Failed to open the X11 display!
Hello everyone, From my workstation (Ubuntu 10.04.2), I try to start an application running on my server but this application requires X Window System. My server does not have a GUI. So I did ssh -X ip_address_of_server. The server is Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). When I start the application and then I have Failed to open the X11 display! . I use to do it on other system without problem. What is missing here? Any cue will be appreciated. Thanks, Bernard
Re: Failed to open the X11 display!
I compared the sshd_config files from two servers, one from which I can start an application requiring a GUI and the one from my problematic server. Both are identical. I am even more puzzled now as I would expect at least one diffirence.

parsing problem
Hi, I have long strings to parse which have permanent and variable information. Somewhere in the strings we have something like Handle: 0x12a7 . Handle is permanent and 0x12a7 is variable. I wish to be able to extract the variable part (0x12a7) and assign it to a variable. Does anyone have an idea how to extract this information? I think awk might be the tool to use but I not too good at it yet. Thanks, Bernard
Re: parsing problem
Wonderful Works like a charm. A few year ago I used Perl a lot but I lost my hand at it. Your idea of Perl helped me to fix another problem with the same file: non-breaking space. Perl and \xA0 fixed it for me.

amd64 does net detect my wired and wireless nic at installation
Hello everyone, When I try to install amd64 (Debian 5.05) on my new laptop, a Lenovo x201 tablet. I wish to use amd64 because I have 8GB for RAM and I think 64-bit is now the way to go. The installer does not detect neither my wired or wireless NIC. The installer gives me a list of network adapter drivers, I select the the appropriate drivers but it keeps saying it cannot find the network hardware. I tried Ubuntu amd64 and it was succesful but I would prefer to go with Debian. Someone has a clue on this problem? thanks, Bernard

You could also check the hardware support situation at: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ Debian provides stable installers with newer kernels at: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ which you might want to use in order to solve your problem.

If I remember correctly (it has been a while) you need to declare the user table like “update mysql.user set….” And not just “update user set…” That may be the problem if it is trying to update the wrong table/database. 2) Maybe this is one of those multiple-ways-of-completing-the-same-task kind of scenarios but I reset passwords like so: SET PASSWORD FOR r...@localhost=password('MyNewPassword'); I don’t seem to have problems with it. Other then the password reset, your methods seem right to me as long as you are on the localhost. Hope this helps. Have fun! ~Stack~

I still have: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Any idea or clues about how to solve this issue? Thanks, Bernard Two methods on the same topic. 1) What database are you using when you login? If I remember correctly (it has been a while) you need to declare the user table like “update mysql.user set….” And not just “update user set…” That may be the problem if it is trying to update the wrong table/database. 2) Maybe this is one of those multiple-ways-of-completing-the-same-task kind of scenarios but I reset passwords like so: SET PASSWORD FOR r...@localhost=password('MyNewPassword'); I don’t seem to have problems with it. Other then the password reset, your methods seem right to me as long as you are on the localhost. Hope this helps. Have fun! ~Stack~
how to change /media/disk to /media/usbdisk
Hello, I use Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon with Gnome. When I insert a USB stick it is automatically mounted on /media/disk. I need to have it mounted as /media/usbdisk. How can I change this behavior? As far as I know gnome-volume-manager is responsible to mount it but I can't find a relation to /media/disk. Thanks in advance for your help, Bernard -- Bernard

keyboard preference freezing gnome
Hello, Since an upgrade a little while ago, everytime I try to make a modification in the keyboard preferences, gnome freezes. So far, I have no clue why and I have to constantly change my keyboard layout to switch between English and French for my work. There is only one thing I have found and is probably not a big discovery. Before I could log back with my user, I have to go remove the file %gconf.xml in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd. My system is Debian Etch. Does someone know why and how to fix it?

Re: ERP accounting software

It would be for a small to medium business. TIA, Bernard I've begin experimenting with sql-ledger. It is very flexible and powerul. Consqeuntly, it will probably take a good bit of tweaking and configuring to get it how you like. One big advantage is that everything is done through a web interface and the permission system is very fine grained. So, for example, you can have users that can only view certain accounts, others who can view all accounts, and yet others that can view all and only modify some accounts. On the down side, the documentation is not free, and if you want it you must be prepared to pay the author for it. As far as ERP, I have experimented briefly with crm-ctt (not packaged for Debian). The interface is very nice and looks very professional. However, it only works with MySQL.
