konqueror or webkit problem
Dear developers, since some time I got a little problem with konqueror. Pleas allow me to describe: I am using debian/testing with kde and koqueror. When I call websites with pictures on it, konqueror is starting "libreoffice %U" whenever I call a new website. I am using "webkit" in koqueror. When I change back to KHTML, the error is gone. Sadly I cannot use KHTML, as some special sites i am using, are not running well with KHTML (for example www.xing.com). Thus I would like to stay at webkit. You should also know, that this behaviour appears in iceweasel as well, but only when iceweasel is going to be closed - and very seldom, too. So, as I cannot clearly recognize, which package is responsible for that behaviour, I would like to ask, if you heard about this somewhere else. This behaviour can be reproduced very well, and it appears on my amd64 machine as well on my 32-bit EEEPC. First I thought, it might be a problem with flash, but this behaviour appears aslo on my own website, where is no flash content, but a picture on it. Strangely, on other sites like debian.org or blog.fefe.com, this behavior never appeared. IMO I would claim the problem to webkit, but I do not know, if webkit is sending wrong commands to konqueror, or if konqueror is misunderstanding the correct commands of webkit engine. If you need, there is a strace file available while the error appeared, which I will likely send to you. Sorry, I cannot define the problem more specific, but these are the things I can clearly see. Please feel free to ask for more information, I will be happy to send them to you. Thank you very much!

The proxy one needs to go through to access the Internet from inside my University buildings cuts off SMTP. I usually just let nullmailer queue the message so that it is delivered as soon as I connect from home. When I need to send out a mail immediately, what I do (and this totally belongs to the “crazy things” section) is to ssh into my exim–running VPS, grab the formatted mail message from the nullmailer queue and use the remote sendmail instance to actually send it.

The versions after 1.4 were where backwards-incompatible changes started showing up. As a very unscientific census using google code search, there are about 36,800 Makefile.in's generated by automake 1.4 on the web, versus 113,000 generated by automake 1.6 and later. Now clearly we don't need automake 1.4 for Debian's sake, but some users might still be interested in it for some people to compile old pieces of software.

Bug#601455: general: can't stop daemon using /etc/init.d/foo stop when disabled via /etc/default/foo
tags 601455 - patch retitle 601455 multiple, annoyingly different ways to disable an init script quit Hi Mathias, Mathias Kub wrote: > When I try to stop a daemon after I disabled it in /etc/default/foo, > I get an error-message that I can not stop it, because it is > disabled. > > Shouldn't I be able to stop it even if I disabled it first? Yes, I agree that this is a bug. Nowadays the appropriate way to disable an init script is to remove the 'S' links without removing the 'K' links, for example by running update-rc.d foo disable Unfortunately: 1. That is not as well known is it ought to be. For example, section 4.6.3. "Restricting access to some server services"[1] of debian-reference could be clarified to emphasize this method. 2. Many packages seem to provide ENABLE/DISABLE variables in /etc/default/foo, providing a confusing red herring for this task --- a second method which does not work nearly as well, as you pointed out. 3. The tempting "update-rc.d foo remove" (which removes the 'K' links, too) might _seem_ to work, except that the next time the foo package is upgraded, the service is back again. One possible way to move forward would be to write a patch to the debian reference and any other pertinent documentation to address (1) and (3) and (once consensus that this is a good idea is reached) to file bugs requesting removal of the ENABLE/DISABLE vars to address (2), blocking this bug by them. When the last such variable is eliminated from the default conffiles in /etc/default, this bug could be closed. A complicating factor is that the sysadmin may already have customized some ENABLE/DISABLE settings and a move like this should not override their settings. So perhaps packages should stop advertising the ENABLE/DISABLE vars in /etc/default/, but continue to respect them when set. Sane?

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this message is talking about, this may indicate a serious mail system misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact ow...@bugs.debian.org immediately.) -- 618257: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618257 Debian Bug Tracking System Contact ow...@bugs.debian.org with problems --- Begin Message --- Package: general Severity: wishlist Excuse me for my bad English :-) At this time Debian 6 has no official manual - single, full, for exact release. It has many documentation, but current situation has next problems. 1. Information is separated onto many documents. General themes like networking is covered by many documents. But this documents: a) is not full; b) often describes same questions. Result: user must make search in many documents to find solution of some problem. User will lost many time. 2. Documentation is often written for "Debian in general", not for exact Debian release. Result: user can read not actual information and he/she will not know about it some time. This time period will be lost time. I will give a concrete example now. Example 1. Problem: Windows can ping other Windows by name. Debian with default LXDE installation cannot ping Windows by name. What should user (not very experienced in Debian) to do to enable "ping Windows by name" feature? Path to solution. After filtering more than 20 links at http://www.debian.org/doc we have at least 4 documents at Debian web site that can contain answer: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ no such chapter, no answer, lost time http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ section "5.1.2. The hostname resolution" has no answer, lost time http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ no such chapter, no answer, lost time http://wiki.debian.org Debian wiki gives many links: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReference/Network Citate: "The new "Debian Reference (v2)" is no more build from wiki. Source will be available in DDP SVN". Cool, what user should do with this? No answer, lost time. http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration no such chapter, no answer, lost time. http://wiki.debian.org/netconf no such chapter, no answer, lost time http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager Debian can work without it. No answer, lost time. http://wiki.debian.org/SAMBAClientSetup no such chapter, no answer, lost time Result: no answer, lost many time. Documentation at Debian's website has no description of "ping Windows by name" feature. Please note that: 1) this feature is supported by Debian 6. So it is strange that it is not documented; 2) this is thing that should just work. So it must not eat many user's time. You can say that user is stupid and he/she just should make better search (like people can do at many forums). But I hope that you will not controvert that Debian's documentation can eat many user's time in situations where good operating system's documentation must not eat many user's time. You can analize many other user's problems: - how to set up fast VNC server (what programs or X plugins available, their advantages and disadvantages, how to configure firewall for VNC, will VNC server work without monitor or not, how to set VNC server resolution if computer has no monitor etc)? - how to define primary audio device in ALSA? - why video playing is very slow with modern videocard and default X settings (without xorg.conf)? I am sure that all this problems have not good solutions in current documentation on Debian's website. I suggest to make big and great official manual for all next Debian releases. This manual should cover all possible aspects of using Debian - at least as operating system. Applications and games can be documented later :-) It may seem that this is impossible because Debian is very big. But good operating system must have good manual! This is not impossible. The way to start creating full manual can be the following. 1. Create empty Single Debian Manual based on Wiki conception, so each useror developer will be able to participate in it. I know that Debian has wiki already, but now this wiki does not have task to make full Debian manual. 2. I hope that author of each package should write list of tasks that his/her package solves. This list should be inserted into single Debian manual. List should contain the link to package documentation. Steps 1 and 2 are not impossible
