Well... Now after reboot middle mouse emulation is enabled again: |xinput list-props 8 (my mouse ID) libinput Middle Emulation Enabled (291): 1| While the next string from the output says:

Hello, guys! I'm running stable Stretch 64-bit and yesterday I upgraded MATE from 1.16 to 1.20 (from backports): |sudo apt install -t stretch-backports mate-desktop-environment-extras| I'm experiencing an issue with my mouse b

Debian unstable Bug - after dist-upgrade (CUPS removed my Canon Printer drivers)

Debian unstable Bug - after dist-upgrade (CUPS removed my Canon Printer drivers)

After an upgrade yesterday CUPS removed my network Canon i-SENSYS MF4120 official printer drivers ('cndrvcups-common_2.00-2_i386' и 'cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_2.00-2_i386'): Selecting previously deselected package cndrvcups-common. (Reading database ... 181386 files and directories currently installed

Bug after unstable upgrade

Yesterday, after within an upgrade I issued also 'dist-upgrade' and it upgraded 'cups' package. I'm also using Canon i-SENSYS MF4120 multifunctional printer/scanner, so I had drivers from the official Canon site installed ('cndrvcups-common_2.00-2_i386' and 'cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_2.00-2_i386'). Bu

Re: Why doesn't alt-x in Emacs doesn't work?

The way emacs sets up the meta key is somewhat a mystery to me. Here is the output on my machine from `xmodmap': xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lockCaps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25),

Re: apt-get & byte compile problem

What packages are we talking about? (You can use `dpkg -S' to match a particular file to its package). Some of the larger emacs packages has the .el files in separate packages in order not to needlessly swamp the system. This includes emacs itself. ---+--

Re: Who builds YOUR binary RPMs?

I think there is a rather simple reason why .rpms are everywhere but .debs isn't. The rpm based distributions are so much smaller that important functionality is missing, thus forcing many people to go and build rpms for their favourite software. Since debian is so big, there is very little softwa

Re: Configuration management

I have been toying with the same idea (putting stuf like /etc) under CVS control, though I haven't gotten round to become serious about it yet. My idea towards handling individual machine specifics would be to use the branch system. If a certain file needed a specific change, branch off (on that f

I am no expert on X11 ressources, but here is a few ideas. Beware that this is based on a mental image I have built for myself which may have anywhere between 0 and 100 % resemblance to reality. First note that X11 distinguishes between an applications *class* and its *name*. So you could try wri

ISDN modem problems

I have just got myself an ISDN line and a Zyxel Omni.net plus modem, but I have problems in getting it to work smoothly. The problem is that I keep getting error messages saying something to the effect of: ppp: frame with bad fcs, excess = 4de9 The more trafic (for instance with ping) I gene
