The Debian Way to do this is to run dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and changing the "Enable bitmapped fonts by default" setting to Yes. Although I'm currently using debian unstable, which seems to have moved it from fontconfig to fontconfig-config. I suspect that future upgrades of fontconfig will revert that file to whatever setting debconf has (off by default), so it's probably worth running the dpkg-reconfigure anyway.

For the fontconfig configuration: Select Native if you mostly use Bitstream Vera (the default in Debian) or any of the Microsoft fonts. Select Autohinter if you mostly use other TrueType fonts. Select None if you want blurry text. That last bit is just classic.

[SLUG] How to build a kernel on debian (with modules enabled)
Hi Could anyone possible help me with the following problem :) Problem: I can't boot the kernel (2.6.15-1) with modules enabled (using DEBIAN) Reason: My ram disk boot image is not being recognised (not attached to an existing device). title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.15-1-Modules-enabled root(hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1 root=/dev/hda5 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img savedefault boot The initrd image is not attached to a legitimate device (ie) As I understand it the initrd.img should be attached to /dev/hda5 I have never conciously attached the ram disk image to a device, be it hda5 or what ever. HOW DO I DO THIS??? Where I am at: INITIAL CONDITIONS: I downloaded Debian from the web. It installed a kernel on my behalf. I got the config from which this kernel was built from /boot to build my kernel. 1) I have compiled 2.6.15-1 with modules enabled. COMPILES FINE. Copied bzImage to /boot as vmlinuz-2.6.15-1. 2) I have done make modules. MODULES COMPILES FINE. 3) I have done make modules_install. NO PROBLEMS 4) I ran a script mkinitrdramfs to create the image for the ram disk (WORKED) and copied it to /boot. When I try to boot the kernel, the kernel insists that hda5 does not exist. No reason why it should either. I simply copied the original grub entry (theoretically an identical kernel) and hoped for the best. How do associate my initrd.img with hda5 or whatever...

Once you've got your kernel config good to go, you can use the make-kpkg command in kernel-package to automate away all the boring bits, and hand you a .dpkg file you can just install. > 4) I ran a script mkinitrdramfs to create the image for the ram disk > (WORKED) > and copied it to /boot. Woah. What's this mkinitrdramfs script? Do you mean /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs, which is shipped in the initramfs-tools package? Is it a custom script? Also, how are you calling this script? Are you sure it's building an initrd using the modules for your new kernel, and not grabbing the ones for the kernel you're currently running?

[SLUG] Some events
Here are some events which I thought may appeal to SLUG members (it would be great if they could appear in the SLUG calendar :-)): ** The OpenSkills social evening will be held this Wednesday evening at the Cohi Bar from 18:30. It's a chance to network, get your key signed and to get OpenSkills to do the things you need it to do. It's also the last chance to pick up a 2006 DevCon pin! The social evening follows the committee meeting (the link has more details of the venue): http://wiki.openskills.org/OpenSkills/Agenda+for+Committee+meeting+38 ** There will be a Sydney Smalltalk User Group meeting this Friday at the ACS NSW offices in Sydney. The easiest place to get all the details is on the speakers blog: http://tinyurl.com/gz3eb ** There will be an ACS FOSS SIG meeting next Thursday (the 29th) by Del Elson about the Fedora directory services.

How did I miss that? Thanks dude. So my next question, what's the gnome-terminal equivalent for setting these xterm X resources: ! Uncomment this to use color for the bold attribute XTerm*VT100*colorBDMode: on XTerm*VT100*colorBD: DodgerBlue1 ! Uncomment this to use color for underline attribute XTerm.VT100*colorULMode: on XTerm.VT100*underLine: off XTerm*VT100*colorUL: red1 Which give me reds and blues for the titles of sections in manpages. I'd probably settle for having a better way to read manpages, but it would be better to have that change across the board.

I work for Gelato (I assume you are the former sys admin guy from NICTA). I work on page tables (I have Adam Wiggins GPT running under 2.6.17-rc5) on a clean page table interface (fed to linux-mm on May 30). At the moment I just get the default page table to be chosen at compile time from a config. But, one day (far off in time) it might be a nice idea to be able to put a page table into a module. Probably fantasy but there you go. At present I am just mucking around trying to build a kernel with modules manually on my home machine. > 1) I have compiled 2.6.15-1 with modules enabled.

Do you mean /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs, which is shipped in the initramfs-tools package? Is it a custom script? It is the custom script (not yaird or anything). It is the equivalent of mkinitrd that ships with red hat. Also, how are you calling this script? Are you sure it's building an initrd using the modules for your new kernel, and not grabbing the ones for the kernel you're currently running? I just execute it as root. It is grabbing the ones for the kernel I am running. Very early in boot. It claims it can't find modules.dep in the directory that it ought to be in.
