You told it, ffmpeg can't still downmix (but that is a requested feature, many related patches laying aroung ffmpeg-devel), so you have to do it manually (for example using faad --downmix).

Check also the Gmane archive of ffmpeg-user where I recently discussed that issue.

Do you need help?

The foo_0.2_arch.changes file for each upload can be signed and contains th= e=20 md5 checksums of the package files. I'm not sure where apt gets a copy of=20 this from.

I'm not completely sure but one application I can think of would be to trac= k=20 changes or to check easily whether files in two packages are identical. It'= s=20 a bit redundant but where's the harm?

You pretty much never have to reboot when running a Linux-based OS. Many=20 server admins cannot afford to reboot so anything that tried to force them = to=20 wouldn't go down well. Knoppix is not really intended to be used as a=20 disk-based OS and may be rough around the edges with regards to updating,=20 packages, etc as few people will be testing this behaviour.

It's the Release file which is signed (detached signature in Release.gpg). Release contains md5sums of all Packages files which in turn contain hashes of all package (.deb) files.

I guess this has something to do with error detection at the installation stage and is not used to detect that someone has unauthorizedly tampered with the package. But I don't really know.

I don't think this has anything to do with cryptographic signatures and it doesn't sound like a problem you should expect to face on Debian. J. --=20 I'm being paid to act weirdly.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the command. wodim -scanbus looks only for devices wodim can read from or write to, which means cd/dvd-burner and -reader. I don't think, that you want to burn with the jaz nor the zip-drive, because they are disk drives. Mount them as usual and you should be fine. If you want your drives to be detected, use hwinfo or discover or similar. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHZmoMAhMNa+PFqP0RArWYAJ9lxCwyU6IznuBruLPsQSq11EM0ggCfUKFx ROiVKMCaPKRWq9xho4+HY0I= =wx7t -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You may need to adjust the BrowseAddress option to include the server's IP address, each client also needs to run cupsd to browse printers on another server. http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-cupsd-conf.html -- Stephen Patterson :: steve(at)patter.mine.nu :: http://patter.mine.nu/ GPG: B416F0DE :: Jabber: patter@jabber.earth.li "Don't be silly, Minnie.

On the OS/X installer DVD is an X Tools option, that is not installed by default. (This is with pre-Leopard; I'm unsure about Leopard.) Install that. Now you can fire up X, and I believe it will open a terminal window. (I don't have a Mac in front of me, so I'm doing this by [hazy] memory.) From there, just "ssh -X yourserverusername@yourserversIPaddress". I'm assuming your server is running Debian. If you've configured Debian to allow X forwarding ("XForwarding=Yes" or similar in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I believe), once you've logged into Debian over the ssh connection, you can start any X-enabled app, and it will display/run "on" your Mac. Any questions, ask again for clarification. In an hour or so I'll be in front of my Mac and can walk through the process and give better details if necessary. -- Kent

I have X tools on my Mac. I also have "X11Forwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have installed xnest. But I guess I need either Gnome or KDE? How do I install Gnome via SSH? And do I need to configure it for a remote connection? Jacob

NO you do not need with gnome or kde to get SSH to work. I regularly ssh from this MacBook, into my debian box. I can send a copy of both my /etc/ssh/sshd_config & ssh_config I use synaptic, gimp, gqview, and other programs remotely. --- Rodney D.

Jon, By "the webpage cannot be found", do you mean a "404 Not Found" response? What URL are you using to make the request? I ask this because it is important to ensure, first of all, that your request is actually being received by Apache. If it is, there should be an entry in both the access and error logs with information about the request, such as the path of the file that Apache believes you are requesting. Unless you have specified an alternate location, such as with the "ErrorLog" directive, then I think you will find the error log in / var/log/apache2. HTH Bogart

Did zope leave something behind in /etc/logrotate.d after purging? If so, you should remove this and file a bug report. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com http://36pints.blogspot.com

No, not necessary. On my Leopard Mac, I go into the HD, then /Applications/Utilities, and fire up X11. This opens an xterm. In the xterm, I enter "ssh -X westk@myserver.mydomain.com", and log into my Debian box with my normal Debian password for "westk". Now I can run any of my apps by entering their name. For example, to run Iceweasel, I enter "iceweasel &". Here's some other examples: icedove & konqueror & gimp & mc mutt xterm & Just for kicks, I tried "startkde &", and interesting things happened. But by "interesting", I mean, "interesting like a train wreck". I bet you could get KDE to run properly, but it's more hassle than I'm willing to put into it. The full environment seems to clash with the OS/X environment. If I need KDE-ish stuff, I'd just run the individual apps, like "kwrite &". -- Kent

Have a look in /etc/logrotate.d for an appropriate entry. End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #3016 ************************************************** Received on Mon Dec 17 11:16:45 2007
