Hello!

Do you need help?

Long ago I switched from Licq to CenterICQ (CenterIM, respectively) and always wanted to know how to execute commands from within an away message. In licq this can be done with a pipe ("|") at the beginning of a line. "| fortune" for example, executes fortune each time a user reads the away message, thus reading a random fortune message. I didn't find anything about it, except some people having scripted something.
I didn't have the time to have a closer look at some of these scripts, though.

To cut a long story short: I wanted to know, if scripting is the only way to execute e.g. fortune out of the away message or is there a way to specify commands (e.g. with a pipe or an apostrophe?)

Subject: Intel Framebuffer doesn't work on notebook Message-ID: <rie8x5mgt7u.fsf@alder.acc.bessy.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Do you need more help?

I have a Notebook with an Intel VGA-Controller and the framebuffer will not work. Any idea what could be wrong? What does the line mean 'Video mode must be programmed at boot time'? How can I do this? There is no parameter, which I can give in the 'make menuconfig' process.

The controller is ('lspci | grep VGA'):
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

The command line (in grub) is:
root=/dev/hda3 ro video=intelfb:mode=1024x768-32@60 resume=/dev/hda6

And the relevant part of dmesg:

Pol,

I'm sorry to be so tardy in replying to your query.

Back in ca 2000 one could control the mouse pointer by issuing the command Shft-NumLock. I found at that time that the acceleration of the cursor movement was broken, which made the feature rather useless. I installed xkbset, but only managed to change the value of key acceleration in general without actually enabling the acceleration of the cursor movement.

Your query caused me to look into the issue again. There's a xkbset package that provides accessibility features for the X Window System which includes MouseKeys. If you install that package and do $ xkbset m, you get control of the cursor from the keypad (the keys 1-7 are like a compass to provide movement direction). Acceleration now works nicely. The command $ xkbd -m turns MouseKeys off.

The middle key (5) seems to have changed its function. I now find that it is the equivalent of the LMB, and so if the pointer is moved over a button, typing 5 from the keypad has the effect of clicking the left mouse button. I don't know where the operation of MouseKeys is documented.

I use two web hosting services, Omnis, which is good and supports Linux, and Interland/Web.com, which did not officially support Linux, but did the best it could. Over the years the quality of its technical support has plummeted. They sent out an e-mail notice that it was moving to SSL for mail, but the message was marked up in HTML, and so difficult to read. Because it started out very much like an advertisement for some proprietary service I didn't want, I didn't trouble to read the whole thing. So, out of the blue, I lost any connection to the POP and SMTP servers. Since then I have aquired the information needed to restore e-mail service. As for K's suggestion, I already planned to migrate from RMAIL to mutt when the opportunity arose. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM

This is not normal. I=E2=80=99m using dellomsa in this version on different= Dell=20 PE1950 and PE2950 systems (AMD64) without problems. You don=E2=80=99t see, = what=20 problems there are. You could dig through=20 /var/lib/dpkg/info/dellomsa.postinst to see what it does. From my experience you need the following kernel options: # IPMI CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER=3Dm CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT=3Dy CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING=3Dy CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE=3Dm CONFIG_IPMI_SI=3Dm CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG=3Dm CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=3Dm It wouldn=E2=80=99t work compiled into the kernel, they need to be modules. And Dell kernel options: CONFIG_DELL_RBU=3Dm CONFIG_DCDBAS=3Dm must be modules as well (they are not really needed for OMSA). Shade and sweet water!

Grep is to search for string within files, how can it do sorting jobs?

The file names are not sorted.

I want to cat all those file into one file and then sort the above entries, I don't know how. I also want to eliminate redundant symbols and words like `BEGIN:VCARD', `END:VCARD', `N:;', `VERSION:2.1' etc.

This is the same for me. Thanks indeed for your help Rodolfo

I tried, but apparently it's not possible to export them in csv format. Thank you Rodolfo

First of all, according to your soources.list, you only have access to the security updates and not to the main debian archives. That's why you cannot download and thus install postfix-dev. Add these lines in your sources.list : deb ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian etch main contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian etch main contrib where XX is the two-character identifier of the closest country housing a mirror. Have a look at : http://www.fr.debian.org/mirrors/list for the complete list of the debian mirrors. The deb-src line is only necessary if you need to build packages from source. To have your database up to date, type : apt-get update. This might not be the solution to your GLIBC_2.4 problem, but doubtlessly the one for your postfix-dev one. Just try and tell us. H. P.S. : your sources.list was small enough to be directly included in the E-mail.

I don't have it installed right now, but don't you have to tell hdparm (with a param) that its a scsi or something (even though it should figure that out with /dev/sdb)? Anyway, from what I remember, you're missing a param.

Try adding a normal mirror line so that you have access to the full repository. Then do an aptitude update and try again. Doug.

What I mean is, in which programming language(s) are you proficient? If it were me, I'd write a Python script. Doug.

I also tried to enable intelfb on my laptop but didin't find a way out, perhaps because I didn't include all necessary dependant module in my initrd. I noticed that the warning: "Video mode must be programmed at boot time" goes off if you specify vga=xxx (791 in my case) in the grub command line. Try and let us know.
