Default Color Depth in X (was Re: Helix Gnome vs Debian Gnome -- worth the upgrade?)
this! Anyway I prefer to start X from a command prompt so's I can specify the colour depth. Swerving completely off topic here, but I see a lot of people do this. But if you don't like the default color depth that X comes up in, did you know you can change the default? I have the following line in my XF86Config in the Screen section: DefaultColorDepth 16 Which does what it says it does. Sets the default color depth to 16. Means I can enjoy the benefits of a graphical login without hacking startx or typing startx -- -bpp 16 all the time. Just a random note.

Weird slow network problem...
This has to be one of the weirdest networking problems I've come across. A friend running Debian can transfer files on the local network at normal 10mbit speeds. However as soon as he tries to transfer stuff from outside the local net, transfer speeds drop to 30kB/s bursts as opposed to the 300-600kB/s continuous stream locally. The weirdest part about this is that he has identical network card (RTL-8029, using the ne2k-pci driver), identical kernel (2.2.11), identical Debian install (potato as of yesterday) and identical config (except for the IP address of course :). I have no problems transferring files at full speed both locally and externally, he does. Anyone have any ideas?

XScreensaver locks up whole system.
Just came back from watching TV to note that my X session had locked up and was unresponsive. The last thing on screen was the graphics displayed by the penetrate screensaver when it changes levels. Went to a friends machine connected on the same network to ping mine and try and telnet in to kill X. Nothing. No response to pings. Went back to my machine and tried using the magic sysreq keys. Nothing. Hit the reset switch. System rebooted with no complaints (apart from standard fsck stuff). Nothing odd in the syslogs. Decided to run X and then run the penetrate screensaver to see if that was it. System produced the same symptoms as soon as the screensaver changed levels. So this is reproducible on my system. Anyone else seen this? I'm running xscreensaver 3.17-2, Linux 2.2.10 (custom compile that's been rock solid since I compiled it on June 16) and all the latest potato stuff.

To this affect I entered the following lines: ipportfw -A -tXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/6060 -R 192.168.2.3/2401 ipportfw -A -uXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/6060 -R 192.168.2.3/2401 Before I was doing portforwarding on 6060 when I telnet to that port on my box I get the message telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused. AFTER I add port forwarding on 6060 I get telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out. The transactions are starting, they just aren't finishing. My pet theory is that this port forwarding thing isn't dealing with masquerading of the returned packets, but like I said, I'm pretty clueless with this. Any help appreciated! Jonathan Lupa ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Near as I can tell, that should work. I've only used the port forwarding patches in a very limited fashion, but similar lines have worked for all services I've tried. One thing I can think of is (and this is based on a very hazy grasp of what ipmasq and ipportfw are actually doing) is that that the cvspserver is trying to create another connection channel back to the originating server and that isn't working for some reason. Anybody know if cvspserver does that (like the control and data ports in ftp)? Another possibility is that ipportfw doesn't like rewriting ports (although I'm almost certain that does work). Have you tried just passing port 2401 one along as opposed to rewriting 6060 down to 2401? Wish I could help you better.

Does this sound feasible? To the best of my knowledge port forwarding wasn't available in stock 2.0.x kernels. There MIGHT however be a patch to provide port forwarding, but I don't know whether it really exists. There is a patch available. You can find it here http://www.ox.compsoc.org.uk/~steve/portforwarding.html I think it's packaged somewhere in the Debian distribution... *checks package listing* yes it is. You can find it here: http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/net/ipportfw.html Hope that helps Dan
Re: More problems w/ EXIM upgrade

When ever I try to send a message from within mutt, I get: 'Error sending message, child exited 127 ().' And the message is not sent. So I went and looked in /etc/Muttrc and fooled with the 'set sendmail' line, but that didn't do me any good. Does anyone no how to get mutt to work with exim again? TIA, Bill Van Devender I had the same problem with that upgrade. Somebody else posted a solution to the mutt problem that I'll reiterate here. Mutt is looking for a sendmail binary in /usr/bin but can't find it. Quick and dirty solution is to make a symlink ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin/sendmail which should fix it. Dunno how to properly fix it though. Dan -- Dan Everton [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Have you tried thinking like a shower? www.psynet.net/fada | KBHR's Chris in the Morning

Segfault with SVGAlib utils
I've sent a message to this list about this before but received no reply. I'm trying again. Everytime I attempt to run some utilities (gs4.03, tmview, etc.) I get a segfault with signal 11. I have no idea what this means and I'm completely confused because some other utilities (zgv and lockvc) work fine. I'm runnning Debian 1.3, on Cirrus Logic GD5420 (or something like that) with 512k video ram. Any help much appreciated.

Segfault 11 with SVGALib Utils
Every time I attempt to run a program that uses the SVGA lib it dies with a segfault 11. I'm running Debain 1.3, kernel 2.0.30, with the latest SVGA lib off the Debian ftp site, on a Cirrus Logic GLD5420 (or something close to that, it's old anyway) with 512k ram. Any clues welcome, Thanks in advance Dan (big) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Infinity welcomes careful drivers -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
