Debian User Forums

Fixed it: the local_part_suffix lines need to be in 900_exim4-config_local_user as well. If I'm going about this the wrong way, let me know, but it seems to work ok.

Hello, I'm trying to follow the exim documentation to allow suffixes on mailboxes for all users. For example, if user@domain is a mailbox, I want all mail directed to user-*@domain to be delivered user@domain. I've got the split-config-files option and have edited /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/600 to inc...

Thanks for the tips - it turns out that my ~/.kde/Autostart contained a script which xmodmapped things in a weird way - it used to work fine for making the special keys do useful things, but the codes must've changed in one of the upgrades and I'd forgotten it was there so it mapped a few things in ...

Hi there, Sorry if this topic is already on the forum, but it wasn't letting me search ("try again in a few minutes"). Anyway, I've just plugged in my desktop after a long time in storage, upgraded everything and found some of the keyboard keys don't work in X. All the standard typing keys...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I've had a look at the squeezebox boom too, but in the end I've gone for a Pure Evoke Flow (recommended to me elsewhere) because it's quite a bit cheaper, has really good reviews and uses a uPNP media server, so sounds pretty standards-compliant and platform-independ...

Thanks for the tips - I'll definitely look into the Soundbridge. Not interested in FM transmitters though - I want to be able to select what to play from the radio. Also, I don't have a radio in the kitchen at all at the moment and my file server doesn't have a sound card (no, not even onboard - it'...

Hi folks, I'm looking for a networked music player in a "radio" form factor (i.e. self-contained box with speakers that can sit on the kitchen windowsill). Ideally wifi, but I can run a CAT5 socket to there if absolutely necessary. It needs to be able to play MP3s from my file server (whic...

Not sure if it helps, but here's the groups my user is in and the KDE network manager works fine. Hope that helps!

I think it's the linux-source-2.6.xxxx package that you need. That guide is indeed excellent and it's what I've used to compile my kernel for a while now. The config for the currently installed kernel is in /boot.

Hello I have a collection of map tiles (JPEG images). I would like to be able to serve them using Apache with a google-maps-like interface, with dragging and probably zooming too. Is there any tool I can use to do this? I looked at OpenLayers and that seems to provide the interface but relies on ext...

Hi all I've been following various guides on the net to try to get my DHCP server to talk to my DNS server to tell it which hosts have appeared on the network. However, whatever I do I can't get it to work - the DHCP server provides addresses but nothing appears in the log of the DNS server, even wh...

Hi all I've been trying to get my new mobile phone (Nokia 6300) to synchronise with my address book and calendar (events and todos), but without success, so I wonder if anyone can help. My PIM stuff is all on an eGroupware server and I use the KDE apps (kontact, kaddressbook) or the web interface to...

Thanks for the command - nothing updated yesterday though. I've done an update today, thinking to patch anything which needed patching. Installed chkrootkit too, which reports: The following suspicious files and directories were found: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/.systemPrefs /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/.system...

I usually update it monthly, and hadn't just done an update. The computer's on 24/7 and yes, I was using it (by SSH and NFS - it's a headless machine) at midnight, but wasn't changing those files. Does that make it suspicious? Forgot to mention: it's the testing distribution on i386 (or is it called...

Hi all rkhunter reported issues to me this morning (log below). I don't *think* I'd just done any updates so it's not the usual report I get after upgrading packages. I know some other threads on this forum have reported issues with rkhunter giving false warnings, but if someone with a known- or tho...

It turns out that this is due to chrony updating the computer's clock. Xine assumes the computer's clock is correct and it's the soundcard's that is wrong, so it resynchronises the audio. Stopping chrony stops the glitches. This also explains why it only happens for a while after the machine has bee...

Update: Glitches 1 and 2 were fixed by replacing the awful Antec 350W PSU with a nice Tagan 420W one. Glitch 3 is due to Xine spotting that the local clock is out of sync with the sound card one, because chrony is trying to skew the local one back to the correct time. Stopping chrony stops the probl...

Here's my /etc/fstab : marge:/mnt/hdb1 /mnt/marge-hdb1 nfs rw,sync 0 0 marge:/mnt/hdb2 /mnt/marge-hdb2 nfs rw,sync 0 0 # etch32 chroot /mnt/marge-hdb1 /var/chroot/etch32/mnt/marge-hdb1 none bind 0 0 /mnt/marge-hdb2 /var/chroot/etch32/mnt/marge-hdb2 none bind 0 0 For some reason unknown to me, bind ...

Hi all I recently upgraded both the server and the net-boot client on my network, and now it's hit problems. The server is running testing and the client is running unstable . It boots using DHCP/PXE and loads a kernel image by TFTP from the server. That bit works fine. It's then supposed to mount a...

Well well well, I had no idea date had this feature. Why isn't it in the manpage?

Thanks very much!
