Gdesklets Doesn't Connect to Daemon

I was looking at the gdesklets package, and it looked interesting enough for me to apt-get it to try it and see how it was. Problem is when I do a "gdesklets start", it times out while trying to connect to the daemon. I found an old FAQ page on it (page didn't even exist anymore, only the google c

Evolution gave me some problems a little while ago, so I started using Mozilla Thunderbird. I had no problems at all when removing Evolution. It'll complain that it has to remove the 'gnome' package as well, but that's just a meta package. Nothing to worry about. For the record, for me at least,

I've written down a few of the libraries that programs don't seem to be able to load randomly, although I'd expect that the libraries aren't significant in this case, they just happen to be trying to load them at the same time that there's "too many open files". But, just in case, these are the one

Firstly, I apologize for having no real details on this. I'm running Debian Unstable, and seemingly randomly, I'll go to run a program or save a file or what not, and I'll get an error to the effect of "too many open files on system". In one case, I rebooted to try and solve this, and within 5 min

Re: All these open ports

2004-08-18 Thread Mike Ward
Generally speaking, to close a port, you shut down whatever deamon is listening on it. For example, if you had port 80 open, and want to close it, shut down your web server (apache or whatever else). Same with ssh - to close that port, shut down sshd. On Fri, 13 Aug 2004 21:56:17 -0400, Tong <[EM

For anyone who happens to stumble across this or what-not, I ended up messing with Crossover Office a bit, and eventually got it to install IE6. So far it works quite well, other than a few (realitively minor) glitches in displaying things like combo boxes and such. Thanks for all the suggestions.
