similar to: adding winehq debian repository to apt-get | synaptic

hallo i'm running mepis (debian unstable) and if i install wine from the regular (non-wine specific) deb repositories, I get wine 20041019. if I install from wine.sourceforge, I get 200501011. with the former, the application seems to lock up much more often. with the latter, the ability to play the movie (e.g. to see which audio stream to include) is disabled. i see from this screenshot

I added the winehq debian repository to apt-get | synaptic (I am running mepis 3.3) and would like to install those rather than the debian official unstable builds but since the winehq repository is also marked as part of 'unstable' distro I can't find a way to distinguish the wine / winelib provided by winehq from the official ones (which would need the many winelib-* packages)

Hello there friends & foes, I've had if with M$ windows! Next week I'll sabotage my shop (how 'bout password protecting dualboots on WS) and force LINUX down my users' throats ;-) (oh, don't I like this tone... makes me feel Billy G.) Oops, showstopper! ACL enabled network filesystem, where is it? I can't go with alpha code nfs4, so is there a patch to the smb

hello all, I am trying to print a ps file as part of a function as in: func <- function (..., filename="temp.ps") { # some stuff [...] # plot eval( cat("postscript(\"",filename,"\")\n", sep="") ) plot(...) abline(...) dev.off() # more stuff [...] } but it does not work. Nor it does with 'paste' instead

Just got dovecot running inside MEPIS 3.3.2 SOHO (debian). I am impressed. It works really well and I am planning to move my mail away from my Win server and access the mail from dovecot using imap. I have copied some folders from my existing Outlook mail system into the imap mail server without any problems....so here is the dumb question: where are the mail files/folders stored on the MEPIS

Hello all, I am using libraries (mva,cluster) to produce dendrograms. With 1000 examples the dendrogram gets too crowded, and i am wondering whether there is an option (which i cannot find) to set the number of leaf nodes, like in matlab, and return the plot and the assignment map examples -> leaf nodes. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks Edo

Apologies as this is is not a specific libvirt question. Is qemu-img convert compatible with thin-provisioned LVs as targets ? I wanted to convert a file-based image to a LV image where the file-based image has a capacity much larger than the actual data it contains, so it has a small footprint on disk (either a qcow2 or a raw, but sparse, image). If I use qemu-img convert -O raw ... with a

I have installed wine on my mepis 8.0 desktop and laptop. Wine runs Netscaper Navigator on the desktop but not on the laptop. Why??? (newbie asking). I'm on the desktop now asking the question---

Hi All, I'm still having significantly difficulty getting the quantreg library running in R. I'm running R on MEPIS using the debs created by Dirk Eddelbuettel and placed in apt testing. When I try to install quantreg using the install.packages() function it fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas-3 Dirk was nice enough to send me a .deb for quantreg which installs without

Hi, I am using the following R version: > R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) > Copyright (C) 2006 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing > ISBN 3-900051-07-0 I believe I found a bug in the 'hist' function, when 'probability=TRUE'. I looked in the archives and I came across problems with the 'hist' functions (e.g., bug PR# 944, posted in 2001), however, a

Hello there, I'm running 2.2.5 compiled with ACL and LDAP auth. The PDC used to work flawlessly using smbpasswd but I want to dual boot the workstations to Linux so I need a centralized LDAP authentication repository. Once I reinstalled the LDAPized samba I started populating the directory with the "well-known" identities using the smbldap tools (bear in mind I'm more of a

Yes, that's right! I tried a search, but the (Google) search engine told me that I don't know what I am talking about! I downloaded an application DfuSe, and tried to install it. Wine installer told me that I needed another program and offered to download. I agreed, but this was unsuccessful. However the Install Wizard went ahead and installed. But trying to run was a failure. Today, I

Hi, I'm working on a MEPIS (Debian-based Linux) computer, using the emacs/ESS package to do my R work. I've got some plots that I label interactively using the locate function. With the Windows GUI there is an option to take a snapshot of the graphics output, saving it as an image file. Is there a way to do this with emacs/ESS? Thanks, Tyler

Hi all - I'm a first-timer here, and have been trying to install Wine from the new "Wine for Debian users" site (I'm using Mepis Linux which is Debian-based). I'm wanting to install the latest version (20050111-1), and have used the "force version" option in Synaptic to do this. I've tried this several times, but each time I get a "connection

Hi, I am new to asterisk. I have downloaded Asterisk and Zaptel from the cvs root.

Hi All, I'm trying to install the quantreg library on my MEPIS box (debian-based linux). When I try >install.packages("quantreg") it fails to loads and errors with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas-3. I tried installing a ton of packages to fix the missing part but the only thing I manage to do it cause problems with another shared library and had to re-install a couple of
