Unless you were a very bad covert agent, you would say that, wouldn't you ;).



Help with understanding touchpad acceleration on libinput/Wayland

2021-03-07 Thread Laura Smith
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

2020-07-19 Thread Laura Arjona Reina

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

Debian 8 Long Term Support reaching end-of-life pr...@debian.org
July 9th, 2020 https://www.debian.org/News/2020/20200709



The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 8
"jessie" support has reached its end-of-life on June 30, 2020, five
years after its initial release on April 26, 2015.

Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 8. A subset
of "jessie" packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed
information can be found at Extended LTS [1].

1: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended

The LTS Team will prepare the transition to Debian 9 "stretch", which is
the current oldstable release. The LTS Team has taken over support from
the Security Team on July 6, 2020 while the final point update for
"stretch" will be released on July 18, 2020.

Debian 9 will also receive Long Term Support for five years after its
initial release with support ending on June 30, 2022. The supported
architectures remain amd64, i386, armel and armhf. In addition we are
pleased to announce, for the first time support will be extended to
include the arm64 architecture.

For further information about using "stretch" LTS and upgrading from
"jessie" LTS, please refer to LTS/Using [2].

2: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using

Debian and its LTS Team would like to thank all contributing users,
developers and sponsors who are making it possible to extend the life of
previous stable releases, and who have made this LTS a success.

If you rely on Debian LTS, please consider joining the team [3],
providing patches, testing or funding the efforts [4].

Ports

Hi,
I want to install Debian, but am unsure if it will be supported on my
laptop. It wasn't specifically mentioned in the list of ports, but I'm not
sure if a general series is listed on the page that contains this
particular one. Anyway, it's Intel Core i3. On an HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,
if that matters.

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?
 
 I'm using WEP shared encryption.

First question:
 Is it always bad to update Ubuntu?
 
 I have an Acer with an Atheros wifi
 Wifi was working using madwifi before update
 When I try to follow the instructions on this page:
 http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu
 Under this heading
 Wireless internet using native Madwifi drivers
 
 doing the 'make clean' step I get this:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007$ make clean

 Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/build is missing, please set 
KERNELPATH.  Stop.
 
 Does the update change the kernelpath?
 How do I get this thing going again?
 This time I promise NO MORE UPDATES

MIDI Score Reader/Editor that WORKS??

2008-03-09 Thread laura eznarriaga

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. Any suggestions? Should I just 
give up and reinstall Ubuntu?

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.

Is there an equivalent product available in the Linux world that has this 
functionality and save me the bother of having to stitch the files together 
again?

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

2007-04-22 Thread Laura Creighton

I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.18.  My wireless stopped
working.  According to dmesg and modprobe, the device was there.  After
much 'barking up the wrong tree' I fixed my problem by installing 
firmware version 3.0 from Intel.   You get it here: 
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php  after going through some Intel 
licensing agreement.
Once you get the file and pack it, install what you get into 
/lib/firmware.

Posted here so the next person with this problem will have a faster time
of it.

X error : Major opcode: 151

2006-04-12 Thread Laura Palmer
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

I tried to email her privately but was bounced by the AOL mail
server because that user "wasn't accepting mail" from my email
address.  I checked the headers and everything, and it looks legit
to me.

Anyway, I don't know where the AOL users come from, either.  I would
guess that they google for "change password" or something, find an
archived post on debian-user, and send off an email without at all
understanding what they're doing.  They just have no clue.

We have all been geeks for long enough that we don't understand what
it is like to be completely ignorant and afraid of computers.  These
people have no idea what Debian is, so they don't understand where
their question is going.  Have a little pity.

Planet Penguin Racer problems

2005-08-11 Thread Laura Bruce
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".


Thanks for any help

This is true, but I'm more concerned about aesthetics than utility.  I

Check out this NTFS FAQ:

especially
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#4.9

I think you just need to add a 0 in front of your 3-digit umask.

When you do duplex printing, you typically have to tell the printer
whether to "flip on long edge" (the default), or "flip on short edge",
which is what you want when you're printing 2up on a sheet.  CUPS is
good about letting you decide this when you define a printer.

Try abcmidi.  You'll probably also want an ABC display program like
abc2ps or abcmidi-yaps.  You have to learn the ABC language, but it's
pretty simple.   For instance, taps looks like:

X:1

Go to http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc/ for more
about the ABC language and pointers to other ABC applications.  If you
want a GUI and have java installed, 5 line skink is a good choice.

No, anyone who sells disk space should have a time server.  I don't

Re: Problems with Install of Woody from CD (and Network)

2002-12-25 Thread Ed Laura & Ashley
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).

I suggest (1) you use the ip address instead of the name, (2) that you post

want to link to is actually where you think it is and that it is named what
you think it is.

Also, if the image is a symlink, or if it's outside your docroot, it won't
work.

what's loading stv680?

2002-11-26 Thread Laura Conrad

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.

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.

do you have the cups version of lp installed ? does printing from

Printing from Koffice works more often than not, printing from mozilla

CUPS/HP/lp printer errors

2002-11-18 Thread Laura Rudmin
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?

Syncing some flavor calendar and bbdb address book with pilot

2002-11-16 Thread Laura Conrad

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?

html-mode in xemacs

2002-11-10 Thread Laura Conrad

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.  

I have the following emacs-related things installed:

bash-2.05a$ dpkg -l | grep emacs
ii  emacs-goodies- 10-3   Miscellaneous add-ons for Emacs
rc  emacs2020.7-13.1  The GNU Emacs editor.
ii  emacsen-common 1.4.15 Common facilities for all emacsen.
ii  html-helper-mo 3.0.4jolly-3   A popular HTML editing mode for emacs
ii  xemacs21   21.4.6-8   Editor and kitchen sink
ii  xemacs21-bases 2002.03.29-1   Editor and kitchen sink -- compiled elisp su

ii  xemacs21-suppo 21.4.6-8   Editor and kitchen sink -- architecture inde

I suppose the fact that I originally installed emacs, and then
installed xemacs and then removed emacs might be relevant to this
problem.

Upgrading, getting the package

2002-11-07 Thread Laura Rudmin
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
