Default font in URXVT
I want the default font of urxvt to be xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=17 (which works fine when I pass that to the -fn argument). I put the line URxvt*font: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=17 in ~/.Xdefaults as suggested from other resources online but doesn't seem to work.

Matlab performance on Linux vs Windows
Hi, I hope my question is not too off topic here since Debian is a popular choice in scientific computing lab and therefore hopefully someone will have experience with Matlab running on it. Also since I am considering getting Matlab 7.0 on my Debian home machine so probably this is the right group to ask in. My question is about the Performance of Matlab running on Linux vs on Windows. I have seen Matlab 6.5 running on Linux *twice* as slow as on Windows, e.g a 30 minute routine runs on Matlab 6.5 Windows take an hour or more on Matlab 6.5 Linux (same machine specs of course) What's your experience ? how is the performance of Matlab 7.0 on Linux vs Windows ?

Re: Icon bug in Nautilus (SARGE) still not fixed ?
Pau Capdevila wrote: Yes it is fixed. But when you launch nautilus out of a gnome-session nautilus misses something that by now I don't know what it is. It happens as well when you launch nautilus from xfce4 or when you have a gnome session opened and you open another one by VNC or NX. So it is still a bug similar to the previous one although not as severed. It's not completely fixed. I don't use the Gnome environment, I just use some of its apps, including Nautilus. I found a work around, that is start gnome-setting-daemon before entering wmaker. That will fix the problem but the fonts setting (e.g size) are now followed the gnome-settings that are set via gnome-control-panel, no longer default gtk.

Hello, I have problem with connecting to the samba server on my Debian box from a WinXP machine. I can connect to the samba server from all my other Linux box but I just can't connect to it from an XP machine. I can see the Debian Samba server listing in the XP's WorkGroup place. I got a message account not authorized to log in from this station when I try to connect. Is there any different setting in WinXP , some registry edit etc ? tia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ethernet connection drop while idle
my ethernet card drops its connection after some idle time, then come back when the computer is active again... how can I change this behavior in Linux (I don't want to reboot and go to the Bios and change this because I want to keep my uptime) ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Making /home not accessible by outsiders
Hello during the installation I choose yes when the installer ask if I want to make user directory accessible by other users (that was the default). Now I changed my mind, because even /root is readable by others ... is there a way to reverse what I have chosen ? reconfigure something ? Or may be a chmod command that would do the trick ? thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there anyway I can rebuild this file ? or uninstall or reinstall
some package that can rebuild it ?
Fetch the sysklogd package ('apt-cache show sysklogd | grep ^Filename:'
shows you the file you need to get from your local Debian mirror) and
install it with 'dpkg --force-confnew sysklogd_1.4.1-10_i386.deb' (or
whatever the filename is).
This will restore all sysklogd's conffiles to their defaults.
