I wish I knew why emacs is smarter than Kile....
Dear gurus, I use emacs for most programming and scripting tasks (what else?), but have to come to like kile for writing LaTeX. I have never seemed to manage locales very well, and now after an update on testing, kile displays German characters (Umlauts and Esszed i.e. äöüß) as gibberish e.g. ÃŒ, while emacs shows everything correctly.

Hello Todd,
error: unknown command 'initrd'
How can I recover from this?
First, you need to get the system up. Do this by editing the boot
command so the first two lines get removed. That is, the ones that
begin
set root=
search --fs-uuid
If that doesn't start the system correctly, you'll have to drop to a
grub command line (possibly after a reboot) and enter the lines
beginning
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2
then
initrd /boot/initrd.img
Once you get the system up, comment out all occurrences of the lines
starting (as root)
set root=
search --fs-uuid
All should now work correctly. Why those two lines stuff things up, I
don't know. However, since you're the only other person I know of that
has this issue, I'm guessing it's not a universal problem.
I had the same problem and solved by commenting out the set and search
lines in grub.cfg:
menuentry Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686 {
# set root=(hd0,1)
# search --fs-uuid --set 49db5ebc-7a54-4501-9c3f-12a2e2a36f78
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
}

Sorry if this is a bit OT, but does anyone on this list have any tips on tutorials for creating a dynamic C library from a source tree with the following structure: public_header_file.h (perhaps in directory called include) directory_with_lots_of_c_and_private_h_files (nicer still would be multiple separate directories!) thanks Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks,
I have figured out that hv is referring to a helvetica font. I have not
been able to figure out which debian package provides this font, or if
it needs to be installed otherwise. I have just tried the
ttf-mscore-fonts package with no luck.
AFAIK, the Helvetica font family is referred to as phv in latex's font
selection scheme, e.g. \renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv} to set the
default font family of a document to Helvetica. The fonts are provided
by the package texlive-fonts-recommended.
In your case, however, mktextfm seems to look for the metafont source
for a hv font; this source should be named hv.mf and I cannot find a
file of that name anywhere in Debian or CTAN. If this is an unusual or
commercial font, then there should be some documentation or remarks in
the comments on where to get the font. (Could it be one of the HV math
fonts from MicroPress?) What kind of files are you trying to process?
I now think that the problem was that the cls file was trying to
redefine the default helvetica font to a proprietary font called hv that
is available on dome other system (?Windows). After commenting out those
lines, the error messages disappeared.

Java webstart in amd64
Dear all, although I have seen some pages with advice on how to get java working in amd64 / testing, I am still a bit confused. Is the best way to go a chroot environment? In particular, I have not had great experiences with gcjava and prefer the sun version of java, but no javaws is available at present for amd64. DOes anyone know of a tutorial on how to get things rolling? thanks :_} Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Freeze on Caplock in kile
Hi folks, I am running the latest unstable system. Three times in the last week my machine comnpletely froze up while I was using Kile, seemingly after hitting the shift key (?). The two LEDs on the upper right of the keyboard then start blinking, the mouse and everything else freezes (i.e., it is not possible to restart X but I needed to poweroff the computer manually).

Are you sure your input encoding is indeed ansinew? I'd bet it's

You might have to pass some additional parameters to the snd_hda_intel

Installing Testing onto an Intel DG965WH-board Machine
Dear all, I am having some difficulties installing Debian onto my new machine. The hardware is: 1)CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.40 GHz, L2 Cache 4096 kB 2)Board: Intel Desktop Board DG965WH 3)DVD Recorder: ASUS Lightscribe Drive DRW-1814BL and some other more or less standard equipment. The problem is that the installation CDs start the installation but then do not recognize the DVD drive (I have used jigdo for Testing CD #1), even after BIOS updates. I think the problem is that a relatively recent loadable kernel module is required, because Kubuntu is able to start and recognizes all my hardware. I therefore did an lsmod for both CDs, and found a list of modules that are loaded in the working Kubuntu installation CD and are absent in the Debian installation that doesnt work. I have not been able to find a good description of the various modules, but I would assume that it is ata_generic and or pata_marvell from the sound of it. (See complete list below). My question is, how do I prepare these modules to use them for the Debian install CD? Do I need to compile an entire new kernel version or is there a better way?

Installing Etch on an Intel DG965WH Board
Hi all! I bought a new computer with the following components: Intel Desktop Board DG965WH Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz (6600) ASUS DVD Recorder/DVD optical drive etc I am trying to install Debian Etch but the installer does not recognize the DVD ROM drive and offers the opportunity to add a driver from floppy. I have not been able to find the right thing. From a search in Google, I would imagine that the problem is the SATA controller controller of the Intel board, which has three modes of operation: * IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID * SATA mode (sometimes called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID * RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled I have tried all three modes with no success. I am a bit surprise because I bought this particular combination because, among other things, of reports in the internet that the board worked more or less out of the box with linux... I would appreciate any ideas on where to look for solutions. Thanks, Peter :-} -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is connected as SATA. There is no entry in /dev/ that seems promising (/dev/scd0 is not present). It seems funny that the installer CD is able to get that far but then is no longer able to read itself... I have seen that Ubuntu can be booted via USB stick in order to get a working system running. I believe something similar is possible for Debian although I have never tried it. Does that seem promising? thanks, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

From a quick Google search I found some Linuxers running the drive...so it would seem selecting the proper SATA setup in the Bios is the key. Did your MB come setup in the computer? Yeah, I actually googled first before deciding to buy these components. I bought the components from a company here that assembled the parts, tested everything with Windows XP, and then thankfully were nice enough to remove that software from my computer. So for better or worse I take it that the hardware works and that there is a setup problem. As I say, I tried the three options to set up SATA, being *IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID, * SATA mode (sometimes called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID and * RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled. There didnt appear to be much else to do in the BIOS settings, but I am no big expert. thanks Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

ams.sty not found after updating to texlive
Dear Debianers, I am running a debian sid system on a Dell dimension 8300 PC (2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP) and am having some problems getting latex working after I updated some packages to day. I removed the tetex packages and installed texlive (initially including texlive-base, texlive-bin, texlive-common and subsequently texlive-all). After this, the system cannot find the ams.sty file for the American Mathematical Society package (which should apparently be installed with texlive-base -- this package is listed as installed at version 2007-4). Using find /usr/share -iname amy.sty turned up nothing either. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Thanks Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

iMovie Ersatz for debian?

Example: dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+final_i386.deb Note: Name of JDK is sun-j2sdk1.5 9) Now install package with Debian-specific things that corresponds to the .deb created.

How to include cweb-generated plain tex files in latex (OT?)
Dear list, please forgive this somewhat OT question, but a hour's worth of googling didnt turn up a solution. I have done a recent programming project with Knuths literate programming cweb package, which is an amazing tool that generates C code and documentation automagically. Now I would like to include the generated plain tex files in a LaTeX document, but this seems to generate 100s of errors. Is there something I am missing?

Where did the AT go?
Hi list, after an update of several programs using aptitude, I can no longer type an @ from the keyboard (I have a German QWERTZ keyboard, 105-de). Normally, to get the @ on this keyboard, you need to type ALT-GR-Q. Other ALT-GR mapped characters such as ~ and \ are fine. The X configuration file also seems the same as ever. dpkg-reconfigure console-data did not change anything. Any other ideas? The problem only affects X, when starting without X I can type @ as always. Thanks Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

diagnostics for unreliable network

There is no hardware problem as I can get into the network without problems from another OS. /etc/init.d/network restart executes without messages, but plog then shows: anna:/home/peter# plog Oct 25 07:12:14 localhost pppd[5936]: sendPacket: send: Network is down Oct 25 07:12:14 localhost pppd[5936]: Exit.

Are there any diagnostic tools that would allow one to narrow down the problem? I am not sure where to start looking?

Cannot get Xorg to start
Hi Guys and Gals, sorry to bother again, I am still struggling with getting Xorg to start on my system (debian testing, 2.6.7 kernel). I have used essentially the same settings as previously with xfree86. When I enter startx, I get a message that no device can be opened for the mouse xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mouse0 If I go cat /dev/input/mouse0 (or /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice) no device is ffound. This is strange because they are the same devices that always worked previously. Could this have to do with some unresolved conflict between xfree86 and xorg?

Did you change your kernel at the same time you migrated from XF86 to Xorg? Do you have a USB or a PS/2 mouse? Did you compile the kernel yourself, or are you using a prepackaged one? Jan -- Jan C.

Laser Printer
Hi, I am looking to buy a laser printer in the range of 200-250 Euro and would like to get one that will work under Debian without all too much fuss. From the specs and the price, Lexmark E232t is looking pretty nice. Has anyone set this up under a testing Debian system? Can this (or another printer) be recommended?

Debian Install over T-DSL
Hi list, please forgive what may be a basic question from a newbie to Debian. In order to avoid downloading and burning lots of CDs with jigdo, I have tried to install the Debian testing version using a sarge netinstall CD (Aug 20). I was hoping to use my T-DSL connection to complete the install, but the installation did not appear to have the option of using a DSL connection. I now have the basis system running, is there any way of getting the packages required for T-DSL access installed? Or is there any way of doing this with the existing net-install CD?
