Basically,
tar czf myFiles.`date`.tar.gz myfiles
though that gets you whitespaces in the file name. You should use
date(1) with a format string, have a look in date's manpage.

NEdit is perfectly able to do things like this using regexes, in the
whole file or in multiple files. See help node 3.

If it gets a bit more complicated, he could use NEdit's macro
language, see help node 22.


Learning Perl is a good idea though. I'm afraid I didn't learn it from

Whatever the RFCs say, I think the motivation is clear: Don't send the

not be able to read it, so one reply is enough.

Good question. Assuming no files beginning with zsh are in pwd, the
bash shouldn't find anything. It's probably a matter of policy whether
you are warned or not. I like the zsh way, but considering the
Gazillion options of the zsh, I wouldn't be surprised if you could
change it.

If you want to to have useful completion of dpkg parameters, you
should look around for zsh's smart completion. I use a set from SuSE
and it really helps me a lot.


>While I can do

Yup, you have these files, so they are expanded. Try this:

and you will see what zsh thinks about the files you will get.

My first guess is that you didn't set up your MTA correctly. I don't
use Exim, but I'd expect some question about local systems/domains and
a smart host or relay host. These would be things to look up in Exim's
documentation.

Sure. I just wanted to show why I can't try to get your results.

I only use SuSE because Woody doesn't like HPT370s and I have had no

Well, yours is the first signature I was not able to get from

However, I thought they would exchange keys, so I would like to hear

xscreensaver locks twice

2002-11-02 Thread Thorsten Haude
Hi,

I use xscreensaver to lock my notebook's screen after it resumes. For
this, I start xscreensaver in ~/.xinitrc and call xscreensaver-command
from apmd_proxy:
xscreensaver-command -lock

However, everytime the notebook wakes up and the lock is activated, I
get the following error:
xscreensaver: LOCK ClientMessage received while already locked.

This happens even after very short suspends and even though I set the
timeout to 99 hours.

It's only a minor blemish, but I would still like to remove it. Do you
have any idea what happens here?

Anything you often use, most certainly the libc and X, maybe qt or

RFC: Caps Lock

2002-11-10 Thread Thorsten Haude
Hi,

I want to get my caps lock key a new purpose (because I absolutely
despise the current one) and want to hear your opinion about it.

There are several options:
- a second ctrl key
- make a Modn key from the OS key, another Modn key from caps lock
- make the same Modn key form OS key and caps lock

So what are your thoughts about this? Is there another good use I
could put caps lock to? Experiences?

That would be a way to do it. I found another one that builds an
xmodmap file by hand which I wanted to use. However, there are so many
options that I wanted to ask you about best practises.

The actual situation is a new notebook which has my first keyboard
with OS keys and without umlauts. So I have to modify things anyway.

I plan to put that on Shift+CapsLock.

No Umlauts in Gnome Apps

2002-12-01 Thread Thorsten Haude
Hi,

I cannot see Umlauts (äöÜ) and other special characters (æß) in my GTK
applications (Gimp, EasyTAG, Gedit, GKrellM).

I use a US keyboard layout and a modified keymap to enter these
special characters. This works fine for KDE, LessTif and Tk, but GTK
does not display them, all I get is a zero-width character.

I can use the clipboard to move these zero-width character to KDE or
LessTif, They are diplayed perfectly then, so it seems to be only a
display problem.

What's up with my system?


As a side note, I also get a warning on start of most GTK apps:
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
I can remove this warning by setting LC_ALL to C, but I don't know
about the consequences. Which would be the best documentation to read
about this? (Setting LC_ALL does not help with special characters.)

First make sure you *are* running bash in bash mode.
Second, forget X11 for a second until you are sure that your shell is
working. The alias thing should not be influenced by this, but you
never know.
Third, read up on bash's startup in the man page, INVOCATION.

What happens if you source the file containing the aliases? What about
other entries in .bashrc?

I can't help you with the Bash, but I recommend the Zsh. The Zsh warns

Cannot configure Network

2002-01-02 Thread Thorsten Haude
Hi,

I switched from SuSE to Debian about three hours ago and already run
into a wall.
The only way to install Debian here is by CD-ROM, because our boxes
are not bootable by floppy. So I'm stuck with this Debian 3.0 Preview
CD I have.

The problem is that dbootstrap never offers to configure device
drivers. After step 7.11 (Install Operating System Kernel and Modules)
I get straight to 7.14 (Configure the Network), which cannot find any
NICs and offers only to set the box' name.

I can load the module successfully (well, at least it tells me so)
with modconf, but I don't know how to do the net configuration the
easy way.

Is this a known problem or in some way related to my unapt use of
Woody? I would especially appreciate pointer to documents explaining
this behavior.

Not exactly, but I can maybe give a few hints.

AFAIK you must run the xhost command as the user who runs the X
server. What happens if you do that?

There are also two authentication methods, one host based and the one
with the cookies. Maybe you could read in some howto about the latter.

Whatever you think, Postfix starts my MDA because I tell it to in my

So if you use your ~/.forward differently, you may run into problems,

Mail Chain Broken

2002-01-07 Thread Thorsten Haude
Hi,

I want to build this mail chain for my workstation:
Fetchmail -> Postfix -> Mail::Audit -> Mutt -> Postfix
(Mail::Audit is inactive for now.)

The packages are installed, the services running. However, I cannot
receive mail. A look in the logs showed no errors per se, but a lot of
weird addresses. Here is one:
Jan  7 15:25:34 acp1575 postfix/smtp[3727]: 1FC50F838: to=<[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>, relay=post.strato.de[192.67.198.62], delay=91, status=sent (250 
PAA11280 Message accepted for delivery)
Notice the to-part: acp1575 is localhost, but I doubt that twice is
twice as good.

Mails to the wild wild net are not rewritten and get through, so I guess
that Fetchmail is the culprit. The fetchmail.rc starts like this:
- - - Schnipp - - -
set daemon 300
set postmaster hde
set syslog
- - - Schnapp - - -
(The rest are accounts.)

I looked through the Debian-specific Fetchmail files, but couldn't find
anything amiss. What am I missing?

Kernel 2.6.0 Cannot Mount Root FS

I just installed Sarge and made a new Kernel (2.6.0) for it. However,
the new Kernel cannot find the root file system:

VFS: Cannot open root device "2246" or hdh6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

I have no trouble booting Sarge's stock kernel (2.4.22-bf2.4). The

I use an Abit KT7A-RAID, both disks are connected to the HPT-370 RAID
controller. Grub is installed on the first disk, Sarge is on the
second disk. All disks use ext3fs.


The new kernel has the following options (all non-modular):
- - - Schnipp - - -
IDE
BLK_DEV_IDE
BLK_DEV_IDEDISK
BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
BLK_DEV_HPT366

Dou you use a key to log into that host? I only use ssh-askpass to

Install Windows first. It's a bad sportsman and has a history of

Make sure that Windows boot from the bootmanager you choose. I like
Grub, but Lilo seems to be more popular and more easy to use
initially.

If Knoppix works, then other Debians work. If you want to learn, I
suggest installing a stock Woody. That is more work but also more
learning.

Don't use Sarge or Sid.

For far too long Microsoft has been telling people that you could have

My guess is that it's a worm, and something stripped off its dangerous

Nope, OS/2 is the operating system and was supposed to replace DOS.
The GUI is called Presentation Manager, and the first versions of
Windows were in fact called Presentation Manager for DOS. The desktop
is Workplace Shell and I'm still missing some of its features.

With a decent shell it might have been just endurable.

You are asking all the wrong questions. What repository you are
looking for? What packages do you need libs for? What is apt-get
supposed to find?

Please explain what you are trying to do.
