Only if you're trying to break your system or you want to run an experimental system (which often means the same thing).

Here be dragons.

Hopefully, someone who still runs Sarge can do some lookup. I run Etch.

You'd have to ask aptitude (or whatever you do with apt-get, haven't used it since Potato) to see what jadetex depends on.

Jadetex likely depends on tetex anyway, why not let apt sort out the dependancy. I.e. don't tell it to install tetex-base.

Do you need more help?X

However, just to be sure, send your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then, as I see it, you have two choices:

  1. Take the opportunity to learn Python.
  2. Cat the files together from the command line. 
	Easiest way is to put them all in one directory (with nothing
	else) and issue:

$ cat * > contacts.txt

        You now have everything in one file.

        Then put it in an editor and start manual sorting.

no. you chown'ed /tmp which is not /var/tmp. And, *look* at /var *first* to see if it matches what I posted.

don't panic though, there is (or should not be) anything persistent in /tmp, so it will fix itself up with a reboot.=20

meanwhile look at=20

/var permissions for potential problems. In particular, /var/tmp should have the sticky bit set. Maybe you could post up the output of=20

Texdoc and especially texdoctk.

With texdoctk, you get a little GUI of menus of documents that you can peruse and click on and it will pop up the correct viewer.

I started with texlive so I don't know how this compares with tetex.

IIRC, the "command reference" is the not-so-small intro to Latex in pdf, but I could be wrong.

Hi - Thanks for the help.  I'm still not there, but getting closer I=20
think.

I added my user name to groups lp and lpadmin, rebooted, and can see both= =20
in groups username.

However, using the Desktop->Administration->printing Add Printer tool=20 still does not produce a printers.conf file in /etc/cups, BUT using the=20 CUPS HTML frontend, I did create a printers.conf file. In fact, the CUPS=20 HTML frontend 'said' the installation was successful. However, I still=20 can not print. The problem probably is the printer address. I don't=20 know what to enter here. My printer is hooked up to another computer on=20 my local network that runs samba and my windows laptops can see and print= =20
to it. If I look at the printers.conf file on that computer, there is a=20 line that says DeviceURI hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device...= .
(more junk here). Anyway, not knowing what to put for printer address, I= =20
put http://'the ip address of the local computer that has the printer=20 connected to it':9100. The CUPS HTML frontend tool seemed happy with=20 that, but obviously, that was not really what it wanted as I can not=20 print even a test page.

Still learning and reading, but not there yet.

Can we help you?X

I think what you're seeing is that apt-get and aptitude handle the "Suggests: " and "Recommended: " directives differently.

You can change that behavior in the aptitude menus, I believe, if you feel like it.

Don't know where to look next?X

Also, are you sure that aptitude isn't completing some earlier installations done outside of aptitude?

What happens in aptitude's user interface if you just launch it without asking it to install anything? Does it still want to?

Perhaps it is "catching up" on packages that are already installed and their recommended siblings.

Thanks for the nudge to RTFM ;-) My inital confusion was that non-imap mail used 'c' and 'enter' and imap mail uses 'c' and 'space' to 'enter a folder'.

This page should be helpful, it describes the whole process quite well=20 (with different ways of installing the driver) and offers some=20 troubleshooting: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Kind regards, Michal R. Hoffmann

> I removed the option to automatically install recommended packages and now aptitude behaves like apt-get. Thanks for the suggestion. BTW, there were no pending installs. If I hit 'g' when I got into aptitude it said there was nothing to do. Those were all recommended packages for the Mercurial install I guess. Jeff

Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:51:01 -0700 From: Jeff Grossman <jeff@stikman.com> To: Debian Users <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Subject: Mutt Config Help Message-ID: <472671E5.4000608@stikman.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am using Mutt with my Maildir mail setup. I want it so that when I delete a message it goes into my Deleted Items folder instead of just getting deleted. I have done some research and found the following macros: macro index d "s=Trash\n" "move message to trash" macro pager d "s=Trash\n" "move message to trash" But, I have not been able to figure out how to put Deleted Items in there instead. If I do this: #macro index d "s='.Deleted Items\n" "move message to trash" #macro pager d "s='.Deleted Items\n" "move message to trash" It was to create a new folder called DeletedItems (no space). Any ideas? Thanks, Jeff End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #2704 ************************************************** Received on Mon Oct 29 20:15:36 2007
