Hi list,
Since I last upgraded my Lenny box, both xdm and gdm silently fail to
start at boot time.
Actually, something in each of their init scripts fails and they are
never actually called.
If I run /usr/sbin/gdm directly they both work fine.
I would file a bug report... but against which

Iceweasel _insists_ on asking me what I want to do with 'foo.scm' (save

Neither IE6 nor Firefox (in Windoze) ask me this question, they simply

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the suggestion. Now you mention it, it seems like the
obvious thing to do!
I'll give it a go.

Hi all,
Just recently started receiving the following error report every
morning:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code
Doh! The postrotate script is in /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server:
test -x /usr/bin/mysqladmin || exit 0
# If this fails, check debian.conf!
export HOME=/etc/mysql/my.cnf
MYADMIN=/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

I use a /etc/apt/preferences file to pick some packages from sid on my
lenny setup.
That's one of the things it's for ;-)
Is there a command to list the packages that comes from sid on my
system?
How about:
$ apt-show-versions | grep unstable
HTH,
This may be overkill, but you'll never look back if you overcome the
supposedly steep learing curve...

On a default Debian system are all run levels 2-5 setup exactly the
same making no difference to the run level you chose to run in?
Yes, pretty much, if not _exactly_ the same.
Simply compare the contents of:

Have you run apt-get update recently?
Of course.
If yes, you should use a different mirror. FWIW, I already have

Hmm. Interesting.
