Letras grandes en helix-gnome sonido
Buenas!! Por fin he conseguido configurar mi ADSL!!gracias a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bueno, ahora tengo dos problemillas, el primero es que me instale Helix-Gnome del CD 1.0 de La Espiral, pero las letras o fuentes o como se quiera decir, son enormes!he intentado configurar por ahi algunas cosillas, pero es que no encuentro nada para que las fuentes sean mas pequeñas...porque cada ventana me ocupa dos veces el monitor... Y el otro problema es que configure la tarjeta de sonido con alsaconf, seleccione mi tarjeta, ya tenia los modulos intalados, y puse una cancion en el XMMS y lo que ocurre es que hasta que no acaba la cancion se bloquea todo y no va nada! despues cuando acaba la cancion ya vuelve a ir todo...pense que podria ser por el XMMS pero con el FreeAmp tambien paso... podria ser porque en alsaconf en las 4 ventanas de configuracion puse 128 en los valores que me pedia? Siento preguntar tanto... muchas gracias :) Saludetes
Helix Gnome
I have a Libranet(1.82) cd and I wish to use the Helix gnome packages in it. I noticed that it is for woody ( or what I see in the directory structure). I tried one package to see if it will work. I tried grip and it needs libgtk... ( that's all I remember) anyway, I have this 1.2.0 while it says it needs 1.2-helix. I tried to force it into installing but It failed. Is it possible to install the packages from helix into my Potato system? if yes -how? Aldous

Re: helix-gnome para potato en woody
BUENOS DIAS!!! Y entonces, va Bladecoder y dice ¿helix-gnome para potato en woody? Hola, He visto en la web de helix que no dan soporte para woody e invitan a los usuarios de woody a que usen los paquetes para potato. Alguien lo ha hecho?? Da problemas instalar los paquetes de potato de helix (en el sources cambiar woody por stable) en una woody??? Puede que gnomeprint y los paquetes asociados te den problemas, por que los de woody son una version superior, pero ximian necesita los suyos, yo lo solucione desde el dselect diciendole que mantenga los packetes (tecla =) no se como hacer lo mismo con apt. aparte de eso funciona bastante bien. -- Mi ordenador portatil tiene una autonomía de 6 horas.

Se ve que el servidor de helix-gnome debe estar recargado (aunque ya hay
4-5 mirrors repartidos por el globo) y no logras bajar el archivo

Por lo tanto, despues de estar varios días y nada, decidí bajarlo a la
ximian, es decir, con el instalador go-gnome. En la página de ximian te
vienen las instrucciones. Además es bastante facil.

If you are running unstable (sid), you should not be running Ximian's Gnome. Purge their packages (they have ximian or helix in their version) and use Debian's. Since I've been running sid and Ximian's Gnome packages, until I did an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday, I saw no problems. Then, I ran into a similar problem as the original poster -- there was a debian package newer than the ximian one and it caused a brief headache. Why exactly shouldn't you mix the two ??

newbie fighting with Helix Gnome
I'm new to Linux and even newer to Debian. I am running woody, and today (15th) I did an apt-get upgrade that's messed up Gnome. I was running Helix Gnome, although I did plan to remove it and go back to plain Gnome...whatever the update did today it seems to have replaced parts of Helix Gnome with newer standard Gnome components and completely messed up my dependancies. apt-get upgrade failed with the text pasted below:- Unpacking oaf (from .../archives/oaf_0.6.5-5_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/oaf_0.6.5-5_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/oafd', which is also in package liboaf0 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Preparing to replace gnome-panel-data 1.2.4-helix2 (using .../gnome-panel-data_1.4.0.2-1_all.deb) ...

I (mostly) eliminated Ximian today, and, yes, there is a package or two that you'll miss with the complete ximian. Sorry to hear that Simon's upgrade messed up. I actually did an apt-get dist-upgrade today, and it was very helpful in purging Ximian. It seems that a bunch of new 1.4 core packages made it into testing today, which upgraded from Ximian reasonably cleanly (it just took a couple of go-arounds with -f to make it work). Then, it was just a matter of manually replacing the rest of the Ximian packages. In most cases, apt-get --purge remove followed by apt-get install did the trick, but, if dependencies got in the way, I downloaded the deb's and dpkg -i'ed them (this would have definately been simplified by a --force-downgrade in apt-get...). Most of those went to equal versions, but a few (mostly the games) seemed to be downgrades. Oh well. I can't personally see much difference between gnome-xbill 1.2 and 1.0 g. As was pointed out in a previous thread, there are some useful gnome and gnome-related packages that have not yet made it into testing. For those packages, I kept the Ximian versions. Those packages include: abiword eog gnome-applets sawfish sawfish-gnome I also kept the necessary Ximian dependancies for those packages: libgnomeprint11 librep9 rep rep-doc rep-gtk rep-gtk-gnome I suppose that it would have been possible to eliminate these 11 packages, and replace them with versions from unstable, but then you start getting into bonobo dependancies...eek! I'm trying to keep my box a fairly clean testing installation, though I have installed a few packages from unstable. It's so hard to resist when it works so easily, but I decided to stay with the devil I know, in this case. So, those Ximian packages stay on, I've got local copies of them, and I no longer have spidermonkey.ximian.com in my sources.list. Oh, I also kept a few of the pretty theme packages that Ximian is so keen on (HeliX is still, by far, my favourite Sawfish theme g): sawfish-themes gtk-themes helix-sweetpill Anyways, it all seems to be working together quite nicely.

Instale helix-gnome y este requiere depende de gdm el cual no estoy interesado en instalar es posible instalar helix-gnome sin gdm? o es posible luego de instalar helix hacer un borrado por la fuerza de gdm? Claro que es posible instalar helix-gnome sin gdm. Supongo que has mirado task-helix-gnome y que este incluye gdm. Basta con que en lugar de instalar task-helix-gnome instales manualmente todos los demás paquetes de los que depende, exceptuando gdm. También puedes instalar todo y luego hacer `apt-get remove gdm`. Eso de borrado por la fuerza suena muy mal :-) Un saludo, Jon tambien puede decirle apt-get install xdm y el automaticamente instalar xdm y borra gdm sin hacer nada a la fuerza

Actualion de Gnome a Helix-Gnome de paquetes de La Espiral
Hola He actualizado a Helix Gnome con los paquetes de La Espiral, con la linea de apt que hace poco comentaba Jaime Villate que ya estaba disponible. Al hacer el apt-get upgrade se han actualizado un monton (unos 17 MB), pero 10 paquetes se han quedado keep-back (entre ellos gnome-session, control-panel, y algunos mas). Como en dselect no veía nada raro, he marcado task-gnome-desktop y se me han seleccionado un monton más, claro, pero ya no ha quedado ningun paquete en keept-back ¿que es eso del keep-back? Al hacer un apt-get upgrade, si se acualiza un paquete que tiene dependencias nuevas de otro ¿no lo instala automaticamente? Para terminar, cuando salgan más versiones de Debian, ¿como afecta eso a las versiones de gnome que he montado de La Espiral? ¿Serán actualizadas por las de Debian, serán dejadas como local y tendré que actualizar a mano? Gracias y saludos. -- Andres Seco Hernandez, MCP ID 445900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ctv.es/USERS/andressh GnuPG public information: pub 1024D/3A48C934 E61C 08A9 EBC8 12E4 F363 E359 EDAC BE0B 3A48 C934 -- Alamin GSM SMS Gateway - http://alamin.sourceforge.net Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org pgp1mgifZrSFo.pgp Description: PGP signature

Switching between KDE Helix-Gnome
Hello! How can I switch between KDE and Helix-Gnome when both are installed on the system? Unfortunately, I can not install gdm and kdm at the same time, so I'm not sure what to do. One solution might be to do without an X display manager entirely, but then I'm not sure whether I can still get the same Helix-Gnome session as before. A better solution would perhaps be to provide alternatives named x-display-manager and x-desktop-environment that would enable one to conveniently switch between both environments and still getting the display manager determined for each environment, so that there is a consistent lookfeel. That is, it would be nice if one could say update-alternatives --config x-desktop-environment and then, depending on the user's choice, x-display-manager would be set to either kdm or gdm. However, I'm not sure whether this can be done and whether this mailing list is the appropriate place for such suggestions (probably not, so I apologize). Anyway, thanks for taking your time. A Happy New Year to all Debian users around the world! Greetings, Holger

What script do I have to execute for starting Helix Gnome? No, not at all. That will work, of course. It will even work if you use a display manager. What I am saying is that both KDM and GDM provide a menu with which you can choose a session to run when you log in. Which display manager are you using? If you're using gdm, here's how to set things up: Create a script in /etc/X11/gdm called KDE. That script needs to contain nothing but the following #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/kde2 ## end of script. Don't forget to chmod +x the script. Now, when you log out, if you look at the sessions menu in gdm you'll see an option for KDE. If you select that option and log in, you'll be running KDE. If you leave the menu alone, you'll go to whatever you'd previously been using. All this stuff works system-wide. Using the same method you can easily create a session script for whatever window managers you have installed and easily switch between them when logging in. Doing this with KDM is, I'm sure, very similar. I can't give you specifics, though, as I don't use it.

Try KDM, to add a session you just go as root to the appropriate dialog in kcontrol [System Login manager Sessions tab]. The session name is the name of the bash command you would use to invoke the window manager in question. Thus add xfce if you want to run xfce, icewm if you want to run icewm, and gnome-session for a gnome session. YMMV.

When I click on any of the sawfish configuration options, the left pane displays nothing, and eventually, the entire app freezes and has to be killed.

helix gnome vs. woody gnome
About a month ago when installing a new system, I tried installing the Gnome that comes with Woody (I've been using Helix Gnome on other systems). I saw some strange behavior, but perhaps it was because I didn't have a lot of suggested packages installed at the time. And, although a trivial thing, the login pics were much better looking in the Helix packages. Anyway, I thought maybe I should go back to the Debian packages as I assume they conform more to Debian standards. My question is to those that have used both, will I be missing anything if I go back to the Debian packages? Are they as stable? Is there any strange behavior? Do they contain as many programs as are available in the Helix packages? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks, Gerry

Re: Helix-Gnome not installable
Since the problem is a conflict between Helix and Debian versions of some libraries, perhaps you can temporarily comment out the Debian lines in your sources.list, do an apt-get update and then try apt-get install task-helix-gnome. Don´t forget to fix your sources.list afterwards or you won´t be able to keep your Woody current on an hourly basis! Also, you might need to avoid installing the Debian versions afterwards, just by being careful with apt-get upgrade. Another possibility, which I normally use, is to just wait for the Helix guys to catch up. (and they used to say that Debian was slow to provide current versions of packages).

The upshot of this is that you don't actually need to add anything to your sources.list. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.

Re: Can't install Helix Gnome
Sounds like someone disobeyed the XFree86 maintainer when he said not to build packages against the beta packages of XFree86 4. They are on www.debian.org/~branden if you are willing to upgrade. If you don't want to upgrade, you can just try and get the stuff you need for gnome manually.

Helix GNOME and Debian GNOME incompatible
Hi folks, hi Peter, I just had sawfish malfunction in a strange way: I've bound M-F10 to Popup Window Menu. But that suddenly stopped working... and worse, even clicking into the window icon for the popup window did nothing. So I investigated... reinstalling a couple things. And, this morning, I found it: there were updated packages for the Debian version of the rep lisp interpreter which sawfish is built on. Now I had rep from Debian and sawfish from helix (the Debian upgrade is not installable yet). I removed all sawfish and rep packages, and installed the helix versions only... and everything's back to normal. HTHS, Bye, J PS: Peter, could you get the name change of the Helix packages done some time soon? Would have avoided this... PPS: Another thing that failed was when clicking on any sawfish item in the GNOME CC the capplet hung (using up all CPU it got). PPPS: More details on request... -- Jürgen A.
