Noisy computer
I have a HP Pavilion 250y that becomes very silent after a while with XP, but with sid it doesn't stop making noise. I think it is the fan. I was reading a thread at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/1/2003/08/1/78087 and they describe a very similar situation. Does anyone have the same problem? In the discussion above they mention veryfan, I couldn't find it in the packages. Does sid have any thing similar packaged? Any ideas?

audigy ls sound in sid: solved
I finally got my audigy card working after a long battle. For references, the instructions given in the tutorial about installing alsa in debian in http://www.linuxorbit.com (tutorials section) and pointed at from debianplanet.org, didn't work, failed miserably. The instructions at http://www.sonic.net/~rknop/linux/debian_alsa.html didn't work for my card. The instructions in the sourceforge.net site didn't work. There is some emu10k1 site there, I couldn't find it now, sourceforge is down for maintenance. The instructions that worked were the ones provided in the alsa site: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Digital+Entertainment&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1 For those that may be in the same situation.

Another thing is that some times aptitude will show broken dependencies, go then with dselect, and with apt-get with all its different options.

screwed custom kernel image, recovering getting bad
Reposting this message. It seems that it dissapeared. I have the following sid screwed system: / in hdb1 /home in hdb2 swap in hdb3 grub floppy is used to boot. Everything was running great until I made yet another custom kernel image. There is a problem with the scsi that throws the kernel into panic. make menuconfig related info: The only change that I made was to eliminate scsi support for harddrive (which I don't know how it got added in the first place), left the one for CD (change with respect to previous kernel image) . I also made some changes, additions and deletions in the usb modules, because I was getting a lot of unresolved usb mess ( i have 6 usb ports and 2 firewire ports), which I had to solve. Previous kernel image was 2.4.21, same as this new image. booting: Now the booting seems to run much more smoothly, until it gets stucked at the scsi loading step, with inmediate panic. At this point, I can boot using 1. (grub floppy + loading old image 2.4.18) leaves me without a bunch of commands, for example, says that dpkg is not known, etc. 2. knoppix from sept 24 (great by the way). The problem is: I don't know what exactly I should do to get back to the previous image booting sequence. I had done mv /lib/modules/2.4.21 as usual. I have changed the names of the directories sevral times, but I still can tell which is which: The old one has some alsa directory inside. It seems to me that the best option would be to get back to that booting kind, and play more with the kernel images building, until the problem is resolved. The system was too well tuned to redo it (audigy and radeon 9800 running good!), etc. Any ideas are welcome.

Moving some parts of FS to unpopuplated partitions, mounting during booting, swap...
I have some unpopulated partitions. The system originally was woody, using a mixture of testing installer and woody CDs. Since then I moved my system to sid. Due to restrictions in the woody installer, not all 160 gb were recognized. I want to fix this, cfdisk and relatives from sid have no problems seeing the whole disk. So, at this point, all is in /dev/hdb1. What is the best way to move /home; /usr; to some of these partitions, and have then recognized at booting time? I want to create a swap partition, because I didn't create one, due to the fact that I was playing with the netinstaller for testing before using the woody installer, and it seems to me now that it didn't ask me then if I wanted one. And having 512 mb of RAM didn't make me too worried about it. However, the time has come for one. What is the best procedure to get it going?

My email is rejected by some sites
I have exim set in my sid machine, with mutt as MUA. Some isps are rejecting my emails. I have looked at the reason provided, it seems that some have blocked the ips in my block, or that they are blocking all dinamic ips. Some isps are accepting my emails without problems. At some point I thought it might be due to having somewhere in the email the text: "Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". I have tried to tweak muttrc in all possible ways known to me, but it keeps appearing. In the headers all is ok, though. So probably the phrase is inserted by exim.4 (a sid machine). So, if it is the case, how do I change the settings to reflect the change?

I am running exim4, and it even didn't occur to me that there could be a directory /etc/exim4 overriding the older one.

Run "update-exim4.conf" 3. Run "invoke-rc.d exim reload" There are some problems with this: In /etc/exim4/conf.d/routers alone there are several files, which exactly isn't very clear to me must be edited.

more, I've been thinking lately that we must enact laws forbidding

I have another idea: Lets propose taxing breathing, to recouperate
expenses in keeping the environment clean. And lets make illegal not
breathing, so that if someone is seen not breathing in order to avoid
paying taxes, we can throw the son of a bitch in jail to rotten for
ever. And then, lets require by law that all carry breathing ballons and
masks, and if some doesn't do it, lets kill the SOB for resisting. Yes,
beautiful.

I also have an Audigy card, and the only way that I could make it work
was by following the instructions in the alsa site, after downloading
their last version. There are several howtos out there for debian with
alsa, but none of them worked, I repeat, only the instructions in the
alsa site did it. Why, I am clueless, but tha's what happened.

Let me add another element to this topic: In the English language, at least in its American version, the simple division operation 6/2 = 3 in its long form is written 3 | 6 2 | ___ | which corresponds to 6 divided by 2 is 3, but is not exactly co-sequential with its written form.
