Is the libgl1-mesa-dri package installed on your system? (This may not be the main problem, but it should speed up your 3D graphics.)

Yeah I just installed abook and been playing with it. Its nifty little app. As for MUTT I tried configuring it along with getmail and procmail but I could never get it too work right. I am using claws-mail right now and it is quite good. But I do plan to try mutt again.

Thanks for the tip!

Interesting. I am sorry if this question sounds dumb but how did you patch everything together? So you have C program that uses the readline library and a python front-end for the sql database? If so, in your C program you simply call out the python script whenever you need to make a connection/read/write to the database?

Thanks.

Don't know where to look next?X

That is if you want it (modem/router) to work in PPPoe mode. For bridge mode, you still have to do the configuration on your computer. Bridge mode reduces hassles of forwarding various ports in the router/modem, BTW.

In my case though, I use my modem in bridge mode and use a Debian Testing based old machine as a router. Heck of a lot of freedom I have with iptables than with the limited options in the router's firewall.

  debian-med is an example of a meta-package.

  A meta-package is a package which exists soley to pull in  dependencies. For example I use several packages upon  my desktop to customise my environment:

    steve-desktop

  • This package installs no files, but it depends upon things like 'iceweasel', 'emacs21', etc. This means a simple 'apt-get install steve-desktop' will get me most of the programs I care about in one go.

    steve-completion

  • Installs a bunch of files into /etc/bash_completion.d/ to give additional bash completion.

  Creation meta-packages can be done easily via the 'equivs'  package. (See 'apt-cache show equivs' for a brief intro)

  Meta-packages, and packages for configuration files, are a little  advanced for typical users, but they are remarkably useful.

No C program. Python uses readline by default. I.e. print this, raw_input that. I used python-psycopg for the database access. Doug.

Whenever I've needed to do that, I follow the 'standard' method with a file in /var/lock. Create a file with your script name and put its PID in it. Your script can then test for the existance of this file, read it, and verify the existance of the PID (remove the file if the PID is dead) and create its own lock file, removing it on successfull completion. Doug.

I have had a go a building some packages before, but it has been a while, a= ll i=20 do know is make changes to the code and run make mk-debs, forgotton the mag= ic=20 behind there. How do you get around the config file problem, for instance I want have a= =20 package to setup my ldap server, I would like to just go apt-get install=20 <servername>.ldap and have it bring in the depend packages like slapd, but = at=20 the end of the slapd install to actually over write the slapd.conf and othe= r=20 files. Do I mark this up as a Replaces action or do i do it via the instal= l=20 scripts ? The later seems easier and I get a chance to make backup of the= =20 files >=20

This is what I do in situations like this: #!/bin/sh #get pid PID=$$ #check to see if a previous process is running if [ -e /var/run/sync.check ] ; then if ps -p `cat /var/run/sync.check` >> /dev/null 2>&1 ; then echo "Sync process already running, exiting" exit 1 fi fi #write out pid echo $PID > /var/run/sync.check #do stuff #end of script, remove pid file rm -f /var/run/sync.check
