Updating Gnome menu without logout/login
Hello All, I have the following problem with my sarge installation: When I install a new desktop application and if it has a correspondent item in a menu, I can see it in debian menu but not in my gnome menu before I logout and login again. Is there any way to update gnome menu without logout/login or executing any command? It's not very "production critical" issue, however it would be very nice to have this functionality.

Try the Alacarte menu editor. It speaks directly to gconf and this updates your Gnome menus immediately. Cheers, Hello Greg, I can't find alacarte in sarge and I'd like to stay in sarge and not upgrade to unstable/testing if possible. So waiting for other solutions. Thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Best Regards, George Do you have fam or gamin installed and running? IIRC one of those is required for the behaviour you require, at least in the case of Sarge. The brute-force solution is simply to kill gnome-panel (don't worry, gnome-session will restart it): pkill gnome-panel But that could cause consternation in a multi-user environment :-) Seems fam partially fixed the problem (I have installed gnome-games for testing purposses, menu didn't update before logout/login, however it updated as soon as I install gqview). I'll try to do some more tests and let you know. Thank you very much for your helpfull tip. Best Regards, George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mismatch between UCD-SNMP-MIB and free
Hello, I am using up2date Debian etch with 2.6.21.5 kernel and snmpd 5.2.3-7. I am trying to monitor total free memory through snmp.

MCP73 Ethernet not supported by forcedeth module
Hello, Recently I've got a mainboard with MCP73 chipset (don't have model info, however I can provide it later if required) and would like to use onboard network card. I have installed 2.6.18-6 and seems it's forcedeth module doesn't support this chipset. The following link was very helpful: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=73925 however, driver mentioned in this thread also didn't work. I have downloaded kernel sources starting from 2.6.21 up to 2.6.25 and found that this chipset is supported in 2.6.23 and above. I tried to compile forcedeth.c found in 2.6.23 according to instructions found in above thread but got compile time errors which means this driver is not compatible with my kernel headers. I don't like to change my kernel, I'd like to build the correct version of forcedeth.c for my instock kernel, but I can't find any. Is there any backported forcedeth.c driver for 2.6.18-6 kernel which supports MCP73 chipset? Thanks in advance, George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Identify PCI/PCI-X/AGP devices nature
Hello, Is it possible to find out what kind of PCI/PCI-X/AGP device is installed on a PC? (CentOS/RedHat bases boxes).

FAT: Filesystem panic
Hello, I'v got 2 boxes running squeeze and lenny, both up to date. On a box with squeeze, I copied 1.8G images to a 2G flash drive and tried to move them to my lenny box.

Re: Installing Squeeze: Cannot choose time zone (two issues)

While installing Squeeze I do not have the choice of a time zone for Israel, only US time zones. The installer mentions that to display other time zones I must change language. This is absurd. Issue Two: When I go back and choose the Hebrew language, I _still_ do not get an option for an Israeli time zone. The time zones available have switched from seven or eight US time zones to (translated from Hebrew) "US", "Mexico", "Saint Peter and Miklon", and "Canada".

debugfs on RAID volume
Hello, (It's not debian related question, but general linux question so maybe someone has a clue) I have removed a number of files yesterday on one of my boxes (RH 7.3) and now would like to recover them. I have used debugfs before without a problem but now it's different situation: actually there are 2 HDD's and RAID 1 between them. So the output of mount looks like this: ... /dev/md0 on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/md1 on /alpha type ext3 (rw,usrquota) ... deleted files are under /alpha. The output of /proc/mdstat: md0 : active raid1 hda1[0] 5116544 blocks [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 hda2[0] 30716160 blocks [2/1] [U_] I have removed one of HDD's to recover files from, while another HDD is still running. So back to debugfs: #/sbin/debugfs /dev/hda1 debugfs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) debugfs: lsdel Inode Owner ModeSizeBlocks Time deleted 0 deleted inodes found. debugfs: q # nothing found. /sbin/debugfs /dev/md1 debugfs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) debugfs: lsdel ... 2046601 0 20660 01/ 1 Tue Jul 19 18:27:11 2005 ... 2964 deleted inodes found. all inodes are dated Jul 19 while I have deleted my files yesterday, so seems debugfs can't work directly with /dev/md1, neither with /dev/hda1. What is the right way to recover files in such situation? I have tried to recover files using R-Linux for windows and it discovered deleted folders fine while failed on deleted files inside this folders. If debugfs can't do the job, which utility can be used? Thanks in advance, -- George Chelidze -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
