nvidia drivers not working in linux-2.6.14

[trango]

Hi friends,
I've just installed the new kernel as I heard (I think) it solved the
problems with smp in amd64 with the clock and everything went
completely normal  until i recompiled the nvidia module for this new
kernel to startx. it doesn't load the module saying telling me about
an inexpected symbol.
I followed the usual instructions:
- make-kpkg modules_image
- dpkg -i nvidia_blabla.deb
- (i even tried uninstalling the previous module although i was sure
it wasnt going to do any better)
- (i also tried reinstalling nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev)

and i didn't make it. does anyone know a solution?

thank you

upgrading libc6

[trango]

Hi everybody,

During my last upgrade  libc6 package was supposed to bee upgraded but
it didn't as an error saying it didn't find /usr/bin/ldd showed.
Digging a bit I saw that it is actually libc6 (and ia32-libs) who
provides /usr/bin/ldd so I can't figure out how to solve this. I made
a crappy ln -s from /usr/bin/lddlibc4 to /usr/bin/ldd but it didn't
work either, and also I tried commenting the ia32 libs in the
/etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig afterwards.

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

if anyone is  inteerested i solved it simlinking /usr/bin/ldd-ia32 to
/usr/bin/ldd . and it  worked. i suppose it isnt a pretty good idea to
do it but... it worked :)

java for firefox?

[trango]

Hi everybody.
I was just wondering why can I simply say to konqueror the path for
the java binary and make it work (not as nice as i would like, but
definately works) and I can't find a way to do the same for firefox,
which I would prefer to use as I'm used to it. Does anyone know any
way to make it work just as konqueror?

Thanks

nvidia in 32bits chroot

[trango]

Hi everybody,

I've tried playing Enemy Territory using the ia32libs but for some
weird reason it doesnt work any well. As I'm sure it does work in
pure32bits (i've tried) I tried to install it in the chroot and run it
in another X (run from the chroot) but I found I'm not able to make it
see the nvidia kernel module. As the system is working with a 64bits
kernel I'm not able to compile the module or even to make it work in
the chroot. Have any of you been able to? thanks

qmail grrrrrrrrrrr

[trango]

Hi everybody,
I've had plenty of problems while installing my qmail+vpopmail server
in athlon64, mostly because the only way i manage to install nice is
via apt-get install qmail-src (not available in amd64). It was
important to me to get it working so yesterday when i got my athlon64
it was the first thing i got into just right after installation. After
trying installing it djb-way i surrendered when i couldnt get vpopmail
to compile and made the install in a 32bit chroot. Then I spent a long
time to see how i could make a init script that started my
qmail+vpopmail in the chroot. i made it. after that i started reading
doc about amd64 and debian, so i found that stuff about the chroot,
dchroot, the do_chroot script and so. And trying it I fucked up the
/home partition in the chroot, so my vpopmail crashed and everything
got bad.
Has any of you managed to install qmail+vpopmail in 64bits? If someone
has and can please tell me how you compiled vpopmail.

thanks in advance
