Re: Debian and VMWare
First, make sure you have enough memory (if you assign 512mb to the VM, have at least 512mb available for each instance of the VM you want to run + what you need for your deb install + some spare memory). Secondly, create the whole disk at once (do not use the ´incremental option´, or however it´s called, which sizes your disk on the fly). These are the two most important perfomance factors in my experience. If you take care of this, VM´s will run at about native speed. Good luck!

If you're new to Debian or any Linux distro, you will have to do a bit of reading a bit of asking and then a bit of tweaking. Taking Linux Debian as an example, install stable, Sarge in this case, and then check out the problems and try to discover why they are being caused. In my own case, I started with Woody, but it wouldn't touch some of the hardware in my lappy. So then moved to Sarge while it was testing, and discovered what had to be done to get the system up and running, and then moved it to Etch, another testing. Where things get broken, but you either have to have the patience to be able to work around something till the next upgrade stream, or learn the way to fix it yourself. Linux Debian is a philosophy I think. Not a geeks distro, but rather an lifelong learning experience. You are always embarrassed by the options available in Debian. But if you're set in your ways, won't use Lyx, Abiword, or something else when OpenOffice.org doesn't cut it for you before the next update stream in testing. Stay in stable and look at backports. When you get everything working on your system, in Debian, you have already gleaned a great deal of knowledge about your system and the way Debian works. Then you hit testing and "laffs at things broken for a little while." If you only want a stable system that works a treat, then you want any Debian stable system, and if it doesn't work with your hardware to do all you want. Run your system through a testing version of Debian till it all works, and stay there if you feel comfortable with it. There are quite a few people still running Debian Woody, because they know it and it works. New hardware or something else might move them on. But it will always be their own choice to do something that also requires the shift. There is no best system in Linux, there is only what you want to do, how you want to do it, and your outlook on life. I am certain that Fedora is also very good. I don;t think their is a bad Linux system, or none that I have tried at any rate. But Debian suits me best, because it suits my character. Your speech for the defense of Debian ( and fo linux in general) is very good and I agree with you, but we are not culprit to use Debian. I think that the builders of laptops have a big respnsability in the fact that the free OS have problem with the laptops. For example I look at an acer laptop: acer writes : acer recommand Windows XP. I phoned to acer (in France) and when I prononced the word linux my correspondent hang up ... The world of linux (free) isn't free in the "world said as free" ! -- Gérard

I think that my question was not very clear.
timerest3.pl in fact is a subroutine in a little script Perl that I wrote
myself ( I am not a student who expect that others do his work :-))
In that subroutine I wrote
..
while ($i < 6) {
print "\e[0;46;31m", 5-$i, "\e[0m";
`sleep 1`; # the sleep of the shell
print "\r";
...
If i use the sleep of Perl there nothing is displayed at though with the sleep
of the shell the numbers 5 4 3 2 1 0 are displayed as I want.
And, I don't understand why the sleep of Perl doesn't work ?
I think it is not coherent to use the sleep of the shell whereas Perl has such
function. And I tried to write this function in C to rewrite my program in
C . but the C function sleep in C works like in Perl ...
But I accept that my problem is irrelevant with the list debian-user.
I apologise for having disturb you.
Thanks.

bash, perl, C
Hello,
can someone explain to me if it is possible that the functions sleep of C and
Perl work like the function sleep of bashin this scripts and program:
Bash:
#timerest1.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "The processus will start in 5 seconds"
echo
i=0
for i in `seq 6`; do
echo -ne "\e[0;46;31m $[ 6-$i ]\e[0m" ;
sleep 1
echo -en "\r"
done
echo
C:
#timerest2.c
#include
#include
int main()
{
unsigned i;
printf("The processus will start in 5 seconds\n");
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
printf("\e[0;46;31m%d\e[0m", 5 - i);
sleep(1);
printf("\r");
}
printf("...\n");
return 0;
}
Perl:
#timeresr3.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "The processus will start in 5 seconds\n";
my $i= 0;
print "\n";
while ( $i < 6 ) {
print "\r";
# print " "x40;
print "\e[0;46;31m",5 - $i,"\e[0m " ;
sleep 1;
$i++;
}
print "...\n";

modem for potato
Hello, I installed potato on an old 486 for a friend. I can send and recieve mails, and browse the web. I used an extern "US ROBOTIC 56 FAX/MODEM", which is mine and I tried other modems for my friend and they don't work.

Re: exim4 doesn't connect to smarthost
I just struggled with this for a few hours, found and solved the problem, and thought I'd post a response to explain what (I think) is going on in your situation. Exim (at least, exim4) in its infinite wisdom, caches transport "hints" in its retry and wait_transport databases. When my smarthost went down for a decently long period of time, my exim installation cached that information and didn't even bother checking to see if it was up, which is why you see no connections using tcpdump. The solution: Exim comes with three utilities for managing the hints caches, called exim_dumpdb, exim_tidydb, and exim_fixdb. The exim_dumpdb program displays the contents of the cache, exim_tidydb removes old entries, and exim_fixdb recovers corrupt caches. Check the man page for more info. The one you'll need is most likely exim_tidydb, to remove the out-of-date entries. I ran it with an argument of one second, to effectively remove all of them (they'll be recreated on demand). After that, everything magically started working.

I have joined the pdftohtml-general list and I obtained part of the solution: We have to copy the file /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc in our home directoty (.xpdfrc)and add int it the line: unicodeMap Latin2 /usr/share/xpdf/latin2/Latin2.unicodeMap After that, we must launch the command: pdftohtml -enc Latin2 file.pdf Normaly we expected a file: file.html, but I obtained : segmentation fault ;-) I tried again pdftohtml -c -enc Latin2 file.pdf and then it works. The result was better than with the command: pdftohtml file.pdf, but it was not perfect yet: The accents are almost right except the è and the ê and the underline (image.png) which was not in the right place. The user of the list pdftohtml-general who helped me was surprised that the command: pdftohtml -enc Latin2 file.pdf gave me segmentation fault whereas for him this command worked fine. He wondered if it was my OS (unstable) which had problem ?

This package has been put together to allow people to easily build a qmail binary package for themselves, from source. To build a binary deb package, first install the qmail-src package, then type the command "build-qmail".

This package builds a binary .deb that is FHS compliant and conforms to the Debian standards guidelines. The resulting binary packages are not suitable for re-distribution. There are pre-compiled binary packages for qmail available, but they do not conform to the Debian standards, and are not available in the official archive.

I used the unstable version of gcj and kaffe and I guessed that was this

I removed gcj and kaffe and reinstalled the woody packages and now all

Thanks for your advices. I have encountered problems with kernel 2.8.6 and xmms which worked fine as root but not as user. I posted a question about this to the list xmms-dev and their reply was: change the permission of /dev/hdc. The permission origine of /dev/hdc was 660, I put it to 644 and now xmms works fine for the users. It's a problem with gtk whilst cdcd have no problem. It works fine for the users with 660 for /dev/hdc. (and 4755 for cdcd) I tried to put 4755 to xmms but I received a protest of gtk. ( reason of security: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html ) Now I have upgraded with kernel 2.9.1 and the problem of permission with xmms are identical.

plugin with mozilla
Hello, first I am sorry to have sent 2 idiot messages on the list, it was an error on my part. I have a problem with mozilla-browser 1.7.3-5 : certain site (http://www.franceinter.com) asks me to install the plugin "flash". I donwloaded the tarball "install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz". My question is: can'I compile this file (in /usr/local/) and installed it without causing any damage to my system ? Thanks for any advice. -- Gerard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't have any error messages, like devices unavailable or like that, and your user is in the audio group, maybe you only need to raise the volume, so you can try it installing a mixer package... (this is only a guess) To pass some configuring options to your soundcard (what options depends on your brand or model) IIRC you can add them on your /etc/modutils file. Andrea Thanks for the feedback, I already have a mixer, and it does not work, I think may be I have the wrong driver installed. Is posible load a driver even if this one is not the correct? I am trying other thing right now I did this #cat file.wav >/dev/audio Device or resource busy any idea. Thanks again. -- Sergio Basurto J.

Re: Sound card troubles
debian wrote: Hello, Sound or no sound, that's the question! I have a computer :) with debian and kernel 2.6.9 There is also a SB PCI64 in the computer so i compiled the kernel for that card. (Creative) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1371/1373 When my computer boots i see this with dmesg: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.6 (Sun Aug 15 07:17:53 2004 UTC) PCI: Found IRQ9 for device :00:10.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with :00:07.2 Alsa device list: #0: Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0x1000, irq9 So i thought that this has to do it but appearantly there is more needed. When i perform a cat /dev/sndstat i get Cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device So i really wondering how i can get this to work. I also installed via apt-get the alsa base and the mixer and when i run alsaconf i get NO SUPPORTED PnP OR PCI CARD FOUND I tried other PCI slots but i don't think i have to search in that direction. Help plz! Cheers, Phil. You do not mention whether you have (as root) run: modprobe snd-ens1371 Then adjust the levels via a mixer.

Re: Question about compiling the kernel
Lian Liming wrote: Hi all, This is a newbie's question about compiling kernel on debian. I follow the steps to compile the kernel: 1) download the kernel source file; 2) use "menuconfig" to choose the compile options; 3) use "make-kpkg buildpackage -rev Custom.1 kernel_image" to generate .deb file 4) install the kernel by "dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.6_Custom.1_i386.deb" This process may take a long time. My question is that if i want to change the compile options after having install the kernel. For example, i want to add some modules for the kernel. Is it necessary for me to process the whole above four steps? Or is there any simple way to do this? Thank you for suggestions!

Re: Need direction on alsa/oss sound.
Randall Smith wrote: I'm running Debian Unstable and am very confused about how to set up the sound properly. Sound generally works, but it seems a mess with OSS this and ALSA that and esd and arts and so on. When I pull up the gnome mixer, it has an oss tab and an alsa tab. Do I need both? Both of them change the system's sound. On a seperate note, I tried to record from microphone to a wave file using the rec program. After fiddling with the mixer, I was able to record, but there was always background noise on playback even though I didn't hear the noise through my headphones while recording. I got frustrated and quit (for now). I'm generally confused about sound on linux oss/alsa/esd/arts... Can someone recommend a good source to help me understand it better? Thanks.
