libc6-i386 versus ia32-libs
Hello everybody, today updating my sid I noticed this conflict, and I was wondering if I can remove ia32-libs from my system or if I have to wait until a new version of ia32-libs compatible with libc6-i386 comes out (and maybe this should be the right way to do since, if I am not wrong, ia32-libs contains many more libraries than llibc6). Suggestions?

I make presentations using a latex class (powerdot) that gives as output a .pdf file, and often I have to present it using computers running windows in which there is only Acrobat Reader installed, so I want to be sure that everything is ok testing it with this polluting closed source software.

kpdf crashes on some pdf documents
Hello everybody, I am using a latex class called powerdot (http://stuwww.uvt.nl/~hendri/index.html?/~hendri/Downloads/haprosper.htmlmainframeha ) to make presentations; the output is a pdf file, and when using a particular option of that class and I try to display the document with kpdf, then it crashes if click on it giving me this quite obscure error: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x00868610 *** Alarm clock I can instead display the same pdf file with acroread without problems.

Problems with Acrobat Reader 7.0 in pure64 environment
Hello everybody,
I am trying to repeat what has been done, apparently with success, to
have acrobat reader working in a pure64 environment following what is
written in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/05/msg00703.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/05/msg00707.html
I repeat for convenience the steps here:
- apt-get install ia32-libs;
- get ia32-libs-gtk from ubuntu (the version mentioned in those
messages is not anymore available, now you have
ia32-libs-gtk_7_amd64.deb);
- get the acroread debian package from marillat (you can choose
between acroread_7.0-0.9_i386.deb and acroread_7.0.1-0.0_i386.deb)and
install it with 'dpkg -i --force-all';
- 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
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32 before exec;
- 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;
- rm /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api
I have done all of them, but when I start acroread I get the following error:
/usr/bin/../lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error
while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
So it seems acroread wants to load libXinerama library, and in my
system I have only 64bit version of it.
Am I missing some step or some package?
TIA
apt-build problems on amd64
Hello everybody, I was thinking to use apt-build to build the few packages that aren't yet available in kde 3.4.2 for amd64 (or in general for packages that aren't yet available at all for amd64), but I am having some problems. For example apt-build install kompose seems to build the package, but then it stops immediately before installing it with a segfault: [...] The following NEW packages will be installed: kompose 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/85.5kB of archives. After unpacking 283kB of additional disk space will be used. WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! kompose E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes Segmentation fault with this error message being cryptic since I cannot find any reference to the --force-yes option in the man page for apt-build. However the .deb package for kompose is effectively built in /var/cache/apt-build/repository and I can install it by hand with dpkg. As another example instead filelight doesn't build at all: checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [build] Error 77 [...] Error while building filelight! Sorry, no package to install. Segmentation fault So I am starting to ask if: a) apt-build isn't yet mature to use for amd64 b) the problems are related to the sources, configure and makefile of some packages not ready for amd64. Thanks to anybody who will help me to clarify these points.
SmartLink drivers and slmodemd for amd64?
I have tried to write to smartlink to ask them if they plan to release in the future a version of their modem drivers and daemon (slmodems, without it it seems that I cannot use the internal modem of my laptop even if a driver for it is present in the kernel, snd__atiixp_modem) compatible with amd64 However, after some days, I have received this email from the postmaster of my provider: These recipients of your message have been processed by the mail server: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Failed; 4.4.7 (delivery time expired) Has anybody been able to contact them before and ask for this? Is somebody else developing a slmodemd for amd64?

Anyway, after a quick reading through your mail I would try : - Remove package evolution-plugins; - Start evolution; - Search for and un-check evil option about sending a message to dbus; - Re-install package evolution-plugins. I couldn't do this because if you uninstall the plugins you don't have anymore that option; but I found a workaround in this way: - quit evolution when it is in addressbook window; - reinstall evolution-plugins - start again evolution; until it remains in addressbook window it doesn't crash; - go to preferences and disable Generates a D-BUS message when new mail arrives This has fixed the problem.

Hello, I have downloaded the new debian package 8.16.20-1 for ati drivers available here: http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html First I had a problems in building the kernel module, since the make.sh script looked for a /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12/include/asm/ioctl32.h that it is not present in my sources; I have solved it with a symlink to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12/include/linux/ioctl32.h In this way the module is built, and I can load it without problems. But the xorg server doesn't work because of a problem with the xorg driver; in fact I have this in the log: (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o Duplicate symbol rol_long in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o Also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Fatal server error: Module load failure I have googled but I have found no references to this problem; any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Acer Turion laptops
On 8/18/05, Theodore Kisner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are you sure the button doesn't work? On my compaq R3000 (athlon64) laptop, the button behaves differently with the 32bit windows driver and the 64bit one. In 32bit debian with the 32bit windows driver under ndiswrapper, enabling the button turns on the wifi indicator light which then glows solid. With 64bit debian and the 64bit driver, pressing the button *does* change the state of the radio, but the indicator does not turn on. When there is network traffic, the light flickers indicating traffic on the connection. So basically if I can't find the network, I push the button and try again. Actually I usually just leave it enabled anyway. Another thing you could try is to boot into windows, enable the radio, and then reboot into linux and see if that works... I have tried both things, but the radio is always turned off; when I press the button that should turn it on I get this in syslog: Aug 21 12:26:14 aquila kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0).

Last dist-upgrade of sid breaks a little kde
Hello everybody, after last upgrade of sid (I am using only official repositories, I have decided to wait for kde 3.4 to come into unstable) my kde 3.3 has a problem: the applications list in the 'K' menu is empty, even if all applications are still here, and I can launch them form a shell. Also the applet I had installed on the panel are missing; I have tried to delete my .kde directory but nothing has changed. All relevant packages of kde seems to be installed, only some of them are held back due to missing dpendencies: arts kdelibs kdelibs-bin kfocus kphone ksimus ksimus-boolean ksimus-floatingpoint Is anybody experiencing the same problem? Any suggestions? TIA
