Re: gnome-panel .. gone .. #@!!!!
If there was ever a thing that taught me to not get relaxed and take it for granted that apt-get would handle everything nicely for me, this is it. /me grumbles and goes back to his panel-less desktop. Additionally, I've noticed my non-us.debian.org apt source is returning 404's on updating. I haven't looked at it yet, though, because the panel thing is a bit more pressing. Any idea if the two things might be related, as I haven't touched my apt.sources in ages?
Re: evolution - what's it doing?
Evolution gave me some problems a little while ago, so I started using Mozilla Thunderbird. I had no problems at all when removing Evolution. It'll complain that it has to remove the 'gnome' package as well, but that's just a meta package. Nothing to worry about. For the record, for me at least, Thunderbird runs far cleaner and more smoothly on my box. Evolution is nice, but meh.

I'm only an occasional user of the mailing list (I pop in every week or so to check up on it, that's about it, at most), and I was wondering as well. Actually, I even made the same incorrect assumption. >From the perspective of someone that doesn't follow the list religiously, just pops around a bit and quite honestly probably only reads one message out of a thousand, I kind of think the weekly FAQ or posting guidelines is a good idea. To put it bluntly, I'm sure that a lot of people just aren't concerned enough to study a FAQ page somewhere, but if every week or two (even monthly) a message pops up that reminds them, they'd probably take note. Afterall, I honestly never had heard of 'top-posting' before until now, but just this gentle reminder means that at least one occasional user is now posting more 'correctly'.

Upgrading Perl
This is going to be a really newb-ish question, but eh. I'm looking to upgrade perl on a debian webserver, running mod_perl and apache. Is doing this really going to be as simple as "apt-get upgrade perl", or will this at all also affect mod_perl, etc? I've googled around and looked on perl.apache.org but I haven't found anything one way or the other. Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Upgrading Perl
Yeah, after looking about a bit I came to the same conclusion, that it's best not to mess with it. It's up to date for a debian stable machine, so eh. Really, the only reason was that we've been using Cache::SharedMemoryCache to track user logins and such, and that module is just painfully slow. So slow, that when we get a few hundred users at a time, it starts timing out, unless we have it expire after 45 minutes. That's fine for now, but then when we get more users, or when we (almost certianly) want to extend that time out So, I was looking, and Cache::FastMmap was great, and exactly what we needed, but requires perl 5.8.0 or later. The other one I'm looking at is DB_File (Berkeley DB), which we already use, but doesn't have expiration built in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: All these open ports
Generally speaking, to close a port, you shut down whatever deamon is listening on it. For example, if you had port 80 open, and want to close it, shut down your web server (apache or whatever else).

Too Many Open Files On System
Firstly, I apologize for having no real details on this. I'm running Debian Unstable, and seemingly randomly, I'll go to run a program or save a file or what not, and I'll get an error to the effect of "too many open files on system". In one case, I rebooted to try and solve this, and within 5 minutes of starting X, it started that again. That brings me to the next part - Sometimes (often), it seems that it's a simple case of shutting down another program. In the aforementioned case, it was Internet Explorer running under Crossover Office. Another one was when "ls" returned "Segmentation Fault" while I ran "tail -f" on the apache error log. If I shut down tail, it worked fine. Started tailing again, and again "ls" would Seg Fault, but after a reboot, it's never happened again. In a bit of frustration, I didn't think to write down what file (ugh), but some commands and programs would say that a certian library couldn't be opened. That also is usually soved by shutting down a program that seemingly has nothing to do with the one that's reporting the problem. Again, I apologize for having next to no *real* information on this problem, but I will indeed post back with some now that it's become a problem rather than a minor annoyance.

Re: Too Many Open Files On System
I've written down a few of the libraries that programs don't seem to be able to load randomly, although I'd expect that the libraries aren't significant in this case, they just happen to be trying to load them at the same time that there's "too many open files". But, just in case, these are the ones that have come up in the past few days, all with "cannot open library x Error 23" libatk-1.0.so.0 libdb-4.2.so libeutil.so.0 libcrypt.so.0 libutil.so.1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Seriously man, screen is God's gift to the console. Even if not for this problem, look into it if you haven't already. It's increadibly useful to me, and I haven't even looked into it in depth, really.

Re: urgent help
I'm far from an email guru, and in fact only know the basics of it all, but I think more details would help those who do know. Maybe even attach the email?

Re: Gdesklets Doesn't Connect to Daemon
I think that's probably what I did, since it just sort of started working after a dist-upgrade.

Gdesklets Doesn't Connect to Daemon
I was looking at the gdesklets package, and it looked interesting enough for me to apt-get it to try it and see how it was. Problem is when I do a "gdesklets start", it times out while trying to connect to the daemon. I found an old FAQ page on it (page didn't even exist anymore, only the google cache), which said that the gdesklets-daemon file probably didn't have execute permissions. I looked for this file in /usr/bin/, the same place as 'gdesklets', but it wasn't there. I noticed that gdesklets itself was a softlink to /usr/lib/gdesklets/gdesklets so I looked there and indeed found the gdesklets-daemon file. Just to see if it'd help, I created a similar link (gdesklets-daemon in /usr/bin, linking to /usr/lib/gdesklets/gdesklets/gdesklets-daemon). It doesn't seem to make a difference. I checked the log file in ~/.gdesklets/logs, but it's essentially empty, containing only the following line:Log messages of /home/mike/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets%3A0.0.logHas anyone else, by chance, had this problem? I've never used the program before so I'm a little unsure of where to work, since I didn't get a change to break it myself yet :) Thanks in advance! -Mike
