You really need only one video package, the one for your video card, and=20 xserver-xorg-input-kbd and xserver-xorg-input-mouse. But your situation=20 doesn't look very good. Maybe there is some transition going in testing=20 so you should wait for a day or two.

And you also have some problems with the signatures. Do you have=20 debian-archive-keyring installed?

Andrei

I don't have a ready answer, but just a few thoughts.

What's your DocumentRoot set up as? This would be in /etc/apache2/sites-available2/default. Make sure it points to your index file (aka your homepage).

It's a good idea to restart apache2 after making any changes, with the command:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Can we help you?X

Might be an idea to install and read apache2-doc -- it comes with some good examples.

There's a site I googled that has some basic instructions, at http://www.free-bees.co.uk/articles/apachetest/print/

Good luck!

Mark

PS, if, even after tinkering, things still don't work, you could try webmin, where the debian package can be obtained at http://www.webmin.com/

  You probably shouldn't go ahead; it looks like aptitude is removing all or most of your video drivers. Could you post the output of

  aptitude -D dist-upgrade

so we can maybe see why it thinks those need to be removed? Normally packages that are removed up-front before dependency resolution are removed because of conflicts, but no packages conflict with xserver-xorg-video-intel that I can see.

That is good to learn. Thanks Andrei. Indeed, if I send a test mail fron other mail client, it can receive it.

Thank you.

Hello List,

Since I updated my Lenny box,
I have trouble with icedove:
I can no more connect to the imap server. I turn on debug for courier-authdaemon and courier-imad: the authentifation seems Ok.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Try connecting with another client and/or telnet to determine if the problem is in Icedove or elsewhere. -- Kent

Have to disagree there. If you send a test mail to yourself using a gmail account, it WILL come to your gmail inbox. The reason why most mailing lists doesn't show your own post to the list is that the setting in the mailing list is not to send a copy of your own mail to yourself. With regards to using a mail retriever with gmail, I find that mpop is the easiest to configure and using it along with msmtp works like a charm. The mpop downloads the mial form gmail and using msmtp, it submits the mail to postfix which then delivers it on to your local mail box. Mihira. -- Random Quotes From Megas XLR Coop: You see?

This may be a stupid question, but did you enable the cgi module by creating a symbolic link from /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to /etc/apache2/mods-available and install the appropriate php4/php5-cgi package or the libapache-mod-fastcgi depending on your usage? Without doing those two things pache won't/can't load the cgi module. There are also some libcgi packages for perl and a couple of other languages too, but I'm not familiar with them as I've never had occasion to use them.

Hi Chris, I don't think you have to go as far back as Etch. I'm running Lenny (2.6.22-3-686) with Amarok 1.4.6-1 and have no problems with it crashing. In fact, it has never crashed. I haven't tried 1.4.7.-1 yet (I will when it gets to Lenny) but afaict 1.4.6 is as stable as it can be. Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/

I have seen this behaviour whenever iceweasel is being used. Close your iceweasel windows and see if the lsof output still hangs. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/

I had a bad experience while trying to install guarddog on Knoppix (installed)this weekend. Synaptic apparently did a full update before installing guarddog, even chinese keyboards! That took a long time! It was getting late and the fine print was really, really small. At one point it asked if I wanted to restart the computer or continue. I was in no mood to restart and thought "What the heck, I'll see to this later!" When I rebooted I had the message "Starting system log daemon: syslogd" and the system hanged there. I rebooted with a Kubuntu Live-CD and tried to find an answer to this problem on the net, but in vain. So, I rebooted and removed savedefault on the boot prompt. The boot hanged very soon. I put back savedefault, and it finally worked. Lots of headaches! Is there a Linux distro that won't let you continue when you *have* to reboot? You know, more foolproof. Thanks!
