cfs reports Input/Output error
Hi, I'm using cfs on an amd64 (sid). The Cryptographic File System (cfs) deb package used to work fine. Haven't used it for a while on amd64 (only on i386) and now... it doesn't work. I can manage to "mount" the encrypted directory by doing: $ cfssh directory The problem is when I try to see what's inside the directory: $ ls ls: reading directory .: Input/output error $ echo * * My guess is that this is a problem with the way things are mounted, not ls. I've tried to do an strace on this, but didn't get anything. Any ideas on how to fix this. Cheers, Sergio. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

tyan board
Hello, I'm building my new computer and am ready to look at boards. I've settled on AMD AM2 socket. I don't do games but would like to transfer videos to DVD and watch DVDs (edit out commercials?) and other home use type stuff. For this, I want a good selection of USB, more than one SATA, firewire, etc. In fact, the n3400B is only short the eSATA to match the features that I would use of the ASIS Crosshair (apparently a gamers' heaven). I want a solid reliable board as I usually only get a new computer every 10 years or so. I understand that Tyan boards are very good and generally well supported in Linux. So far I've found the Tomcat n3400B and the h1000s. The Tyan website under 'drivers' has them listed specifically for RHES and SLES. How does this translate to using these boards under Debian? I've been trying to answer this myself using Google without success. Has anyone used either of these boards? Thanks, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mplayer and flash movies are too fast
Hello all, I've got a rarity with Flash and mplayer. With flash, if I play movies from e.g. YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui5v3APjmp8&eurl= - example) the movie is at very high speed - not normal levels. I'm using a 32bit chroot with opera/firefox and flash. The second rarity is that with mplayer, certain videos play too fast. Same kind of effect, very high pitched voices and very quick video. I've got this effect mostly with .wmv files played also from the 32-bit mplayer in the chroot. Since I don't have any wmv's that are natively playable on 64bit, I can't tell if it's a problem there or not. I'm running Debian Sid, both for amd64 as the 32-bit chroot. Anyone have a clue what might be going wrong? It's highly annoying... Thanks, Jan -- A tara da rata. -- palíndromo

Hi,there are experimental ubuntu amd64-native packages for OpenOffice according to [1]. Apart from that, a couple of days ago non-official packages (re-built from the debian unstable sources) were posted in this list, but I haven't had the time to test them quite a lot. In fact, I have a bug: the first time I start OpenOffice, it crashes, but the second time it works... ?¿ Anyway, anyone knows the state of the former and the latter, or the plans?

Not sure. Looking at the postinst script, those questions are only asked when the package is installed for the first time or when upgrading from a really old version. Otherwise it's up to the admin to edit xorg.conf. An "apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg" _may_ work, I did not test.
