Oddly enough, even with realplayer installed, I tell it I want realplayer
and it


tells me it can't find a realplay or hxplay in the system search path (it
being iceweasel).



But if I tell it Windows media, up pops mozilla-mplayer plugin and all is
well.



It seems that abcnews videos play now. They wouldn't before - but I'm just
checking this


new beta i-caught service on ABC news and those videos seem to play.



On the realplay issue specifically, I got some error messages from the
player when I tried the


OP's bbc web content with the "realplay" option, stuff about ignoring an
unknown attribute and


seeing data after a newline so it is probably confused about something.
That's not very helpful,


and it's difficult for me to copy the terminal output and paste it in
iceweasel/gmail - the $*$*


editor thing highlights all my entered text and when I try and paste I lose
everything I typed.. it's


irritating.. ;(

Can't find what you're looking for?X

I need to install "checkinstall" for Linux Debian etch, from backports, primarily on amd64 etch. To check viability, and modifying a recipe found=  for
"sarge", I unsuccessfully tried with i386 by:

(1) Adding this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list file

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ etch-backports main contrib non-free

 (i.e., "etch" in place of "sarge")

(2) Adding the following lines to my /etc/apt/apt-file.conf

which should deactivate all packages from backports.org

Package: *
Pin: release a=3Detch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

i.e."apt-file.conf" in place of "preferences" and "etch" in place of "sar= ge").

Don't know where to look next?X

I planned to continue with:

(3) #apt-get -t etch-backports install checkinstall

(i.e., "etch" in place of "sarge"),

though, a check showed failure of (1) and (2) above:

apt-get update

ended with:

It's all in those binary files. Mailman offers you some cli tools to work with them in the mailman/bin directory.

IIRC, last year, Lars Wizenius, friend of Linus Torvalds, a Debian developer, created a QA tool called piuparts to check various issue like the one you mention. IIRC someone may be using it on all packages and that effort should help address this issue.

Doesn't epiphany store its user preferences under ~/.gconf? You could use gconf-editor to reset epiphany's entries. -- Liam

[...] The above line works for me (giving only a GPG error) with both "aptitude update" and "apt-get update". You could also try one of the mirrors[1]. This works for me using the UK mirror: deb http://www.uk.backports.org/ etch-backports main contrib non-free [1] http://www.backports.org/debian/README.mirrors.html -- Chris.

Just forgot to add some details about approx: for now it doesn't handle pdiff files (Eric Cooper working on it). This is a missing features but i think upstream will make it work soon. Moreover: upstream is reactive and looking for user feedback. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall

Try to add Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "off" to the InputDevice section of the touchpad and restart X. (I would comment out the line which sets HorizScrollDelta to zero and rather switch horizontal scrolling off completely.)=20 --=20 Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |

Surprisingly, your touchpad is probably not the "Configured Mouse" input device, but rather the "Synaptics Touchpad". The command "man synaptics" (you can always find the exact name of the manpage by typing "apropos synaptics" or "apropos touchpad") reveals a whole lot of options to alter the behaviour of your touchpad. I believe you're looking for the one called "VertEdgeScroll". So, in the touchpad section, add: Option "VertEdgeScroll" "false" Enjoy! -- Joris

/home/lestat/.kde/socket-comex should be a symlink to /tmp/ksocket-lestat. Make sure that this is the case and that you have write permissions in /tmp. (It seems to me that this error by a problem with your KDE setup.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |

Things to do if those haven't yet been done. Understand first Debian is a light traveling operating system; what packages you didn't download beyond a basic set will not be on your system. Contrast that with say slackware where all packages slackware has to offer get put on your system. You'll find that a light traveling operating system buys you security advantages since packages you didn't ask for are not on your system so don't have to be secured. To fix the sound card situation try aptitude install alsa -r as a command and that will install a few packages. Once that's done reboot and do the command alsaconf and when you get asked which card to configure the first choice ens 1371 will be the one you want. So just hit return there and choose yes to have a couple files modified. When alsaconf gets finished the sound card will be working.
