Re: Jerky Screen Saver
Sorry for taking so long to respond. Yes, Euphoria also does the same thing. Except it is even worse. Euphoria has an 18 second delay between jerks (movements). I also noticed that I have a lot of screensaver names listed but they don't work. So now I'm thinking that I'm missing some package.

echo $MAIL
Hello, I'm trying to learn Mutt. On the My First Mutt web site http://mutt.blackfish.org.uk/storage/it says that Mutt by default looks in the mailspool for mail.

I booted it up and went to Control PanelLook FeelTheme Manager, and I was able to change Themes at will with no problem.

KDE Theme Manager Problem
Pardon me if this is on the wrong list. I wasn't sure whether to post this on this list or the KDE list. I don't know what I've done, but I've screwed up my Woody system somehow. I had a perfectly good Woody system and then I decided to upgrade all of the security updates. Then, being the newbie that I am, when I discovered how to pull packages down from testing, I got excited and upgraded some packages to testing. Now, my problem is that I cannot change the KDE themes. If I go into Control CenterLook FeelTheme Manager and click on any of the installed themes I get this error message: Sorry Theme does not contain a .themerc nor a .theme file. Now, I have checked, and the themes are installed in /usr/share/apps/kstyle/themes, and every one of them end with .themerc. I tried reinstalling kdeartwork-theme-desktop with apt-get install reinstall, but that didn't fix the problem. Then I tried reinstalling kdeartwork-theme-desktop with Kpackage. In Kpackage I got these messages: dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. this was at the end of the previous line. I checked my root PATH and it does contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. So, what could be the problem? -- debian_newbie, Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Sun, 16 Mar 2003 20:58:02 -0500 [EMAIL PROTECTED] sat at his keyboard and wrote: As a general rule, it isn't safe to force things. That's why it must be specified as an argument. In THIS case, it's safe, and we can be pretty certain of that: 1. Apt's error message tells you the problem is that the package failed to install because one of its files would overwrite a file already on the system. This is good, safe default behavior, because apt doesn't know whether the packages work and play well together. 2. We, on the other hand, can be sure it's OK to overwrite THIS file, because it's part of the same version of CUPS. If one file were from CUPS and the other from (for example) gnome-print we wouldn't be able to say whether the files would conflict or not. If you're a new Debianese these things can be confusing. (Heck, if you're an old Debianese they can be confusing!) I recommend installing aptitude. Use it to browse the Not installed packages --- doc section. Install everything about Debian, apt, and dpkg that you have room for, especially the Debian Reference, newbiedoc, and dwww. Then the fun begins. We need to find a way to transmit that knowledge to our brains. Unfortunately, there's only one way. Say it with me, RTFM. big g Good luck. Kevin Thank you Kevin for your elaborate, well put, answer. As you can see by my sig, I AM a certified Debianese newbie. I did try aptitude. The one thing I didn't like about ti was that it didn't show me how big the packages are before I download them. I like to know this because I have a dialup connection which I share with my three teeagers. So, i like to have an estimate in my head of how long it's going to take to download this update. Maybe I missed it; does aptitude show package sizes? Thanks for the RTFM tip, I'll do that right away. I'm pretty sure my 75GB WD drive has enough room. -- debian_newbie, Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
