Problems with Gnome2
Hi, I finally have gotten a clean install of gnome2 for my unstable dist laptop, and I'm having some strange problems with gnome2 and was wondering if anyone else is having them 1. I have a 1.7 Ghz p4m laptop with 512megs mem. However, gnome feels extreamly sluggish. An example of this would be working in one terminal for an extended period of time and then try to highlight the 5 desktop icons. It will take a noticable amount of time for the icons to be highlighted, and there will be no shadow box appearing showing that area of the desktop I'm trying to highlight. However, if I immediatly try to do the same thing, it appears to work fine and the performance is much better. I am noticing this in several places doing different things. 2. When I try to launch gnome stuff from the menu or from a launcher icon and there is the afore mentioned sluggishness, it causes xmms to pause for a brief period of time. I have had top running during the problems, but there is never a load on my machine. I am hoping that these are problems with gnome or the packaging that will be fixed and not a standard feature. It seems that gnome should just fly on a machine like mine since I have both the memory and the horsepower. Any ideas, thoughts, comments would be appreciated.

Problems with X and unstable
I am in need of some help. It appears that the X packages in the unstable distribution where updated and now I can not get into X. I am attaching the log from trying to run a startx to show what the problem is. Before this happened on Friday, I was running X without a problem on my Dell Inspiron 8200. Any ideas on what has changed would greatly be appreciated.

Package Depedency Problems/Conficts
Please forgive if this is not the proper forum for this posting, but I'm not exactly sure where it should go. There is a dependency problem with wterm. I just tried to install it on my laptop that is running debian unstable with WindowMaker as my windowmanager. However an apt-get install wterm comes back saying that it wants to remove libwraster2 wmaker wmakerconf! How can this be seeing as wterm is a terminal emulator designed for windowmaker? Any help on how to get the two working together, or who to pass this on to would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

After that, I even ended up with a nice little shortcut on my desktop to IE (with nautilus that is). After that, it's possible to upgrade to IE6. Installing IE6 from scratch is not possible (at least I haven't found out how yet), it gives you an error that it needs at least win98. And, like some other user mentioned here, your fonts will look ugly, but there might be some tweaking possible. I just did it to show someone you can run (some) win32 programs with linux. Have fun! PS: check also appdb.codeweavers.com.. You will find a lot of usefull tips there (and also a lot of outdated ones). Just go to codeweavers.com and purchase a copy of crossover office. This is a version of wine that will run IE, Quicken, Office 2000, etc on linux. It is the same code base as wine, just more advanced. Definetly worth the money and will probably be perfect for you.

Problems running Gnome
Hello Everyone, I am having some problems running Gnome. I have just built my new Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with Debian 3.0 and used the unstable tree for the install of packages. I know that the unstable tree is a moving target, but it has several things that I wanted (such as gnome 2). Well, when I try to launch gnome using gdm, I get the following error in a popup window: --- There was an error starting the GNOME Setting Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. The Last error message was: Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon' GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. - When I click ok, I only get the desktop icons. I do not get the panel or anything else. I am able to left and middle click on the background to get the two associated menus. Does anyone know what is going on and what I need to do to fix it and get a working version of gnome2? Thanks Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Which Kernel should I use????

Major Network Issues
I'm having major network problems since switching to my new ISP (road runner). I know that the problem is on my side and need some help figuring out what is wrong and how to fix it. Problem 1: I am unable to ping/connect any of my isp's servers (pop/smtp/nntp/etc) from any box on my network other than my ipmasq box. Of course, the ipmasq box has the nic for the rr cable modem in it. Problem 2: Due to problem 1, I can't send e-mail from my lan. I'm using exim. I tried on a reconfig to set the smart host smtp server to the ip address of the smtp server of rr. However, when I tried to send a test message, I recieved the following error: lookup of host 24.93.67.176 failed in smarthost router. Problem 3: I'm running dhcp for my internal network. How can I get machines that are given dhcp address to be dns-able for my lan (not worried about being able to see them from the internet). Please let me know any specific information you might need to help diagnose and solve this problem, and I will try to provide it. Thanks, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Road Runner DNS Problems

Here is my current setup: internet | | debian-wall (Firewall box) | | Hub---(debian-server - DNS server for the network) | | (Multiple PC's) The problem I'm having is that I'm unable to access pop/smtp/nntp servers that Road runner provides from anywhere on my network except debian-wall. Road Runner is using dhcp to assign me the ip-addr and I have that working. I also have ipmasq working so all of my networked machines can get in and out to the internet.

Samba Problems
I've had samba working on my network, allowing my nt box to see my unix home directories. However, I had to reorganize my NT box (server) and ended up reinstalling to free up a hd.

KDE mail client problems
I'm having problems getting KDE's mail client to delete mail that are in folders. I currently have my system set up to sort my mail using exim's filtering capablity. All of the filtered mail goes into various folders in my ~/Mail dir. KDE see's the files with the mail fine, and I'm able to read the mail, and supposedly delete the mail. However, when I close the mail client, and restart it, the mail is still there. So does anyone know how to make the mail client really delete the mail? Thanks, chris

Sound Card Config/Kernel Compile Problems
I'm having some problems with my yamaha pci sound card that I just installed. After reading the kernel documentation, I compiled in every thing it said to for the olp3-sa stuff. However, on the reboot of my system, it looks like some of the sound card parameters are wrong, and I'm not sure what they should be. Here is what the kernel said: OSS: OPL3-SA chip not found Found OPL3-SAx (YMF719) MSS: I/O port conflict Sound initialization complete Alright, the kernel found my card and called thinks it's a YMF719, although it really is a YMF724E-V.

Setting Up Netscape Mail
I guess I'm going to have to use the mail program in Netscape, since I can't find any other descent X mail programs. However, I'm not sure how to set it up. I have exim filters running that are sorting all of my mail into the appropriate folders. I've set it up so that no mail should be left in the /var/spool/mail folders. So, do I need to still tell Netscape to use the movemail program? If so, what is the best way to set it up. If not, what should I tell the system to use for the incoming mail? Thanks, Chris
Exim Filter

Mail system all f*cked up
Well, after doing a clean install of Slink from cd's, it appears that the mail system is not working. Last night, I did a clean install of slink, and setup fetchmail and exim and tested them. Fetchmail pulled down my mail, and eventually exim delivered it (over an hour later). Well, today I ran them for real (told fetchmail to fetchall instead of keep). Fetchmail worked fine, but the mail has never been delivered. I can see it sitting in my /var/spool/exim/incoming dir, but exim won't deliver it. Now it has been close to 3 hours since the initial run. Also, I went to send this message out from tkrat and was given this error: 550 relaying to debian-user@lists.debian.org prohibited by administrator. What the hell is going on, and how do I fix it.

Slink mail
I just did a minor upgrade of my system to slink (I had done a major upgrade before it was officially released), and am now having problems with mail. Everytime runq or in.smtpd run, they are going balistic, and taking up all of my processor (causing loads 2 or 3). Does anyone know what is going on and/or how to fix it? Everything was running perfectly until I did that minor upgrade yesturday (and I'm not sure what all was upgraded). Thanks, chris
CD-R/RW Question
I'm looking at purchasing a cd-r /cd-rw in the near future, and was looking for some advice as to what to purchase. My main linux box has both ide and scsi in it, so I can go either way. I was wondering if there were advantages to going either with scsi or ide. I'm looking more at ease of operating and installing under linux, not the inherent advantages/disadvantages of ide vs scsi. Also, does linux handle the cd-rw's? If so, are they worth the extra money to get? TIA, chris Access your e-mail anywhere, at any time.

diald and ip address
I was wondering what file I should modify so that diald will email me my ip address when it goes on line? I've tried adding it to the /etc/diald/ip-up file (I believe that is where it is, but I'm not at my machine right now), and it did not work. Is there another file I can modify so it will do this? Thanks, Chris lsouth.net
Re: Auto Login at Boot?
Setup diald, then you don't have to worry about starting up ppp. It
will do it anytime you try to access the net.

Also, what should I name machine2 (I'd like tux.choover.ml.org). I'm using ip masq. on machine 1 to hide my network which consists of private ip's (192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2). So far, everything is working as far as internet access from both machines. However machine 2's mail is screwed up, and from comments an a previous question, it looks like a naming issue. Also, is it possible for me to set up the network where I can access either machine from the internet? TIA, Chris
Re: cable-modem woes (TCI/@HOME)
Stuart: I also have a cable modem with @HOME. They are relativley easy to get working. Set the ip of the nic they gave you to 24.1.106.xxx. Then set the netmask to 255.255.255.0. The gateway is 24.1.106.1. Then use the DNS servers they gave you. They should have given you a name for your machine (mine is ci1000135-a.grnvle1.sc.home.com) . Your HOSTNAME = the first part (ci1000135-a in my case). In /etc/resolv.conf add the line search = grnvle1.sc.home.com - substitute the grnvle1.sc.home.com for what ever yours is. Then add nameserver 24.1.64.zzz. You can have as many name servers as you need, but only 1 per line. Make sure your kernel is compiled with support for your card (it appears that it is). If this does not make it work, you might need to compile ip-forwarding into your kernel. Also, make sure that you setup ipfwadm with firewall rules, since you have a static IP. Best of luck, Chris From: Stuart Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 1998 1:39 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: cable-modem woes (TCI/@HOME) Hi, I am having trouble getting my cable-modem working and I am wondering if somebody out there knows the right way. Here is the info: - works in win98 - looks like a subnet of a class A network (this could be my problem) - ip address is 24.1.106.xxx (xxx not shown) - netmask from provider is 255.255.240.0 - gateway is 24.1.104.1 - dns server is 24.1.64.zzz - domain set in resolv.conf I am really unsure about the network address I should use. From the HOWTO's it looks like I should use 24.1.96.0 since the is the result of ANDing the ip address and netmask. I tried lots of things but none seem to work. Win98 only asks for ip address and netmask -- I guess it figures out the network address. I also don't know if I should try a broadcast address either. I can bring eth0 up with no errors and set the routing but I can't connect to anything. Any ideas? Am I doing something stupid? thanks very much, Stuart -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Problems with Mail
I'm having some preplexing mail problems, and was wondering if someone could help me resolve the problem. I have 2 linux boxes networked together. My production box also has the connection to the internet. It is running all of my servers, and pulling mail down from my isp with fetchmail. I'm wanting to be able to d/l my mail from my production box to my development box, but am not able to get it to work. My first attempt was to use fetchmail. It seemed to pull the mail down, but it never showed up in my /var/spool/mail/user file. After examining the system, it appears that is is stuck in /var/spool/smail/incoming. Does anyone have any idea why smail is not delivering it? My temp solution is to use netscape mail program to d/l the mail to my development box. But I really don't want to be stuck with this as the solution. BTW, I really don't want to directly d/l the mail to my development box, since I can't reach it from outside my house (it's on a private network, using ipmasq to get out). Ideas? Thanks, Chris
Re: Fonts for Gimp
Thanks for the help. I went and installed both of these font packages, but it did not seem to solve the problem. I still seem to be missing the fonts that gimp wants to run many of the xtns. Especially the ones under script-fu. Is anyone else having the same problem? Are there any other font packages that I need to install? Please help me solve this problem. Thanks.

making mp3's
I'd like to make some mp3 off of my favorite cd's and was wondering if someone could direct me as how to go about doing this. Which programs do you use, and how to do it. Thanks, Chris -- E-Mail: Chris Hoover [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 27-Aug-98 Time: 07:13:01 This message was sent by XFMail --
