I also blew away my X setup when I upgraded from potato to woody so I know
how it feels. Here's some information I determined in the course of
fixing things:
Under potato you were using XFree86 release 3.3.+. Woody prefers to use
XFree86 release 4.0+. You can still use XFree release 3.3 in wood

I have built almost ssh debs for potato from woody source. I don't
remember exactly why it didn't finish, but I built all the crypto
libraries and the ssh and sshd programs. There was a packaging issue
that prevented the debs from building. If you want, I can send you what
I have, but you should
I'm having a library problem with WordPerfect 8 for linux on my
debian/testing system. Sometime over the past several months, in the
course of upgrading the system something has broken wordperfect. When I
start it, it segfaults after bringing up the splash screen and the main

I'm trying to install the downloaded version of StarOffice on a system
running
a recent version of potato. It hangs just when I'm telling it to begin
the
install. I understand there are lots of issues with the version of the
C library
in use. The release notes say that it is tested with glibc-2.
This sounds like what happened to me when my X setup and gpm where
competing for the mouse. If I switched between X and console and I
bumped the mouse, then bad things would happen. I fixed this by using
the repeater option on gpm -R to write to /dev/gpmdata and set up
X to use that instead of /d
Hi,
Recently, whenever I start netscape when I'm not connected to an ISP, it
hangs in startup even if I'm using it to look at a local file. I used

netscape xyzzy.html
and view the local file xyzzy.html even when I'm not connected. It used
to be that when I started netscape wh

On my amiga there is an option such that when I ppp connect, the
addresses of the name servers are automatically discovered so I don't
have to enter them manually. Is there such an option for linux ppp?
This would be useful since I sometimes have to connect to different ISPs
which have diffe
Hi,
I have a generic 56K PCI modem supplied with my system. I was assured
by the vendor
that this was not a winmodem. The documentation that was supplied
with the modem is not for a PCI modem so I can't trust anything
it says. The only thing I know about this modem is that it has Lucent
chipset
If you have the default system.fvwm2rc file active, it also
starts the pager at the end. To get the pager on all desktops,
you have to put

somewhere in the initializaion. Putting it in post.hook works
for instance.

How do I put libc6-dev on my system with libc5-dev without having
to reinstall all my other -dev packages? If I select libc6-dev
in dselect, I get 10 or so conflicts of packages that it wants to
remove before it will allow me to put libc6 on.
Thanks,
Here's the situation:
My debian system is running as an NIS client from a master which
happens to be an SGI. I can log into my debian linux system, so it
sees my user name from the passwd map. I can do a
ypcat passwd.byname
ypcat passwd.byuid
ypcat group.byname
ypcat group.bygid
and see all t
