Sooner or later, gtk apps in Sid then Sarge will be replaced with gtk2. So just a suggestion that keep 2 versions of the app because not everyone wants to use gtk2, it's still too new for me to accept and people still develop and update their gtk1.x apps.

Hello during the installation I choose yes when the installer ask if I want to make user directory accessible by other users (that was the default). Now I changed my mind, because even /root is readable by others ... is there a way to reverse what I have chosen ? reconfigure something ? Or may be a chmod command that would do the trick ? thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ethernet connection drop while idle
my ethernet card drops its connection after some idle time, then come back when the computer is active again... how can I change this behavior in Linux (I don't want to reboot and go to the Bios and change this because I want to keep my uptime) ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Samba with WinXP
Hello, I have problem with connecting to the samba server on my Debian box from a WinXP machine. I can connect to the samba server from all my other Linux box but I just can't connect to it from an XP machine. I can see the Debian Samba server listing in the XP's WorkGroup place. I got a message "account not authorized to log in from this station" when I try to connect. Is there any different setting in WinXP , some registry edit etc ? tia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, > but you can tell the Matrox driver that the LCD is there > vs a monitor and see if that cleans it up. > I am not sure what the option to tell it's an LCD is. > What does your config file and your log looklike? My kernel (2.4.18) is compiled and configured manually, I did enable dri and matrox (mga.o) support in the kernel as modules. But I notice that they are never needed - lsmod claims that they aren'tunused. mga 102480 0 (unused) agpgart15776 1 But anyway, I am using the mga drivers from Matrox. In my XF86Conf4. I have these 3 lines that I am not really sure what they do Section "Module" # Load"GLcore" # is this needed for matrox ? Load"dri" # # Load"glx" I have problems with the glx, according to Matrox readme, it should be on. But when I enable it, I can't start X. Here's a portion of the X log (==) MGA(0): Backing store disabled (==) MGA(0): Silken mouse enabled (**) MGA(0): DPMS enabled (II) MGA(0): Using overlay video (==) MGA(0): Direct rendering disabled (II) [GLX]: Calling GlxExtensionInit Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting - From this, I can tell that DRI is disabled - why? and something with GLX that crashed the server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Making a bootable rescue CD from a rescue floppy disk
Hello, My system has just been installed on a HD connected on a Promise66 controller card,a boot floppy has been created at the end, also lilo was installed in the mbr. The problem is my Motherboard and the IDe controller, it refused to boot from either the floppy drive or the Hard drive, it only can boot via the CD rom. I do not know how to fix this, it is always like this eversince I bought the Ide controller. So I am thinking that if I can copy the image from my floppy disk to the cd, then it's possible that I can boot to the system. But I am not sure how to copy the content of the Debian boot floppy to a CD and make that cd bootable. Any one has any idea on how to do that ? Or any idea why the IDE controller refuse to boot from its drive and also ignore the floppy drive. Thanks in advanced. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Forward all mail in mbox to new email address
I have a large number of emails stored in a mbox file and I read these mails from mutt. I'd like to forward *each* one of them to a new email address (not as a big attachment). I can forward one by one manually but I am looking for a way that automates this process. Anyone can help me out here ? Thanks , PS: it would be much better to have these sent to the new address with the senders are the original ones instead of me, but if it's not possible, forward would be fine. = ThanhVu H.
