Do you need more help?X

I am joining mid-thread, so I might misunderstand the problem, but why don't you just use the full path, i.e.

/usr/bin/mencoder <options> <file>

in your script? (Or are you worried about portability?)

Use link provided by udev instead of /media/usb*

The last field on your fstab line must be 2 instead of 0. But be sure that your usb drive are powered on when you boot. HTH -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want." Kurt Bittner

Whereas the --gamma-table option is inactive and I don't manage to activate it. Anybody on this list who has experience with this matter? Or maybe adjust colours with another application?

I believe that the problem might be module-init-tools which procedure do u use for compiling? (debian-way or others?) The only thing that u can do is try! Pol

Actually, it may not be possible[0]. I think there isn't any support, and from hearing others' experience, they've run into trouble every time.

If you really want to check that a certain key belongs to a Debian Develope= r,=20 you should check that the key is on keyring.debian.org. This one is always = up=20 to date. Just use "gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-key=20 $ID-TO-CHECK" . If you do not get a positive answer, then the key does not= =20 belong to a DD. (There might be some problems with emeritus developers, but they should be= =20 minimal). Please also note that for the backports.org archive, there might be some=20 uploaders, who are not a DD (yet), but in the NM process.

Thanks Florian. Comprehensive, as usual! I think you have now covered all possibilities: 1. Checking an unofficial repository's keyring against the official Debia= n keyring. 2. Checking an unofficial repository's keyring against the personal key o= f the repository's maintainer. 3. Checking an unofficial repository's keyring against the personal key o= f the repository's maintainer whose User ID is not found.

>=20 It seems that this is an outstanding debian-keyring bug dating from 16 Fe= b 2005: #295527 "horribly outdated"[1]. A bug reply mentions a local updated, unofficial version by Roland Stigge= : debian-keyring_2006.10.11_all.deb[2] dated 11-Oct-2006.

During the installation of a new kernel you will get a message warning you to restart soon - but don't restart until after the installation is complete. The point is that you should not need to check whether your kernel has been updated (provided you read the messages during installation). -- Chris.

hi, do $ uname -a this gives you the name of your kernel than do: apt-cache search linux-headers. this gives you a list, from which you can select you appropriate linux-headers. than do as root: apt-get install linux-headers (i.c. the appropriate linux-headers version) you can see the packages installed in /usr/src under debian_etch (stable) good luck, steef

Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-2". Falling back on "fixed" Eterm: FATAL: Couldn't load the fallback font either. Giving up. The problem is clearly with fonts but the strange thing is that after restarting Xsession it's all god. It happends after some time of using X. I tried #dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig but it didn't help. How else can I regenerate font cache or somthing? Does any one have an idea why these fonts break after a while? thanks Kuba

I wonder if there's a way to download such repos without having an svn client since I can access the web with a web-browser. -- my place on the web: floss-and-misc.blogspot.com

The problem with dhclient is that it disconfigures the loopback interface under some conditions. A bug is still open after 7 years! http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D65718 Users reported other problems, but perhaps they have been fixed now (I switched from dhclient to pump 3 years ago). Also I need to control whether a DHCP client is running or not, because on another machine (a laptop) I use netenv and DHCP is not used on some networks (BTW, I've already have a "killall pump" in my netenv scripts on this laptop, and I could probably do the same thing with dhclient). --=20 Vincent Lef=E8vre <vincent(at)vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
