How to fix gnome-panel item size
Hello Everybody, I find the gnome panel's items to be too large (in height). Please see the attached screenshot (the "Games" item, for example). I would like to reduce the height as much as possible. I feel I should look into the theme's gtkrc file for this. But I could not pinpoint any particular line I should modify. Could you please point me to the correct line to edit? Also, I feel directly editing the theme's gtkrc file is not the right way. Is there any file in my home directory which I should be editing so that this change becomes theme independent? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Santanu Chatterjee <>

Donation (whatever little I can) has never been any problem. Only thing is that I don't use a Credit Card (or any kind of online money transactions).

This is the one I followed (especially the section: "Copying files the flexible way").

But after your mail, I did a diff between the vmlinuz in hd-media and the one inside the netinst.iso and they differ (I thought they were same).

Yes. I tried that too, but somehow I could not loop mount, and the loop.ko module could not be found anywhere in /lib/modules. So, to workaround this problem, I made a directory in the USB pendrive (from my working Linux PC) and copied the full contents of the iso image into this directory. Then I tried booting again, but still the installer is trying to find a cdrom drive and failing. Now, you said "pointing the installer to the local repository". How exactly is this done? When the cdrom detection failed, at a console, I found a directory named '/cdrom' already created (empty). I linked this directory so that it pointed to the iso contents in my pendrive. Then I attempted to rerun the earlier step by selecting the option 'install from installer cdrom' (the wordings might be a bit off but this is the option just next to the 'detect installer cdrom' option). But I am still getting the same error. Is there any particular way to 'point the installer' to the installer cdrom contents?

Installing Debian from USB pen drive
Hello Everybody, I was trying to install a very basic debian system from my 2GB USB Pen Drive. For that, I did the following: o Formatted my pen drive as a single 2GB FAT16 partition (/dev/sdb) o Did a "# syslinux -sf /dev/sdb" to make it bootable o Downloaded "http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso"; and placed a copy of this iso file on the pendrive as netinst.iso (renaming was not due to any particular reason) o Opened the iso image in file-roller and copied the '/install.386' folder from it to the toplevel directory in my pendrive. o Then copied all the files from the '/isolinux' directory in the iso iimage to the toplevel directory in my pendrive. o Renamed isolinux.cfg in the pendrive to syslinux.cfg. When I try to boot from the pendrive, it boots just fine, and the installer starts OK. But then, it cannot find the cdrom. Thats OK, because there is no cdrom in the drive. But I want it to install from the 'netinst.iso' image. But I can't find a way to make it do the install from the iso image. Can anyone tell me how to make the installer install from the iso image?

Hi Everybody, Thanks for replying, and sorry for the late reply from my end.

After I installed lighttpd using apt-get, I tried to install mediawiki, and it got installed without installing apache at all. But the problem persisted on my original system. Later, I just removed (purged) lighttpd and reinstalled it. After that I could install mediawiki without apache getting installed in the process. I could not figure out the reason for the original problem, although my problem got solved. I can only guess that the lighttpd installation was not complete earlier.

Re: Firefox crashing on gmail
Hi Sridhar, Does your firefox also crash on www.xilinx.com like mine? I'm sure it does. If so, like I said in my earlier mail, we definitely have the same problem. After reading this thread, I searched for a solution with renewed enthusiasm, and just now found this: --- https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/27626 --- There someone mentioned that the problem occurs only with DefaultDepth=16, not with 24bit depth. Sure enough, my xorg.conf had "DefaultDepth 16", changed it to use 24 bit, and firefox works normally now. In fact, I am writing this via gmail using firefox right now.

I had read before but now I know why simple pipes don't work for video streaming :-) Well, currently, I am using tvtime to view TV, and when I need to record something, I run a simple shell script to close tvtime and record the video for the specified amount of time. The script uses streamer to do the capture. I tried your mencoder line, as well as a number of variations of the same (using oss as well as alsa for audio capture), but mencoder/mplayer does not capture audio at all in my case! So I settled on streamer. Although I cannot 'see' what I am capturing, streamer does play the audio, which gives me a hint this is probably what you mentioned in one of your mails. The script I am using is as simple as ( i am writing the script from memory): #!/bin/bash # "vidcap.sh" # usage: vidcap.sh killall -9 tvtime amixer -c 0 sset Line,0 90,90 unmute cap 2>/dev/null streamer -o $1 -t $2 -r 25 -f mjpeg -F mono16 -d /dev/video0 tvtime & - I am getting interested about learning the v4l2 API.

The problem is, when I want to record a live program, I have to close tvtime, and then use streamer to record the program, otherwise, streamer says /dev/video0 is busy (although it works while xawtv is being used instead of tvtime, but I don't use xawtv as I cannot control audio volume with it on my system). The problem with this approach is that while recording, I cannot see what I am recording. I don't want to go into setting up mythtv and such full fledged and heavy duty stuff. Mencoder/Mplayer does not work either (same problem as with streamer, also video only capture, no audio). I tried freevo, but it keeps saying that recordserver is down, even if I use 'freevo recordserver start'.

KWorld TV878 TV Tuner problem
Hi, I got the card working!! All this time I had the solution in my hands and I did not use it properly. First, the chips that my card has: Conexant Fusion 878A, TEA5767 (FM Tuner) I followed the same procedure as mentioned in -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160271 -- As mentioned there, I put the following lines in my /etc/modprobe.d/bttv file: -- option bttv card=78 radio=1 tuner=38 pll=1 gbuffers=4 gpiomask=0x1c0007 audiomux=0x08,0x01,0x08,0x08,0x01 -- After I rebooted, both FM Radio and TV started working perfectly!! (So, my tuner type is 38, not 5 as was autodetected using the card=78 option) Last time I used the same procedure, it did not work, possibly because I was using 2.6.8 kernel in Debian Sarge. Recently, I got a SuSE 10.1 DVD with a magazine and installed it yesterday just to see how SuSE looked. There it worked. SuSE 10.1 is using the 2.6.16 kernel, and I think that made the difference. Another thing I noticed was that xawtv in SuSE could tune the channels more or less correctly, but could not display the pictures. Even audio was working, but no picture. On the other hand, the default TV and Radio applications (kdetv and kradio) worked perfectly. SuSE did not come with tvtime, so I could not try it out. My Sarge DVDs did not come with kradio and kdetv, and I don't have internet connection at home. Anyway, I will now try using the latest kernel in Debian to get this thing working there. I am already missing apt in SuSE. Thanks a lot for replying to my queries. Now I can remove windows from my system.

KWorld TV878 TV Tuner problem
Hi Everybody, I am using Debian Sarge (2.6 kernel). I installed a KWorld TV878 TV Tuner card recently, and after some googling, I was able to get the card detected using the following : -- modprobe bttv card=78 tuner=5 radio=1 -- Now the problem is that tvtime only shows me the last channel I viewed under WindowsXP. Other than that no other frequency is detected. Has someone gotten this card to work under Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, or any other distro)? Somewhere I read (while googling) that to get the card working in Linux, one has to copy some file from the windows installation of the supplied driver and make that available to tvtime ( IIRC it was tvtime or maybe the bttv driver... I forgot ). Apparently, the hardware of the card itself is not sufficient, it probably needs some configuration prior to using it. Unfortunately, I cannot find the URL for the web page anymore. If would appreciate any help from you that might help me use this under Debian (or any Linux). I had to install WindowsXP just to be able to use the card to watch World Cup. If I get this working under Linux, I can get back some valuable disk space. (By the way, the FM radio part is also not working under Linux, but I am not bothered about that.)

In that case see the value of the $TERM variable at the terminal, and set that value in Vim as mentioned above, replacing $TERM with the actual value you got.

Sorry friends, After I subscribed to the linux-gate mailing list, I posted my first 'testing' newspost after waiting for about 1/2 hour. That did not appear on this linux.debian.user newsgroup. So, I tried again. Then again... Sorry. I kinda became desparate. By the way, I am not using the mailing list for posting. I am using this as a newsgroup (linux.debian.user). So, I felt that my news post should appear instantly. Please also ignore my other posts here about 'testing'. All of them seems to have appeared today, after I downloaded the news headers. Sorry again. Regards, Santanu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not *yet* a Debian user. Will be installing woody on sunday. However from my experience with sysvinit based systems like Mandrake, there should be a file named rc.local somewhere under /etc. Edit that file and use the bind command (do not see man page of bind. That bind is different. Do 'help bind' instead.) to set the default behaviour for the required key sequence. Somebody mentioned 'xmodmap' etc. They may be helpful too. Never used them.
