I looked at the file /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.8/etc/NEWS but I didn't find the trick within it. (I looked at the file BETA btw) However I noticed that the package ps-print isn't loaded when xemacs boots. But if I do "Options->Advanced->Emacs" then ps-print is loaded and then, "File->Print file" works. It's a temporary solution...

I have joined the pdftohtml-general list and I obtained part of the solution: We have to copy the file /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc in our home directoty (.xpdfrc)and add int it the line: unicodeMap Latin2 /usr/share/xpdf/latin2/Latin2.unicodeMap After that, we must launch the command: pdftohtml -enc Latin2 file.pdf Normaly we expected a file: file.html, but I obtained : segmentation fault ;-) I tried again pdftohtml -c -enc Latin2 file.pdf and then it works. The result was better than with the command: pdftohtml file.pdf, but it was not perfect yet: The accents are almost right except the è and the ê and the underline (image.png) which was not in the right place. The user of the list pdftohtml-general who helped me was surprised that the command: pdftohtml -enc Latin2 file.pdf gave me segmentation fault whereas for him this command worked fine.

echo
i=0
for i in `seq 6`; do
echo -ne "\e[0;46;31m $[ 6-$i ]\e[0m" ;

echo -en "\r"
done
echo
C:
#timerest2.c

int main()
{
unsigned i;

{
printf("\e[0;46;31m%d\e[0m", 5 - i);
sleep(1);
printf("\r");
}

I think that my question was not very clear.
timerest3.pl in fact is a subroutine in a little script Perl that I wrote
myself ( I am not a student who expect that others do his work :-))
In that subroutine I wrote
..
while ($i < 6) {
print "\e[0;46;31m", 5-$i, "\e[0m";
`sleep 1`; # the sleep of the shell
print "\r";
...
If i use the sleep of Perl there nothing is displayed at though with the sleep
of the shell the numbers 5 4 3 2 1 0 are displayed as I want.
And, I don't understand why the sleep of Perl doesn't work ?
I think it is not coherent to use the sleep of the shell whereas Perl has such
function. And I tried to write this function in C to rewrite my program in
C . but the C function sleep in C works like in Perl ...
But I accept that my problem is irrelevant with the list debian-user.
I apologise for having disturb you.
Thanks.

perl gnuplot
Hello,
I want to run a script perl which use gnuplot.
this script gives statistics to a game named "loto", it consists
to choose seven numbers among 49 [1 .. 49]. (seven balls among 49 balls)
The script "loto2.pl", it works on the file of results named "loto15".
( in fact loto15 contains 3430 results not 15)
The script is launched by : cat loto15 | ./loto2.pl
The script loto2.pl runs almost fine as root but as user there is a
problem of permission and the script doesn't work.
Can someone help me to solve this problem ?
I join the files that I used :
loto2.pl
loto15
and the errors :
loto_root.log
loto_user.log
T.I.A.

P.S.1 print PLOT qq{set term png color\n} (L42) don't works fine it

However I don't think it is a problem with perl.

Thanks, I have followed your advice and so I have upgraded the soft
which I needed.
However now (after upgrade) when I run a perl script I get this warning:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "fr_FR.ISO-8859.1"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
xemacs give the message:
(1) (xim-xlib/warning) Can't set locale.
Using C locale instead.
With potato LC_ALL is unset but I don't have trouble.
How can I set locale ?
TIA.
Thanks to you all who have helped me.

passwd
Hello, I have written a script perl(not very perlich ;-)) which install n accounts but I have encountered few problems: 1 "useradd" works fine except for the password (not encrypted) 2 "mkpasswd" look nice but /etc/shadow doesn't like it's encrypted passwords ? 3 "makepasswd" create passwords accepted by /etc/shadow.

Many thanks for your advices.

Thanks for your advices. I have encountered problems with kernel 2.8.6 and xmms which worked fine as root but not as user. I posted a question about this to the list xmms-dev and their reply was: change the permission of /dev/hdc. The permission origine of /dev/hdc was 660, I put it to 644 and now xmms works fine for the users. It's a problem with gtk whilst cdcd have no problem. It works fine for the users with 660 for /dev/hdc. (and 4755 for cdcd) I tried to put 4755 to xmms but I received a protest of gtk. ( reason of security: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html ) Now I have upgraded with kernel 2.9.1 and the problem of permission with xmms are identical. I wonder if I am messing my system in changing the permissions of /dev/hdc ? -- Gerard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Works for me too. (2.6.9) and all the previous commands gives me the same
outcome but the next

> CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
gives me: zcat: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory
lsmod | grep ide_cd gives me:
ide_cd 38176 0
cdrom 35996 1 ide_cd
ide_core 128112 5 ide_cd,usb_storage,ide_generic,ide_disk,amd74xx
why /proc/config.gz does not exist for me ?

The commands systemctl stop fetchmail.service systemctl disable fetchmail.service doesn't work. I had tried them before sending my message. I had tried sudo kill -9 ... without success either. Finally I purged and reinstalled fetchmail and now : ps ax | grep fetchmail 3566 pts/0S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto fetchmail no more daemons in the background and I can load my posts with fetchmail.

What init system do you use? My problem is that I don't know what starts it. If I knew what started it I might be able to prevent it from starting. I never had this problem with bullseye.

Thank you for your reply. reinstalling fetchmail is not the solution because on the next start the problem comes back and (I must be stupid) because despite all the ideas you give me I cannot kill the background process of fetchmail. The solution: purge fetchmail and install getmail6. Getmail6 works well, without complications. Thanks again. Gerard Created with Mutt 2.2.6-1 under Debian Linux BOOKWORM

kernel unsigned
Hello, In my BULLSEYE box, when i make "apt upgrade" if a new kernel is installed it is a signed kernel that is installed, but on my machine it is an unsigned kernel that I chose to install. How can you force "apt" to install the unsigned kernel? For example: the kernel linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64-unsigned is the kernel used. "apt upgrade" installs the kernel linux-image-5.2.0-3-amd64 (signed) TIA PS sorry but I'm not subscribed to the list for now. -- Gerard ** * Created with "mutt 1.10.1" * under Debian Linux BULLSEYE **

I read somewhere that the signed kernel was for the "secure boot" of microsoft and I have nothing of microsoft on my machine, so that's why I installed the unsigned kernel.

This might be a result of the menu transition[0] and maybe worth a report, if there isn???t already one. I think this is by design; the GNOME folks seem to think that the Debian menu is bloated, confusing, and duplicates the neat , functional, ergonomic Gnome menu, so the default is to hide the ugly duckling.
