Hello:
I just got a ThinkPad 61p, and was pretty sure I was finally going to
have to let WordPerfect 8 (the UN*X-native WP) go. But I have it up
and running. How I did it is described at
http://pwiseman.dnsalias.com/~pwiseman/wp8install64.html. I also
provide a tar.gz of the libraries and other
And, if so, how bad? I have installed Kompozer (the successor to
Nvu), but the Debian package is a 32-bit package. I forced it to
install anyway, and it seems to run just fine, although launching it

Provocative question, I realize.
But here's why I ask:
totem-gstreamer could not handle DVD's with menus, no matter what
plugins I added, it just played the first track. So, I switched to
totem-xine, and it handled them perfectly.
Rhythmbox (based on gstreamer) could not handle wrfg.org/listen.

I just updated my testing system, and NetworkManager seems busted.
The applet can find no network connections, but my eth0 connects.

Hello, all:
After my usual daily update of my testing system this morning, which
updated only acroread and related stuff, acroread and the browser
plugin were broken. It turns out /etc/alternatives/acroread was
pointing to the wrong place after the upgrade. These two commands
will fix it:
rm /e

Every now and then, I have an apparently memory-leaking ld-linux.so.2
process running. When I kill it, nothing else seems adversely
affected. Is there some way I can identify what's spawned it?
