Re: joe and -backpath

Hi again, I went all the way with it - scab:~$ ll -d .joe_bak/ drwxrwxrwx2 kent kent 4.0k May 11 07:10 .joe_bak/ Still get - Could not make backup file. Save anyway (y,n,^C)? I'm clueless. It shouldn't have to be executable anyway. kent It

Re: joe and -backpath

Hi Kent, I set - -backpath /home/kent/.joe_bak in /etc/joe/joerc but each time I try to edit a file and save I get - Could not make backup file. Save anyway (y,n,^C)? Just to make sure: /home/kent/.joe_bak exists and is a directory writable by you, right? I have a similar setup here

Re: joe and -backpath

Hi Kent, Try 'chmod u+x'-ing it. Works for me. HTH, Manuel

Re: Where do I pass arguments to teh Xserver?

I've been trying to track down where I pass arguments to the Xserver. I used to use OpenBSD, with xdm, and there I could tell the Xserver to not listen on tcp ( -nolisten tcp ) in /var/X11/xdm/Xserver. How do I do that in Debian? Try /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers HTH, Manuel

Re: StarOffice installation.

Hi, I'm trying to install Star Office 5.2 on Potato (2.2r2). I had problems with memory at first: not enough space on /tmp ( or, /var/tmp, for that matter). Great, I fixed that problem (Thanks to those who helped me there!). Now I get, as root or normal user: ..# ./setup /net setup:

RE: Getting to the GUI...

Hi again, Do I have any control over where startx looks? There *is* a command-line option to tell X where to look for it's configuration files (see 'man XFree86'), but IMO it is easier to just make sure that the file you want it to read is where it looks by default, i.e. in /etc/XF86Config.

RE: Getting to the GUI...

A 2x4 refers to standard size of lumber used in housing construction here in the United States. It is 2 inches by 4 inches - at least it used to be. A 1 meter long 5x10 used off the side of someone's head is a good way to get their attention!!! Ouch! Hope my

RE: Getting to the GUI...

Hi again, Thanks for the offer of help, the request files follow. Xlog.log is the output of the startx command. Please note that I edited quite a bit of XF86Cconfig to compact it. The XF86Config file looks OK to me at first glance, but are you sure that this is the one that actually gets

Re: Unidentified subject!

So I was wondering if you could tell me how to download it. Try http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/#new-inst Should tell you all you need. Regards, Manuel

RE: Getting to the GUI...

Hi Rick, (1) My only config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config. And there is a link to it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Could you post this file, please? Together with the ouput of X you provided, it should enable us all to fix your problem. Best regards, Manuel

Re: dselect does not offer CD as an install choice, why?

Hi again, Another candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs in (no need to mount them) and issuing 'apt-cdrom add'. This should put them into your apt sources.list. Then select 'apt' as access metod from dselect. nfs, floppy ftp, and apt. Let me try that. Mmm,

Re: dselect does not offer CD as an install choice, why?

Hi Stan, Problem is now when I go inot dselect and take choice 1, I am not offered the choice of installing from the CD's. Which choices *are* you offered. I get cdrom as the first option. Another candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs in (no need to mount them) and issuing

Re: free and contrib

Hi Dominique, is it possible to build a fourth CD, containing non free debian packages in addition to the 3 official potato CDs in a format suitable to dselect, of course. There are unofficial CD-images of various non-free stuff for potato available from

Re: Still No Cursor in X About to give up!!

Hi! Sorry, I did not follow this thread from the beginning, and maybe this has already been proposed or ruled out, but could it be a problem with your graphics card? I had the square white box cursor problem once on an ELSA Winner 1000 T3D and got rid of it by disabling the hardware cursor.

RE: IBM http server : not on Debian ?

The IBM http server is only downloadable in tar.gz file wich contains nothing but .rpm packages. Have you tried converting them to .debs with alien? This should handle dependencies automatically, if I'm not mistaken. Hope to help, Manuel

RE: IBM http server : not on Debian ?

well i didn't bother, on a previous occasion it failed because the packages were to new ... But trying can't hurt, can it? I'd try it myself, but IBM wants one to register for the download. Good luck! Manuel
