Debian emacs21: can't bind umlaut keys

2007-07-08 Thread Peter Daum
t above will redefine the "ä" key as expected. Since I am planning to use Debian on lots of machines, I would strongly prefer if there was some workaround for the emacs21 debian package instead of using a self-made emacs on all machines. Unfortunately, I can't figure out, which mo

This problem makes Emacs very difficult to use without remapping the keyboard. ? Emacs shouldn't care about which Alt key you use Regards, Peter Daum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

apt-proxy: can't use more than 1 backend

2008-07-25 Thread Peter Daum
I am trying to get apt-proxy to work on a test machine running lenny. Because hardly anything worked as expected, I stripped the configuration down more and more.but it seems that nothing involving more than 1 backend works. Here the scenario: server(lenny) has the following apt-proxy backends:

certainly not the most critical problem, but at least on my system (mainly Etch, I also tried the fortune package from Lenny) doesn't work. when I trace it, I can see that it reads a bunch of fortue data files but that is obviously just for its own pleasure - it just silently exits w/o any error.

Howto exactly reproduce kernel source tree compatible with binary kernel deb

2009-06-30 Thread Peter Daum
Hi, For a long time, I always used traditional "hand-made" kernels, so whenever I needed it (compiling modules from external sources, changing something in the kernel, ...), I naturally had the source tree and configuration matching the currently running kernel lying under "/usr/src/linux". Recen

Re: Howto exactly reproduce kernel source tree compatible with binary kernel deb

2009-07-07 Thread Peter Daum
as I meanwhile could figure out, compiling "linux-source-xxx" failed because of a mismatch in the gcc versions (gcc 4.3 is installed as the default C compiler, but the binary kernel packages have been compiled using gcc 4.1). I still would like to know, what is the "recommended" way to use the ker
