Hi all,
My system is debian testing, I just found I lost man pages
for basic system calls, like open(), read() write() ...
Can someone tell me what is the package I need to install?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have Debian testing with kernel 2.6.12-1-386 on an IBM Thinkpad. For
some reason, ACPI is not enabled in the kernel by default. This is
unfortunate, because I cannot monitor the battery without ACPI.
How exactly do I go about configuring the kernel to enable ACPI? I am

My system is debian testing, with kde 3.4, xorg 6.8.2.
After upgradeing from kde 3.3.x to kde 3.4.2,
firefox crashes everytime I visit a site
with flash stuff. Anyone has a clue on how
to get around without removing flash plugin?
thanks.

Hi all,
I have sarge running on a dell inspiron 8200.
In kde, I noticed something really weird:
About 1/3 screen width from the right, there
is one (maybe more) column of pixels missing.
Whenever I move a window there, I can see contents
missing in that column, no matter it is text or graphics.

I am using sarge, both kde and gnome are installed.
I chose to use kde style and font for gtk application
in kde (kcontrol -> appearance & themes -> gtk styles and fonts),
then I found kde wrote the following into .gtkrc-2.0:
include "/usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
