Hello to all,



when I shutdown my computer it doesn't turn off but freeze with the 
message 'acpi_power_off called'.


However the shutdown was working before I re-config my ALSA sounds (via 
alsaconf) and indeed I have a vague remember reading something in the past 
like acpi has / have some problems with alsa which might block a complete 
shutdown like in my case.



acpid seems correctly start :


Do you need help?X

I think the OP means HTTP links, i.e. URLs in mails.



Since you're on Debian, I'd suggest apt-get install urlview and add
the urlview and add the config to your muttrc like the one in present
in /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/sample.muttrc.gz, which is:


Can we help you?X

macro index \cb "<pipe-message> urlview<Enter>"	# simulate the old browse-url function

Hey,

The title says it all. Compiz fusion is running ok on my system but i 
want to customize it :). Simple-ccsm used to be in Shame's repo but it 
isn't anymore. I'm on etch as i mentioned. How do I install simple-ccsm?

Ron, wait! The 45,000 is true, but the research part is unknown to 
Google and must be gleaned from the question...

Here is an example /etc/network/interfaces snippet which worked for me
about half a year ago (that was at a conference; I have not used WPA
since then):

------------------------------------------------------------------------

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

wpa-ssid YOUR-ESSID
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-psk SOME-LONG-SECRET-STRING
# to generate the wpa-psk string, run: wpa_passphrase YOUR-ESSID YOUR-PASSWORD 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Andrew has pointed out, you need the wpasupplicant package and its
daemon has to be running. (IIRC, it is started automatically when you
bring up an interface that has wpa-* statements in the interfaces file.)

Based on your "iwlist" output I suspect that you might have to change
the wpa-pairwise line to this:

wpa-pairwise TKIP COMP

Hello Alexandru,
I use a different set up...
I use fetchmail to pull down my gmail into my system's mail spool and
then gnus reads it from there, when I reply, gnus has to send it through
the gmail server and adjust the From: header.


(defun fs-change-smtp ()
  "Change the SMTP server according to the current from line."
  (save-excursion
    (let ((from
           (save-restriction
             (message-narrow-to-headers)
             (message-fetch-field "from"))))
      (message "From is `%s', setting `smtpmail-smtp-server' to `%s'"
               from
               (cond
                ((string-match "psmerdon@gmail.com" from)
                 (setq sendmail-program "msmtp"))
                (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'fs-change-smtp))))))

You would have to of course install the program msmtp and create a
~/.msmtprc file:

account default
host smtp.gmail.com
auth on
user psmerdon@gmail.com
password MYPASSWORD
port 587
tls on
logfile ~/.msmtplog

Not sure if you want to go that route though. You might also try the
gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup where you would definately get a better answer.

Definitive answer (Google please note!): Firefox == Iceweasel is better 
qua extensions, but Opera "seems" faster. "Seems" in quotes because it 
has to be proven to be so in order to actually be faster...

I use both. And personally I feel Opera bit faster. After opening
multiple tabs (around 10-12 tabs), opera's responsiveness is still
better than firefox.

Insufficient information to come up with a solution. Is it KDE or gnome or
some other desktop environment? What panel are you running, Which version
of the panel program is it? What is your distribution (stable, testing,
unstable)? If you do not want to be bothered with all this then just use
the date command as Gerard suggested.

Configuring your MTA as a relay host would do the same thing without
the need for a custom lisp routine.

Hello,...

tried to find (free) software that is created using this kind of point

- From we was told that this kind of programing is used in DNA software
but i didn't found any documentation in apt source for btn based software.

Could you please guide me for a free software that is created by this
idea ?

I'm on Etch. I have installed lm sensors and gkrellm. I can get sensor
data by running $>sudo sensors, but gkrellm does not display the data.
When I go into gkrellm under "builtins" it is blank.

Any suggestions? The motherboard is  ASUS A7V8X

Thank you,

hello all,

I got this "old" parallel port-connected flatbed
scanner (Microtek Scanmaker V300) which used to work
very well for me up till (including) kernel version
2.6.15 with the ppscsi modules. (ppscsi and onscsi).

After a recent upgrade to testing, which brought me
now to kernel 2.6.22, I'm not longer able to compile
the necessary  modules with this kernel. =20
I learned from the debian package tracking/bugreport
system =20
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D423317
that the package is orphaned and no longer maintained.

As a workaround I keep a dual-boot with an older
kernel (2.6.15.7) to still be able to use the modules.
This got me wondering what I would do, if 1 day after
an upgrade of for example sane, this would no longer
work...
I don't use the scanner often but it still is very
useful to me  and I would like to avoid buying a new
one.

I found on the web (yes, seems I'm not alone, h=E8h=E8)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/scanjet-5100c-i=
n-kubuntu-feisty-555861/

html

http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=3Dnode/50248

 a patch for the ppscsi-source which makes it possible
to compile the program and that lets me successfully
insert the modules.

unfortunately the scanner does not work properly yet:
- verbose output from scanimage (this as root/ the
same result as normal user):

number1:/home/dewaele# scanimage -vvvv -d
microtek2:/dev/sg4
scanimage: scanning image of size 611x842 pixels at 24
bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame
P6
# SANE data follows
611 842
255
scanimage: min/max graylevel value =3D 255/0
scanimage: read 0 bytes in total
Closing device
Calling sane_exit
scanimage: finished

scanimage stops immediately, no image is saved.
version of sane 1.0.14-2 (debian testing)

- with xsane 0.99+0.991-5,  as plugin in gimp, I am
able to take a preview-shot, but the program gives me
immediately an empty window, and no picture is
scanned/shown.

- with the the quiteinsane 0.3-8 gimp2.0-quiteinsane
plugin, I also can take a preview, but when I want to
do the real scan, I get this messagewindow :  "the
device returned an unexpected SANE_STATUS_EOF"=20

So this is where I get but no further...=20

I was wondering if anyone could steer me in the right
direction where I could find a solution to still be
able to use this scanner.
Unfortunately I don't have the necessary
skills/knowledge of how to write/correct this program
myself, so I would appreciate it anyone could help me.
Any help is appreciated.

TIA and best regards,

Johan

hi list,

I run Debian 4.1.2-13 on Dell PowerEdge 650 with kernel
2.6.21-2-686. When I install the debian, the device name of partition
is hda1, hda2. After install, I reboot it for times and it works. One
day, I find it fail to reboot, after waiting for root filesystem for a
while, Debian drop to shell(busybox). Then I notice the device name of
hard disk has automaticly changed to hde1,hde2. some times, the
devices name is changed to others like hdg1, hdg2, etc. after reboot.

What's the problem then? Can I fix the device name? Any clue for it
is appreciated. :-)

Yes, usually. But it also wreaks havoc with certain sites because the
user agent says "ice weasel" which most sites don't recognize. If you
stay with ice weasel, I recommend the firefox user agent switcher
plugin if you have any problems with scripts not running etc.
