Re: U1E hangs on make under Debian latest stable.
On Tue, Apr 08, 2003 at 06:38:41PM -0700, Ian McKee wrote: U1E #1 will always hang during a configure/make/make install procedure. In particular, during make of libxml-2.5.6, or bash-2.05a, the machine hangs, becomes unresponsive to input, and requires a hard power off to reboot. After this the disk must be fsck'd to reboot. U1E #2 does not hang during any make procedures I have tried. To me it sounds like you probably have a harware problem with U1E #1. Compiling often brings out hardware problems since it taxes the hardware. Try some other method of getting a high load on the machine and see if you can get it to lock up that way. My guess is the problem might be in the memory. Try swapping memory between the two machines and see if the problem machine switches. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
Re: Debian in a Ultra10

I have an Ultra10 workstation and I´d like to know if it´s possible to install Debian Linux in that system. If it´s possibly, what is the best way to do this ? Yes it is possible to install on an Ultra 10. The best way to do it depends on the particulars of your setup, but with Sparc hardware you probably want to do a network install. Take a look at the Installation manual [1] and the Getting Debian page [2] for details. 1. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/install 2. http://www.debian.org/distrib/ -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |

First, are you sure that you have the proper nfs packages installed? Check by typing dpkg -l nfs-client . Next, try mounting the partition with fewer options. For a first try, just use the defaults. If that works, add back in your options one by one and see what happens. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
Re: netscape 476 pkgs for sparc?

No amount of searching via google would turn these up. I have got mozilla m18 working but i am much more comfortable in 476 and need https, which i don't think mozilla has right now Well, as far as I remember from the last time this came up, netscape versions for Sparc Linux only went up 4.5. And it was supposed to be available at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/english/4.5/unix/unsupported/linux20_sparc_glibc2/complete_install/. Check the list archives for details. As for mozilla, new versions are available in unstable and testing now (though I think they're still in non-US). I would suggest trying a new version of mozilla, (though you might have to upgrade to testing to do it). Newer versions support https and a lot of other stuff that wasn't in M18. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |

Re: mouse/keyboard configuration for XFree 4?
Thanks. As it turned out I did have xbase-clients 4.0.1 installed. My problem was I had the XkbRules option wrong - I had left it as xfree86, when its supposed to be sun for sparc hardware. Oops. So for anyone else with similar problems the correct keyboard info was: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules sun Option XkbModel type4 Option XkbLayout us EndSection Thanks, Jim On Mon, Dec 04, 2000 at 04:11:58PM -0200, Leonardo Rochael Almeida wrote: check that you have xbase-clients installed. I had a keyboard problem when upgrading from 3.3.6 to 4.0 on an Intel. backspace sudenly stoped working. Well, actually it worked as Del, which is anoying. When I went to check the error messages it complained about not being able to load XKB map same as you, but in a line before that it complained about not finding xkbcomp, which, I later found out, comes with xbase-clients, so you might want to check that.
