Evolution on Squeeze has Send/Receive button disabled
I have bought recently new AMD64-capable PC with G45 chipset and installed the corresponding build of Lenny on it. I succeeded in compiling and installing the X driver for the video, but I could not start the analog audio, so I upgraded to Squeeze, which brought amongst other things new alsa package. Analog sound works ok now (I cannot tell about the digital) and overall everything looks ok, but evolution cannot send and receive mail from neither of my two configured POP3 accounts, because Send/Receive button is plain disabled. At start the checking of mail does not occur and it seems that some errors appear in the status bar but they disappear too quickly and I cannot read them. When started from the console, only two non-relevant rows of output appear: ** (evolution:4597): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:4597): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution I'm not sure if this is result of the new Evolution installed, so I'd like some inputs before start asking in other more development / testing mailing lists.

Re: Evolution on Squeeze has Send/Receive button disabled
I'm growing old and impatient. Years ago I'd wait a several days in which I'd dissect the problem. It appears that I have somehow activated offline mode. That's why evolution would not let me push Send/Receive button.

create and share torrent with transmission bittorrent client
Greetings, Is there some howto or walktrough about how to create and share .torrent files with transmission client. Some direct help would be even better. I have some big files (to which I legally own the copyright, btw) I wanted to share. I did the following: 1. I put the files in a folder on my web server's root (so they would be accessible via http too). 2. I made a .torrent file with Transmission 3 When asked about torrent tracker I entered http://thepiratebay.org/ (otherwise It wouldn't continue) 4. The resulting torrent file was on my www root. 5. Added the file to transmission and set the folder to www root. Transmission showed it as downloaded and began seeding. At this time I asked a friend to check if the file is accessible. It wasn't. Should I upload something on the piratebay to get it working? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

checking integrity of already written CD/DVD

More complex: Is there a way to check a written DVD against the checksum of the iso image written on it?

Only if you use the same architecture and distribution. I have machine which says 10 Jan 2009 and I have a machine which says 13 Mar. The both machines are P4 with 686 kernels. Looks like the one with the older kernel does not have security updates enabled, or you have not rebooted since the kernel update. How do the respective /etc/apt/sources.list files look?

[long] UML hangs
Greetings, I'm experimenting with UML on Debian 5.0. In the virtual machine I run debian 5.0 too. I managed to get it to work. Well, sort of, because after 1-2 minutes after I log on with ssh, the whole virtual machine hangs. I need help. I have appended some details below.

difficulties with otpw and sshd
Greetings, I need help with otpw pam module and sshd. In a previous post I asked for one-time password PAM module for debian, and I was directed to optw package and a howto: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/otpw.html I found optw-bin package in Lenny (via aptitude) and installed it. Next I changed /etc/pam.d/sshd so it contains only these two rows: auth required pam_otpw.so sessionoptional pam_otpw.so and generated a .otpw file in the home directory of my user. But still It didn't worked. When I tried to log on via ssh client It asked me for the password, just as when I'm using pam_unix.so (without giving me the number of the one-time password). After the unsuccessful login, I read In the /var/log/auth.log something in the sense that pam_otpw.so found my password to be wrong. My best guess is that sshd somehow asks me for the password without calling on pam at all and then throws what it expects to be normal password to pam_otpw, which on its turn says the password is wrong. The sshd options mentioned in the OTPW howto solving that very problem do not appear in the man page nor in the sample configuration file of sshd. Moreover sshd says that RSAAuthenticationViaKbdInt is depreciated. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

mythtv on debian 5.0 (etch)
Greetings, It seems that there is no default package for mythtv in Debian 5.0, so I have some questions to ask. 1. Which one of the unofficial mythtv packages should I choose (and how to insure that it won't compromise my system)? 2. Is there any up-to-date manual about setting up mythtv and video capture devices in general? 3. Is there some other software (other than Zapping and Xawtv, which seem to fail badly even on start)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
