Re: Dependency issue with perl-base
Hi Debian fans,
(B
(BI found the solution and thought I post it here for others.
(B
(BThe original cause was finally found to be the locale settings. I will walk
(Ball the way once again so its easy to follow.
(B
(B1) When trying to update perl I evt. found out that something is wrong with
(Bthe locale settings
(B
(B"Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
(Bperl: warning: Setting locale failed.
(Bperl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
(B LANGUAGE = "ja_JP:ja:en_GB:en",
(B LC_ALL = "en_US",
(B LANG = "ja_JP.EUC-JP"
(B are supported and installed on your system.
(B perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
(B locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or
(Bdirectory
(B locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or
(Bdirect
(Bory
(B locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
(B
(B"
(B
(B2) So I checked the file /etc/locale.gen and unfortunately it was completely
(Bempty (which is not good)
(B
(B2a) So I did a "man locale" and read which locales I can / should put.
(B
(BSo I ended up with a file like this
(B
(B--contents of /etc/local.gen-
(Ben_GB ISO-8859-1
(Ben_US ISO-8859-1
(Ben_US ISO8859-1

(Ben_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
(Bja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
(Bja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
(B
(B2b) I did a "locale-gen"
(B

(BGenerating locales...

(B en_US.ISO8859-1... done
(B en_GB.ISO-8859-15... done
(B en_GB.UTF-8... done
(B ja_JP.UTF-8... done
(BGeneration complete.
(B
(B3) I removed the "liblockfile-simple-perl" package
(B
(B"dpkg --remove liblockfile-simple-perl"
(B
(B4) Now I did my upgrade.
(B
(B"apt-get upgrade"
(B
(BSo finally everything is fine and system is up and running.
(B
(B
(BI hope that helps somebody to avoid wasting their time on such issues.

Re: Installation problem with tyan mainboard

I am not lucky enough to own a S4882, but lets skip that for the moment ;-). What messages do you get when trying to load the driver with insmod ?

Re: AMD64 VS EM64T
Hi Everybody, there is a 67 page Benchmark comparison betweeen the Athlon type CPUs and the Pentium 4 types (including Prescott). The review does NOT include the Opterons ;-(, but is has a lot of very detailed benchmark charts. 29 charts for data transfers of each CPU alone + 35 benchmark charts (comparison). The only problem is as far as I know this article is only available in German. http://www.tecchannel.de/hardware/1244/index.html Test: Athlon 64 FX-55 4000+ They have a english website here : http://www.tecchannel.com/ ,but unfortunately it does not contain even as near info as the german pages. The article above does not seem to be available in english. The article is free to read online or you can buy the PDF version for 0.80 Euro (1$). I have it but the copyright does not allow me to forward it to anybody.

MySQL on debian amd64
Hi Debian fans, Today I installed and configured MySQL (its not the first time I am doing this so I am a bit puzzled). 1) I am unable to set the default-character-set in /etc/my.cnf. I tried default-character-set=ujis and default_character_set=ujis under the [mysqld] section, but both dont work. Is this a possible bug ? Who is actually packing the files MySQL AB themselves ? 2)How would I know the full .deb package name (including version number) containing the mysql server files. Using dpkg --list mysql-server just gives me the version number? I am actually looking foran equivalent to rpm -qi packagename.rpm. Any reply would be much appreciated.

That is (without the hardware raid) basically a typical dual boot setup. Shouldnt there be a Driver for the Sil3114 Controller ? I know that Tyan makes the drivers for Suse and Redhat. I was hoping that perhaps a nice driver developer is reading this and spend a few hours of devoted motivation to get this done ;-) Best regards Nils Valentin On Saturday 23 October 2004 01:47, Lennart Sorensen wrote: On Sat, Oct 23, 2004 at 12:36:05AM +0900, Nils Valentin wrote: I am trying to setup a Opteron box.

Do I remember wrong? Besides why do you want proprietary software raid when you could use open standard linux md software raid (which is faster too in general).

Hi Lemmart, of course I want to use an open source driver if available (sorry if I didnt mention that) Which one do you suggest ? Does it come with debian ?
