Not sure if the above fixed it or if it was fixed by the maintainer of the package. It took a hour a day for a few days for me to figure this out. At first I tried aptitude with a minus on the k3b line but aptitude seemed to try to fix broken package first before deleting k3b package. If aptitude reversed the order and did deleting first, it would have worked. Not sure I needed to remove xcdroast either, but it wasn't working anyway in my system, anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Courier imap (maybe procmail too?) newbie question
I killed fetchmail and tried to kill uw-imap then: I did an apt-get mb2md and converted /var/mail/USER to ~/Maildir and also converted the directory formerly used by uw-imap. Then apt-get courier-imap and a reboot. Now I see only my Inbox folders (Inbox is the parent of all subfolders now.) I cannnot go and see most of the subfolders any more, but can see a fee subfolders. This has me stuck. I looked in google and http://www.inter7.com/courierimap.html but haven't found a suggestion yet. Also new email is stuck at /var/mail and suppose I should install procmail to move it to ~/Maildir. I already have smail (kind of like sendmail) which sends out mail. Hopefully, smail and procmail will work together and this is a good, recommend combination: fetchmail (grabs email from ISP) procmail (moves from /var/mail/user to ~/Maildir) smail (sends out email to ISPs smtp port) courier-imap Thanks for suggestions. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Cheap high resolution (1600x1200) video card for debian
Is there a cheap high resolution (1600x1200) video card for debian. My old system is running an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV installed 4 years ago. The thing I liked about it is I have a Virtual desktop of approximately 2000 x 1800 with a panning window of 1600x1200. Fonts were readable even if medium size. Does the Radeon 7000 have or the Nvdida have this capability? I would even go for a virtual desktop of 3200x2400 if the card and driver would let me without a lot of hassle. 3D is not important, but 2D and crispt text is very, very important.

The problem is that whether I go in and change /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking or I manually go in and route del default the Verizon interface and add the Comcast as the default route (using the network info they gave me, but _not_ using DHCP), networking gets severely confused (e.g. doing a route command can take 30 seconds or more, can't pass traffic, etc). Switching back to the original configuration doesn't help, either. It remains hopelessly confused until you end up having to reboot. Once you reboot, it comes up normally, with either interface as the gateway. Since this one of the interfaces is a backup, I planned to write a script to automate the switchover. If I have to reboot every time I have to switch, it defeats the purpose. This should not be normal behavior for networking, but I'm not sure where to look.

xvnc4viewer and other vnc questions?
What is the difference between these two: xvnc4viewer (1) - VNC viewer for X xvncviewer (1) - VNC viewer for X http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/xvnc4viewer >From what I have read, tightvnc is prefered. A guy who runs different version of linux recommended this as: http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/doc.html He said it was more efficient in that it uses your desktop X server that supply all the desktops your CRT and also supplies the vnc desktop without starting another x-server. x11vnc must do something similar for debian, but seemed slow. I tested it out running the client and server on the same machine. The infinite cascade of windows inside vnc windows confused me at first. What vnc are you guys using?

Netscape seems to default to Postscript(tm of Adobe), but I don't have a postscript printer
Printing from Netscape seems to default to Postscript(tm of Adobe), but I don't have a postscript printer. Is there a way to set up 2 print spools? One called hpprinter and one called hpprinter-P? Both would be the same except hpprinter-P would go thru a postscript to raster converter to emulate postscript? I have been playing around with cups and kde printer, but I am still lost in the jungle. Or can Netscape be configured to not output postscript?

Re: Getting photos from USB compactFlash into linux
I gave up on trying to get the SIIG compactflash card reader (USB) (model us2256 or maybe model 02-0739A ) to work. My buddy has this reader and he got his to work using knoppix version from spring or summer of 2003. It automounted the flash card as an icon on the desktop I think. I installed a SOYO bayone (TM) avi6.1 and it read the compact flash cards ok using the instructions you guys gave me.

XFree86 uses 75% of CPU, it takes 30 seconds to open an application
XFree86 uses 75% of CPU when opening a new Konqueror or any new application. Now I have a way I like to use KDE, 16 desktops labeled alphabetically from a to z. I know mail is on desktop "M". Konqueror with Yahoo is on desktop "Y". I start up with about 16 Konqueror windows and a netscape window and 4 consoles. Anyhow, it takes from 30 to 60 seconds to open a new konqueror window or any application. The reason is XFree86 uses 75% of CPU according to top. I have a Athlon 1700xp with a 512MB and 256MB PC133 memory with a Kaiser S305-32A video card (32MB memory on video card). Any way to get XFree86 not to hog CPU time?

aptitude deleted konqueror, any way get it back or go back to stable?

I tried using aptitude to fix the situation, but it leads me in circles. First I manually correct all the conflicts and dependendies, but it still says things are broken. If I let apitutude automatically fix everything, it removes konqueror for the pending install list, argh!

Thanks. Now I think I understand. Aptitude does not want kdelibs3 at all ( the < 4:3.0.0 is extra). I deleted kdelibs3 and things are working better. I have konqueror and it can browse the local files and web, but when it needs to render or display a web page I get: There was an error loading the module KHTML. The diagnostic is: Library files for 'libkhtmlpart.la" not found in paths. Konqueror then displays the raw html for that webpage. I'll google it and flounder around a few more days to figure that out, unless someone has a suggestion.

Also, you can press F10 to bring up the menu
and press "right cursor move" ("->") twice to highlight
OPtions and then "down cursor move" key to highlight
Miscellaneous and press spacebar on
to remove [X] before phrase:
"Automatically upgrade install Packages" .
You can then search for the broken package by
typing:
/konqueror
which would find the konqueror package.
Type "carriage return" to see the things that
it depends on or conflicts with.
Type "?" for help.
Type "+" to upgrade or '=" to hold
at the current version of a package.

Mouse highlights like clicking when I don't click in KDE file manager
Mouse highlights like clicking when I don't click in KDE file manager. So if I'm just moving my mouse without pressing any button, it highlights the last rolled over filename. This is bad in that I click on a file to delete and then roll off konqueror window to click delete. The file I clicked on is deselected and the last file I accidentally scrolled over gets deleted. It acts like my mouse button is always pressed down? I think this started when I was messing around with KDE control center, but messing around with it now, I still can't get it back to the way it was.

Will VNC run on a laptop with 32MB? What to do with OLD laptop?
Will VNC run on a laptop with 32MB? WOuld be a nice remote desktop in my living room to my bedroom linux machine or windows machine. I've got an old laptop. I was wondering what the best thing to do with it is? It has no CD and only 32MB of memory. I found X windows is swapping constantly to disk if you move a window on another machine I have. Ok to run X in emergencies, but painfully slow otherwise. Is there software to display digital photos and change it into a picture display system?

Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 on aptitude
I am getting an error from aptitude (and apt-get update):
http://security.debian.org stable/updates/man Packages {ERROR}
Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 (128.101.240.212), connection timed
out
It repeats the error twice for main, contrib, and non-free .
It waits about 5 minutes at each try.
1. I've never seen this on my other debian computer
and so it's strange to see it here. Lots of things
different between the 2 computers.
2. Is there a way to make it give up waiting in a shorter amount of
time, say 1 minute instead of 5 minutes?
Thanks in advance,
J

Mouse not working after aptitude update upgrade
I didn't update a machine for a long time, maybe a year. I know that is bad. WHen I finally updated it with aptitude, there was a lot to update. Somehow, my cheap wheel mouse is not working after update. What is the usual procedure to get it working again? I looked in /etc/modules and added mouseps but my other machine didn't need it to run, so I that didn't fix it. Looked at /etc/gpm.conf . Any ideas?

KDE font size changes randomly
The KDE font size keeps changing randomly. I set the font size to Arial 10 and use it for about a week or 2. I shut down my desktop every night. Then, the next morning, Arial 10 is huge and I can't fit 80 character across on the screen. I switch it back to Arial 4. Then I use it for a week or 2. Then, after my nightly shutdown and reboot, Arial 4 is too tiny to read and I have to set it back to Arial 10. Repeat the above loop infinitely. This isn't a show stopper, but it gets annoying when I have my desktop looking beautiful the way I like it.
