Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root?

The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should
expect a VMware window to pop up.

I would like to run Windows 7 or 8 in a virtual machine. Any way to
get it cheaply?

I suspect running it this way will require a desktop, I mean it is 
hardly likely to pop up something on a desktop that isn't there ;-)


Try reading the man page.

I should also point out that Windows 7 and 8 are both EOL.

[DNG] Fonts trouble on beowulf

2020-01-19 Thread Bernard Rosset via Dng
Having a setup running beowulf with an Xfce Desktop, and whatever theme 
I choose, I get white links on clear backgrounds.


In applications that support it (like evolution), if I drift away from 
system fonts and switch back to them, the links are black (and 
readable!) again.


This oddity also appear in another way when text is highlighted, which 
make it unreadable too.


I remember having such fonts problem when ascii came out, but I do not 
recall the fix. I remember some themes were eventually corrected though.


Any hints?

Hi again,

Here you are my first packaging attempt:

experimental-epoch_1.3.0

Download the sources and follow the steps bellow:

- Create your own gpg signature key.

- Create a folder named epoch and go into it.

- Generate an empty git repository and import the project using 
git-buildpackage:


    $ git init
    $ git config --global user.name "viverna"
    $ git config --global user.email "vive...@inventati.org"
    $ gpg import-orig ../epoch_1.3.0.tar.bz2

    Enter the name of the project and its version.

- Now yo can build the project:

    $ git-buildpackage -j4 -tc -k 
--git-export-dir="../build-area" --git-tag --git-ignore-branch


being  the public part of your gpg key.

Once you've built it, you can import the whole project using 
git-builtpackage again via:


$ gbp import-dsc ../epoch_1.3.0.dsc

As an exercise, you can include all the defined conditionals in the 
buildepoch.sh script (I *removed* this file!) in the Makefile by the 
following way:


ifeq ()
endif

https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Conditional-Example.html#Conditional-Example


I'll study this part in the next month.

You could fuse both projects in an unique source defining two separate 
packages in the control file, but they have different version numbers. 
Keep it in mind.

I do not think so.
epoch init-system change rarely, config file will be added in the 
project faster.



Cheers,

Aitor.

My short answer for now:

- Use lowercase letters for the debian folder. A DEBIAN folder with 
uppercase letters will be created within each generated packages.

"DEBIAN" uppercase is required from `dpkg-deb -b`: " Creates a debian
archive from the filesystem tree stored in binary-directory.
binary-directory must have a DEBIAN subdirectory, which contains the
control information files such as the control file itself."
I don't create package with Debian normal method documented, I don't
understand how make good package.


- Create a debian/rules file. This file is paramount, but it's missing!

I insert rules file. I will commit soon.


Hope this helps,

Aitor.
