XF86Setup incorrectly updates /etc/X11/XF86Config
Hi all! I have this weird behavior of XF86Setup. I try to change the mouse settings to 4 buttons and MouseManPlusPS/2 instead of 3 buttons and PS/2. I go into the graphical mode, and change all the necessary settings. Then I click Done, and so on, and it exits normally saying that /etc/X11/XF86Config was written and the old one was renamed into XF86Setup.bak. Ok, I go into shell, and see by the time-stamp that the file indeed has been updated. But inside, the Pointer sectino I invariablly see Section Pointer ProtocolPS/2 Device /dev/mouse BaudRate1200 Emulate3Timeout 50 Resolution 200 EndSection After I edit it by hand to look like this: Section Pointer ProtocolMouseManPlusPS/2 Device /dev/mouse Buttons 4 Resolution 200 EndSection everything works. But if I rerun XF86Setup, and confirm that I want to use my existing file as a default, then change some parameters (not even in the Mouse section; BTW the mouse info shows correctly in there at this point), then save the changes, my XF86Config's pointer sections reverts to the wrong settings. I tried deleting the file altogether thinking that maybe it was corrupt, then new file is created, and the same behavior is observed. Any ideas, anyone? I'm getting sick of editing it by hand every time (I'm experimenting with keyboard settings currently, and run XF86Setup often).

I have a mixed system with a hamm base and slink and potato packages.

Re: Debian installation - list of things that make it hard
Christensen writes: A final note on this thread--I tried re-installing Debian because during the first installation I remembered seeing messages about not being able to find the package.cd files. It turned out that when I used the scan option it found the ones for main and contrib, but not the ones for non-free, non-US, or local. (So I guess they're optional, and maybe available only from a download???) And it never prompted me to insert the second disk. When I tried to switch disks the CD drawer wouldn't open. (This has never happened before. I guess the installation procedure ties up the device somehow?) Anyway, I bought the CD's from Cheapbytes. They're a set of four: two binary and two source. The two binary CD's seem to be almost duplicates of each other. (#1 has tools, #2 has FAQ's, plus other seemingly minor differences.) The Linux that I installed works OK (from my extremely limited perspective as a total newcomer!). So I'm wondering: what's the reason for that second disk? (When I installed I tried both options: install from a CD or from a CD set. Neither prompted for a second CD.) I'll try to cover most of your questions here. Please ask if I miss anything... The two binary CDs are _very_ different in terms of the packages they contain, but by necessity they are laid out in a similar fashion. The contents are arranged so that most of the stuff most people will need is on CD#1. In fact, all of the suggested tasks/profiles in the installation setup rely only on packages on CD#1. The packages on CD#2 are the less commonly-used ones, meaning that some users may never need it. The non-US and non-free sections are not available on official Debian CDs due to their licensing problems, but you may be able to find people who will sell you CD containing them. and local is a space left for any _local_ Debian packages that a user may have downloaded/built themselves. -- Steve McIntyre, CURS CCE, Cambridge, UK.

Re: how to spy out serial line communication?
If you've got an extra PC I'd say the easiest would be to set up a linux box in the middle and write a small program which would open up the two ports, one to the modem and the other to the pc, and read data from both and write/log the data.

If it's not available in slink, you can get the source from Debian. Or, you could go straight to www.x11amp.org and get the source from there. As for other players, look through the sound section of the Debian archives. There're quite a few in there. i don't know the merits of any of them, i use x11amp for X and amp for console if i feel the need for a song without wanting to start X.
Can Netscape be configured thusly?
Whenever I right-click in Netscape Navigator or Messenger to bring up the pop-up menu, I have to hold the right-mouse button down as long as I want to see the menu. Is there any way to configure Netscape so that the menu stays up without holding the button until I click on a menu item or outside of the menu? Holding the button is too Macintosh-ish for me.

Web site shuts down Netscape
My cousin sent the following link to me: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Castle/7393/Police.html Whenever I try to access it using Netscape 4.5 on a system using a 2.2.1 kernel, I start to connect to the site and then Netscape just quits; no warning; no error messages, just bang! and it's gone. I can restart Netscape, but if I try to access the site again, bang! gone again. I was able to access it via lynx, and was able to tell that it's just a humour/joke page, so it's not at all important, but I'm concerned that simply accessing a web page can shut down Netscape.

DNS fails on Sun after moving NIS
Sorry about posting this to the Debian mailing list, as this has more to do with SunOS, but I don't know of any other place I can ask this. I just moved our NIS server from a SunOS 4.1.4 machine to a Debian machine, and none of the TCP/IP tools (ping, telnet, ftp, etc.) work on the SunOS box anymore. The SunOS machine is running ypbind, and the Linux machine is running ypserv. The /etc/resolv.conf file is set up correctly on the SunOS box and it should be going to DNS for name resolution. Instead, it tries to look all entries up in the hosts map, and of course fails. On Linux, this behavior is controlled by /etc/nsswitch.conf. Does anyone know how to fix this on SunOS?

Re: [Help] Memory
On Mon, 24 May 1999, Mr. (Ms.) Gary L. Hennigan wrote: It's probably something strange going on with the BIOS function used by linux to detect the amount of memory in your computer. I have two suggestions you can try: 1) Manually edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a line like: append=mem=160M or, if you already have an append line add it to the line like: append=floppy=thinkpad,mem=160M 2) Alternatively, upgrade to kernel 2.0.36 or higher. Starting with 2.0.36 the memory detection uses an extended BIOS call to get the amount of memory and this could solve your problem. If Windows can properly find the amount of RAM then a Linux kernel = 2.0.36 will also, since they use the same BIOS call. Gary Thanks alot for your helpfull advice. I have installed the 2.0.36 kernel and it seems to work well with the memory but the system itself is unstable. Sometimes, expecially when I run big programs, the system comes down with the message like Segmentation fault. But when I set the memory to 32M, 64M, or 128M, the system works well.

Re: mounting nfs when server down

Of course the C program will not accept any parameters nor configuration (I don't know much of C program security, so better make it simple). What I'm looking for exactly is if it exists a standard solution for problem b. Using an automounter will solve this problem. With an automounter the directories aren't mounted until they are actually accessed, so it is no longer a problem if the server boots more slowly than the client(s).

I just use PPP normaly. -- *--* Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ -- - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - - -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null How do you get over the problem with dhcp(potato) hanging when there is no net connection? dhcpcd just sits there if it cannot find one. (or atleast I have never been patient enough to wait it out, I give it about 30 s and give up) just installing both would be great for now if that worked. Although, I would like a scheme where it starts the right daemon because it could protentially less time and memory than starting both. Jens you are right about error trapping kernel message would be brain dead. However ifconfig STDOUT does give you how many packets are recieved, if you sent 1 and did not recieve any in reply the you have a smarter way of knowing whether or not you have a live line. You could use regex to parse that ifconfig STDOUT in the script. I am reaching here.:-) What do you think? Thanks, haggs
Re: Installing from source
Thanks a lot . Just one more question. What about cvs? Am I still supposed to make packages first? ---Otgonbayar On 火, 5 25 1999, Carl Mummert wrote: Carl There is a package named 'alien' that can take care of some of this, depending Carl on exactly what you are needing to install.

Notice that, in some sense, it is the Carl root directory for your installation. What you will do is to package the Carl files in this direcotry; then, when they are installed from the root Carl directory, they will fall where they should. Carl Carl From that remote directory, run 'tar czvf package.tgz'. This will amke Carl a file named 'package.tgz' that has all of the files that were in Carl your current directory and below.

You cen rm the tgz file and Carl the files in the remote directory. Carl Carl To uninstall, 'dpkg --purge package' will work. Carl Carl Carl Carl
Kde questions
I've recently switched to KDe to see what all the fuss was about. It's not bad, although I have a few questions. First, I right clicked on the clock at the lower right of the panel and clicked undock, to see what it would do. Well, the boarder around the clock disappeared and I can't get it back. I've looked all over the configuration wizards, but can't find any mention of it. Secondly, how do you add stuff to the panel? I can add items owned by Root, but that doesn't do me much good in terms of my user owning it and being able to modify them. How do I add items to the panel so that a user can edit them? How do I use the templates in the folder in on the desktop? I'm assuming those are for creating links in the panel? TIA.

compile java source as binaries
Hi, I saw that there are a couple of deb packages to compile the java source code into binaries. What is the difference between them? I need to compile some java programs into binaries to get better performance. Thanks.

adding local TeX sty files
If I wanted to add my local teTeX sty files, where on the system is the proper Debian place to put them? For example, I would like to add figdef.sty which doesn't come with the distribution. Do I need to make any configuration file changes? Thanks, Max -- The hopeful depend on a world without end Whatever the hopeless may say Neil Peart, 1985 pgp7Jl5xAeKkN.pgp Description: PGP signature
