Oracle Express Edition licensing (WAS: Re: Driver ODBC for Oracle)

Hello,

I'm looking for a *free* ODBC driver for Oracle.
I googled and found some drivers (ie. Easysoft) but unfortunately they are

Thanks for any clue.
Note: I'm using Oracle Express Edition v10g which is kindly offered by Oracle.

I had not previously installed Oracle due to their licensing which 
basically said that you could develop a prototype, but then could not 
even use it for internal processing.  The license for the Express 
Edition seems to avoid this problem:

4. Express Edition may use up to 1 GB RAM of available memory.

I have no problems with only using a single instance on my box and I do 
not have multiple CPUs in the box, so that takes care of numbers 1 and 
2, above.  I will not have more than 4GB of data, so that takes care of 
number 3.  I do have more than 1GB of RAM in my system (although never 
that much free).  Doe the Express Edition limit itself to 1 GB, or do I 
need to do something to limit it, or how do I assure compliance with 
number 4?

The problem is that entering \\server\share in mozilla makes it search
for an http server.
IE automatically searches for windows shares with the same address.

You need to enter smb://server to specify to the browser what protocol
to use.

If you are using Gnome or KDE, use their file browsers and enter the
above in the adress bar.
If not using nautilus or konqueror, you'll have to install
'firefox-gnome-support' (do an 'apt-get install firefox-gnome-support')
to be able to browse samba shares from firefox.


hope that helps,

Hi Rocky,

If Gnome, - gnome-cups-manager. If KDE, start 'control center'

Well I managed to get the CD working, and I started from scratch and got
exactly the same answer.  It looks to me as though a question that is of
too low a priority has no default value and that is causing the problem.
But I have no idea how to find out which question is failing. 

So I am going to go back to testing, and then try to upgrade from that.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/apt-build.diff?bug=332594;msg=17;att=1

I don't know why the patch hasn't been released in an updated apt-build

hopefully it will be soon.  In the meantime, this might help someone.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm using KDE. There are 2 options for network printer. One is network
printer(TCP). Another is newwork printer w/Ipp(IPP/HTTP)

In both options I entered smb://server/ppp(my windows XP working
printer name) as printer address and In the subnetwork field I input
192.168.1. after that I hit scan but it tells me:
"you are about to scan a subnet(192.168.1.*)that does not correspond
to current subnet of this computer (127.0.0.*) .Do you want to scan
the specified subnet anyway?"

It seems that my debian network configuration is wrong? Can any of you
help me on this please?

Re: kernel mess

[Wackojacko]

 > Gee... I need to understand this conceptually. Otherwise I won't even be

able to follow people's advice.


Re-reading the last few posts I realised I may be confused as to what 
you are actually running, sorry :).  Are you trying to install on a 32 
bit O/S running a -k8 kernel, or a full amd64 install?


I think the important thing to remember is to make sure you match the 
packages with the O/S.  This should all be taken care of by apt-get anyway.



Does 2.6.8-2-k7 use my cpu's x86_64 instruction set for anything at all?


No, AFAICT its treated as a normal Athlon.


Sempron64 equals AMD64? What optimization shall I stick to?



The -k8 kernels should work on 32 bit debian, as I said earlier I 
compile my own kernel with 64 bit optimisations on 32 bit sid, but I 
doubt this would make any difference.


You do have the kernel headers for the -k8 kernels installed I trust. 
Although m-a prepare should take care of this.


TBH I am at a loss as to where to go next, sorry :)

There are hardware detection packages like discover, hotplug (sarge

/etc/modules.conf tells the kernel what modules perform what features. 
When a kernel feature is requested by a program, the kernel looks into 
/etc/modules.conf to see if there is a module that supports that 
feature. If so, it's loaded.


Install the kernel sources, then read 
/Documentation/kmod.txt. Also read "man modprobe.conf"

matlab installation problems

[roberto]

My problem with matlab installation is the following:

1. i try to install matlab7 r14
2. i follow all the steps indicated in the instal guide:
mkdir /usr/local/matlab7 (=$MATLAB)
cd matlab7

3. then i run the installer:
/media/cdrom0/install* &

4. i choose as installation directory $MATLAB
5. i choose as symbolic links directory: /usr/local/bin
6. the installation proceeds well until the end
7. i try to start the license manager daemon:
$MATLAB/etc/scripts/lmstart

$MATLAB/etc/scripts/lmstart: line 686:
/usr/local/matlab7/etc/scripts/util/setlmenv.sh: No such file or
directory

the problem here is with that "/util" dir which does not exist...

also similar problems arise if i try to start matlab:
/usr/local/matlab7/bin/scripts/matlab

/usr/local/matlab7/bin/scripts/matlab: line 796:
/usr/local/matlab7/bin/bin/util/arch.sh: No such file or directory

here the problem is with that extra "/bin" directory...

do you have any idea with this problem?

Sound not configured correctly after recent kernel upgrade

[Maurits van Rees]

Hi,

I run Debian sarge.  Since I installed the recent security upgrade for
the 2.6.8 kernel I have problems getting sound out of my machine.  I
reinstalled the previous version of that kernel package again, but
this did not have the desired effect, so maybe it is not related.  (I
then reinstalled the latest package again.)

When I run a program like ogg123 to play an ogg file it gives an error:

Error: Cannot open device oss.

AFAIK I am using alsa as a wrapper around oss.  Audio is not a part
of my system that I deeply understand. ;) Also the /dev/dsp device
file is not found, which used to be there.

I was starting to wonder if I had a hardware failure, but then I
noticed that mplayer did produce sound.  So some programs are working
and some not.  Flash in Firefox also doesn't give a sound.

I found out that I can now actually play an ogg file if I start ogg123
with the option '-d alsa09'.  But that's not very handy of course. :)


So I'm not quite sure what caused this to change.  I didn't see any
package upgrades in my aptitude log that could be related.  I tried
dpkg-reconfiguring some alsa packages, but that didn't help.

Any ideas about getting this back into a more usable state?

Try to modprobe snd_seq_oss, snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss and check if
that makes any difference. If it does then you can add the relevant
module(s) to /etc/modules.

How will you read the mail?

You need a seperate piece of software to fetch the mail from
gmail via the POP3 protocol. Fetchmail or, ideally,
retchmail.

You need to configure exim4 so that

* you have a smarthost to send mail via (your ISP perhaps)
* you can do per-user address rewriting

The latter might be supported without any exim4 config,
either by adding yourself to /etc/email-addresses, or
configuring your MUA (such as mutt) to add an explicit From:
header. The latter is probably best.

The fuse-utils package in sarge suffers from
 (/dev/fuse is user root
group root) . You might be able to configure the modutils
files to specify the group, I'm not sure.

Ah, that does the trick.  Well, I still can't hear anything, but
that's because I am logged in via ssh.  But maybe my neighbours can
hear something. :)  At least ogg123 does not display the error
anymore.

First, some software already uses kernel-passed command line to disable

debian-installer.

Second, I will probably file a bug against nut, however it is really
difficult to discriminate between UPS not installed *intentionnally* and
not, that's why there is a problem there.

Greetings Erik:

While we do some pretty ugly DHCP hacks here, relaying isn't one of
them, so I can't try it out for you.  We are using the 3.0 version of
the ISC DHCPD server, and it does mention being able to support relay
agent information in the form of option agent.circuit-id and
agent.remote-id.

The only other thing that you might try is running tcpdump on the dhcp
server and looking at the packets.  That would verify that the router is
attaching the option 82 information properly, and you could verify that
the circuit-id being sent by the router is what you expect it to be.

Good luck.

mod_headers in apache 1.3

[saravanan ganapathy]

Hi,

I am using apache 1.3.33 on debian3.1 and I want to
hide 'server string' in headers. I already configured
'ServerTokens Prod'. 

Now it shows server string as 'Apache' and I need to
change this. So I configured the following in my
httpd.conf and this is not working

LoadModule headers_module
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_headers.so

Header set Server "nothing"

The same above config is working in apache2.x.

Whats the problem in apache1.x?

do you have /dev on the root partition?
to my expicience xfs_freeze -f halts all write operations on the
partition and lvcreate wants to write to the device and create one,
apart from the log/backup of the lvm metadata...

'TCP/IP' is installed and enabled. By default.

SATA and SoundBlaster clash ???

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

I'm currently working on a bug where ac3 stream on the spdif output of
my SB Live is corrupted while I'm performing SATA I/O (See [1] and [2]
for the whole story)

I'm wondering if other people have similar problem.

My setup is:
- a7n8x deluxe board 
- SB Live digital 5.1 (snd_emu10k1 driver)
- SATA disk (sata_sil on the mobo)
- Debian sid with 2.6.27 kernel

If I try to play a movie with an ac3 stream (from the SB live spdif)
on my external amplifier (Yamaha DSP A1) while performing I/O on the
SATA drive (like md5sum *.avi), I get a lot of ac3 drop-out (the ac3
light on my amp blinks on and off).

Likewise, PCM output shows severe high frequencys distorsions (above 5
kHz).

I'm working with ALSA and lklm people to solve the problem. ([1] and [2])

Meanwhile I'm wondering if other people can reproduce the problem ?

Thanks

Follow my HOWTO:

If you already understand the Debian repository layout and why it is
structured the way it is, then there are other howtos out there.
However, if you are new to such things, my howto explains in a fair
amount of detail the rationale behind much of it.

Cakewalk is (as far as I remember - it's been years) a music
notation/midi sequencer program.  The closes thing that I know of is
Rosegarden and Noteedit - I haven't used either so I can't tell you if
it's any good.

You might also look into Studio64 - it's a Debian based distro that's
got all the sound stuff already setup and integrated.

Hi,

Please respond back to the list and not to me directly :)


What fails? You're not trying to apply the patch to the binary package
are you? You need to get the source code for mkisofs, apply the patch
and rebuild the package.

Alternatively you can try to downgrade mkisofs to an earlier version
that still has the mkzftree binary.

I ran right into this when I did not specify /usr/bin/time.

chronometer function that works just like one: you click and it shows

I wrote a command to do that and keep the elapsed time in a environment 
variable, but "setenv("CHRONO", msecs.data(), 1));" does not set the 
variable "$CHRONO", so I have to rethink.

Xorg packages vs Nvidia's driver? (RESEND)

[David Baron]

>Which packages might be removed or pinned so that upgrades will not 
>necessitate 
>reinstallation of Nvidia's (their installer) driver? libGLcore.so (symlink)? 
>etc.

This problem persists in Sid. Almost anything Xorg or OpenGL that gets updated 
necessitates reinstalling the Nvidia stuff, both kernel module and other 
stuff. No so bad a trip but 

Seems to me that the Nvidia stuff should not go to /usr or /usr/lib 
or /usr/X11R6 .../modules where Xorg stuff normally goes. Should have its own 
directories and these specified in xorg.conf. Actually, their installer 
tries, cites a "modular" Xorg installation and requests an "sdk". Failing 
that, it places things in the "standard" directories.

The installer has an --x-prefix option which they recommend only under "rare 
circumstances". There are --x-module-path (defaults to ...xorg/modules now)  
and --x-library-path (defaults to --x-prefix/lib) as well

Anyone use these to straighten this out? Which options?
The debian package of the Nvidia driver DRI did not work when I tried that? 
Where does this now place its items?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

That error means that the class format version isn't supported.  It's 
normally caused by compiling with java 1.5, and running with 1.4 or earlier 

If you need to build on 1.5 and run on earlier, pass -target  to 
sun's javac.

Looking at test_run_jump.sh, I think what's happening is that the your java 
alternative isn't pointing 
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/bin/java.  So either rebuild 
the source for java 1.4, or try

echo "Liftoff..."
$JAVA_HOME/java ...

Also consider changing JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/ 
which won't be so brittle.

On the old box it's fine; both run current testing. Is there anything else I

Do you have more than one secret key?  Maybe you need do configure kgpg

(from the review at www.freesoftwaremagazine.com, mentioned on
distrowatch):

   "So the goal of 64 Studio Ltd. is to create a native x86_64
   distribution with a selected set of creative tools and as much
   integration between them as possible."

... Specifically for 64 bit systems.  I'll have to look into that
(dunno what he's running yet; still pretty preliminary stages here).

If you are running GNOME, "Preferred Applications" in Preferences. If
you don't run a complete GNOME environment, you can change the gconf
key /desktop/gnome/applications/browser 

Also, I think the default browser is set to x-www-browser so you should
be able to change that using the debian alternatives system.

initrd

[Skylar Thompson]

I'm working on a project that requires preseeding the Debian installer.  In
my build process, I mount the ISO image over loopback, and then copy
everything to scratch space on a hard drive. I then extract the cpio initrd
for the 2.6 kernel to another directory, copy in my initrd from an
overlay directory,
and then put the initrd back on the server:

pushd $TMPINITRD
gzip -d -c $TMPISO/install/2.6/initrd.gz|cpio -i
cp -R $SVNROOT/debian-install-iso/initrd-overlay/* $TMPINITRD
find .|cpio -ocB|gzip -c > $INITRD26
popd

When I boot the CD, it finds the initrd, but then promply kernel panics,
saying that it is unable to mount root. Is this the accepted way to
generate initrds without mkinitrd? I'd rather not have a system running the
same kernel version as the project is going to be, although I could do
this in a VM if I had to.

Okay, if ~/Maildir is proper, I'll change it to ~/.Maildir; I like to
keep it out of sight too.

If you are running GNOME, "Preferred Applications" in Preferences. If

Hmmm, it always worked for me.  But then, I never used Maildir
directly from Evo, but use IMAP.  Courier-IMAP, in turn, "talks
Maildir".

It depends how you open the link. If you use some gnome-terminal
feature after selecting the link, see Sven Arvidsson's answer.
If you use urlview, edit your .urlview file, by adding, e.g.

COMMAND dillo %s

(assuming that dillo takes the URL as argument).

If murphy is sending spamtraps, it deserves to be listed. period.

If it is not spamcop, there are tons of other DNSBLs which will happily list 
it in the due course. Since spamcop is very very aggressive, you are seeing 
the effect first in spamcop and not in other DNSBLs.

Why not just whitelist murphy by yourself?

Um, murphy sends confirmation email to any address registered through
the web interface.  Even if you changed this to email-to-subscribe
without a web option, addresses can be spoofed.  This isn't about spam
coming from murphy, it's about a denial of service attack against it.

I suppose another option is to have the confirmations handled by a
different host, though this still allows an attacker to DoS the
confirmation server through spamcop, so that people using spamcop can
no longer subscribe nor unsubscribe.

xfce4 and automount usb stick icons on desktop

[H.S.]

Hello,

I was wondering if automounting of USB sticks works in xfce4 in Debian 
Etch. I tried it yesterday and couldn't figure out how to do this. 
Automounting of a CD works when inserted in the drive though.


A little google search hinted that xffm file manager may be needed for 
usb automounting but the package appears not be present in Etch.


Any idea how to get this working in xfce4? The installation is fully 
updates, has hal, udev, and kernel 2.6.17.


thanks,
->HS

Help building iptables from source

[Hernan Freschi]

Hello folks, I'm having a little trouble here.

I'm trying to patch iptables to support layer7
(l7-filter.sourceforge.net). I have the kernel already patched, now I'm
trying to patch IPTABLES

So what I did was:

apt-get source iptables
apt-get build-dep iptables

then I go into /usr/src/iptables-version/iptables and

patch -p1 < layer7.patch
chmod +x ./extensions/.layer7-test

After that i tried a lot of things:

debian/rules binary
dpkg-buildpackage
pbuilder

None of them works. The module doesn't even compile. So i edited
extensions/Makefile, and added "layer7" at the end of the list. That
made it try to compile, but I got a dependency missing error. I checked
and the script didn't look for the kernel headers at /usr/src/linux,
but at its own /usr/src/iptables-version/debian/buld/kernel_profectio
(I had exported the KERNEL_DIR variable to the right location already).
I copied the layer7-something (don't remember the name right now) from
/usr/src/linux/include/// but that didn't work either. I edited the
Header file for the layer7 module. It finally found the header file but
I get this (debian/rules binary):

Making dependencies: please wait...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iptables-1.3.5.0debian1/debian/build/iptables_profectio'
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/iptables-1.3.5.0debian1/debian/build/iptables_profectio'
Something wrong... deleting dependencies.

Anyone knows what may be wrong?

According to http://lists.debian.org/stats/ the subscribe count for d-u is 
around 2900 which is way less compared to the forum subscribers. So the 
number for forum.debian.net is definitely not low. That said, I would like to 
rant why I prefer mailing lists over forums.

I was a mailing list user for a long time, then shifted to forums for some 
time and then came back to mailing lists quickly. Many reasons are stated 
before by other posters in this thread. Here are some other main drawbacks of 
forum IMHO.

a) quoting messages is really really tough in a forum interface.

Can't really stress how important this is for a meaningful discussion. Becomes 
essential if the discussions are somewhat lengthy.

b) moderators excersize too much control on the content.

While this does not happen that much in forums.debian.net it does happen in 
other forums that I am part of (ex:- forums.spamcop.net) and is really 
annoying. Moderators can literally move around topics, delete topics, merge 
posts with one another at will. This might be liked by some, but I hate it. I 
do not want someone else to impose their aesthetics on me. I like to be 
incharge of the contents and deal with it myself.

c) Cannot use vim to compose emails.

If I am using a mailing list interface, I can use kmail to read my emails, and 
vim to write replies. In forums I cannot do that. I am being restricted by 
their st**id editor.

d) read some emails now and read some other emails later.

I usually like to read all the new posts and help as much as I can. I read say 
100 emails at a time, go do some real work which pays me, then come back and 
read another 100 emails etc., In forum, it is tough to do this. There is a 
facility to do something like "view new posts since last visit" and that's 
it. The newness of the posts will be lost if I log out or close my browser or 
loose internet conneciton etc., In the end, I wont be able to read all the 
emails and that I don't like!

e) forums need X to be running

This is self explanatory...
What if your X is broke and you need support?
what if you "listen" to emails while driving to work instead of reading?

hope that clarifies why most of the expertise is on the mailing lists instead 
of on the forums. Sorry to discourage but I dont think forums will ever 
replace mailing lists ...

If you want to run Debian, install Debian from the get go. Knoppix->Debian or

Your best bet (in terms of time) is to reinstall Debian from the scratch.

I agree with Michael: tricking a server that responsibly sends out
confirmation messages into sending one to a spamtrap is about denial of
service.  I also agree with Kumaraju that sending mail to spamtraps
should get anyone listed.  If your server is not otherwise a spam
source, and the DoS continues, you should expect to get the server
whitelisted.  However, it is your responsibility, and not the DNSBL
maintainer, to make sure this happens.

It's a rather nasty form of DoS, as it uses an organization that tries
to fight network abuse to cause problems for the FLOSS community.  Worst
of all, the Debian listmasters have swallowed the bait.  That's why it
is important, whether people like SpamCop or not, to arrange to get
murphy whitelisted.  Complaining that SpamCop is cluelessly administered
won't convince many to stop using SpamCop, yet will convince some that
the Debian community has an attitude problem.  Either way, the people
perpetrating the DoS win, though it turns out differently if we
cooperate with SpamCop.

Why the apparent hatred against KDE if I may ask? Is your computer too slow to 
run KDE or is it something else? Desktop Environments are infact designed for 
this purpose : integration among common tasks and provide a consistent 
interface (be it KDE, GNOME ...).

made it try to compile, but I got a dependency missing error. I checked
and the script didn't look for the kernel headers at /usr/src/linux,
but at its own /usr/src/iptables-version/debian/buld/kernel_profectio
(I had exported the KERNEL_DIR variable to the right location already).
I copied the layer7-something (don't remember the name right now) from
/usr/src/linux/include/// but that didn't work either. I edited the
Header file for the layer7 module. It finally found the header file but
I get this (debian/rules binary):

Thanks for this.  A recent sid upgrade borked X and it would appear the
'nv' module had disappeared.  I resorted to a backup system on a
different partition but avoided updating for a while.  I spotted your
post and thought I'd try to recover the main system and whoopie!

I had to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg because I'd been playing around
trying to fix the problem orginally but other than that, I have the best

Thanks again.

Gxine segmentation fault at playback

[José Alburquerque]

Has anyone experienced segmentation faults with gxine?  I've been trying 
to run it since I installed testing a few months ago (I believe I had 
gxine 0.5.6 then).  I thought that an upgrade would fix my problem, but 
to this date updates have not made a difference.


Currently, I'm running sid and my gxine version is 0.5.7.  When I run it 
from a terminal, it starts up fine.  I have some media marks that I've 
added and when I click on any of them, gxine buffers fine, starts 
playing and shortly after disappears with a segmentation fault.  This is 
what the output looks like:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gxine
lirc: cannot initialise - disabling remote control
lirc: maybe lircd isn't running or you can't connect to the socket?
Segmentation fault

Anyone experience this?  Do you know a fix?  Would much appreciate it.  
Thanks.

This is entirely reasonable and responsible.  Spamcop even has its
own opt-in confirmation that works the same way.  All we need is a
listmaster with the time and inclination to communicate with the
Spamcop deputies.

I doubt it would help.  This is a minimal-effort, large-scale
annoyance issue for a person to actually do by hand.  The debian
mailing lists are a large audience.  Someone sufficiently motivated to
put murphy into a spam trap with a bogus subscription attempt probably
won't balk at a captcha.

viewcvs

[Tony Heal]

I have viewcvs v 1.11.1p1debian running on a woody

different revisions of a file in the system. However I have installed  0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-1.5
on a new sarge box for testing and it does not have the color.

 

The depends and suggests do not show anything that looks

If he is going to install sarge, make sure he installs the alsa-base (I
think) package, in order to use alsa. Alsa is much better suited

It's been working for me (etch, same kernel version).

I would check the following:
  - watch /var/log/messages (I think) to see if udev is actually
recognizing your usb stick when it's plugged in,
  - that 'hald' is running,
  - that 'gnome-volume-manager' is running, and
  - that the appropriate "auto-mount" boxes are checked in the
'gnome-volume-properties' program.

'hald' runs as the system-user 'hal' and should start when you boot.
'gnome-volume-manager' runs as the logged in user and should start with
your X session.  Under earlier versions of xfce4 I had to manually start
gnome-volume-manager when I logged in (autostart script).  With the current
version (4.3.90.2) it is started without my script.  I'm not sure what
mechanism is starting it now (session manager maybe?).

xffm shouldn't have anything to do with it (but it might be automagically
starting gnome-volume-manager if it isn't already running).

I did some more experimenting with Evolution, and found that if I make a
folder and then put the three folders in it (tmp, cur, new), that
Evolution will work with it.  I guess Evolution just isn't smart enough
to do that itself.

So it's all working now (I just have to make folders manually), except
for a weird ".#evolution" folder that Evolution creates, and trying to
get Evolution to put sent messages in a "Sent" folder in ~/.Maildir;
instead it keeps them in its own ~/.evolution.

Huh?  Configurig fetchmail was braindead easy.  Just copy the default

then follow the commented out examples in the file.

 Hmmm, it always worked for me.  But then, I never used Maildir
 directly from Evo, but use IMAP.  Courier-IMAP, in turn, "talks
 Maildir".

It figures that you will use maildirmake(1) or use an IMAP server.

Okay, thanks.  I think I've figured out how to get Evolution to work
without using imap, though.

cpu freq scaling stopped working

Installed Etch about two months ago and intially cpu freq daemon and

support for CPU frequency scaling."


Up to date Etch (as of posting) on AMD64 X 2 (4200?) with both 2.6.16 and  
2.6.17 kernels, same problem.


I remembered that a while ago I installed both powernowd and cpufreqd on  
top of what was a working cpufreq scaling.
dmesg did not give me anu clue as to a fault with powernowd, so I removed  
this one.

With cpufreqd it gave the message that loading had failed.

What is the default cpu frq scaling solution on an Etch install on this  
type of processor?


How can I get it back to working solution?

What about cpudyn?

Looking back it probably doesn't make sense to have more than one of these  
running. Which one would be the best for an AMD processor to use and are  
there any utility packages needed to configure the daemon or should it  
work automatically when loaded?


Lots of questions I know - Thank you.
Have learned a lot from this list over the past year already.

RE: matlab installation problems

[Micha Feigin]

Did you try to just run matlab? With matlab 6.5 I needed to run the license
server but with ,matlab 7 it doesn't seem to be needed at least with my
setup.

I don't have that directory in "scripts". The reason for its
non-existence could be that I'm not using LM.

I don't have a bin directory in the parent bin directory.
~$ ls /usr/local/matlab7/bin/
engopts.sh  glnx86  matopts.sh mcc mexopts.sh   scripts
f90opts.sh  ldd mbuild mex optsetup.sh  util
gccopts.sh  matlab  mbuildopts.sh  mexext  registry

Using IMAP is definitely useful, though, since it breaks the link
between data and presentation.  Examples:

(1) Back during the X.org 7.0 transition, my GUI broke for a couple
of days.  Since I use fetchmail/postfix/spamassasin/maildrop, and
use postfix as a smarthost, I was able, using links2, to configure
mutt to use IMAP and still have my email fetched and filtered and
sent without any reconfiguration.

(2) Occasionally, Evo would break or I'd get tired of it's bloat.
Temporarily moving to Sylpheed was trivial for the same reason as
with Mutt.

(3) When I decided to permanently move to Tbird, same ease as (1)
and (2).


(4) If I ever decide to implement webmail, it will be easy.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
