Hi Debianistas,
I recall stumbling upon a program in the Debian archive which was a simple
GUI - a customisable row of buttons and text-boxes - and which could be
hooked up to any script, as a shortcut to actually writing a gui (which i
can't do).
It would be perfect for a Python program I wan

Hi,
Just to share a problem - and its solution - that I'm surprised doesn't happen
more often with Testing:
Did a dist-upgrade yesterday using adept (frontend for aptitude), previewing
the changes first to check for breakages. After the upgrade libc6 (and three
other related packages) were bro

Hi list,
A small annoyance: for a few months now, my etch box stops booting at a
particular point, whereupon I must hit return, and it then completes. I am
not entirely sure, but I think that the last change I made was to install
insserv, the parallel booting service.

Agreed, except that as of 2.6.18, this does not work anymore (for me at
least).

I have some GPG-encrypted files (using the Kgpg front-end) on one box, which I

Hi,
Trying to debug a failure to recreate the event devices needed for a laptop

Hi,
Further to my earlier post "Mouse devices gone after suspend-to-ram" a couple
of days ago, I'm trying the tack of writing a udev rule to create the missing
device after a suspend. In local.rules I have:
BUS=="serio", SYSFS{protocol}=="SynPS/2", SYSFS{description}=="i8042 Aux-3
Port", NAME=
Hi,
After upgrading to a 2.6.16 etch kernel on a whitebox Centrino, S3 suspend (to
ram) is almost working using the hibernate script.
On resume, however I find that the devices for my touchpad have not been
created, so it doesn't function.

Last few days, when I try to do apt-get update on my Etch laptop, it fails

When shutting down my etch laptop of late, it stops just short of power-off

then have to power-off manually.

The file that controls this is /etc/apt/sources.list. You can edit it by hand
