ssh-add password question at login

I always forget how to get the password dialog at X start-up that allows me to enter the the ssh key password. It is pretty simpel:

  • Install ssh-askpass.
  • Add ssh-add to the autostart of your favourite window manager.

That's all.

CUPS and ghostscript

If you get the following error message while printing in Debian

cups unsupported format 'application postscript'

it could be, that you are missing the package <i>ghostscript-cups</i>. This is a recommended package for cups but normally I do not install recommended packages.

This is the way to make sure recommended packages are installed:

aptitude install --with-recommends PACKAGE

Or make it permanent by adding to you /etc/apt/apt.conf:

APT::Install-Recommends "true";
