I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists... I want to understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance desktop alternative with java enabled, or is no longer suited for that, :-) So your answers are very appreciated. -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's never good at saying there isn't an error, since maybe it just didn't test well enough. But fortunately for you it did exactly what you needed. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hey Matthias On 06/05/13 15:22, Matthias Klose wrote: It's time to change the Java default to java7, and to drop java support on architectures with non-working java7. +1 Patches for the transition to Java7 should be available in the BTS, mostly submitted by James Page. Some may be still lurking around as diffs in Ubuntu packages, apologies for that. There are a few cases, where Java7 is not yet an alternative to Java6, so the transition should not be blocked on these missing bits. However it should be clear that this is an interim solution, and OpenJDK 6 will be removed for jessie.

Thanks again for all your help guys. I was having a lot of problems, but I somehow managed to start the computer for just long enough to quickly install memtest86+ before it crashed with a kernel panic. On memtest, every single test was failing, so I decided to try taking out my two 8GB RAM sticks and testing them individually with memtest. Sure enough, one of my RAM sticks (Crucial brand; DDR3) had gone bad, and once it was removed Wheezy started working fine. -- Harry Prevor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
