I recently upgraded from Sarge to Etch, and Iceweasel didn't handle flash correctly. (Java was OK in the few applications I tried.) My bookmarks and preferences were kept, and the transition was really seamless, except for the flash. If there was a plugins directory in usr/share/iceweasel as there was in firefox, fixing it would have been simple, but there wasn't. So I removed Iceweasel and reinstalled Firefox.

Adding $HOME to /etc/profile should not work the way you want it to. These settings are global, consider them as "executed by root", so in this case $HOME will resolve as /root, not /home/manon as you may have expected.

Adobe SVG viewer plugin
Hi Debianists, I have a strange problem with the SVG viewer plugin from Adobe [1]. I use XFCE. I installed the plugin, then went to test it. An EULA was displayed, I accepted it, and from then on, SVG graphicvs were displayed correctly. However, my wife uses Gnome. When she tried to check SVG, nothing was displayed, and Iceweasel stopped with a segmentation fault. When I started it from a terminal window, there were two messages: Could not find font to display EULA Could not find font to display menu The same happened with my guest account. But, when I logged in to an XFCE session with the guest account, all went well. Logging back to Gnome the same thing happened (except that the EULA message wasn't displayed, since I accepted it). So, my question basically is: what are the differences between Gnome and XFCE related to font handling, and what shall I do to let the SVG plugin access the font it needs under Gnome? Thanks in advance.

Good one! But, just to clear things: jpeg is not neccesarily a lossy format - although we usually make it lossy to save space. So, be sure that you know what you are doing when you are being sued! For example: - He came here after swallowing a piece of puzzle. - My dog suddenly ran in and that's his tail. - I explicitly asked the patient to smile but he refused to.

If it is an USB ADSL modem, that is a real headache to set up. You need drivers, which may or may not exist. And if they do exist, they may or may not be packaged as .debs. And the type of the modem usually isn't enough to find the driver, because there are types which are made with several different chipsets. If, however, the drivers are found, the hard part is done.

Are you sure that your phone is recognized by the system? Try lsusb after you connect it, and if it's listed, try starting wammu, then select Wammu -> Search phone!

Check http://www.debian.org/releases/unstable/ The only way to get Sid is to upgrade from a previous release via # aptitude dist-upgrade. So your dilemma simplifies to this question: do the upgrade from Etch, or upgrade to Lenny and then to Sid.

Good point!
Try the following:
1. Save your /etc/apt/sources.list file as /etc/apt/sources.list.old!
2. Make a new one containing only the following line:
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
(and maybe the first line describing the DVD.)
3. Try apt-get update now!
4. If it works, you may add the contents of your old sources.list file
line by line, but I suggest adding only this repository:
deb ftp://ftp.{two-letter country code}.debian.org/debian/ stable
contrib main non-free
It has pymol :-)
Good luck!

A driver may or may not exist for your modem type. Try to search for it including the VID and PID in the search string. (These are two 2-byte hex numbers - you may obtain them via usbview or in window$.) Then, if you have managed to install the driver, simply set up the connection using pppoeconf (assuming your ISP uses PPPoE). The "special number" consists of your VCI and VPI (Virtual Channel Identifier and Virtual Path Identifier). Your ISP should provide those. The hard part is finding the driver, which means rebooting every 20 minutes. (Assuming you have Internet connection only in window$.) Once the driver works,setting up a connection should not be a problem. Good luck! -- Szia: Nyizsa. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There is a question somewhere asking if you want to configure your monitor in basic, medium or advanced level. It will only allow you to specify your sync values if you choose advanced.

Try selecting "Play location" from the upper-left corner menu, or press
Crtl-L. The ^ button opens a "Play file" window. Also, mount the CD
first, and enter /mnt/cdrom or /media/cdrom instead of /dev/cdrom.
