Where has my Windows partition gone?
Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions. The issue is now solved. I resolved it as follows: # aptitude install os-prober (It was not installed) # os-prober # update-grub First, was windows menu there before? It was, and I don't know when or how it was deleted. I assume that it happened during an update. I can't say exactly when, as I haven't looked to use the windows partition for a while. Again, Thanks everyone.

Where has my Windows partition gone?
Hello, I have a dual boot laptop running squeeze. I update regularly. I rarely use the Windows partition – I have not used it for several months. However, it now appears to be gone, according to grub. At least, when I boot up, and get the blue screen with the list of options, the Windows one is not there. Instead I get a list of kernels But “fdisk -l” says it is still there.

curious gnome desktop behaviour after upgrade
Then my vote goes to sit and wait :-) I sat and waited and nothing happened. Today, I did more Googleing and found a sledgehammer solution. Go to runlevel 3 and login. Then issue the command $ rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd Reboot. Your gnome-panel settings will be reset to the defaults, but at least things work again.

curious gnome desktop behaviour after upgrade
Hello, I am using squeeze on a dell laptop, and am using Gnome, as came with the standard installation. Yesterday, after a big “safe-upgrade” my desktop started to behave curiously. When I open a console on the GUI and minimize it, it appears to go to the bottom right corner, and then disappears completely. Then the Panel on the top panel no longer functions. Icons on the desktop continue to function. If I open another app, all of the buttons on the top panel disappear, except for the volume button. Then the bottom panel becomes completely bank. Any ideas what has happened? John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: curious gnome desktop behaviour after upgrade
Thanks Camaleón, - First try: run killall gnome-panel. - Second thing to check: create a new panel and see if behaves correctly when you minimize the applications. - Thrird try: create a new user and login with it. I did all of this. Same behaviour, even with the new user. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I am using squeeze. To join a webcast, I download a .jnlp file. ( I am using Iceweasel) When it is finished downloading, a pop-up box offers me to open it with Sun Java 6 Web Start (default). I accept, and then I get a number of errors, with the heading Application error - unable to launch the application When I enquired with the supplier, I was told that I need to have the Java Runtime Environment from www.java.com installed. I am probably trying to open the .jnlp with the wrong Java. Questions: How do install the java from www.java.com using aptitude?

vmware after kernel upgrade on lenny
Hello I am using lenny. I tried to use vmware workstation, and I got an error to the effect that it could not find kernel headers. So a little Googling told me that I had to do aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl But the above file did not exist. So, I ran vmware again, and it told me that several modules need to be compiled and installed, to which I pressed INSTALL. It asked me for the root password, which I supplied, and a box with the heading “vmware kernel module updater” appeared, which had 6 categories: Virtual Machine Monitor Virtual Network Device Vmware blocking filesystem etc. On compileing the first, it stepped immediately with an error. The error said to look in the file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-6425.log.

overhead projector unclear under lenny
Hello, I moved my laptop to lenny last May. Before that, it had been using etch. It is a DELL Precision M65. It has a 15.4 WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD Screen. On moving, I noticed that it had very few screen resolutions, so I editedxorg.conf to add a few. Everything worked fine, until I connected an overhead projector yesterday, for the first time under lenny. The picture produced by the overhead is very unclear. With WINDOWS on the same laptop, the picture on the overhead projector is clear. The picture used to be clear under etch. I tried another overhead projector, and saw the same unclear picture. I have tried reducing the resolution on the Display, and it has not helped.

To start paros in squeeze, use /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -Duser.dir=$HOME/.paros -cp /usr/share/java/commons-codec.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-collections3.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-configuration.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-httpclient.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-lang.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar:/usr/share/java/jdic.jar:/usr/share/java/hsqldb.jar:/usr/share/java/paros.jar org.parosproxy.paros.Paros See Bug#532194 if you need details and other alternatives.

recursive grep and openoffice
Thanks for all of your replies.
I didn't know that tools such as tracker would search with openoffice
document.
With respect to the command line, I have fixed on
find . -name *.odt -exec sh -c 'unzip -c {} content.xml | grep
string-being sought /dev/null' \; -print
but it returns immediately, and seems to do no searching.
To my amateur eyes, it looks like it should work. I've done some searching,
but to no avail.
Anybody got ideas?

recursive grep and openoffice
Hello,
I sometimes need to find a file, and I only know of some text contained
therein.
So I launch a search as follows:
$ grep -r text i am looking for /home/john
OR
$ find /home/john -type f -exec grep -i * **text i am looking for * '{}'
\; -print
where /home/john is my home directory.
The problem is that this does not search within .odt openoffice files.
It will located any .doc files that contain the string, but not openoffice
files.
This is a big nuisance, as most of my files are now .odt files.
Some research has let me know that openoffice files are zip files that
contain other files.
I am using etch (soon to upgrade).
Has anybody got a solution that will recursively search a directory looking
for a file that contains some specified text, and will search within
openoffice file?

automounting in xfce
Thanks to everyone. Problem solved. Yes, I misunderstood fdisk -l. I assumed that it would list the CD partition also. I never even tried to mount the CD, as I thought that when it was not being seen by fdisk, it was not there, and there was nothing to mount. Also I've learned how to install from another version of debian, although it appears that this is not recommended. So, mount /media/cdrom0 worked perfectly, and after installing hal, I could see the CD icon on the desktop. Thanks again. John

vmware questions
Hi, I am running debian etch on a dell laptop which is dual boot with XP. I rarely, if ever, use XP. However, I now need to use an application, as part of a course I am doing, which only runs on Windows. So, I've decided to put vmware on etch and run XP from that. (I know about WINE, but I'd prefer to go the vmware route, as I want to get familiar with vmware.) I've googled and seen some articles on installing vmware-server and vmware-tools. My work has a vmware image of XP which I can use. (We also have a vmware licence.) However, I think that it might be better if I proceed by (1) creating a vmware image of my existing XP, (as it has all of the drivers etc. for my hardware.) (2) putting that vmware image on etch (3) install vmware on etch (4) reformat the XP partitions, and use them for etch. Some questions: 1. anybody got any links on how to achieve (1) above 2. What vmware software should I install? I see that there is vmware-desktop, wmware-player, vmware-server etc. and I'm confused. Any good links on how to install this? 3. How will I get that vmware to open the XP image – is it just a matter of File|Open? 4. I see that there is no debian package for vmware. Will installing it interfere with aptitude? Thanks in advance John
Re: networking: fixed ip address and dhcp
I used to have a file which contained ifconfig eth1 XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1 cat seach domain/etc/resolv.conf cat nameserver AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD resolv.conf I think you meant 'echo' instead of 'cat', and 'search' instead of 'seach'. Also you seem to be appending to /etc/resolv.conf everytime. If that is the case, then the resolver is probably using some other search path somewhere in the beginning of the file. You might want to fix your script so that it overwrites the file instead. Thanks - that was the problem. - seach Very stupid of me. Still learning and would be lost without the list.

networking: fixed ip address and dhcp
I have a dell laptop on which I have just performed a basic install of etch using netinstall, on which I installed xfce. (I did have gnome, but I needed to repartition, so i decided to try xfce.) The problem is now with my networking At home, I use dhcp - no problem. When I bring the laptop to work, I use fixed ip addressing. I used to have a file which contained ifconfig eth1 XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1 cat seach domain/etc/resolv.conf cat nameserver AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD resolv.conf which I would simply sudo when I get to work and I got my static ip address networking to work. This does not work now - I can't ping out. When I run ifconfig at the command line, it gives me the correct ip address, and tells me that it is up. The /etc/network/interfaces file is auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp I did a very basic install – maybe something is missing. any ideas? John

Openoffice file takes a long time to open
Hello, I am running Etch on a Dell Precision laptop. I have one openoffice file, say XYZ.odt, which takes a long time to open (maybe 25 minutes). While it is opening, Openoffice is stalled. It is not big. ls-l reports its size as 18,000. I have many much bigger files which open immediately. I copied the file to SUSE linux that I have on a desktop, and the file opened quickly. I tried changing its name. I tried copying its contents to a new file. I made a copy of the file (using cp). I had some URLs in the file, which I changed to text (removed the blue and underline) I ran fsck on the filesystem on which it resides, and it reported no bad blocks. Any ideas where I look? John
