Re: Hard freezes with Sid/Experimental
Over about two days, I have had three hard freezes with Sid/Experimental. A few minutes ago, I saw one happen (the others where while I was away). The computer instantly went from fully functional, no problems to frozen solid. Nothing moving on screen, no response to ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-del. No response to ping or power button soft off. The music was replace by a fast cycling jittering/buzzing noise. After a hard reset, everything is fine.

Re: Communication between VMed Debian and Windows
Since I'm new to Linux, I'm still in the migration process. Now I use VMware running Debian. After I can do most of jobs with it that Windows can do I'll switch to it and drop Windows. (to use it in VMware at most) I think I should do more and more jobs in Debian so I'll get used to it. Here's my question: How can I get a copy of those pdf files stored in Windows so I can read them in Linux? If you have Vmware tools installed you should be able to simple drag and drop the files from windows to the VM, or else you can set up a shared folder, use WinSCP, use ftp, set up Samba or use any other usual method you can come up with. -- Sharninder http://nomadicrider.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

NT, unlike other Microsoft OSes, also pretends to have something approaching memory management, so that rules out Loadlin, which basically stomps over the memory occupied by Windows to work, as I understand it, which is why when you run it from anywhere but a genuine DOS prompt Windows complains about not being shut down right. that's exactly where i'm stuck. there has to be some way to do this. i'm sure Nt is'nt *that* finicky about leaving memory to some process like loadlin.. basically just a small utility that would force NT to restart should do but before that it'll have to make sure that on restart the utility gets control and not the NT bootloader .. which would again bring u back to square one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Problems upgrading from potato to woody
First question: can I force the configure stage of mc ('Setting up

do u want this ... dpkg-reconfigure mc
I have never got this to work before, but I had hoped it would this
time, plus I thought it would be nice if debconf could keep track of
this stuff. Unfortunately, as usual for me, now X doesn't work any more.
try xf86config
Second question: I want to give it a few more tries, how can I force the
configure stage to run again? I guess it's the 'Setting up
xserver-mach64 (3.3.6-44)' that I want to restart.
dpkg-reconfigure xserver
Third question: Is woody still using X version 3.x? One of the reasons I
decided to go over to woody was to get version 4 of X, but the above
makes me think it is still version 3.3.6.

Re: Remote KDE desktop over SSH?
VNC is not the answer I'm looking for. VNC is slow as all hell and even slower when given a color depth that isn't craptastic.

Re: urgent Mail Server
which is the *easiest* MTA? I would have liked to use the debian default Exim but the docs for fools like me are rather thin, the one I use will need to have plenty of simple and clear documentation, remembering I know very little about administering Use exim only .. hop over to exim.org .. lots of documentation there .. And then do a eximconfig ... it should work out of the box.

Re: Debian's release support policy
Does Debian have an official policy regarding how long security updates and critical bug fixes will be provided for a release (e.g. six months, one year, etc)? i am not too sure but i think i read this somewhere that as long as there is a current release updates will be provided for it. When a new major version comes upgrades will be stopped. upgrades for woody 3.0 will be stopped when 3.x comes out.Of course, the list would continue to support all versions, depending on the number of ppl who use it.

Woody+KDE3.1
hi, My apologies for asking this oft repeated question again, but i could'nt find anything on the archives which could solve my problem.Firstly I am a Debian newbie (kind of). I have the seven CDs of woody r0 with me and during installation only gave the option c/c++ developement unix tools or something ... using tasksel ... and skipped dselect.basically i did an almost base install. Then i let the installer scan all the 7 CDs. and then after the install was over i did aapt-get install kde Now i got the kde3.1 backport from ktown.kde.org/~nolden .. on a CD. I put the line to that in my sources.list and did an apt-get updatewhich was successful (because it did'nt show any errors !!). Now how do i upgrade kde2.2 to kde3.1. apt-get upgrade does'nt do anything ... installs one or two packages and keeps the rest of the kde. apt-get dist-upgrade says it'll have to remove the whole kde.Am i doing something wrong ? Do i need more packages like gcc3.x or something ? I really need to use kde3.1 on woody. And can't do it from the net because i don't have a fast net connection.thanx Sharninder Singh National Institute Of Management, Calcutta -- 'M.C.S.E - Minesweeper Consultant Solitaire Expert' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Woody+KDE3.1
Did not upgrade from 2.2. Removed 2.2 before. On a clean install of Woody did not install 2.2 but later installed KDE3.1 using the using the http link from kde.org //download.kde.org/stable/3.1/Debian stable main Had no problems with that. how did u do that ? AFAIK there is no kde meta package for kde3.1 so i can't do an apt-get install kde.What are the minimum packages that i need to install to get kde up ... and from then on i can install only the packages i need.

Re: FW: FW: Retrieving mail from a web based mail service?
I was wondering if there was nything like fetchmail for web based access? not any AFAIK.

If it's yahoo or hotmail u migth find something of your interest on freshmeat. It should be possible to write a simple utility to do your job though.

Re: Local Root Hole
xepsilon writes A local Linux security hole using ptrace has been discovered that allows a potential attacker to gain root privileges. Linux 2.2.25 has been released to correct this security hole, along with a patch for 2.4.20-pre kernels. 2.4.21 ought to contain this fix, once it is released. 2.5 is not believed to be vulnerable to this security hole. See this email from Alan Cox for details, and a patch. Yes, this affects u too. get the patch and then man patch to learn how to apply the patch. one thing though, the patch is applied to the source files and u would have to recompile the kernel after that.

Re: Upgrade to KDE 3.1
What I would usually do (and there may be a better way) is on the new PC I would add the appropriate URL to /etc/apt/sources.list for retreiving the debs and then run an apt-get update to make the computer aware of the available updates. Next I would copy all of the debs to /var/cache/apt/archives on the new PC and simply run apt-get dist-upgrade. This way you can use apt to solve any dependency issues for you but still use the pre-downloaded files. i have somehow managed to put the right entry in sources.list now and ran an apt-get update.Now, when I give a apt-get install kde it gives me an error mentioning at least a hundred dependencies !! which packages do install to install and run kde ...

hi all, I don't know if anyone this problem is being faced by anyone else also but whenever i press the reply button on my webmail client (Squirrelmail) on any of the mails from the debian-user list, the mail is sent to the guy who posted the msg and not debian-user. I think the reply-to field is set to the poster but being a public list i think it should be set back to the list itself so that the msg can be archived and other ppl can also benefit from the reply.
