Re: GDM background image
You can use any other program /usr/bin/X11/display -window root /usr/share/enlightenment/themes/BlueSteel/backgrounds/images/All-Good-People-4.jpg Jeff Hornsberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I'm looking for a way to set the background image for gdm. I know it is set in /etc/gdm/Init/Default using xsetroot, but I want to set it to an image not a color. As far as images go, xsetroot apparently can only handle bitmaps. I'm wondering how I can set the background of gdm to a .jpg?

Re: PPP and internet connectivity
For the moment, I also have a problem of missing route to the gateway. I don't use PPP but PCMCIA network... with are somehow similar because the network configuration is more dynamic. But I don't have any /etc/init.d/network file at all... How should I do to generate one? Chris. John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Paul M. Foster writes: Does anyone have a clue what could be the matter? Yes. You told the installer that you are on a network and it created a defaultroute that pppd won't override. Edit /etc/init.d/network and comment out the lines with GATEWAY in them. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin -- Christian Lemer Service de Conformation des Macromolecules Biologiques et de Bioinformatique Universite Libre de Bruxelles Brussels Free University [EMAIL PROTECTED] +32.2.648.52.00http://www.ucmb.ulb.ac.be/~chris
PCMCIA configuration troubles
I used pcnetconfig to configure my PCMCIA network Specify the IP address... NN.MM.OO.17 Enter the netmask 255.255.255.0 Enter the network address:NN.MM.OO.0 (default) Enter the broadcast address: NN.MM.OO.255 (default) Enter the gateway address:NN.MM.OO.254 Enter the local domain name: xxx.yy.xx ... 1st 2nd and 3rd nameservers... no nfs mount poins With this configuration I have no route to the gateway... I try different things and found that it works if I added the following in /etc/network/interfaces iface eth0 inet static address NN.MM.OO.17 network NN.MM.OO.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 and make ifup eth0 It is working but I really don't understant why I shoud add this last. Now I can connect to the network, but I would like to have a cleaner installation.

xscreensaver without gnome
I would like to run xscreensaver with enlightenment and gdm but without gnome. I made different trials to run if from my .xsession... but could not succeed to make it work... Where should I put the command so that xscreensaver is always active but in lock mode if logged in and in non-lock mode when gdm is active -- Christian Lemer Service de Conformation des Macromolecules Biologiques et de Bioinformatique Universite Libre de Bruxelles Brussels Free University [EMAIL PROTECTED] +32.2.648.52.00http://www.ucmb.ulb.ac.be/~chris
Emacs SSH... You have no controlling tty
Debian potato GNU Emacs 20.7.2 SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5. I recently installed Debian on my laptop and I'm very happy with it. Unfortunately, I cannot use my favorite editor to check the cvs status of files that are accessible only through a ssh connection. My friend has the same laptop with RedHat, and when he uses VC or PCL-CVS to examine the status of the files, Emacs simple ask him its password on the other machine... when mine fails with the message Message: cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) Message: Parser Error: 'You have no controlling tty. Cannot read passphrase.' I took a lot of time trying to understand better the default configuration of ssh (which is more in Debian that it is in RedHat ... at least is seems so) but I couldn't figure why it fails. In fact, it may or may not be related to ssh.
