Kernel 2.6 printing problems
I've tried both magicfilter and apsfilter for printing in kernel 2.6. Both will only print plain text; the filters don't work on html or jpeg files, for example. Magicfilter is fine in kernel 2.4. In the log file I get: /etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter: Interrupted system call The best solution I've found is to convert such files to ps form and then print them, but this defeats the idea of an automatic filter. Searching on google hasn't produced anything useful. Has anyone had better luck with this?

I think you understood that I wasn't in any way trying to tell you what to do -- more reflecting how much fun it has been for me. I'm the last one to tell anyone to have children, as I think the world is over-populated already. I also strongly advocate selfishness -- you only get one bite at this cherry, and each of us should feel free to live their life just how they want (as long as it doesn't hurt others). Vive la difference! And that expression, for me, has always been applied to diversity rather than to any chauvinist ideas, as I occasionally hear it used by some surviving dodos. I was brought up to expect the same from any race or gender, and I have always tried to live by the egalitarian principles I inherited from my parents. To be fair to Steve, he may have lived in a less enlightened milieu, surrounded by the dodos and their bigotry, and feel the need to burn a few bras on behalf of the oppressed. Not that I am accusing him of being patronizing.

Its pretty annonying. Are you sure you haven't set KDE to do single clicks? In fact, I always have the opposite complaint that gnomish apps always want double clicks, so I click once (my preferred setting), wait for it open and nothing happens. Just like on other people's windoze boxes (to be fair, even 'doze had this configurable last time I looked - a while ago now).

These quick tests might give you a clue as to where the problem lies. Good idea; I tried a few additional things here. I'm starting X with startx. Test 1: On your recommendation, I tested this as root user without any window manager. I removed the X related . files from /root; there are no GTK+ or X app related . files in its home. To test without a window manager as root, I put the following in /root/.xinitrc: xterm -geometry 80x60+600+0 & mozilla-firefox I then started X as root, executed a suspend-to-disk, and then resumed. The rendering errors still exist in mozilla-firefox. Test 2: Start X as my normal user. Start mozilla-thunderbird. Execute suspend-to-disk. Resume. Then, I kill X and restart it. GTK+ applications render correctly again. So, while simply restarting the application does not solve the issue, reboot also is not necessary. I suppose this means it is something stored in the X server. I don't know much about this, but as I recall hearing, widget components are stored in the X server as "pixmaps". I assume this would include things that are missing such as scrollbar "up" and "down" arrow faces. And yet icons in the application still display. Also, how would this explain the lack of borders (which I assume are just drawn as primitives)? This is really beyond me. Perhaps this is a genuine bug? I no one has any ideas, I'll try cross-posting this on debian-laptop.

Missing Modules for lm_sensors, where do they come from?
Hi, I am currently trying to get lm_sensors installed. Sensors-detect seemed to go OK. In fact all seems to be going OK until the IT87 modules should be loaded. There I get "module not found". And sure enough the module is not there. Reading much of the lm_sensors stuff did not tell me where the module should come from, especially where the correct one for my machine etc should come from. I was installing the lm-sensors 2.8.6-11 package for Debian. Looking in that package file I saw no obvious modules in there. So could someone please point me to where the module should normally come from, and also where it would normally be placed too?

Best UPS for Linux?
I must replace my Belkin UPS which was damaged by a power surge. I have been happy enough with it and the Bulldogdry software for linux. Its internal software got fried when we were hit by a lightning indiced [pwer surge but the computer behind it was uscathed. I ask the question, "What is the best UPS for Linux." only because in response to a recent posting someone asked why I didn't buy a UPS from a manufacturer which explicitly supported Linux. I checked five different manufacturers at CompUSA and ran several google searches. Every UPS I found, Belkin included, explicitly supported only Microsoft and MacIntosh. Belkin, I know, does include shutdown software for Linux although there is nothing to this effect on the box. Based on my experience I will stick with Belkin unless someone can point me to a manufacturer with the courage to put "Supports Linux" on the outside of their boxes.

Hi folks, after not noticing for months, I've finally beocme aware of the major behind-the-scenes feuding btwn xfree86 & x.org. From browsing the debian-x lists, I see that xfree86 will likely no longer be supported by debian after the current release. this led me to two questions: 1) is this going to affect debian users much? That is, will we be able to effortlessly upgrade to x.org packages in the future and simply leave xfree86 behind? Or will this become rather more complicated? 2) Does this stimulate any interest in or increase the possibility of acceptance of the various "successor" projects to x -- like Y windows, and I think I've seen others elsewhere (fresco?) which aim to redesign the desktop from the gorund up?

Did you try Googling? What did you find? Or how about the archives
of this mailing list? This has been discussed here many times.
Briefly: the lm-sensors packages, as the package description says,
contains *utilities* for reading the sensors. It doesn't contain
the actual kernel modules necessary. For that, you're going to need
to download either one of the module packages ("lm-sensors-kernelversion")
if you're running a stock Debian kernel, or build your own from
the package lm-sensors-source if you've got a custom kernel. You'll
also need i2c modules ("i2c-kernelversion" or "i2c-source") as well.

Mozilla makes KWM switch desktops
Hi list,
I've googled a bit, but nothing seems to hit. Maybe I'm not using the
right words ("please" is obviously not the magic word here).
I start loading a page in Mozilla (like with the middle mouse button),
switch desktops to do something else while it loads, and KDE switches
back to Mozilla's desktop when Mozilla updates the page without me
doing anything.
This is, obviously, *very* annoying.
I have, at this point, no idea who's the culprit.
Oh, versions: KDE 3.2.2, mozilla 1.6-6 (1.6-7 upgrade in the q).
Anyone have any hints as to which part I have to tell what to make it
stop behaving like that?

Have you tried just removing and reinstalling the modules, e.g. modprobe and modprobe -r? dircha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You say you already have a working configuration on an R5400. How it

Which I think means the bcm5700 driver. I am using that driver fine
on my machines. But I have also upgraded most of them to newer
kernels with the tg3 driver. You might try upgrading your kernel to
the latest linux-2.4.26 and using the tg3 driver.

If it is configured as a module as shown above then there should be a file for it. Can you check the .deb file (which should still be hanging around in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory) to see if that file exists in the .deb? The easiest way to do that is to 'eval $(lesspipe)' and then run 'less' on the deb and let less show you the contents.

Thus, any entries in there -- quite a few in the case of a programmer -- are never read. I think this is because KDM never spawns a login shell, and Konsole doesn't either. Could this please be fixed? There are a lot of reasons why kdmsession or the like should be started as a child of a proper login shell. The implementation for different users with bash, csh, zsh, ksh, some other weird shell, is probably not impossible but I can't think of a way to handle it cleanly. This is an upstream FAQ: http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/configure.html#id2913380 Summary: 9.7. KDE (kdm) does not read my .bash_profile! The login managersxdm and kdm do not run a login shell, so .profile, .bash_profile, etc. are not sourced. When the user logs in, xdm runs Xstartup as root and then Xsession as user. So the normal practice is to add statements in Xsession to source the user profile. Please edit your Xsession and .xsession files. They purposefully avoid reading the user's environment. When you select KDE you select *only* KDE and nothing else but KDE. I imagine it is just too difficult to guess the user's login shell and get the syntax right for all of the possibilities so they avoid it entirely. But I am not a KDE developer and do not know the actual reasons. Use a .xsession file with the #! line using your login shell and passing in whatever options your shell uses to make it a login shell. That will read your login environment. Here is one example for a bash shell as the login shell. #!/bin/bash --login exec x-session-manager # or startkde or fvwm or whatever Make sure it is executable or it will have no effect. chmod a+x $HOME/.xsession Then when you log in with kdm/gdm/xdm make sure you select "default" and not specifically KDE since selecting KDE avoids reading your environment files.

It says it could not find a pNp pci device and complained that it couldn't find the snd module.

Check if there is an alias that would cause the module to load in /lib/modules/modprobe.conf. If so, you should be able to remove the alias from one of the files in /etc/modprobe.d and then rebuild the modprobe.conf by running update-modules.

Your scenario would seem to be one of the following two, although I'm not quite sure which, and I don't quite understand why you would need to use this ISObuster utility (which I've never heard of, actually, but just looked it up). a) You now have a CD with a regular, Windows-readable filesystem, that contains a file named [name].iso. b) You now have a CD which does not have a Windows-readable filesystem, but rather an image written from a .iso. If (a), then you already have the .iso file. You don't need to re-download anything, you just need to write it to a CD as an image rather than as a file in a filesystem. (Perhaps you meant "write again"?) If (b), then, assuming you have downloaded a Debian installation image, and the image file is not corrupted, you should be all set to install Debian. If your computer supports booting from CD (BIOS setting), configure your BIOS to boot from the CD drive, insert the CD, and you can begin the installation. Did I understand your meaning? Feel free to ask here for any installation questions, and someone will be glad to answer your question or direct you to the proper resource. dircha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

kernel and kdm problems
Hi folks, I have not been able to communicate for the last half month because my volume-based subscription had reached it's limit (crazily downloading after I got the modem to work). In additon to the ADSL modem, I have now got my Genius wizardpen tablet working as well, not fully though, it cannot simulate a mouse double-click. In the process of setting these up, I have also introduced some problems. Problem 1 In working on the tablet, I have to download the xfree86 source files and compile them, no problem here. This is all that is required for the tablet. But since I have the 4.3.1 source and I am currently using 4.1.1, I decided to do an upgrade. I do a 'make install'. This failed. After this, I could not boot up to kdm. The kdm.log indicated a "relocation error". a. How to deal with the error? b. Can I upgrade to xfree4.3.1 with the downloaded source files? Problem2 'make menuconfig' failed with the msg: 'scripts/lxdialog/dialog.h:29: curses.h: no such file or directory' I remember installing a libNcurses5 package which replaced a libcurses package. I think the two are mutually exclusive. Any suggestion? Cheers Do you Yahoo!?Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger

Boost signals and QT
Hi, I use boost signals and QT at the same time. The problem is that the keyword 'signal' clashes (a known problem). Although this is a problem with Qt and not Boost.Signals, a user can use the two systems together by defining the BOOST_SIGNALS_NAMESPACE macro to some other identifier (e.g., signalslib) when building and using the Boost.Signals library. I have managed to do this (a while ago) when compiling boost myself, but now i want to use debian's boost. I notice that theres no binary boost-signals lib that redefines the namespace as (eg) signalslib. I assume I now have to do an apt-get source boost, hack something somewhere and compile the package myself? Whats the best way to do this? And why isn't this automated in the typical debian style?

Integrate DRI Mach-64 into 2.6.* kernels?
Some have managed to compile and get this working. I have not. Even so, one would need to redo this for any kernel upgrade and there is no guaranty it would work this time around. Maybe it is time to integrate this module into the stock kernel packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can I install non debian source packages?
Dear Debian Users, (I am sure that this must be a FAQ, but I couldn't spot any FAQ for this one.) If I want to install a package with a version number later than what exists as a Debian package (I had in mind Zope and Plone), is there any reason that I should not do so? ... as long as I am prepared to set up the environment, configure it, build it, and also install whatever other packages on which the package depends?
