Also zeroinstall was fine as well due to the fact that it had a .deb as well. After doing some reading all Rox-Session does is manage sessions between your Rox-Filer and your Window manager. In other words it sets up Rox-Filer, as the file manager and will put a entry in your gdm, as ROX, or in kdm puts an entry as custom. It also allows you to log out of the session, and choose a window manager to use with Rox-Filer the next time Rox-Session is run. Since you have put the needed lines in your .xsession I guess one does not need the Rox-Session. After playing with it a little, you could do everything you needed just with that. I need to study the manual as I need to setup starting programs like KDE does so when you log out of your session you don't need to restart every program you use all the time. I thought their was a way to do that with some of the options, but it did not turn out that way. Olaunch is pretty cool, I don't have it installed on my bsd machine, but it's fun to play with it on my etch system. I am just so amazed at how fast it is, I have a laptop that would really benefit for it. That will be my next sub project when I get more time.

In this case, it's a bug in the package where it should actually specifiy a correct versioned build dependency. Even though we could build it at a later time, we don't, and expect the maintainer to upload a new version with that bug fixed. Agreed. BTW, are you sure it was builddeps in this case? the build haning in trying to ping localhost seems not to relate to builddeps.

Right now one of the problems keeping me from running Rox-session is a python-dbus dependence, which I have not been able to track down. I will do a follow up post to update everyone on the progress. I will sure try out the options of what Rox-filer has to offer, maybe I need to read the man pages, and documents for Rox. Gnu_Raiz I am using rox-filer 2.4.1 which is what comes with the debian distribution. It just works out of the box with apt-get install rox-filer. In that case all dependencies are automatically resolved. You are using rox-filer from somewhere else, in that case you have to resolve all dependancies yourself. Just install via apt-get. for window manager I am using sawfish. jpeg bmp xpm png tiff and even svg all work fine. avi and other movie formats do not. regards stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can you give me any list of packages that we should build, are unavailable, and don't have an RC bug open that it failed to build? Note that some of the problems might be temporary, because they were caused by an other package. In those cases, it can be just retried. I currently don't know any of those types. Some might be caused by missing build dependencies, and when you try it you have them installed while the buildd didn't. Other might for instance be caused by incorrect build depedencies, where it needed a newer version of it's build dependency, that wasn't in the archive at the moment it was tried but is now. In this case, it's a bug in the package where it should actually specifiy a correct versioned build dependency. Even though we could build it at a later time, we don't, and expect the maintainer to upload a new version with that bug fixed. Yet an other type of bug might be some race condition, that happens to trigger on the buildd but doesn't happen on your host. For instance, the latest version of tar was unavailable because of that for some time. We've uploaded that version since it's not a regression, and it actually fixes an other important bug. There might be other type of bugs in packages, which the buildd might find and you don't, but I currently can't think of any others. > So maybe it would be useful to send a STOP instead of TERM signal to the > process (and an email to the owner), go on with the next package, and > let the owner of the machine find out later what went wrong with the > build (connecting to the stopped process with gdb and friends).

But the package is in installed state, as you can see here: http://buildd.debian.org/nagios-plugins In this case, I've actually build + uploaded the package manually. I haven't really tested this, but because of the setup of the buildd, it's ping test probably failed.

The processes would then just hang around and waste valueable ram that on some buildds is in short supply.

Maybe I still am a DD? Becoming one could be quite simple. Depends on how long ago you quit and how. Is you gpg key still in the keyring? If so then you are a DD still. If you are a DD you could upload packages that you build localy. But that is deprecated unless there is a solid reason why the buildd can't build the package.

For that reason your /boot must be a plain partition or raid1 and if you have /boot on / then / must be plain or raid1. > At any event I believe to have to re-do everything.

I recommend one of the following partitionings: part1 /raid1 <500MB part2 swap raid1 1GB part3 lvm raid5 rest /tmp as tmpfs /usr, /var, /home on lvm OR with e.g. 4 equal disks sda1/ raid1 1GB sdb1/ raid1 1GB sdc1 swap raid1 1GB sdd1 swap raid1 1GB part2 lvm raid5 rest /tmp as tmpfs /usr, /var, /home on lvm If the disks are uneven put / and swap only on the bigger ones to even them out. If you have multiple controlers put the parts of raid1 on different controlers.

Terminated make: *** [config.status] Error 1 Build killed with signal 15 after 150 minutes of inactivity In the past we had a few packages just hang in sbuild during build for no concernable reasons. This might be a new one with the same effect. Someone has to babysit the buildd while a new try is made to check what actualy is going wrong. As you can seen on http://unstable.buildd.net/buildd/amd64_stats.png there is no backlog of package to build (Neews-Build line) and the buildds are idle most of the time. To run a buildd you would also need to be a DD. But you can do what you do now. Look for failed packages, see why they failed and write patches where possible.

buildd failures for amd64?
Hi, I from time-to-time notice that amd64 doesn't have a package in unstable/testing, while most (all) other archs do. At the moment for example natios-plugins is compiled for most archs, but the amd64 arch reports "maybe-failed": http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=nagios-plugins&ver=1.4.3.0cvs.20060707-2&arch=amd64&stamp=1152532502&file=log&as=raw http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=nagios-plugins When trying myself apt-get source nagios-plugins; cd n*; fakeroot ./debian/rules binary on my amd64 box, I get the proper nagios-plugins*.deb's in 136 seconds, so it looks like there was something wrong with the build box for amd64. So, I wonder, could my box help with the compiling (I have hd and bandwidth to burn)? (If so, does anyone know where to apply?) Thanks!
