I had a similar issue with my 5 year old logitech mouseman wheel, I
filed #287934[1] for this. This behaviour was not present in 2.6.8 but in
2.6.9 and 2.6.10. I now have a mx510 and everything is fine (wanted to
replace the mouse nonetheless).

Of course, amd64 kernels are officially supported by the Debian Kernel
Team. Since the bug is already known, you could send in more
informations.
Usually you have to open the bug against the kernel image you are 
experiencing trouble with.

Kind regards

USB mouse stops working intermittently with dmesg errors: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received

2005-01-18 Thread Nick Hemsley
   When I am using a microsoft usb wheel mouse optical, the mouse 
freezes randomly. The mouse will stay frozen until I unplug/replug it.

dmesg reports a truckload of this message:
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received
until I replug it. no more messages appear until the mouse freezes (I 
think & assume).

Does anyone have any idea what -84 means.
I would bugreport this to kernel, but I am not sure if they will accept 
amd64 bugs. Where should I report this bug?

Cheers - Nick

That usualy means the mirror is broken.

Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

2005-01-18 Thread Peter Nelson
I had similar issues on i386 when using both the fglrx drivers and the 
radeonfb console frame buffer.  Try disabling your console frame buffer 
(or maybe loading vesafb instead of radeonfb?) and it should be fine.  
Obviously a sub-optimal solution, but I think accelerated X11 is far 
more important than accelerated console.

"Couldn't download apt" when debootstrapping sid-ia32 into chroot

2005-01-18 Thread Clive Menzies
Hi

I just took delivery of a Acer 1524WLMi (AMD64) and after shrinking the
XP partition using qtparted (from OSSwatchKnoppix), installed a sarge
i386 system and a sid-amd64 system using the sarge-amd64-netinst.iso
from 9 Jan 2005.

Everything installed fine pretty much out of the box and this thing
really flies using the 64bit kernel - great work guys ;)

However, I can't play and be impressed forever - I need to do dome work
;) which requires Open Office.

So following the excellent Debian GNU/Linux AMD64 HOW-TO I did:

debootstrap --arch i386 sid /var/chroot/sid-ia32 \
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian

I got:
"W: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
was corrupt"

and after "Checking ... " a whole list of packages it baulked on apt
with the message in the subject above.

Is this a temporary mirror problem or something more serious?

Many thanks

Re: Marvel Yukon gigabit LAN on Gigabyte K8NS Pro

2005-01-18 Thread Mahmoud Al Gammal

It worked!...the installer won't modprobe it correctly (or the
other card I tried), but after the system reboots I was able to
add it manually as you said & configure networking so that
installation can go on.

Again, for newbies (like myself) or the clueless...all you have
to do is:
- Let the first stage of installation proceed normally. Don't
worry about it not being able to detect the networking hardware
- When the system reboots and base-config starts, ALT+F2 to the
second terminal & do "modprobe -v sk98lin". If that succeeds,
assign  the IP, gateway, etc...and you're all set.
- ALT+F1 to the first console & everything should be fine from
now on (of course you'll need to edit the network configuration
files for the settings to be applied each boot)

Thanks,
Mahmoud

Do note that anything that's on hold won't get upgraded by 
dist-upgrade.  I have ssh on hold to a version I built myself and it 
doesn't get upgraded with dist-upgrade.  You probably have a package on 
hold that's been updated and causes other things to break.

For sbuild there is "-d/--dist=" and that somehow gets
passed to dpkg-buildpackage and I would just check the sbuild source
for it.

Re: /usr/X11R6/lib64 link missing?

2005-01-18 Thread Jacob
yes it does, although after my last update I had to link the libs
into /usr/X11R6/lib for X to find them.

possible (read most likely) an X config error on my part.

As Rafael just noted, the default Makefile in the synaptics source 
uses /usr/X11R6/lib64 when /bin/arch returns x86_64.  

This is actually exactly what I was doing (compiling synaptics from source) 
when I noticed the missing link...

I'm not sure, but I believe the nvidia installer from nvidia.com also 
uses /usr/X11R6/lib64.  Of course, neither of these examples pertain to 
debianized source trees, so I guess the responsibility for creating the link 
rests with the user

Re: apt wants to remove 526 packages!!?

2005-01-18 Thread Jacob
side note, I just tried this on my workstation running AMD64 unstable
and it came back with nothing to remove but a 38x to install (mostly
kde/gnome).

my a test server running sid also came back with nothing to remove but
it doesn't have X installed (hence no kde/gnome/.)

Try something as apt-get install kde?

Re: apt wants to remove 526 packages!!?

2005-01-18 Thread Jacob
I've seen this before when apt hits a broken package or a package that
depends something that is not in the "lists" yet. cups or one of it's
libs did it last time to me, tried to make me remove kde and all it's
packages. Easiest solution is to only update the specific packages that
need to be updated and hold off on the dist-upgrade until the package
maintainer gets time to update the broken/missing package.

Any warnings about missing/broken packages?

Did you change your sources.list at all since the last update or install
any experimental packages? Are you runnnig sid or sarge?

nvidia driver + agpgart a8v

2005-01-18 Thread Bill
Hi,
I am having some trouble enabling agpgart in debian unstable.  I am
running the x86 version of debian, though I am posting to this group
because I am running an Asus AV8 Deluxe (chipset K8T800Pro)  running
linux 2.6.10 (I compiled with Atholon64 on-CPU Gart as
modules, /dev/agpgart as module), on boot the modules seem to be
loaded
"agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 816M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xdc00"


"nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
ACPI: PCI interrupt :01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module  1.0-6629  Wed Nov
3 13:12:51 PST 2004
NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!
NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!"

Yet the status of my nvidia (using the latest driver version) module
in /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status is 
"Status:  Disabled

AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file
for additional information on this problem.",
X (XFree86 4.3 as provided in sid) runs noticably slow especially in
gnome (2.8).  I am currently running with NvAGP mode 1 the X
configuration (XF86Config-4), though I have tried 1-3 and none seem to
work.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you need that symlink for anything?  Afaik, nothing in Debian
needs that symlink and if it does it means it needs to be fixed.

apt wants to remove 526 packages!!?

2005-01-18 Thread Alexandru Cabuz
Hello,

I usually do a 
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

every couple of days. When there are bugs I just put packages on hold
and wait it out, and after a month I try them individually, and if
they are still buggy, then I leave them on hold.

I decided tonight I was sick of this, so I would do apt-get dist-upgrade.

It says it needs to update 6, install 12 new ones, remove 526, and hold 20.

Now I am afraid to do this. 

Remove 526 packages!!? What's going on? Will my system still work? It
took me a long time to get it to this point, and I would __hate__ to
have to start all over if things get messed up.

/usr/X11R6/lib64 link missing?

2005-01-18 Thread Theodore Kisner
I just switched my laptop from the gcc-3.4/4.0 branch back to pure64.  In the 
process I noticed that the /usr/X11R6/lib64 -> /usr/X11R6/lib symlink 
disappeared.  Not sure if it's something I did wrong, and of course no big 
deal to create the link once I discovered it missing.

I just wanted to point it out in case others run into the same problem...

NVidia Programs

2005-01-18 Thread Ed Murray
I have just set up a new AMD64 System. I am new to the Debian-AMD64
build though the system is running extremely well. It installed quickly
and so far I am having very little trouble with it. I have (I think)
properly installed the NVidia drivers. All OpenGL programs are so far
running correctly. In addition nvidia-settings is also running
correctly. 

However when I try to run nvtv I am getting a segfault:
nvtvd[8089]: segfault at  rip  rsp
007fb498 error 14
I also getting a segfault with nvclock.
I am using a Geforce FX 5700LE on a ABIT AV8 motherboard. The system is
otherwise rock solid.
Can anybody confirm that these programs functioning correctly on the
AMD64 System? 

nvtv0.4.7-1
nvidia-kernel-2.6.101.0.6629+1-1+1
nvidia-kernel-common1.0.6629+1
nvidia-glx  1.0.6629+1-1


Also can anybody confirm that TV out will work with this card or similar
on this platform.

Regards
Ed Murray

X server can't display 1280x1024 with mga (G550) and LCD Samsung 193P

2005-01-18 Thread Arnaud ESPANEL
Hi,
I already post this in debian-user (2 days ago, no answer for the 
moment), but the issue is not clear for me and may be related to amd64 
arch.

I used to work with a CRT IIYAMA monitor at 1280x1024. Recently, i
switched to a Samsung 193P LCD monitor, and couldn't get 1280x1024
anymore :
X starts normally, but the screen remains black and displays a message
indicating it looks for an analog or digital signal.
I only managed to get 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480.
The monitor/video card seem to work well, as win98 works correctly at
1280x1024 with the 193P.
(see below for more details on my configuration/log)
I suspect a misconfiguration or an issue with the mga driver...
Any ideas?
Configuration :
Linux no2 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 #1 Sun Jan 9 18:25:28 CET 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Graphic card : Matrox G550
Monitor : Samsung 193P (max res = [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Monitor and video card are connected with DVI ports.

Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

2005-01-18 Thread zeeman
Hi!
use the --force-overwrite switch of dpkg.
OK it worked.
Now I tried building kernel module. All fine. 
ERROR when insmod: undefined symbol pci_find_class in module

so I edited agpgart_be.c replacing pci_find_class with pci_get_class
(from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/pci.txt) and the module loads fine
into the kernel, and I can see it with lsmod.
Same problem and solution here.
But now if I run startx I get an error message saying flgrx module
can't be found! :(
You have to add the following lines in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 in 
your Files-Section:

Section "Files"
[...]
ModulePath  "/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules"
ModulePath  "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"

Looks like your package makes it try and link a 32bit object into the
64bit kernel module, so most likely the driver package includes both and
you got the wrong one.  The wrong file appears to be libfglrx_ip.a.GCC3

Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

2005-01-18 Thread Cyril Chaboisseau
 Hi,

I succeded in building all the fglrx packages with
apt-get -b source fglrx-installer and by replacing the original
fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6.i386.rpm with fglrx_4_3_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm + adding
amd64 to the Architecture -> debian/rules binary

then I installed fglrx-4.3.0-control-qt3 fglrx-4.3.0-driver
fglrx-4.3.0-kernel-src with dpkg

finally I tried to recompile the kernel + modules (make-kpkg) but failed
towards the end :

[...]

elf64-x86-64 (/usr/src/modules/fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6/fglrx.o) is not supported 


any idea how to correct that ?

I have gcc 3.3 and 3.4 installed and gcc 3.3.5 is used by default

I would, but reportbug segfaults on me.  I had this problem early in
December but it went away again around December 14 after a libc

And I'm not really sure what the easiest way to do this is.  Is
there some option I can give dpkg-buildpackage or sbuild or
whatever to change it?

I tried just alien-ing the rpm but fails because it tries to overwrite

I added the following diversion manually:
diversion of /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by fglrx
$ man dpkg-divert
Then you don't have to worry about --force-overwrite or other options,
it will just work and leave the original file intact (renamed).

 is the agp correctly probed? For example I get:

 I have a radeon9200 and I used to have the proprietary driver on my
previous i386 architecture. On AMD64 I'm using the opensource drivers
getting ~2000fps with windowed glxgears (~130 fullscreen), so fully
accelerated.

MB report: Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 (sound and sata problems)

2005-01-18 Thread Egon Willighagen

Hi all,

as mentioned on [1] Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 is working. For me this is mostly.
SATA is only working for the first device, second and third are not working.
With the 2.6.10 kernel (-9-amd64-k8-smp deb) it now correctly recognizes the 
02 revision:

> lspci | grep SATA
:03:0b.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology 
Inc) SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)

But it does not find the second HD, nor the SATA DVD rewriter:

> cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: ATA  Model: Maxtor 6B200M0   Rev: BANC
  Type:   Direct-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 05

Sound used to work, until last week, with an apt-get upgrade this 
functionality got lost. The driver mentioned on [1] is loaded:

Man page problem in the pvm_dev package

2005-01-18 Thread Per Bojsen
The pvm_dev package has some problems with man pages.  I am getting
numerous errors such as the following from the mandb cron job:

  mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/pvm_kill.3: No such file or directory
  mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/pvmfkill.3.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' 
request

pvmfkill.3.gz does indeed reference pvm_kill.3.  However, the package
chose to name the latter pvm_kill.3PVM and hence mandb cannot find the
reference to pvm_kill.3.  A bunch of the pvm_* pages have the .3
extension while another group has .3PVM.

Has anyone seen this?

 I have the very same motherboard, but I didn't use the built in
marvel LAN adapter during installation. I can tell it works, and its
module is sk98lin (under kernel version 2.6.10, and very likely with
older versions). Try to disable the firewire port from the bios (which

Small update. Q did build a few new packages but he didn't override
the distribution to testing in the changes file and the packages ended
up in sid. The sid->sarge propagation (see below) should take care of
that at some point so I keep them as is as testcases.

As for the sarge port, yes, everything is waiting for me and I'm sorry
for the delay.

But the debian amd64 port is far more than the sarge port and both
pure64 sid and the gcc-3.4/4.0 build repository are fully staffed and
working.


If you are specifically interested in getting sarge more in sync with
the official sarge you can join the team and familarize yourself with
the existing software and help script the missing bits and pieces.

What I'm currently stuck on is getting packages build for sid to
progress into sarge when they do in the official sarge but only if
that doesn't break our sarge. If you want to help out there you should
be familiar with Packages/Sources file syntax and graph theory.

Your multitasking problem might be related to the way the new
scheduler in 2.6 works. I've got the same problem when running
applications that starts two or more communicating processes and when
the total application is running 100%.

The worst such application I know is modelsim. It starts one process
for the HDL-simulator and one for the TCL-interpreter. In many cases
are the HDL-simulator driven by TCL-scripts. In such cases can you end
up with both processes running 100% and communicating all the time.

The default 2.6 scheduler boost the priority for a process waking up
another process, and also boost the newly woken up process. In the
modelsim case is both processes boosted by the scheduler, and other
processes suffer soo much that the computer isn't usable for other
tasks at the same time as modelsim is running.

The simple solution for this problem is to run modelsim under nice
higher than 0. The 2.6 scheduler don't seem to boost applications with
nice>0.

2.4 don't suffer from this problem at all, I've tested on the same
hardware with the same applications.

Another week has gone, and still no update of /debian-pure64
testing. Is the "unofficial sarge for amd64" dead?

Is the whole amd64 port of debian dependent of one person (Goswin)???

Fwd: [Ndiswrapper-general] 1.0rc3 availabel (with AMD64 support)

1.0rc3 is now available. It now supports AMD64 (in 64-bit). Only
Broadcom has been tested with this. WEP works fine. However,
wpa_supplicant seems to crash, so WPA doesn't work (yet).

Another useful feature is that ndiswrapper now loads a driver/device
only when necessary. So you can install as many drivers as you may
ever use and ndiswrapper will load a driver only when you insert a
card. This is also useful for some drivers that install many devices
(e.g., Centrino).

NOTE: This version changes .conf files installed by Windows
drivers. So you must reinstall Windows drivers; otherwise ndiswrapper
won't work. You can do this by "ndiswrapper -e " and install
the driver again.
