After someone replies with how do move these two Konsole windows to the next desktop, what's the procedure to move one or both of them back to the "main" desktop? 3.

Bug on kdegames?
Hi On a brand new stretch install, kdegames does not seem to install the required libraries: libkdeinit5_name-of-the-game.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, so games don't open and give a plasma error. Could someone try to see if I should fill a bug report, or give me advice on trouble shooting. Also, on an other box that migrated from kde4 to kde5, the problem is not present. Thierry

Is this a bug against ledgersmb? (was: getting started with ledgersmb)

Hi list
Trying to install ledgersmb from sid I got error 404: no such file..., when

I read the Debian doc a bit more and I found in file:
/usr/share/doc/ledgersmb/faq.html the following:
About installation
The easiest is to use the setup.pl script as root. You don't need to
know very much about
So I did and got the following error:
perl setup.pl
Error: No workflow script specified
Compilation failed in require at setup.pl line 8.
Setup.pl :
#!/usr/bin/perl
use FindBin;
BEGIN {
lib->import($FindBin::Bin) unless $ENV{mod_perl}

require 'lsmb-request.pl';
So it's calling lsmb-request.pl at line 8

I put the code returning the error in between 2 lines so you can spot it
easily. And I am sure it come from these lines as I change the message

understanding of perl script is nowhere good enough for me to known
what's wrong.

Hi list I installed ledgersmb from sid package. I tried to connect to it using localhost:ledgersmb/setup.pl as stated in many tutorial.I got 'not found'. All tutorials I found are for ubuntu, none for debian. Anyway, I tried changing the ownership of /usr/share/ledgersmb as stated in those tutorials. I still got the same error. Now those tuto ask to copy some files from the /usr/share/ledgersmb folder into /etc/apache2/ folder.But I cannot find the files!! Any one succeed at getting access to it?

They simply ignore it. No, I guess most of the people writing in their native language on this list do it because they have subscribed to this list and the one in their language, and they make an error. it happen to me both ways, french on the english list and vice-versa. It even happen that I answered a question in french on the french list, in english.

I dont understand what you are saiing. From wikipedia here is the definition of mbr: A master boot record (MBR) is a type of boot sector popularized by the IBM Personal Computer.[1] It consists of a sequence of 512 bytes located at the first sector of a data storage device such as a hard disk. MBRs are usually placed on storage devices intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems So no wonder you can't put grub on 512 bytes. I would try, usind an install iso, to chroot into your system and reinstall grub. Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Got out of it 2 ways, depending on the hard drive configuration: If you have LVM, you need a livecd from, say debian, and use it to resize your partitions, then you can take time to do your clean up. To resize it you need lvm tools which are not present in a basic live cd, so you have to install them after you boot whith your cd. If you have a basic fs, then gparted-live should do the job of resizing. A third way (never worked for me, but it is still worth trying, as it is less painful, was already mentioned by Cameleón, is to use the 5% reserved for admin.

Maybe money is not the most common thing in Aldyth's country, and resources are used to their last extend. So, Aldyth, are you running any desktop like kde, gnome? On my pc kde power managment set up itself by default to put everything to sleep after some time. I had to reset everything to previous setting. By the way, I think there is way for reporting a bug against powermanagment because it reset the settings every time it is updated.

Re: kernel
On Tuesday 19 April 2011 17:38:54 Homer Simpson wrote: > Hello! > Hi, Did you follow the howto from easybcd? I copy it bellow for you to check: Vista before Linux EasyBCD makes installing Linux after you have Windows Vista up-and-running a breeze. These steps assume you have Windows Vista properly installed and booting, and are looking to install Linux on a second hard drive or partition. These steps also assume that you are using the default Windows Vista bootloader, and don't manually change the active partition around. If you had Linux installed before you installed Windows Vista, scroll down to the next section. Put the Linux CD in the drive, and start the installation normally. When prompted to set up the bootloader, make sure you specify to install LILO, GRUB, or whatever to the bootsector of the partition that Linux is being installed to and not the MBR of your hard drive. Finish the Linux installation, take the CD out of the drive, and reboot. At this point, you'll go straight back to Windows Vista. Don't panic, everything is OK - you'll be in Linux soon enough! Turn on EasyBCD, go to the "Add/Remove Entries" screen and pick Linux from the tabs at the top. Pick the appropriate bootloader from the drop-down menu (either GRUB or LILO), Give the entry a user-friendly name (and if you want to keep "NST Linux Loader" as the text, we won't say no!) The hardest part of this mind-numbingly difficult exercise (/sarcasm) is choosing the correct hard drive and partition numbers that correspond to the partition you installed Linux (and most importantly, the bootloader) to. In EasyBCD (and Windows in general), drive numbers start at 0, and partitions start at 1. So the second partition of the first drive would be 0, 2. Press "Add Entry" and reboot. When the Vista bootloader asks you what OS you'd like to boot into, select Linux to continue the first-run configuration for your brand-spanking-new Linux install.

The problem with the same mobo was that every component was working on other mobo, but not with that one, while other cpu, memory stick made the mobo work perfectly. As I said before, the problem was solved playing with the voltage, using lenny at the time. I recall also that it would work with $W with standard bios setting. I tried last night to install squeeze on the boxe to see if I had the problem, and the install oops at various level, regardless of bios setting. I wont have time to look at it before the coming week-end. I will keep you informe of the outcome.
