Hi,
"apt-get update" should do the trick and do not forget to add the Debian
FTP-Server (or any mirror nearby) to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Hi,
Here's the deal: I installed magicdev on my Debian unstable, GNome 2.2
and set it up so that everytime I put in a CD, it should automount and
start the file manager to display its contents.
And to my surprise, it's working just fine - with my CD-RW. I have two

Yes, starting 09/19 I have received 9421 (nine thousand four hundred
twenty one) W32/Gibe-F aka Swen messages. I guess that qualifies as
"unusual traffic", doesn't it? ;)

Hi,
I don't know about XFree 4.2 but there is a XFree 4.3 backport. You can
find the information (amnong lots of other backports) here:
http://www.debianforum.de/wiki/WoodyBackports
I would recommend to install the nvidia drivers too, they're faster than
the XFree4 nv drivers.

IIRC VirtualPC emulates a PCI video card, namely some old S3 Trio64. But
I am not sure about this, I have only used VirtualPC once on my

Mandrake nor Redhat are compatible to the VirtualPC-emulated hardware. I

Hi,
Make sure you have the partition in your /etc/fstab, it has to look
something like this:

"mount /data"
as normal user in terminal/shell. Note that you're not supposed to type

Hi,
First of all, you wanna try ALSA for your soundcard. Download the
packages alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils from alsa-project.org.
Compile them, install them and then load the module. AFAIK, the proper
module for the Audigy soundcards is either emu10k or snd-emu10k.

You can easily upgrade single packages - if you would've read the

Hi,
Since this is an IDE-drive we're talking about all you need to do is
enable the UDMA modus for that harddrive. You need to run - with root

You should however first test your harddrive so you can see the

Hi,
This should be possible via APM or ACPI. In the latter case make sure
you have flashed the latest BIOS and have enabled ACPI in BIOS setup. In
the first case, make sure you have enabled APM in BIOS setup.
In any case, you may have to recompile the kernel to enable ACPI and/or
APM.

There are two reasons why the module is not loading:
First of all, it's named "usb-uhci" not "uhci" hence the right command
is
"modprobe usb-uhci"
which you'll have to execute with root privileges. However if you're
running the stock Debian Woody installation, you have Kernel 2.2 which

Hi,
The current ALSA-drivers are only for Kernel 2.4 and the first 2.5
releases, won't work with 2.6.x. Starting 2.5.something, ALSA is
included in the Kernel source and you do not need to download and
install it anymore.

Redhat has somehow managed to allow any user to shut the computer down
from the GNome logout menu. Usually, that only appears in case you're

Have you tried "apt-get -f install"? If so, what did that return, any

It seems that the script is missing some directory in /usr/lib.

Hi,
It seems like your X-Server isn't installed at all. Try
"apt-get install xserver-xfree86"
That should do the trick. Afterwards you may have to edit the

Uh... I think you got that wrong. Isn't SMTP just for delivering/sending
