Re: Running from XTerm Crashes X
It worked. I somehow forgot that change while typing. This did a little better but xmond.log was still empty. However, it didn't crash but returned the following to the console instead: Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to 127.0.0.1:1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). The following from strace that is consistent for each of 2 attempts: read(7, 0xbfffdd10, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) I don't know if this is just a cheap workaround or a real solution but I've discovered that adding LANG=en_US to .bash_profile stops the crashing. It appears that even though en_US is my default it is automatically set to en_US.UTF-8 when loading an xterm. I guess I'll put off determining why until some future time unless you have any ideas? In any case thanks for the assist. Regards, Terry.

It just means the source and the packaging are kept separate. In general, a "new upstream release" means the source changed, whereas a new Debian release means just the packaging changed. -- Blast you and your estrogenical treachery! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is less even than you ask for. X, by itself, is bloat in the eyes of some Debianers. The new netinstall Debian is about as small as you get for a Unix-like system. It has just enough stuff to be able to download Debian packages over the internet and install them. Each package has well documented requirements for other packages. The APT system allows you to check at each step what you will get if you choose to install a package. Nothing is ever installed, except that it is necessary for a successful installation of something that you are asking for. Never do you get stuff that seems like a good idea to the maintainer of the package. Those good ideas are listed as "recommends" or "suggests". If you find a case where you can get a package to work correctly without one of the packages that the maintainer says are required, that is a reportable bug in the package. You may be able to do without some required packages if you are willing to forego some of the standard functionality of a package. Or you may find a different packages that are advertised as a project to be a 'light weight' version of foo, or a foo without bloat. There are a lot of possibilities for this kind of thing in Debian, and plenty of documentation to help to get it working. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

minimal installation questions
Hi, I'm new to Debian, I'm coming from the bloated world of RedHat. Basiclly, I'm interested in using debian to run a very basic web surfing machine. I would like to use a fanless VIA EPIA motherboard and keep a very minimal install of Debian on a CompactFlash card interfaced via an IDE-to-CF adapter. I would like to know if it's even possible to make a very minimal Debian + XFree86 + Mozilla install. If it is, then how do I go about removing certain unneeded packages that are installed by default? Right now my test machine is running a base install of Sarge (I quit out of the package chooser after the installer installed just the basics) plus enough packages to make XFree86 and Mozilla work (I am using the generic VESA driver for 1024x768, it seems to be fast enough). Even doing just this seems to take up about 235 MB according to df -h. I'm guessing there's far more installed than I really need. Thanks in advance for any help with this matter. _ Dont just search.

You should not mess with files managed by your package manager (dpkg). As a user you are only free to create/copy files on your home or in /usr/local, any other location should not be touched (if you use a lot of caution you can do it, but i can assure you it's a very bad idea =). If you need some kernel header files you'll probably find them installing kernel-headers packages. And manuals and documentation in general have their priority: follow first the Debian if present, then the program documentation and last the Howto.

Two ethernet cards
Hello, I have a laptop with docking station. The laptop has a PCMCIA wireless card; the docking station has its own ethernet port/card. When I boot up w/o the docking station, the wireless card is recognized as eth0 and the network comes up properly. When I boot up with the docking station, the docking station ethernet gets eth0, PCMCIA gets eth1 and Debian tries to bring up the network via eth0. Unless I connect with a ethernet cord, networking fails. Following suggestions from the recent "DHCP Question" thread, I added the hardware address to the eth0 section of my /etc/network/interfaces file: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 00:50:8B:46:28:6F Now, when the laptop is docked, PCMCIA comes up as eth0, but networking doesn't work. During boot, dhclient runs and fails (DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPDISCOVER, ..., No DHCPOFFERS received). I tried running dhclient after the machine was fully booted... it again fails. PCMCIA card flashes its LED to indicate that it has been initialized, but it is not connected to a network. I use a DSL wireless router for networking. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: invisible mailboxes in evolution
I've since created a new user in Linux, logged in as that user, and launched evo. It worked. I nuked that local $home/evolution directory and copied the *problem* one from my normal home directory over, and it launched evolution again. Still worked, this time with all of my mail/settings. Back to the original user account, and still doesn't work. I tried setting the Gnome theme/icons to default, as I've read that can cause problems. I've also tried nuking $home/evolution and starting over, but still the same issues. I have noticed though that removing $home/evolution DOES NOT remove my summary page settings. It still keeps the same weather, rss feeds, etc. I'm wondering if something is messed up here, causing my problems. I don't know where that stuff is at though. Ideas?

Re: how to change ugly themes i.e. acroread, xcdroast and other apps
Hi Stefan, Your tips got me started and finally I got at least the gtk 1.x thing figured out. It's actually quite simple, but has a small bug (at least the way I did it, maybe there is a simpler and better way) That's the way I did it: 1. install themes that support gtk 1 (search for gtk-engines) and the matching gtk2 themes (search for gtk2-engines) - Industrial is the one I wanted. 2. install gtk-theme-switch (comes in two flavors: gtk-theme switch is the one I wanted, gkt-theme-switch2 is the one for gnome 2) 3. use gtk-theme-switch - it will write a line in .gtkrc in ~. Which will nevertheless be ignored by the gtk 1.x apps. The line belongs into "~/.gtkrc.mine" which will be loaded by ~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 - which, as it seems, is the replacement for .gtkrc if gnome2 is used. thank you Pascal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It sounds like you're missing the development files for X. Try 'apt-get install xlibs-dev' and see if that fixes the problem. (Apt will want to install several other packages along with xlibs-dev, depending on how many you already have installed. This is expected, since xlibs-dev is a 'pseudopackage'; mainly there as an easy way to install it's dependencies.)

Lcd4linux ./configure and make problem.
Dear: Fellow Debian Users; I am having problems trying to get ./configure to generate a make file for Lcd4linux. Below is the output for the program. It stops with an error message "configure: error: X11 headers or libraries not available: X11 driver disabled". This of course is taken from the last line of the below information.

Gtk+ apps should pay attn to your .gtkrc (use Control Center to change that) Don't know about Qt.

how to change ugly themes i.e. acroread, xcdroast and other apps
Hi, I just wondered why some apps turn out to look ugly/oldfashioned. I.e. gktalog, nmapfe, xcdroast and acroread. Are they plain X-11 apps or are they using some old gtk 1.x toolkit?

uname problem??
Hallo I am having terrible problems with my system, I think coreutils was upgraded in my last apt-get update/upgrade and now uname does not seem to function like it should, it behave rather like fsck... thus rendering many start up scripts useless and making my computer not boot properly. uname should print out system information, but the version i have seems to wants to be fsck, here is the out put from uname run without any switches shell:~#uname Usage: uname [-panyrcdfvstDFSV] [-b superblock] [-B blocksize] [-I indoe_buffer_blocks] [-P process_inode_size] [-l|-L bad_blocks_file] p-C fd] [-j ext-journal] [-E extended-options] device Emergency help: -p automatic repair -n make no changes to the filesystem -y assume 'yes' to all questions -c check for bad blocks and add the to the badblock list -f force checking even if filesystem is marked clean -v be verbose -b superblock use alternative superblock -B blocksize force blocksize when looking for superblock -j external-journal set location of the external journal -l bad_blocks_file add to badblocks list -L bad_blocks_file set badblocks list yes, very suspiciously like the output of fsck --help (which im not going to put here as i just had to type the above by hand copying from my other monitor :P). I really am at a loose end, i dont know why or how this happened, as i say i rebooted about 12hours after having apt-get updated/upgraded and found that my system was unable to start properly because uname is used in so many start up scripts... all that it was printing to the screen during boot was the usage of the supposed uname (ie wats above). Does anyone know wat has happened here? or can anyone point me in the direction of wat i should do to recover uname etc... i think ihave carried out the siplest checks by trying to upgrade/update again, checking that uname is not a funny symlink and stuff...

Problems with .deb signatures
Well ! After 3 months of tweaking this then tweaking that I suddenly
got the right combination and my internet connection is now working from
Debian. I did several updates, couldn't get things quite stable.
That's stable only in the sense that aptitude actually completes its
list of things to do. There are always things that don't get
done and so are still highlighted for update.
Commented out SOURCES.LIST references to 'sid' ('unstable') & tried
--dist-upgrade.
Now every run of APT-GET --INSTALL gets stopped by this --

How to connect Broadband automatically at boot
Hi folks, Broadband - via ADSL router Connection - requiring login and password Just have Debian installed with sarge-i386-netinst booting to 'init 2' only.

I have no /usr/src/linux/ sources
I am trying to compile some .src.rpm files. When I try to do this they look for headers under the /usr/src/linux link. I installed linux from CD's originally and they didn't put anything there...I don't even have that link. I downloaded a source kernel from kernel.org and many of the instructions I found told me to put the source there...BUT the readme from kernel.org specifically told me NOT to put it there. They said something about how the source from the "kernel du jour" was not what was supposed to be there. Of course, I threw out all those instructions on recompiling kernels and followed the readme from those folks. As a result I still have nothing there except the RPM directories. Any effort to"make" the .rps results in them looking for these headers. What am I missing here, besides these .h files? __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

What are the contents of your boot.ini file? It's just a simple text file, so you could post it here. There needs to be an entry for Debian in there, and it has to refer to a file containing the contents of the /boot partition's boot sector (a 512 byte file). And of course, that boot sector file has to contain stage 1 of Grub - which it should if you told the Debian installer to install Grub to /dev/hdc1. What happens when you try to boot Debian?

I did reformat my floppy with a first partition instead of 4th (was before
udev) and never encountered a problem (tested on mac and linux, maybe
windows requires the 4th partition)
As far as i know the 4th partition was requires years ago and is still
used by default for compatibility reason ... though i guess all readers by
now support the 1st partition on zip. No need to tweak udev then.

from udev.rules, i made this rule to set permission on a cdrom. It gives
syntax for apply a rule on a "kind" of ide device
# There are a number of modifiers that are allowed to be used in some
# of the different fields. They provide the following subsitutions:
#%n - the "kernel number" of the device.
#For example, 'sda3' has a "kernel number" of '3'
# %k - the kernel name for the device.
# %M - the kernel major number for the device
# %m - the kernel minor number for the device
# %b - the bus id for the device
# %c - the string returned by the PROGRAM. (Note, this doesn't work within
# the PROGRAM field for the obvious reason.)
# %s{filename} - the content of a sysfs attribute.
# %% - the '%' char itself.
#
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hde", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom*",
NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="cdrom", SYMLINK="cdrecorder"
this read (with /bin/cat) the /proc/ide/*/media files . For a zip drive on
ide (BUS), this output "floppy" (here RESULT="cdrom*"
KERNEL is not required , i use it to select the first cdrom , with its
kernel name .
NAME="%k" is the device name udev will create under /dev, %k tell udev to
use the same name provided by kernel (here hde).
MODE, GROUP are used to set permission on this file
and SYMLINK to have a standard name in my applications (i always map the
cd writer to /dev/cdrecorder)

invisible mailboxes in evolution
I'm using Debian Testing, and it's been working for about the last eight months w/o too much issue. I have a sudden problem now though, that being that I can open Evolution and see the summary, calendar, and task pages, but nothing with an email in it (drafts/sent/trash/inbox/etc.). Clicking on one of those folders presents me with an empty window pane, with just the std search bar at the top present for that display. I've checked everything I can think of, including verifying I had no hidden messages. I thought perhaps I'd muffed my $home/evolution directory, so backed the current one up, and restored from a month's old backup. Same exact problem, though the display no longer recognized that I had any unread emails. Debian Testing, Evolution 1.4.6, Gnome 2.6 I'd appreciate any tips or help.
