Mine is you were lucky so far and the draw on the power supply has finally made it unstable/started to kill it off. Guess you're right. A bad power supply is one of the most common reasons for hardware failures hopefully it has not damaged the pieces and you may be able to reuse all that hardware you have laying around now in another machine. BTW you may want to get something along the lines of a 450+w with at least 24a on the +12v line just to be certain you do not draw too much from the 350w you have put in.

Multiple hardware and RAID failures
My Athlon 3400Mhz server was running flawlessly until a couple of weeks ago. The system is fitted with 2 SATA 200GB Maxtor disks in a Raid 1 configuration with mdadm and a seperate IDE disk. The motherboard is an Asus MB K8V-MX AMD S754. All of a sudden the system freezed. I did a hard reset and after an hour it stopped again. The logging reported dma errors on the seperate IDE disk and RAID failures. Now, the server also refused to boot. After I disconnected one SATA disk it would start again. Thinking it was a disk failure, I replaced the disk the following day only to find out that after installing the new disk, the system wouldn't boot at all. After disconnecting all cables (except to power :P) and removing the memory the system beeped a couple of times. I replaced the motherboard with a new K8V-MX and all seemed fine again. But one day later the other SATA disk got thrown out of the mirror and the system again didn't want to boot. I replaced the SATA disk and the IDE disk with brand new ones. Now, I was pretty convinced all this horror happened because of some power surge so after replacing the disks I installed an APC with power overload protection. But after just a couple of days the SATA disk I replaced first started to give errors again. Mdadm reports errors on all mirror sets and after an upgrade to kernel 2.6.15 I can't get the disk out of faulty status. Can someone enlighten me what the hell is going on here? I replaced all components except the power supply. Could this be the problem? The only one who is benefitting from all this is the local PC store ;) Frank -- gpg:FBB8E53A jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you had a power spike, anything connected to power could be now suspect. PS on down. I didn't read where you checked your disk cables. I've had more than a couple of cables of various sorts just suddenly go bad for no reason. Ok, I've replaced the Fortron 400W PS with an Enermax 350W and it all seems stable again. All drives are recognized and the mirror is synced again. 350W should be enough for an Athlon 3400 and 3 disks, should it? I havent't checked the cables but it would seem strange that all three cables became bad all of a sudden. Now my theory is: - the PS became bad after a power spike or some other reason witch affected the MB and hard drives. I don't think the PS was underpowered because the configuration hasn't changed since the installation. Is it possible that a defective PS could damage other hardware? I replaced all disks and the mobo since the first failures but I hope that the recent instablility was all caused by the PS and that I don't have to replace the rest for a second time.

Re: Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?

Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?
(I hope nobody is going to complain, that this question involves the word Ubuntu. The question is not directly related to that.) I decided to install an (K)ubuntu chroot on my Debian AMD64 system, because that solves two issues for me: - the few 32bit-only applications can be run (flash, OOo, ...) - Kubuntu has the most recent KDE beta/RC packages, so I can test them and find show stoppers Since my experiences with an Etch chroot showed everything is pretty easy, I was confident that running the whole X server from within the chroot should be possible. So I installed everything in the chroot, and it works as expected, but as soon as I try to start an X server from the chroot via startx, it fails. First it behaves normal, i.e. like switching to the X display, but before the typical X background would appear, it turns black and stays like that. I can not even switch back to the console anymore, have to do a hard reboot. The Xorg.log can be found here: http://hugelmopf.ohost.de/paste/Xorg.0.log This is the first time I try to start an X server from the chroot, because I want to try the KDE 3.5 RC1 packages, which I have installed in the chroot. Does anybody have an idea, what I need to get this running? Do I have to bind anything from the host system to the chroot?

vbetool on AMD64
I am trying to resume an AMD64 laptop from Suspend to RAM, and the laptop seems to wake up fine (I can type commands and they get executed), but the LCD stays black. So I read about the various options to reinitialize the VGA, which were: 1. kernel boot options: acpi=s3_sleep, acpi=s3_mode, pci=routeirq. I tried each one of them, LCD still stays black. 2. Using the vbetool to save/restore the state of the VGA. Here is the problem: I didn't find vbetool in the AMD64 repositories, so I forced the i386 package into installation (I met its dependencies by installing some ia32-libs-stuff and copying the rest over from my chroot into /emul/ia32-linux/). It does run, and the vgastate off option does disable the LCD. But saving and restoring the state, I get the following error: # vbetool vbestate save /tmp/save Can't get video state buffer size (vm86 failure) Get video state buffer size failed Can't save video state (vm86 failure) Save video state failed So I guess, there is some reason, that this program does not work on 64bit machines. Is there a workaround or any other idea, how I can get my display back alive? Thanks, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

cdrdao maintainer and status (bug 249642)
I always found it strange that cdrdao (which is required by e.g. k3b) is not in the official AMD64 archive. Now I found this bugreport[1], already attached is a fix, which has been tested by quite a few people. And still the maintainer Andrew Suffield refuses to accept this patch in quite a strange attitude. I read a lot[2,3] of people complaining about the behaviour of asuffield, but did neither know nor care anything about it. But now I see it myself. Given such circumstances (these kinds of helpful responses), I can understand that the AMD64 team was a bit unhappy with the non-official status of the port before testing became etch. But what about now, to what extent is AMD64 official enough, to change this kind of behaviour? I guess further requests in the bug report are useless.

Re: openoffice
We are talking about two different things. I was talking about the stable OO, which is available as an x86 Debian package (version 1.1.4 in Etch right now), but not as AMD64, because it does not build on AMD64. You are talking about some beta or release candidate version of OpenOffice 2, which is supposed to build natively on AMD64. So if your solution works and you don't mind to have a RC version, then it's fine and you won't need any package taking care of the x86 dependencies. what do you think about this: I have made the following steps: 1) Loading of openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.diff.gz, openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc, openoffice.org2_1.9.121.orig.tar.gz from the location http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/ 2) In the loading directory I have given the following commands dpkg-source -x openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc cd openoffice.org2_1.9.121 3) I have edited the file debian/control with vi debian/control and I have changed all the occurrence i386 (near Architecture) with amd64.

Undo libc6 upgrade in testing
Hey list, I am running testing and did an upgrade today, which included libc6 and quite a few other packages. Now I have problems with some non-Debian libraries, that I use for work, and the backtrace looks a lot like problems with the new libc6. Is there any connection between the new libc6 and the gcc4.0 transition? Because I compile these libraries with gcc3.3. How can I downgrade libc6 to the previous state? I tried with apt-get: apt-get install libc6=2.3.2.ds1-22 (which was the previous version) but it tells me, it can't find this version anymore. Is there any way of reverting the upgrade, without downgrading to Sarge? Desperately looking for help, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Undo libc6 upgrade in testing
Am Sonntag, 4. September 2005 17:41 schrieb Thomas Steffen: From experience it seems that after a release there is always a lot of upload activity in Debian (which is good). This breaks things in unstable, stalls the transition into testing and sometimes even breaks things in testing (which is not so good, but probably inevitable). Therefore you should only use testing if you want to help testing. In a few month, testing will probably stabilise and become more useable. Absolutely possible. Especially java packages regularly break after libc upgrade, but also other binary packages may be affected. Can you be a bit more specific concerning your third party packages? Thank you very much for your reply. I have just now gotten the 3rd party libraries usable (meaning they will only seg-fault when my program finishes), so I am not in a desperate situation anymore :-) The only thing I can recommend is to downgrade to Sarge. You might be right, and I have already @#§%'d myself for upgrading a testing distribution while I need to get work done ;-) But then every two weeks there is that curiosity... ;-) And I don't want to stay with Sarge's status for the next 2 years. Please notice, I am not complaining, that something in testing broke! I think I will restrict myself to just upgrade, when I don't have work to be done... Thanks, Frank

Re: amd-64 vs Pure-64
They will both allow setting up a 32bit chroot, which is the recomended way to run openoffice since it isn't 64bit compatible yet. Using a chroot is not the only way of running OpenOffice on the Pure64/AMD64 port of Debian.

Unfortunately last time i checked, there was no debian repository, so you can't install them by adding a few lines to your sources.list and using apt. You'll have to get all needed packages and install them with dpkg. just take a look at: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/mirrors/debian/marillat/index.html unstable-amd64 deb http://cyberspace.ucla.edu/marillat/ unstable main libdvdcss-amd64 deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main Regards Frank Remetter
nvidia io error in xopendisplay
Hey, i installed a pure64 debian from alioth some days ago and and can`t get the nvidia drivers working. /var/log/syslog: Dec 28 16:28:00 localhost kdm: :0[5941]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Dec 28 16:28:00 localhost kdm[5933]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Dec 28 16:28:00 localhost kdm[5933]: Display :0 cannot be opened Dec 28 16:28:00 localhost kdm[5933]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling. Using the nv driver everything works fine, but using the nvidia driver the reported problem takes place. I commented out the dri and glcore load command in XF86Config-4 and declined to install the 32-bit compatibility stuff. The kernel is a 2.6.10, but with a 2.6.9 i have the same problem. The nvidia driver is the actual one from nvidia.com (6629). Can anybody give me a hint, what's the problem? Regards Frank Remetter
