Re: help to choose right printer to buy
One advantage of the HP Eprint printers (most new inkjet models, don't know about lasers) is you can send print jobs via either HP's Eprint service via email or through Google's Cloud Print from Gmail or Google Docs under Chrome, or from Android. No driver install needed because the job is rendered at the server. You can't scan this way, though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

No, I have an older N95 (that would probably be N95-1 or something like

down relevant info all over Google in order to make it work. Some

nose, installing Gnome PPP and what not. I've never heard of this Blueman
DUN wizard. The modem is located at /dev/rfcomm0, while Gnome PPP will only
detect /dev/modem and /dev/ttySx, so its autodetection is of no use. The
hardest part, however, was finding the relevant codes and numbers and
initiation strings for my GSM provider; providers like to obfuscate these
data in proprietary files, pre-packaged for Windows (and for Macs at best).
I did take a crack at this approach following various online tutorials
without success. Good to know that the hard part was the
provider-specific codes as I did not change these from defaults.
Thanks for the offer but unless your provider is Rogers in Canada,
I'll take another look at this method and try and find the Rogers
codes somewhere myself.
this is my /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:
code
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:11:22:33:44:55;
#
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 4;
#
# # Description of the connection
comment Nokia N95 Dial-Up Networking;
}

Of course, you must supply your true Nokia's MAC inthere. For finding the
right channel, I think you can use hcitool or something like that. I repeat,
it's quite a bit of work. If you want me to post any additional config
files, just say so.

Grub stage1 not found then Error 2 on reboot
I had a working Lenny install which I somehow hosed while experimenting with Grub. On boot, the message displays 'Grub loading stage 1.5' then 'Error 2'. I did the following to try to fix the problem: 1) I reboot from a GRML rescue CD and attempt to repair grub with grub-install #mount /dev/sda5 /mnt #grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. stage1 is present at /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 and md5sum shows it is not corrupted. Same for stage2. Device.map: (hd0) /dev/sda 2) I then tried this: # mount -t proc none /mnt/proc # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev # chroot /mnt # grub grub find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,4) grub root (hd0,4) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub setup (hd0) Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists... yes Checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists... yes Checking if /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists... yes Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)... 15 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst... succeeded Done. This looks good but on reboot I still get Grub Error 2. Question: According to the Grub Manual, Error 2 means this: Bad file or directory type - This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO.

Re: HPLIP(install Qt4 libs) and I ended up with awful fonts-colors in browser.How to revert?
Luis Maceira wrote: The fonts in Opera are awful(size and font),the only thing I did,was install HPLIP for printing(which installed Qt4 libs) and the fonts I had in Opera9.63 (compiled dinamically with Qt3) were arbitrarily changed, the fonts I had were O.K. for me.I have not experimented with other programs(except Iceweasel) but it seems the default Qt fonts were changed, so other programa may be affected. In Iceweasel3.0.4(I use lenny) the changes were in color: the overall color of the windows is a darker gray and the highlight scrool color of the menus is now dark blue,and was middle blue. The question is: How can I revert the situation without uninstall HPLIP? Qt4 is installed by hplip-gui, not by hplip. Since hplip just Recommends (not Depends) on hplip-gui, you may uninstall hplip-gui without uninstalling hplip. The one feature you'll lose is the Toolbox - all the other 'hp-*' utilities can be run from the command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Howto: change IceDove UI font size
The toolbar, folder list, and message list font was way too small on my
Etch IceDove install, so I had to research how to change this - you
can't do it in the Preference or Config Editor.
So, for the betterment of all humankind, here's how:
In you IceDove profile folder ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/random profile
name, create a directory 'chrome' if it doesn't exist. Edit or create
a file userChrome.css and paste in this:
/* Global UI font */
* { font-size: 11pt !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
}
and restart your IceDove ...
Reference: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts
If other people have had this problem, reply and I'll add this tip to
the Debian Wiki and file a bug report.

x-window-system-dev for installing X-Window includes?
I'm attempting to compile the GPLed 2.2.0 beta of TheKompany's Rekall and the configure script halts with a failed check for 'X includes'. Searching aptitude for likely packages sources for X includes (this means C header files, right?) I found the meta package x-window-system-dev but this seems to be for installing a complete X window development environment and really overkill for this. Is there a more specific package for X includes? --- Andrew Malcolmson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
