Re: 2.6.11 kernel can't see 4GB?

Yes, it works absolutely fine. Have been moving around 35GB files, and have been running a big postgres database on it (and inserting the 35GB sql dump into it). On my Tyan Tiger K8W, PCI region remapping while making 4GB of memory available causes kernel traps on attepmts to use higher memory regions. So I'm forced to disable it in favor of system stability. I think there were three options for the memory hole, one said hardware, the other said software and can't remember the third one. Setting it to software made the 4GB available and have had no problems whatsoever. This is using the latest debian stock kernel (2.6.11-9-amd64-k8-smp).

I thought the 64 bit kernel avoided all problems with having lots of memory? Or should I pass the kernel a parameter? I had a quick search through the list but couldn't see anything relevant. Does your bios have an option for mapping memory from 3-4GB up to 4-5GB so the PCI memory hole at 3-4GB won't overlap with it? This is sometimes called a memory hole (and you want to make one). The kernel can then use all the memory since 4GB is not a limit for it. Len Sorensen This was in deed the culprit! Once you had mentioned the memory hole I was able to find a lot more information on this. Setting the memory hole mapping to [Software] on the Tyan motherboard gave me 4GB immediately.

I think it might be a bug if it loads into the kernel and takes over the ATAPI drive even if there is no line of ide-scsi in /etc/modules, and there is a line such as /dev/hdc=ide-cd in grub/menu.lst or lilo.conf.That way /dev/hdc doesn't appear as a device, and the atapi drive appears as a scsi device.

Can one try to install a 32bit browser like you are showing as example in this thread with acrobat reader? If yes, how could that work? I think the simpliest way might be to get opera 32bit *static*, test with ldd which libs are missing and configure the system that it finds the lacking 32bit libs. For example: I got the same problem with skype_static on my ubuntu amd64 box. ldd shows one lib missing. Is there an easy way to install that lib (libdbus-1.so.0) under /usr/lib32 ? (dbus might be an impossible case, I don't know). Where did you the config edit, you're talking about? The other way is to build a 32bit chroot environement and install there a 32bit browser and the acroread and plugin. I'm pretty unsure about all this 32 vs. 64 bit stuff. I need some hints to get a bit more aware on this stuff... Kind regards Gerhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try mozplugger. Seems to work for me, after a bit of tweaking.

And gv has it in the File menu (which is not shown for a plugin, correct). Also UI of kpdf is very much improved with version 3.4: it finally scrolls nicely across pages, has page previews etc. I think it compare pretty well again acroread, as long as you do not need to fill in forms. > With kpdf or the like you need to close and re-open the file. Not any more, luckily. Just get it from ubuntu and give it a try. Imho kpdf is the one application tha makes upgrading worth it. Thomas

Re: Success with Acrobat Reader 7.0 (tweaking module pathes)
Well I tried to get Acrobat 7 working multiple times without success, therefore I'm happy to see that I'm not the onliest who needs the real "Adobe Acrobat Reader" application. With your cool description I get the reader now loaded/started, but get a small "Adobe Reader" MessageBox with a warning: "There was an error while loading the plug-in 'PPKLite.api'. The plug-in failed to initialize." That don't seem to harm because the reader starts successful after that MSG, but when I try to open any kind of PDF, it automatically closes with a remaining MSG: "(acroread:7941): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Bildlader-Modul konnte nicht geladen werden: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.so: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.so: cannot open shared object file: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" I checked the existence of "libpixbufloader-xpm.so" and I found it in lib32 as well as in lib64. Any suggestions ? Beside that, is there a chance to get the pdf mozilla plugin working or is that impossible at all (as long as there's no real AMD64 port) ? Kind regards Jörg

[getting acroread to work]
I think I found an end user friendly way now to install acroread on a
pure64 system.
1. Get ia32-libs and install it. Just about any version should work:
testing, unstable, or ubuntu hoary. If you are unsure, do "apt-get
install ia32-libs".
2. Get ia32-libs-gtk from ubuntu:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/ia32-libs-gtk/ia32-libs-gtk_4_amd64.deb
, and install it with "dpkg -i ia32-libs-gtk_4_amd64.deb".
3. Get the acroread debian package from
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/acroread_7.0-0sarge0.9_i386.deb
. While you are at it, you may also get the extra plugins.
4. Install it with dpkg -i --force-all acroread_7.0-0sarge0.9_i386.deb
. It wont go without force, because it is the wrong architecture.
5. Edit /usr/bin/acroread. Towards the end, there is a line
exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"}
Add
GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0.0
at the beginning of this line, before exec.
That is still a bit messy, but for the time being it will have to do.
Do you think there is any chance of:
1. Adobe taking this patch on?
2. Marillat including it?
3. Ubuntu packaging acroread 7.0?
4. Debian getting an acroread installer?
Any of these parties could hide the difficulties and make a package
that "just works".
