no sound with kernel-image-2.6.0-test9-1-386...deb
Hello, I downlaoded the kernel-image-2.6.0-test9-1-386_2.6.0-test9-1_i386.deb and I installed it successfully. Everything works fine, except the sound. ( I run also the kernel-image-2.4.20 and the sound is ok with this kernel ) My sound card is a sb. First I launched modconf but no module was displayed. I did: modprobe sb and I got: sb: Init: Done sb: Init: Starting Probe... kobject_register failed for OSS SndBlstr (-17) Call Trace: [] kobject_register+0x3a/0x40 [] bus_add_driver+0x30/0x64 [] driver_register+0x2d/0x34 [] preempt_schedule+0x2a/0x48 [] pnp_register_driver+0x28/0x58 [] pnp_register_card_driver+0x5e/0x98 [] sb_init+0x63/0xb5 [sb] [] sys_init_module+0xe8/0x1f0 [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb On the other hand I use rexima and when I run rexima I get: rexima: couldn't open /dev/mixer.

CUPS: How to print letters with accent ?
Hello, After I have read again an again the cup's documentation I can't set the filter stcolor.ppd (for my epson printer) to write the letters with accent. For exemple the string: "CUPS où es-tu ?" comes : "CUPS o es-tu ?" The letter "ù" is not printed. With lprng and magicfilter I use the filter stylus800-filter and I add the line: default filter /usr/bin/recode --silent latin1:ibmpc and my printer epson works fine with the letters with accent. What is the equivalent for CUPS ? Thanks in advance for a tip. -- Gerard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for this useful link. I changed the modem, I take a 56 k Data Fax Modem Diamond ... Unfortunatly it doesn't work either. But on the link I read that such modem needs the kernel 2.2.x However I booted with the kernel 2.4.18. I rebooted with the kernel 2.2.18 and miraculously the internal modem works.

Many thanks for your advices user2 is ok now ! for user1 I have the bash script: "facteur": (postman in french) fetchmail --mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" and for user2 the script : "getmes": fetchmail I change "getmes" like "facteur" and now user2 can fetch her (my daughter) mails.

I thank you to spend your time with my problem.
I did not give my true login_on_my_machine, it is not "toto",
it is "robi" and it appears in the file .H of my message
in var/spool/exim/input. I put in attached document this
file.H.
The header of the message that I receive by debian-user contains:
Delivered-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (this is correct)
X envelope-Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(this is not correct because "robi" is my_login-on_my_machine
(the true) and "free.fr" is the domain name of my ISP.
The correct envelope is:
X envelope-Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/etc/exim.conf:
*debian${loockup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
/etc/host : debian
in email-addresses I wrote:
robi:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but the change in this file takes no effect.

PS1 in .bashrc
Hello,
I encountered a trifling problem in my .bashrc:
.
.
# Define some colors:
RED='\e[1;31m'
cyan='\e[0;36m'
CYAN='\e[1;36m'
YELLOW='\e[1;33m'
NC='\e[0m' # No Color
...
...
#-
# Shell prompt:
#-
LOAD=$(uptime | cut -c 45-49)
TIME=$(date +%H:%M)
PS1="${cyan}[\$TIME [EMAIL PROTECTED] ${YELLOW}\#$NC] \w\$ "
with this PS1 I get:
[18:31 : 0.16]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1] ~$
but if I write a very long command the cursor remains on the same line and
overlaps the prompt.
If I set PS1 like:
PS1="${cyan}[\$TIME [EMAIL PROTECTED] ${YELLOW}\#$NC] \w\$\n"
the cursor is under the prompt and the new line works correctly if I write
a long command.
Is it possible to have the cursor on the same line of the prompt such that the
long command doesn't overlaps the prompt ?
Thanks in advance for a tip.

Gerard

LANG in /etc/environment and in .bashrc
Hello, I would like to understand why, when I set LANG to C, in /etc/environment and LANG to fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 in my .bashrc, after the login, I can't write te letters with accents. ( However if I launch mutt, for example, the messages send by mutt are in French. ) On the other hand, if I run "bash" in command line, I can write the letters with accents. (But two "bash" are running) Is it possible that I can write the letters with accents after the login with LANG=C in /etc/environment and export LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 in my .bashrc ? And how to do that ? TIA -- Gerard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check if your > .bash_profile is set to include your .bashrc. I think so. My .bash_profile contains the lines: (without #) if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.basrc Anyway, one solution is to put LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 in /etc/environment and export LANG=C in the .bashrc of the user English-speaking.
