prevent um-imapd writing folders to $HOME?

2004-03-10 Thread Benjamin Rutt
I'm running debian unstable, and uw-imapd.  Is there any way to
prevent uw-imapd from writing its mail folders to $HOME, which
clutters up things in the $HOME directory terribly?  I'd really like
it to put the folders in $HOME/imap-folders etc.

I tried reading some notes under /usr/share/doc/libc-client2002edebian
which said I could create an /etc/c-client.cf which could override the
folder path for uw-imapd.  Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
Thanks,

frozen-bubble won't load after moving to unstable

2003-12-06 Thread Benjamin Rutt
Ever since I upgraded from stable to unstable recently, I have been
unable to execute frozen-bubble anymore.  I've been getting the
following errors:

$ /usr/games/frozen-bubble
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.so' for module SDL_perl: 
libGL.so.1: cannot handle TLS data at /usr/lib/perl/5.8.2/DynaLoader.pm line 225.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/SDL.pm line 9
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/SDL.pm line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/SDL.pm line 9.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/games/frozen-bubble line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/games/frozen-bubble line
52.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve my problem?  I've tried setting
the environment variable PERLLIB to include
/usr/lib/perl5/auto/SDL_perl, but that didn't help either.  Thanks in
advance for any help,

Re: sndconfig problems: sound only works until reboot

 I think the problem is that sndconfig uses modules
 which are normally not active (temporarily activating
 them or something) - I allready found it uses a module
 called 'opl3' which was not active.

 I now have got the following sound modules installed:
 opl3, sb, sb_lib, sound, soundcore, uart401.

 I attached the /etc/modules.conf - I hope you can tell
 me what I am missing - I think it must be a module -
 because, what else could be the problem after a
 (re)boot ??

I think to make module XYZ loaded at boot time, you want to add the
line XYZ to /etc/modules.  For me, having a module-enabled kernel,
plus adding the line

sb

in /etc/modules was enough for my sound card (Creative Labs SB AWE32)
to be activated at boot time.

Thanks, are there any other integrated tools that can do the same

Thanks, it seems to work, after I ran apt-file update.  However,
should I be concerned about the following error:

searching for what package includes a given file

2003-04-02 Thread Benjamin Rutt
I just successfully used Search the contents of packages from
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to determine what package in
stable provides GL/glx.h.

Is there a way to do that search via command-line tools without
resorting to the web page?  I know that dpkg -S expression will do
that for packages already installed on your system, but doesn't help
for those that are not.

Upgrade to a mail client that supports the Mail-Followup-To: header.
That way, when you respond to a mailing list post which contains the

image viewer that refreshes?

2003-03-11 Thread Benjamin Rutt
I have a .jpg image that keeps changing (from a webcam).  Is there an
image viewer in debian's packages that will display the image and
automatically refresh the image when it has changed?  I've already
tried gqview, xli and display, and qiv.  ('display -update 1' doesn't
update as advertised).  Thanks,

 Let us assume that your image is the free JenniCam, which updates every 20
 minutes, and that you have a cron job or some other process doing the
 downloading:

 #!/bin/sh

 WATCHIMG=/tmp/jennicam.jpg

 display -immutable $WATCHIMG 
 while true
 do
   sleep 1200
   display -remote $WATCHIMG
 done

FYI, I actually found that I needed to issue the initial display
*without* the -immutable flag (otherwise, the -remote command would
make the original display process terminate).  After that, it worked
great though, thanks for the tip.

Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I haven't used this, but I have used a number of other applications
 that work like this. Basically, giving 'display' the option
 '-immutable' and throwing it into the background makes display sorta
 kinda act like a server of sorts -- commands can be given to
 it. Which is where '-remote' comes in -- it's saying to 'display' to
 look for an already running instance of 'display' and then to change
 the image being used.

Looks correct, although in my case, using -immutable for the first
invocation of display causes later -remote invocations to close the
original window.  So, for me, the above paragraph is true, minus the
'-immutable' option.

 (For the OP - had you considered loading the image in
 Mozilla/Galeon/Opera/Phoenix... and setting an autoreload on it, either
 via the tab/window preferences or using mozilla-remote?)

Yes, that wouldn't be bad...unfortunately I can't keep a browser
running for very long usually.  My X server is often a thin-client
xterm, and for some reason browsers keep dying with the following
types of errors:

X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Serial number of failed request:  14366
  Current serial number in output stream:  14517
X Error of failed request:  BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  57 (X_CopyGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x2c0074d
  Serial number of failed request:  14448
  Current serial number in output stream:  14521

Maybe it's a colormap issue, but I'm clueless.

You can do 'ls -al /usr/lib/sendmail'; typically, that file identifies
