Theme's (gnome) terribly wrong
I recently installed a clean gnome (unstable) on my knoppix 3.6 hdinstall,and the result is just terrible. I selected the gnome simple theme, but somehow this does not change the dropdown lists, menu, etc. See also the screenshot at: https://b-fly.homeip.net/images/Screenshot.png It looks like the gnome windows are a mixture of the gnome simple theme and the kde theme. When running KDE, all gnome programs look how they are supposed to look. Removing all files in ~/. does not help, neither does changing the gnome or kde theme. Anybody an idea what's wrong?

Apache2 problem with Include statements in apache2.conf
Hello, Since yesterday I restarted apache2 and since then it didn't start anymore: iserver:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 start Starting web server: Apache2apache2: could not open document config file /etc/apache2/conf.d/\x88A\x0f\b\x90`\v\b\x01 I am currently running testing, but I got the same error when reinstalling apache2 from unstable (this error actually prevents apache2 from installing). I found some pages on the internet complaining about the error "could not open document config file", but none were very helpful. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? It seems to be related to "Include" statements in apache2.conf. As far as I know apache2 did not update in the last week or so I doubt whether the error is related to apache2 at all. Anybody any ideas?

Re: Problem with apache installation..!
Based on the version number of apache2 I expect you are using testing? I had the same problem a few days ago when installing apache2. I did get it installed in the end. I do not know exactly anymore what I did to get it to install. I believe that I manually unpacked apache2-common with dpkg to get the needed configuration files. After this it still didn't work. I had to edit apache2.conf (see posting of me a few days ago) to correct some Include statements. But perhaps it is already corrected by now, because I believe apache2 was updated today (in testing at least).

Since MySQL uses the mysql user, that is probably the cause. r...@warthog:/# su user1 Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied r...@warthog:/# ls /bin/bash -alF -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 725100 2009-03-01 10:31 /bin/bash* So probably there is some authentification issue somewhere.

Evolution Contacts crashing or how to remove Evo configuration
The Contact part of Evolution is giving me some problems. Since I removed all contacts from my addressbook, Evolution crashes when I try to add or import a new contact. Any idea how to fix this? One way to fix it, is of course to reinstall/reconfigure Evolution. This is however not as easy as I thought. I purged Evolution and the evolution-data-server and removed the ~/.evolution directory. But when I reinstall Evolution, it still knows my configuration. Where are the user configuration files of Evolution stored? I am using Debian Unstable.

Copying directory containing internal hard links to other partition
I want to move a directory containing my backups (created by faubackup) to another directory on a different partition. The problem is that the backup directory contains a lot of hard links (to files inside the same backup directory). Simply copying the directory with 'cp -R' replaces the hard linked files with duplicates of the file. 'tar -cf' does also seem to increase the size of the directory. Any idea's how to move the directory and remain the hard links? Additional info: source partition is reiserfs3, destination is ext3. Destination directory already contains files.
