Changing default font
Hi there: Two pretty simple questions: 1. What is the directory, in which I shall copy a font, if I want that font to be accessable by all users? It's a Unicode TTF font. 2. In what config file does KDE saves the default fonts? I mean, I am looking for a config file, which tells KDE the default font. PS: I know both of these can be done by KDE Control Center, but I can't use it, and I must change the font by editing a config file.

Ahhh! Now that bulb appears over my Head :-) There were two Changes in Alsa which affected what i told you in my private Post: 1) Old Versions of ALSA had multiple drivers for VT82xx, one for every single Chipsets. Latest Versions have these Drivers merged into vt82xx. (as i told you already :) 2) Old Versions of ALSA use snd- as Module Name, later Versions omit the leading snd- The Difference between your Installation and mine is, that you use precompiled Modules and i compiled my Alsa Modules myself, that might be a bit confusing sometimes. Sorry, forgot about that, but just remembered i read it somewhen. So, what means initial success? Does it work now or doesnt it?

problems with DMA
Hi fellows!
Since I installed a secondary UDMA drive (hdd) as a slave of another UDMA drive
(hdc) on an old (that doesn't support UDMA) P75, at boot time I get the error below .
If the same drive (hdd) is slave of a not-UDMA HD and the other (hdc) is the
standalone master of its own channel (or is not installed), all is working fine.
Someone
knows why this happens?
There's a way to disable DMA in the kernel (without recompiling), so I can avoid this
annoying message (and the waste of time), or to have DMA working? (using a rc*.d
script with hdparm parameters doesn't work, because partition check comes first)
Many many thanks to all who will help.

Problem: 'bad interpreter: Permission denied'
Hi all, I have a small problem and was hoping that someone else out there has experienced and resolved it for themselves at some stage in the past. Basically, whenever I attempt to execute a script it dies with the 'bad interpreter: Permission denied' catch-cry. So far this is sh and perl files i.e. files beginning with "#!/bin/sh" or "#!/usr/bin/perl". Ok, I know what your thinking, the x bit hasn't been set on either /bin/sh and /usr/bin/perl OR on the script files themselves. Well they have.

Yes, I know that as well. You're right, though. My problem was that
I misunderstood another concept: if the character class begins with
a caret "^", then it means "except", so I thought that grouping
things would still apply. Unfortunately, it doesn't. I'll have to

That's no the problem. I don't have an automounter running, and I don't have the automounting kernel support compiled in. I took out devfs, and I have the same problem. For completeness, it bounces only music CDs, not DVDs, not ISOs, not CD-R blanks. But it's "worse" than I thought, it's a hardware issue. Because when I boot into Mac OS X, the same thing happens.

gnome 2 fonts, X fonts, and defoma
I want gnome-terminal to use a 10x15 or 10x16 pixel font. I found an X font that is 9x15, but I can't find it in Gnome's font menu. I think gnome uses pango, do I need to configure defoma to tell pango about the X fonts? How else might I accomplish my goal? Please reply via email as I do not subscribe to this list.

No. Yet, the same message ("Clock skew detected.
Your build may be incomplete") had happened in another
machine (PentiumIII 550Mhz, Asus p299 motherboard).
Maybe be some problem of the 2.4.18 kernel, I think...
I had got another problem, but this don´t let the
compile get finish, saying about support to smp, but
since are machines mono-processor, I have disabled
support to it (SMP) - what give the follw error when
%make bzImage :
nro_smp_processor not defined
If I enable the support to SMP, the compilation of
kernel goes normally, but some drivers don´t work with
it.
This have been a problem for some time to me...

Random lockups using woody/sid (cron related?)
Greetings, I've been having a strange problem with a machine running a combination of woody and sid (mostly woody with some sid packages). Every morning, around 06:00, the machine locks. X locks, I can't get a console with control-alt-f1, I can't ssh in. I *can* ping the machine in question. Since this seems to be a periodic event, I suspected the daily cron jobs. I ran each job individually, and was not able to duplicate the problem. I have 5 other machines with identical hardware running the same kernel image on woody that don't exhibit the problem. Is anyone else having these period lockups (usually once per day). My next step is to downgrade the problem machine to woody and see what happens. Details: SuperMicro Dual P4 Xeon 2.4 Ghz, 1GB RAM, 18GB SCSI drives. 2.4.19 openMosix kernel.

I've searched for this answer for awhile and have yet to find the
solution. In the mean time, I view the message parts ('v'), and tag
each part and attachement I want to forward ('t'), press ';' to affect
all the tagged parts, and finally initiate forwarding the mail ('f').
It's a work-around for a nicely automated process that I have yet to
find, but it works.

I have used ac kernels for the longest time because my radeon work better with them. You might try getting the latest ac kernel or a 2.4.20-rcX-acY kernel. The later being the best as I have had some problems with 2.4.20-ac1 freezing up when trying to use 3-D apps. My last known-good kernel was 2.4.20-pre8-ac3.

I'd like to keep the system reasonably stable, so I'm a little leery of putting an alpha or pre-release kernel on it. In fact, the reason I'm using a Radeon is that I figured it was old enough that there ought to be solid support for it in X and the kernel. I think it cost me all of $40, and it's causing an annoying screen flicker, so I wouldn't be heartbroken switching to something else.

Use "pinning". You'll want to make an /etc/apt/apt.conf file that
looks something like this:
APT {
Default-Release "testing";
};
(Be sure to replace "testing" with whicever branch you want to
follow.) Then a/etc/apt/preferences file that looks like:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 40
This will give all of the unstable packages a really low priority so
that they will never be installed automatically, only by specific
request from the command line.

If it doesn't work, you'll > know. Having been in a similar position when I first started messing around with Debian, I'll try and give you the "straight" answer about Red Hat stuff. First off, Colin is right about the kernel modules. There's no harm in trying, but don't expect them to work. What I'll try to cover is the right way to go about things like this. Most of the programs you find floating around on the net for linux are usually released in two forms, RPMs and source. Your first instinct then, coming from either a Windows or Mac or even Red Hat or Mandrake background is to download the easiest form of the package and use it. So you download the RPM and use it. And maybe you find out about the "alien" command in Debian that can convert RPMs to DEBs. And that works. But that's the wrong way of going about it. Debian has the incredibly useful and powerful apt system. If you want to find a package, you just type "apt-cache search searchwords", where searchwords are what you want to find, and it shows you matching package names. When you find the packages you want, it's just a matter of "apt-get install packagename". Sometimes, however, there doesn't yet exist a Debian package for a program you want. In that case, I always suggest building from source. Debian has a nice way of seperating compiled from source packages from the rest of the system. They all go into /usr/local/* as opposed to /usr/* or even /*. This way it's relatively easy to get rid of them cleanly in the future. Also, most Makefiles nowadays have an "uninstall" target, so after you compile and install a program, uninstalling it can be done from the same source tree. Finally, to get to the point of the kernel modules, just as with the apt system, it's always best to check what you have before you start downloading stuff. Just about every major piece of hardware nowadays is supported directly in the kernel. If you roll your own kernel it's quite easy to select which drivers you need during compilation. If you run a Debian packaged kernel, it will come with just about every module that could possibly be compiled in the kernel. Then you can just load those modules using modprobe or modconf. If you were to download the RPM of the drivers and use that, it would most likely just place the driver in your kernel modules directory. I hope that makes sense and, more importantly, I hope the above clarifies a few things about starting out with Debian. It's always good to catch bad habits such as using alien before they start. :) Good luck and welcome to Debian. :) -Alex signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Gnome (1.4) problem with panel
Hi all! I have the following problem: after updating from Woody r0 to Woody r1 for some reason lots of panels try to start. That gives altogether 5 question pop-ups asking if I want to start a new panel instead of the crashed one. If I close these question windows with answering them by "No" new windows ar popping up with the same question. So the number of the question windows is permanently 5. I don't know what the problem may be, but I think that some of the configuration files got wrong during the update, because on another machine with the same system this problem doesn't occur. Here's the part of the syslog showing the starting of the gnome session at startup or at X or gdm restart (I am using kernel 2.4.19, and Ximian Gnome 1.4 for Potato): Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1602]: starting Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1602]: name server starting Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1603]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x80557f8 Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1604]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055898 Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1605]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055938 Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1606]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x80559d8 Jan 8 21:47:32 pagony gnome-name-server[1607]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055aa8 when closing a question window a new starts up and this generates a new row in the syslog like this one: Jan 8 21:47:34 pagony gnome-name-server[1614]: server_is_alive: cnx[IDL:GNOME/Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055ea0 Next question: what does the following sequence in the syslog mean (pagony is the name of the machine of course: Jan 8 21:45:32 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea120 Jan 8 21:45:32 pagony kernel: memory : Jan 8 21:45:32 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea360 Jan 8 21:46:36 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea560 Jan 8 21:46:36 pagony kernel: memory : Jan 8 21:46:36 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea260 Jan 8 21:47:06 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea120 Jan 8 21:47:06 pagony kernel: memory : Jan 8 21:47:06 pagony kernel: memory : c79ea360 It would be important to solve these problems, because it would help migrating from RedmondOS after a few years Thanks, David --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: column position in flex
Attila Csosz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

I don't see any obvious way to, which seems a little surprising. You
might try redefining the YY_USER_ACTION macro, though (see
(flex)Miscellaneous in the Info docs):
%{
int line = 0;
int frcol = 0;
int tocol = 0;
#define YY_USER_ACTION { frcol = tocol; tocol += yyleng; }
%}
%%
\n line++; frcol = tocol = 0;
(%option yylineno will keep track of the line number for you, see
(flex)Options, but there's not an equivalent column number option that
I see. Since you need a rule for \n anyways, you might as well track
the line number by hand.)

mutt problems after recent sid upgrade
After upgrading two machines (first one Saturday, and second one yesterday), mutt no longer works. When started on the console it segmentation faults, and when started in a gnome-terminal it seems to try to grab more memory until it is killed. mutt itself wasn't upgraded - it remained at version 1.4.0-5 during the upgrade. I've tried several easy things - remove and reinstall, build the deb package myself and install that - but the upgraded systems won't run mutt. Evolution and elm seem to work ok, but I'd rather use mutt.
