Re: dumb question about dual booting debian and Windows 7 on separate drives.....
There's nothing amd64 specific in this question, debian-user would have been better. On Qua, 08 Dez 2010, Michael Fothergill wrote: I bought an extra SATA drive and hooked it up so now I have two one with Debian on it. My plan is to install Windows on the new drive.. If you installed Windows on the new drive and then installed Debian grub would see the Windows on the other drive and create a boot option for you to fire it up if you wanted to when you boot the PC up. But if you installed debian first as I have on one disk and then add Windows on the other one then if you boot up the machine it will load Windows and you won't get a choice to fire up Linux (at least I don't expect it). Yeah, installing Windows will probably overwrite you MBR and make you linux unbootable. But that's easy to recover. Just boot any linux CD (the debian installer CD will probably work, or use some live distro) and recover grub: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/restore-debian-linux-grub-boot-loader.html There are many other similar guides. It is possible I think to modify the bootloader in Windows (without using e.g. Partition Magic) to sniff out the Linux and allow you to choice of booting it when you boot up the PC.. That is possible, but I have never tried. I personally don't like that solution much, I'd rather trust grub to boot Windows that trust Windows to boot anything that is not Windows. -- I don't get no respect.

Does anyone have older amd64 versions of fglrx-* packages?
Hi, I upgraded my proprietary ATI driver to version 9-9, but it does not work, all I get is a black screen and a frozen computer. My card is a Radon HD 3650. The free radeon/radeonhd drivers work, but they apparently don't even support Xvideo. I cannot run the geeqie image viewer either, apparently it requires 3d acceleration or something like that. I was using version 9-5 and it worked. Unfortunately, that version was not available anymore in my /var/cache/apt/archives. snapshot.debian.net couldn't help either.

However, even with a minimal install there are always a bunch of packages that i didn't choose and that (apparently) aren't used by any other package. This did not happen to me, though. This time i decided to nstall X from the installer menu, so i got X+GNOME. I still had to work around the xorg.conf to get it working (framebuffer). The thing is, i'm allergic to unused packages and i dislike big desktop enviroments like GNOME or KDE. And i know that if i do apt-get remove --purge gnome* there will still be leftovers, like Evolution. I don't think neither apt nor aptitude (or even synaptic, another usual leftover) have this, but is there a way to know if a package is depended upon? Automagically removing it if not? Actually my favourite is apt, i dislike the other two. deborphan shows packages that are orphaned, that is, nothing depends on them. I'm not sure if it can automatically remove them, but that's easy to do anyway. However, I'd do that via aptitude, see below. I'm going through the list of installed packages and their descriptions in the debian site, i even have a fortune-cookies package! Wtf? And i skipped all the lib* and x* ones... How can i get rid of everything gnome? What I recomend is to use aptitude, and press M (or was it m? well, whatever) to mark the packages you feel you don't need as automatically installed. Then if nothing depends on them, they will be removed. You might want to press 'l' and enter something like this !~pimportant!~prequired!~M to get a list of packages that are not marked as automatically installed (that is, they are not a dependency of something else that got automatically pulled in) and are not marked 'important' or 'required'. And aptitude lets you see quickly what a package is for. Another thing that you can try is simply ask the package to be removed.

If you fail to do this you'll remove your valuable data (/me sniff's and wipes away a tear) http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/356 Anyone care to explain this one to me before I throw away all that valuable data? Cheers, Avishai. That means that if you do rm -rf /var/chroot/sid-ia32, and /home is also visible unser /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home, then the rm will try to delete /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home, which will delete the /home (since the two are the same, mounted in different places). So you should unmount this and all other bind mounts before doing rm -rf /var/chroot/sid-ia32. some extra data: $ mount /home on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home type none (rw,bind) /tmp on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/tmp type none (rw,bind) /dev on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/dev type none (rw,bind) /proc on /var/chroot/sid-ia32/proc type none (rw,bind) Do a umount /var/chroot/sid-ia32/home (and similar for others) before. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem printing tex-generated pdf with bitmapped fonts
Yesterday, I upgraded some components of my testing system, such as
xpdf, some libraries dealing with fonts (probably not used by tex,
though), but not any texlive package. This upgrade did not go very well
because X crashed while the packages were being installed. I could go to
a console and kill X, and everything started working again. When I ran
aptitude again, it asked me to run dpkg --configure -a (which I did) and
which finished installing the packages, apparently with success. But at
least one thing went wrong, when I tried booting the system this morning
my initrd image was gone (and that was not fun). Having regenerated it,
the system booted and everything works, apparently. Well, almost everything.
I now have problems printing some pdf's generated by pdflatex.
Apparently, the problem is with bitmapped fonts. Note that this is
unlike the classical problem of fonts in pdf documents: the document
displays correctly and beautifully in the screen, but when printed I get
some blocks instead of the letters.
Here is a very simple document:
-
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%\usepackage{ae}
\begin{document}
This is a simple test.
\[ f(x): R \to R: f(x) = x^2 \]
\end{document}
--
Here is the ps file generated from that document using xpdf:
http://www.cpgei.cefetpr.br/~ekalin/output_xpdf.ps . The output when
printed is exactly like that. And since even the generated .ps file is
already bad, it cannot be a problem with the printer.
It is not an specific problem with xpdf, however: Adobe Acrobat
Reader 7.0 displays the file perfectly, but when asked to convert the
file to postscript outputs this:
http://www.cpgei.cefetpr.br/~ekalin/output_acroread.ps . While readable,
there are clearly some defects in the fonts.
Note that the math part displays perfectly. Also, if the
\usepackage{ae} line is uncommented, which causes proper fonts (Type 1,
I believe) to be used, then the document looks fine when converted to
postscript and printed. The problem is that in real-life documents I
need a couple of symbols from fonts for which there is only the
bitmapped version, and these symbols are looking bad in the document.
Under Windows, the same pdf with bitmapped fonts that does not print
well under linux gets printed correctly and beautifully, so it does not
appear to be a problem with tex itself. I have erased the
/var/cache/fonts and ~/.texmf-var/fonts directories so that the fonts
are regenerated, but that did not change anything.
I don't even know what package is the responsible for the problem,
so I don't even know whose package's versions I should list. But fell
free to ask for more relevant information.

Random Crashes
Hello all, Ever since I bought my AMD64 system (AMD 64 3000+, Asus K8U-X motherboard) I've been experiencing random freezes, in which the system completely stops to respond, or sometimes automatic reboots. Sometimes the system halts during boot with a message such as HARDWARE ERROR CPU 0: Machine Check Exception:4 Bank 4: b2070f0f TSC a38a02f0b This is not a software problem! The crashes do not necessarily happen when the system is doing something ram or processor intensive. I can do heavy tasks such as video encoding with no problems, but sometimes the system crashes when it's idle, only background tasks running. Also, the crashes are not so frequent. When I bought the system, it had one stick with 512Mb of RAM. Crashes already happened then. Later I added anoter stick with 1Gb of RAM. I suspected the memory, and ran memtest only. But it was for a short time, so in fact I cannot conclude anything from the lack of errors. So I took of the old 512Mb ram module, because it should be the one with problems, since the crashes happened already when I had only that one. The system still crashed. Just to be sure, I put it on again, and only this one, and the system also crashes. The motherboard has two slots for RAM. I tried both modules in both slots, and I did notice that when a module (either one) is in one of the slots, the system crashes just after boot --- at most I can type the password and let KDE start, but it crashes before KDE is fully loaded. With a module in the other slot, then the system is usable most of the times. So, am I really unlucky to have two memory modules with problems, or what else should I suspect? Motherboard? Processor? What would be the possible ways to diagnose the problem? -- They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!

Re: chroot question
Anton Piatek wrote: I posted this on Debian-user list, but thought someone here might have tried this already... I have a amd64 install of debian with a 32bit chroot for a couple of apps. This works great, but I have a question. Is it possible to have an application inside the 32bit chroot launch an application on my main 64 bit system? (e.g. a photo browsing program in the 32bit chroot launching gimp, which is installed in my main 64 bit system). I currently launch my 32bit programs with schroot and am hoping I can set something to make specific programs outside the chroot available... I cannot think of how this can be achieved, so any ideas are welcomed. No, you can't. Suppose your chroot is /ia32. Then, since it is a chroot, you can only see what's inside /ia32. /usr and other directories are not accessible from the chroot. Unless you someway make /usr visible inside /ia32, perhaps with a bind mount. You would also need other directories (such as /var) if the application needs them, and configure the application to use those directories. The same happens to libraries. If /usr is bound to /ia32/usr64, you'll need to tell the library loader to look for libraries there. Messy, really messy. What you can do is install the 32-bit version of the program inside the chroot, and it'l run fine. -- Sometimes I live in the country, And sometimes I live in town.

I've even tried plugging it without the battery and it still turns on. Also, the K750i, when plugged, supposedly starts charging (which is the expected behaviour).
