Hi,

I just did the following:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade

I see y'all have made Xorg the standard X window server. Like many others (judging from the posts) I'm having trouble getting mine to run.

I've gotten past several errors, but now I am up against the "mouse problem". I followed instructions posted here:

http://wwww.debianhelp.org/node/6874

I edited the xorg.conf.new file to set the mouse to /dev/psaux. However, thereafter when I run Xorg I get the same errors.

Xorg is not able to detect your mouse.
Edit the file and correct the Device.

Hi guys,

I'm Looking for your experiences using three or more monitors under
Linux? We use two to four screens at work (depending on our exact
requirements). Using two screens on a dual-head card works mostly OK,
at least for my legitimate work needs (some things like fullscreen
mplayer don't behave so nicely, but that's not essential), but as soon
as you run three or more screens and have to use two graphics card,
things get a little messy. Xinerama, for one, breaks hardware 3D, and
some things behave weirdly

I've looked online at cards like the Matrox G450 Quad, and wondered if
anyone has experience running these under linux. How well does things
like 3D and hardwar everlay (as in MPlayer fullscreen with xv without

An Oracle database consists of a collection of data managed by an Oracle database management system. You can download Oracle Database XE server for Debian, Mandriva, Novell, Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux distributions. First you need to get databases up and running in order to use Oracle. The Oracle database has had a reputation among new Linux users as difficult to install on Linux systems. Now Oracle Corporation has packaged recent versions for several popular Linux distributions in an attempt to minimize installation challenges beyond the level of technical expertise required to install a database server.

Hi all,

I use k3b to burn backup cd (dvd-r 4.7 gb) of directories on ext3 file
system across nfs connection.

K3b has just reported the selected remote directory to be more than 2 gb
large. Yet the same mounted directory, as measured by 'du -s' on the local
station, where k3b is running, returs about 0.5 gb only . That is the
probable correct value, being the same that is found by 'du -s' on the
remote machine.
How to fix that strange k3b behaviour?

thank you

I have 4 USB hard drives on my server in my basement. The power
went out the other night for about 30 seconds and when the server came
back online, most of my Samba shares where messed up. I figured out
what happened was that the drives were not initialized in the same order
as they were when I setup the shares. Now a drive that used to be
/media/usb0 was say /media/usb1.

So I have to go back and reconfigure my samba.conf file, not a huge
deal, but still a pia. Is there anyway to make it so that the drives
will always be named correctly upon rebooting of the server and
mounted? I think it needs to be done in fstab is that correct? The
other issue I have is that I always have to actually click on each drive

Personally I think SPF is useless. I get plenty of spam that is SPF pass
and plenty of legit mail that is SPF fail. If it can't give u a very high
legitimacy check, it's not worth it.

IMHO the only way to accomplish what SPF attempts is to build a parallel
mail system on the Internet that is 100% authentication based and then
require everyone to shift over to it. And then shut down the old system.

Hello,

I install Debian 4 and can't set resolution. It is 640x480 max.

I cant find XF86Config file, but I edit xorg.conf and remove 640x480 but there is no remarks.

Here it is xorg.conf:

Dear Debianists,

What is the difference between libtktable-dev in Ubuntu and tktable-dev in
Debian? Are they pretty much the same package but with a name change or is
their something more subtle going on here?

I can't seem to find libtktable-dev in the Debian package world.

Thursday afternoon I reinstalled my i386 Debian installation as amd64
(To compliment my Core 2 Duo), and everything's been working pretty good
so far (Minus 3d rendering, but that's another story), but I'm having
one serious problem in Apache.

I reinstalled Apache2 and libapache2-mod-php5, and restored my old
/etc/apache2 configuration files, but I'm getting the error

> The requested URL / was not found on this server.

If you need any of my configuration files just ask, the only one that I
figure would effect anything would be
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default, so here is my config:

Strange problem. I have two debian machines, one local at home, and one
remote somewhere. At home I am connected behind a NAT, and the remote
machine has a public IP.

I want to run iceweasel on the remote machine, and let it display on my
local machine. I have iceweasels installed on both machines.

So from the local machine I do:

ssh -Cv -X

After a while I get a prompt of the remote machine, looks OK, ls gives
me listing of files on that machine.

env shows DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

So I run 'iceweasel' there. And after some time I get it displayed,
but... it seems that it runs it somehow on my local machine, for example
file:///
displays the root directory of my local machine, not the remote one, and

Hi Guys. I am having problems with audio. When I use Skype, and choose Logitech USB Headset from the Devices menu, I get the audio through my headset. If I play something through Mplayer, I don't hear anything. If I go to Preferences > Sound, and play a sound, I don't hear anything either.

So: Although an easy fix would be good, it still doesn't really help me understand "how" or "why" the audio works in Linux, or what files are used in configuration, so if someone could point me to a reasonably easy to understand "how Linux sound & audio works" site, I'd really appreciate it. If some output is required to help, let me know what commands to use...

Cheers

A mixed compilation (ifort/gcc 4.1.2) of Amber9 on amd64 etch
dual-core-opterons (Linux deb32 2.6.18-3-k7 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 17:23:11 UTC 2006
i686 GNU/Linux)
requests the following header files;

WcActCB.c:29:24: error: X11/ShellP.h: No such file or directory

as the single errors out of an enormous number of modules that passed "make".

As a beginner in compilations, I would appreciate being instructed how to find
the appropriate (64bit if they differ from 32bit) headers. I have seen packages
that provide all headers, though above etch, with a more recent kernel. In
other words, I don't know the appropriate console command to trace the package
to install. And, for the moment I refrain from dist upgrade.

I replaced a dead router the other day with a new Belkin F5D7230-4
wireless/4-port unit.

When networking starts on my Etch box, /etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten
like so:

search hydroplatenet
nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 208.180.42.68
nameserver 208.180.42.100

Web browsing (and other name-dependent Intarweb Pipes stuff) is very
slow with these settings, but if I comment/remove the first nameserver
line, which is the address of the Belkin router, things are fine.

I found a couple of other people with similar problems
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297834 and

of pre-pending the good addresses via /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to force

My name is Andrew, and I use Debian Lenny on an x86 machine.

I love Debian. I love apt. The Debian/Apt combination has allowed me to
use software I would have never before dreamed to be possible to use.
I'm quite content with my system at the moment. My problem comes when a
piece of software that I use with frequency is updated by the developers
in a major way. The Debian repositories do not reflect this change, and
likely won't for some time.

The software in question is emacs22. Currently I have it compiled in my
home directory at ~/source/emacs/, where I run it directly out of the
src directory. I dare not "make install", or my apt install will be
permanently harmed and/or it won't work and I will be faced with a

Hi

Don't know if this is the right place to send this but thought I might
try anyway.

After installing Etch with Gnome and KDE I find that my screen lock
has stopped working. Doesn't lock any more. I click on "Lock
Session" in the bottom left hand corner of the screen/Kmenu and
nothing happens. Tried a Google search for more info but can't find
anything.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this ?

Hello,
I know the bug #420138 (twinkle) but it's not fixed for me with a laptop acer
aspire 5102wmli. My dist: unstable, kernel 2.6.18-4-amd64
apt-cache show twinkle | grep Vers: Version: 1:1.0.1-1

I encounter a problem when I launch twinkle, I get:

Cannot access the ring tone device (ALSA: plughw:0,0)
Cannot access the speaker (ALSA: plughw:0,0)
Cannot access the microphone (ALSA: plughw:0,0)

(by the way mocp doesn't work and vlc works but without sound)

In the file /etc/esound/esd.conf there is by default :
auto_spawn=0
and ps ax | grep esd gives:
/usr/bin/esd -nobeeps

If I put: auto_spawn=1
ps ax | grep esd gives:
/usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 5 -spawnfd 23

and twinkle doesn't complain (and mocp and vlc work fine)

Hi,

On my Debian GNU/Linux box I use ext3 file system. On my other platform
(AmigaOS) I use SmartFileSystem (SFS). Well, I don't know nothing about
file systems, but SFS has one feature I really miss in ext3: ".recycled".


Every file I delete or every file I overwrite, ends up in .recycled. This is very
useful when eg. retrieving a document (or every other file that gets overwritten
multiple times).

Eg: Say that I'm writing "my_doc" using OOo. When I save it for the first time,

it will be written to disk. When I save it the second time, the first copy will be

Hi folks,

my WLAN connection starts only at the second try.

# The primary network interface

Hello to All,

well, as written in the subject, is there any Subversion support or interface

I tried to 'google' this matter but (surprisingly) find nothing concluant ...

Thanks.
