One of the big problems of KDE 2 is that it uses QT 2. One of the big problems of QT 2 is that it doesn't use the X clipboard protocol. Thus KDE 2's implementation of the clipboard is badly broken. Gnome 1.4 handles this correctly. QT 3.0 correctly uses the clipboard protocol. KDE 3 is based on QT 3. Thus KDE 3 will work correctly with the X clipboard (and interoperate with the gnome clipboard). Many people seem to think KDE 3 is not changing anything with regards the kde system. But this one change alone is a *major* improvement IMHO. So perhaps the answer to your problems lies in KDE 3? for more info... http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt http://dot.kde.org/1006384488/1006476851/1006480500/1006486361/ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2000-November/msg00023.html Kind Regards Crispin Wellington -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Do you have a little red & white clipboard symbol in your KDE panel? (Bottom right corner of the screen if you haven't moved the panel around.) This is a little app that remembers the last couple of things you selected. You'll be able to get back the text you're after with it, and then paste it into the empty field. You can also just avoid selecting the original text in the field by single clicking and using backspace/delete to get rid of it. In some apps you can use Emacs key combinations to manipulate the text in fields (Netscape and Mozilla do, for example, don't know about the KDE apps). Try 'CTRL-a CTRL-k' (move to beginning of line, delete to end of line respectively) after single clicking on the text field.

When man fetches a man page to display, it pumps the data to the default pager - generally 'less'. One method to fix this is to change your default pager, example: export PAGER=cat Another option is to tell less to disable sending the termcap initialization and deinitializtion strings to the terminal. (see less(1)). export LESS="-X" As for vi or nano, perhaps there is something similar described in their man pages.

Printers, and Samba, and Swat (oh my!)
System: Debian 2.2r6 potato with a few woody upgrades. I'm trying to use printtool to set up my HP Laserjet 5L and when I start it up it claims that Samba is not installed. Samba is installed, but I just haven't configured it yet. The printer is autodetected and passes the ascii test direct to port, but does not pass the regular ascii test or the postscript test. I couldn't cut and paste the exact error, as the text wasn't selectable. Beyond auto-detection by printtool what else should be done to set up the printer? Also, I'd like to configure samba using swat, but when following the directions in Learning Debian Gnu/Linux Chapter 10 ( http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/ch10_03.html ) It says "To access swat, point your browser to port 901 of your system. For example, you can use the URL http://localhost:901/. Your web browser will prompt you for a userid and password; specify root as the userid and give the appropriate password. Figure 10.1 shows swat's main menu, accessed by using the system's IP address in place of its hostname." When I type http://localhost:901/ or http://192.168.0.1:901/ as the example shows into Mozilla, I do NOT get asked for a userid or password, and instead I get a pop up box saying: connection refused. I am logged in as root when this happens. Do I have firewall settings blocking 901 or something? Or overall, 1) How can I make swat work? and 2) How do I get the printer to work?

I don't know. In order to verify what you suggested, I did the following:
1. Removed apache and libapache-mod-ssl again ("apt-get remove ...")
2. Reinstalled apache-ssl ("apt-get install apache-ssl")
3. Reentered the data for a selfsigned certificate
4. Tried the "netstat" and "lsof" commands you suggested
Result: "apache-ssl" shows up in "ps auxwww | grep apache-ssl" and the
"netstat" and "lsof" commands showed the expected results (LISTEN state on
port https).
Thanks for taking your time and helping me out.

Re: How does 'compact' do it?
Eric d'Alibut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: When I came into possession of a Micron dual PPro with a Symbios scsi adapter and new scsi drive, I grabbed the "compact" flavor of 2.2r6 and easily installed Debian over a cable 'net connection. The compact kernel boots nicely with LILO on /dev/sda; the only tweaking needed was adding an append in lilo.conf: append="sym53c8xx=mpar:n" Problem: I cannot build a kernel that will boot from the hard drive! I am using the 2.2.19 source, and every custom kernel I have built fails the same way; the boot dies - grinds to a halt - with no error messages as soon as the "Ok, now booting the kernel" message appears. These kernels _can_ boot from floppy if you make a boot floppy when make-kpkg prompts you as to whether or not you want one. Hence the Subject: line "How does compact do it?" i.e. how does the compact kernel manage to boot off the hard drive when all of my custom ones, even those that consist for the most part of compact's .config itself, fail. I'm getting ready to go the initrd route, but that shouldn't be necessary, should it? -- Eric d'Alibut The kernel on the "compact" disk has several of the more common drivers "compiled in" rather than compiled as modules. Your SCSI driver is one of those. This is propably at the root of your problem. When you are compiling the new kernel you are selecting to compile the sym53c8xx "driver" as a module. Check out the "config" for the kernel used in the compact boot floppies (at the same site where you got the floppy images) and you will see what I mean. When LILO starts a boot selection, it doesn't know much or have much capability. It can access the kernel, place it into memory and start running it and that is about it. The process is similar to the increasing capabilities of and infant --> child --> teenager --> adult, but in a very rapid manner. The code to access boot-critical devices (like your hard drive) MUST be in the kernel code and NOT as a module stored on the File System. The one exception to this "rule" is if you are using initrd. You have your basic "chicken vs egg" connundrum if it is compiled as a module. The code to access the HD is stored within the file system, which cannot be mounted and read until the HD is accessed, which cannot be done without the module code. The way around this is to make it part of the kernel code, or use an initrd image file to "pre-load" boot-critical device driver code.

optimization of fetchmail
I've a doubt about my fethmailrc, if I've to poll down several accounts from the same pop-server is better to put in the fetchmailrc many polls as the accounts are or one poll with a user list i.e.: is better to do poll pop.server.boh protocol pop3 user foo password "foo" is joe here; poll pop.server.boh protocol pop3 user foo2 password "foo" is joe2 here; or like this: poll pop.server.boh protocol pop3 user foo password "foo" is joe here; user foo2 password "foo" is joe2 here; which of this solutions works better in a mailserver that polls a hundred external mboxes? pgpFTwJqzYv7U.pgp Description: PGP signature

I finally got an answer, and it worked: just set the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Portugal, in my case). I still don't understand why accented characters work with any other application even with LANG set to C, as it was before...

After reading euro-support, I finally managed to type and see the euro-symbol on the console. Under X I still can't type it (with the already mentioned exception of Openoffice), but I can see it.

I think what I was suggesting (not too sure about this, but I think
this is where I was going) was that apache was *already* serving up
https content before you even started installing apache-ssl -
certainly something was using port 443 (since apache-ssl couldn't
access it). The only thing which seems likely is apache. Now that
you have re-installed apache-ssl (which I think is very keen when you
had a working system) I would be interested in the results of the lsof
command I suggested earlier. What lsof does is tells you what process
owns a file (or in this case a port). If
# lsof | grep https
reports something like
apache-ss 440 root IPv4 220292 *:https (LISTEN)
then that means that apache-ssl now 'owns' the https port. So try
accessing some https content: point your browser at
https://localhost/ and see what happens.
I feel a bit bad about pointing this out when you had a working
system, as it seems to have made you keen and *uninstalled a working
system* (something you wouldn't catch me doing). Sorry.
Tom

The message I refered to suggests:
:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-\/[-a-zA-Z0-9]*
debian/${MATCH}
for debian lists, so I would think something like:
* ^X-BeenThere: \/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
would work for most mailing lists. Otherwise, their names would be
really weird. Whether this is a good option depends on what you want to
happen if any other characters appear before the @. IIRC I saw someone
put to *-lines in a row. Maybe something along the lines of:
* ^X-BeenThere: [-a-zA-Z0-9]+@
* ^X-BeenThere: \/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
would work? But maybe someone with more procmail knowledge should
comment on this.

sshd and setting [es]?[ug]id
hi folks, we are in the process of conceptualizing a better owner matching method for iptables, and part of what we want to accomplish is associating incoming ssh connections with a user id. the *:22 socket is owned by root, but for every established session, a new sshd is spawned, which should drop privileges to effectively be the authenticated user. the following somewhat goes in that direction. fishbowl:~> ps -eo uid,gid,euid,egid,suid,sgid,args|grep "[s]shd" 0 0 0 0 0 0 /usr/sbin/sshd 0 0 0 0 0 100 /usr/sbin/sshd as you can see, there's an established ssh session for a user in the "users" group (gid=100). what i am wondering is why the sgid (saved gid) is set, but none of the *uid fields. furthermore, why sgid and not gid or egid? after all, sgid should really be 0 and gid/egid should be 100. could someone here enlighten me? i am writing this disconnected from the 'net, otherwise i'd (also) talk to the openssh people, and i will forward this email to them as soon as i get an IP again. oh, and for your info: fishbowl:~> dpkg -l ssh | grep ^ii ii ssh3.0.2p1-8.3Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement thanks for any insights! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." -- shakespeare pgpJmbiITRyLH.pgp Description: PGP signature

At work I use Windows and can access almost every web site going. At home I have problem after problem *for whatever reason*. I share my house with a friend and he often uses my computer - it is very hard trying to explain why we are using Linux when he cannot access so may web pages. He is certainly not interested in the slightest what a web designer uses to create his/her web site - he just wants to access the information on it. If I suggested to him that he contact web designers to complain about their web sites he would think I was an idiot - 'I can access them using Windows, so what's the problem?' would be his retort. If you wish not to access sites written poorly, or using MS code, then you are free to make that choice. Let's have a web browser which accesses all web sites and I can have my choice too. The point I am trying to make is that if a large percentage of the world is using MS IE-specific code in spite of the best efforts of yourself and others, it is surely far easier for Linux programmers to change whatever is needed in Mozilla, Galeon et al. so that these pages can be accessed than to change the habits of the web-designers around the world. Whether we like it or not certain methods or techniques become the norm due to sheer weight of numbers using them. This is the way of the world. The best methods do not necessarily win through - the Video2000/Betamax/VHS issue immediately springs to mind where the poorest quality format won the battle. I do agree with you in principle, but in practice it is not you or me who decides what people use to design web-sites.

Re: 100dpi vs 75dpi
Re-ordering the lines in the file didn't work. This leads me to believe I'm looking in the wrong place. But I've just noticed something I didn't before: It seems that the fonts in all KDE apps (konqueror, kmix, kcontrol) are a nice size, but everything else (mozilla, xmms (menus), gimp, aisleriot, and gnotski) uses a font that's about twice as big as in kde. Is this a gtk vs. qt issue? Gnome vs. KDE? Is there a way to reduce the font size that these apps use?

I doubt it makes any difference; I don't think the pop3 protocol provides for switching from one user to another without establishing a new connection. I would tend to prefer the second form (two users under a single poll entry in .fetchmailrc) just because it's less typing and easier to read (it's more clear that these two users are on the same server). The obvious test would be to install tcpspy and see what actually happens when fetchmail runs. What I've observed is that a new connection is made for each user entry. The main thing that would make a difference if you have fetchmailrc supporting many users is to run a single system-wide fetchmail daemon rather than running it from cron jobs.

How can I use 75dpi fonts instead? If any program assumes 75 dpi, it's ineptly written garbage and you ought to toss it out. Mozilla does not assume 75 dpi; I use it with 100 dpi fonts all the time. If your GTK apps have overly large fonts, you can adjust that in your GTK theme. If you use GNOME, the GNOME control panel's "Appearance" dialog allows you to override the GTK theme's font.

This is more of a less issue and less of a man issue. Nicely phrased, but this is _not_ a less issue.

initrd-tools won't update
Hi, I've been having troubles updating my woody-install. I have initrd-tools v0.1.19 installed, the latest (that I want to have installed) is v0.1.22. For about a month I get: ~ The following packages have been kept back ~ initrd-tools when I do an 'apt-get upgrade'. I get the same result when I do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. All other packages upgrade without any problem. When I first got the 'error' I wasn't using an initrd-kernel, but right now I do (2.4.18). There's no difference as to the problem with the initrd-tools package. I don't use dselect or aptitude, but the status of initrd-tools is "install" This is what I get with dpkg: ~box17:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep initrd ~initrd-tools install ~box17:~# dpkg --status initrd-tools ~Package: initrd-tools ~Status: install ok installed Does anyone know what's going wrong and what I can do to fix it?

It seems > there's is so much that can go wrong with Linux... Oh, just about as many things can go wrong with that other OS as well, you just don't have a list full of helpful people when that thing hits the crapper. :) Okay, normally a linux system when it boots will automatically run 'fsck' for you when it finds the maximal mount count has been reached. For some reason, you system is not doing this and it would probably be worth the trouble to figure out why (unfortunately I can't help you with that). Here's the short answer to your situation. You're going to need something like LOAF (linux on a floppy). Your Debian install disk should work nicely. Stick in the disk (make sure you change the bios setting to boot from that drive, if necessary) and start the machine. If you're using the Debian install disk, when you see the intro screen, hit CTRL+ALT+F2. This will give you a root shell. Now, let RPART='Your root linux partition' (for me, this is /dev/hda2, yours is probably something similar). So what you'll do now is say: # fsck -A $RPART Any changes that are presented to you (like missing or changed inodes), just accept. Let fsck do whatever needs to be done to repair the fs. While you're at it, if you have any other ext2 partitions, go ahead and fsck them as well (don't worry about your swap partition). After you finish checking/repairing all of your filesystems, probably the easiest way out is to (remove the boot disk and) reboot. You now should be up and running. After that's all said and done, you will probably want to upgrade your fs to ext3 (if it's not there already). First, you'll want to make sure that you have a kernel that can read ext3 at boot time (i.e., either uses an initial ramdisk image, or has ext3 built in to the kernel). Next, you'll want to read this article at debianplanet: http://www.debianplanet.org/article.php?sid=627 Good luck. Let us know if you need more help. -- Stephen W.

Thanks for that Karsten. I just hadn't installed the kdebase-crypto package for some reason. Still find that it had some difficulty with some of the government department sites that use active server pages. But then I have to tell opera to identify itself as MSIE 5.0 in order for it to load those pages anyway. Otherwise I get a little message saying error and telling me to close the application and try again. Changing the id konqueror gives to the site hasn't made any difference.

I've never really understood dpi under X. I start X by specifying 100 dpi. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but it makes my fonts a better size. Here's a dumb question. What's the purpose of the different dpi fonts? Does it allow you to use a higher resolution on a smaller screen but not have tiny fonts? I have a 19" CRT. At 1024 resolution I have 72dpi horz. So I know images that someone created at 72dpi look about the same on my monitor as they did when they were created. On linux I run at 1152 horz so my dpi is more like 81.
