Is gnome-audio dead?
Hi, Before filing a bug on gnome-audio, I did what any good debian user would do and checked whether that bug had already been filed. It turns out there are four bugs filed against gnome-audio, from almost 2 years ago to about a year ago. They are all the same bug, the one I would have reported. Namely, some of the sounds which are supposed to be supplied in this package aren't. I found James' reply that these sounds don't exist in the upstream package, but I think #59699 still stands: --- It seems like the default settings shouldn't refer to files that don't exist: either leave the setting empty or add an actual sound, or at least don't suggest installing gnome-audio when I already have it installed. --- Of course I suppose that could be reported against a different package (gnome-control-center?)... I tried searching the list archives but a search I started half an hour ago has yet to complete (at http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/searchlists). Any information would be appreciated.

debianising DRI X source
Hi, I recently switched from my own hand-rolled X server/libs combo to Brandon's packages in Woody (because running X outside of the debian system is a real pain). Brandon's packages work great but I'm having problems with 3D on my rage 128 (flickering, no multitexture, occasional hard locks). I would like to use the DRI CVS tree for my X server, libs and modules but Brandon's package system. Vaguely I have the notion that I can use some dpkg-source trickery on a copy of the CVS tree, then use dpkg-buildpackage to create a local version of X which has all Brandon's package niceties but uses the latest 3D code. Has anyone else done this, or at least thought of it? Any advice? I'm not overly familiar with building local versions of packages, to be honest - although I've locally built glibc since I'm using kernel 2.4...

Of course you could also use fetchmail's mda option to make an account be delivered to an arbitrary file. But you probably don't care about that. What I've learned from this long and silly thread is there are plenty of ways to receive mail from several accounts and keep them separated, but none that you like. Too bad.

This is a piss-poor hack. Alternatively, if you don't want separate acounts for work / home, you can use an exim .forward file to filter and save your home stuff to a seperate mailbox file and mutt -f the file.

I thought, that I would now use fetchmail to get my mail from the POP3 server (actually from more than one) and have it all appended to my mailbox in /var/spool/mail and the MUA would then process it appropriatly. So where does procmail come into the game? either your MTA calls it to do local mail delivery after fetchmail hands off its messages to it, or fetchmail can run it directly with, IIRC, the mda option. I think debian may use procmail automatically for at least some MTAs, so you could try just creating a .procmailrc to see if it works. Otherwise you can use a .forward which pushes things through procmail... I'm no procmail expert, though.

Also do I need a separate program to fetch my mail off the server and if so which do you recommend? depends. mutt has some limited builtin POP support, but it'd be better to use fetchmail. If you want to use IMAP, mutt supports that too, and as of the upcoming 1.2 release should do it rather well (I'm biased, since I've written most of the new IMAP code). Having all of the software available in the Debian distribution is lovely but I'm finding it difficult to choose from several different programs that do the same thing, especially since the names don't usually mean anything to me. most of the time, the names are deliberately meaningless. you can really only experiment or get other's opinions. that's hacker culture for you. -Brendan pgp6xmhYaMF73.pgp Description: PGP signature
