First:
Root can start wvdial but all other users get the error:
$ wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyS0: Permission denied
But all this users belongs to the group tty.
Any idea?
Look at the permissions on /dev/ttyS0. It's typically group dialout, not
tty.
hmm but the users are in that group, too.
However I try to follow the manual from `matt zagrabeln'.
But I think it would work after reading. :-)
Second:
When I start applications or install something I get this message:
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
*or*
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "de_DE@euro"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
What can I do to fit the error-messages?
'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and generate the de_DE@euro locale?
Yeah, you are right. It would work.
Third:
After a short update from the ftp-servers cupsd never starts again.
$ cupsd
cupsd: Child exited with status 127!
$ cupsd -f
cupsd: relocation error: cupsd: undefined symbol: cups_strlcpy
What version of cupsys? You may want to file a bug.
I re-installed cups[d] and then my printer works fine.
And then after the update, too - I can't login on a normal terminal (not
X). But it seems so that only the users which has got umlauts or other
special signs in their password can't login.
Look in /var/log/auth.log for clues. Again, you may want to file a bug.
Here is my big problem.
I don't know how this file can help me. In this file are only reported
my fail logins.
But how can I fix my problem?
I think I need a file - which was modifided by apt-get update - which
says the console the encoding.
Do you know such a file?
And I think so, because _only_ the users which umlauts in their password
have a problem with the login. So I think that's a problem of encoding
or understanding between keyboard and console.
And when I type in my account-name, I see the umlaut-problem.
I have on the console only the english-keyboard driver. Any idea to fix
the error?
Fourth:
I use xchat 1.8.9 and everytime when someone type a umlaut - xchat can't
display this line correctly. So I think I need to do a update.
But every time when I practise to compile xchat 2.x - I get the message:
Woody:/tmp/xchat-2.0.1# ./configure && make && make install
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
configure: error: "Cannot find glib"
There's a backport of GNOME 2.2 to woody around somewhere.
xchat is gnome? I run it under KDE3. :-/
I _would like_ to run it... :)
But when I install glib - then glib needs a never version of a other
paket and when I install that - that needs a other paket - and so on.
(They're called "packages" in English, BTW.)
Sorry. :-(
You are alright. ;)
Yes, GNOME has a good deal
of complex dependencies, which is why the backport needs to exist.
Then I look up on your ftp-server -- what then happens have I already
shown -- but there wasn't any newer version of xchat then I have.
xchat 2.0.1 is in unstable.
hmm... okay then I wait till xchat 2.x becomes stable. :-)
Good Night everybody and
thanks `Colin Watson'
Sebastian
P.S.:
Everybody - who has said that I should split this mail - is alright, but
I wouldn't increase the traffic of your list.
But I will fix myself. :-)
