Bluez - PIN

[debian]

Running sid.

After a recent upgrade - my phone can no longer pair.

I see the rfcomm0 port opened, and the phone then asks for a pin (I'm a
little confused here - since it's already been paired and registered in
the phone's list of devices).

But - no pin works - I just get "Pin Mismatch" on the phone. No prompt
for a pin on the laptop either.

I've attached the two config files below. Note that changing the
security setting from auto to user - still no prompt on the laptop
(after any changes to these files I've run /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart)

I tried removing the device from the phone's list - same thing.
Restarted the phone and the phone's bluetooth. No change.

Oddly there is a /etc/bluetooth/pin file that also contains just the string

1234

This _may_ be a hangover from older versions.

Packages:

ii  bluez-hcidump   1.31-1
ii  bluez-pin   0.30-2.1
ii  bluez-utils 3.1-2

Where does bluez-pin fit in when hcid.conf has a local passkey set?



So - how do I get rid of this pin mismatch error on the phone?


/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

rfcomm0 {
  bind yes;
  device ;
  channel 1;
  comment "S700i GPRS";
}

/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

# HCId options

AFAIK the package is called "libpdflite5". I have

deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian sid main contrib non-free restricted

in my sources.list and I find

$ apt-cache policy libpdflite5
libpdflite5:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 6.0.3-1duo+etch1
  Version table:
 6.0.3-1duo+etch1 0
500 http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org sid/non-free Packages

I think you will still have to compile gnuplot yourself to enable pdf
terminal support. I was always to lazy for that, so I just use

set terminal postscript eps enhanced color solid rounded
set output "plotname.eps"

and add one line to the end of my gnuplot scripts:

!epstopdf plotname.eps && rm plotname.eps

That will give you nice, compact PDF plots with far less hassle.
(epstopdf is included in the package "tetex-bin")

I can send you a complete example script off-list if you want.

Hi Pol,
Maybe you want file. At the command line if you type
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Films$ file myfilm.avi
you get:
myfilm.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 576, 25.00 fps, video:

Is this what you want?

Thank you all for the hints.
What I did was actually go back to kernel 2.6.15 where my oldconfig
worked.
Then from 2.6.15 I upgraded to 2.6.16 and this time it didn't break.
And finally the step form 2.6.16 to 2.6.17 was successful. It took me
all night to compile kernels and test!
This was my toughest ever update of my Debian box!
A few days ago I migrated from XFree86 to Xorg, it was painful too.
Debian used to be the easiest to upgrade Operating System, now I find it
very frustrating...
I didn't realise that my omitting several kernel releases would break
things. By means of oldconfig I some time ago upgraded from 2.4.27 to
2.6.8 kernel without any problems! This is ridiculous. What if I were
running Debian Stable and decided to give Unstable a go (which is a very
common scenario)? The migration from 2.6.8 to 2.6.17 would definitely
break!
I know this is what Unstable is all about.
Don't get me wrong - I am not complaining much.
But I am sure there are users that will not have the patience to solve
their problems and my current post's aim is to ask if there is a way of
avoiding such major omissions.

Best regards and enjoy our favourite distro

VS: SMS Gateway

[Tommi Pisto]

If you are looking free open source gateway, test Kannel
(http://www.kannel.org).

But if you need really easy, non production gateway for personal purposes,
plug your Nokia phone to your computer with a cable and send messages using
Gnokii (http://www.gnokii.org). In gnokii package there is an awesome
application that connects to MySQL (or Postgres) database and adds incoming
messages to INBOX -table and sends messages out that has been put to OUTBOX
-table. Using triggers, you can easily make SMS services that take some
commands and sends messages back.

But as said, for commercial large scale applications, I recommend Kannel.

Best regards,

Tommi Pisto

apt-cdrom on iso mount

[Nick Wright]

I'm having some trouble getting apt to use a mounted .iso image on my
hdd.

I've set it up in my /etc/fstab as:

/root/debian-31r2-i386-binary-1.iso /mnt/deb_iso1 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0

and then ran the following

# apt-cdrom -d /mnt/deb_iso1 -m add

no problem so far..

I now have this in my /etc/apt/sources.list:

And there's the problem -- why does it want to use /cdrom/ when I told
it the cdrom mount point was /mnt/deb_iso1?

Can I edit the sources.list file to override the cdrom mount point for
each .iso I want to use?

Hi Chavdar,

I hadn't noticed this thread earlier, so I am a bit late in the thread.
However did you notice that all netfilter related settings have moved to
another section? That at least explains why 'make oldconfig' messed up
those settings. There was a notice/warning about this some time ago. I
am not sure I read it on this list though.

Well there is only one or two supported Versions of M$, but more than

I know it is Technically. If you have all proper dependencies, 
"includes", "dev" packages - it works. 
But trying to guess what components I should install to satisfy all

Commercial software is equipped with clear and intuitive helps and

ocean for anybody who provides linux  based IT services. Cost of software 
vs cost of expertise ;)


This is simply not true. It might be true that some commercial software 
comes with excellent manuals and help, but for example Window$ XP 
doesn't. Over years people have learned to do things the M$-way and 
learned to accept it as the 'given way' no matter if it's logically 
sound, well documented or not.


I'm sure that once you've become a bit more familiar with the 'debian 
way' you will agree that it is


- better documented (look at /usr/share/doc/package-name and man command)
- more intuitive
- works better 'out of the box' (once a package has made it into debian)

I found it a lot easier to switch from Win98 to Debian than from Win98 
to WinXP.

Postscript to the above: in the end it wasn't the /etc/defaults/cdrecord

Hi,

You can find fwbuilder http://www.fwbuilder.org
It's not so bad I think...

It's installed on a computer with X server, then it will automatically 
copy the files and apply the change by "ssh" using a sshkey to prevent 
password to be entered.


I'm not using it but I've tested it, and it sounds not too bad.

While I'm no expert, I believe the standard IDE driver in sarge DOES
support dma (otherwise my computers would be unusable; hdparm is not
installed).  I've had similar errors on a computer running sarge that
had hard disk and/or controller h/w problems.

I did not have those dma errors before the hardware problems.

You might install the smartmontools package to test and monitor the
disks.  Perhaps someone else could advise on whether your lvm set-up
could be a factor.

Ralph

Shorewall[1] is excellent, both in terms of its feature set and the
quality of its documentation.

Excerpt from output of 'apt-cache show shorewall':

Shorewall allows you to describe your firewall/gateway
requirements using entries in a set of configuration files. It
reads those configuration files and, with the help of the
iptables utility, configures Netfilter to match your
requirements.

Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway
applications, traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN.

The first, eth0, is a sis900. And is working well, withou problems,
and when I load the 8139 modules, my sis900 still works fine, but I
can't set up the eth1, it says that "No such device"

The kern.log doesn't says much, only that I've loaded the 8139too and
8139cp modules, nothing but this.

OK, simple and hopefully not stupid question.  How many ethernet controllers
are in your machine?  My first impression is that 8139too is working fine and
picking up eth0.

If you really do have two controllers, what chip is the other one?  Are you
sure that the Realtek controller is coming up as eth1 and not eth0?

Look in the kernel log (/var/log/kern.log) to see if there's any more useful 
info.

Had 'em too. And smart monitor would also fail when these problems were 
occurring. Feared for the disk but so intermittant and no data problems when 
it was working. Found that jiggling the cables around could  fix or cause it 
so replaced the cables. Also clean and firm up all connections. (Turn 
everything off first, off course).

This sounds like the 8139D chipset is problematic:

You might have to use the Windows driver with ndiswrapper.

Hi,

You can find fwbuilder http://www.fwbuilder.org
It's not so bad I think...


Thanks I'm not using Xserver -- No GUI.



Sorry, I thought you mean no Xserver on the firewall...

So, this way, I recommand shorewall !!
It's nice and easy to use in older version so I new version it

I think firehol is very powerful, configuration is via editing 
/etc/firehol.conf. Simple needs are really easy to setup, and firehol is 
capable of setting up a fully-functional router, which is one of the things I 
use it for.

Yup ;-)
Here's what my file left me with after using the 1st Sarge CDROM (3.1rc1 at
that time). But; I have it (actually) commented out (a '#' prefixed to that
line), since I told the installer to no longer look there anymore.

~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

[...]

the above would be for Sarge - you may want to add 'contrib' and 'nonfree' to
the end (not sure). 
Ex; 
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main contrib non-free

Review 'man apt-cdrom'

Re: Read/Write files from a script?

[Bob McGowan]

The $(supports it.  But ash (at least the version I have) doesn't, so what to 
do if you want/need to be portable across all Bourne type shells?  There 
is a feature that will work in all the Bourne shells that I'm familiar 
with, using I/O redirection and 'exec':


exec 5fileName
while read inputLine
do
  something_on $inputLine
done <&5

And, if you need multiple files open for reading and/or writing, combine 
on one line with a single 'exec':


exec 4newFile 6>>existingAppend

And so on.  The general form to use the file descriptor created in the 
exec command line is 'redir-op&#', where # is the desired file 
descriptor and redir-op is one of '<' or '>'.  Note that when you use 
the append form to create the descriptor (as with 6, above) you do *not* 
use the append operator when using it.  '>&6' will append if 6 was 
created in append mode and overwrite if not.

USB hotplug woes

[Vandoorn, Yvo]

Hey everyone,

I'll admit my knowledge in the hotplug department isn't spectacular.

Currently I have a machine setup to run a script when a specific USB flash
drive is inserted. I did this by defining the script and vendor ID &
product ID in the usb.handmap file (/etc/hotplug/usb.handmap). This works
great and as expected. The script tells the device to mount and do a few
things.

So this works as expected, great. But now I want to future proof it a little
by only looking at the Vendor ID and then just running the script. However
usb.handmap requires a vendor & product ID in order for it to load. I can't
get this seem to work. Sure I can add each vendor & product ID for each
device I have, however that isn't really future proofing.

Currently I have usb.handmap to read:
key.sh  0x0003 0x054c   0x02a50x0100   0x
0x00 0x000x000x000x00
0x000x

And I have tried:

key.sh  0x0003 0x054c   0x0x   0x
0x00 0x000x000x000x00
0x000x

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi:

I tried this after Shorewall gave me some issues. I guess I'm going to
ask a newbie question, but so be it.

After installation I'm given the following error; 
# firehol start
# Stopping: /etc/default/firehol forbids it.

Now I followed along with a firehol config tutorial at;


and when I list my network interfaces I'm presented with the following;
1: lo:  mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
   link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fastqlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:c6:f0:53:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: sit0:  mtu 1480 qdisc noop link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

So am I correct in assuming that sit0 is my Internet side, and eth0 is
my Home/Lan ? I searched Google for 'sit0' and it appears to be a ipv6
thing -- is that assuption correct ?

I have my server in a DMZ through a broadband router/switch. So I assume
that eth0 would be my home side. Correct ?

Thanks.

Re: disappearing text in gtk apps in upgraded Sid

[Paolo Pantaleo]

2006/7/12, Andrew Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Indeed, the problem is libcairo2. Downgraded and things work fine...
(except that now all my package hierarchy is busted). Thanks for the
tip.

Here is a copy of the bug report I just submitted.

Asunto: libcairo2 problem with non-anti-aliased text
Fecha: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 10:11:14 -0500

Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.2.0-3
Severity: important

I just upgraded my Sid box (2006-07-11), and all of a sudden all of my
gtk-based apps are behaving all wonky. Basically in menus and widgets of
all kinds, including text areas, most text is invisible after the first
space of any line. Then when the control is highlighted, or when I
select text in a text area, the missing text is suddenly visible again.
This does not happen with OpenOffice, nor with KDE apps, nor with gtk
apps running on a different machine and forwarded over to the X server
on this machine.

This only happens if I am using non-anti-aliased text. If I choose
anti-aliased text in the gnome control center, the problem disappears.

When I downgrade to libcairo2 1.0.4-2 the problem goes away completely.
I have to re-start applicaitons for changes to take effect.

It does not seem to matter what font I use. Changing to the POSIX local
also doesn't seem to make a difference.

Attached is a screenshot of the problem.

Kernel: linux version 2.6.15-1-686
libc version: 2.3.6-15






I can't see your bug report on libcairo2 page, and I think there is no
bug report about this problem, if so I will send one in next days

Ok :-)

which module did u have load?

which kernel do u use?

u can do a search for yours ethernet card for discover a better module.

Doesn't is a wireless network card, really?

I created a directory in /usr/local/share/fonts called proggy, did a
mkfontdir and issued fc-cache -fv as root, so the font will be
systemwide.
It spat out alot of output including:
fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts": caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs
fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts/proggy": caching, 2 fonts, 0 dirs

So it appears it added the fonts? But xlsfonts still wont find them, I
even added:   FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/proggy" to my xorg.conf
but to no avail.

xlsfonts uses the old X11 font system. And mkfontdir creates index files
needed for it but only for the old pcf fonts. You want to use mkttfdir
instead, from the fttools package.

Re: USB hotplug woes

[chouck]

For what it's worth...
I find usb hotplug impossible to do wiht the 2.4.x kernel,
and it happens automagically with the 2.6.x kernel.

IF there is nothing stopping you from using a 2.6.x kernel
just apt-get install <2.6 kernel you need>
and there you have it. GRUB will show both kernels at boot time BTW..

To check your current kernel ls -l /lib/modules

To find the kernels avaliable
apt-cache search kernel-image |grep 2.6

BTW, I do not have /usr/local/share/fonts in xorg.conf file. I am not

http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

search for "script" on this page and your problem should be solved.

I have never done that. I know that with the 2.6 kernel (that I have on

Do you want the script to autorun whe  the usb device is pluged in? If so
do some googles on "auto run", there are some programs you can find to do
that for you. 

I have done it on windows cds that I want to start up a webpage for example

ICQ with Linux (was: Chatting with Debian GNU/Linux)

[Rodolfo Medina]

I've been following the various suggestions come from this list 
about the possibilities Linux offers to chat:
my family want to use `messenger' and ICQ, and before resigning myself
to use MS Windows I wanted to check all the possibilities.

My impression is that `gaim' manages to use the MSN protocol quite fine,
whereas for ICQ, nor `licq' neither `centericq' neither `gabber' (through
jabber network) can satisfactorily replace the richness of 
original ICQ for MS Windows. They only allow the mere IM function 
but don't really allow (as far as I saw) 
wide users search or multiple chat.

So I'll have to use MS Windows, although I wouldn't like.
If anybody has a different experience, i.e. finds that licq,
or any other application can perform those functions just or almost
just as the original does - and this means that I didn't manage to use 
them properly - please let me know, I'll be glad to have been wrong.

Thanks, cheers,
Rodolfo

Re: USB hotplug woes

[Vandoorn, Yvo]

I should've mentioned that there is no gui. Actually these are headless
servers, which is the need for scripts.

The goal is that if someone where to stick in an USB flash drive, the OS
would launch the necessary script do its thing and then take out the USB key
5 minutes later. The script basically initializes the network, runs apt-get
and programs the cron. It works great in the lab, however the flash drive we
used is no longer produced making it a pain for wide spread production.
Further more I tried the 2.6 kernel and the machine just went nuts only
because the SATA drives are suddenly seen as SCSI. Yes it is fixable but I'd
rather not customize it too far off the beaten path.

 Hey everyone,
 
 I'll admit my knowledge in the hotplug department isn't spectacular.
 
 Currently I have a machine setup to run a script when a specific USB flash
 drive is inserted. I did this by defining the script and vendor ID &
 product ID in the usb.handmap file (/etc/hotplug/usb.handmap). This works
 great and as expected. The script tells the device to mount and do a few
 things.
 
 So this works as expected, great. But now I want to future proof it a

 usb.handmap requires a vendor & product ID in order for it to load. I
> can't
 get this seem to work. Sure I can add each vendor & product ID for each
 device I have, however that isn't really future proofing.
 
 Currently I have usb.handmap to read:
 key.sh  0x0003 0x054c   0x02a50x0100   0x
 0x00 0x000x000x000x00
 0x000x
 
 And I have tried:
 
 key.sh  0x0003 0x054c   0x0x   0x
 0x00 0x000x000x000x00
 0x000x
 
 Anyone have any ideas?

Re: USB hotplug woes

[Vandoorn, Yvo]

I most certainly agree :-). Google is a very handy tool, however at this
point I can't use the 2.6 kernel (attempted, got a mess in return). These
machines are completely headless and basically this script is to configure
the machine for the user without plugging in a keyboard or mouse.

new installation not finding large memory

[Miles Fidelman]

Hi Folks,

I know I must be doing something very silly, but my brand new installation 
is only finding 1gig of the 4gig of ram installed in my brand new server.

Even if I stick a "mem=4096m" line as a boot option, it's still not 
showing up.  (the only suggestion I've seen in the reference materials).

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much,

Miles Fidelman

sid upgrade to libsane 1.0.18-2: error in udev rules

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi,


I just upgraded sid (July 18, 2006) and libsane got upgraded to version 
1.0.18-2.
It has an error in /etc/udev/libsane.rules: line 540 is too long (it's a 
comment and 557 chars. long) If you split up that comment the error goes 
away.

Which kernel do you use ?
I saw the same thing with a default i386 kernel.
When I switched to an i686-smp one (Xeon HT), I saw the light... Hum, the

udev might be able to do this.  Of course, that means having to
upgrade to 2.6.

Also there was a long "autorun" thread on this list earlier this
month.  Maybe that would help.

Hi, I have installed the package fttools and removed the directories in
/usr/share/fonts and /usr/local/share/fonts and now am simply working
from a ~/.fonts to keep things from getting confusing. 

I downloaded two other fonts from the same site to make sure it wasnt a
problem specific to that font.

I then did mkttfdir -ejwo .fonts
and then sudo fc-cache -fv

fc-cache created ~/.fonts/fonts.cache-1
and outputted fc-cache: "/home/orchid/.fonts": caching, 4 fonts, 0 dirs
which seems right as I have 4 fonts now.

the fonts.cache-1 file itself contains four entries similar to:

"PixelCarnageMono.ttf" 0"PixelCarnageMonoTT:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=80:wid
th=100:spacing=100:foundry=unknown:index=0:outline=True:scalable=True:charset= |

But xlsfonts still show no fonts from my ~/.fonts folder. 
I am trying to use the fonts in urxvt and in emacs if that matters. What
is frustrating is that on the previous Sid install, I had installed
these fonts wihout a problem and forgotten to document how I did it :)

newbie question

[Miles Fidelman]

Hi,

I'm trying to wring the nits out of a new installation.  One thing that's 
driving me crazy is that not all the boot messages end up in dmesg or 
syslog (for example, the memory size message seems to not be there).

This seems different that other unices I've used.

Are there some settings that control what's logged at boot time?

Thanks much,

Miles

what kernel are you using?
check /boot/config-$kernel
see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep CONFIG_HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep CONFIG_HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.8-2-k7 
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y

# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y

this is from a sarge system that i have, the 386 kernel wont support 
that much memory, but the k7 will, those are the only ones I have, but 
I'd bet that the 686 versions do as well.

I'm using the out-of-the-box i386 2.6 kernel that comes with the Sarge 
installer. 

So I guess I have to build a kernel?  Sigh...

you can just apt-get a new kernel
apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6 will show you the list of  available 
kernels, just pick the one that is right for your system

If your processor is a 686 compatible, use the i686 from sarge !
If you have an athlon, use the k7 one.
There's more than one "out-of-the-box" kernel in sarge.

Anydata CDMA modem experiences

I recently got a CDMA wireless USB modem from Anydata. There are some

On the Jabber network, GAIM will do multiple chat.  Basically, you set
up a conversation room (with a password if you want) and then either
invite people or let them enter themselves.  I don't know about the
MSN network though.  Perhaps you could convince the others to use GAIM
on Windows and the Jabber network?

Problems with make-kpkg and skas patch

[Todd A. Jacobs]

I'm trying to build a custom kernel based on 2.6.17 with the skas3
patch. I'm running the following command:

PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES KPATCH_skas=2.6.17 make-kpkg \
--rootcmd fakeroot --config xconfig --initrd  \
--bzimage --revision=custom.1.skas\
--added-patches=skas binary-arch

but am getting an error saying:

Requested kernel version `2.6.17' not found for patch skas
Patch /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply/skas  failed.

What's going on? I've got linux-source-2.6.17 ready to go, and
kernel-patch-skas 3-9.3 installed. It should "just work," right? Or am I
doing something wrong?

That makes some degree of sense -- however, for one thing the mounted
iso image cannot be used directly as a file:// source as far as I can
tell (the Packages file is not in the expected place, etc -- please
correct me if I'm wrong about this!).

To use this DVD as a file source I think I'm going to have to copy all
the .debs out into a directory and generate my own Packages list as
described in the Apt howto (using a bunch of debs as a file source
etc).

Another thing is what happens if I have multiple CD drives? Does a deb
cdrom source always have to use the /cdrom/ pointer as the cd drive?
This does seem like a limitation as /cdrom/ might point to a cdrom
drive whereas in this case I'm using a DVD which would need to go in
the other drive (I know I can just adjust the symlink but still..).

Anyways, any further comments on this would be appreciated -- I'm
prolly just gonna copy off all the .debs and throw away the .iso
images. It does seem a shame that I can't use them though as jigdo
seems like a pretty handy mechanism to keep a current set of .isos on
my hard drive.

Hi Rodolfo,
I have had some success with using Wine to run some Win32 programs: 
Internet Explorer, Firefox with flash 8, photoshop,... Thus I get the
ability to run an win32 program, dont need to buy M$ Os and dont need to
install it. Maybe try ICQ with WINE.

Hi Folks,

I know I must be doing something very silly, but my brand new 
installation
is only finding 1gig of the 4gig of ram installed in my brand new 
server.


Even if I stick a "mem=4096m" line as a boot option, it's still not
showing up.  (the only suggestion I've seen in the reference 
materials).


Any suggestions?
  

Which kernel do you use ?
I saw the same thing with a default i386 kernel.
When I switched to an i686-smp one (Xeon HT), I saw the light... Hum, 
the RAM !



I'm using the out-of-the-box i386 2.6 kernel that comes with the Sarge 
installer.

So I guess I have to build a kernel?  Sigh...

Thanks,

Miles


  

you can just apt-get a new kernel
apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6 will show you the list of  available 
kernels, just pick the one that is right for your system


ok - thanks to all who responded - looks like I'm currently running 
2.6.8-2-386

CONFIG_EDD=m
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set

which explains a lot

looks like
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686, or
kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686
would be appropriate (I'm running a P4, single processor)
any particular reason to go with one or the other?

and, a few newbie questions:
- any idea why the installer only gives the -386 kernel as a choice?
- the 2.6 kernel off the Sarge installer comes with SATA, md, and LVM 
support - will the -686 version as well?
- what's the specific procedure for replacing my current kernel and 
initrd with the new one - is it just an apt-get install, or is it more 
complicated?


Thanks again,

Miles

If all you need is watch at the messages at boot-time, then you could
press the "Scroll Lock" key, which will "pause" the boot process and
give you some time to read, then you can scroll with Shift+PageUp or
Shift+PageDown. When you're done you press "Scroll Lock" again and the
process goes on.

Gimp 2.2.6 and libpangocairo

[DJ Hackenbruch]

Well, I tried a re-install of both (via apt-get) and looking in the /usr/lib directory 
there is no such file named "libpangocairo" real or symb link either. Do I have 
to make them? Link them to what?

You could try to (re)install libpango1.0-0 and/or libpango1.0-dev.

That should give you the following files and symlinks:

libpango1.0-0: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1201.2
libpango1.0-0: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.la
libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.a
libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so

Note: I am using Sid; you will probably have a different version suffix
for the first file (not "1201.2").

Recommend an email program for the debian-user-digest?

Can anyone recommend an email program that works well when dealing with 
messages on the debian-user-digest list? I don't quite understand how 
the emails are put together. The email in the inbox contains attachments 
that are emails. Those email attachements I can open, but then those 
emails also contain more attached emails and those I can't open. I can't 
seem to hit the reply button to any of it.

This is not an answer to your querry, hopefully somebody else will help.

 Would you be interested in browsing through the list as a newsgroup? I 
use thunderbird and see the mailing list as a newsgroup hosted by 
gmane.org (They host plenty of mailing lists as newsgroups). I have my 
gmail email as the email address for this mailing list. In Gmail, I 
filter these mails and send them to Trash. I personally find browsing 
newsgroups (with their threaded options) much more convenient than 
reading emails. The only client I have seen that threads emails is mutt.

kmail handles digests pretty well if you don't split them using procmail using

Hmm. I seem to be having what may be a related problem: Originally
(around November last year) I had downloaded the first dvd of Debian
Etch from snapshots, via jigdo. I used it initially as a source 'cd
rom' image. 

Recently, I decided to re-jigdo the disk, from fresher snapshot
sources, and used apt-cdrom to add this new DVD as a source image. This
part went well. However, I wanted also to redo my apt-file database and
can't get past the part where apt-file asks for the DVD image, and
promptly spits out that it can't find the Packages.gz file.

kmail, thunderbird also have threading options. Infact kmail has something 
called "mailing list management" which detects mailing lists automatically. 
Couple of advantages of this "mailing list management" are that one does not 
need to remember the instructions to subscribe/unsubscribe to the mailing 
lists, figure out how to send the replies (ie to the list/sender etc.,). 
There are infact many more bells and whistles of course...

Installing things

[Shane]

I can't figure this out.  Probably cause I'm new at it.

I installed both Real Player and MPlayer for Debian.  I downloaded the rpm package and then used alien to 1. convert to .deb and install, and when that didn't seem to work I used alien -i.

Problem is I can't find an executable for either of them.  Not in the bin or sbin directories anywhere.  The KDE desktop can't find them either.

One other interesting thing, dselect shows them installed.

Where might they be?

bind keyboard POWER button to start some program

BUTTON and the script /etc/init.d/poweroff is being started.
