Bug#370747: closed by Solveig deb...@solveig.org (Re: Command-line options should override Xresources - closing)
Hi Solveig Sorry if the answer under what conditions the bug arises wasn't clear enough. For a detailed description how to reproduce it see below. The bug is still unfixed. It also has been confirmed by Thomas Dickey. Therefore I'm going to reopen the bug and remove the unreproducible tag. To reproduce the bug: - Set xterm.vt100.saveLines to e.g. 100 in your X resource file (~/.Xresources or whatever): xterm.vt100.saveLines:100 - Merge the resource file: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources - Start an xterm (without options), it should have 100 saved lines. - Start another xtem with option -sl 200. This xterm should have 200 saved lines, as command line options should override resource settings. But it still only has 100 saved lines, the command line option has no effect.

Bug#371870: Printing from firefox and galeon also does not work
Hi The xprint package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened against it. May I ask about the status of this package? I still see it in lenny and sid: $ apt-cache policy xprint xprint: Installed: 2:1.4.2-10 Candidate: 2:1.4.2-10 Version table: *** 2:1.4.2-10 0 850 http://http.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages 650 http://http.us.debian.org sid/main Packages Unfortunately mozilla is gone from debian which should mean I can close this bug. But now the printers are also gone in firefox and galeon (not sure if it worked before with galeon as I stopped using it long ago). No way left to print from a browser directly. The only possibility left is printing to a file from firefox (which is not really satisfying). The xprint.mozdev.org page explicitly lists firefox as an application which supports xprint. When I try to print with galeon it redirects me to the xprint.mozdev.org page in it's error message which suggests that it also supports xprint. So do firefox and galeon on debian (lenny) still support xprint? According to the verification procedure at http://xprint.mozdev.org/installation.html my xprint system works: $ ps ax|grep Xprt 5293 ?S 0:00 /usr/bin/Xprt -ac -pn -nolisten tcp -audit 4 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/dosemu :64 $ echo $XPSERVERLIST :64 $ xplsprinters printer: xlp@:64 printer: us@:64 printer: lp@:64 printer: hplj@:64 printer: color@:64 printer: xp_ps_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs@:64 $ xplsprinters -l | egrep ^printer:|model-identifier= printer: xlp@:64 model-identifier=PSdefault printer: us@:64 model-identifier=PSdefault printer: lp@:64 model-identifier=PSdefault printer: hplj@:64 model-identifier=PSdefault printer: color@:64 model-identifier=PSdefault printer: xp_ps_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs@:64 model-identifier=PSspooldir $ xphelloworld -printer xlp The last command prints a sheet of paper with hello world from X11 print system. Does this mean xprint is working correctly at all and this bug should be reassigned to both firefox and galeon?

Bug#371870: xprint: all printer entries in mozilla are gone
Hi Drew Uwe, you could install firefox for comparison (which still uses xprint). Printing with firefox still works (if XPSERVERLIST is set, as I wrote in my last mail). But unfortunatly printing with firefox is buggy (only the first print job is ok, afterwards the page header and footer are screwed up - no punctuation characters in the URL, page numbers are only printed as of and the date is missing) and the used fonts are ugly. So I always have prefered to print with mozilla. What is your underlying print server? lpr You add new printers via the printer system interface, not in iceape itself, but iceape should pick them up. All printers are added to /etc/printcap. Printing from the command line works. More details about this. startx (and xinit) should be accessing /etc/X11/Xsession and its scripts automatically, that is XPSERVERLIST should be set automatically, even from startx. I presume this did not happen for you because you have ~/.xinitrc set up to manually start the programs you want. In this case your .xinitrc will be used instead of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, and so /etc/X11/Xsession will not be invoked (unless you invoke it yourself inside .xinitrc). I have no .xinitrc, but a .xsession file. Maybe there's the problem. But I don't worry to set XPSERVERLIST manually, if that's enough to make printing from firefox work. I would be pleased if there were a comparably easy way to make printing from mozilla work again. Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#371870: xprint: all printer entries in mozilla are gone
But I don't worry to set XPSERVERLIST manually, if that's enough to make printing from firefox work. I have rechecked that now. Looks like one of the X11 upgrades has solved this problem. I don't have to set XPSERVERLIST in my user environment anymore, it is set automatically. So for firefox my xprint problem is solved completely. Be free to reassign this bug to mozilla/iceape, if the problem of the missing printers in mozilla lies there. Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#370747: xterm: option -sl has no effect
Hi Thomas I cannot reproduce this (testing with xterm 210-3 at the moment, but had looked at 210-2 as well). I have double checked this bug. It only appears if you have changed the default size of the scroll buffer in your ressources (e.g. xterm.vt100.saveLines: 100) and try to oversteer this with the command line option (-sl). Removing this setting from the ressources make the command line option work. So you may downgrade this bug to severity minor.

Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.2.1-12.1 Severity: normal Hi, xcalc has wrong or no symbols on some of it's buttons. The sqrt button has a wrong symbol (somewhat like a greek delta plus an equal sign with a tilde) and the division button has no symbol on it. I can send you a snapshot if you want. Maybe it's a font problem, so the sqrt symbol is wrong (could be avoided by using SQRT as button label). But this would not explain why the slash is missing on the division button.

Bug#220469: xserver-xfree86: dpkg-reconfigure should create the config file if it doesn't exist
Hi Branden But if the config file doesn't exist dpkg-reconfigure should create a new one instead of refusing to write it: Why? dpkg works the same way. If you delete a conffile it will respect your (apparent) wishes. Ooops, that's new to me. If I change a config file I would expect dpkg to protect it, ok. But removing a config file and reconfiguring the package means give me a new one for me. I just have checked a few packages, which I remember asking for configuration during installation. Selection is probably not representative. I have moved away the config file and have reconfigured each package after this: ntpdate: config file will be recreated, previous configured values appears as defaults for config questions gpm: config file will be recreated, but old configuration values get lost (probably not handled by debconf?) exim:config file will be recreated, old configuration values also get lost Opinions seem to vary, even between Debian maintainers ;-). If you are playing around with different options or even different graphic cards and want to start from scratch with a new config file, save the pre-created one in a safe location, and move it back when you're done. Yes, of course I can do this. But first it doesn't make much sense to save a configuration which is already stored by debconf and second I mostly forget to save the file before changing it :-). It only was an idea to make life easier. Treat it as a wish as you already have done. There are much more important things to do like porting version 4.4 of XFree86 ;-). Cheers, Uwe
Bug#220469: xserver-xfree86: dpkg-reconfigure should create the config file if it doesn't exist
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-12.1 Severity: minor Hi, I like the idea protecting changes in the XF86Config-4 config file by a md5-sum. But if the config file doesn't exist dpkg-reconfigure should create a new one instead of refusing to write it: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 Note: not updating /etc/X11/XF86Config-4; file does not exist. If you are playing around with different options or even different graphic cards and want to start from scratch with a new config file you have to remove and reinstall the xserver-package (or at least with knowledge of package internals to recreate the md5-file). Removing the config file would be the much easier way. Uwe BTW: Getting the warning about a changed config file BEFORE going through all the config questions would be nice. But maybe the config mechanism doesn't have the ability to distinguish between the package installation and a run of dpkg-reconfigure? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux coruba 2.4.21 #1 Sun Jun 15 03:15:21 CEST 2003 i686 Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf 1.3.15 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2-9GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common4.2.1-12.1 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g1:1.1.4-16 compression library - runtime
Bug#220493: Want a more recent version of the XFree86-server
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-12.1 Severity: wishlist Hi, in general I'm a friend of the somewhat conservative strategie of the Debian project, but ... The XFree86 project is going to release version 4.4 of it's server in about a month. The Debian testing and unstable tree still contains only version 4.2.1 of this server which has been made obsolete by the release of the follow-up version (4.3) more than 8 months ago! Even this old Debian 4.2.1-version declares itself as a pre-release version, but this is another topic: This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way ... I don't know the reason but IMHO ignoring a new stable release of a that much hardware related program for more than 8 months is a bit too much. Version 4.3 should have been gone into testing long ago. Even in the experimental tree I could only find a pre-4.3-version of the xserver-xfree86 package. Or is this in reality a pre-4.4-version, which would be a glimmer of hope for the future?
