I would recommend when you make changes to make changes only to your
personal ~/.muttrc.  Changing the /etc/Muttrc defaults may leave you
in a spot where you can't fall back to something reasonably sane.

A lot of people say pgp when they mean any OpenPGP compliant program.

kgpg is also really handy if you use KDE.

   oops, it does not freeze right away, it freezes after few minutes (5 
- 10) of use of geocities.com (building a page etc.). It seems to freeze 
forever (forever = few hours, I killed it then)

   debian unstable
   mozilla-browser 1.6-1

   there are bugs (185582 against 1.3-2, 186817 against 1.3-4 and 1.5-3) 
filed that seem similar but it's hard to tell and there's no solution 
proposed...

invisible text menu/dialog boxes in sarge/kde


Hi all,

I've installed debian via debian-installer 
(http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) in a vmware environment. 
All went well, configured and so; however, when I enter X, I can't read 
anything on the menus. The text simply doesn't appear. Sometimes it appears 
for a brief period of time (split-seccond), but never stays. This happens 
when I go to menu button, as well as dialog boxes (for example in Control 
Panel).

I forgot, we're talking about kde of course ;-)

Any of you experienced the same problem? How did you solved it?

Thank you.
s

Have you tried the remote option?

 From mozilla --help
<snip>
-remote <command>       Execute <command> in an already running
                         Mozilla process.  For more info, see:

SMC wireless woes, need advise

After following wireless postings, I decided to try it out.  I bought a
SMC2804WBR router (802.11b,g w/wep and wap) and a SMC2835W PCIAM card.
After installing it on Win XP (dual boot w/libranet 2.8.1) my windows
broke!  I figured I would install it on the "easy one" first so I can
"see" it in operation.  Now the GUI is broken (tool bar and the tool bar
buttons/key short cuts don't work).  Ever try to fix windows without a GUI?

Then I tried it out on Libranet  Tried the support data base method, 
no-joy.
The card does not light up, no boot-beeps indicating pcmcia cards
found.  I went to www.prism54.org and followed their instructions (the
card in in their data base and is listed as working, that's why I bought
it).  These are the steps I followed:

1:  Using LN support database instructions, downloaded the latest 2.4.23
kernel patch (following the LN link) and installed it.

2:  Downloaded the kernel patch from prism54 and installed it.
Re-compiled the kernel with the prism54 option under networking selected
(you can find the directions under "readme" on the main page)

3:  Rebooted after the kernel compiled.  MISTAKE!  I had no network
apone reboot, but I was not worried as the drivers where not yet
compiled:  So, downloaded the prism54 drivers, make compiled pointing to
my kernel source by /usr/src/linux-2.4.23, make install clean, all asper
the directions in the readme.

Now I don't know what to do or how to do it.  Please note:  Windows
died, linux just has no network.  Hmmmmm so much for the "easy" install
in windows XP.

Question RE IDE Tape Drives


All,

I am looking to install a Seagate Travan 10GB/20GB IDE Tape drive into a
Debian box.

My question is, what kernel support would one build into the kernel in
order to get such a drive working?

My first thought would be to use the IDE-SCSI Emulation and then enable
the SCSI Tape support.  After that use the mt tools as if it were a SCSI
Tape device.  Would this work?

BTW, please cc me in replies as I am not a regular subscriber to this
list.

Thanks

I have a GeForce4 MX440 card; it works under XFree86 4.3, which is now 
available in the Unstable/Sid release. I'm running Testing/Sarge, so I simply 
pulled in the Sid packages via apt-pinning (apt-get install -t unstable x-
windows-sytem). YMMV

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols on install new kernel modules

I just built a custom kernel and modules, and got a bunch of errors
about unresolved symbols errors from depmod:

# dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.4.24advncdfs_1.0.2c-2+rb.2_i386.deb
i2c-2.4.24advncdfs_2.8.1-1+rb.2_i386.deb lm-sensors-2.4.24advncdfs_2.8.1-2+rb.2_i386.deb

[and many more]

This happened immediately after I installed the new kernel.  I'm
tempted to think this is just because depmod is running against the
current (2.4.21) kernel, but I don't recall seeing such warnings in
the past.

Here is some possibly related information and puzzles:

Sorry Folks... but XFree86 v4.4 is GPL incompatible:

to quote from http://xfree86.org/legal/licenses.html

----quote----
What about GPL-compatibility?

The 1.1 license is not GPL-compatible. To avoid new issues with
application programs that may be licensed under the GPL, the 1.1 licence
is not being applied to client side libraries.
----end quote----

This means that unless SOMETHING is done about the license, it has just
become Non-Free. Sorry.

Fork the codebase pre-X Oz License. Then continue from there as
something like "ReallyFreeX" or something.

It is a shame David Dawes has his head fairly well implanted somewhere
that stinks and the sun don't shine.
