No. It is file versioning, which OpenVMS has had since the late 1970s. Extremely useful, for every reason that OP mentioned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files-11 NODE"user pass"::device:[dir.subdir]filename.type;ver Every file has a version number, which defaults to 1 if no other versions of the same filename are present (otherwise one higher than the greatest version). Every time a file is saved, rather than overwriting the existing version, a new file with the same name but an incremented version number is created. Old versions are can be deleted explicitly, with the DELETE or the PURGE command, or optionally, older versions of a file can be deleted automatically when the file's version limit is reached (set by SET FILE/VERSION_LIMIT). Old versions are thus not overwritten, but are kept on disk and may be retrieved at any time. The architectural limit on version numbers is 32767. The versioning behavior is easily overridden if it is unwanted. In particular, files which are directly updated, such as databases, do not create new versions unless explicitly programmed. -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.

I doubt this would be related to the kernel in any way. Since this works for other people I can only assume that something specific to your system is messed up. You will need to debug it. Sorry but that is the best advice I can give.

Normally a dhcp client will retry. This is true of both dhcp3 and pump. There should messages in the /var/log/syslog file with some information about what is happening.

Hmm... I have had problems with pump in the past and recommend dhcp3. Basically dhcp3 is the ISC code and pump is the Red Hat code. In my experience people coming from Red Hat to Debian usually prefer pump because it is what they know.

You say that you have always had to do that but I have never had to do that. The dhclient should start automatically. This is further information that something about your system is in an abnormal configuration. Bob

Instead of using preferences for this I would 'hold' the package in both dpkg and aptitude and then upgrade normally. Because the package is held it will show up in the hold list and not be upgraded. I find that to be much simpler. Alternatively for something like swig you could simply let it upgrade along with everything else and then downgrade it specifically later. Using 'aptitude download packagename' makes downloading deb files very easy. aptitude download swig If you do that before upgrading to Etch while still pointing at Sarge then you would have the Sarge version in the current directory. After upgrading to Etch then dpkg will install this easily. dpkg -i swig_1.3.24-1_*.deb Bob

/var/log/messages is a subset of /var/log/syslog suitable for people who are used to other systems but syslog is the superset of all log files. I would get used to looking in /var/log/syslog and forget about /var/log/messages. But in this case you probably saw all of the same messages that are logged to syslog. The configuration is that *.* matches everything and everything goes into /var/log/syslog. *.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn; auth,authpriv.none; cron,daemon.none; mail,news.none matches somewhat less and goes into /var/log/messages.

I am imagining that you have told Gnome to ignore the USB drive. This could be checked pretty easily by creating a test user such as test1 or guest or some such and then logging in as that new user. If it works for the pristine user's environment then you know that the configuration issue is specific to gnome and specific to your $HOME/.gnome*something files. Bob

Thanks Bob No - it is definitely installed - I've used it on the cli plenty of times. I am interested in finding out how I am to call it from within a bash script, because simply putting mencoder <options> <file> in the bash script isn't working. I'm not a programmer, so I can guarantee that this is a case of PEBCAK, but I am not clear on how to resolve it.

Hi Justin That would be really useful for me to see how you did it. If you wouldn't mind me potentially nicking some of the ideas to make this script work.

Hmm... Okay. Then let's debug why. Try this scriptlet: #!/bin/sh ls -ld /usr/bin/mencoder type mencoder echo PATH=$PATH dpkg -l mencoder | grep mencoder dpkg -L mencoder | grep /bin/ exit 0 What does it say? On one of my Etch systems it says: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4107292 2007-06-19 00:42 /usr/bin/mencoder mencoder is /usr/bin/mencoder PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games ii mencoder 1.0-pre7-0.0 MPlayer's Movie Encoder /usr/bin/mencoder My guess is that on your system it is installed someplace special and so is in your PATH when called from your shell but not on PATH when you are trying to run the script.

Thanks for the pointer. It looks like the difference is that dsc.py is able to send a summary of the advisory in the notification, while cron-apt has much more control over logging and upgrades. -- Adam Hupp | http://hupp.org/adam/ End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #1883 ************************************************** Received on Tue Jul 3 04:12:52 2007
