This helps greatly; thanks. I think the culprit is "window_list_applet". I have a little progress to report: In the upper panel of the Gnome desktop, the menu selections: Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor brings up the configuration editor window. In that window, following the tree: apps -> panel -> global opens a pane in which the next-to-last item is "tooltips_enabled" with a check-box. Unchecking the box disables the tooltips for the top, side, and bottom panels -- with one exception. In the bottom panel, there is a window list, and tooltips continue to be displayed when the mouse moves over the buttons of the window list. The window list is displayed by the "window_list_applet". It appears to me that the remaining tooltips are being displayed by the window list applet. Regrettably, the tooltips displayed by the window list applet are the most obnoxious of all, for they hide the minibuffer of XEmacs, as well as the bottom line of X-terminal -- the active line being used for input. The window list applet may be added to the panel in the same manner other applets are added to the panels: right-click on the panel to bring up a menu and select "Add to panel". However, unlike other applets which, when right-clicked, display a menu which includes "remove from panel", the window list applet has no obvious means of removal. While some aspects of the window list applet can be customized by the Configuration Editor, display of the tooltip is not one of them. This oversight needs to be submitted as a bug of at least moderate severity. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X resolution: dpk-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 does nothing
For some reason debian installed X with a really low resolution so I'm trying to increase my screen resolution from 800x600 to something like 1024x768.

SunBlade150 (Sparc64) random system freeze
Hi, I am running Debian Testing on SunBlade150 with kernel 2.6.16. It used to run kernel 2.6.8 before the upgrade. Irrespective of the kernel version, I am facing system freezing randomly with no traces in any of the logs. Many times system keeps running for 40 days and many times it will just hang after booting up. I could reproduce the similar issues on two more excatly same machines. They were used to hang even during net-install itself when APT was installing packages. It has been more than 1 year I am facing the problem without any solutions. Earlier I was using KDE, but since when I have switched to IceWM, the frequency of freeze is reduced but it is still there. regards, Nishant Here are my lspci and dmesg outputs: = sunny:~# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.

I adviced my girlfriend to buy a used thinkpad. It's not a current model, but was good value for money. She's never had anything to complain about. You should look at thinkwiki.org for that excellent documentation on thinkpads. I guess that almost any laptop that's not a thinkpad will have less documentation and more risk of what is supported and what not.

With the currently available tools I think you're right, yes. There's always the option of writing a few dedicated tools that suit your situation. Something that'd let you take the list of already installed packages, stick it onto an XP box, running the tool would end up with downloaded packages that you then can copy onto a portable memory and bring over to the other machine. I doubt there's a lot of interest for such a set of tools though, but I may of course be wrong :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.

To them, the GUI is the only way to accomplish anything. I understand what you say about the windows command-line having come a long way, but there is a very established culture of GUI-only admins out there. I would wager that many of them are so busy putting out fires and dealing with other issues that they feel they are too busy to learn the new way. OTOH, even though *nix admins are likely just as busy, I don't think that you can reasonably get a job as *nix admin anywhere with halfway competent hiring people without at least demonstrating some level of proficiency with a couple of scripting languages.

I expect I will be doing some programming, some word-processing, a little image manipulation, possibly a small amount of sound file manipulation. I might also move my website maintenance from the desktop to the laptop. I am not a gamer! This is probably not going to be a "heavy load" machine, but I want something that will work well for me and not give me any headaches. I have enough of those, already. These are what I am currently looking at: Toshiba Satellite ($299.99 US) Intel Celeron M 420 512 MB DDR2 RAM 80 GB HD CD-RW/DVD 802.11 a/b/g Where do you get these prices?

I don't know if this is Off Topic, but sounds relevant to me. I am using the following version of JFS utils, if that makes any difference: jfsutils/testing uptodate 1.1.11-1 I have formatted a partition with JFS on my hard-disk. Everything works fine whenever this partition is mounted. The only real pain in the ass is this JFS partition refuses to mount!! Then I have to run something like jfs_fsck, which reports that the partition is CLEAN. Then I run jfs_fsck -a (for automatic repair) ..by instinct ;-) and bingo! the partition can be mounted with absolutely no grudges now! Now my question is, why does this partition simply doesn't mount? It gives me an error saying bad fs type etc. But then, I mount using the following command: mount -t jfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/stuff And why do I have to run jfs_fsck -a everytime I need to mount this partition? Is it some problem with JFS itself? BTW I am running Debian Testing with the 2.6.17-2-686 Kernel. > > Again, ext2 root fs had no issues, but we weren't expecting any. ext2 > rootfs was used just as a control (and to boot). /var was moved to the > second drive (where slocate's DB lives). > > End result is, its going to depend on how the file system manages to > allocate inodes ahead of itself , and at what point in time your system > runs out of clean pages to grab.

The other laptop was NOT a Thinkpad. It was a Transtec laptop (I don't recall the model, by now at least all important things work). > Don't the developers know? Do > they even care? or are they just elitists? Which developers? The salespeople of the other brand should know how to configure linux, but they charge an extra fee for it and don't post that kind of information. The effort is mainly to find out what hardware and how it is supported. I didn't want to give the impression that it is any more difficult to install debian vs suse. I'm quite sure it involves the same kind of effort. As far as the debian developers are concerned: They care! My message is simple: search for information on your particular laptop *before* you buy it. Usually stuff published by linux users will stay there for a while and it will make things more easy for you. If there is no/little information already available, be prepared to invest an unpredictable amount of effort. Be prepared that many things won't work out of the box.

Re: Re: No more than 255 device files with Debian Sarge
Hello Kevin, I did diff my Debian kernel configuration with the one from Ubuntu. Lots of differences but nothing really in the filesystem area 8-( I found two differences worth checking: Ubuntu has no DEVFS support compiled/activated. And there was a raw files parameter set to 255. Neither throwing out DEVFS nor increasing the raw file number to 8192 did help... Problem is that the driver concept of one of our projects depends on the ability to generate more than 255 minor numbers. Sigh... Thanks anyhow for your reply!

Help: Developing Free Debian Trainings
Hello! I'd like to announce a new project in order to gain world domination for Debian. It's my little pet project and I call it "The Tipii Project" [1]. The short term goal of the Tipii Project is to train people in the use of Debian GNU/Linux. The long term goal is to create a set of trainings that will eventually lead to Debian Certification, ala Red Hat Certified. Since no company is giving Debian trainings that _I_ know of, I figure I might just as well do it myself. And have fun doing it! Under the name of "The Tipii Project", me and a couple of friends have just started to develop a set of Debian trainings. This is the earliest of beginnings, but it is a beginning. The idea is to learn by teaching others. By giving a training about any given subject, you will learn more about that subject than you did. You will also learn more about yourself as a bonus. How do we intend to do this? Well: - Learn how to give technical trainings - Teach others to give trainings - Develop trainings - Develop workshops - Host trainings - Host workshops - Bring Developers and EndUsers closer together - Learn from other experts about any given subject - Have fun There's probably a lot more to do, but this is where we're at right now. The Current Rules: * All materials must be compatible with Debian standards (DFSG) * In order to enroll into a training, you must have read certain materials or have certain skill (Assessment). * All materials will be developed in the open using open tools and protocols. And so, on the 17th of December 2006, I will be hosting the first Unofficial Debian Training in Utrecht, the Netherlands! I would love to hear what ideas and possibilities this list sees for the Tipii-Project and it's goals. One concrete problem I'm having right now is: How do I enable open-development of a project such as this? I've set up a subversion repository and a Trac-wiki, but am afraid to open up the wiki for the world. Dito with the subversion repo. Does anyone have an idea what I'm talking about and how to set this up?

I've installed Debian Sarge on two Dell Poweredge 4400 servers at work - dual Xeon processors, and lots of SCSI-connected hot-swap disks. Sarge works like a champ on these boxes - there's even a custom SMP kernel available for use, so no kernel compilation necessary. The boxes have been stable for months now. FWIW, I also tried installing Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog on the same boxes, and it didn't work - there was some awful kernel problem which meant that although installation seemed to be successful they died a few minutes after boot, every time. I could never get to the bottom of it, but it seemed to have something to do with interrupts getting missed, leading to disks going missing, and the keyboard ending up unresponsive. I don't know what hardware your 1420 has in it, but I'd say just try. Good luck, Nick Boyce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Mine is about the most quiet laptop of anyone I know. I still haven't figured out, however, why the hard drive (on heavy duty) is even quieter on linux as on that other OS that IBM had installed for me.

dpkg and apt-get under problems on Debian
hello! Trying to install any program, there comes out a message, Code 100, sometime Code [1], sometimes Code [10] and in all cases states the information that phpgroupware must be removed. My questions is: Where can I find instructions to clean the installer or unstall etc. I have already tried dpkg upgrade, dpkg upgrade, apt-get upgrade, apt-get update and so on, without success.

Re: Help: Developing Free Debian Trainings
Hugo Vanwoerkom wrote: Maarten Verwijs wrote: Hello! I'd like to announce a new project in order to gain world domination for Debian. It's my little pet project and I call it "The Tipii Project" [1]. The short term goal of the Tipii Project is to train people in the use of Debian GNU/Linux. The long term goal is to create a set of trainings that will eventually lead to Debian Certification, ala Red Hat Certified. Since no company is giving Debian trainings that _I_ know of, I figure I might just as well do it myself. And have fun doing it! Under the name of "The Tipii Project", me and a couple of friends have just started to develop a set of Debian trainings. This is the earliest of beginnings, but it is a beginning. The idea is to learn by teaching others. By giving a training about any given subject, you will learn more about that subject than you did. You will also learn more about yourself as a bonus. How do we intend to do this? Well: - Learn how to give technical trainings - Teach others to give trainings - Develop trainings - Develop workshops - Host trainings - Host workshops - Bring Developers and EndUsers closer together - Learn from other experts about any given subject - Have fun There's probably a lot more to do, but this is where we're at right now. The Current Rules: * All materials must be compatible with Debian standards (DFSG) * In order to enroll into a training, you must have read certain materials or have certain skill (Assessment). * All materials will be developed in the open using open tools and protocols. And so, on the 17th of December 2006, I will be hosting the first Unofficial Debian Training in Utrecht, the Netherlands! I would love to hear what ideas and possibilities this list sees for the Tipii-Project and it's goals. One concrete problem I'm having right now is: How do I enable open-development of a project such as this? I've set up a subversion repository and a Trac-wiki, but am afraid to open up the wiki for the world. Dito with the subversion repo. Does anyone have an idea what I'm talking about and how to set this up?

Can you switch back to a tty after X hangs? (CTRL + ALT + F1 etc.) If
so, run
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and post the output here.
awk '/Section "(Module|Device|ServerFlags|Extensions)"/,/EndSection/'
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
would also be interesting.

Unfortunately I can't remember the details now. At that time > I just removed Texlive and went back to Tetex - and everything > worked as usual. I made a fresh install of Etch "testing" on a spare machine, then I installed texlive instead of tetex. I copied over to the spare machine a complex document of the "article" class which uses hyperlatex, and I executed "latex". The document was processed properly. I then executed latex on the same document after adding commands to create section-level tables of contents, using "minitoc.sty". After executing latex four times, no section-level tables of contents appeared. texlive uses minitoc.sty version 43. On my normal machine, which runs Etch "testing" and has tetex installed and uses minitoc.sty version 40, the section-level tables of content are generated, but some of the page numbers are off by one or two; it appears that the section-level tables are not being updated from the main table of contents (in which the page numbering is correct). But these problems likely have been corrected since version 40; and the release of version 50 of minitoc.sty is imminent. So now my task is to figure out how to install version 49 or 50 of minitoc.sty in texlive. % Regarding texlive vs. tetex: It appears that tetex is to be abandoned for want of an upstream maintainer, and that Debian is migrating to texlive. I found much good information on www.tug.org and www.tex.ac.uk. In particular, I found "Debian-specific information about TeX packages", which is dated 2006-11-03.

Wireless adapter
I'm curious how I would connect a Linksys 802.11b WUS B11 wireless USB adapter to a destop using Debian Sarge. If anyone has any information, or if I need to give more information, please let me know. Thanks. --Steve

In either case, I have not tested a chroot with a sarge kenel, but this issue is related to your system and not the current ones. It is either specific to the sarge kernel or some other issue of your system. I may try to try a chroot with a sarge kerel to see if I can reproduce it.
