Help with menu configuration for Debian + WM
Well.. I've changed my window manager from WindowMaker to blackbox with very little problems (the thing i miss most about WindowMaker is the ctrl+esc window configuration menu. It was keyboard shortcuts until I read the README and found that they could be supplied by a package [handily in .deb format] named bbkeys from http://movingparts.windsofstorm.net/bbkeys.shtml that has it's own config utility!), BUT. Now I have to do some custom configuration with the Debian menu. I had 2 menu problems using WindowMaker but could work around them by using the app-dock. Since I no longer have that luxury I will now have to grapple with them, namely Opera 5.0 (installed from source) and licq (from .deb). I expect a missing menu entry from Opera but not from licq (I've had it on other installs), it has an entry in /usr/lib/menus/ (though it was named licq-ssl which is installed as well) that is as follows: ?package(licq): needs=X11 section=Apps/Net\ title=licq command=/usr/bin/licq and should be included in a update-menus when run as root but will not show up in the menu. I have since read the documentation, compared it with other entries in /usr/lib/menu that DO show up in the menu (I added quotes around Apps/Net as the other entries had), renamed it to licq from licq-ssl, checked permissions/ownership (identical to all other entries), copied it to /home/tim/.menu/licq and /etc/menu/licq and after running update-menus had it's entry still fail. Does anyone have a clue as to what I missed? I'd appreciate a heads-up! P.S. I'm not even going to TRY to with Opera until i can figure out what's up with a standard Debian package. = Regards- Tim Stetson Whiskey Sour Nuhn O.

Re: Best WM for slow machine?
It's confirmed. Blackbox has it over amiwm. Ami is cute (somewhat apple like) and I COULD work w/ it but No window shading, NO MENUS, no configuration utility, etc.I can deal with these but if I'm going to have a window manager, I want the bells and whistles. Blackbox still has some wishlist items IMHO (custom background utility, borderless windows, etc.) but it is small, fast, and easy to work with. This is what I want in a windowmanager so I can spend time doing other thing besides research and customization on the thing that's supposed to make things easier. = Regards- Tim Stetson Whiskey Sour Nuhn O.

Hi,
I have the same problem but with /dev/dri. I am
trying to have user access to /dev/dri/card0 (Matrox
G400) for hardware accellerated games. To do this I
created a group called 'dri' and added my user to it.
Then I logged in as root and chgrp -R dri /dev/dri
so users of the dri group have access to /dev/dri/* (I
figured it was like group 'audio' for audiocard
access).
This works for 24 hours and when I check /dev/dri
after failure I receive:
!!!

As you can see I have been following this thread
and am looking in /etc/cron.daily/ for a script that
is changing the permissions automagically...and I
may have just found the 'culprit':
/etc/cron.daily/sxid ???
The file is laid out as follows:
!!
#!/bin/sh
SXID_OPTS=
if [ -x /usr/bin/sxid ]; then
/usr/bin/sxid ${SXID_OPTS}

If I man sxid I receive the following:

SYNOPSIS
sxid [ --config file ] [ --nomail ] [
--spotcheck ] [

DESCRIPTION
Sxid checks for changes in suid and sgid files
and direc
tories based on its last check. Logs are stored
by default
in /var/log/sxid.log. The changes are then
emailed to the
address specified in the configuration file.
The default
location for the config file is /etc/sxid.conf
but this
can be overridden with the --config option and
specifying
an alternate location.
!!
This leads me to beleive that if I edit the
/etc/sxid.conf to exclude this specific directory from
checking that I will have this situation rectified.
I will post results of the 'test'. I hope this may
help you and that if another user sees huge gaping

G400 DRI
Wella couple of questions 1st... Have you looked in your /var/log/XFree86.log to see if it is enabling DRI? What kernel are you running? Can you send a copy of /var/log/XFree86.log?

Re: The perfect X terminal emulator
Hi!
After doing an update to latest testing nad
getting an update to xterm and xterm-color it seems
that this issue has been noticed and aleviated.
According to the debconf msg i received in the update
the xterm config config file locations have changed
and having BOTH sets of config confuse home and end
use. i opted to have old config's removed by debconf
and will restart all 5 of my eterms soon to see if it
has TRULY been addressed.

Sometimes sound problem
Hi all, My problem seems to be that when I ran dselect last week on my testing (home) box last week from testing (please, no flames. I admit that I know what i have done and that I play in dangerous waters), after a reboot I lost SOME sound. By that I mean that most applications (xmms, gnome, pan, xgalaga, q3demo, etc.) where I enjoyed sound before, now either hang on sound initialization (I.E. q3demo, xmms) or report /dev/dsp device or resource busy. I know that my 2.4.2 kernel is configured correctly. ra kernel: es1371: version v0.27 time 21:26:58 Mar 2 2001 ra kernel: es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x1371 revision 0x07 ra kernel: es1371: found es1371 rev 7 at io 0x7000 irq 19 ra kernel: es1371: features: joystick 0x0 ra kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x8384:0x7608 (SigmaTel STAC9708) and that I have sound in some games like armagetron and xtuxracer (which i BELIEVE use libsdl for sound access) but not in other applications.

I have tried to track this down for a week now and have had no progress from pouring over the FM in all sound related areas. In following the list I see that this is not a problem others have run into either. The only other fallout from this testing update is that the home and end keys no longer seem to work as expected (they produce a tilde ~ character now) in a Eterm or in the console (I HAVE seen alot of console updating in the last week) but I expect that it is a work in progress and will be fixed soon.

Trouble w/ Mesa from recent woody/ unstable?
Hi All, I have had (since Dec. 8) a problem w/ all X11_MESA associated programs (mostly games) having appalling reports of dropped frames and (of course) failing to open. I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these problems and, if so, would they be willing to corraborate to find a solution. If this problem has already been addressed would someone please point me towards it's resolution? I have (as of 12/20/2000) the latest unstable XF86-4.0-pre2 packages from unstable w/ libmesa xlibmesa on top of 2.4.0-test12 kernel w/ agpart, DRI, Matrox, and console drivers built in (not modules) built and installed to see if it was a kernel addressing issue. It has not been rectified by this approach (I doubted it would anyway, situation began when running 2.4.0-test11 after a dselect Updated installed packages on Dec. 8).

Falling back to /proc for VM_*
Howdy I've been having a weird problem w/ my machine (Dual PII 400, 128 SDRAM, AIC7880 onboard SCSI, WD Enterprise 4Gb; Plextor 8/20 CDR; Archive 4326XX 27871-XXX, Atrend ATC-6260 MB) running potato 1st and woody presently w/ 2.2.17 kernel. During boot the message: Falling back to /proc for VM_bdflush _buffermem _freepages _kswapd _overcommit_memory _page-cluster _pagecache _pagetable_cache All listed in /proc/sys/vm. The disturbing symptom it seems to cause is that my swap partition (123.38Mb) fills and never releases until it is in a continual swap that effectively will freeze the machine if I leave it up too long. This is why I went to Debian from MickeySloth (win32), and it seems to be following me. I have changed the kernel to 2.4.0test9 (message is still present @ boot) and it SEEMS to have rectified the problem but my machine hasn't really been up long enough to tell (1 hr. +, and I have been able to see the symptom before in this time span). I have scoured the bug/ mailing list and have not been able to find any reference to this particular issue and I am hoping someone out there has already experienced this situation or has much sharper eyes than mine and will be able to help point me in the right direction. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated! Debian may not be the easiest distrobution, but is does seem to be the most powerful and flexible IMO. = Regards- Nuhn O.

Re: Install of VMware

Thanks to Nuhn, Tom, John and Andrew for your
responses. Here's how it has progressed: uname
indicates a 2.2.12 kernel. The existing source is
in
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.12/include. The apt-
get as Nuhn suggested created a set in /usr/src/
kernel-source-2.2.12/include.
I reinstalled using the new source. It
complained
first about missing the version.h file, the
autoconf.h
and finally the entire linux modules directory. I
copied these from the old source and the install
continued to the same point stating:
'There is probably a light difference of kernel
configuration between the set of C header files
you specified and your running kernel...'
Probably this is caused by the missing files
that
were copied from the old 2.2.12 source. If no one
has any other ideas, I'll try Andrew's kernel
rebuild
suggestion. Again, thanks!

Hi John,
If you're going to do a kernel build (I highly
suggest it.After a few frustrating misses you'll
get it and wonder how you could do without it,
especially if you add new hardware every so often.)
Use make xconfig in your /usr/src/linux directory
(be careful to look @ ALL the choices some hide in
unlikely places. Be especially careful to include RTC
[ enhanced real time clock {located in character
devices}; if you don't include it vmware complains]
and DO NOT include any console frame buffer devices,
they will LOCK your system when trying to launch
vmware to the point Ctrl-Alt-Del won't even work for a
proper shutdown. If you want to have parallel port
devices (printers) available to your virtual machine,
enable parallel port and PC style hardware in general
setup AND parallel printer support in character
devices. Parallel port scanners, zip drives, LS-120,
and other devices will take a little more kluging
around to get to work in Linux but once you build a
successful kernel you won't be afraid of trying to
build for alternate hardware.
Debian is great for newbie kernel building
because it has a wonderful package called kpkg. This
package does ALMOST everything for you! I highly
recommend doing an apt-get for it! It simplifies the
process to the point that after xconfig all you have
to do is:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.X.XX.
kernel_image
(Read The Fine [kpkg] Manual for the explaination of
the X's)
After this you will find a
kernel-image.custom.X.XX..deb
in the /usr/src directory. Just use:
dpkg -i kernel-image.custom.X.XX..deb
This will install the kernel and modules and then run
lilo to point at the correct package!
Read ALL the docs for regular kernel building and
kpkg b4 you try. These docs will tell you how to set
up your system to have your old kernel to boot if your
new kernel won't boot (I wish I had the first time!)
I'll be looking forward to the pizza next time I'm
in PA...C U!
