Did the upgrade in June ñto Beowuld with fluxbox rather than desktop, and subsequently upgraded Beowulf twice. No major problems. The following may not be real problems, but thought best to throw them out for consideration. I initially had the problem of occassionally being unable to close a terminal (mlterm), but no longer. 1. .xsession-errors: xmodmap: unable to open file '/home/haines/.Xmodmap' for reading. Why no config file? 07:38:37.106 [AWT-EventQueue-0] WARN net.sf.jabref.JabRefGUI - There seem to be problems with OpenJDK and the default GTK Look&Feel. Using Metal L&F instead. Change to another L&F with caution. console.error: itdmanager: error Message: TypeError: session.kill.days.failed is not a function ALSA lib pcm.c:8424:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred ERROR alsa.cc:525 [pause]: snd_pcm_pause failed: Input/output error.

It seeks an SSL certificate and, finding none, breaks the connection. I worked around this by inserting the line 'sslproto " ' into .fetchmailrc. 4. exim The file /etc/exim4/passwd.client could not be read by exim. It was -rw-r----- 1 root saned 653 Oct 29 12:17 passwd.client and since I'm in saned group, I should be able to read it. I changed permissions to -rw-r--r-- to get SMTP authentication. 5. bluetooth In syslog: Nov 22 06:42:04 engels brltty[724]: DBus error: send message: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service file Solution was to install bluez 6. dmesg I find that $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.dmesg_restrict=0 enables user to run dmesg, but my impression this does not survive a reboot. Can't reboot now to check. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
