access to local Xserver?
Hi all, first of all i want to congratulate the packagers for their great effort in packaging KDE2.2! I do have a problem though... when I 'su' as a regular user i do not have access to the local Xserver to run X-programs. This worked before i upgraded to KDE2.2. I'm sure it is just a setting somewhere, but i really do not know where to look... Additionally, i would like to run software on a server at our university and view to output on my screen... this, ofcourse, does not work as well... Can anyone help me out? regards, Egon

it may be related to the Authorize setting in the [X-:*-Core]
section of kdmrc - set it to false, if you want no X security.
since i don't like the above solution, i have this script in my
root's .profile:
ppid=`ps ho ppid $$`
whose=`COLUMNS=1 ps heo user,ucmd $ppid`
if test -n "$whose" -a "${whose%% *}" != root; then
eval $(echo "$whose"|sed -ne 's/.*\.*/export
DISPLAY=\1/p; t end; d; :end q')
test "$DISPLAY" && xauth merge $(echo "$whose"|sed -ne 's/.*\.*/\1\/\.Xauthority/p; t end; d; :end q')
fi
unset ppid whose

as long, as these systems are in one nis-/nfs-domain, there should be no
problem. for random hosts, you need something like that:
delphi$ xauth nextract - delphi:0.0 | rsh is2101 /usr/X11R5/bin/xauth nmerge -
delphi$ rsh is2101
is2101$ xterm -display delphi:0.0
you could automate this by extending your xon script.
btw, the simplest solution for transporting xauth data is to use ssh with
X forwarding enabled ...

Yes, this is what i do when i remote login to the server at the university, but since the upgrade that did not work no more... I'll try your code now... Egon
Unix "lifetime-mail"
Hi, does anyone know the kind of mail shown below? It seems to be the unix time. I receive this mails now and then and don't know which system service sends this mails and why. Jan Remmer t.H. Example: -- Content-Type: Status: RO X-Status: O 1 1000502681.9146 --

Are you using KMail? I am, and I've very occasionally received mails looking something like that which may have been caused by a bug in KMail (or kio_pop3 or another component). It hasn't happened for quite a while now. > Example: > -- > Content-Type: > Status: RO > X-Status: O > > 1 1000502681.9146 > -- I don't have an example available, but I think the ones I got looked more like responses to the LIST command (hence my thinking it was a bug...), i.e. 1 2913 2 3101

If you see "-nolisten tcp" on the server line then you have TCP/IP access to the Xserver disabled. This became the default some time recently; I had the same problem also. Try deleting "-nolisten tcp" and see if things work for you. Ben.

"apt-get install htdig" installs htsearch in "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/", from where kdevelop can't find it. Here's a quick fix: cd /usr/bin/ ln -s ../lib/cgi-bin/htsearch htsearch I'm not sure wether this should be fixed in htdig's package or in htdevelop's. My vote goes for htdig. Opinions? - Jarno

objprelink and lintian errors
Hi.. I'm building packages using objprelink and getting lintian errors similar to the following: E: noatun-plugins: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libnoatunluckytag.so.0.0.0 E: noatun-plugins: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libnoatunmadness.so.0.0.0 E: noatun-plugins: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/libnoatunwakeup.so.0.0.0 I build without objprelink and there's no problems. The new error messages are due to a change in lintian - packages I built a few weeks ago that were lintian clean now give similar errors. Is anyone else running into this? Does anyone know if it's lintian being over-zealous or if objprelink is causing policy violations in the packages that use it? Or am I just abusing objprelink? Ben.
Re: Problems with kdevelop 1.4
It doesn't matter if KDevelop 1.4 can find htsearch. It will still not be able +to index the documentation if you are using the Debian package of htdig. As for the problem of finding htsearch, that can be fixed in KDevelop.

Re: objprelink and lintian errors
yes...that's a side effect of using objprelink. On Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at 04:17:12PM -0500, Ben Burton wrote: > > Hi..

Re: objprelink and lintian errors
> yes...that's a side effect of using objprelink. So does this mean package maintainers should stop using objprelink because it's causing policy violations? Or is the lintian check slightly broader than policy and objprelink within the margin of error? Ben.

I compiled the whole slew of KDE 2.2.0 Sid sourc packages on Woody with objprelink since stuff was blowing up without it. I compiled a Sid binutils and everything, too. Was that bad?
Re: access to local Xserver?
Another hack to do this that is less insecure is (assuming you're logged in as "somebody" and running X): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/somebody# cp ~somebody/.Xauthority ~ --Tom Joseph On Saturday 15 September 2001 06:54 pm, Jason Boxman wrote: > On Saturday 15 September 2001 03:59 am, Egon Willighagen wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > first of all i want to congratulate the packagers for their > > great effort in packaging KDE2.2! > > > > I do have a problem though... when I 'su' as a regular user > > i do not have access to the local Xserver to run X-programs. > > This worked before i upgraded to KDE2.2.
