debian (knoppix) upgrade after re-install
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

I had installed Knoppix 3.2 on my machine. After doing apt-get update, some 60 - 70 mb worth of .debs had been downloaded and then installed on my machine. Now, the hdd has developed bad sectors. As the hdd is still within the warranty period, I have to return it to the vendor for testing which will destroy all my data on the hdd. the .debs have been saved on the hdd somewhere in /var/... (I don't remember the exact location -- I am not at that machine). my question is: If I back up these .deb files, will I be able to reuse them after I reinstall knoppix ? if so, how ? What other files do I need to backup ? What is the best way to get a working debian install on my machine with all the latest goodies like in knoppix ? (I mean the latest kde for eg, which in woody, even after upgrading via the net gives me kde 2.1.2 which is ancient :( ) I read somewhere that this is best done by installing just a base system from woody and then upgrading the base system to testing or unstable. I can't find this reference now so, any pointers are welcome. I am a newbie to debian. thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

Hello Friends, I have a CD of ELX Bizdesk Linux 2.0 which was given with the LFY magazine. It is fairly easy to install and good graphics too. But I have not used it for long. Is it easy to use like Red Hat ? Can we install new softwares in it from rpms or source ? I would like to know if anyone has tried this distro. Hey! also this distro is from a Indian company from Hyderabad. Replies Eagerly Awaited, Thanks. Suhas Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner online.Post your profile.

.Xauthority problem
by Abhijeet D Mhatre 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

Hi I login as root and do all my work. But there are times when I need to login as a user abhijeet and do my work especially when I have to commit my code to cvs. I do that using > su abhijeet > konqueror & This starts konqueror and then I use the cervisia plugin in konqueror and commit my work in CVS using the user abhijeet. This was working well untill yesterday when it started giving foll errors and konqueror (and other apps) refused to launch. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0 At the server end (The console form where I run startx) also it gives errors. X: client 16 rejected from local host. I suspected it to be a problem with the /root/.Xauthority so I replaced the file with a blank file. Now although it gives new errors, Session management error: Could not open network socket QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/lib/qt-3.1/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.1rc' knoqueror launches. But I need to replace .Xauthority with a new file every time reboot. If anyone knows the soluton or can throw some light on the problem please let me know. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre
