Re: am I running sata II ?

I don't know whether or not there is a way to tell that (maybe with hdparm?). But I don't think this matters much anyway. These days _fast_ harddisks can deliver a sustained data rate of about 60MB/s, maybe with peaks of 80MB/s. So if you want to test the speed of SATA-II you could try to create a RAID0 array with at least 3 fast harddisks and see whether its data rate exeeds about 150MB/s. Well, but even with SATA-I you get 3*150MB/s rate, so you won't discover anything... Try looking at your dmesg, there may be info about SATA speed upon controler detection. Mixi
Re: Filesystem stability?
Dne út 12. července 2005 3:18 Mark Ferlatte napsal(a): I've heard rumours that some of the Linux filesystems aren't as stable as they should be on AMD64; in particular, I've heard of bad things happening with JFS and XFS. That being said, I can't find anything even approaching authoritative, so I thought I'd ask: What filesystems are you guys using, and anyone had any bad experiences? I'm using XFS more than year on AMD64 without troubles (on both desktop and server). Mixi
Re: amd64-specific bug in XPDF based programs?
Dne ne 10. července 2005 14:55 Volker Schlecht napsal(a): Hi, as of recently I have experienced serious (read: undecipherable output) display bugs when trying to view certain PDF documents (i.e. http://www.dnt.de/dl/58/SportyAdventur-eng-rgb.pdf). in xpdf-based viewers (xpdf-reader, evince, kpdf). Displayed without glitch with xpdf (3.00-13) and kpdf (3.3.2-2) on my amd64 sarge box. Could it be caused by some missing fonts (wrong font substitution)? Mixi
Re: GPG burns my notebook!
Dne so 9. července 2005 20:07 Corey Hickey napsal(a): You should also try burnK7 of the cpuburn package. Unfortunately there isn't an amd64 deb of cpuburn, but it works fine in my i386 chroot. This thread inspired me to run a few tests to see what program makes my CPU run the hottest. My somewhat overclocked machine had been running for over a month, even with me playing games in hotter weather than it is now -- and burnK7 crashed my computer. I just out of curiosity tried burnK7 on my nearly 2y old A64 3200+ (oldest 2GHz 754 socket version) and after 15 minutes CPU raises from 42 to 43 degrees (using ondemand governor I have 800MHz idle), but system temperature raises from some 38 to 58 degrees (and still slowly raising)... kind of funny, but maybe possible since CPU has quite good active cooling and MB only passive (MSI K8T Neo). BTW, doom3 heats CPU up to 45 degrees and even don't use 100% CPU time (about 60% average), main load gets GPU @ 1600x1200 (some 82 degrees according to `nvidia-settings`) ;o) Mixi
Re: sata support

And does anyone has try the promise chipset ? I am using promise chipset on MSI K8T Neo (first revision) for some month now using 2.6.11 kernel and everything is working like a charm. Mixi

Re: W-Lan - which to buy???
Dne pá 8. července 2005 10:59 Alexander Voss napsal(a): I just ordered the Asus Spacelink WL-107G PC Card PCMCIA 54 Mbit. There homepage says it is Red Hat Linux 7.1 compatible. That's good enough for me ;) Be beware of such statements, because last time I think RH compatibility is good enough for me I bought Nokia D211 only to find out it has binary driver working ONLY with RH kernel and gcc compiler (both heavily patched and not working on debian) :o( Mixi
Re: multiarch/bi-arch status (ETA) question

Libraries use /usr/lib/arch-os/ to make libs differ between archs. That's not _entirely_ true. In Tollef's multiarch proposal, files in /usr/share/doc/package can indeed overlap between packages with precisely the same name differing only in architecture. My preliminary patches to dpkg supported that behaviour. Wouldn't be better have /usr/share/doc/package/arch-os/ directories? No files will be overlapping and all libs will have it's own copyright and README files (which may differ between different arch-os combinations). Mixi
Re: x.org binaries for amd64
Dne po 13. ervna 2005 21:15 Mickael Marchand napsal(a): Christian Schaefer a crit : could anyone please give me a working sources.list line to get x.org-binaries for amd64? deb ftp://ftp-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/linux/debian-amd64/ ./ works like a charm here for weeks now. I have tried x.org because I want randr rotation (I have monitor with pivot feature), but after rotation, KDE screen was rotated with unchanged resolution (trying to display 1920x1200 image on 1200x1920 monitor). It was few weeks ago on Sarge (KDE 3.3 + Ubuntu x.org). Do I need patched or newer KDE for correct rotation? Thanks Mixi
Re: [SOLVED] apt problem - unupgradeable packages?

It is quite annoying, because apticron keeps spamming me with pending upgrades ;o( Remove those binaries from your /var/cache/apt/archives/. Either remove it manaully, or do something like apt-get clean. The problem is that from the move from the old to the new archive, they got a new md5sum, because they're now the same as on debian. And apt doesn't download them again, but does say that it needs to be reinstalled. Thanks a lot, apt-get clean apt-get upgrade does the job. Mixi
Re: VMware
Dne t 5. kvtna 2005 19:32 Jose Luis Iguain napsal(a): I have some questions about VMware. I installed it via apt-get in the ia32-chroot part but when I try to turn on the application, it complains about /dev/vmmon... Could you tell me how to install the vmmon and vmnet modules? Is it not possible to install a 64-bit version of VMware? About 15 minutes ago I installed vmware 5.0 by just running vmware-install.pl. ;o) AFAIK only thing you need is ia32-libs version 1.2 (sarge) or 1.4 (sid). Mixi
