pkg scripts/dependency issues

i know for sure that when j2sdk1.3 was installed the first time, it did not create the link in /usr/lib/mozilla for the java plugin. purging that package (j2sdk1.3), and reinstalling it resulted in the missing link (no pun). i am assuming this could have been the case because mozilla was not inst

funny route table?

i recently installed woody as the base for a firewall. i basically set up a scheme where it was the only link to a subnet of 'protected' computers and no packets were allowed to reach them. i had set up NAT on them and let those packets through, but the connections would be originating from behin

scsi controller or kernel failure?

i have received the following message(s) several times now, and once it happens, i have no choice but to reboot. i had to manually reboot once before because i didn't have the SysRq magic built in my kernel, and severe filesystem damage (irreparable for the existing system) was sustained forcing m

^S/scroll-lock in konsole

2001-10-22 Thread 'cduck' Chris Grierson
anyone know what signal ^S sends, and how to unfreeze a konsole when it gets pressed? on one of the system consoles (tty1-6; btw, what is the proper name for these?), it is effectively a scroll-lock (the scroll- lock light on the keyboard will light up also), but you have to press the scroll-lock

lockup on x logout

i use xdm -nodaemon from inittab (respawn), rather than xdm (mostly because i like knowing it will always be restarted if xdm bails). first off, is that excessive? secondly, xdm has recently been acting up a bit (well, it could be entirely X itself...). basically, on logout, X exits and xdm rest

debian runlevels

2001-09-18 Thread 'cduck' Chris Grierson
hello all, i am curious as to what the 'norm' is for *debian* regarding runlevels. that is, is it not a safe method of shutting down services to switch to runlevel 1, then back to a 'normal' runlevel (2-5)? basically, a coworker uses redhat, and he does this often to clean up his machine, and i

2.4.8 + umount'ing ZIP

i am confused. if i mount my zip disk as root, i can still umount as a normal user. i have specified 'user,noauto' as the options in fstab, but i am seeing behavior expected of 'users,noauto' (not the plural user*s*). from `man mount`: (iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems.

kde 2.2 fonts

i don't intend to necessarily rehash any past discussion of kde 2.2 and fonts, but are there any resources regarding fixing kde 2.2's 'font madness'? (font madness == using arbitrary, probably lexically first-listed fonts, and disregarding your settings in the control center). that and however kd
