Re: SATA install - AMD64 - success story
Hi Joe, don't wanna bother you, BUT: I've really no idea where people get all their SATA issues from, it's not had issues for me since Woody 3.0r2 was current. SATA is NOT running very well ! I'm running this AMD64 Debian since about 6 (or more) months on different AMD64 MoBos and I'm really no newbe. I've some non-working SATA (devices) too, but it doesn't matter me really. However whenever I see a new version, module, trick, tip or whatever I check it if it's working now. In my point of view (and this isn't based on much know how in this issue), all my SATA problems are coming whenever there's "NForce 3" stuff on the Board. However, what I wanna say is: If I'm not able to wait 6 more months I'll buy me a new MoBo, but others don't like to go that way of problem solution. They really have problems with SATA, they really miss their devices ! Cya JEBs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: iptables on amd64 kernel
Hi Jakub, I've the same on a server machine since weeks. I could solve the problem by installing the 'amd64-libs' and a manually install of 'iptables_1.2.11-10_amd64.deb' with '--force-architecture'. Well it works without any further problems (by me). The annoying thing is that apt/aptitude always tries to update the iptables package. Maybe someone else knows a better solution. Cya Joerg Jakub Nadolny wrote: Hi, I have just upgraded my hardware to AMD64 and installed kernel-image 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8. So all packages remain in i386 version. Everything works fine, but iptables does not work: # iptables -L iptables v1.3.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Bad file descriptor Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Kernel and iptables upgrade did not help. Can I ask you for help? What should I do to have iptables running with amd64 kernel? I have installed also iptables_1.3.1-2_amd64.deb (with --force-all), but result is the same. I use Debian testing. Thank you in advance!

Ok, found the problem with gdk-pixbuf.
5. Edit /usr/bin/acroread. Towards the end, there is a line
exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"}
Add
GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0.0
at the beginning of this line, before exec.
This should be
GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0.0
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32
6. Copy /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders to
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32, and replace all references to
/usr/lib/ with /usr/lib32/:
sed 's:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib32/:' < /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders >
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32
7. To remove the warning during module loading:
rm /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api
Hm, 7 steps is a bit much. Looks like a script should do that :-) Does
it work for you?
Yeah, now everything is perfect !!
Lot thanks !!

Ahh, deleting works :-D ... such easy :-[ .

The issue is that it is using the config file in /etc/gtk-2.0/???, which points to the mentioned libpixbufloader-xpm.so. Since this is an amd64 shared library, it cannot be loaded into the ia32 binary. Which gives me an idea: if you add the ia32 libpixbufloader (probably in /usr/lib32) *in addition* to this one, it should work for both kinds of binaries. I already have them in the libs32 too... However, haven't known that there's a config file... Simply changed it there so that it points to the lib32 one. And YEA... it works !!! I guess something other don't work now due to the config change... but "shit happen" ;-) . Looot thanks !!! Beside that, is there a chance to get the pdf mozilla plugin working or is that impossible at all (as long as there's no real AMD64 port) ? If the plugin spawns a separate process, probably yes. But my experience with plugins is extremely mixed. As a plugin I prefer kpdf 3.4 in konqueror anyway. Huam... Okay, let me go some OT: I know the other readers like xpdf, kpdf and the like, but beside that they all have problems with some special images (i.e. JPEG transparency) or that they're sometimes ugly in the handling, I've one BIG problem with them... may be it's because of nescience of mine: "The all have NO reload possibility !" Imagine, you're developing in/a PDF and need to check the result very often. When using "Adobe Acrobat" as a Browser-Plugin, you've the possibility to press the "reload" button of the browser = one click. With kpdf or the like you need to close and re-open the file. I'm working the whole day with my AMD64 environment. Everything works fine. But when I need to develope in PDF I really restart my system back into IA32 only because of the "Mouseclick" case. I know, it's stupid. May be someone knows another way how to reload PDFs with one click. Cya Jörg

Acrobat Reader
Hi Folks, I'm running pure AMD64 on two machines (1 Server and 1 Desktop) since some months, and I'm really impressed about the functionality and completeness of that port. But what I still miss for my 100% luck, is a any kind of a real Adobe Acrobat reader. I'm using now kpdf, kghostview and xpf. Each of them is working well, but I always miss some features and/or functionality. Does anybody got any kind of acrobat reader installed ? I mean any version 5.08, 5.09, 5.10, 7.x, chrooted or not ?

Re: Dual NIC - device assign problem
HiHoo, thanks to all for your awesome help ! You might check out section 10.9 of this manual to see if it helps: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html cheers, -Ted The docs have helped most ;) ! I first tried the "nameif" programm but finalized it now (due to more flexibility) with the "ifrename" package. Thanks again to all ... and a lot further happy AMD64 testing/using :) Cya Jörg
Re: Dual NIC - device assign problem
I've a Tyan S4882 with a Broadcom Dual NIC controller on Board. The NIC module "tg3" loads so far but assigns the ethernet devices (eth0/eth1) randomly to the NICs. [...] Any help/suggestions ? If it really does it randomly, you could simply repeatedly start and stop the driver until it gets them the right way around. On average, it'll take you only two attempts (the worst case is pretty bad 8-) Yes it really does it randomly and I already thought about such script... but it may take 2, 3 or in the case of bad luck a lot more tries. Howeven, the same as with the ifupdown suggestion, I feel that this would NOT be the right way. It sounds like Win~1 solution "If it's not working, simply boot (reload) again, you may have luck then" ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Dual NIC - device assign problem
HiHo, I've a Tyan S4882 with a Broadcom Dual NIC controller on Board. The NIC module "tg3" loads so far but assigns the ethernet devices (eth0/eth1) randomly to the NICs. First I thought it would be a noob problem but after parsing (nearly the whole) google I still found no real solution. My hope in a i.e. "MAC address selection module option" is gone and I saw/read that Dual NIC's seem to have that problem in general (ifup/down says such stuff in the man page). The mapping solution which is proposed by ifupdown, doesn't makes me happy too, because I need the ethernet device names later on in my shorewall. Well it could be made via scripts and shorewall variables, but it sounds like the wrong way for me.
