I suggest creating ~/.xinitrc; the quick and dirty way is to just put a
bunch of window managers/environments in this file, and comment out all
but the one you want. For example:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk> cat .xinitrc
#icewm
#xterm
#wmaker
startkde
#xfce
#gnome-session

Then just "startx".

(This assumes you don't already have an .xinitrc file; if you do, you
might have to get more complex than this to make it all fit together.)

"t" is the "sticky bit". Applied to a file, it makes the file a
"TSR"-type file (Terminate and Stay Resident, from the MS-DOS days); it
keeps the file in memory for faster access. It seems odd that
wvdial.conf would be set this way, but as mentioned earlier, I don't use
it (I don't do dial-up anymore - yea!! :-D ). Applied to a directory it
makes files in that directory deletable only by the owner (such as the
files in /tmp).

Yes, that's what I meant.

Depending on the previous test, I'd then rename one of those, test
again, and then again a third time if necessary. All we're doing is
making sure which file(s) that wvdial is trying to read.

The more I think about it, the less I think these permissions are
correct. For one thing, I'm fairly confident that the group ownership
should be "dialout" instead of "root".

I believe I'd purge and then reinstall wvdial, and maybe.

Don't you just love sentence fragments? They're so very.

Seriously, ignore the partial. I was going to say I might would also
purge/reinstall the ppp-related stuff, but then I remembered that wvdial
is more-or-less standalone (I think).

i can open correctly windows for "demo" and "helpwin" but i get the same error

perhaps it is related to this warning i get when i start matlab:

Re: sarge and kvm-switch

[Rudi Starcevic]

Hi,

I also had some KVM problems with Sarge.
The only fix I found was to use the latest kernel, which at the time was
2.6.11

Using this kernel make the KVM issue go away.
HTH.

Ok, Xeno get some rest. You've earned it. Here are some things to try.
1. Reboot and see what the boot up messages are regarding alsa. If it
scrolls by to fast you can see them by typing dmesg at the command line.
Is alsa installing correctly? I would guess not based on the unresolved
symbols msgs you are getting when you run alsaconf.
2. Assuming the worst, i.e. alsa is not installed correctly then get
ready for some fun. In my experience the unresolved symbols msgs result
from the alsa module being out of synch with the kernel you are using.
Even the tiniest change of the kernel will have this effect. I got it
when I went from 2.6.8-15 to 2.6.8-16 (or something like that). You have
to compile the alsa-driver package yourself. But why oh why oh why are
you using the 2.4 kernel? To spare yourself a lot of grief why not just
upgrade your kernel to 2.6.8 (see the list archives for how to do this -
but IT IS EASY - far easier than sticking with your 2.4 kernel) and it
will work.
3. If you really want to go ahead with your 2.4 kernel let us know and
I'll carry on with instructions. When you get up tomorrow you might want
to look at this:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=Soundtrack+Audio+DSP+24.&chip=440MX%2C+i810%2C+i810%2C+i810E%2C+i820%2C+i820&module=intel8x0

You could have a look at   http://easyspeedy.com which seems a bit cheaper.

I haven't used them myself but they regularly advertise on

So I installed 2.6.11-1-k7 (out of testing), but the

Create manually a database under oracle9i

[nicolas.kosmalski]

Hi,

If someone use (or know how to use) Oracle9i, i try to create a Database
with the DBCA (the  assistant to create database easily). But it bug on
my debian (Maybe i need another patch, and people who try to install
oracle9i under debian, know how it's hard to do it!)

If DBCA don't go as well i need, i need to create manually my Database.
So if someone know a good adress to find such informations!! Or know how
to do ...

Or if someone know how to make DBCA don't bug (Error 03113 "end of
communication on the channel" at the creation of instance).

And if my english is horrible, excuse me

Thanks.

As the Oracle advertising claimed ... Oracle 9i - uninstallable.

Or was it unbreakable ?

Try Oracle 10g it is so much easier to install and set up under Linux 
and if you take sarge's default server (if I remember correctly) package 
list it is an absolute doddle.

I had a similar issue a while back and found that I had varying levels
of success with different kernels.  This one works:
2.6.8-2-686  but I recall having trouble with the install i386 kernel.

A long shot but worth trying a different kernel.

Plain text mail-merge

[Frank Copeland]

I'm looking for a tool that can do the equivalent of the mail-merge
feature found in any decent word processor, but with plain text files.
I'm sure there has to be such a beast but I've apt-search'd and
freshmeat'd with various combinations of "mail merge text substitution"
to no avail. I'm sure an hour or so with perl or python will produce
the goods for my specific case but I find it hard to believe there's no
general purpose tool already available.

Hi Anthony. Any more specific details? What is it dependent on that is
failing? I presume you might be using sarge (stable) and have upgraded
to unstable? Did you use wajig to do this?

What is your LANG set to?  It seems to work fine me as long as you

No I hadn't ;-)

logging out is not something I'm willing to do [*], BTW I'm running KDE

For instance Mplayer works, mpg123 works in the console as well and if I

"suspended".

b) I've played them before with xmms and I can play them with mplayer or
amaroK.

xmms will skip the first 13 and stop at the 14th and happily play this
one. 

If I try to select any other song, they will all be skipped and xmms
stops at the last song again and plays it.

If I remove the last song, xmms skipps all and now stops at stops at
current last song.

Shuffling the playlist makes xmms stop at the last song in the
playlist...



If I hit the repeat button "REP" (which I had on by default), I get the
behavior I had before: all songs in the list including the one that was
just playing start to be skipped and none will play.

If I use random "RAND", xmms will be flipping songs for some 3 secs and
then will start playing a random song. But I can't select "next". 

If I click on another title, same thing happens, bunch are skipped and
xmms stops at a random one. 

I would guess that it is skipping N-1 out of N songs and stopping at the
last Nth random song since once this song is done with xmms will do all
the jumping and skipping again but it won't actually play the newly
selected song.

Any ideas?

  

At least now I'm sure (?) (no! never sure)... at least now I'm more
confident that this is not my fault ;-)

I've been using XMMS for years now because it looks so much like WinAmp. 
I love(d) WinAmp so I'm looking for an Audio (not with Video support) 
player in Debian that works like XMMS/WinAmp...

What would you suggest? The ones you mentioned are all Video players, 
aren't they?

No, I've been following unstable for many months. In fact, I discovered
that synaptic and aptitude had also been removed, but I've reinstalled
those without problems. I've been using wajig routinely for some time.

The message I get now is:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  wajig: Depends: python-apt but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Rescue CD blues

[Johann Spies]

I want to make a rescue CD which will enable me to quickly rebuild a

A 'ls' of that device shows the permissions as "--w---  1 root

They play audio just fine, though.  I tend to use vlc, but any of them

I want it to be as minimalistic as possible. Well, not as minimalistic 
as a console program, but you catch my drift ;)

So no video support and no visualisations :)

How to use apt-get through proxy server

[prabusubroto]

Dear my friends...

I work at a workstation and my workstation is associated in a LAN. My internet 
connection is only through http proxy server. So if I want to go to internet, I 
have to set my internet browser for the ip number and the port number of the 
proxy server such as http://10.152.16.10:8080.

Now, I have to get and install some softwares from the internet for my debian 
linux. I want to use apt-get (I am tired of dependancy problem) but connected 
to the internet only through proxy server. How can I do that?

I now /etc/apt/sources.list. but there, I can only define the server of 
destination such as ftp://ftp.de.debian.org but I can not define the proxy 
server of our LAN and also its port number.

Please tell me.

Thank you very much.

I'm coming in late on this.  Aptitude threatened to remove itself here
(sid) during the last couple of upgrades because apt and apt-utils were
being upgraded but aptitude is dependant on the currently installed
version; so I held apt and apt-utils.

I suspect that you're seeing this behaviour because you've upgraded
these to 0.6.38 but synaptic/aptitude depend on 0.5.28.6.

You could downgrade these two packages manually to rectify the problem
perhaps?

I've gave a try to the programs you mention.

I could run all of them except vlc, which crashes here
~ % vlc
VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceDoesNotExist raised
"Service "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"

Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  serial 255 error_code 2 request_code 45 minor_code 0
  
  
  
I don't fell like using any of them.

The reason is that as far as I could tell (please correct if I missed it),

- none of them allows me to order the files numerically. 

- none of them allows me to select all files in a directory without actually
selecting all of them, 

- none provides a "recursive include all files in dir" function.

They all played the mp3s, but then mpg123 will also do that and there I can,
at least, sort numerally (through the command line arg order). 

(BTW, I do use Mplayer to listen to the radio)

I know this used to be a common problem, but I was not aware that newer
KVM systems had this problem.  IIRC from conversations past, you want
electronic KVM switches, not mechanical ones, so they can fake a
keyboard/mouse.

However, I've had not problems with my relatively new KVM switch.  I was
under the impression that these problems have largely gone away over the
years.  But I do get a "lost signal" message a lot, but that's a
power saving "feature" that is remedied by pressing [shift]

Thanks for the information.  Looks like the apt upgrade is breaking a
few dependencies.  I am getting the same problem now! I'll have a look
to see what needs to be done for wajig. As suggested, downgrading apt
and apt-util and then putting them on hold might allow wajig to be
reinstalled.

dh-make-perl

[Tom Allison]

I'm running into some difficulties with dh-make-perl, but right now they
are kind of wishlist issues...  I am wondering if there is some way to
automate the following:

Normally when doing a CPAN install it can be configured to automatically
get additional dependency modules.

using dh-make-perl --build --cpan, is there some way to either:
auto-get/ask these modules to complete the build?
pre-test the installation to find dependencies before the tests fail?

I'm finding it's a very nice tool, but there's some interations that
I'm hoping to avoid.

I think we missed to put a semicolon (;) at the end of the line. That's

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[[user][:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]";

I've fixed the issue now. The problem was that I had removed (with mdadm

When mkinitrd ran as part of installing the new kernel, it didn't detect 
both raid devices and only set up an initial ram disk capable of 
detecting one of the mirrors.


To fix, I added the missing mirror (with mdadm --add), waited for the 
raid device to sync up and then re-ran mkinitrd and lilo.

cupsd - Allow from LAN not working

[Clive Menzies]

Hi

I have two servers running cupsd (sarge) and can administer their
printers, locally, as member of the group lpadmin.

For convenience I want to be able to administer both printers from
anywhere on the network.  Historically, I've used ssh/lynx but for
users, I would like to allow them access via http://server:631

I've edited the cupsd.conf file as follows:

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*

as per man cupsd.conf but I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.

I've also tried 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.0/24 without success; I have
restarted cupsys after each edit.

Has anyone got this working or should I report a bug?  of course I
may have missed something blindingly obvious ;)

Regards

Clive

It means that the file libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 does not exist.  The

   One of the nice things about xmms is that it can be controlled from
   the command line or a script, or button in a file manager. The
   xmmsctrl command adds more control that the basic xmms.

I tried out aptitude, and I think i'll use that from now on. I'm glad 
its console based, excellent for remote admin. I think I got aptitude 
mixed up with synaptic which I tried a while ago but didn't like.


The reverse dependancy thing would be awsome, since I often think "do i 
really need this, why is it installed?". i'd better rtfm.


I'm liking Debian more and more!! :D

With the drive plugged in, what is the output of 'lsusb' (you may need
to install the usbutils package if you don't already have it) and what
is the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/sda'?

That is quite strange.  Did you try mounting it and specifying the
filesystem type?  Something like 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /pen' may yield
better results?  You may also want to try fat and msdos as filesystem
types.  Also, make sure that the filesystems, msdos, fat and vfat are
compiled into the kernel or loaded as modules.  You can see a complete
list of the file systems your kernel can handle by running 'cat
/proc/filesystems'.

Can you show us the line for sda1 in your /etc/fstab file? If the mount
point is /pen, it should be trying to mount /dev/sda1, not /mnt/sda1 on
the /pen mount point.

Jacob

Some time ago I switched (after many years of using xmms) to amaroK.
It's not exactly minimalistic at all, but it is a purpose-built and very
capable audio player. It is the only player that I've tried that fits my
use patterns from xmms and winamp. I recommend you give it a shot.

Der Rechner ist neuester Generation.
Die Installation beginnt auch bleibt dann jedoch nach kurzer Zeit stehen.
Vermutlich fehlt hier ein oder mehrere Treiber, da auch unter XP ein Treiber

Möglicherweise ist das bei Linux auch.
Können Sie da weiterhelfen?

Most likely, the partition table of the pen is read when the device is
*accessed* for the first time (by the 'fdisk' command), at which point
/dev/sda1 gets created.

The solution is to access the device first (e.g. by typing 'fdisk -l
/dev/sda' and then mount /dev/sda1.

Yes.  Also change vfat to auto, so that if you happen to use a USB drive
that has a filesystem that is not FAT, it will be automatically

Hi List

I have an entry in my apache.conf file like so.

DocumentRoot /var/lib/clamav

Every Time type in my URL and leave out the alias, the Dspam alias still 
kicks in and for the likes of me, I cant figure it out.


all I want is to have the listing of clamav files, and is I want to see 
my dspam stuff, I will then add the alias.
I have a few other alias that work (for e.g. sarg, squint etc) but as 
soon as I want a directory listing the dspam is displayed.


If anyone has any advice / tips etc, please dont hesistate in contacting me

Kind Regards
Brent Clark

Re: Dialer Problems-Only Pon Works

[Gayle Lee Fairless]

I'm having some of the same issues that Leonard has.  The wvdial 
doesn't appear to work on 2.6 kernels.  I've scripted the tests as high as 
kernel 2.6.12.  It seems that the connection is immediately lost with only 
0.0 or 0.1 minutes connection time reported.

I am going to use scanModem as he did to see if changing modems 
from my external Hayes to the internal one will work.  Also, the pppd (I 
think) seems to randomly dial up the ISP.  I've gotten errors 1 and 16 on 
different occasions from the pppd daemon as documented in man pppd.  The 
program wvdial (and version, 54 something, I'm doing this off the top of 
the head from work.), same version as Len's, works just fine on kernel 
2.4.18-bf2.4 (the one available in woody).

My box is a Gateway 500 upgraded from woody to sarge.

I'll try to post more information when I get home especially in 
response to questions.  Some of this is a 'work in progrss' so I don't 
have some of the answers (actually many!).  I have yet to try out a script 
in kppp to see if that works.  Both Len and I probably run KDE 3.3 from 
sarge.

Lexmark X125 with CUPS

[Jon Roed]

Does anyone know of a printer driver for the Lexmark X125 All-in-one printer 
that will work with CUPS ?  The printer driver from linuxprinting.org 
supposedly only works with LPRng (and i haven't managed to get it to work 
with CUPS).  Would it be worth switching to LPRng ?  I e-mailed Lexmark's 
tech support and they told me to use their Linux Printer Driver Development 
Kit and basically write my own driver (thanks guys, great tech support).  
Anyone with any info, or maybe another driver they written, some help would 
be greatly appreciated.

gsview libgs.so

[Ulrich Scholz]

Hi,

I try to use gsview.  It compliled fine but it misses the ghostscript
shared library
libgs.so.  I cannot find it as Debian package.

It seems to be necessary to compile it by hand. Can anyone give me a
walk-through? Does it cause problems with the Debian gs-apfl package?

Thanks for your help.

Uli


PS. I know of other gs viewers, like gv.  I'm interested in gsview
because it allows text search of the ps file and displays it as ps.

No security updates for sarge ?

[Hannes Mayer]

Hi all!

I've been wondering the past few days why there are no updates via
"apt-get update/upgrade" (I have the correct entries in
sources.list!). A few days ago I was reading at heise.de
(http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/61076) that the security team
seems to have "disappeared". In a previous thread I was reading that
some updates are in the queue, but have not been released yet.
I've seen some debian core team members posting on this list, so maybe
someone can clarify what's happening.

Thanks & best regards,
Hannes.

Re: mdadm: raid not working after stop/reboot

Quoting Kristian Rink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:



Hi Mike;

and, at first, thanks loads for your mail.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb:


I found it easier not use the mdadm.conf file at all. I simply deleted

However, without it, your partitions and/or disks that are going to be

autodetect.


Yeah, I read about this and did this,all partitions to be used within
the array are type "FD". Even though this doesn't seem to change anything.


Then create your array, format it, mount it, set it in /etc/fstab and
reboot.
It should work. Perhaps give us some details of your /proc/mdstat or
try hunting through dmesg to see if there any errors when the array is
trying to be built upon a boot up.


I'm hardly able to do any diagnostics on that since the information I
get is pretty limited. Basically, I created the array, xfs-formatted it,
put it into fstab and mounted it - worked well. Umounting, remounting
and everything worked as long as the array was running. After rebooting,
the array seemed gone. I don't get any useful error messages, just an
"XFS SB error" when trying to mount the array (which is not running at
this time), and when I try to start the array (mdadm -R /dev/md0), I
just get something like "/dev/md0 has no devices" (though the real
behaviour and message changes differing with the kernel version used).


Have you tried zeroing all the superblocks before you create a new array?
You could even try to dpkg-reconfigure mdadm as well.
What command did you use to build the array? (just curious)
Even without formating it, the array should come up and be syncing
itself after a reboot.

Procedure for upgrading kernel from 2.4 to 2.6

[Tony Terlecki]

I've recently installed a new machine using the 'testing' branch and it
came with a stock 2.4.27 kernel. I'd like to move to a custom 2.6 kernel
but I'm not not sure of the procedure.

Is it as simple as installing kernel-package, a 2.6 kernel source
package, running make-kpkg against it then installing the .deb?
Or am I living in a dream world?!

Newer versions of chkrootkit (0.45, for example) allow you to run in a
"diff mode" that suppresses day-to-day duplicate hits.  You can turn this
option on with 'dpkg-reconfigure chkrootkit'.

Debian Base Install to many un-necessary packages?

[David Nicholls]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I've just downloaded the latest netinst iso of debian.

I usually do not select any packages to install when prompted, and
although the installer still insists on installing a large number of
unneeded files (dictionarys, nano etc) I usually press contol-C to
cancel that and then manually add vim and ssh... which is really all I
ever want, at least initally.

However, on the latest version, the control-C did not actually stop the
installation!

Any ideas on how to stop this?

Thanks

I successfully installed a driver for one of their all-in-ones. I never bought 
the unit but the driver installed. There is no support for their scanner 
capability is twain. I did not buy it because I did not want to take a 
chance. Their "development kit" is a misnomer and will not enable you to 
write a driver if you knew how?

Google for the URL of where to get these drivers (they are from Lexmark).

Very strange though--since IBM is in the forfront of Linux development--that 
there is no proper Linux support for their printers!

Why not let it finish rather than trying to interrupt the process, and
then purge the packages you don't want? Seems a lot less prone to
breakage. The base system installed PPP for me (makes sense to have it
in the base), but I purged it and now it is gone.

If you're installing to a lot of systems, like in a computer lab, then do
it once and clone the drive.

Is your user a member of the dip and dialout groups? If not, then:

adduser lchata dip
adduser lchata dialout

then log out and back in.

security (auth/apache)

[Tom Middleton]

Hello,
I am new to this list, so I hope what I am asking
hasn't already been covered. I am wondering how I can
setup my box so that persons trying to login cannot
keep trying from the same IP address, my auth.log is
huge from a couple IPs that have been trying to login
i believe via ssh, its not that I want to lock it out
if they try too many different passwords, its that
they are cycling through user names, also, is there a
way to block ips for a certain amount of time when
they are attempting to get through apache? For
instance trying to use skripts that work on M$ IIS? I
just want to stop useless process time on my machine
by people who aren't going to get anything anyway. I
feel that it is mostly annoying while trying to read
through logs to find legitimate traffic.
Thank you in advance for any assistance,
Tom Middleton

Adding the user manually is fine.

Since that's not the problem, and since I'm not a user of dialup, I'm
out of ideas. Hopefully others will be able to help.

Hello Gayle,
Kent West just fixed my wvdial by having me purge/reinstall wvdial.  I had
no dialout group in wvdial.conf only root.  Looks like another faultly 
install.
The reinstall fixed it for me including being able to run it as user.  
Wvdial
definately works on 2.6.* kernels.  However, your problem is slightly 
different

from mine as mine never connected at all.  Are you using demand dialing in
provider or pppd config.  This may account for the random access by wvdial
or pppd.  It does look like you may have pppd configuration issues and a 
purge/
reinstall may cure it.  In many cases it has for me.  I'm no expert, of 
course, and
don't fully understand the pppd error messages, but I do remember 
getting message
nos. 0 and 1 when I first setup kppp.  I fixed it when I discovered 
kppp.options in /etc/ppp,
I think, and it had only one entry "noauth" commented out.  Uncomenting 
it fixed it.
Go ahead and get your onboard modem working if its supported, but I 
don't think it will
fix wvdial.  It's got to be a bad install like mine or a config issue.  
I'd try purge/reinstall first
on wvdial and then on ppp or pppd if wvdial alone didn't fix things.  It 
can't hurt and if your
lucky may fix it all.  Good luck.  One thing I learned, I think, is that 
the default configurations
usually work right out if the box if the original install wasn't faulty 
and a purge/reinstall generally

will fix a faulty initial install.

This, I'm not so sure of. I've seen some odd stuff with xmms in relation
to sound daemons. I'm sure there's some logical pattern to it, but I've
never been able to entirely discern it. Thus my recommendation to
simplify your environment. Since you can't currently do that at the
moment, I'm not convinced that you'll readily find the solution, but
that's just based on my limited experience, not on any real knowledge.

Again, it's been my experience that just because one player works, that
doesn't mean another will. I've particularly had difficulty getting
multiple players to play when one of those is xmms, and particularly
when in KDE which tries to keep a sound daemon running.

It looks like rsync is trying to use a symbol that's defined
in a library that you don't have installed. Presumably you
installed rsync on machine B, but didn't install one of the
packages that rsync depends on. This is called 'dependency
hell.'

I'm more familiar with Debian than with Red Hat, but I did
have some experience with Mandrake. The Mandrake 'urpmi'
command normally resolves dependency problems. It may also
be available under Red Hat proper; I'm not sure.

goes by, MailScanner will just idle, even there are many messages
waiting in the postfix hold queue. The execution result of
"check_mailscanner" told me that it is fine, but actually it just stop
working !!! There is nothing in the log. Does anybody know what happen
?? Thanks.

If I had to guess offhand, I'd bet that startx isn't in your
PATH. Which would be odd, given that startx is in /usr/bin.
So try this:

ls -la /usr/bin/startx

at the command line and see what you get.

If nothing is listed there, then ... um ... that's a
problem. We'll cross that bridge etc.

routing in debian

[Khanh Cao Van]

I have 2 PC A and B  ,

The A has 2 ethernet card call eth0 ( IP 10.0.0.4/24 )  and eth1 (
192.168.60.2/24 ) . I have enable fowarding between those 2 ethernet :
cvkhanh:/etc/network# cat options
ip_forward=yes

The B has one ethernet card eth0 ( 192.168.60.4/24 ) and the default
gateway is 192.168.60.2 ( the eth1 of A ) .

In A I set route table as :

Kernel IP routing table

ping -I eth0 192.168.60.4 , B not answer .

Tried with B :

Mm ... find |grep startx is a highly inefficient way of
doing what you want to do. That lists every single file on
your hard disk and finds any matching startx. At the very
least, you'd want to just use 'locate startx'. But really
you should just do

ls /usr/bin/startx

That will be the fastest way to do what you want.

You probably don't have X installed. I'm not totally
comfortable with how all the X client and server packages
fit together, but you can use 'dlocate startx' to see that
the package xbase-clients contains 'startx'. So do

sudo apt-get install xbase-clients

There's probably an easy way to add in all the packages that
you need to get a GNOME or KDE desktop running. In fact, I'd
bet that there's one single package you can install which
depends on all the packages you need, hence installs
everything properly. Can someone else on this list point the
gentleman to the proper package(s)?

You can run "tasksel" I believe and choose "Desktop Environment".

But what I'd do is "aptitude install x-window-system kde gnome".

Why spend time getting more skills on a system which might die?


For one thing, it's not a patent issue, per se at its core, which I
will try to explain below.  For another thing before you can propose
and agree on the best collective response, you have to sort out the
issues connected to the problem and these are very complex, which I
also will try to explain in following paragraphs.  Otherwise you may
end up with some common-denominator response that is sub-optimal or
useless (e.g. an email writing campaign), or worse, fails entirely
to address the root problem.

IMNSHO there will always be some countries that outlaw some kinds of
free software, but it's unlikely that all countries will outlaw any
kinds of free software.  Therefore the obvious answer I think, is to
set up servers in locations that are free of such laws.  And even in
the unlikely event that all countries outlaw some kinds of software
(e.g. via treaties) there have been proposals for dealing with that
as well.  I have read articles about locating certain types of
services on the high seas although I don't know if any of those exist
now.

If my opinion is shared by the majority then it could make sense to
deal with problems like European patent law not primarily by lobbying
or hiring lawyers but by seeking alternative services that provide
some immunity to such problems.  This of course will not solve the
problem of local censorship but at least isolates it to the respective
local areas, which seems like the first priority, and one which may
give the Debian community far more direct control over its own future,
per Euro spent, than lobbying governments around the globe.

So my proposal in a nutshell is that maybe there is more "bank for
the [buck/Euro]" in helping the internet do a better job, compared
to persuading governments to be more free.  The former is a concrete
task, but the latter exists in the realm of hopes and dreams, like
the dream for world peace. Always a goal, but not always a concrete
agenda.

Perhaps a prior, pertinent and more pressing issue is how the Debian
policy handles the issues.  For example, we have the Marillat
repository which seems to be in a kind of limbo -- neither Debian
nor non-Debian.  I'm sure this is all for political and legal reasons,
and has nothing to do with "free software" except perhaps, insofar
as how "free software" is defined with respect to restrictions by
various local ordinances, which of course are the types of censorship
which the internet is designed to circumvent by design.

An example of one of many cans of worms this opens is the well-known
disagreement between the Debian developers (or at least, a large portion
of Debian developers) and the FSF on the definition of "free software,"
that came up in connection with the GFDL which seems to be rooted in
the definition of the word "software" itself.  This illustrates how
the worms in those opened cans include a complex mixture of legal,
political and philosphical issues.

(Furthermore, I don't know why the disagreement is cast in terms of Debian
developers instead of both Debian users *and* developers, as if users are
second class, but I assume that's probably yet another political can of
worms, this one connected to the Debian Constitution.)

I suspect all these issues must be addressed before it's possible to
converge upon an optimal solution.  I also hope that it's possible to
gloss over some of them (i.e. "agree to disagree") because I think some
of them are intractible.  That's another reason why I favor an approach
that favors "putting on our technical hats" and solving the problems as
technical and censorship issues rather than playing armchair politician
and trying to get everyone to agree on other aspects of the problem.

question about sarge and Sony Vaio PCG V505 EX

[Marcelo Chiapparini]

Hi all,

I want to install sarge in a Sony Vaio PCG V505 EX laptop. I didn't find 
anything about it in the list. Besides, in the site 
http://www.linux-laptop.net/ there is only information about woody and gentoo 
on a Vaio PCG V505 BX...  Does anybody in this list have any experience with 
sarge and PCG V505 EX?


Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards

Marcelo

Then it is still handy to know which packages are on hold at the
moment.  I don't seem to have any of those now, so I can't test it
easily, but the following should give a list of packages that are not
in the install state:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v install

Re: cupsd - Allow from LAN not working

[John Miller]

This'll probably tend towards the obvious side, but make sure that you've 
got your LAN's IP range listed in both the

 and 
sections.  Can the workstations submit print jobs and just not access the 
admin stuff, or are they totally CUPS-disabled?

Hi 


I have two servers running cupsd (sarge) and can administer their

For convenience I want to be able to administer both printers from

users, I would like to allow them access via http://server:631 

I've edited the cupsd.conf file as follows: 


## Restrict access to local domain

Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.* 


as per man cupsd.conf but I get:

I've also tried 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.0/24 without success; I have
restarted cupsys after each edit. 


Has anyone got this working or should I report a bug?  of course I
