I want to use dselect to install some additional packages... but it appears that, by default, dselect wants to *uninstall* most of my Debian installation, unless I go through the list by hand and tell it to keep each installed package! I run 'dselect' from a command line and I can get it to load and display the list of available packages. But if I don't change the list of packages at all, and instead go directly to the 'install' option, then it tries to deinstall hundreds of packages (including basic stuff like 'at' and 'adduser' and 'cpp' and 'dc'). If I go back to the 'select' list and try to tell it to keep any of these packages, it complains about dependency problems and lists a lot of packages which seem to have nothing to do with the one I'm trying to keep prevent being deleted. What the heck am I doing wrong here? How do I get dselect to simply leave alone the stuff I've already got installed, and just let me select new packages to install? You have some dependancies which are unsatified. dselect try to make your system coherent. Maybe some of your packages depends on other packages which are not avaible. What is your sources.list file? You will not be able to use dselect with broken dependancies, which is not a bad thing: a broken dependancy make a package unusable. I suggest you to check the dependancy with apt-cache unmet and to repair your system by hand using apt-get install to install a new package and dpkg deinstall to deinstall package. By the way, what medium have you used to install your system. The default installation with the CD's does not have this kind of problems. When you use dselect for the first time, it try to install packages (and you should accept). It may be also a solution to reinstall compltetly your system with the CD's. Possibly after having made a backup of your important file.

How to define a loop for... with TeX/LaTeX
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e3878cb337b93c95

You have to be familir with the test construction of TeX. Here is an example
which print the number from 100 downto 0
\newcount\a
\a=100
\loop \ifnum\a0 \number\a \ \advance \a by -1 \repeat
\bye
It loops until the condition become false and then it stop; the condition can
be anywhere between \loop and \repeat.
You can find more details in the TeXbook (p. 218) available at ctan
(texbook.tex):
http://ftp.agh.edu.pl/pub/tex/systems/knuth/tex/texbook.tex.gz
Remark: The file itself begin with an infinite loop telling you that you
cannot compile it because it is copyrighted. To compile it anyway:
remove the first two lines (after the comments):
\loop ...
\errmessage ...
Then just below replace \pausing1 by \pausing0 and add \proofmodefalse just
after \input manmac
LaTeX has a package ifthen which redefine the loops but you can use the TeX
construction also.
This subject is not esotheric. LaTeX itself (which is programmed in TeX,
iniTeX to be more precize) contains a lot of \loops. The \begin{enumerate}
environment is and example.

This is how i've set lilo up... image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only append=video=vga16:off # restricted # alias=1 image=/vmlinuz.old label=LinuxOLD read-only optional append=video=vga16:off # restricted # alias=2 Now I did a kernel recompile last nite to try and get my soundcard working on my machine (separate issue) and that seems to have fixed the video issue from what I can see/test. I had the vmlinuz and a vmlinuz.old kernel in lilo.conf, so I edited the new image details (as above) to include the append details for vga...I then booted into it and video worked fine. So I tried the same with the old kernel image (vmlinuz.old) - resultant attempt to boot into that linux kernel ended up with the same white screen much to my angst - leading me to think that the append isn't working. I then tested it further by removing the append details from the vmlinuz in lilo.conf and it still booted up ok. I find that really odd, since I didn't touch video cards at all during recompile. Really odd. New kernel recompile should not work without the append. The only thing I can think of is that i've put the append in the wrong place. If so corrections much appreciated. Now onto the 2nd part of my post...don't get me wrong guys i'm not bagging Debian here - i'm offering constructive criticisms here. Surely, if a much older version of Redhat (version 7.0) can successfully autodetect and pickup both my video card and soundcard on this laptop then surely Debian should be able to. Debian did NOT auto detect either video or soundcard. I'd say this is the sort of thing that sparked the debate on those 2 debian reviews a week and a bit ago. The ATI rage pro light is a commonly used card on laptops and has been supported since v4 of XF86 I believe. It SHOULD be autodetected and setup during install of Debian IMHO. I shouldn't have to manually tell debconf etc to use the ATI module. Sure I knew to select that, but a lot of other people would have gotten caught out by that. Why is it some distributions can autodetect hardware better than others? Surely linux is linux and if they're using the same kernel/kernel tree then it shouldn't matter what distribution you are using. Sure you can argue that i'm a newbie and therefore shouldn't be using Debian as it's not intended for newbies (and therefore should go back to the Redhat circus et al) but then you're going to lose a lot of new people to Debian (I make reference to the article is debian losing mindshare last month with this point). This can only lead back to there being problems with the Debian install, ie. if it's not the kernel, or XF86, then it can only be the way they are being utilised and probed by the install process. As an example, with my soundcard, sndconfig (which has always worked on Redhat) wouldn't work (ie no sound) with the ess1869 sound chipset (which I KNOW works with this soundcard). So...I recompiled the kernel, adding support for OSS. Out of habit I installed OSS into the kernel (as opposed to a module). I tried sndconfig again and it warned me that OSS needed to be configured as a module. So...back to compiling a kernel again...I made OSS a module, did all the necessary stuff. Tried sndconfig again - and what does it tell me? It can't work because it can't find soundcore.o. This is the sort of thing that frustates a new user. sndconfig work/s/ed perfectly with Redhat (out of the box), why the hell can't it work with Debian? Why all the mucking about? It makes me feel that Redhat installs things *properly* and Debian only half installs things (which if this was the case is NOT satisfactory). There *should* be NO variance between distributions in terms of hardware detection/configuration. As an example...if Windows 95 detects a piece of hardware, I can almost guaranted that Win98, Win98se, Win ME, Win 2000 pro, Win XP will also detect it. That is not the case with linux in general and it is a extremely frustrating issue - and a very bad point of linux in its current development cycle. There is absolutely no use in saying linux supports heaps of hardware if it doesn't auto detect it! For those that want to jump and bag me, I did take the time to read the man pages for lilo, lilo.conf, the BootPrompt-HOWTO, and did various google searches (reading

I have a Compaq Armada 1750, that i've installed Debian Woody bf24 kernel onto. I've chosen the ATI module for Xfree86 (which is the correct module I believe). Interestingly at bootup the LCD screen flashes white, making text or anything for that matter impossible to read. I shut the laptop down at this point as I believe it will damage the video card/LCD screen. Now i'm not sure why it does this, and would love an explanation (or a pointer to a website etc that specifically explains it). I end up booting linux as: linux video=vga16:off That fixes the issue. I'm not sure what all of that line actually means, I can guess the vga refers to vga = 16 bit, I have no idea what the off means. My question is how do I automate this? It becomes tiresome to have to do this each time I boot the machine up. I've had a look at lilo.conf and it has a line for vga=. I've read the man pages for lilo, lilo.conf and also read the BootPrompt -HOWTO, and also a few linux books I have lying around here at home, but none of them clearly indicate what I should do, or how. As far as I can see, if I set vga in lilo to vga=ask it will prompt me for video settings the next time I boot up. I'm not sure if that's what I want and i'm hesitant to try it without some good confirmation that i'm heading in the right direction. My lilo file is a standard lilo file on a fresh debian install.

One other thing and this perplexes me - Linux will either NOT run 1024*768 on this laptop (Redhat 7, 7.1 and 7.2) or will run it (Suse 8 pro) but the display is larger than the screen size (sort of hard to explain). Now i've had Windows 2000 and Windows 95 on this very same laptop and have ran 1024*768 without a single issue. So it's not a hardware limitation. I can only think it's a limitation of X. I have told the machine to use 1024*768 (with Redhat it just caused the X server to crash, in fact linux wouldn't even boot into a working system as it crashed as well [until I killed the X server with ctl alt backspace]). Suse 8 pro will do it, but the display is larger than the screen size as mentioned before and makes it very awkward to navigate around the desktop. Anyone got any ideas (please no go back to windows replies)? Dave video=vga16:off disable the framebuffer (a mean to use the console in graphic mode; which allow to see the linux pinguin). To disable it permanently put append=video=vga16:off just after image= ... in /etc/lilo.conf (I have also had to disable it for a laptop computer) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Debian login
You can delete the root password in the following way. Boot from the first debian CD; Just after the boot Press CTRL ALT F2 and then enter to have the command line. make a new empty directory mkdir qwerty mount your linux partion into this directory mount /dev/hda1 qwerty (you may have to replace /dev/hda1 by the actual linux partition; you can use fdisk to see these). Edit the file qwerty/etc/shadow (with nano) find the line which begin with root and delete what is between the first and the second semi-colon (:) so this line begin with root:: rest of the line. then cd /; umount qwert; reboot the system. You can now log in as root without password and add a new one with passwd. __ Do you Yahoo!?

keyboard in KDE
Hello, I use Debian Woody with kde 2.2.2. I want to define a new keyboard layout and to integrate it kde (I want that my new keyboard appears in the control center in the section about keyboard). Do anyone know how to do this. The best solution I've found up to now is to use xmodmap and to disable the handling of keyboard by kde. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

stopping the printer
Hello, I cannot remove printing jobs I have submited. lprm apparently dequeued the job (after having lprm'ed the job, lpq reports that there is nothing anymore in the queue) but the printer continue to print. Turning off and on the printer does not solve the problem. Does anyone can help me. I've got Debian 2.2r4 and I use a local printer (HP Deskjet 815) locally connected to the port /dev/lp0 which I have setup up with magicfilterconfig (with the dj550c filter). I use the BSD lpr package.
