Thank you for your suggestion.

how to compile a recent xen dom0 kernel on amd64?

2007-09-12 Thread Jonas Meurer

hello,

What is the current situation with xen on amd64? the debian/sid archive
keeps no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64, and I was not able to compile
a 2.6.22 dom0 kernel with debian xen patches applied on my amd64 system.


I have linux-source-2.6.22 and linux-patch-debian-2.6.22 installed, and
followed the instructions from the workaround for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699

Then I built the kernel:

# make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \
-1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen clean
# make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version \
-1-amd64-xen --revision 2.6.22-4 --added-patches xen kernel_image

And indeed some patches seem to be applied (see below). But i still
don't see any xen options in menuconfig. Maybe the 2.6.22 xen patches
are for i386 only and not ported to amd64 yet?
That would also explain why no linux-image-2.6.22-2-xen-amd64 package
exists in debian/unstable.

output of 'make-kpkg ... --added-patches xen kernel_image':

[...]

so how do you compile a xen dom0 host-kernel for amd64? is it possible
with recent kernel sources at all?

Re: No sound in flash movies Debian testing,firefox,nspluginwrapper, adobe 32-bit flash plugin??

2007-09-12 Thread Dan Hugo

I ended up following the advice posted at
http://blog.niceperson.org/2007/07/01/nspluginwrapper-howto-for-debian-sid/ 
(which was referenced elsewhere on this thread) and now have working Flash for 
visuals.  However, I still have no audio.  I do have audio for other things 
(testing gnome system sounds works, totem-gstreamer plays audio, etc.  I'm 
using alsa and as I mentioned, sound WAS working.

I also saw on this thread that someone purged and reinstalled several
things to get flash (with audio, I think) working again.  That sounds
painful.
