HOW-TO report a bug?
Hi, I cannot report a bug using neither reportbug nor bug. The problem is that even I have set the EMAIL environment or using the --email opt to set my from: line, the bug message sent were still using my local not-FQDN hostname hence got to be rejected by Debian's SMTP server.

X: cut-buffer and selection
[Please reply with Cc: to me, as I'm not on this list.] AFAIK, current Debian default setting for mouse button actions under X Window, is to cut and paste through `cut-buffer' (e.g. xprop -id `root-window-id`. Will use the contents of CUT_BUFFER0) How can i change this default behaviour to use `selection' instead? (e.g. CLIPBOARD, `xclipboard` will show the contents it holds.) Thank you in advance! Or, please point me a proper place to ask. Thanks! I have man'd xclipboard.

weird problems with RedHat+debian
some local messgae for folks in our LUG: I've just deleted windoze from my HD, and I'm not very sure you can receive this fucking message yet. Anyway, I need help. First, things do not seem to be such easy as I thought 5 hours ago. AT that time I'm just too excited about jianghao's show up in jingling Library, but, sigh!! Here comes the big Q: O.K. I've installed 750M RedHat on /dev/hda1, and the other part of my box is debian. I got xemacs to run to let me input chinese very well, I got the sound up under RedHat too, I will test modem tommorrow morning. Wish me good luck. The problem is that I will fail on the inner modem most probably, and due to some obscure reasons, I cannot type chinese under debian, I mean, ok, are you following me still? Thank you! I mean I cannot touch net from RedHat, and I cannot touch Chinese from debian, and I need Chinese and net both, so what's the deal? eh? Can I use the mail spool from debian to send and receive email, and I will shift to debian to send and receive email to/from the Internet, is this possible, I mean I wanna use /debian/var/spoool/mail under RedHat, is this possible? Please help! My modem conflicts with oss sound driver, and I do not wanna give up the nice /dev/audio under redhat, I use debian with modem without sound, I use redhat with sound without modem, and there's no chinese under debian while redhat can support chinese very well, and I need chinese with email aka net. O.K. I just dream to got a simple solution. I have no clue to setup the problem in the way I'm thinking: a spool not under the control of the system! The Second Q is: I could use Xfree86 with virtual desktop set to 640x1600 (exactly 640x1600, compare with 800x600, 640x480 etc), and the resolution of monitor: 640x480 under debian. But I cannot do this with AccelX (I use AccelX for RedHat), I think AccelX should do better. But AccelX only give choice of Virtual Desktop a little bigger than 1024x768, I wanna 640x1600! Any advice? (I know it it weird! Gee! 640x1600 w/S3Trio64V+ 2M and a garbage 14 monitor) The Trird Q is: I share the /home among debian and redhat, the same user I am under both systems: zhaoway. same directory. But I wanna different windowmanager. How can I achieve this? Right now, I test [ -f /etc/HOSTNAME ] to decide whether .xinitrc is under debian or under redhat. Any other solutions? and I seem to need different PS1 and some other settings different in .bashrc and/or .bash_profile for RedHat and debian. How could I achieve this? And I'd like both system share some of the libs and header files and some of the apps' binary 'cause I've only got 2.1G for 2 Linux systems! Is this possible? How much could I got to share among them? Sorry for my english! U.G.L.Y. Sorry! Hope that you could understand me! If not, I will post again, just tell me you do not understand my ugly english, then I will post again. Thank you all! -- zhaoway Member of NJLUG

kernel and modules compiling
Hello Debian-user, 20 minutes ago, I did a re-compile of the kernel and modules. I'm new to debian, have played with Linux for more than half a year. Somebody had just talking about kernel compiling here in this list: Is this easy enough? O.K., my experience: Following the instructions of README in /usr/src/linux, compiling the kernel is easy. Even with make config, since there're lot of '?'s, and my box, except the sound card, is very normal, config is not difficult. And make dep; make; cp .. /boot/.., all are very straight. Documented very well. But then modules. Following modules.txt, make modules, make modules_install are ok.. Then reboot: a lot of unresolved .! In fact, I've experienced this, so I went to /lib/modules/... did a depmod -a. My question is why this is not documented in the modules.txt? It only says depmod -a is need in init script. But seems this is not the case in my box.(?) I need do this right after modules installed. Then reboot: linear and char-major-10 and net-pf-5 trouble! I must say I'm an accomplished guesser 8), I went to /etc, do a ls, guess on the file names, bingo! vi modules, comment linear; vi conf.modules Guess again (with help of comments), uncomment net-pf-5, add a char-major-10 off. I must say I do not understand even one bit of this file. But my guess works! Hehe, My question again: why not documented? I know this surely's been documented somewhere since it's very important. But I'd like to see it in the modules.txt or modules.Debian.txt 'cause that's why I will look for the answer when compiling kernel and modules and encountering problems. I do not think I should read all of the man pages and info pages before I could say that I do not want that 700k kernel and want a 300k one. At least a link, like in the README says when do modules, read modules.txt, right? It's clear, hence easy, but not enough. Best regards, Zhaoway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
