Working on it currently. I will notify all the appropriate people once I'm done with the initial rsync and am ready for the push part of the mirror. Cool. Tell me one thing though: is this OC-12 line into your house or workplace??? I've been trying for ages to get a ISP that'll let me host with even a bloody cable broadband connexion, however, since my area was one of the first to be wired with cable broadband, they're not going to re-wire it until hell freezes over (not the one in Alaska). OC-12 at home... Wouldn't that be nice! No, that's definitely at work (Texas AM University). There is no way I could afford the cost of that OC-12 personally. An OC-12 is roughly 622.08Mbps (either direction) while I only have a 5Mbps down/768Kbps up cable connection at home. I think we currently pay around $120,000USD for the OC-12 at work. A month or a year? That's an insane connection rate.. you've probably got a fibre LAN going in the building, right? Otherwise you'd be somewhat disabled by anything less than gigabit ethernet. They'll let you host that at your workplace though... Yes, Texas would be in my neck of the woods (I'm in California, so not *that* close, but closer than all the many German mirrors). Personally speaking, hosting anything of any size (this mirror for example) on a home connection is next to useless. I feel for you in looking for a decent provider in the boondocks. I have a friend in Northwest Washington who ended up going with DirecPC/Direcway (http://www.direcway.com/) because that was really his only option. He says the speed is decent (equivalent to slower DSL or cable modem service) but that the latency is pretty high. That's to be expected when the first and last leg of every route adds an additional 40,000 miles or so to the total distance! But I certainly wouldn't want to host any high traffic services on such a connection. It would be much better to lease a dedicated server elsewhere for this type of service, although prices are pretty high going this route too. Unmetered 20Mbps service starts around $239USD to give you an idea. If only I had the raw, untamed $$$ Sorry, ISPs are a major sore-spot of mine... yeah, you should certainly make an effort to host a mirror. What locale would your mirror be in? the US? I think that there's a lack of mirrors in the US personally... I would love to remedy that, but as I said before, The mirror will be in Texas. As long as you have a decent connection at home, your downlink will most likely be saturated from this end. Yeah, with my current mirrors, I get about 56K on average.

Re: 32 bit firefox on amd64 system
Hi Nathan, * Nathan O. Siemers [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-10-30 03:30]: Related to recent threads (installation of flash on firefox, etc). I've got a debootstrap ia32 system installed in /emul. The intent is to install firefox (i386) from tarballs at mozilla.org and use it without chrooting. I used the amd64-archive package (still the 0.2 version) to install the 32Bit firefox. I got past an initial missing libgtk-x11 library by installing it in the /emul area (by chrooting into the /emul/ia32-linux area and running apt) and running ldconfig. The next issue may be tricker - firefox/gtk seems to be looking in an exact location for pango libraries, finding the x86-64 versions, and failing: (firefox-bin:18830): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc' (firefox-bin:18830): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox-bin:18830): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed NOTE: /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so exists on the amd64 host system. Pango has a librarypath of it's own, so you have to change this. First you need the 32Bit Pango libraries (libpango1.0-0 I think) and it's dependencies. Next you have to make a new modulesfile, I think I've just copied and changed the /etc/pango/pango.modules to point to the right ones. But there is also a pango-querymodules which could generate a new one, but I don't remember how. I placed the new files in the firefox dir btw. but that's not necessary. Next you have to make a pangorc with the two lines: --%-- [Pango] ModuleFiles=/path/to/pango.modules --%-- and the last thing is to get firefox use this pangorc by doing a export PANGO_RC_FILE=/path/to/pangorc before you start it. I did it by adding it into /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox. I'm considering some hacking like: symlinking /emul/ia32-linux to the root directory of the ia32 distribution, modifying ld.so.conf (ia32) to point only to these symlinked library areas, and running ldconfig (ia32 chroot). I have a funny feeling this is not going to work. Anyone with experience with these types of problems: any advice is appreciated. If I have any success I'll let folks know.

Server syncing crashed ?
Hi all, I have two questions: First, I just wondered, why the two servers ftp.de.debian/.. and ftp2.de.debian/ are not identical. In my opinion that should be the same contents. But on ftp2.de.debian I missed the whole kernel brunch with version 2.6.12... Only 2.6.8 was found. I suppose, there would be a reason, does it ? Second, since in 32-bit the kernel with version 2.6.14... is available, I wondered, why in amd64 still the latest kernel is version 2.6.12. Maybe it is not finished ? Wil the next version be 2.6.13 or will it be 2.6.14, too ? Best regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

nvidia drivers not working in linux-2.6.14
Hi friends, I've just installed the new kernel as I heard (I think) it solved the problems with smp in amd64 with the clock and everything went completely normal until i recompiled the nvidia module for this new kernel to startx. it doesn't load the module saying telling me about an inexpected symbol. I followed the usual instructions: - make-kpkg modules_image - dpkg -i nvidia_blabla.deb - (i even tried uninstalling the previous module although i was sure it wasnt going to do any better) - (i also tried reinstalling nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev) and i didn't make it. does anyone know a solution? thank you trango
Re: nvidia drivers not working in linux-2.6.14
did you apply all the patches from the nvidia support forums? youll need to apt-get source nvidia-graphics-drviers (from rdonald's stuff) build them and install then go to /usr/src/ and unpack the nvidia-kernel-souce cd into the directory then grab all the patches and patch with 'patch -p1 patch.patch' re tar all that back to the original file name then run module-assistant etc there may be a way to tell module-assistant not to untar your file but anyway.
