MPEG to FLV (flash video) converter ?
Hi all! Is there a MPEG to FLV (flash video) converter for linux ? I've googled me silly, but didn't find one so far. Thanks and best regards, Hannes.
Re: upgrade and keyboard problems
It's a known feature that any Xfree update will possibly break an existing config. I filed this bug (overwriting the XF86Config-4) in June: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312101 Feel free to add info to the bug report. Best regards, Hannes.
No security updates for sarge ?
Hi all! I've been wondering the past few days why there are no updates via apt-get update/upgrade (I have the correct entries in sources.list!). A few days ago I was reading at heise.de (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/61076) that the security team seems to have disappeared. In a previous thread I was reading that some updates are in the queue, but have not been released yet. I've seen some debian core team members posting on this list, so maybe someone can clarify what's happening. Thanks best regards, Hannes.

sarge: last night's apt-get overwrites/changes /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Hi all! An apt-get upgrade last night broke my mousewheel. Furthermore the mouse speed has decreased. (several (all?) XFree86 packages were updated) The problem is that apt-get seems to overwrite/change the X-config file: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 So if you apt-get upgrade now, make sure you have a backup of that config file. Best regards, Hannes.

If it does neither, then it is bug that needs to be filed. Hi Roberto! Yes, there is definately something wrong, since it didn't ask aswell.

Bug filed: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312101 Let's see what the X folks say... Curious. I just used aptitude to update 'testing' (which still points to sarge, right?), got _lots_ of x-server stuff, but nothing rewrote my config file. Is there a difference between what apt-get upgrade does and what an update using aptitude does? Yep, testing should still default to sarge, since sarge is not released. I dunno if there is a difference between apt-get upgrade and aptitude. I actually never use aptitude. My XF86Config-4 was definately overwritten/changed. I just checked the file date again and the file time is the time I did apt-get upgrade. Well, actually it was not that big deal for me, since I also backup /etc. But for those who don't backup /etc it can be annoying, since dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 doesn't work all the time too (at least I had big troubles when I installed sarge earlier this year). Best regards, Hannes.

Based on a hunch, I am curious what is your debconf question prior setting? (To check it do dpkg-reconfigure debconf.) I think I never changed these, so they should still be at the default settings: What interface should be used for configuring packages? Dialog See only questions that are of what priority and higher? medium Is this always true? I wonder what is supposed to happen here if the default debconf question priority setting is critical? But even if the debconf setting matters, that doesn't mean it's not a bug. I think this type of configuration change should probably be considered at least critical. Agreed. Changing the X-config is absolutely critical. Best regards, Hannes.
