Is there a way to find out which repository an installed package came from? The various show commands list the path inside the repository, but not the repository itself.

I'm trying to find a good log checker.
Basically, I want it to report anything that I don't tell it to ignore.
I've tried logcheck first and when I couldn't get it to do what I want I tried logwatch. It has an ignore file that it says to just cut and paste what you want to ignore. I do that and it doesn't ignore it.
Some docs mention that its all based on regular expressions so I tried enclosing the lines in quotes to no avial.
I do neither perl nor RE: they're both too cryptic. I guess I'll .... read more

Today I installed a program that will let you record any sound coming from your speakers. It's a paid program and it's a reputable program but I noticed something after the reboot. Im not sure it's related or not. When I even move my cursor over a icon on my desktop it gives that windows sounds, like a critical beep.

Hi, Which tool can help me decode the Unix time? E.g., strings like 1257624539, 1258162046, 1257623988, 1257709563, etc. they are about 68 days ago.

I was a solaris only sysadmin for so long that I think of this as my home group of unix experts, so please excuse this cross-platform question...
If you have an enterprise of several variants of unix, and all get their rfc2307 unix profile from a central LDAP server, it seems like you would have to set the default shell in the LDAP profile to some lowest common denominator, like /bin/sh, and let the individual users deal with it on their own, like maybe spawning the shell of their choice (ma.... read more

Hi.
Is it me or is KDE v3.5.10s KMix v2.6.1 unmute button broken? I have to use Alsamixergui v1.00 to unmute Master stereo speakers for its audio to come back! Mute and volume controls work fine, but not unmute. It seems like KMix is not communicating with my ALSAs PulseAudio onboard audio (lspci showed 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller).
I am wondering why I dont get audio anymore even if KMix shows audio unmuted and at maximum volumes. At .... read more

I have a headless network server at home on which I am running Debian stable and the latest stable release of rsync. It was previously working fine, but now hangs the machine (or at least, it disappears from the network) as soon as my rsync client attempts to send the first file.
Anybody got any ideas how to fix this? Cheers, Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmaster@lists.debian.org
