is unable to provide it at this time.  If you're running sid, it does
build out of the box without any problems from debian sources on amd64,

 So is the script only for producing packages for a new bi-arch system

 then maybe I could play around with the script to do what I need.

You can still use the original post + the patches posted for it to
convert i386 debs to amd64 pure64. The latest version though has
several things hardcoded to work the way I need it to at work due to
time constraints. I intend to generalize them again at some point

2005-09-29 Thread Max

Joost,

Quite a while ago I did the same on my Tyan S2875 and linux indeed started 
seeing all 4GB of memory.
BUT! As soon as application were trying to access high memory regions, the 
system crashed.

I would suggest first to test the memory usage.
The simplest test is copying a dvd image or a file of comparable size so it 
would get cached into memory.

Come on already, what system should people buy these days?  Intel and AMD

 If there are any packages currently known to be broken, I

 already when I found out about them, and the problem seemed simple).
Gnome-system-monitor is broken (in combination with a ia32 chroot /home

proposed-packages that should work.

If you have a look in the real settings when set to auto, you will see

No kidding.  What a wonderful little tool.  Especially the a-i option.

 Athlon64 3800+ X2 : Finally [EMAIL PROTECTED] at an affordable price.
 
 Couple of things which are of small annoyance:
 1. Abit hasn't released any spec on the uGuru chip, but I have found some 
 small program to atleast read the sensors. It would be _so_ nice to do 
 realtime OC'ing.
 2. SATA spindown is broken, atleast I believe so when reading the kernel 
 lists and hearing my 4 SATA disk spinning on full spaad all day long.

I know the libata developers are working on adding support for sending
low level commands to sata disks for things like smart monitoring and
spin down and such.  I am fairly sure it isn't supported yet.

 3. Sound cannot be captured directly from the PCTV Pro using btaudio - 
 because of bad wiring?

Ehm, input muted on sound card maybe?  No idea.

 4. The hardware sound controls on my USB-headset (a Plantronics GameCom Pro) 
 is not working - alsamixer works fine...

Well if the headset follows usb sound standards for the audio part, it
will work fine.  Any buttons on it are likely proprietary and would need
a driver written to handle them.  That probably isn't a standard part of
the usb audio specification.

 5. My Plextor DVD-burner hickups sometimes usning mkisofs/growisofs - reports 
 busy device or something like that.

Do you have the latest firmware on the drive?  My plextors work great,
although I did have a hickup early on with one of them when using older
firmware.  A firmware update fixed that.  Fortunately that can be done
from linux.

 A couple of questions:
 1. I'm thinking of buying a SATA controller to put in one of the PCI Express 
 X1 slots. Chipset is SiL3132. Is the support OK in recent kernels?

It is not supported in 2.6.8 or 2.6.12.  It has experimental support in
the libata patch for 2.6.13-rc7 though.  Not sure if it is included in
any released kernel yet.

 2. I'm thinking of changing the PCTV Pro to a Hauppauge! WinTV PVR500 MCE. 
 Anyone know if the support in ivtv is OK for this card?

Well so far I have heard great things for the 250 and 350 in ivtv.  If
the 500 really is just 2 x 250 on one card, I would imagine ivtv should
work with it to, but I have not heard from anyone with a 500 card yet so
I don't know.

Well so far the system is much much faster than the 2.8ghz p4 we also

Re: Kernel compilation failure

Stubbornly, I tried again (compiling 2.6.13.2 under 2.6.13.2),

binutils 2.16 fixed a bug, which unfortunately whacks older kernels'
assembly code.  I think 2.6.12 includes the fixes already.

This patch fixed the compile problems with the new binutils in 2.6.8 for
me:

The idea is that either YOU meet these people, or that somebody you trust did 
it for you, or that somebody you trust knows somebody he trusts who knows 
this trusty gal, who had a relation with a bloke, who met the guy at this 
congress wich he now trusts.

Thats what the web of trust is about.

Of course, if you implicitly and blindly trust those keys to belong to the 
people they claim to belong to, you could declare them to be trusted or sing 
them with your own private key.

You can either use gpg for that directly (see help, look for edit-key and then  
trust or sign) or, easier, use kgpg for a friendlier interface.

but ... do you really trust those keys ?

hopefully it helped.

Re: Kernel compilation failure

2005-09-29 Thread Gilles
Hi.

  
  Stubbornly, I tried again (compiling 2.6.13.2 under 2.6.13.2),
  and this time, it worked!
  And again, 5 or 6 times, no segmentation fault, no crash.
  

I spoke too quickly :-{
Seemingly, it was just a short-lived miracle.  Now I have these
general protection faults at every compilation attempt, each time
at a different step, and not always for the same program:

Sep 29 20:11:10 dusk kernel: [31047.241928] rm[11316] general protection 
rip:2aaac80e rsp:7f9c0fa0 error:0
Sep 29 20:21:16 dusk kernel: [31653.305200] mv[32625] general protection 
rip:2aaac80e rsp:7ffc1680 error:0
Sep 29 21:00:50 dusk kernel: [34026.992832] mv[21793] general protection 
rip:2aaac80e rsp:7fbc08b0 error:0


  But, even stranger, I also tried to compile a 2.6.10 and a 2.6.11
  kernel, and for those, I consistently get:
  
  [...]
 
 binutils 2.16 fixed a bug, which unfortunately whacks older kernels'
 assembly code.  I think 2.6.12 includes the fixes already.
 

OK.  This explains the other failures.


But for the problem above, I'm stuck. This was suggested (on the AMD
forums) as a possible cause:

-
Also, I (and many others) had horrible experiences with the Silicon Image
controllers on todays motherboards -- if your system begins to use swap
during build and you use SATA drive(s), your paged-out memory may 
occasionally be corrupted
-

[I have SATA_sil 3114 (BIOS 5.037) onboard.]


Also, other people seem to have the similar (?) problems, also with
Tyan Opteron MBs:

 http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0506.0/0052.html


Is there a way to be sure it is, or not, a kernel bug?  Or a hardware
failure?


Regards,
Gilles

The answer to the above post suggests a kernel bug.

And this one

 http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-06/3314.html

indicates the bug was intriduced in kernel 2.6.11-mm1.
From the rest of that thread, it would seem that the bug was 
eliminated.  But fail it still does... )-;

Hi,

As far as I can see, the official home of Debian for AMD64 is:
  http://amd64.debian.net/
There I wasn't able to find where to download packages for the
 stable/Sarge AMD64 port.

 That would be done either by using the folder structure:

 http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-amd64/pool/main/x/xfree86/

But that's where I went in the first place. I may have misunderstood
something, but this whole discussion started when you wrote that's not
the place to look for the stable version. I'm afraid I'm completely lost
now.

As I said the glibc packages there do provide /usr/lib64 and /lib64
links:

$ wget http://amd64.debian.net/.../glibc/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_amd64.deb
$ ar p libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_amd64.deb data.tar.gz | tar tzvf - | fgrep lib64
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2005-05-12 00:11:05 ./usr/lib64 - lib
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2005-05-12 00:11:05 ./lib64 - lib
$
$ wget http://amd64.debian.net/.../glibc/libc6_2.3.5-6_amd64.deb
$ ar p libc6_2.3.5-6_amd64.deb data.tar.gz | tar tzvf - | fgrep lib64
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2005-08-31 03:00:57 ./usr/lib64 - lib
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2005-08-31 03:00:57 ./lib64 - lib
$

It looks like the X11 packages miss a /usr/X11R6/lib64 link. If so
that's a Debian bug and it should be reported to Debian.

Gtk/Gnome software only english

2005-09-29 Thread antongiulio05
Hi,

2/3 days ago, after an updating (debian unstable), internationalization is 
disappeared (it was italian, now it's just english) for every gtk/gnome 
software. For KDE desktop env and software, no problems.
I have noticed (but I don't know if it's related) that google-bar on firefox 
(just english now) doesn't work (and word-translator by google is not working 
too).

Is it a common problem?
Can be it solved?

Thanks,
Giulio
