Yes, it should.


Do you need help?X

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the CDROM entries.
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot \
#    i386 Binary-1 (20040919)]/ stable contrib main



Then add these, if you haven't already, below them.



deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main



Then do the update/upgrade



aptitude update ; aptitude -y upgrade



There have been quite a few fixes to etch since it was released, at least here.


> Oh well, at least I have the basic system back.  I also have mutt and vi

Don't forget to take a look at vim, the vi with wheels.... :-)


Do you need more help?X

Hope this gets out (with the correct address).  I have been have a
problem sending mail since the 23rd.  I think I have it back but this
is my first test mail.

Subject:  emacs: too fast scroll speed when selecting region with mouse
Message-ID: <f5s25i$od4$1@sea.gmane.org>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hello,

In emacs, if I start selecting a region in a buffer by clicking the left 
mouse button and dragging the mouse, the buffer scrolls extremely fast 
if the mouse moves beyond the lower end of the buffer window. How do I 
correct this behavior? I notice that "Mouse Scroll Min Lines" variable 
is set to 1, so by not moving the mouse too much outside the window, it 
should scroll the buffer by this amount. This doesn't happen however. 
The selected region reaches the end of the buffer in an instant if I 
drag the mouse only slightly outside the buffer window.

This is on Debian Testing with:
$> dpkg -l emacs* | grep ^i
ii  emacs21                   21.4a+1-5      The GNU Emacs editor
ii  emacs21-bin-common        21.4a+1-5      The GNU Emacs editor's

Any idea how to solve this one?

Hi folks!

I need ksh (The Korn Shell), but in binary form, what site you can recommend me to download this binary version
of ksh for linux i386, a web or ftp site with this file it's well accepted.

NOTE: I know that it's in the repository but I need the raw binary for 386.

Best,

I don't know the technical reason whatsoever, just know it happens
out of my own experience. The point is: why on earth would you
want to hide the ssid? Certainly not as a security measure. Even
worse, depending on how crowded your area is, you may end up with
some of your neighbours dwelling in the same channel as you are
for they don't "see" you, interfering your precious data.

By trial and error I've found out it actually does .tiff and .bmp
as well. No .eps, which it would be a no-no for me if it wasn=C2=B4t
for imagemagick. I now actually use scrot instead of ksnapshot;
command line software have something inherently beautiful with
them...(although I still created a launcher).

What's wrong with the thermometer supplied by the motherboard, usually in
contact with the underside of the die?  So far, the ones I've come across
have been in proper working, calibrated order when tested against one of
those infrared thermometer gun deals.

I was unaware that openoffice.org was not freely available in win32 binary
form.

That depends on your definition of "available."  If the person receiving
your document is on dialup and not in a position to download the 100+ MB
OOo or is otherwise not sufficiently proficient to install software,
then you are basically left with "default" windows tools, which are
wordpad, and occasionally works or word.

Developer's job.  The maintainer of the package must fix it.

Hi,

I am running Debian unstable on an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor and a
MSI K8N Neo4 Mobo.

Problem: Kernel does not recognise all the RAM, it sees only 1GB.

$ uname -a
Linux *** 2.6.18-4-486 #1 Mon Mar 26 16:39:10 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I had two 512MB modules, recently I added two 1 GB models hoping to
see around 3GB of RAM. But the kernel reads only 1 GB. A little bit of
googling helped me to understand that the kernel is not compiled for
using higher memories.

$ grep HIGHMEM /boot/config-2.6.18-4-486
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set

I have been using linux-image-2.6-486 (which is 32bit) kernel to avoid
the restrictions (unavailability of flash, media codecs etc) of 64 bit
platform. Here are my two questions:

1. Is it possible to overcome the memory restriction under the current
setup? At this moment I don't have time to install a 64-bit version
kernel and go over the whole re-installation procedure.

2. When I do get time and feel comfortable to move to a native 64bit
machine, which kernel should I use? The options I am looking at are:
a) linux-image-2.6-amd64 (under amd64 or i386 arch?)
b) linux-image-2.6-k7 (under amd64 or i386 arch?)
c) linux-image-2.6-vserver-amd64 (amd64 arch only)
d) linux-image-2.6-vserver-k7 (i386 arch only)

I am not sure what the "-vserver-" images are and does my processor
come under the k7 class?

Thanks in advance for the advice. Its much appreciated.

Hey Florian,

Thank you very much for your help!

I reloaded xserver-xorg-core and the SecurityPolicy file is in its
place now.  both dpkg --purge --force-depends xfonts-base and give me
the warning of " warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is
not a directory".

Therefore startx give me the error of below:
$---------------------error begin------------------------------$
  xkb_keycodes             { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
    xkb_types                { include "complete" };
    xkb_compatibility        { include "complete" };
    xkb_symbols              { include "pc(pc105)+us" };
    xkb_geometry             { include "pc(pc104)" };
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no program named "xterm"
in PATH

Specify a program on the command line or make sure that /usr/bin
is in your path.

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be
1; fixing.

Not sure, but I'd try playing with larger values of mouse-scroll-delay:


+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
mouse-scroll-delay is a variable defined in `mouse.el'.
Its value is 0.25


Documentation:
*The pause between scroll steps caused by mouse drags, in seconds.
If you drag the mouse beyond the edge of a window, Emacs scrolls the
window to bring the text beyond that edge into view, with a delay of
this many seconds between scroll steps.  Scrolling stops when you move
the mouse back into the window, or release the button.
This variable's value may be non-integral.
Setting this to zero causes Emacs to scroll as fast as it can.

You can customize this variable.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

HTH,

Tyler

Subject: How I "fixed" my laptop Alps touchpad
Message-Id: <1182918634.5619.21.camel@diogenes>
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

My laptop has an Alps touchpad (not Synaptics). Running any FOSS system,
it was too slow. Moving from top to bottom or side to side of the
touchpad only moved the cursor about 1/2 to 2/3 the height or width of
the screen. So I was using a mouse (on a laptop?) instead. What the
hell, it worked. 

Today, running Ubuntu 7.04, I finally figured out a quick fix for the
touchpad. All I had to do was, as root, add one line to the
file /etc/X11/xorg.conf: 

        Option          "AccelFactor"           "0.5"

(BACK UP THE FILE FIRST, OF COURSE!)
Then I rebooted (just logging out of the X session and logging back in
without rebooting did not work). BTW, the acceleration factor of 0.5 was
chosen at randon, it just happened to work. You may need to use a
different value.

It works! For now anyway. And I have freed up a usb port as well. But it
will take some getting used to using a touchpad rather than a mouse. 

Hope this helps someone else.

ctrl-alt-F1

log in as root and issue:

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

or kdm or xdm or whatever dm you are using...

you shouldn't need a reboot.
