Hi, I downgraded the library too, then I tried some screensavers with
xscreensaver-demo and my pc frozen :(

Linux compu 2.6.17-2-amd64 #1 SMP
xorg   7.0.23
  

Same kernel
xorg 7.1.0.5 (testing)

Did you reboot after the downgrade?

I left my machine running all night and still no freeze.

I had exactly the same problem and solved it by creating labels for the

First see if anything is in /root, it looks like it's attempts to mount the
root filesystem there so if something is there it'll tell you if it just
mounted the wrong filesystem or if there's a real problem with your root
filesystem. If there's nothing at all there just run 'mount' and see if it
thinks something is mounted there, if not look in /dev/mapper and see if
there's a LVM volume for your root, considering that your swap is called
VG1-swap it'll probably be VG1-root or VG2-root. If it's there try mounting
it, although I'm not totally sure all of what capabilities you'll have in
the initramfs.

It might also be a good idea to look around for a Knoppix, Ubuntu LiveCD,
etc so that you can have more tools handy in case there is a real problem
with your disks.

Jim.

sshd signal blocking on aptitude upgrade

2006-11-12 Thread Alexander Samad
Hi

It seems that every time I do an upgrade of sshd using aptitude the
window change size event is blocked.

Know I can restart it with at and /etc/init.d/ssh restart.

But I was looking for a quick c program that would simple unblock the
signal SIGWINCH on the current thread


this is the thread which describes the problem 

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg00465.html

unfortunately it has been a very long time since I looked at C.

Thanks
Alex

No that would create a new initrd - you are inside the initrd (Busybox). 
Is the root pointing to the correct harddisk. Heard stories of the dev 
changing at boot: You can see the root device in grub and see in the 
messages when the system boots what devices are detected. If they are 
different then you can change it in grub before booting.



This system uses lilo.

Apparently, that is the only kernel, because lilo does NOT pause at the
red menu.

The major complication is that root, and ALL partitions, are inside LVM.
That is the part that confuses me.  I do NOT want to try something

What do you think?

  

You haven't made it easy.

Does it detect your LVM's?

Did it refer to a different root device than the ones getting detected, 
because it could be that the BIOS could be configured to a different 
bootorder so it points to the correct device?


I have no experience in saving LVMs in a chroot env. I don't know if it 
will automatically map the LVM's if you use a bootdevice - what could go 
wrong it is not in a RAID also?

Hi, 

I know, that there is no real flashplayer for amd64 out there... but 
some times ago I had a library installed, that displayed simple 
flash-pages on the web - but I forgot it's name, and found nothing via 
google anymore... 

I think, I got it's name here on this list. It was not gnash or 
swf-player - only one little lib, which I had to install, afaik. 

Does anybody here now something else besides gnash and swf-player? 

Thanks for your help,

System Freeze and python-central_0.5.9_all

2006-11-12 Thread Anders Brandt Petersen

Hi,

Today python-central was upgraded on my testing system to version 0.5.9. 
After a reboot the system started to freeze randomly like described in 
the System Freeze thread.


I downgraded to 0.5.8 and the freezing went away  - at least for now.

So it seems like the problem with the freeze is related to 
python-central_0.5.9_all.deb. This would also explain why 32 bit 
experience same symptoms.


Can anyone confirm this?

Kind Regards
Anders
