Help with understanding touchpad acceleration on libinput/Wayland
Hi. Day 2 of Debian for me! I'm a long time on-off Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi OS user though - but first time with a standard Debian install, and first time with Wayland. I'd love some pointers about how (if at all) I can change the acceleration of my touchpad. Truth is, I'm not sure what I want to change though. On Ubuntu I couldn't make it feel how I wanted either. I just want it to feel how it does on Windows! I struggle to hit anything small, such as a window close button or grabbing the edge of a window to resize. I can't put my finger on what's different. Maybe I just need time to get muscle memory? It somehow just feels a bit fatiguing using it, too, like getting where I want is an effort...? I've tried changing the speed, obviously. I've got a Lenovo IdeaPad 710S-13IKB running Gnome on Buster. I've got a 13" screen scaled at 100% in Gnome, which does make everything a bit small, which may have something to do with the problem. I'm using Large Text in Universal Access to get around the absence of fractional scaling. libinput doesn't seem to have a support channel, as far as I can find, and I haven't got a bug, so I thought I'd ask here. On Ubuntu/X11 I've tried changing acceleration parameters with xinput, but I see from the libinput FAQ that they are aiming for as few user-configurable options as possible. Thanks for your help!

Updated Debian 9: 9.13 released
The Debian Project https://www.debian.org/ Updated Debian 9: 9.13 released pr...@debian.org July 18th, 2020https://www.debian.org/News/2020/20200718 The Debian project is pleased to announce the thirteenth (and final) update of its oldstable distribution Debian 9 (codename "stretch"). This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories have already been published separately and are referenced where available. After this point release, Debian's Security and Release Teams will no longer be producing updates for Debian 9. Users wishing to continue to receive security support should upgrade to Debian 10, or see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for details about the subset of architectures and packages covered by the Long Term Support project. Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 9 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old "stretch" media. After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror. Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages, and most such updates are included in the point release. New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations. Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by pointing the package management system at one of Debian's many HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: https://www.debian.org/mirror/list Miscellaneous Bugfixes -- This oldstable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages: +--+--+ | Package | Reason | +--+--+ | acmetool [1] | Rebuild against recent golang to pick up | | | security fixes | | | | | atril [2]| dvi: Mitigate command injection attacks | | | by quoting filename [CVE-2017-1000159]; | | | fix overflow checks in tiff backend | | | [CVE-2019-1010006]; tiff: Handle failure | | | from TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented | | | [CVE-2019-11459] | | | | | bacula [3] | Add transitional package bacula- | | | director-common, avoiding loss of /etc/ | | | bacula/bacula-dir.conf when purged; make | | | PID files owned by root | | | | | base-files [4] | Update /etc/debian_version for the point | | | release | | | | | batik [5]| Fix server-side request forgery via | | | xlink:href attributes [CVE-2019-17566] | | | | | c-icap-modules [6] | Support ClamAV 0.102 | | | | | ca-certificates [7] | Update Mozilla CA bundle to 2.40,| | | blacklist distrusted Symantec roots and | | | expired "AddTrust External Root" ; | | | remove e-mail only certificates | | | | | chasquid [8] | Rebuild against recent golang to pick up | | | security fixes | | | | | checkstyle [9] | Fix XML External Entity injection issue | | | [CVE-2019-9658 CVE-2019-10782] | | | | | clamav [10] | New upstream release [CVE-2020-3123];| | | security fixes [CVE-2020-3327 CVE-2020- | | | 3341]| | | | | compactheader [11] | New upstream version, compatible with| | | newer Thunderbird v

Wireless stopped working...
- My Dell Latitude C610 with an Atheros AR5212/5213 mini-PCI card (according to Hardware information) has been connecting to my wireless network for a good month. Then, it stopped working. It says connected, but there's no internet. I have made no changes to the wireless, no changes to the Ubuntu install, as far as I know. Any idea why it would spontaneously quit working?

MIDI Score Reader/Editor that WORKS??
- Ok, I'm getting really frustrated. I have a midi score I want to read and print, and I CANNOT find a program that just F*cking WORKS. I have tried GNU Denemo, and it crashes when I load a score. Rosegarden is nice, but won't allow me to split out the score into multiple lines, and since it's a piano score, that is a problem. I tried to install Canorus, and it won't work, and neither will mscore. Both gave me some weird errors or just wouldn't work right, and I followed the installation instructions to a T. So what can I do? This all is really frustrating me...not to mention the fact that jackd is not working properly with my Delta 1010 sound card for some reason...and I don't know what in the world is going on there either.

ripping cds
Ripping CDs Without Splitting Tracks - Many of the CDs I listen to have tracks that run into each other (yes, I know, I'm an aging hippy!). In Windoze I used MusicMatch to rip CDs which, to the best of my knowledge, was the only product that allowed you to specify a start and stop time for the rip thereby enabling you to span track intersections and treat them as one mp3.

changing from 2.6.15 to 2.6.18 breaks ipw2200 support for IBM Thinkpad x40

X error : Major opcode: 151
I just used aptitude to upgrade my debian/unstable box (the previous full update was on 2006-03-19), and then several graphical programs are now having one same error. For some it is fatal, for some it only prints an error report. These errors don't happen _at all_ when I launch windowmaker instead of kde, and I absolutely don't know if this problem is specific to my box, or due to a bug in a package (and then which package..) Just in case it could be hardware-related, my video card is a nvidia GeForce2 with 32MB RAM, and my screen is set to 1680x1050 (16bpp), I'm using latest xorg server, with nv driver. Here are the reports from a few various programs, hoping someone might point me in the right direction : -- firefox and thunderbird : crashes on launch with : The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 418 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) -- gqview : crashes on launch, The program 'gqview' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 143 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) etc. -- "gimp --verbose" starts OK, until I click "open" then crashes The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 19546 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 23) - knode : reports errors, works normally X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1 Major opcode: 151 Minor opcode: 23 Resource id: 0x3e4 it seems all KDE apps work (printing a few of those reports along the way), as overall my kde desktop and usual kde apps appear unaffected. -- opera : reports that same error, works normally

Planet Penguin Racer problems
I (David Bruce) am Laura's dad. We are having trouble with PlanetPenguinRacer (the successor to TuxRacer). Upon starting a course, the view perspective switches to looking back at the penguin instead of looking ahead from behind. This makes it a little tricky to decide where to steer, to say the least. Laura's computer is running Sid with kernel = 2.6.11, KDE = 3.3.2, kdelibs4_4%3a3.3.2-7_i386.deb, and planetpenguin-racer_0.3.1-2_i386.deb. I know that a lot of things are broken in Sid due to the C++ transition, but if anyone knows of a reasonably simple fix to get PlanetPenguinRacer operating sanely, I will have a much happier seven year old, and also one who thinks more highly of "The Penguin System".

Re: Problems with Install of Woody from CD (and Network)
I'm fairly new to Debian too. It took me a while to get the 1st install done due to hardware problems. I have since discovered that I only needed the 1st CD to do a network install. But if you don't have at least DSL, it's gonna take forever. Also, and this is a matter of philosophy, you'll find that what gets included in the unstable release is generally a version or 2 behind what the other distributions included in their last release. That, and that configuring apt-get to do what you want it to is difficult to say the least. Though to be fair, it does do a good job of getting the basic stuff. I've not been able to get an X server/desktop environment, or a mail reader, or a decent editor going either. I'm just about to give up on Debian. there's nothing it can do poorly that I haven't been able to do better in RedHat (so far). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have a cheap camera that connects to a USB port. One of my problems getting it to work with debian (woody) is that when I plug it in, the module stv680 gets loaded. After I 'rmmod stv680', gphoto2 can download the pictures in the camera, but while it's loaded, it can't. What is causing that module to get loaded? I've looked at /etc/modules, /etc/modules.conf and all the files in /etc/modutils, and none of them mention stv680. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It says it can't. Also possibly related to all this, things are fine on my account. But on another user account, if she tries to load the printing manager, it comes up three times with an error "There was an error loading kdeprint_lpd. Diagnostic is:" and that's all. But there is no printer listed at all, then. I wonder if some of our installation files are corrupted. Solution: As far as I can tell, what got things working for me was to (a) Turn off 600 dpi printing or 600-300 dpi printing on the color printing (b) Make sure to select a NON-cups driver, then reselct a CUPS driver, and then the printers show up. Select a printer, install a new instance of the HP printer, set its dpi, page type, color type and all, and set that as the default. Don't set the "DEFAULT" as default. Both "DEFAULT" and "600 dpi color" seem to cause the junk printing, possibly because the 1120c can only handle 600dpi black printing, not 600dpi color printing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

CUPS/HP/lp printer errors
Hi, I have a Sid system with KDE 3.0, and CUPS with lp, tied to a HP Deskjet 1120C. When I try to print a postscript file (lp myfile.ps), often I get a bunch of junky, splotchy pages. If I look closely, I can see the general shapes of letters within the blocky splotches, but the letters are an inch high, and very broken up. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong with this? Or how might this be printed instead? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Syncing some flavor calendar and bbdb address book with pilot
I know the demise of ical has been discussed, and I've read the suggestions, and some of them work for just the calendar part, but I still don't have a good one-step solution for getting my pilot synced and backed up. Before I installed Woody, I was using a script which did a syncal to sync my ical calendar, a syncBBDB bootstrap to sync my BBDB address book, and then a pilot-xfer --backup to get the backup done. This was a bit of a nuisance, since I had to press the hotsync button three times, but I did it when I was working on something else and just pushing a button isn't that big of a deal. However, I haven't figured out a way to get this all done on Woody by running only one program on the desktop. I can use pilotManager and SyncBBDB to sync my address book. I got some of the calendar programs to sync before I made the mistake of putting a repeating event into one of them (probably jpilot, but I'm not absolutely sure). But I want to be able to do all three things with one program invocation. Has anyone gotten any of the calendar conduits for Pilot manager working? plan seems to work as a calendar, but I haven't managed to configure it to sync with pilotManager. The XML conduits from Norm Walsh look like a good idea but don't seem to really synchronize yet, and I really do want to be able to enter appointments on either the pilot or the desktop. Or alternatively, has anyone got their BBDB into a format that can sync with jpilot or the kde or gnome pilot sync programs? Or even less work, has anyone got a calendar program that produces output that syncs with syncal? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

html-mode in xemacs
I switched to Debian from Mandrake a couple of weeks ago, and my record is pretty good on making most things I had working on Mandrake work on Debian, but one irritating failure is the html-mode for editing html files. I don't see anything that would be relevant in any of the local directories on my load path, but when I open an html file, I get: Loading html-helper-mode... File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "psgml-lucid") I can't find a psgml-lucid file, either using apt-cache or locate.

Upgrading, getting the package
Hi -- I generally use dselect, not understanding the apt-* system (not for want of trying, but the documentation is completely opaque to me. Sorry, there seems to be a density barrier there as of right now. Maybe in a year I'll understand it...) Anyhow: I was having problems with KDE2.2.2; on the KDE listserver, asked about it, and was told "we basically don't support KDE2.2.2 anymore. Upgrade to 3.04". So with that in mind, I uninstalled KDE 2.2.2, and upgraded my system from Woody to Sid (so far, so good). But then I went to install KDE again, and didn't see a version of KDE past 2.2.2 No problem: I decided just to go to KDE.ORG and download the debs. Problem. There are a ton of debs there, I have Mozilla with a 5-link download max, and a high-speed 120kbaud ISP that actually does between 300baud and 24kbaud, depending on the day and hour. So I'd *really* like to go back and find some way to be able to simply "dselect" KDE 3.04. Not to mention, I'll be able to better see what the packages are, avoid conflicts, and such. Anyone know how to do this? I suspect it has something to do with sources, but to be able to set my sources on my own, I have to know (1) how to find out what is out there, (2) how to set my sources to that without destroying my old sources (and creating problems for other installed packages) (3) how to link that with dselect, should that be a problem. - Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
