Woody Lilo problem
Hi, I just updated my debian woody (testing) installation with dselect and when it tries to install the new lilo-version, I get the following errors: Configuring packages ... /var/lib/debconf//config.1295: /usr/sbin/lilo_find_mbr: No such file or directory lilo failed to configure, with exit code 127 Use of uninitialized value at /var/lib/debconf//config.1295 line 64, STDIN chunk 3. Use of uninitialized value at /var/lib/debconf//config.1295 line 94, STDIN chunk 7. Is that a known problem or could it be that I have an SCSI-system?

Debian KDE philosophy
As I read in some postings (slashdot.org and several other mailing lists) debian is planning not to distribute KDE (and qt) anymore. Could anyone tell me the reason why kde should not be distributed via the non-free-tree (ftp)... Netscape is available as well (and this is software what I call NONFREE in terms of GPL). What about a kde-installer.deb-package? What annoyes (sp?) me is that people say Linux needs a nice workspace - and for me, kde is one - and then say, well, kde is nice, but not free and therefore we dont want to distribute it. I dont want to start a flamewar here, maybe somebody could explain technical or legal-reasons to me. Thank you, Gernot P.S.: I dont know if this is the right place to ask - if not, maybe we could solve this via email and not via the debian-user-list.

Re: Starting KDE Desktop
Hi there, I am new to Linux and have a little problem with my kde desktop. -How can I start kde without starting it from the X- Windows Desktop? - I want to start kde while booting. How does it work? What about the login ? I start it with the line: exec startkde /dev/null 2/dev/null in my .xsession file (I also get rid of all debugging-info...). No login-term needed.

Dselect: Obsolete packages really obsolete?
Hi, Deselect tells me that there are obsolete packages in my debian system (I use stable contrib non-free bo). One of the obsolete packages is the modules-package. When I try to remove it, Debian tells me that I use a modular kernal and the modules-package cant be removed... Why is it listed as obsolete then?

I just discovered the same problem. Just untar all the *.nif-files with
the tar zxvf file.nif-command (and NOT with the gzip -dc file | tar
-xf - as written in the README.install) then do the registration as
shown in the README.install by hand. Thats all.
Btw. you should be in the target-directory (I guess
/usr/local/netscape).
Hope it helps, Gernot

Or read everything you type, inluding passwords. Doing xhosts + in response to an Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key is pretty much the equivalent of making all files writable by anyone (chmod -R ugo+w /) and setting all the passwords to in response to a permission denied error when trying to access a file. Anyone that can get to your machine can now do pretty much anything they want to it. So, unless your machine is never connected to any kind of network, it's definitely a *bad* idea. And the Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key message that other users get when trying to connect to your X server is definitely a *feature* (enclosed in stars) as opposed to a feature (enclosed in quotes). If you trust everyone who has a login on your machine, do xhost +local: instead of xhost +. This will allow only non-network, local connections to your X server. [snip] Ooops, thanx for these hints.
