Disable the "sticky keys" in the KDE control center.
My bet is that you pressed the shift key for more than a few secs, and
activated that feature.

The mlabel command allows you to label DOS-like things.

on, you use a drive letter, like DOS, but something else configures
what the letters refer to. The /etc/mtools.conf file is used to
associate a device on Linux with a DOS-like drive letter.
I had forgotten the mlabel command. I will have to set up a
drive letter that points to the first USB flash drive just
for labeling. (Actually 4 entries for by USB card reader -
each slot is a SCSI
device.) If I get some spare time, maybe I'll grab the code
for mlabel, and see if I can modify it to accept /dev entries
directly.

Has anybody heard of Lenovo Thinkpad T61 support in Linux? I
have been searching everywhere and have been unable to turn
anything up. My current laptop just died on me two days ago
and I was thinking about the T61, I am willing to wait for
Linux support (although not long). I think the problem will
lie with the Intel Santa Rosa platform, does anybody know
anything about this currently working with Linux?

Dear friends,
As if things were not already bad enough, after updates
today, emacs stopped working on two different machines.
Remove and reinstall does not change anything. What can I do? Thanks!
Take care

Mikkel,thanks for the attention!
I'm quite sure that both of them will return error
We can only access the network through some kind of authentication.
BTW: Why the dns concerned?

Alright.
Some things to try are:open briefly.
Open up your access point (no encryption, authentication, ESSID is
broadcast, no MAC filtering) and see if you can connect. Your
security exposure is fairly minimal if you only leave it
It's not my access point, it's the university's. I have no
control over the router settings.
What gets reported if you do a "iwlist eth1 scan"? If nothing thencausing the
your system isn't even talking to the radio. If you get a list of
APs, then some higher level glitch like authentication is
problem.
[root@localhost ~]# iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 No scan results
However, there is something there:
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig eth1

I get the "Determining IP information for eth1...dhclient(4733) isfrom wired to

wireless. Just do a "kill 4733" (or whatever PID getsreported in the
error message) and try it again.
I didn't think of that. I'll try tomorrow at the university. Thanks.

Hi Nigel,few I would
Two more questions for you.
1. How would one add repositories to apt? I have quite a
like to add.
These are the 2 that I have in /etc/apt/sources.list in FC6.
# Add any local / 3rd party repositories here..
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/6/i386 freshrpms
rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org/ rpm macromedia
They are set out differently to the ones for the Fedora
repositories, as the
Fedora repositories are using a later version of Apt, which uses repo
metadata, so you see an entry like this for the Fedora repo's.
# Fedora Core
repomd http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/
fedora/linux/core/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/os/
Basically though, if you go to the site of a third part repo,
there are
instructions there for adding the repo to your apt
sources.list. Sometimes
you might have to add the necessary line to
/etc/apt/sources.list manually,
on other sites you can just click on a link, and the repo
will be added to
your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Either way you also need to download and import the GPG keys for the
repositories, so that the packages you want to download can
be verified.
I normally create a directory named "keys" in my /home/user
directory, and
download them to that location. Then cd to the keys directory
on the CLI, su
to root, and run. rpm --import <keyname>.
You need to be a bit carefull about having too many third
party repositories
enabled when doing an apt-get update. You can get some nasty package
conflicts when subsequently doing an apt-get dist-upgrade.
2. How do I exclude kernels from being updated?
Not sure about this using Apt, as I always let the kernel
updates go ahead.
But I can see the kernels on the Grub menu, and you can't. No
text to speech
at this stage. I'll post the question to Panu at
apt-rpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Perhaps he will have a suggestion.
Nigel.
Btw. I apologise if you don't understand some of what I've
said. I'm sighted,
but find it difficult explaining something that I can see, to
someone who is
blind. Perhaps I should just speak to you, just like I would
with a sighted
person, perhaps leaving out the GUI stuff.
the CLI, at

Hi Scott. You will find the grub config file, as root on
you boot/boot/grub/grub.conf.
There are a couple of lines you can make changes to. One is named

from 5 to 30up, Grubs menu will be shown, showing you all available kernels.
Also you can change the "timeout" line. changing this

If you are using Apt for getting updates to the system, apt-get

If you are using Yum, it only saves as default, the 2 latest
kernels. You can change this behaviour by editing
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf
. Just change the line "enabled=1" to "enabled=0" . This will
disable the plugin, and subsequent kernel updates will

Quick fix is to rename the .kde directory in your home
folder. When you start a new session the folder will be
recreated. Copy over any bookmarks or other customizations
later after you have logged off.

My current laptop just died on me two days ago and I was thinkingworking with
about the T61, I am willing to wait for Linux support (although not
long). I think the problem will lie with the Intel Santa Rosa

Linux?
Display driver for the 965GM (which is used in some Santa Rosa

WLAN is not yet supported afaik. And with such new there is
always a risk that new Audio-Codecs or other yet-unsupported

Hi;
I had the same problem -- I think. Easy to fix.
On mine /usr/bin/emacs had been removed by the emacs package
and replaced by has emacs-22.0.99. A simple bash alieas, or
hard/soft symbolic link or change the launch command in a
desktop launcher served as temporary fixes until a new
package is created.

I'm quite sure that both of them will return error
We can only access the network through some kind of authentication.Your hostname needs to be resolvable on the local machine.
BTW: Why the dns concerned?
This can be through any of the methods listed in
/etc/hosts.conf. You will get a DNS timeout delay if it is
not. (An entry in /etc/hosts is enough on most systems.) The
reason X needs to be able to resolve your hostname is because
it is a client/server system. It will try to resolve your
hostname as part of the startup process, and you will get a
fairly long delay while it tries. (This is also why
restarting X when you change your hostname is a good idea.)
The thing that people tend to forget is that X is a network
service. It is designed so that the programs or even the
entire desktop do not have to be running on the machine that
where the X server is running on. (The X server is the part
reading the keyboard/pointing device, and driving the display.)
Oh yes, X is not the only service that will have problems if
you hostname does not resolve properly.
