clamscan etc log perms, can't keep logs
by Gene Heskett 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

The default script that runs clamscan over a goodly portion of the system on a daily basis is haveing cron send messages to /var/spool/mail/mail, so I changed perms on that file so kmail could fetch it from the local mail box and set kmail up to do that. I find I had about 125k worth of messages because the scripts I copied over from the old drive aren't quite compatible with this install. I have fought tooth and nail with the system and it blanket denial of my ability to read a log file unless I either play with the parent locations ownership and permissions, so much so that I create in my home dir, a log subdir so that all these utilities could both write a log file and I could read it. I am eventually going to have to create some logrotate entries to handle maintenance on these log files, but at least I can read them. Which is the preferred method of dealing with this, my way, or hacking up owners and permissions all over the /var/log tree? Thanks.

k3b-trinity and blu-ray
by dep 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

greetings, folks . . . i don't know if this is a bug or if i'm doing something wrong here. the plan was to burn my 20-gig mail directory to a blu-ray m-disc for archive purposes -- m-discs are supposed to last without degrading for 1000 years. in order to burn blu-ray, i understand that i need to use cdrecord, which is fine. so i got and installed it, but k3b-trinity says it can't find it. oddly, k3b from kde4x found it just fine, and it works. i prefer k3b-trinity. but i have no idea what i can do to make it find cdrecord. additionally, i'd guess that because cdrecord overwrote whatever was there before, i can't use k3b-trinity for anything anymore. is this a known issue? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Knode
by Baron 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Hi All, I've got an odd problem. I've just installed Debian Jessie with TDE 14.0. For some reason, if I try to reply to a news (Usenet) posting using Knode, I get a pop up asking me to insert a valid email address in the Identity section. If I don't select any post then I get the expected new post window. I've deleted "knoderc" and recreated it, deleted all the groups and re-selected them without any change. I did use "apt install" to get knode since Jessie didn't come with it installed. Thanks for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron

Only when changing to Low or Normal I see the re-rendering behavior. Just my 2 cents.

No pulseaudio sound
by Robert Peters 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello, Using Synaptic I installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol. Running the latter in a terminal produces these messages: ** (pavucontrol:4086): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files /usr/bin/pulseaudio: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/pulseaudio: undefined symbol: pa_dbus_connection_unref Running Skype in a terminal also produces the second line above. Skype and the Flash player do not play any sound. And the Control Centre shows no reference to pulseaudio. Any ideas on how to make it available? Robert

I changed my sources to slaveks updates to R14.

Also in KPDF, similar behavior in the save as dialog, the file name changes as the cursor moves over file tree to select the proper folder...losing the file name in the process.
