Additional info:

the following will happen only under zh_CN locale, and when I change locale to en_US, it will in a correct sequence without requiring a ``fc-cache'' .

How is the font matching/selection affected by locales?

Do you need help?X

Thank you!

When I try to start the program I receive an error about a shared library: "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I've never had trouble running Eclipse before, although they may have added a dependency to this library in the latest version. I looked online for a libgtk-x11-2.0 deb, but I couldn't find one. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks, Scott Huey P.S. - I'm running the latest version of Debian testing and I was trying to use the Europa build of Eclipse.

There was a sub-thread about this back in March: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/03/msg02895.html Andrei said that there was work in progress for a merge option.

I actually remember that forcing programs to use sudo (and gksudo) instead of root is in gconf, I just forget exactly where. Maybe someone else can point Joe and I in the right direction. - -- If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG3WZcg6qL2BGnx4QRApA4AJ9aKw2YIaTQUSOZtvQJBLHvPIIiZwCfZDMU 7I5ZCQOCKJj0MeWztpB8Qrw= =nQlk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'd say even tmp or swap need to be redundant since there is software out there which will fail if the /tmp filesystem fails or swap has read/write errors. also sprach Alex Samad <alex@samad.com.au> [2007.09.02.0351 +0200]:

Care to elaborate about those hiccups? Anyway, from the information you provide, all I can suggest is that this is a hardware issue, likely the motherboard.

You'd create a new logical volume in the other volume group, copy the data over manually, and delete the old logical volume. Cheers, Tyler

The printer was visible, and put the job in kjobviewer and gave an error message trying to shift the job to the Samsung. Now Lenny cannot even see this usb printer to install it after an apt-get dist-upgrade today.(29/8/07) The same printer works fine in Debian etch, also works fine in Sidux Gaia. Same behavior in Kubuntu gutsy tribe5, which must use snapshots of Lenny packages, hence same errors. Using a specific ppd does not help either, when you could install the printer that was.

I joined the mailing list and got 2 answers very quickly stating there was a Kaffeine problem in Debian. I thought that Kaffeine, interfering with a printer was a bit on the far side. However removing Kaffeine, allowed my Samsung ML-2010 to be seen again in KDE print. It refused to print still, putting the job in Kjobviewer, and only printed on rebooting, a behaviour I had noted before. /The true problem, I believe resides in kernel 2.6.21-2, as everything goes fine with printing, Kaffeine present and all with the older kernel 2.6.18-4-486 #1 Mon Mar 26 16:39:10 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux.

On my mail server I have exim4-config 4.67-8 installed. I have, for sometime now, had to add this to my /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template to get my mail. smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 150 AFAIR I have done this since exim3.
