Re: Watching google videos?

Thanks for the answers: The download link works fine - because it says "Windows/Mac" I was under the false impression that I get some obscure file. The "video downloader" extension for Firefox works very well, too. It allows to choose between AVI, FLV, and MP4. All three formats can be played by mp

Watching google videos?

Hi, somebody sent me a link to a video on google*, but Firefox only says "Click here to download plugin" and on clicking "No suitable plugins were found". Yes, I know, it's flash and flash is neither free nor does it work on my machine (amd64). But maybe there is a way to download the video and wa

exim4: how to use other server for certain users?

Hi, I have a sarge machine, named e.g. "foo.bar.net". For certain existing or non-existing users of that machine I like to route all mails via "baz.bar.net". The latter machine already knows, how to handle mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. correctly. How do I have to configure exim4 on foo.bar.ne

unattended installation of exim4

Hi, a colleague had problems when upgrading using 'apt-get -q -y install ...', because the install/upgrade of exim4 tried to ask questions, so the automated installation failed. How can he avoid any questions from exim4 or any other packages? Is it enough to set the debconf priority to critical?

Looking for nice, small display manager

Hi, I'm looking for a nice display manager (for XFCE4). My expectations are: * good looking :-) (GTK+ 2 preferred) * small (not hundreds of dependencies on GNOME, KDE, ...) * remote capable (XDMCP support) * "system menu" (reboot/shutdown) Considered so far: gdm - best so far, but much too ma

Howto remove grub?

Hello, I have a machine where I want to cleanly install Debian, but the MBR has remains of grub. I searched the net, but all hits I got involved a DOS diskette or similar. I don't have such a disk, but I can boot the machine using Knoppix or other Debian rescue CDs. What is the magic command li

Hi, the combination of raid1, reiserfs, and mkinitrd works sort of. An admin and me have still two problems: - a lot of modules are loaded unnecessarily - on boot (it seems) the devices are probed for different file systems until reiserfs is found We tried different things, like setting /etc/
