Re: Are there rescue disks that recognise LVM2 and RAID
Hi! Almost everything you could need fore rescuing a system can be done be booting a live system CD/DVD. I would recommend using KANOTIX 64, which is a debian derivative and runs quite fine. Sure, rescuing would be a little tricky this way, but therefor it supports RAID, LVM, almost every available device (nice on notebooks!) and so on. Christoph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are there rescue disks I could use in case things go wrong? AFAIK, most rescue disks are for i386 and don't recognise RAID and LVM properly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Wifi pcmcia NIC
Hi, I did never try it, but Atheros chipset based cards are reported to work with MADWiFi ( http://madwifi.org ) drivers on 64bit Linux's. They have a list with possible cards on their page, too. But I have never tested it, treat it as a rumor, not more. Regards, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Please help - kernel crashes often
I would suppose it is a hardware issue, too. Have you tried memtest86 ( http://www.memtest.org/ ) ? Let this check run about 20 hours. I experienced a problem on my router after 12 runs of the complete test suite, but immediately unziping one special file. According to http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/30417.pdf your Opteron is specified for not more than 65°C case (processor package) and 70°C measured by the thermal sensor diode. But I would check fan, heatsink and thermal compound nevertheless. 62°C might be a problem. My San Diego AMD64 4000+ reaches about 40°C if I am compiling a kernel.

Re: segmentation fault with firefox 1.5 after apt-get upgrade yesterday
Andrei Mikhailovsky wrote: Same thing, after an update a few days ago, firefox segfaults. However, If i run firefox from the 32bit chroot and execute 64bit firefox while the 32bit one is open, no segfault occurs and firefox runs ok. Very odd Andrei Hi! This behaviour is easy to explain; If firefox is starting it asks X11 if another firefox is present. If firefox is running, this instance of firefox is asked to spawn another window. Example: Imagine two Systems: Sam outdated debian unstable [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mozilla-firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2005 mozilla.org Bruno 2 hours before updated debian unstable [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2005 mozilla.org If you are sitting in front of bruno and start a local firefox, it will display same version in command line and in Help-About. But if you are using ssh with X-forwarding to sam and start a remote firefox, it will display version 1.0.6 in command line but 1.5 in Help-About, if you did not close the local firefox before. If you closed the local one, Help-About tells you 1.0.6 before. Why? In the first case, another instance of the local firefox 1.5 was spawned, in the second case it was a remote one. Why do I tell you all this? If a 32bit firefox is running, you will always spawn a 32bit one, but no seg-faulting 64bit firefox. So never try to use a remote firefox with little endian sitting in front of a big endian machine and vice versa. Their communication will fail and mess the local one up.

Re: How to make apps play nice?
Hi! You did not forget to activate dma for your drives, did you? Christoph Craig Hagerman wrote: I'm running Debian amd64 on an Asus board with an AMD64 3200+ and a gig of ram. This box is mainly used as a home media center and file server. Most of the time the system monitor shows that CPU usage is around 23% and ram usage between 40% and 80%. But for some reason when I copy files (cp or scp network copying) it seems to take over - CPU usage shoots up to 100% and everything else starts stuttering. Same thing also happens with running find command or other programs. If I am listening to music it starts skipping, if I am watching video, it basically stops. Why is this? I know I can use 'nice' to change the niceness of a program, but I want to know how to alter settings so that things like cp, scp, find, etc do not hog up the entire CPU all the time, not just on a case-by-case basis. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Craig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?
Hi Frank, are you sure about having installed all neccessary packages? The log file looks like you forgot to install any fonts. Perhaps you should try to bind-mount /tmp, /proc, tmpfs and /dev, too.

Re: How to install nvidia driver
Well, I did not read any of the refered pages yet. I did not know why I should. Right now I am using an GeForce 6600LE powered PCI-X card with the NVidia drivers. Sure, it could be more comfortable or their license could be better, but they are running quite nice. I did it this way: - got a new kernel source (2.6.14) from kernel.org - compiled installed it - got the self-extracting / installer archive from nvidia.com - started it - looked for the points where it installed it's content - copied all the contents of the various lib64 directories to the equivalent lib directories - removed the lib64 directories - sym-linked the lib64 to the lib directories - created a nice dual - headed xorg.conf - typed startx and had fun. Where should be any problem? Did I miss anything? Greetings, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
amd64 + wine in chroot
Hi, i am using an ia32-chroot for starting wine. Some Windows programs are working, for example the Ultima-Online sphereServer, but if I try to run Ultima Online, I get an error message from the Ultima client.exe displaying Out of memory There ist not enough memory to continue execution. ... I installed the chroot to an additional partition, so I can boot into the 32-bit environment. If I do so, the Ultima client works well with wine, even if I use the same wine configuration. So I suppose, my setup of the chroot environment is invalid. I am using the following lines in my fstab to mount the partition and bind the directories I need in both (AMD64 and IA32) environments: /dev/sda7 /mnt/sda7 ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 #x86 32 chroot /home /mnt/sda7/home nonebind0 0 /tmp/mnt/sda7/tmp nonebind0 0 /dev/mnt/sda7/dev nonebind0 0 /mnt/mnt/sda7/mnt nonebind0 0 /sys/mnt/sda7/sys nonebind0 0 /proc /mnt/sda7/proc nonebind0 0 Greetings, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
