Sounds like probably an encoding problem. What character set does aterm expect to be using? UTF-8? Most manpages assume ISO-8859-1, I believe.

[vox-tech] Funny characters in aterm on kubuntu
Hi all, I'm running Kubuntu breezy. I've installed aterm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aterm -V aterm version 0.4.2 When I use "man" or "perldoc" I get funny characters in the output. Most (99%) of the output is normal but ever so often there is a funny character embedded in the output. It seems like it happens mostly (but not exclusively) at the end of a line. Regular xterm outputs perfectly. Can anyone suggest some things to try to fix this? Thanks Jay ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

[vox-tech] mutt - filter by month
Hi all, When viewing messages of an inbox, how can I get mutt to filter by month/year i.e. display only email from November 2005. Actually, the overall problem is that I have an inbox with email that I've sent in Nov 2005, Dec 2005, and Jan 2006. I'd like to separate out all email sent in Nov 2005 and put them in their own file. My plan was to only display November 2005 email, tag them, and then use save-tag. Thanks, Pete ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I think this relies on using fdisk to configure the Linux partion that you have installed grub on as the one which the standard MBR code should load the operating system from. The standard MBR code then loads part one of the GRUB or LILO boot code from the partition, as though it were loading the Windows boot code from there. The main differences are that Windows anti-virus programs don't freak out about the MBR being nonstandard and the boot process takes a few milliseconds longer. I don't remember having such problems with altered MBRs, but I haven't done much dual booting in awhile, either. Thanks for the info. Last I checked none of my dual-boots have had problems with the standard grub install. The only problem I ever had like that was an old motherboard that thought grub was a boot sector virus, but that was chip based antivirus, not software. - Alex ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I would think you should be getting pretty familiar with it by now, too. You'd think. I've done many installs, including several dual-boot installs, and have yet to destroy a system. I did once wipe a computer's MBR by deciding to make it a pure Windows system and remove Debian. Nevertheless, I get paranoid. Now that I think about it, I suppose that installing Kubuntu probably won't touch the MBR at all, just alter GRUB. Am I right? Thats my thinking, just tell kubuntu to use the partition where FC is and it should take care of the rest, then when it asks if you want grub installed opt-out. Worse case scenario kubuntu won't be in the grub menu, but if that happens just use a boot disk and go in and edit the grub file. I think you'll get another choice though, an option to add to grub though if I remember my ubuntu installs. - Alex ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
