Re: Kernel Recompile from 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8

2005-08-07 Thread Haroon Chaudhry
If I apt-get kernel-source-2.6.8, and compile it with 
/boot/config-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8, will I lose any functionality in the kernel?

I am not sure about this, though it worked fine for me.

I don't have linux-wlan-ng available through apt-get; if I download the source 
from elsewhere, will I be able to compile it against a locally compiled kernel 


I did that a while ago (I believe with stock kernel sources) and it worked fine 
too.
I am not sure but  kernel-headers for your installed version may be sufficient to compile 
linux- wlan-ng

Re: apache and java

2005-04-30 Thread haroon
Hi,
You don't need in to install any JVM for the base system. I always 
install isolated copies. I am using IBM jre 1.4x for eclipse (since 
Sun's jvm is buggy) but use Sun's JDK 1.5 for Tomcat (code I am working 
on requires jdk 1.5). All you need t do is download tar balls and not 
the RPMs and then declare appropriate JAVA_HOME rather than exporting a 
JAVA_HOME to env. I have defined JAVA_HOME in my catalina.sh.

I am going to set up a local webserver on a amd64 machine for dev reasons.  I 
will probably use java scripts on the server.  Do I need to set up a 32chroot 
for apache and sun java, or can I use pure64?  I am not sure about this at 
all.  I know if I wanted to play with java in my firefox and flash, I would 
need a 32chroot unless I wanted to go with blackdown and forgo the flash, but 
what if I just wanted something for local serving for dev?
You can run of course Apache on AMD64 and there is a 64-bit release of
Sun's JDK 5 for AMD64, as well as a 64-bit release of IBM's JDK 1.4.2
for this architecture. However, if you want to use the Java plug-in, you
need a 64-bit of it, which I think Blackdown might have available, but
the others don't. I still chose to install Blackdown's Java Plug-In in
the 32-bit chroot because the latest official release of their JDK has
no debugging support (at least not from Eclipse). They said on this list

I forgot to add that I didn't want to install it in the base system,
because I didn't want to mess up with the other two JDK's I have
installed for development.

Re: alsa-tools on debian amd64

2005-04-28 Thread haroon
Hi Norv,
I just compile that tool fine on y system I am using
debian-pure64 with some gcc4 packages (had not down graded yet) but 
alsa* are all non gcc4. I also have ia32-lib installed and am using 
2.6.12-rc2 with
[*] Kernel support for ELF binaries
  Kernel support for MISC binaries
 [*] IA32 Emulation
 [*]   IA32 a.out support
I doubt generated binaries would be of any use if you want to try let me 
 know and I can send binaries

Basically clueless, I decided to try Mikael's package.
I d'loaded alsa-tools_1.0.8.orig.tar.gz from
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/alsa-tools/ .
Unpacked the tarball in /usr/local
Alsa-tools contains a number of different programs for different
soundcards. The program I need is envy24control for ice1712 soundcards:
pan64:/usr/local# cd alsa-tools-1.0.8
pan64:/usr/local/alsa-tools-1.0.8# cd envy24control
pan64:/usr/local/alsa-tools-1.0.8/envy24control# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
I can post the output of config.log if needed.
I tried adding the URL for the source into /etc/apt/sources.list so I
could try using apt-build:
#alsa-tools 32bit
deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
When I run apt-get update I get:
Failed to fetch
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  
404 Not Found
This alsa-tools package is helpful to control a number of popular
soundcards. There are legal questions associated with the sister package
alsa-firmware that may be delaying alsa-tools acceptance into Debian.
Any ideas on how i can get alsa-tools working on my pure64 system?
Cheers,
Norv

You could filter out any arch:all and any non C/c++ package I

The speed of your connection also shouldn't matter as long as you

system is working now or not? So no hurry to switch.

my system is working fine, but I can't install new packages, eg. -dev 
packages that I need to compile some stuff.
same I here. I still have few -gcc4 packages. If you need to install 
some -dev packages re-install their dependencies only from pure64 and 
then try to install -dev, it worked for me. I just downloaded required 
packages manually and used dpkg to install "downgrade" gcc4 versions; I 
am not sure if it is 'right way' but worked for me.

Partition size problem

2005-04-26 Thread haroon
Hello Guys,
I am confused by the disk/partition space reported by various tools.
I have following partitions (as shown by cfdisk)
hda1ntfs~20G
hda2ext3~9G
hda3swap~ 1G
hda4ext3~29G
Total hda size ~60G now if use df to view disk space I get this output
(I have removed lines that report binded mount points)
presario:~# df -h
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 9.0G  7.1G  1.5G  83% /
/dev/hda4 9.0G  4.7G  3.9G  55% /mnt/data
/dev/hda1  20G  4.6G   15G  24% /mnt/win
Now I am confused why size of /dev/hda4 is reported to be different?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Haroon
