Lenny and testing and testing and apt

2008-09-23 Thread Vidyadhar Gadgil
A few days ago I installed Debian Lenny, i.e., current testing, on my system replacing stable. It was a fresh install, not an upgrade. Everything is functioning fine. But when I try to run netselect-apt to find the fastest mirror, I get: "netselect was unable to find a mirror, this probably means

xhosts problem

Logged in as one user, I often need to check mail of other users (I use Evolution). In Fedora Core 5, which I used earlier, I would just log in through a terminal and open Evolution for that user in that same terminal without any problems. Could not do this in debian etch 4.0 (to which I recently s

Recently some kernel update for debian etch appeared, which I duly installed. In Fedora, when this used to be done, the grub entry would get automatically updated. But here it does not seem to have happened, the entry is the same as the original one. apt-get shows both the linux-images installed. S

Problem with xmms on debian etch 4.0 stable

With XMMS 1:1.2.10+20061 installed on debian etch 4.0 stable, the menu display does not show up properly after right-clicking, the items cannot be read. I don't think this is a problem with xmms per se, probably with gtk? Anyway, I am not sure, but a similar problem happened on a friend's system, s
