I unwittingly went for the bare bones install as last time I installed lot
of junk checking quite a few options, now some of the essential tools I am
used to are missing, I cannot connect to the internet as network manager is
not installed, is there any other way I can connect to mobile
Hi,
Yes, why not, they can enter to the whitelist if they operate right ;-)
Ahh, I forget about smartphones! All of these devices (specially iPhones
and Blackberries) should go to the blacklist unless they can be
configured to avoid the top-posting style :-)
KMail works fine, as far as I
Hi,
we went with a VM, however it turned out the network connection is a
bottleneck - as it seems, distcc can only be used properly in a LAN, not
through the internet.
Kind regards,

Hi list,
I am trying to use a friend's machine as distcc daemon, since it has much more
CPU power than my poor laptop. However distcc fails to compile stuff on his
machine, which I assume is because I am using Debian testing and GCC 4.6, and
he is on Debian stable and GCC 4.4

What Debian release are you running? $ cat /etc/issue

OK. You must be mixing sources (hopefully with judicious pinning).

Hi,
When I update this morning (wheezy one but with sid fglrx-driver), the
xserver-xorg-core was updated.
my fglrx-driver was removed,
when I tried to install, it's reported:

avaiable.
then I checked package
Hi,
M-G is usually short for Meta-G, or Meta+G. Meta is one of those
keys that makes sense from a software point of view, but almost no-one
has one on their keyboard. It will be emulated in one of two ways;
either hold down Alt, press g, then release Alt or press Esc,
then within a couple of
Hi,
Actually, from what I was told, many keyboards have that Meta key - it is
usually labelled with a Windows logo.
I thought the Windows logo key was usually the SUPER key?
Uh... I don't know. Qt and KDE call it Meta. E.g. my shortcut to lock the
screen is Meta+L, windows key plus L.

Compile from upstream sources? Wait until all of the above problems are

There are debian packages available at http://dev.carbon-

Hi,
To each his own. If you're happy with make deb-pkg, then use it.
I still prefer make-kpkg because of its greater flexibility. (I only
get a headers package if I ask for one, for example. Most of the
time I don't need one.) I also like the ease with which one can
change the kernel

Xorg is running and you need it to re-read the configuration file again

You need to run

It's not doing any black magic and it never touches the configuration.

No, since I compile by self written scripts and I have to run make

since upgrading from Kubuntu (10.10) to Debian testing, I am noticing that a

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply!
One thing you could do is to run acpi -b when the weird occurrences
happen, and see if that is in tune with what the battery monitor
shows. When on ac, acpi -b should return blank, but when on battery,
it should display some information on the battery life
Hi,
Settings applied from the xrandr applet can be stored in a file at your
home user's profile so they are kept after booting and set as soon as you
login (at least this is how it works in GNOME).

Why not use Synaptic? Just because you use KDE

From the reporter POV, I'd say it is justified to report anything we

about that, devels and packagers take the appropiate steps, that is, if
