Hi all,
My system is debian testing, I just found I lost man pages
for basic system calls, like open(), read() write() ...
Can someone tell me what is the package I need to install?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have Debian testing with kernel 2.6.12-1-386 on an IBM Thinkpad. For
some reason, ACPI is not enabled in the kernel by default. This is
unfortunate, because I cannot monitor the battery without ACPI.
How exactly do I go about configuring the kernel to enable ACPI? I am

I haven't seen any definitive answers to this one yet and I'm not sure
if the behavior is different between sarge and etch (I have etch).
After the update of sudo I didn't have any problems, but as soon as I
put the Defaults env_reset into the /etc/sudoers as suggested by the

My laptop screen is 14in 5:3 wide screen, guess that's
why things got screwed up. Now I set the display size
explicitly in xorg.conf, I am running debian testing.
No way to let the machine detect the correct DPI

The actuall font size is smaller when starting kde from command line,
than the kde font size when started from kdm. I am running debian

I noticed there is no difference in the console font size, which

As about the security concern, why is it more secure not to let root log
into X than otherwise? why is not letting root start X client after
su/sudo by default a good policy?
Because neither X nor any X applications are secure.
True, root X session over network is insecure,
but how about

Leave off the xhost line when using sudo. It inheirets the parent shell's
environment.
I did try it without xhost+ first, didn't work.
The inherit thing is default, or I need to configure it?
On my desktop, sudo -s does allow

My system is debian testing, with kde 3.4, xorg 6.8.2.
After upgradeing from kde 3.3.x to kde 3.4.2,

with flash stuff. Anyone has a clue on how
to get around without removing flash plugin?
thanks.

Hi all,
I have sarge running on a dell inspiron 8200.
In kde, I noticed something really weird:
About 1/3 screen width from the right, there
is one (maybe more) column of pixels missing.
Whenever I move a window there, I can see contents
missing in that column, no matter it is text or

I like the consistent look across kde and gtk applications offered by
this feature, but with this enabled, gnome doesn't start any more.
The first thing you should be offering people who might be able to
help you is error messages. Does ~/.xsession-errors exist
I am using sarge, both kde and gnome are installed.
I chose to use kde style and font for gtk application

then I found kde wrote the following into .gtkrc-2.0:
