Update problems.

2006-01-22 Thread Doppiabeo
Good afternoon. I'm a new Debian 64 user, and I am encountering a problem, 
everytime I try to update my Debian from a Sarge-Etch to a Sid.
In your opinion which kind of problem is? Is it a problem of the package on the 
server, or a problem on my Workstation?
Have you got any suggestion about a manner to solve it?
Thank you very much.

I'm sorry for the output that it's posted below, that's in italian, but I hope

Hi Doppiabeo,

yes I had some problems to. I suggest to do the following way:

Install from CD as usual, and do install as few as you can.
Then do a apt-get dist-upgrade. It will force you to uinstall e2fsprogs.
Do this, it is recommended. 

Then edit your sources.list. I give you mine, maybe it helps (look below)

Do an apt-get update, then do an apt-get dist-upgrade. Now reboot to activate 
the new kernel etc.

Now install all your favorite stuff. 

I hope this works for you, too. This way is tested well.

best regards

Hans

  I provided the sarge net-install CD's for both AMD-64 and the older
  386 architectures.
  
  The netinstall for AMD64 went fine up to a point (except it was 30 times 
  as slow
  as the i386 install which he performed later), but when it came time
  to boot into the installed system, the boot stopped after it had 
  identified the USB ports.
  
  Repeating entire process with the i386 netinstall, it installed nicely
  (30 time faster), and booted up properly.  But he never got it to use 
  the two hard disks in DMA mode.
  
  (Oh yes -- he installed a cheap Realtek ethernet card because netinstall
  would not recognise the Ethernet on the motherboard.  But that's not a 
  big problem for me.)
  
  He did all this this at the shop, and then called me to tell me the 
  problems.
  
  I went there on the weekend, and managed to install the sarge AMD-64 
  kernel on the i386-based system, and it had the same problem as the
  original AND-64 install -- crash during boot.
  
  Using aptitude, I tried to fetch a more recent kernel, but so far
  have not succeeded.  Just sticking in etch into my apt-sources file 
  does not seem to be enough.  What do I need to do to get aptitude 
  to see a more recent kernel?
  
  Or maybe it has moved, and I should ask -- what deb line should
  I use to find the current amd64 repository?  
  
  Sorry not the have the details about motherboard identity and the like 
  -- the machine is currently at the shop and I'm not.  I'm not accepting 
  it by taking it home before it works.  The tech is planning to try 
  out Ubuntu or Knoppix next in order to show me the machine really does 
  work in Linux in 64-bit mode, but I'd prefer Debian.  He uses Ubuntu on 
  his AMD-64 at home.

  If in doubt (or it's nforce4), try Len's 2.6.12 installer, at 
  http://tinyplanet.ca:81/~lsorense/amd64/
 
 Thanks.  Now downloading.  Will try it tomorrow.
 

It worked beautifully.

A day or two ago, the URL seems to have changed.
  http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/
works now.

I now have an AMD64 running the 2.6.12 kernel.

But:
(1)  unless I am mistaken, the 2.6.12 kernel isn't there as an installed 
package recognised bu aptitude.
(2) I don't have the 2.6.12 headers I'm going to need to compile nvidia 
drivers.  Where can I find them?
(3) Or should I upgrade to 2.6.13? Looking around on the net, there 
seem to be 2.6.11 and 2.6.13 kernels, but I haven't yet found 
a 2.6.12 kernel with headers.  The 2.6.13 kernel I found seems to
have enough modifiers in its name that I'm hesitant about using it.  
Will I have to declare my system to be etch or unstable to get 
aptitude to recognise them?

Error activating XKB configuration

2006-01-22 Thread Andrei Mikhailovsky
Hi,

after a recent upgrade, i get an error in xkb while starting gnome,
which disables the use of shortcut buttons on my M$ Natural Keyboard
Pro. The error shows the following:

---snip---
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
6090

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
---snip---

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = xfree86, microsoft, gb, , 
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = xfree86, microsoft, gb, , 

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [gb]
 model = microsoftpro
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []


Did anyone else experienced similar problem? Any way to fix it?

By the way, I am running unstable branch with latest upgrades.

Many thanks

Andrei

No swap on my Debian Sid system

2006-01-22 Thread Jack Malmostoso
Hello there list,

I have noticed today that my AMD64 box has no swap!
I set it up during the installation as the /dev/md1 RAID-1 device, but
today I found out in free that swap=0:

nostromo:~# free -m
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:  1003456547  0 17235
-/+ buffers/cache:203800
Swap:0  0  0

So I tried to set it up manually:

nostromo:~# mkswap -c /dev/sda2
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 509960 kB
no label, UUID=97b4cddf-1209-4c23-81f3-9deec9dd7c8a
nostromo:~# swapon /dev/sda2
swapon: /dev/sda2: Invalid argument

If I set up a swapfile, it works flawlessly:

nostromo:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=pippo.swp bs=1024 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1024 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0.121002 seconds, 84.6 MB/s

Mem:  1003472531  0 18247

Any hints? I have added two swap entries in /etc/fstab but have not
rebooted yet to try them (work in progress :()...

via82cxxx_audio is OSS, snd_via82xx is ALSA. You want the latter.

Possibly, because you should have used /dev/md1 ?

How big will the 32-bit chroot end up being? What goes in these days?

2006-01-22 Thread cmetzler

So, as I understand it, the following stuff would need to go into the
32-bit chroot (assuming one wants/needs these things):

- Sun's J2RE

- OpenOffice

- Flash

- RealPlayer/Helix/whatever

- win32codecs + other misc A/V codecs one might scrounge up elsewhere

- Any web browser that you want to be able to use Java/Flash/embedded
AV stuff in

- the Acrobat Reader

- cdrecord/cdrdao plus whatever front end you're using to call them

Is that correct?  Anything I'm missing?

How much space would all that take?  Assuming one were to put the chroot
in its own partition, how much space should be allocated to that partition?
If you're using an AMD64 desktop, how much space are you using in the
chroot?

Cheers,

-c
