Whenever I run a program in WINE, the fonts are screwed up so that all
characters are replaced by little rectangles. I am running stable, and have
basic X fonts, plus the MS web fonts installed. Any suggestions?

I'm a fan of noatun, the kde media player. It has a nice tray interface, and
a plugin for global key shortcuts. It is also very convenient if you are
running kde, because it works through the normal kde sound server (which xmms
can do too, iirc, but it requires a plugin).
I also personally like
Try using /dev/gpmdata as your mouse device. This will cause X to get its
mouse input from gpm, and since gpm seems to be working this may solve your
problem. There may also be good reasons not to do this... I'm not sure.
Oh, another thing -- if it's a PS/2 mouse, under redhat it would be

You might want to check out linuxnewbie.org. It has a lot of newbie-oriented
howtos. It's not as fine granularity as manpages, but will help with a lot of
basic tasks, and has some great forums.
I would also suggest the book "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly. This is

How do I add a user to a group?
I want to give my user account access to cdrom, audio, etc without doing
chmod a+rw on the relevant files.

Does your sources.list include non-us? The crypto stuff (including libssl) is

So, you may need to add a line like this:

Debian unstable should be able to give you all of the end results you are
looking for. However, you also want to get these things easily -- ie, good
hardware detection, ReiserFS by default during the install, etc. This you
probably won't be able to do. I was recently in a similar situation to yo

recently reinstalled after a drive failure, and now it's not working. I have

If you run 'mount' with no arguments, it tells what type each partition is
mounted at.
You can also do 'dmesg | grep -i ext3' to show all the ext3-related messages
from startup, although it doesn't mention the device names of the partitions
it's mounting.

apt-get install will upgrade if there is a newer version
available.
So point your sources.list to unstable, then "apt get update && apt-get

I am running debian unstable. I just dist-upgraded tonight, and all of a

and I end up back at the KDM login.

Hi,
I'm running debian unstable, and all of a sudden I can't compile a kernel.
The actual compilation seems to go ok (and leaves a vmlinux in the root of
the kernel source tree), but when trynig to make a zImage or bzImage I get

I'm running debian unstable and I've been having two minor problems for a

1) When I logout of KDE, instead of bringing me back to KDM, it immediately

of kdm's auto-login stuff.
2) Kdm doesn't show boot options f
Is there a way to compile with different options, CFLAGS, etc, when using

Can I specify a default CFLAGS to use?
