Hi Mike,
Thanks for the link. Buying directly from ibm/lenovo or from a reseller
doesn't really matter, as long as windooze is not included.
But it looks like xtops just sells you a standard thinkpad, with linux
preinstalled, but still with the m$-tax included as well.
So not the right thing for me :-)

I guess it isn't possible to get the money for the license back from m$
neither ?

as user, the command gives as answer:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
As root, the command gives no answer at all.

There is no file dll.conf in kubuntu. There is only a dll.conf.dpkg-dist.
I always have written it in (hpaio), restarted hplip, but it doesn't work.

Hi
I'm looking for a program to chat with video and voIP, like msn
mesenger for windows. I already installed amsn, that works fine,
videoconferencing works, but no voIP. (and MS of course :-( )
I tried wqengophone, but thed client always crashed.
Is there anybody out there ( c by Pink Floyd) who knows a program that
fulfills these needs and just works?
Thanx
Al

Hi,
Recently I installed Ogle video player on Suse10.0, and once done, Ogle failed to start, printing several messages, I remember on previous installations that it is due to the file /etc/fstab which is incomplete; initial content is:
/dev/hda4 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
~
(assuming /dev/hda1 is used for windows partition);but it lacks something for the cdrom which should be mounted on /mnt/cdrom; I suppose this is why dvd cannot be read.
Unfortunately I modified this file, adding wrong parameters and since this time I cannot open any session on KDE or GNOME: when entering user name and passwd on KDE I have the messages: 'could not start kstartupconfig' and after I have 'could not start kdeinit'.
Anybody knows how to add an entry in the file fstab?
Thank you in advance for suggestions

Hi,
First i see that "/home" is not mapped to any partition. So "/home" is a
subtree of your root partition.
May it be that there is not enough space on the root partition for
user's ".*" data when logging in?
May it be that "/home" was originally mapped to it's own partition, and
that partition is broken for some reason? See if there is a "/home"
mapping in "/etc/fstab" and see in your system logfiles what happens at
boot.
Log in in console-mode as "root" and then do "su - <username>". Now you
should be in the login directory of one of your users. See if this
directory exists and seems "normal". Check user and group ownership,
check "user, group, other" permissions. User must have "rwx" on the
directory "/home/<username>" and on most content in it!

Hi,
I'm trying to ssh passwordless from a local to a remote machine (both
debian).
On the local machine I've generated a key and copied it to the remote
machine:
local#ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
local#scp id_rsa.pub remote.machine:/blabla
On the remote machine I have added the key to .ssh/authorized_keys:
remote#cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
Now if I try to ssh the remote machine I'm still asked to enter the
passphrase ...
local# ssh remote.machine
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':
Have I missed something ?
Thanks in advance,
yours,
kochi
Hello,
I am searching a Web Hosting Provider to host the web page of an ASBL.
What provider / hosting package would you recommend? The Hosting Package
should have the following features:
- .lu domain (the .lu domain is already registered (www.dns.lu) but the
Web Hosting Provider must provide a primary nameserver and do the
correct configuration)
- PHP 4 scripting support (MySQL not is not necessarly required)
- password protected directories
- 50-100Mb webspace
Greetings, Patrick
Hi all,
A server I installed at a friends office got the latest linux kernel, because
we wanted to set up a VPN. The machine runs a Debian (Knoppix) distribution.
We did'nt change anything to the hardware and also the new kernel is working
just fine.
A few days ago my friend had to reboot the machine and he noticed that eth0
wouldn't come up again. At his office I typed "modprobe via-rhine" and
"/etc/init.d/networking restart" and the network was working again.
So I thought that the module wasn't configured to be loaded automatically at
boot. I verified the file /etc/modules, which is responsible for module
loading at boot time and I noticed that there was indeed an entry for
via_rhine (on board NIC). But after reboot the problem remains the same, the
module isn't loaded (lsmod) and manually modprobing works. So I added a
script with a modprobe line to /etc/init.d/ and a sysmlink to it in rc2.d
also with no result !! I also tried to add an alias eth0 via_rhine
to /etc/modutils/aliases and did a modules-update.
This is all really strange, since we didn't change anything to the
configuration except the new kernel and before that the server worked
seemlessly by just flipping the power switch.
So what is it that I missed?
Best greetings
Hi,
I'm using Kontact on Kubuntu 6.06 flight 6, with especially the knode
(usenet) and akregator (RSS feeds) parts.
While I'm perfectly able to set the appearance (especially font size -
on my laptop the defaults are really small and hard to read) within
knode and the article display in akregator, I haven't found where to
set this for the kontact navigation bar (unimportant) and for the
feeds list and article list of akregator.
Can anyone point me to the right place, or is this indeed a bug or
missing feature in akregator?
TIA, Eric
