Odd problem.  I'm attempting to use the gnome-network-manager tool to
quickly change network settings on my laptop, but when the gui comes up,
no interfaces are shown to modify. Zip. Nada.  This is after I modified
my /etc/network/interfaces has been edited to comment out all interfaces
except the loop device. Same behavior before.



Thinking this may be a permissions problem, I open the users-admin tool,
and the same thing - no users or groups are displayed.



Where should I look?



Regards,


Klein.

My own route to this is to install the linux-source package, the
nvidia-kernel-source package, the kernel-package package. Create your
kernel .deb followed by the nvidia module .deb using make-kpkg.  The
directions for using make-kpkg are quite decent (I suggest using epochs,
BTW), and it's clean and easy to maintain.  Installing the two .deb's
properly sets up all you need.  Nvidia-glx should fall into place
automatically.

I've got mozilla-mplayer (MPlayer-plugin for Mozilla) installed in
Lenny.
When selecting a video from that page, and checking RealAudio, Iceape
plays the video fine, making use of the mplayer-plugin.

Most packages use debconf for this - so you'll need to:
    # dpkg-reconfigure debconf

And you should be able to choose the "noninteractive" interface. This=20
won't ask any questions at all.

The above will change the system-wide default - if you just want to=20
change it for a single invocation of apt, set the DEBIAN_FRONTEND=20
environment variable:
    # DEBIAN_FRONTEND=3Dnoninteractive apt-get install whatever

Hope this helps

PS: Have a look at the debconf(7) man page (in the debconf-doc package)=20
- should be useful for you.

Hi folks :-)

Which value hddtemp show? (about my ata disks, between 45-55 C)

Is it correct? Or I should worry?

This has been done.  However, the problem persists.  Also, the
users-admin tool does not work, as described before.  Interestingly, the
services-admin tool does not work (gui comes up, no services listed),
either.

All seem to be related to dbus (maybe?)- I get this error when starting
from command line:

(services-admin:11296): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Message did not receive a reply
(timeout by message bus)

Same deal with users-admin and network-admin.

Regards,
Klein

Mr. Kaye, many thanks. Unfortunately, there is no such option in the 
two "mouse" related sections:

==========
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
EndSection
=============

I tried reconfiguring and changing to imps rather than explorerps2, no 
change.

Is there another possibility?

Awesome, I changed that but I had to select "Noninteractive," and "Ignore
questions with priority lower than <critical>," and this worked to keep the
kernel boot screen off.

Thank you!

Hello,

I use unison and rsync on my home LAN. Everything works fine as long
as I use ip addresses, for example,

ssh rick@192.168.0.5

But my router (on home LAN) assigns dynamic ip addresses. So my
scripts don't work if the router happens to assign a different address
that day to one of my machines.

Is there a way to use ssh and rsync using hostname instead of ip
address. It seems to me I've had this working once or twice, but then
it stops.

Thanks for any help.

What's wrong with simply sticking a thermometer in there? I'm talking
about a remote-reading one, like those intended to feed a wire through
your door or window and hang on the roofline or whatever. That will
give you a calibrated temp reading, not an arbitrary meaningless
number.

Andrew, I just posted the results of my investigation: it's due to my
