I use Gajim; It's not the smallest of leanest of programs, but it is by no means heavy. It's a Jabber client that can connect you to any JIM server of your choice. If you choose one that uses XML portals you can also connect to AIM/MSN/YIM/ICQ. Gajim is nice for me because I like programs that can r...

Too bad Iceweasel/Firefox plugins don't work in Galeon; I guess I'll continue using my crashy chroot (Although, I'm not sure if it's the chroot that's causing my system to lock up, seeing as it just happened to me without the chroot being active).

Yes, but make sure to install all of Nautilus' build dependencies first; apt-get build-dep nautilus should work.

Well, there's nspluginwrapper (and konqueror-nsplugins) that is supposed to work with 32-bit flashplayer-nonfree (FlashPlayer-9, really) and mozilla-flashplayer. If you're running Lenny or Sid, then mozilla-flashplayer hasn't worked for a couple of weeks now, and also flashplayer-nonfree has stoppe...

I'm looking for ideas on a good way to get Adobe Flash Player on my amd64 system. I don't like using flash in my day-to-day browsing, so I generally don't like having flash player in my main browser (Galeon). So to avoid that I tried making a 32-bit chroot to install flash player in, but it seems to...

If you don't want the program to start up at boot time just take it out of your startup scripts. ls /etc/rc2.d/ | grep talk You should see something like S60AppleTalk or S60NetaTalk (The number and name may vary, but it should be either of those two). Take the number, subtract it from one hundred, a...

You also may want to look into sshfs, I haven't heard much feedback about it, but it seems like it would easily get what you want done.

You're missing a dot character before *newsletter@reply.ticketmaster.com and a colon after From. I think that the recipe should look like this: * ^From:.*newsletter@reply.ticketmaster.com I'm not sure if the colon is essential, but the dot (period) definitely is. In regex terms, the dot means "...

Thanks, and since we're on the topic of the procmail recipe file, I have a question about sorting; I've never been able to get messages from mailing lists sorted correctly (I don't mean debian-user styled mailing lists, I mean ticketmaster updates, it tells me when bands I like are coming to my town...

I use Procmail with SA. Have your mail program (fetchmail, getmail whatever) pass everything to Procmail. Then you need to write a bunch of Procmail "recipes" into your .procmailrc to tell Procmail what to do with various levels of spam (some into /dev/null, some into a hold folder, etc.)...

Just to clear up a bit of confusion, you're right, but that's only for the specific brand of processors. Intel's later 64-bit processors would use the amd64 kernel.

Just thought I should clear that up, for thread archival purposes

I've been using Spam Assassin for a while now, teaching it the difference between ham and spam with the sa-learn technique. After a while my Spam Assassin was able to detect mails pretty accurately, but instead of deleting the message (Throwing it into /dev/null) the message still ends up in my inbo...

To scan your whole hard drive with clamav, this is the command I use (You can change it to your liking, of course): clamscan --move=/root/.quarantine/ --no-mail --log=/root/.quarantine/clamlog-`date +%D`-`date +%l:%M` -ri / Also before you use this, be sure to su into root and run a mkdir ~/.quarant...

I never really got around to looking for dedicated open source news sites. Most have an article worth reading (for me at least) about once a week if lucky. The rest are how the new Ubuntu can bring world peace. I wouldn't bother if I didn't have broadband. That's why I use Raggle as my RSS client; ...

amd64 if you want 64 bit, i386 if you don't care about 64 bit processing.

64 bit is somewhat more buggy than i386, but it's barely noticable. What is noticable in 64 bit processing is the speed increase, so personally I'd advise you to install the amd64 build of Debian testing.

aptitude remove linux-image-2.6-486 && aptitude install linux-image-2.6-k7

Your problem is that you have the 486 metapackage installed, which was probably done by the installer.

If I were you I'd read up on the newer package's depends and build-depends, install them all manually (In stable, of course), and then compile the package using dh_make. I forgot exactly how to do it, but check out this page for more information:

Lenny itself is Lenny/Sid...If you want the version to just be Lenny I suppose you could change the /etc/issue file.

But Debian Lenny is written as Lenny/Sid, even non-mixed systems. It's just the normal Debian behavior.

Well the upgrade went pretty smoothly for me, even with apt-listbugs complaining about 1 Apt bug, 2 Aptitude bugs, and loads of others. But still no direct rendering on my Intel drivers :cry: Try installing the libgl1-mesa-dri package. Enabled it for me. That worked perfectly, thanks! Now I can get...
