Hello All,
I installed my "new" SCSI CD burner and decided, why not go with a
fresh Debian Woody install, vice my old apt-get dist upgrade from
potato, I was running. Remember this is the machine that hadn't been
rebooted in over a year. The install went perfectly. But two things
are irritating me.
First, I wrote this script, about six years ago, to create my
.signature file:
#!/bin/sh
echo $(uptime) > ~/.hold
echo $(fortune /home/logan/text/quotes) >> ~/.hold
echo Registered Linux User 277727 GAIM ICQ 72101412 >> ~/.hold
cp -f ~/.hold ~/.signature
It is fired off by my personal cron and has worked perfectly since its
crude creation. Now the fortune portion no longer works. It works if I
run the script by hand, it works perfectly, but cron can no longer make
the fortune part work. Heh, look at my signature block! It smells like
a permissions problem, but since its my crontab firing it off, it should
work. I even chmod'd my quotes file and corresponding .dat file to 777
to see if that would work. It didn't. Any clues?!!?
Second, Galeon 1.2.5 is not remembering its preferences. I copy my old
.galeon directory to my new ~/ and it gets all of my old bookmarks but
not my preferences (tabbed browsing, tabs on bottom, popups in tabs
etc.) Googling has yielded no useful information, so any ideas will be
appreciated.
TIA,
The Logan
