kontact calendar alarms
maybe I am doing something wrong ( or not doing something..) I create an appointment in the calendar, add an alarm, add user notifications, and... it does nothing.

I believe that this will work: remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Mod4 = Super_L remove Mod1 = Alt_L remove Control = Control_L keycode 50 = Caps_Lock keycode 37 = Caps_Lock keycode 66 = Control_L keycode 64 = Super_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Mod4 = Super_L add Mod1 = Alt_L add Control = Control_L Here, 50, 37, 66 and 64 are the keycodes for the left Shift key, the left Ctrl key, the CapsLock key and the left Alt key, respectively, with my keyboard.

Re: Undefined video mode number: 314
I need to correct an earlier post.

Oops, that is now no longer true! There didn't used to be a way, but now there is. Option "MaxClock" "110" in the monitor section is the way to do it. In your current setup, it doesn't really matter because the video card's maximum dot clock rate is lower than the monitor's video bandwidth. Therefore, it is impossible to exceed the monitor's video bandwidth. But if you ever use this monitor with another video card, one whose dot clock can go faster than 110 MHz, that is the "right" way to make sure that you don't overclock your monitor, rather than overriding the DacSpeed in the video card section. There is a "MinClock" setting too. According to the man page for xorg.conf, this value is to be specified in kHz, but I think that that is probably a mis-print. Dot clock values have always been specified in MHz. In summary, the governing equations for CRT monitors are as follows: horizontal_frame_length * vertical_frame_length * vertical_refresh_rate = pixel_clock_rate and horizontal_frame_length * horizontal_refresh_rate = pixel_clock_rate (This is assuming a non-interlaced mode.) From these two equations, a third equation can be derived, which is vertical_frame_length * vertical_refresh_rate = horizontal_refresh_rate These govern all the trade-offs in video modes. As you can see from the first equation, if you want a higher vertical refresh rate, you must either use a higher pixel clock rate or a lower resolution. These are the laws of physics and you can't change them. Also, after re-reading the series of posts, I now see why you said > Less?? That first time. You're right, the correct word in that sentence was "more". Good luck and best wishes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: USB disk shows up late at boot

When you boot (this is Sid) the 2 USB disks report their presence between the messages: 'Loading, please wait...' and 'Init 2.86 booting' in the very beginning of the boot process. Now the funny part: in my homegrown kernel both show up together. But with recent Debian kernel images only one shows up. I have a delay of 10 secs. in initramfs-tools but that makes no difference. The 2nd USB disk shows up eventually, but after 'Init 2.86 booting' when it is too late to be of use by fstab. This isn't the first time I've asked this, but nobody seems to have an answer.

Kernel compile and install does not create initrd
I have compiled a custom kernel, using 'make-kpkg clean && make-kpkg --initrd --revision=sage.1.0 kernel-image', 'sage' being the name of my machine. I then installed it, using 'dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.30_sage.1.0_amd64.deb'. I had thought that would be enough to create the initrd necessary to boot, but there is no initrd-image in /boot corresponding to the kernel, and (of course) none listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst for this kernel's entry. So (again of course) there's a kernel panic when I attempt to boot using this kernel. I tried dpkg-reconfigure on the kernel, but no joy. initramfs and initrd support are enabled in my kernel config. So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm not seeing it, and I've read the relevant sections of the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook.)

(The last time I checked, the Squeeze installer was a symbolic link to the Lenny installer. So even if you think you're using the Squeeze installer, you may actually be using the Lenny installer. In my case, I couldn't install grub successfully during installation, but I could install lilo successfully.

I think the install script says something about BIOSes dated after 2001 should be OK. But it seems to depend on which BIOS manufacturer you're talking about (AMI, Award, Phoenix, etc.). I've seen some posts documenting non-support of the large-memory option on BIOSes newer than 2001. It works for me, but maybe not for you. Try removing the large-memory option, re-running lilo, and re-booting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Thanks, now with the variable exported, orca seems to run fine if launched from an lxterm (terminal window), but doesn't work if it is invoked from the alt+f2 run dialog. Should the alt+f2 dialog honour the variables value? Thanks very much Dan signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I just tried it in a shell one-liner, and I used a bit less logic to parse it than other methods I've tried in the past. The below is for the benefit of those who are just joining this thread: For programs that expect strftime(3) format [1] this is equivalent to -Iseconds (which isn't even documented in date(1)'s manpage in Lenny) date +'%FT%T%z' # the part in single quotes is passed straight to # strftime(3) if I believe, someone correct me if # I'm wrong, please. A simple '%F' is equivalent to 'date -I'.

Only problem I've had with pinfo is that I wasn't able to make work with soft links - i.e. you have a two versions of gcc and gcc is a link to the most current, pinfo burps a 'file not found' or something message. But I didn't really research it much, I had too many problems manually editing the info directory. Otherwise, with its fairly 'intuitive' navigation model, I think it makes reading the doc fo an extended period of time somewhat easier than either info or man. Enjoy.

Hence remove also any options with bmp and the install option in your lilo configuration. On what HDD/partiton did you install lilo? On sdc. I tried sda, but the problem subsist. Do you boot directly into Lilo or do you use another bootloader that starts Lilo? I disabled the large-memory option but no effects... Please reply to the list, so other people can follow.

inserting USB key causes reboot (sometimes)
I need help diagnosing a problem. I have a Lenny system that sometimes reboots when I insert a USB key. It happens with multiple USB keys, but I can't figure out the pattern as to when it reboots and when it doesn't. I should mention that it's more of a hard reset than a reboot -- services don't get a chance to shut down or anything like that. I *think* it is more likely to happen if I insert the USB stick immediately after login. GDM is set up to auto-login my user. I've looked through the log files but can't find anything conclusive. Anybody have any ideas? -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Never Ending Quest for Working PCMCIA Serial Port Dell Enspiron
The laptop in question has a built-in dialup modem which doesn't even show up as a serial port in Linux. In the P.C.'s setup screen, it doesn't show up there so I can't remove or move it out of the way, but a PCMCIA card installed containing a real truly RS-232 port tries to come in as ttyS0. That internal modem is probably the reason why /dev/ttyS0 acts as it does. One can not send from it, but one can receive. Is there a way to fake out the system to make it assign /dev/ttyS1 to the PCMCIA port? That would probably make it work. Thanks for any ideas.
