Really stupid mutt question

2006-07-30 Thread Heimdall Midgard
I've been banging my head for the past six hours trying to figure out how to write a message in Mutt. (So I've given up and used GMail instead.) The problem: how do I write a message in Mutt *without* invoking the postponed message menu first? It seems that every time I press "m" for "compose a

Deleting partition icons from Gnome desktop

2006-03-23 Thread Heimdall Midgard
There was a time, not too long ago, when my Gnome 2.12.3 desktop was clean. It showed only three icons, Trash, Computer and Home. Now it's littered with ugly-looking "Volume" icons representing the partitions of my lone hard drive. These are partitions that are of no interest to the typical desktop

Enabling kinput2-canna

2006-01-16 Thread Heimdall Midgard
Aside from the key combinations in vim and emacs, I've never really used an input method. But I now have canna and kinput2-canna installed and nothing seems to happen. Besides the raw installataion of the two packages and their dependencies, what else do I need to do (install or configure) to use

(G)Vim Oddity

2005-12-19 Thread Heimdall Midgard
I just noticed something weird with my (G)Vim installation when editing generic config files. The syntax highlighting colors appear wrong. Could somebody do a test to confirm if this is really a bug or just a misconfiguration on my end? To do the test, create two files both named "udev.rules" (per

Alsa card activation order

2005-11-20 Thread Heimdall Midgard
I can think of two ways to fix the problem. But I want to know the Debian Way(tm). My problem is simple. I have two sound "cards" in my computer. But I want my onboard sound to be the first sound card recognized by Alsa in both its /dev/dsp* (OSS emulation) and /dev/snd/pcm* (Alsa proper) incarnat

Lilypond takes too long to build

2005-11-05 Thread Heimdall Midgard
The latest Debian lilypond source package (2.6.3-9) is taking too long to build. After over a day (24 hours!) the package is still building on my Sempron 2800+ (64 bit version running as plain i386). This is already more than twice as long as the time it takes the behemoth Openoffice.org to build (

Tor, Privoxy and GMail

I'm having problems connecting to GMail using the combination of Tor and Privoxy and a 56K dialup connection. Every so often I would also get an alert from my browser that GMail could not be found. The only change I did to the default Debian settings for Tor and Privoxy is the one mentioned in the
