installing window managers ...
I can configure extra session types via KDE controll centre. They then come up on the KDM graphical menu for login. On red hat I then modified /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and added a line for my newly installed window manager saying if session is fluxbox, call fluxbox etc HOWEVER I cant figure it for debian ?? any ideas where the debian script is ? /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession in debian doesnt make any sense to me !! many thanks dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ip_table problems
I run kernel 2.4.19, I want to run firestarter as a GUI firewall, it needs IP chains enabled in the kernel I have checked /usr/src//Documentation zip I have read man ipchains zip of use I finaly tracked down an article telling me what modules to enable, I have in Network options M Packet socket M Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) * Socket filtering * Unix domain socket - BOY did I miss this one when I forgot it !! * TCP?IP network In netfilter configuration I have M IP table support M For all the modules down to ARP table support, this one I have left blank I boot the machine debian:/home/test# modprobe ip_tables /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_unregister_sockopt /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol nf_register_sockopt /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed debian:/home/test# every time !!!

Try alias sound-slot-0 es1371 in /etc/modultils/aliasis then update-modules worked for me . If not look in /var/log/messages & syslog after a boot It will tell you what the system could not find, in my case sound-slot-0, QED As I configure my system, I write a kind of howto for myself, heres my page for es1371 and its gameport ... Debian 3.0, es1371 Sound & Gameport Ensure the following modules are enabled in the kernel M Sound card support, soundcore M Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI 97 ES1371, es1371 M Input core support, joydev M Char dev/joystick/clasic PC analog, analog Re-compile the kernel .. cd /dev/input rm js* cd .. rm js* mknod input/js0 13 0 ln -s input/js0 js0 at the end of /etc/modules, add the lines soundcore joydev analog js-fullchf es1371 joystick=1 & re-boot... Should all work. Set the joystick switch to '2' Install joystick with dselect Check joystick with jstest /dev/js0 Joystick/dev/js0 trigger 0 big green button1 2 x yellow buttons 2,3 CH flightstick pro, in modes 3,4 it simulates generic joystick IF the sound fails. I originally setup /etc/modules/aliases to include alias sound-slot-0 es1371 Then run update-modules, before I played with the gameport PS Ive got almost all of debian working now, If you think the rest of my home brew howtos would be usefull, e-mail me and i will send em.

Opps !! HELLLLLLLLPPPPPP !!! iptables and a clingon
HELP I was experimenting with firewall scripts, one of which was mason, the one that as you use the internet it generates rules. I have since deleted all these scripts, read up about iptables and am happy to DIY !!! HOWEVER a bit of mason still seems to be hanging on when I connect with iptables -L showing accept on everything, (I know this is SO insecure, but bear with me ...) all is OK, when I use a web browser, mail etc iptables -L starts comeing up with rules, I didnt put them there, I think it must be mason. However the rules are no good and block my dial on demand link the next time I wnat to use it I have to /etc/init.d/iptables reload to clear iptables -L to accept, then its OK till I use the web !!! I have tried everything, re-load mason, purge it etc etc >From now on no more flashy scripts, good old text config files for me .

HOWEVER !!! If possible I would like to set this up so I dont have to append="apm=on apm=power-off" in LILO, I compiled APM as a module, removed, append " " from LILO inserted apm on power-off into /etc/modules and ta ta .. it failed !!! also tried .. apm power-off=1 ta ta .. it failed !!!

I currently have libpng2 libpng3 selected for install, no good When I select libpng2-dev or libpng-dev I get a recursive package problem ??

win 98 crash, damage to debian KDE taskbar ?
I had a problem, my windows 98SE crashed badly, no supprise there, and seemed to corrupt debian on the next partition. I didn't think windows could access any other partitions ? I had to manually fsck the drive where it cleared a inode. Am i right, this has deleted a file ??? Anyhow since then the 'window' on my taskbar where all the minimised programs go has disappeared. IE if i minimise a window I cant access it !!! I have checked preferences/settings/appletts I got to admit this menu is confusing, Any ideas how to get my taskbar window back so I can un-minimise applications + how do I add remove applets, the menu seems to do nothing ?

kdm sessions menu forgets ...
I have added window maker to my sessions manager, used the .deb package AOK works a treat. I now have a wmaker option to boot into from kdm. I also have fluxbox installed. I compiled it form source because I needed the latest version. I added a session fluxbox from the KDE controll center. AOK worked a treat, had a fluxbox option on the kdm menu except ... It keeps forgetting fluxbox. I keep telling kde controll centre its there, it lasts for a boot or two then defaults back to no fluxbox though wmaker is still there. Does a .deb file do something more to fix a session in kdm ??? Any ideas ?? The sessions are held in .. /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc I have tried editing these directly, it works OK for a while then defaults !!

I use pppd with the dial on demand option, it works great but I need a way of turning it on and off via pon/poff FROM the logged in user ... To get this to work I have ... chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppdroot chgrp dip /sbin/killall5 Sets up SUID for pppd pppconfig Setup users to use pon/poff .. puts users in group dip dselect bbppp vi /usr/bin/poff insert a FLAG="a" at line 52 to kill all pppds automatically Call bbppp with bbppp -thru -com -d And everything works aok with bbppp EXCEPT If root calls pon, it with ppp_on_boot in /etc/ppp then a user cannot stop pppd with poff However if the user calls pon, it works, poff stops pppd Due to my setup, I realy need ppp_on_boot to start and user to stop start if neccesarry. Any ideas ?? Dave PS Is the way I have setup dip and SUID secureish ??!! mv /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

jpeg to xpm format ??
I am in the middle of a reorganising my system, I will be using jpeg. It appears that the splashscreen needs a .xpm.gz format. The .gz is easy, how do I get to an xpm format Idealy I want to convert one of my jpeg images to use as the splash screen. A while ago I found an article that showed a command to convert jpeg --> xpm I looked in info grub but could not find anything about the splashscreen command.

dial on demand ... dials by itself !!
I have enabled dial on demand, it works great except sometimes it dials up by itself. I assume by some program trying to access and unknown ip address. How do I find out what programms are using my ppp link ? ps ax | grep ppp tells me ppp is active, but what caused it to activate and what program is sending all this data ???!!!
