Multiple Mixers - selecting primary one
It took me nine months to sort out what was configured wrong, but I finally sorted out how to get my TV tuner card (a none-too-fancy Hauppage low-end model) to work on my system, and it is quite nice... But not fully nice. Bt878 shows up as the primary mixer, while my Creative SBLive is the second mixer. This means that I haven't been able to send any system sounds or run RealPlayer, as apparently all default sound drivers are now identified with the primary mixer, and I'm having no luck finding the right documentation to either redirect Gnome sounds and RealPlayer to another dsp (dsp2 and dsp3 are available), or swap the priorities of mixers (the tv viewers can be configured to any dsp.) -- Mark L.

Anybody have any ideas? Hmm. Are packages actually assigned prio 1001? What does apt-policy say?

About spamassassin
For those running spamassassin and caring about performance, there is another solution than running spamd daemon and running spamc for each email to analyse. There is a perl dameon called spampd that uses spamassassin Perl modules to do the job, and it talks SMTP. This way no process needs to be run for each mail going through the server as when using spamc/spamd or worse /usr/bin/spamassassin. spampd can be found at this address : http://www.worlddesign.com/index.cfm/rd/mta/spampd.htm I have loaded it a bit for testing, and it did fairly well (100 small mails went through in 20 seconds, 100 mails of 1.5kB each went through in 46 seconds, on a PII 233 IDE 64Mb system).

Re: 2.4.18 doesn't find my root device.
Well it seems that supporting IDE devices isn't the default at 2.4.18. I had to turn them on, as Jerome suggested. Strange system. scsi emulation still doesn't work. It can't find the cdrom driver. Of course it can't you fool. I compiled it into the kernel. What a piece of trash. Thanks, Jim.

This is part of the reason png is seen as a nice format -- it has taken strengths from both jpeg and gif formats. Unfortunately, it doesn't compress as much (in tests I've done, pngs of images tend to be larger than an equivalent jpeg), and older browsers (read Netscape 4, IE 4) don't read them. (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong -- but some of my clients use older versions of each of these browsers and cannot see pngs.) --Matthew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Dselect wont show installed programs
This is my first time using dselect to install debian. I did install X and all the necesary components, but it went horrible and it didnt work, so I decided to install it by hand. When I went to dselect to unistall the software I never saw any of the X components I had installed so I could mark them for removal. Why is this the case? Also, why dint I find programs like startx and X86COnfig once i installed debian though dselect? I would appreciate your help. Thanks a lot, Roberto. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Personally i use dselect and/or dpkg manually and all is good (but i'm just a newbie :))) ). In fact dslect help u to spend less time installing..

No menus and weird field size in Openoffice
When I launch Openoffice, wether spreadsheet or word processor, the menu bar is not visible and all fields have really weird sizes (either so tiny one does not see what is in the field, or so big it takes most of the screen). Document opened with it are displayed and it responds to keyboard shortcuts, but the GUI is completely unusable. I really have no idea what to do. I would have said that GTK could be the culprit, but other GTK apps work fine. I'm puzzled. Has anyone ever seen such thing ? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

You should have a .xsession file in your user's home directory. Put whatever you want to have start with X in there - gnome-session in this case.

I only use dselect when installing the system for the very first time. I say no to run tasksel and then enter dselect and exit as soon as I can. This will install all basic packages you really need. After that everything is installed with apt-get. Most documentation concerning Debian mentions apt-get anyway so if you want to do foo on your system all you usually need to do is apt-get foo.

I noticed that to on my system. After some investigation I didn't bother changing things. I can't quite remember, but isn't the message an indication of the speed between the pci-controller and the ide-controller? As far as I know this doesn't involve the speed between ide-controller and your disk.

If you are using bash, take a look at the user's ~/.bashrc or the system
wide /etc/profile. In either of these locations you should be able to set
something like the following:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
Which should set the title of the terminal window to the user@hostname:

I think the KDE term supports profiles, and so does the new GNOME-terminal (2.0.x, currently in unstable). The idea being you can set up a profile for really.important.host that has colors and background associated with it, and can (I think) initiate an ssh session when opened. If you don't want that, I think Eterm supports reading different conffiles (or more, properly, themes, with the -t option), and you can set up a couple of configurations depending on which host you're sshing into.

If anybody has any > suggestions about how to stop this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, The file /tmp/vi.7faEP4 does not exist. It is telling you that you will be able to recover that file. After recovery the file will exist. Not before. You can list files that are available for recover with 'vi -r'. At boot time or perhaps by cron this is being mailed to users. Even if you don't want to recover the file to end the message you should do so. You can delete the file after you have vi running on the recovered file. But that will move it out of the preserve area and back into user space where you own the file again. The vi program keeps spill files in /tmp. When the system crashes it and recovers it will save those files to /var/preserve or /var/spool/preserve or /var/tmp/vi.recover or some such location. You have that and if you look you will find a file there. Most systems will put a tmp cleaner on that directory and will delete files which are older than a week or so. If the user has not recovered the file in a week after a system crash then they don't care and you should clean up the crash file. Some vi programs keep them in /var/tmp/vi.recover so that they are naturally cleaned by the system tmp cleaners. You are running one of those, aren't you? Let me be critical. But this is meant to be constructive. This is clearly a case where RTFM would solved your problem. Let's look at 'man vi' -r Recover the specified files, or, if no files are specified, list the files that could be recovered. If no recoverable files by the specified name exist, the file is edited as if the -r option had not been specified. Just do the command it is suggested. It looks from your mail that you never tried that. You are root on the machine so you can become them if you want to try this yourself instead of waiting for them to do it. su root# become root su - user # become the user vi -r /tmp/vi.7faEP4 # run the command as the user If after running that command as that user if it fails to recover the file then you certainly have probably found a problem.

The '.' is deprecated in favor of the ':' and so this is preferably: chown -R pierre:music /music/mp3 The ':' is not a valid user or group name character and therefore will work even if the name has a dot in it.

The person I spoke on on IRC found that he could get it to work by removing fonts from the font path until it started, then changing the user interface font a la README.gz.

I did this once, then panicked and halted the process when I heard
a lot of disk activity. The problem is (I think) that the wildcard
matches the .. file and the process recurses back into the parent
directory, etc.
I'd recommend using find for this sort of thing, as it allows you to
select files and directories with a lot of flexibility, view them
before doing anything, then do the job a file at a time.
$ find /music/mp3 # ... view & check the list of files
$ find /music/mp3 -exec echo chown -R pierre {} \; # ... check commands
$ find /music/mp3 -exec chown -R pierre {} \; # ... do it
This is probably a lot slower than using recurse options in commands,
but I feel it can be safer.

You can see what chown is doing by adding the -v flag, and: [cjwatson@riva ~/tmp]$ sudo chown -v -R www-data svn-dump.* changed ownership of `svn-dump.142' to www-data changed ownership of `svn-dump.149' to www-data There's other stuff under there, so I don't understand why -R on a file could be bad. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I can't reproduce it here. Sound quite like my "No menus and weird field size" problem. If you could elaborate on the steps required to identify the problem font, I would post it to the lists. It may just be a coincidence, but I have observer weird font behavior on my system lately, with the Microsoft TTF fonts no longer being available although I tried reinstalling the msttcorefonts package. In the "pick a font" dialog in Gnome, many fonts are marked as "the selected font is not available".
