GNOME is not a service. If you see particular services which are
disabled being restarted then that is a bug - please report them.

GNOME and Firefox not working on latest unstable

2006-07-25 Thread Massimo Perga
Hello All,
  I've updated two days ago my unstable version of Debian for AMD64 and it seems that GNOME has some troubles to be executed: the same happens also with gnome-terminal and firefox (it takes the 99% of resources but it's not shown). 

X is performing fine, so maybe some library has been changed; I've updated this morning all the files but nothing changed.
 
Can you help me ?
 
Thanks,
Regards,
  Max

This is right. It works... until some error occurs. :-/

So here is the way to make it works:

1) Get the source from the Debian repository
 apt-get source openoffice.org

2) Get the package needed to compile this (as root)
 su -c 'apt-get build-dep openoffice.org'

3) Move to the build directory
 cd openoffice-*

4) Ask to build the amd64 arch packages
   In debian/rules change the 'BUILD_AMD64=n' in 'BUILD_AMD64=y'.

5) Build the package (this might take quite a while)
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc


Then, I hit an error in cpp_uno. Briefly, it seems that the bridge
interface has changed and this piece of code hasn't been updated:

If I recall correctly, the ntpdate from stable wasn't in etch.

I can get rid of the error that way, but I still am curious about why
there's a bad signature on the release file for the amd64 stable APT
repository.

Not sure about this, but I think the simple answer is to just not use
amd64.debian.net anymore.

When I did the first part of LPI 101 a couple of years ago, the debian
stuff was pretty new I think.  A lot of the general quesions were still
very redhat centric though, asking idiotic questions about sendmail, and
a few other programs that redhat uses by default, but debian certainly
does not (and in my opinion most sane admins do not use either because
they like to stay sane).  I wasn't particularly impressed by LPI's test.
Maybe it has gotten better since.

I don't think there is a Debian specific certification, most places
offer a general Linux certification.  For instance CompTIA offers
such a course.

http://certification.comptia.org/linux/

Also another popular option that offers exams at various places can
be found.

http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html

Not to mention a lot of local colleges, and Universities offer
classes and some might do certification. A year or so ago I took an
online class that used the compTIA book, called Linus+ Guide to
Linux Certification. It was to prepare a person for the compTIA
test.  I got a good grade on the course but never took the official
test.  The information was a little dated, and focused mostly on
general Linux terms. I have heard that they have a new book out,
and some of the information have changed.

Here is another link that might be of interest.
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/topics/linux/certification

This is for the lpi I believe, but might link up to a local
university, as I recall if you bought one of their books, you had
an option to take an online course, then take an exam.

I do think that these certifications might help you get a job, but
the Kernel changes so quickly, and so do the applications that it
might be limited in its use. I do think that being involved in a
project would look even better.  But I guess every little bit
helps, regardless of how useful it is.

Gnu-Raiz




The lpi certification covers both .deb and .rpm package managers in
its 101 test.

Certifications are really just a way to get past HR and are generally
meaningless beyond the resume.  Good luck, though!

Anyone,  I am currently a Debian only user at home and at work. Most of my computers are running 64bit kernels and of course the others are running 32bit systems and an ARM type system. I am currently working on gaining some "official" knowledge of Linux and actually having proof of it. I have been looking closely at going for the Linux + certification. I understand from reading a little online, that the test officially uses the RPM package manager, and thought I would pose this question to the group. Are there any other Linux certifications that would be either Linux generic (no special reference to .deb. or rpm, etc), or is the Linux + something that would be recommended?

   Edit  openoffice.org-2.0.3/debian/rules and there is some variable
