To get correct MATHML display, you can edit /etc/iceape/iceaperc, changing MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 to MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1. However, this only cures the *display* of MATHML. *Printing* MATHML still does not work correctly. Also, disabling Pango has side-effects. Some non-Latin scrips (like Devanagari) are not displayed (or printed) correctly when Pango is off. If printing MATHML is important for you, you can try to install the Fedora Core version.

Update on: How to wifi with ipw3945 on Dell Vostro ???
I still cannot wifi with my laptop but I can see that the laptop is
sending it's DHCP requests to the network, I can see the request being
answered by the server but somehow/somewhere the the response gets lost.
If I try to make a connection through the NetworkManager I see (using
tcpdump) the following traffic.
Questions about what I see:
- What are those "oiu Unknown" things I see?
-Are the lines with ethertype Unknown (which all seem to be from foreign
(== not mine) MAC addresses) from other AP's in the building?
- If so, could they interfere somehow with my dhcp requests?
- Why do I see IP6 things while my whole network is IP4?

I was out to Salt Lake City this past week and on the plane from SLC to Denver the Stewarde^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Flight Attendant announced that one of the Peace Prize winners (not Gore) was on the plane, but that he (she said he) didn't wish to be identified. From my position at the rear of the plane, it didn't matter much as he was probably in first class. The news just says the IPCC was the other winner, so he may be a member of that group. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @| a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Its better for me to just reinstall from a repository. Instead of cp, you may want to look at rsync. You can either go plain over the network to the rsync server on the other box, or rsync can use ssh as a tunnel so that everything on the network is encryted. The advantage of rsync is that it only sends the difference so is very fast for daily small changes. If you have a spare computer (OK, that will at least install/run Debian Etch), you can put some drives in it, set it up for raid1, and use it as a dedicated backup server. Turn it on to do backups then turn it off and (perhaps) disconnect it from everything to decrease the risk of environmental damage (e.g. power surge). Or, on the one box, set up raid1 pairs with one drive internal and the other external. To take a backup off-site, remove a drive from the array. If something bad happens, put that drive in a bare-metal box and boot it, then add a second drive to the array and you're back in business.

Today, when I tried it crashed with the following output : ~$ hugin Panorama obj created /usr/share/locale *** glibc detected *** hugin: double free or corruption (out): 0x09027f90 *** === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0xb6e36e15] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x90)[0xb6e3a8e0] /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_free+0x31)[0xb71494a1] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0[0xb7c18bfe] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.6.so.0(_ZN8wxButton10SetDefaultEv+0x74)[0xb7c18cf4] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN18wxButtonXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x299)[0xb7f04809] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x457)[0xb7f479c7] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16Handle_sizeritemEv+0xc4)[0xb7f29ff4] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x3e)[0xb7f2a53e] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x48a)[0xb7f479fa] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateChildrenEP8wxObjectb+0x11c)[0xb7f47d0c] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler12Handle_sizerEv+0x12d)[0xb7f2817d] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x6e)[0xb7f2a56e] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x457)[0xb7f479c7] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16Handle_sizeritemEv+0xc4)[0xb7f29ff4] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x3e)[0xb7f2a53e] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x48a)[0xb7f479fa] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateChildrenEP8wxObjectb+0x11c)[0xb7f47d0c] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler12Handle_sizerEv+0x12d)[0xb7f2817d] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxSizerXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x6e)[0xb7f2a56e] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x457)[0xb7f479c7] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateChildrenEP8wxObjectb+0x11c)[0xb7f47d0c] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN17wxFrameXmlHandler16DoCreateResourceEv+0x47f)[0xb7f107af] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN20wxXmlResourceHandler14CreateResourceEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_+0x1b1)[0xb7f45761] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource17CreateResFromNodeEP9wxXmlNodeP8wxObjectS3_P20wxXmlResourceHandler+0x457)[0xb7f479c7] /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0(_ZN13wxXmlResource9LoadFrameEP7wxFrameP8wxWindowRK8wxString+0x7d)[0xb7f48afd] hugin[0x8131219] hugin[0x8079a9f] hugin[0x806013a] hugin(_ZN12wxAppConsole10CallOnInitEv+0x11)[0x8063571] /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0(_Z7wxEntryRiPPw+0x40)[0xb79da430] /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0(_Z7wxEntryRiPPc+0x36)[0xb79da506] hugin(__gxx_personality_v0+0x3d0)[0x805e540] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0xb6de3050] hugin(__gxx_personality_v0+0x291)[0x805e401] === Memory map: 08048000-0889 r-xp 08:01 43812 /usr/bin/hugin 0889-08892000 rw-p 00848000 08:01 43812 /usr/bin/hugin 08892000-093de000 rw-p 08892000 00:00 0 [heap] b650-b6521000 rw-p b650 00:00 0 b6521000-b660 ---p b6521000 00:00 0 b66fc000-b670b000 r--p 08:01 103309 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf b670b000-b676b000 rw-s 00:08 884751 /SYSV (deleted) b676b000-b683d000 r-xp 08:01 103587 /usr/lib/libscim-1.0.so.8.2.3 b683d000-b684b000 rw-p 000d2000 08:01 103587 /usr/lib/libscim-1.0.so.8.2.3 b684b000-b68ab000 rw-s 00:08 851982 /SYSV (deleted) b68b3000-b68b6000 rw-s 00:08 1081360/SYSV (deleted) b68b6000-b68ba000 r-xp 08:01 80584 /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so b68ba000-b68bb000 rw-p 3000 08:01 80584 /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so b68bb000-b68cc000 r--p 08:01 103306 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf b68cc000-b68ce000 r-xp 08:01 52716 /usr/lib/pango/1

how can I see version changes using aptitude?
Hello to everybody! When I was using synaptic, I remember that it showed the version changes for every packet that was to be upgraded. Where exactly is this information hidden?

Do you want to see the current version number of the packages and the new version number? You can see that by using aptitude in interactive mode (invoke "aptitude" instead of "aptitude upgrade").

I am not sure if it is a good idea to let outdated packages pile up like that. If you create your own unique mix of new and old packages then you might create your own unique problems. At the very least I would make sure that all the "required" and "important" packages are up to date before installing new software.

ALSA problems after kernel update
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding ALSA and the kernel. I recently updated my Debian system's kernel from 2.6.18.4 to 2.6.22.2. When I began using my new kernel, I noticed that anything that worked with ALSA locked up (mplayer, gnome sound, etc). I used module-assistant to build new alsa modules (from alsa-source) for my new kernel, and after the new package was installed, sound began working again. However, after rebooting, I had the same problem I did before: everything that used alsa had problems. If I ran "/etc/init.d/alsa reload" (or force-reload), then sound worked again. I think the system might be trying to load the old modules at startup. Is there a way to fix this? Regards, Sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I use the parameters "-v" (verbose) and "-V" (show versions) when using aptitude in comand-line mode. In the manpage of aptitude you can find the following: -V, --show-versions Show which versions of packages will be installed. This corresponds to the configuration option Aptitude::CmdLine::Show- Versions. -v, --verbose Causes some commands (for instance, show) to display extra information. This may be supplied multiple times to get more and more information. This corresponds to the configuration option Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose.

Before you throw out the baby with the bath water, did you try the workaround given for bug #443004? From reading the bug report I get the impression that using echo "xserver-xorg shared/default-x-server select xserver-xorg" | debconf-set-selections should allow you to run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" successfully afterwards. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The "echo ... | debconf-set-selections" command is not given in the bugreport, but it does the same thing as the manual editing of the debconf database that was suggested. I figured it might be easier to run this one-liner than to edit the file directly. If you want you can send me your xorg.conf and I will tell you if it looks normal.

offline news reader
Hi I normally use knode for reading debian mailing lists via gmane. However there is one feature missing in this - reading the news offline. Normally this is not a problem. However recently my net speed has reduced to couple of kB and it is difficult to wait for 5 seconds for each message to load. So is there any way to overcome this problem in knode? If not, is there any news reader which offers offline functionality and works well with KDE? I don't have particular preference for graphical or commandline. It is fine if it consumes quite a bit of memory. I am looking for something which has lots of features and at the same time gives finer control over them. Any ideas? thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The plugins allow you to export in various ways. You can export to cd, create a slidewhow, export to flickr, export to html for buiding web pages etc. I was the "official" photographer for my kids field trips and burned a cd for the teacher as well as posting the photos on a web site.

IOW, if you have lots of tasks running independently of each other and/or you have tasks running code that can take advantage of parallel processing, then those things that fit that criterion will run in parallel. And those tasks will then complete faster because they have more cpu time than they would get in a system with fewer cpus. At least that's how it seems to me.

Proxy settings not released
Hello: I had set up a web proxy for my Debian installation and have tried to undo the setup. But the proxy, a Mac OSX machine, is still used by the Debian installation, in this manner: I have Apache2 installed and have set up a localhost index page. It has a link to the Apache server on the Mac OSX machine. The link goes like this: (Mac OSX server) The persistent problem is that the local href http://192.168.1.4/content is getting rewritten to http://127.0.0.1/content and the request fails. This happens in every browser I have installed on the Debian system: Konqueror, Galeon, Iceweasel, Epiphany. ( I do web design and development and want to test the content in as many browsers as I can have access to) I have both Gnome and KDE installed and have tried to re move the proxy settings in the preferences of each browser and the general preferences and settings for proxy in both Gnome and KDE but the problem persists. If I write the address directiy into the location field of the browser, the same thing happens, the address is rewritten to the localhost address (127.0.0.1). When I go to the Mac OSX machine and have it follow the link to the Debian server, it loads the Debian index page. When I follow the link in the Debian index page back to the OSX server the link address is also rewritten (by the OSX browser). But since it is a valid address and file it works. That is why it appears that proxy settings in the Debian system have not been released. Can anyone direct me to some setting that will solve this problem?

As might be expected, the most difficult part is the configuration file. I run Emacs (and in X, I run XEmacs). Gnus runs under Emacs or XEmacs. If that is a problem for you, then forgive me for suggesting Gnus. For the on-line documentation, first install Gnus (you always can un-install it), and then type "M-x gnus"; this brings up "gnus.info" And then there is the Gnus manual, which you can find with a Google search on "gnus manual"; it is the first item on the list: http://gnus.org/manual.html And with a few minutes of searching with Google, you can turn up any number of sample configuration files and guides. Your only problem is likely to be running out of paper, laser toner, or ring binders. %% I run Mutt for mail. Curiously, it was my first attempt to use Mutt which led me to Gnus. Several years ago, I tried to get started with Mutt, but I could not figure out the configuration file. Then I tried Gnus, got it working, and used it for two or three years. Within the last year, something drew my attention to Mutt. This time I found a good Mutt HowTo, got Mutt working, and I currently am using Mutt. But it is almost a coin-toss. I may switch back to Gnus. Both Mutt and Gnus are excellent for mail. Both Mutt and Gnus are quite efficient at handling large numbers of messages; there doesn't appear to be anything else in their class. Both are keyboard-oriented; you don't need the rodent. Both Mutt and Gnus are a bit obscure. At present, Mutt appears to have a more active community ready to offer assistance. But Gnus is first of all a news reader, so if you are looking for a news reader, give Gnus a try. And if you like it for news, then give it a try for mail.
