My question is: are the linux-* source files modified when made in to kernel-source-*.deb files? Yes. Go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.6.9 and read the More information section. There you can see that kernel-source-2.6.9 consists of [kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9.orig.tar.gz] which is identical to linux-2.6.9.tar.gz from kernel.org, and [kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9-1.diff.gz] which are the debian-specific modifications to the source package. Will the linux-* source files compile and build properly using the kernel-package tools? They should compile just fine. If so, I'd like to use the higher rev linux-* source files, rather than wait for them to show up on the unstable sites as kernel-source-*.deb files. No need to. There are only experimental sources on kernel.org and 2.6.9 is the latest stable version (which is also available as kernel-source.deb).

I'm too stupid to use find, can someone help me out, please?
Hi everybody
I'd like to delete all symbolic links in a directory. I thought I'm
smart and use find for that instead of doing it manually. OK. The find
man page says (snipped):
-type c
File is of type c:
l symbolic link
So far so good.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/$ find . -type l
shows me all symbolic links. Great. Read further:
-exec command ;
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned. All following
arguments to find are taken to be arguments to the
command until an argument consisting of `;' is encountered.
The string `{}' is replaced by the current file name being
processed everywhere it occurs in the arguments to the command,
not just in arguments where it is alone, as in some versions of
find. Both of these constructions might need to be escaped
(with a `\') or quoted to protect them from expansion by the
shell. The command is executed in the starting directory.
This is not so clear anymore. But I think I understand that
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/$ find . -type l -exec rm {};
should do what I want. But I get an error message saying
find: Missing argument for -exec.
Huh? Why? I then started quoting the {} and the ; with backslashes and '
but without success. So, please, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
joerg

man pages are subtle! Notice until an argument of consisting of ';' is

find . -type l -exec rm {} \;

Mouse wheel does not work with kernel 2.6.x
Hi everybody This is a bit strange to me, and I don't exactly know how to track the problem down. Here are the symptoms: I have a logitech USB mouse which works great using 2.4 kernels. With exactly the same setup in X, the same mouse attached to the same computer works still, but only the three buttons: scrolling the wheel doesn't do anything, pressing it works as paste like it should. Obviously it can't be the X configuration which is faulty, because it still works when I boot back to 2.4. Also the kernel configuration should be OK, because otherwise the mouse wouldn't work at all. snippets from some (maybe) interesting files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep MOUSE /boot/config-2.4.23 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768 # CONFIG_BUSMOUSE is not set CONFIG_MOUSE=y CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y # CONFIG_82C710_MOUSE is not set # CONFIG_MK712_MOUSE is not set [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep HID /boot/config-2.4.23 # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep MOUSE /boot/config-2.6.7 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=y # CONFIG_MOUSE_VSXXXAA is not set [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep HID /boot/config-2.6.7 # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y # CONFIG_HID_FF is not set CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y # CONFIG_USB_PHIDGETSERVO is not set 8 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Section InputDevice Identifier USB Mouse Driver mouse Option Device/dev/input/mouse0 Option SendCoreEventstrue Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Buttons 5 EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier XFree86 Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard InputDevicePS/2 Mouse CorePointer InputDeviceUSB Mouse CorePointer InputDevicecursor AlwaysCore InputDevicestylus AlwaysCore InputDeviceeraser AlwaysCore EndSection 8 Any hints greatly appreciated.

Re: [OT] List of dates from evolutions calendar
Hi again this script is exactly what I wanted. Only one problem: It freezes on dates containing non-ASCII characters, especially . Any idea how I could solve this? Apparently this is not a problem with the script, but with the file encoding. The console freezes on this character even when I just do a cat calendar.ics. This was a quick solution to a problem. These lines would have to be smarter: my $day = substr( $xx, 6, 2 ); my $hour = substr( $xx, 9, 2 ); If I knew exactly where the gs were happening I could fix it. It also might a good exersize for you. :) What gs? Furthermore, .ics from evolution is not equal to .ics from korganizer. If I use the evolution Calendar.ics file, all dates are timed 5 pm - 5 pm, while after importing them to korganizer/export them as .ics again, it works (apart from the problem). Strange. I'm 7 hours away from you and I wanted local time. Change the following line: my $zone = 7; to reflect your time zone and you will have local time also. This is not even necessary, as the time is stored in local time from evolution. The problem is: the DTSTART and DTEND lines contain information about the timezone in the evolution, but not in the korganizer file version: Evolution: DTSTART;TZID=/softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/Europe/Berlin: 20040516T143000 korganizer: DTSTART:20040516T143000Z Therefore the pattern matching in your script does not work on the evolution file: It must not match the string after DTSTART, but the string on the line after the line beginning with DTSTART (and now tell me how to express that in perl... ;) ). joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

I'm using Debian GNU Linux for my own Linux system ( even I'm a newbie and some people says Debian's only for the 'Gurus', somehow, I've never get interested into another distro ), and when I found some packages outside debian package system, I usually use alien to convert it to .deb.

But if you want to find out if a certain program / library is present in your distribution, you should consult the apt-cache program: apt-cache search program will search all package descriptions for program, and will spit out a list of packages where the description contains the string program.

The best way to do this is to start your x session under ssh-agent; for example, the default debian Xsession scripts on my machine have me running /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-window-manager. Do you have a local ~/.Xsession? If not, you should try to figure out why the system-wide one on your system is not running ssh-agent (check /etc/X11/Xsession.options for a line that says 'use-ssh-agent'). If so, it's probably just a matter of invoking ssh-agent properly in your X session. Hmmm. I don't have ~/.Xsession, and in /etc/X11/Xsession.option the use-ssh-agent line is present.

Yes, that works. So ssh-agent is at least not broken... The reason is that ssh-agent sets up environment variables that all of its child processes inherit.

Even worse: I have to enter my passPHRASE for the key... Aaargh. Is this because ssh-agent doesn't listen to me? Yes, I'd say that this is better, not worse. You've gotten key-based authentication working; now it's just a matter of setting up your agent properly. I poked around a bit and changed my /etc/gdm/Sessions/Icewm. It now contains exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/icewm and now it works. But I still don't know why the global Xinitrc is not used.

Re: dselect-upgrade vs dist-upgrade
Am Di, den 04.11.2003 schrieb Benedict Verheyen um 10:55: Hi, when cloning a system via the dpkg --get-selection, dpkg --set-selection method, it's advised to do a apt-get dselect-upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade. I do not understand why. From the man page (man apt-get): dselect-upgrade dselect-upgrade is used in conjunction with the traditional Debian packaging front-end, dselect(8). dselect-upgrade follows the changes made by dselect(8) to the Status field of available packages, and performs the actions necessary to realize that state (for instance, the removal of old and the installation of new packages). dist-upgrade dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new ver- sions of packages; apt-get has a smart conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important pack- ages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_prefer- ences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages. In short: dist-upgrade looks which INSTALLED packages need to be upgraded, including new dependencies, while dselect-upgrade looks which packages you want to (un-)install. Also, if you would use aptitude, what would be the correct way of doing this? Don't use aptitude. I tried it out and found it in no way more user-friendly than dselect itself (and dselect is a real PITA to use). Just do it on the command line, and if you need a menu-based tool, use synaptic (it's GTK-based). joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Fonts in gtk programs (mozilla, evolution etc)
Hi everybody I'm using mozilla for browsing, and evolution for mailing and some other gtk programs. I have a high resolution laptop lcd and so I need large font sizes to read without my eyes getting tired. As far as I understand, I have to change the font settings in the gnome control center: As soon as I set all fonts to 14pt there, everything is fine, at least as long as I use gnome. But I don't like gnome as a desktop environment (I use plain IceWM), and without starting gnome-session or gnome-control-center, the fonts in gtk apps stay small (I don't know what the default size is, must be 10 or so). So long story short question: How do I make the font size change permanent WITHOUT gnome-session? This is also of interest for the gdm login screen...

Thanx. Hi Egor From the convert manpage (imagemagick): To create a MNG animation from a DNA molecule sequence, use: convert -delay 20 dna.* dna.mng So if you have the files dna.001.png up to dna.050.png, it will create an animation with 20 milliseconds delay between the images. I'm not sure if this is what you want... joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: flphoto program to deb?

The trick is to have all the right USB modules loaded, and pass a fudged command line to gphoto2 (trick it into thinking it's a different camera) Try gphoto2 --usbid 0x4a9:0x3073=0x4a9:0x3056 --camera Canon Powershot S40 -P This causes all the photos to be downloaded to the current directory. Note that while retrieving photos works fine, other functions like remote capture aren't guaranteed to work correctly with the A70 under Linux. I found this information on this page: http://pto.linuxbog.dk/Canon_PowerShot_A70_Linux I didn't manage to get the hotplug usermap thing going, so I just have a little script to run that command I mentioned earlier when I want to upload photos. Ah, this comes two days too late. My parents were here to see me on sunday, and I wanted to get the photos out of my father's A70. I had to boot Windows for that... Next time I will show him Linux can do that as well... joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Looking for more Debian packages
On Tuesday 29 July 2003 15:28, Jianan Huang wrote: Hi folks My Linux system is basically working. I am looking at ways to enhance it. 1) I read about disk boot problem in the mail list. Right now I boot from a floppy. My machine BIOS can only boot from the C drive or the floppy. I use D drive for my Linux. If my floppy fails to boot, I may have to re-build a whole new system. It would be wise to have an image copy of the whole floppy as a backup. Is there a utility to create a binary image of a Linux floppy? I have looked at fdutils. It doesn't help. If you are using LILO to boot from Hard Disk, you will want to have something like that in you /etc/lilo.conf # snip here # Tells lilo to install itself to the MBR boot=/dev/hda #Tells lilo where to look for the linux / filesystem: root=/dev/hdb1 default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=Windows # snip here This is very minimal. You should read /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz to know how to tweak this. 2) I have read about Linux BIOS. I believe BIOS is another area of software that has to open up. Does Debian have one, and come with source code too? If you don't have a very deep understanding of what using Linux BIOS will do to your box, DON'T try it. 3) Does Debian support freehand writing devices such as Wacom electronics pad? I'm talking about the device driver as well as application packages such as freehand editing for documentation and emailing, freehand drawing etc. I use an old Wacom Artpad (serial port) to draw from within the GIMP. It supports pressure. I don't know if there exists a freehand font recognition program (I don't think so). joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thoughts about my mail setup
Hi everybody. Yesterday, I tried to read mail from my IMAP account via modem. This was horribly slw. So I thought about my mail setup again. I know that I could store my IMAP mails locally (fetch them once only) with offlineimap. At the moment I am using kmail for my three mail-accounts: Two POP3-accounts on gmx.de and one IMAP account on web.de. I have read the man page of offlineimap and saw the remark that it does not work together with kmail, but it can be used together with a locally running imap server (courier). So, what do you think about such a setup: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - fetched by kmail, sent through smtp.gmx.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] - fetched by kmail, sent through smtp.gmx.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] - fetched by offlineimap - fetched from local imap by kmail, sent to local imap folder, synchronized by offlineimap Does this make sense? And no, baloo, I do NOT want to use mutt/exim.. thanks joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
