I think what you are looking for is something like usb-mount:

  Yes, that is one of the alternatives I came across.
  I read on the net that it doesn't work on Debian. Did anyone try it?
 You did not read that page, did you?
 Any reason why it should NOT work with a Debian installation?

To be more precise:
 Here is a URL describing setting it up under Debian with udev
 http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/usb_storage_on_debian.html

This is a citation from the page (3rd paragraph).

dcop and NIS/NFS

2004-09-28 Thread Jan Albiez
Hello!

I have quite a strange problem with dcop. We are using kde 3.2 in a NIS/NFS
environment, and it runs quite smooth. But recently I started to write a
system script which tries to open a dcop connection to a user currently
logged in (as that user). Since this seems to be quite a common task I found
a lot of scripts doing this as well. 

They ll used a mechanism like
 dcop --user $user --list-sessions |grep DCOP |head -1
to get hold of the current session.

When I try this on my machine I get the following warning:

 [albiez] $dcop --user albiez --list-sessions
 WARNING: Cannot determine home directory for user albiez!
 Please check permissions or set the $DCOPSERVER variable manually before
 calling dcop.
 No active sessions

At first I was a bit astonished (where is the problem in finding my
home-dir), but after some fiddling around I found out that when I do
  [albiez] $dcop --all-users --list-sessions 

I get:
 WARNING: Cannot determine home directory for user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Please check permissions or set the $DCOPSERVER variable manually before
 calling dcop.
 WARNING: Cannot determine home directory for user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Please check permissions or set the $DCOPSERVER variable manually before
 calling dcop.
 WARNING: Cannot determine home directory for user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Please check permissions or set the $DCOPSERVER variable manually before
 calling dcop.

This looks like as if the dcop programm doesn't use the classical
libc-mechanism to parse and evaluate passwd! Otherwise the nis things would
have been transparent. Since I don't have the time to start reading the
sources of dcop, I would like to know if somebody else has the same problem.

This might not be an exclusive debian problem but since I am using
debian i386/testing I ask here first.

Bug#265264: kde-core: KIconLoader garbage (maybe upstream bug?)

2004-08-12 Thread Jan Albiez
Package: kde-core
Version: 4:3.1.2
Severity: normal

Whenever I start a KDE application I get a lot of errors in the
following form:
kdecore (KIconLoader): WARNING: Icon directory /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ group 
WWxHH/path

That means I have a lot of garbage in .xsession-errors or on a
konsole/xterm. A google search shows, that this is might be not debian
specific, but I think its better to have a bug report, so that people
kno its not a normal behaviour...

KDE and Xinerama

2002-02-05 Thread Jan Albiez
Hoi!

There have been several threads in the past about kde and xinerama, mostly
dealing with compiling kdelibs with xinerama support. Before I start
compiling new kdelibs for myself I just want to ask if somebody has done
this already for kdelibs3 2.2.2-5. And BTW how do I recognize, that the
xinerama support is working ?

 Why exec? Only startkde will do just fine. What is the advantage of the 
 often seen exec? There is not even a help text in the man page and it seems 
 a pretty useless command in a shell (and the above has a shell).

directly from the builtins man page:
(...)
 exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments]]
  If command is specified, it replaces the shell.  No
  new process is created.
(...)

That means, the shell calling .xsession will be replaced by startkde, which
means, that you will have a shell less idling around in your process table.

Standard vertical maximazation

2001-03-06 Thread Jan Albiez
Jo !

I miss the button for only vertical maximazation in the windows
action menu in the kde-control center. In kde 2.0.1 it was grayed out all
the time, and now its gone completely, strange thing about it is, that you
still can assign a keboard shortcut to it ! 
I really like that feature ... what happened ?
I'am using the kde 2.1 packages from on a potato system.
