Yes, I know what to expect with Sid, which I've been running since 
before Sarge was released, and this isn't it. Sid is for incorporating 
new software variants into a future Stable, and sorting out any 
integration issues, not for troubleshooting broken software. It's 
supposed to work *before* it arrives in Sid.



I had one (1) Ethernet adaptor, which used to be called eth0. I can 
understand potential confusion if there was more than one, and I've seen 
that happen. What conceivable reason is there for designating it eth1, 
the second Ethernet interface, when the machine contains only one? 
Workarounds there might be, but why do I need them?


Do you need more help?X

The thread is about the wisdom of setting up networking in The Debian 
Way. The point I was making is that The Debian Way today clearly isn't 
The Debian Way of a month ago. It used to involve editing a text file, 
and at worst tweaking the modules a bit, now it involves learning the 
operation of an entirely automatic system that the user isn't even 
supposed to see, and how to override it when it screws up. As far as I'm 
concerned, that's The Windows Way, and it doesn't belong in Linux.

The original example doesn't work because wildcards are only valid  
for hostnames, not for IP addresses.  The tricky thing is they can  
*appear* to work with IP addresses under certain circumstances.   
Sometimes they will appear to work at first and then fail later when  
you change the DNS configuration -- this can be pretty puzzling!



The correct way to do it is with a netmask, as Steve shows, or with  
CIDR notation.

Upgrading is /far/ more complicated than that.  The debian upgrade cycle
for stable requires upgrading from a /current/ release to the new
release; sarge to etch, for example.


Must read:	
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes
		Especially section 4. Upgrades from previous releases
		and section 5. Issues to be aware of for etch
		Sarge2EtchUpgrade 
http://wiki.debian.org/Sarge2EtchUpgrade

Recommended: 	Browse this list's archives to learn from others'


experiences and mistakes, including mine!  Much of the pain you'll face
upgrading from such a mish-mash could be avoided by a fresh install
after saving /home and /etc for reference purposes.



I'm no expert, but have the scars from upgrading.



Have fun!

Don't know where to look next?X

<didactic>



    As opposed DOS (VFAT), ext3 is a real filesystem, with
real owners and permissions.  When it's mounted, whether by
root or, courtesy of fstab, by a user, its files have those
real owners and permissions, not those of the mounter.  This
is the same as when a standard HD filesystem is mounted.



    That's why, per Raj Kiran Grandhi, the fix is to change
the owners on the USB disk.  It's just as if root had
created a bunch of files on your hard drive that you, a
normal user, want to have control of.



    Keep in mind that if you want other users to be able to
work with these files too, you'll need to set a group you
have in common with those users.  (Or put o=rwx permission
on the files, a bad idea in my opinion.)

Things have changed so much that he'll have to reconfigure things
anyway.  Especially difficult things like email (with exim4).  



Copy /etc plus anything of his own (e.g. /home, /usr/local, /var/local,
/opt (not that Woody had it).  



Then do a bare-metal install.


Do you need help?X

But wait.  



What hardware is this box?  The box I had on which I installed Potato
for the first time doesn't have enough memory to run Etch's installer.
So we need to know what hardware (CPU, Memory, drive space) to plot a
safe upgrade path.

Here Hear!.  However, your anger is misdirected.  Udev is part of the
2.6 kernel not part of Debian.  If a new version of udev comes down the
pike to go with a new version of the Kernel, don't blame Debian.  Sure,
I suppose they could stall brining a new kernel into Sid until udev was
fixed but my jaundiced view is that udev will never be fixed it will
just continue to make Linux look more and more like windows; Lindows.


Do you need more help?X

I wish it was more like OpenBSD where there are no eth*, but numbered
instances of drivers by name.  I _think_ the order is based on hardware
(e.g. what PCI slot its in) and so doesn't flop around like udev does.

Well, after the addition of SEWindows in Debian, udev and others; maybe
Debian needs its own kernel, as BSD! Because if not, it is going to be
Windebian.

        I think the idea was that you should run openoffice as:
$ strace ooffice


If strace is not installed, run (as root)
# aptitude install strace


first.



        Anyway, apt-file shows that this libatk-bridge.so is included in

        And by the way, you're not really running ooffice as root, are you?

My /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf has: 

dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames='hartford-hwp.com'
dc_local_interfaces=''
dc_readhost='hartford-hwp.com'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='smtp.hartford-hwp.com::587'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

I reconfirmed with tech support that the server address above is
correct. Tehnical support kept asking me if I had enabled
authentication. I can only assume it is.

My mail utility is rmail, and the default mail_spool sents the
incoming mail to ~/RMAIL archive file. 

Is there anything obviously wrong with the exim4 configuration? Except
for the smarthost line, it is what I've been using many months. Could
it be that the server does not like the hostname "teufel" in my
address? I know that I have to edit messages sent to this newsgroup by
removing it from the address on the From: line.

You have to configure exim to authenticate itself on port 587 (submission port) 
using your smtp username and password.
This is what they mean by enabling authentication.
Your current exim configuration doesn't seem to have the username & password 
parameters.
Sorry I cant help you on configuring exim as I have never used it.

Mihira.

I'm not sure where I saw it documented years ago, but ps2pdf does obey
gs commands, so 'ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 myfile.ps' (output filename is
optional and defaults to myfile.pdf) will also work, and is occasionally
useful when you want to use papapersize other than the system default.

Hi every one.
Lately after a fresh install of Debian Ecth I'm having this most
annoying problem, the transfer of files using nautilus takes two time as
much time than it did before, if i transfer files using rsync the
problem doesn't show so, i think its got to be something to do with
nautilus.
Did any one had similar problems?
Thank you.
