Re: libmotif3 on amd64 (and rtai/comedi)
Hi $ apt-get source libmotif3 works perfectly for me. the following line is needed in the sources.list file: deb-src http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free But I haven't got a clue why libmotif3 is in i386 but not in amd64. An explanation is more than welcome :) I do have a larger problem with the rtai library since the next Debian version of my package comedi will depend on it.

Re: RedHat in Chroot
Hi again Now I have a RHEL3 running happily in a Debian chroot. I had to install REHL3 on a special partition on my own computer since the other is too new. Then I could tar the whole distribution and move it to the other computer.

Re: RedHat in Chroot
Hi again Thanks for the information. I will check mock very carefully. My experience with Vmware tells me that virtualisation is not the thing I am looking for. I would prefer that the user hardly recognises that the programs are being run under some other system. I think I can fix that in chroot but I don't know how with a virtual machine. I read yesterday more carefully about LD_ASSUME_KERNEL (something I should have done a long time ago). I really need a system that keeps track of all the different library versions for all kinds of broken software but I also want the ease of package management that I get with Debian. Shouldn't all the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL statements function under RedHat in a chroot on a Debian amd64 system? As far as I have read, Debian has never supported all the different versions of libraries made by compiling them with different compilers. Does anyone on the list have experience with software that needs LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to run? Thanks Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

RedHat in Chroot
Hi Has anyone installed RedHat in a Debian Chroot? That would be the perfect solution for me since I have some commercial software that for some !"#$%&/ reason does not follow any sensible file hierarchy standard. If I could install RedHat Enterprise 2 and 4 on the same Debian machine I would be very happy. The intention is to run everything later on Debian. I know I have to install RedHat with its installer but has anyone tried using it with chroot? Thanks Gudjon Ps. I got a private answer to my earlier question. Please don't spend your time on it.

Re: SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS
Hi again Thanks for the advice. The problem is a tcl problem. I could get the program running by setting up a sarge i386 chroot. Then I compiled tcl-8.2 for that system and then the program runs happily. The solution is more amd64 specific than the problem :) The function TclX_EvalRCFile seems to have disappeared from tcl8.4 without any explanation, but that is another discussion.

SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS
Hi I am fighting to get some code written 13 years ago in several languages to run decently on my amd64. Making it run in 64 bit mode is a far future dream but I'm hoping to fix a chroot. Currently I get most success with an etch chroot. The program compiles and runs in 64 bit mode but without any sensible output but when I run it in the chroot, I get the following output to strace several times and then a segmentation fault. ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xffdb6f38) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) Since it runs in 64 bit mode I guess it has something to do with the chroot.

Mounting a root device after installation
Hi I sent this problem to the debian-user list but it hasn't appeared so I hope you forgive me for sending it to you :) I have a problem with the newest Debian testing installer on i386. The installation works perfectly but when I reboot after the installation the computer is unable to mount the root partition. Resulting in (initramfs) prompt which I don't know how to use. I have installed tens of Debian computers but this has never happened. I tried both the stable and testing installer. When detecting the disks from a hard disk boot up I get the following message "Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods" By searching the internet I get the information that this is a minor error but for me it is not. I tried to boot from the CD and chroot into the new system and then do an upgrade to kernel 2.6.24. The kernel installs but stops at the same place in the boot sequence.

Re: Grub and raid (Solved)
Hi Thank you all for very through answers. The problem was very strange. I had to disable the "ACPI APIC Support" in BIOS. Then I could run grub-install but the computer then lost interrupt to hda (CDROM) and also interrupts to the hard drives. With Grub installed, I could enable this option again and now everything works. Before this change I used to boot with the install CD and make a chroot to the installed system with the dev and proc directories rbind mounted. Then I tried to run X. I got kdm working but if I tried to log in, the computer went into sleeping mode. After the procedure described above, I can switch between console and X mode without any problem.

You might me missing the package containing libtk8.4.so
Go to the following page
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
And
Search the contents of packages
libtk8.4.so
It will show you the following package
tk8.4-dev
which you have to install.
If you are running a Debian program. Then please report it as a bug because
then it is missing dependencies (and it shouldn't use development library
anyway).
Hope it helps.

Re: Why does this happen ?
Hi Libcurl3 conflicts with libcurl4. dselect will tell you that when you try to install libcurl3 and you can download the source package and look at the control file.

Re: Problems with schroot after a listdc update
Hi I think I had this problem a year ago and the solution is the following. In the do_chroot script write #!/bin/bash LANG=C; exec schroot -p -c sid -q -- "`basename $0`" "$@" This LANG=C fixes the problem. At least chroot works happily on my computer.

Svn+sshfs+shfsmount (slightly offtopic)
Hi Sorry. The problem may not be amd64 specific. I was using shfsmount earlier but it does not work with the 2.6.20 kernel so I switched to sshfs. This works more or less perfectly except when I commit changes to my subversion repository. I use subversion in the way that I mount the disk containing the repository to my working computer to checkout and commit to it. Everything works perfectly in kernel 2.6.18 with shfsmount but the following does not work with sshfs (and kernel 2.6.20). Then I get the following error message: svn commit -m "more rubbish" Sendingtrunk/mcaeln.py Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't move '/home/gudjon/marconi/svn/mcaeln/db/current.2.tmp' to '/home/gudjon/marconi/svn/mcaeln/db/current': Operation not permitted Does anyone know a clever way to debug this? Is it a subversion problem or an sshfs problem? Thanks Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can in fact wait a bit for the gcc but the page you pointed out is interesting and I should have known. But I could not find the experimental build logs in there.

Re: kernel 2.6.18-4-amd64 hangs
Hi I had the same problem but I was quite sure I had done something wrong. But what I suggest is that you insert the install CD and boot the computer (without installing anything) Then you go to a shell ctrl F2 and do the following #mkdir mnt #mount /dev/hda3 #chroot /mnt #mount -a then you can use dselect to install and repair what is needed. I recommend that you reinstall the linux-image. Hope it helps and be careful. /Gudjon Þann Miðvikudagur 14 mars 2007 19:03 skrifaði Constantine Kousoulos: > Hello all, > > I have a 1.8 GHz turion notebook (specs attached).

Re: Fresh Install Problems
Hi You may be able to do some tricks for saving your system but I don't know if you save time on it. If it boots and dpkg works, then you can download initrdtools by hand and do dpkg -i initrd*.deb. What I can recommend is that you use dselect to select the packages you really want to upgrade or install and that you install apt-listbugs before installing anything else. Then it should not happen again.

Warning about libattr1 2.4.35
Hi Please take the warning about libattr1 seriously. It will leave you systems in an unusable state (nothing that can't be fixed though). The bug report in apt-listbugs did not sound so dangerous. In case you have upgraded and it does not work then reboot your machine to recovery mode, Log in as root and do mount /dev/first_disk / -o remount edit sources.list to point to some updated mirror deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main apt-get update apt-get install --reinstall libattrib1 Version 2.4.32 is OK.

Re: libmotif3
You need to compile the package yourself apt-src install libmotif3 cd libmotif... fakeroot debian/rules binary cd .. su dpkg -i *motif*.deb /G I have never understood why there are packages that are allowed in i386 version of Debian but not in the amd64. But if I remember correctly there was a long and tiring discussion about it on the mailing list once:) Anyway libmotif3 would be a welcome addition to the amd64 repository for me since most of the commercial programs I use make use of it and lesstif2 still crashes on my double processor machine.

Re: off-site backup
Hi Excuse me, this is not amd64 specific I would recommend rdiff-backup. There is a Debian package and it is simple to set up and has worked perfectly for me. http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ It works on the same principle as rsync but some extra routines to make it simpler like a user and group id tables between computers to preserve owner information. I have set it up to run over ssh tunnel to other computers as well as backing up to another hard disk on the same computer.

Re: i386 or amd64?
Hi I hope I'm not repeating any of the earlier postings. I am much more interested in running amd64 software on amd64. If in doubt, I would (and have done) add an extra partition for i386 distribution. Then you can install an i386 Debian on that if the 64 bit version does not fit your needs.

Hi The newest version of openoffice more or less works. I have a doc file (unfortunately confidential) that I have always tried to open and openoffice for amd64 has always crashed on. Now I could open it. Two figure, a little bit of text and an excel table is missing but the rest is there. If the file is opened in the 32 bit version and saved as a odt file everything works perfectly. I claim that it is more or less usable now so please try it out.

Dunc-Tank
Hi Before I start I want to state that I don't want to start a flame war. I have been reading about this Dunc-Tank project http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS7543606709.html and I have decided to pay 40€ into the project. In the last years I have been fighting inside my institution for getting acceptance for Linux without much success. I like the Debian distribution but I have found unstable to be both the newest and most reliable part of Debian. Unfortunately I cannot convince people that are looking for a stable distribution to use that. On the other hand, the people I know that use RedHat or SuSe always seem to me to end up with very old versions of all programs with bugs that were resolved long time ago. A Debian release on time would make my work easier. Some years ago I was enthusiastic to become a Debian maintainer and learn to program properly but as the years have gone by I have found out that since I cannot support projects technically, to do something I may at least support them financially. I have also found out that many of the Linux projects are quite poor. Is there anyone out there thinking the same way I am. I suggest that those who are in support of this experiment just pay to the http://www.dunc-tank.org/ Some intelligent comments are welcome but I don't want to start an argument. Regards Gudjon

Both maxima and wxmaxima need to be recompiled and reinstalled. I have filed bug reports but I am wondering if the compilation procedure in Debian is not appropriate.

If you are interested you read the following page http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit Apparently you don't need the ia32-libs-dev package copy the libraries from the libicu34 and libicu34-dev packages to the /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib directory make a symbolic link from libGLU.so.1 to libGLU.so Run ./configure --libdir=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/ --prefix=/emul/ia32-linux/usr --x-libraries=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib make depend make The first time it stops do cd dlls/gdi/ ../../tools/winegcc/winegcc -B../../tools/winebuild -shared ./gdi32.spec dispdib.spec.o gdi.exe.spec.o wing.spec.o bidi16.o dispdib.o env.o gdi16.o metafile16.o wing.o bidi.o bitblt.o bitmap.o brush.o clipping.o dc.o dib.o driver.o enhmetafile.o enhmfdrv/bitblt.o enhmfdrv/dc.o enhmfdrv/graphics.o enhmfdrv/init.o enhmfdrv/mapping.o enhmfdrv/objects.o font.o freetype.o gdi_main.o gdiobj.o icm.o mapping.o metafile.o mfdrv/bitblt.o mfdrv/dc.o mfdrv/graphics.o mfdrv/init.o mfdrv/mapping.o mfdrv/objects.o mfdrv/text.o painting.o palette.o path.o pen.o printdrv.o region.oversion.res -o gdi32.dll.so -ladvapi32 -lkernel32 -lntdll /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libsicuuc.a /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libsicudata.a -lstdc++ -lgcc_s ../../libs/port/libwine_port.a cd ../../ (/usr/lib changes to /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/) make cd dlls/opengl32/ ../../tools/winegcc/winegcc -B../../tools/winebuild -shared ./opengl32.spec opengl_ext.o opengl_norm.o wgl.oversion.res -o opengl32.dll.so -luser32 -lgdi32 -ladvapi32 -lkernel32 -lntdll -L/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lGL -lGLU ../../libs/port/libwine_port.a cd ../../ make and then you can do make install Hope I haven't forgotten anything but it should get you started if you are interested /Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: ia32-libs-dev missing+wine
Hi again To answer my own question, ia32-libs is compiled for amd64 and ia64 but ia32-libs-dev is only compiled for ia64 don't understand why. I am compiling wine for amd64 according to the instructions at http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit Has anyone done that? Anyway, the instructions are not complete. Will provide what is needed if I succeed and no cleverer person will do it before me:) /Gudjon Þann Þriðjudagur 19 september 2006 23:26 skrifaði Gudjon I.

Re: Problem with Alsa
Hi One suggestion. I just came to think of that I did get a warning message during an upgrade some days ago. There is said that I should read /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/NEWS.Debian.gz The messages below are starting to look like the suggestions there. I followed the suggestions and haven't had any of the problems mentioned on the list.

Some very experimental packages
Hi I have been making some packages because of need and curiousity and I am keeping them on my private server: deb http://mve035.mc2.chalmers.se/~gudjon/debian/amd64/ ./ The following packages can be found kdenlive(The mlt library needs to be compiled with the --disable-motion_est option so some functionality is lost but everything else seems to work). I will suggest to Marillat that he adds the amd64 to the list of supported platform. (Unless you prove me wrong:) gnuplot 4.1 (There is much to much new useful function to wait for that program) wxmaxima(This package is recompiled and it can even factorise 10!. Refer to older mails on the list) You need to install maxima and wxmaxima to try it out. openoffice.org 2.0.4 (More for fun but please use it and report bugs where they shall go to) ngspice and easyspice (These have been quite useful to me) If you find it interesting, please remember that you are using it at your own risk. I will spend more time on it during Christmas. (Now I need to do some real work). Regards Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Problem with Alsa
Hi I have been pretty happy with alsa for the last few years. It even configured an ISA-PnP card without problems (or the only problem was my intervention in the process:) There is one problem with alsa (or udev) and that is that if my webcamera is connected to the USB port then it becomes the original sound system and I cannot use the other system. I have tried this on two computers but just decided to plug out my webcamera at boot time. Don't think it is a solution to the problems below but hope it helps. /Gudjon Þann Laugardagur 16 september 2006 21:16 skrifaði Bibiche: > Hi, > > I have some problems with alsa too. > In fact, it's with the /dev devices like dsp, mixer, ... that I have a > problem.

Wxmaxima does not work
Hi Could anyone test this please Open wxmaxima Open the help try some examples like (%i1) factor(10!);8 4 2 (%o1) 2 3 5 7 (%i2) expand ((x + y)^6); 65 2 4 3 3 4 2 5 6 (%o2) y + 6 x y + 15 x y + 20 x y + 15 x y + 6 x y + x (%i3) factor (x^6 - 1); 22 (%o3) (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - x + 1) (x + x + 1) It does not work for me. Then I recompiled the package apt-src install wxmaxima cd wxmaxima... fakeroot debian/rules binary cd .. apt-src install maxima cd maxima... fakeroot debian/rules binary cd .. dpkg -i *maxima*.deb and everything works perfectly. I am using wxmaxima: Installed: 0.6.5-1 maxima: Installed: 5.9.3-1.1 I think the problem is more general than only for this single package. But I would like some more clever people than me to verify it before making more fuzz about it. Regards Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Recompiling
Hi Now I had the problem that wxmaxima did not work for me until I recompiled the Debian source package (both maxima and wxmaxima). Now it works charmingly. A few months ago some guy was complaining about the grace program. That crashed as well for me until I recompiled it. Yesterday I could not install subversion-tools (or was it some dependency that couldn't be solved) but the source package compiled and installed perfectly (this was in fact solved with a new version this morning). Am I the only one having these problems? My guess is that some underlying libraries change without the packages being recompiled. Is there some way to fix this or am I misunderstanding something. That has happened before:) Regards Gudjon Ps. I try to make bug reports when I can. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
linux-image-2.6.17-2-???-smp and more
Hi One of the things I am confused about is why I cannot find any kernel linux-image-2.6.17-2 with the smp extension. Perhaps it's a silly question but I've got another and a little bit less silly:) I have a few times found differences in the amd64 archive and the i386 archive. Today I could not install subversion 1.4 but it is available for i386. I downloaded the Debian source package and compiled it without problems. Can anyone explain this to me?

ADS, no input from keyboard
Hi To answer my own question. The problem that the program ADS does not work with xorg 7.0 can be solved in the following way. By adding a symbolic link cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /usr/share/X11/XErrorDB . ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB .

You start gnome by writing gnome-session. Does it reduce performance, having *dm running? As far as I understand, an unused program is stored on swap space but not in RAM and should therefore not reduce performance? /Gudjon > Sorry, it was quite simple to stop gmd and gnome by > renaming /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm /etc/rc2.d/K01gdm > whereby it boots into nongraphical $ > > after that, the script > /home/francesco/.Xsession > > #!/bin/sh > xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources > exec xterm > > leads into twm.

Re: Broken applications: Openoffice on AMD64
Hi Go to http://openoffice.debian.net/ and there you will find all information but I recommend setting up a chroot for openoffice. I have both chroot and amd64 version of openoffice and the 64 bit crashes sometimes when opening doc files. But version 2.0.3 is better than 2.0.2. /Gudjon Þann Fimmtudagur 20. júlí 2006 23:15 skrifaði sigi: > On Thu, Jul 20, 2006 at 10:50:13PM +0200, Thierry Chatelet wrote: > > Adam Stiles wrote: > > >On Thursday 20 July 2006 14:47, sigi wrote: > > >>I'm using this [64-bit OpenOffice.org] package since it's released, and > > >>had > > >>only very few > > >>crashes.
