Re: Multiarch distribution

I'm doing multiarch work as part of my master's thesis.  So far, most

(http://arch.err.no/[EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Once I have worked out
a bit of the issues I'm having, I'm going to publish it a bit more.

Note that this will be a very, very experimental repository so I would
not use it for anything but a chroot.  It's not supported
security-wise either, so please don't blame me if something goes
wrong.  Do tell me, though.

Re: running openoffice from chroot

2005-02-22 Thread Alexandru Cabuz
Ted:
 I'm assuming you are using dchroot to run openoffice in the chroot?

Yes, that's exactly my setup, as described in the howto. But. I did
not use the apostrophes.  With the filename between apostrophes it
does indeed work.

Clive:
 expert and can't guess what the problem may be.  Did you install amd64
 and then install the 32bit system in the chroot (as I did) or the other

I have a 64bit system, and a 32bit chroot inside of it. The only
tricky business is that this weekend I reinstalled my 64 bit system,
but without reinstalling the chroot. The chroot was in my /home which
is on its own partition.

So in conclusion, is there any way to tell KDE to put apostrophes
around filenames when it calls various programs?

Re: request Sarge information into HOWTO

2005-02-22 Thread Leopold Palomo Avellaneda
Hi,

A Dimarts 22 Febrer 2005 01:38, Kyuu Eturautti va escriure:
 Could someone please add basic Sarge information to the howto
 documentation on Alioth. 

could you be more specific?

 Basically, the mirror list (are there any yet?) 
 and acceptable sources.list entries would suffice. This would just seem
 like a faster way of finding the information instead of digging the list
 archives.

The mirror list is complete. Which information do you need specifically?

 I plan to set up a couple amd64 sarge servers in the next two-three
 weeks and start testing functionality. Unfortunately, I have a very low
 tolerance for workstation linux headaches, so that will be a secondary
 priority for me. I'll drop any useful comments to the list.

I remenber you that is a unofficiall port and isn't free of problems. Works 
very well, but it's not perfect.

Leo

Subversion still broken because of missing libswig

2005-02-22 Thread Tanguy Fautre
Hi,
apparently Subversion has been broken since october 2004: 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/10/msg00028.html

Nowadays, libswig is still missing from Debian AMD64 for no apparent 
reason. What's up with that? Is there a way to work around it?
Not having Subversion render the AMD64 box here a bit useless for 
development.

Many thanks,

Subversion has been working before. The problem is that the new swig
upload removed the libswig1.3.22 form the archive (we remove imidiatly
because our scripts are simpler) which broke subversion.

Looking at the subversion QA page I see:

[2005-02-21] Accepted 1.1.3-2 in unstable (low) (David Kimdon)

which is the version that closes the swig bug. It missed the dinstall
run yesterday but should be there tonight and build shortly
afterwards.


If you can't wait use

deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 testing main contrib 
non-free

which still has the lib.

Goswin

Re: running openoffice from chroot

2005-02-22 Thread Alexandru Cabuz
 Just to clarify, have you tried opening the documents from OOo itself

I typed in the command line

openoffice file\ name\ with\ spaces.doc

Or equivalently I clicked on a file attached to an email in kmail
(after having configured kde to recognize doc and sxw files and to
open them with openoffice).

Obtained the same result. Openoffice starts correctly, and gives four
error messages

File file does not exist.
File name does not exist.
File with does not exist.
File spaces.doc does not exist.

If I type in the command line 
openoffice 'file\ name\ with\ spaces.doc'

then it works perfectly. 

my problem is that I want to be able to just click on an attachment in
kmail and open the file directly. I get a lot of attachments and it's
a pain to have to save them to disk, and then open them command line
with the apostrophes.

unstable fglrx 8.10.19?

2005-02-22 Thread Andrei Mikhailovsky
Hello everyone!

After upgrading the fglrx drivers from 8.8.25 to the latest 8.10.19,
i've noticed that my system became very very unstable. I am experiencing
crashes about twice a day, sometime system frizzes without being able to
reboot using Alt-SysRr. 

Also, Unreal Tournament 2004 crashes randomly, which never happened
under 8.8.25 drivers.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with the new proprietary ATI
drivers?

My sistem is as follows:

pure64 branch
Gigabyte K8NS Ultra939 m/b
Ati 9600Pro with 256 ram (Sapphire make)
Geil Dual Channel RAM 1 Gig at default settings
ATA 133 HD

Fglrx Drivers are compiled with gcc 3.4 using default Makefile

The problem with debuging and filing a bug report to ATI is that I don't
get any log messages relating to the strange behavious or any oops after
I reboot from a crash.

Many thanks for help or advice,

Andrei

Status update for the inofficial Debian-amd64 sarge

2005-02-22 Thread Goswin von Brederlow
Hi,

just an update about a small milestone we've taken.

Both current gnome and kde meta packages now have all their
dependencies fullfilled in the sarge tree. With recent reports of
successfull D-I installs with sarge we are now caught up with the
official release.

Our next step will be to get the 14 debian-amd64 mirrors to add sarge
(those that don't have it already) and producing a full sarge CD set.

We thank everyone that has added patches for amd64 already and hope we
get the last few critical bugs fixed as well soon:

* Packages in sarge with patches
  - syslinux (#249506)
  - util-linux (#248121): fixed in sid, frozen package, will probably be fixed
  by the maintainer
  - libtunepimp (#276742): needed to build kde, waiting on libflac6
  before rattling cages

 be easy for the addftpuser script to copy them automatically. I have
 modified it to check whether it needs to copy the files to lib or lib64.
 
 Unfortunately, I have no machine to test this on myself, as none of the
 debian.org 64-bit machines seem to have a /lib64 directory.

# ldd /bin/ls
librt.so.1 = /lib/librt.so.1 (0x002a9566c000)
libacl.so.1 = /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x002a95774000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x002a9587b000)
libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x002a95aba000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 = /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 
(0x002a95556000)
libattr.so.1 = /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x002a95bcf000)


Someone on the Debian AMD64 mailing list would know better than I how to
procede here.

Yes, but a better thing is to fix dchroot's / su's stupidity with a 
script (make this do_chroot):
#!/bin/bash

# Work around dchroot brain-deadness
ARGS=
for i in $@ ; do
ARGS=$ARGS '$i'
done
exec dchroot -c ia32 -d -q `basename $0` $ARGS
Much eaiser.

Re: unstable fglrx 8.10.19?

Hello everyone!
After upgrading the fglrx drivers from 8.8.25 to the latest 8.10.19,
i've noticed that my system became very very unstable. I am experiencing
crashes about twice a day, sometime system frizzes without being able to
reboot using Alt-SysRr. 

Try using the drivers I built using flavio's packages here:
http://rufus.hackish.org/~rufus/files/fglrx/
If that doesn't fix it, I'd suggest reporting of rage3d.net's forums, as 
some ATI developers hang out there.

In the new version of wu-ftpd's addftpuser script, it checks the ldd
output for libraries in /lib64 as well as /lib, and copies them to
/home/ftp/lib64 if they are required.

Since ldd does report the required library from /lib64, it should be
automatically copied across by the script.

Thank you for the corrected script.  I'd been planning on hacking up 
some sed-fu to do it, but his is a clean solution.  Probably should be 
added to the FAQ.

Hi,
I got 2 new SATA drives and pluged them into the onboard Promise
PDC20376 (FastTrak 376) and run badblocks on them (both in
parallel). The write test completed fine but readcompare locked up my
system.
I repeated with a read-only test and again it locked up with an DMA
timeout.
Does anyone have the onboard Promise successfully in use on an Asus
K8V board?

Greetings Goswin-
I have the Promise disabled in the BIOS. I was going to use
my two 250G PATA in a raid only changed my mind.
Have you checked out the source? http://linux.yyz.us/sata/
