Re: Strange KDE Problem

 I have recently started experiencing a strange problem with KDE whereby
 for some unknown reason it switches to Gnome (while I'm logged in - I
 didn't think that was possible). The most obvious sign that this has
 happened is the background picture set under KDE disappears and the
 right click on the desktop is ignored (no menu pops up). I get no
 messages in /var/log/syslog when it happens.
gnome-settings-daemon, nautilus (do not ever run nautilus under KDE) and other 
similar core gnome programs seem to be taking over your desktop. Kill them 
and it should be fine. A general rule is to avoid all GNOME programs which 
are very tightly integrated into the GNOME desktop.

 I'm running the pure64 port of sid with KDE 3.3.2. I think, but I can't
 confirm this because it doesn't happen every time, that it has something
 to do with Open Office or the chroot it is running in. I say this
 because the problem seems to occur after I start Open Office (it might
 just be the screen saver though but it seems more common with OO).
Do you have openoffice.org-gtk-gnome installed? If so, try removing it.

archives?

2005-06-08 Thread Mark Nipper
Am I just crazy or did all of the archives die recently?
I've tried amd64.debian.net, debian.csail.mit.edu and
ftp.de.debian.org and all of their dists directories appear to be
empty for each of the various amd64 distributions.  apt-get and
dselect are very unhappy of course.  And I don't see amd64 yet on
my own official Debian mirror, so that hasn't happened yet.

Just curious...

Hmm, both debian-pure64 and debian-amd64 seem to have lost the contents
of the dists subdir, although all the packages appear to be in the pool
dir.  That seems odd, and probably isn't supposed to be happening.

So no you are not crazy, but perhaps a computer or admin somewhere is.

Yep.  They seem to be unobtainable at present.  No doubt all will
resolve.

Its me going crazy, fixing a stupid problem, now waiting that the
mirrors all sync up with the push I just sent, then sending out another
push which contains the dist/ again.
Should be fixed within an hour. Or day. Or year. :))

Re: apt problem - unupgradeable packages?

 Hi,
 I just came across strange problem. After upgrade from about 2 months old 
 testing sarge to current stable sarge I noticed there remain 3 
 upgradeable packages:
 
 harden-environment  0.1.17 - 0.1.17
 python-pyopenssl  0.6-2 - 0.6-2
 python-twisted  1.3.0-8 - 1.3.0-8
 
 It is bit funny, because no matter how many times I try to upgrade them (to 
 same version as they are now), apt wants to upgrade them. It is quite 
 annoying, because apticron keeps spamming me with pending upgrades ;o(

Remove those binaries from your /var/cache/apt/archives/.  Either
remove it manaully, or do something like apt-get clean.

The problem is that from the move from the old to the new
archive, they got a new md5sum, because they're now the same as
on debian.  And apt doesn't download them again, but does say
that it needs to be reinstalled.

Strange KDE Problem

2005-06-08 Thread Graham Smith
I have recently started experiencing a strange problem with KDE whereby 
for some unknown reason it switches to Gnome (while I'm logged in - I 
didn't think that was possible). The most obvious sign that this has 
happened is the background picture set under KDE disappears and the 
right click on the desktop is ignored (no menu pops up). I get no 
messages in /var/log/syslog when it happens.


I'm running the pure64 port of sid with KDE 3.3.2. I think, but I can't 
confirm this because it doesn't happen every time, that it has something 
to do with Open Office or the chroot it is running in. I say this 
because the problem seems to occur after I start Open Office (it might 
just be the screen saver though but it seems more common with OO).


I have my /home NFS mounted which is then bound into the chroot as is a 
/data directory. /data holds the background picture and is accessible to 
both the main system and the chroot (in other words it's not an NFS 
problem).


Any ideas?

Thanks, Graham

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

2005-06-08 Thread Carrick Detweiler
Has anyone installed onto an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum mother board?  I'm 
having problems (see bug #311856 for details) and am wondering if this 
is a hardware compatibility problem or faulty hardware.  Any reports as 
to success or failure of debian-amd64 on this board would be much 
appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks a lot, apt-get clean  apt-get upgrade does the job.
