Do you need help?

are you running a mixed system? it sounds like you are and you likely need to address a number of issue that just haven't shown up yet.

interesting. sounds like, if there is lots to p2p going an as you mention below, that they're mostly leeching.=20

sounds like you're having some serious QoS issues there. What kind of connection? what are the expected speed?=20

just to wrap up this whole thing... looks I was having trouble seeing the forest for the one large tree right in front of me. I love how that happens -- encounter a problem like trying to get this variable to expand, spend a bit of time trying to suss out the problem of getting that variable to expand when all around me were numerous alternative ways to do the same thing.=20

Someone give me some nails for my hammer here...

Don't know where to look next?

Doug,

On the back of a typical IDE drive, between the power and data connectors, there is a double-row configuration header; it looks just like the data connector, except it typically has only four sets of pins.

Confused? Frustrated?

One or more shorting jumpers are plugged onto the pins in order to configure the drive as master, slave, or cable-select. And one pair of jumpers provides a 32Gbyte clip, so that the BIOS thinks that the drive is smaller than it really is. The jumper doesn't change the physical characteristics of the drive; it simply deceives the BIOS.

Somewhere on the label of the drive, the manufacturer should have provided a diagram or a table showing which pins to jumper for the various configuration options. If not, then you need to check the web site of the manufacturer for a diagram or table.

When installed, a jumper "shorts" or "bridges" a pair of pins. The jumper has a plastic body and a gold-plated brass insert; it is about 6 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, and 5 mm high.

A new drive typically ships with at least two jumpers. Sometimes an extra pair of dummy pins provides a place to "park" a spare jumper. The same type of jumper is used on the back of CD-ROM drives. So if you need a jumper and there is not a spare jumper on the drive, look around for an old disk drive or an old CD-ROM drive.

I wish. The line ### commented was not on my radar. I saw the line above my comment and thought "Why is he trying to burn a cd on an ATA Disk Dirve".

My bad. With the mail being so light today, I was working on a couple of laptops and just missed the hdb line. =20

Do you need help?

That sounds pretty odd. Can you try another linux game that uses SDL?=20 Armagetron, netpanzer and penguin-command all use libsdl-*.=20

Try starting one or the other from a xterm, and let us know anything and=20 everything that it spits out at you.

Do you need more help?

You could also use the "seq" program instead (which comes with coreutils):

for i in `seq 1 $TEST`; do ...

I'm not sure if that's more or less portable than using all these various bash features...

She's just running pure Sid. Anyway, the problem has been resolved. And for future reference for others who may encounter the same problem but come up with search results showing only the problem, but no solution; all I had to do was simply install the kernel headers.

I did look at the man page. It says the choices are '0' or '1'. I can infer that if things are disabled now, that's '0'. To enable is '1'. I just wanted verification because inference can be dangerous. Your comment seems to provide that verification. I like your idea of using find. Jim

The plugin is working; when I access a PDF at another site, the Acrobat EULA comes up (and I decline). The other site's url ends in '.pdf', while my FI's has some parameters after the filename; I don't know whether that could have anything to do with it.

It does indeed; I am just interested in a way to check the signature, although I'm not actually sure that the statement I downloaded is signed.

The detection was apparently through the browser, as per my other posts in this thread. Installing the linux Reader made them happy.

I had hoped that doing regular updates on my system, which is now Lenny, would eventually solve the problem, but it still would not print until today. I finally found how to fix the problem after reading this report of Bug #38805 in Debian. They found the parallel port settings in the bios were involved in the problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/38805 I checked my bios setup and under Parellel Port Mode found four choices. Normal, Bi-directional, EPP and ECP. I experienced the printer problem with the bios set to ECP. When I choose Normal, the printer now works. Bob C
