Fonts for MathML in Mozilla
Hi, What is the best way to install the fonts needed[1] to properly display MathML in Mozilla and other Gecko-based applications while sticking with the Debian (sid) way of handling fonts? Bug #146605[2] deals with this but is not fixed yet. Thanks in advance for any help and pointers to documentation!

Problem with CUPS: need to enter password for lp and lpq several times
Hi, I'm using CUPS (cupsys-1.1.20final+rc1-10) in Sarge and have a problem using any functions that require authentication. If I want to print a document using lp, I have to enter my password three times before it is accepted. If I want to query the status of the printer queue using lpq, I have to enter the password five (usually) or four (rarely) times. I see similar issues when I'm trying to access the web interface. I can login to the main menu without problem, but if I try to access the jobs listing, I am prompted for the password for what seems to be an infinite number of times. I am quite certain that my mistyping the password over and over again is not the cause of this problem. :) Any ideas?

ddclient uses an unreasonable amount of CPU time
Hi, I'm using ddclient 3.6.2-3 in Debian Sarge in daemon mode to keep my DynDNS.org hostname updated. I have configured it to check the IP address of eth0 every minute, but for some reason ddclient uses 10 to 20 % of the CPU all the time. Is there anything that can be done about it? I don't know what it is doing, but it doesn't seem reasonable, even though it's running on a slow machine. Is there another DynDNS.org client in Debian that support custom accounts (i.e. your own domain name)?

There is no "daemon=1m" line in /etc/ddclient.conf, but /etc/init.d/ddclient runs ddclient with this command line, which should do it: /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 1m -syslog That not withstanding, ddclient constantly uses the CPU. Really strange! I tried adding the "daemon=1m" line to the configuration file and restarted ddclient, but to no avail. However, thanks to Ben Bettin I did find out that ez-ipupdate does support using custom accounts with DynDNS.org. That solved my problem, but it would be nice to find out what causes the high CPU usage nevertheless.

Webcam in Debian
Hi, I'm looking for a webcam for video-conferencing that is well-supported by Debian sid. I will probably have to go for a USB model, since my laptop only provides unpowered IEEE 1394 (FireWire).

Kerberos-authentication in Evolution
Hi, Up until a few days ago, I was happily using Kerberos 4 in Evolution to authenticate against a Cyrus IMAP server. Then it suddenly stopped working. Initially, I assumed that something had changed in the server configuration, but then I found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=285908 The bug report by Steve Langasek requests that Kerberos support, in particular Kerberos 4, be removed from Evolution because of RC bugs preventing some Kerberos libraries from entering Sarge. There are no follow-ups to the bug report, and I can't find anything in the package change log for Evolution. Has Kerberos support been removed? If so, what is the likelihood of it being enabled again, at least as an option? For me this was an important feature which allowed me not having to store sensitive passwords in Evolution and still enjoy the convenience of not having to enter my password repeatedly.

Mailing lists for the BTS
Hi, When a bug is filed in the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS), a mailing list is created (@bugs.debian.org). AFAIK, the submitter and the maintainer of the package, for which the bug was filed, are on this list. Is there a way for a third party interested in the status of the bug to join the mailing list? I know there is a web archive of these lists, but a push method would be preferable to pull. Thanks, Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You might want to check out jpegtran, which can apply lossless transformations (resizing and rotation) to JPEG images within some limits. Most tools uncompress, transform and (lossily) recompress the image, resulting in loss of information each time.

Kernel 2.6.2 and Prism-based PCMCIA WLAN cards
Hi, I have installed the 2.6.2 kernel binary package (kernel-image) that recently entered Debian unstable. However, I haven't been able to get my IEEE 802.11b PCMCIA card to work. It is a Symbol Spectrum24 card, which is based on the Prism 1 chip and works well in 2.4. When I insert the card running 2.6.2 the machine locks up. Sometime it becomes available again when I remove the card, and sometimes it stays locked up. Any suggestion on what might be wrong?

Alternatives to polypaudio (bug #339589)
Hi, When I switched from OSS to ALSA a few years ago, I started having problems with ESD. In particular, it often would not release the sound device, so that non-ESD-enabled programs could use it when ESD didn't need it. Then I discovered polypaudio, and since I sitched to that sound daemon, I haven't had any more problems. But now polypaudio is being removed from Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339589 Are there any other alternative ESD-compatible sound daemons that I could try? Or does ESD work well with ALSA for everybody else? Thanks and merry Christmas, Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Debian-installer and loop-aes
Hi, I'm about to install Debian unstable on a new laptop[1]. I would like to encrypt the drive in case the machine gets lost or stolen. Since this is a new install, it seems preferable to do it right from the start, in order to avoid all the hassles involved in moving from plaintext to encrypted filesystems later on. Is there any way to make debian-installer use loop-aes[2] from the start, or is there some other recommended way to do this? It seems like a common issue, but googling for the obvious keywords hasn't helped me. Cheers, Andreas [1] ThinkPad X41 [2] Is there another disk encryption tool that's better, or is loop-aes the way to go? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Network interface sanity
Hi, I have a laptop with one wired ethernet interface (eth0) and one wireless interface (eth1). I'm using ifupdown. When the computer is not connected to a wired network, while starting up, it is associated with my wireless network and requests and receives an IP address with DHCP. That, however, doesn't satisfy the machine. It proceeds by requesting an address for the wired network as well, despite there being no attached network cable, which holds up the boot process until the DHCP client times out and gives up. What I would like to happen in this situation is that the machine would only try to get an address over the wired network interface if it is actually connected to a network. Otherwise it should try the wireless interface directly. Iff connected to a wired network, the system should only try to connect to a wireless network after having failed to acquire an IP address from the wired network. I would like all of this to happen automatically. Is it possible to configure /etc/interfaces like this? Reading interfaces(5) and the examples in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown didn't help me.
