So, what explicitly the problem is?


E.g. I have tried to open the website you posted but i failed because it is
forbidden for me.


I've got:


" You don't have permission to access /ar/universal/p/index.mpl on this
server."


Do you need help?X

The problem, at least in my case, seems to be proper connecting to the righ=
t


server, but I could also be a web browser problem. Just now, I'm using
Iceweasel 2.0.0.3.




Have you got any different error message?



Kind regards.

git-core provides the core git packages.  The other three
are tools for migrating data from arch, cvs, and svn,
respectively.  The core-tutorial 


(/usr/share/doc/git-doc/core-tutorial.txt) in git-doc
is a good starting point.

Don't know about the Adobe one but ffplay plays .flv - or you can
recode them to a sane format:



ffmpeg -i foo.flv -sameq foo.saneformat



Note that I have all the "unofficial" codec packages from
www.debian-multimedia.org installed.

Hello,

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=revtex4&searchon=all&subword=1&version=stable&release=all

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=tex-live&searchon=all&subword=1&version=stable&release=all

Apparently, no package contains 'revetex4' or 'tex-live' in its description.

Look the official site of revtex4 : http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/

Maybe that I am mistaken me..

bye

Hi Shams,

thank you for answer. After posting my message I found that the package
texlive-publishers contains the revtex4 class...

Hi all

I have recently downloaded and installed Skype onto my lenny system and 
when I am configuring it by making a test call, apparently there is a 
problem with my sound system. I have gone through the various options in 
the Skype settings, but am wondering if there is something that I should 
be doing with respect to my soundcard.

Has anyone any experience with Skype to let me know what I am overlooking?

Cheers

A

I tried switching to VLC.  I was resetting the hotkeys, clicked Save, and
xorg restarted.

I'm utterly unfamiliar with the internals of X.  What would VLC have been
doing when I clicked Save that would cause a xorg restart?

Kamaraju's pointed got me curious as I hadn't seen the feature in 2.0.x 
yet. And indeed you are right. The patch was to make sure those 
"extensions" worked properly. Thunderbird/Icedove in itself does not 
have the feature of "Reply-To-List" yet.

I've used thunderbird and icedove forever, and missed that feature
upgrade.  Thanks, guys!  Now there's effectively 'reply to list' with
many fewer steps than before.

I read the list on gmane, and this reply was sent by Ctrl-R, flip
'Newsgroup' to 'To:' and change 'gmane.linux.debian.user' to 'du,' my
alias for debian-user@lists.debian.org.

Thanks Alexander Sack (maintainer), always on the ball!

Was wondering if anyone has a workaround for this problem other than
uninstalling and reinstalling.  I'm trying to upgrade a package and
get this error.  The software involved doesn't seem to be one that I
can uninstall without uninstalling a bunch of things I'd rather not
uninstall to reinstall.  See error at the bottom of this upgrade
command.  The same happens when I just try an install.  Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated.  I've tried to touch a 777 file for /usr/
sbin/add-shell but I still get that error.  I pretty much can't run
any upgrade, I get the same error.  I try the upgrade by itself then
on debianutils.

Check your mixer settings, maybe you have mic on mute or something
like that. But give more information, without it no one will be able
to help you.

what version of skype? what type of soundcard? some versions did not 
like my OSS soundcard, I'm using the latest static version.

Perhaps it's a difference in processor features.  Newer CPUs from
Intel and AMD contain special virtualization instructions that make
running a VM much easier, and somewhat faster.  Maybe she has such a
chip and you don't?

Nope.

To take advantage of this you need KVM, which is a fork of qemu.

What's more these hardware instructions are in their early incarnations
and in many cases, given the horsepower of the machines featuring these
instructions, using traditional software-based virtualization
(VirtualBox, VMware, or qemu+kqemu) is smoother and faster.

(Sorry if you see this twice, but I never saw the first copy come
through)

Hello,
I'm announcing a program I've written for notifying the administrator
about necessary security updates on a Debian box.  It's called Debian
Security Check (dsc.py).

Often it's not obvious that a security advisory applies to a
particular system.  This is especially tricky with libraries (think
fast: do any of your services depend on freetype?).  It would be nice
to ignore the flood of advisories that come in from
debian-security-announce and only pay attention to the ones that
actually require action on your part.

dsc.py compares the set of currently upgradable packages with the
security advisories RSS feed.  Any matches are written to stdout along
with a description of the issue.  When run via cron this will send the
warning to the administrator on a regular basis until the upgrade is
done.

A full description and link to the program is here:

Nice work, thanks for that. I must look into that.. :)
