I run Potato, which installs with glib 1.2. I notice that recently made applications require newer glibs, such as glib 2.x Is it possible to update the glib version on Potato, or must I update my entire operating system? If an update is available in Potato, would doing so screw up utilities

You could install the xscreensaver package (if I'm understanding your dilemma correctly). This package allows you to have a screensaver lock the screen with a password protect. Yet things already running will keep running. --- Gabor Gludovatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED

find utility gives segmentation fault

2002-06-28 Thread Larry Smith
I've been having trouble with the find utility in Potato. Often, if I run find as root (so I can have permission to look in all directories), it will run awhile, then die with a segmentation fault. When this happens, I'm unable to do a normal shutdown, the system hangs during shutdown. I use

abiword question

I think it works out well the way Debian presents it. Individuals are free to install the 2.4 version, and in so doing help to stablize it. I would think that business would likely run the stable version, to minimize chances of failure. --- Reid Gilman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think Debian

I'd think that in a shell script, you could use sleep instead, unlikely that you need better resolution than that. Should you, usleep is availabe in the c library and you would write a small routine that called it, and refer to it in a script. --- Hans Bausewein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
