Re: Changing from stable to testing.....

2010-10-25 Thread sigi
Hi Whit, 

last time I tried to dist-upgrade to squeeze, I got stuck in an 
(for me) unresolvable loop: 
The system wanted to upgrade the kernel-image and udev in one run - 
which failed. apt-get always complained, that the kernel-image needs the 
new udev-package to upgrade - and udev itself needed the new 
kernel-image... 

I don't know, if this problem still exists - if yes: you should find a 
way of not getting into this loop, where no "apt-get -f install" helped 
to stop this. I reinstalled lenny after this... ;) 

Best regards, 
sigi

Well, I didn't write more on this, because all went fine with right the 
settings in my first mail. 

I think the command 
update-java-alternatives --auto
corrected some wrong symlinks I had before after playin' with all the 
different java-versions around. And at the moment I was asking for help 
here, the browsers didn't show the plugin, because I had played with their 
java-settings before - and goofy I was: only javascript was enabled, 
but java was not... :-[

So: Now I'm using icedtea-gcjwebplugin with java-6-openjdk and it works 
all fine!

Problem: java-plugin

2008-11-10 Thread sigi
Hi! 

I have some trouble to get a java-plugin working on my 
debian-amd64-machine with a new lenny installation (2.6.26-1-amd64). 

I tried the plugins java-gcj-compat-plugin and gcjwebplugin, but they 
both didn't work. Now I've installed icedtea-gcjwebplugin - this works 
neither: Iceweasel and Epiphany don't recognize any java-plugin...

The symlinks are set like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 10. Nov 15:24 
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> 
/etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 10. Nov 15:27 
/etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so -> 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

update-alternatives --config java says:
Es gibt nur 1 Programm, welches java bereitstellt
(/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java). Nichts zu konfigurieren.

I tried the commands 
update-java-alternatives --jre --set java-6-openjdk 
and 
update-java-alternatives --auto
but they didn't help.

Can anybody tell me, what's wrong with all this? 

Thanks a lot for any hint!

AFAIK there's a problem with vidalia and debian, because vidalia can't 
connect to the tor-process which starts during system-startup in debian 
as user debian-tor. 
The tor-maintainers are working on this issue, which is assigned as 
one project to this years google's summer of code - so hopefully there 
will be a vidalia-package for debian in the near future. 

I don't know, why there's a tork-package for debian - because it has 
this same important issue. 

If you have specific questions about this, you can e.g. ask at the  
tor-mailinglist at [EMAIL PROTECTED] since this is not 
amd64-specific.

here I couldn't even make 
apt-get source nvidia-kernel-source 
like I did always before. This now downloads the nvidia-graphics-drivers  
source package - is this the right way nowadays? I tried mirrors in NL 
and D - they both offered the graphics-drivers. 

Now I downloaded nvidia-kernel-source 169.07-2 directly from 
ftp.de.debian.org/debian and installed it via dpkg - and it worked. 
Created the above mentioned symlink and m-a a-i nvidia worked. 

Now I have some blurred areas under X11 - is this because new bugs in 
this sources, or was my method a bad idea?

another nvidia module issue

2007-06-14 Thread sigi
Hi, 

my upgrade yesterday brought me in a new Xorg, now version 1:7.2-3. 
After that, the xserver didn't find my nvidia-module anymore. I 
recompiled the sources I had (1.0.8776-4), but Xorg didn't recognize the 
driver, although it was on it's right place. 

Then I tried a new version of nvidia-kernel-source, 1.0.9755-1, compiled 
and installed it with "m-a prepare" & "m-a a-i nvidia" and all went ok. 
But since then, my xserver only shows up with a framerate of 50Hz - 
before I had always 75Hz. 

I tried the Options "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE" and "ModeValidation" 
"NoEdidModes" in my xorg.conf-file, but that showed no effect - and yes, 
before I recompiled the nvidia-stuff, I removed nvidia-glx and 
re-installed it later

Before I'm getting eye-cancer, I switched to 'nv'-driver, but this isn't 
a longtime solution... 

My xorg.log is here, until June 16th: http://paste.debian.net/30463

My card is a "GeForce 6200 TurboCache", and I'm running kernel 2.6.18-4.

Has anyone a hint, what I can try to get it working?

Regards,
sigi

That was my problem too: The nvidia-driver made it possible to play 
games on my machine, but therefore I had to reinstall my whole debian 
several times, because it broke my system frequently while playing 
3d-games. 

Since I'm using nv all works perfect and stable - without gameplay,

cursor problems in firefox

2006-12-07 Thread sigi
Hi, 

since I'm using the nv-video module here, my cursor shows strange 
behaviour in any form fields in firefox: If I write something into 
formulas on websites, or even into the url-line, my cursor produces a
new cursor after every single character, when I'm using my arrow-keys 
to e.g. correct something wrong I typed in. It's very annoying, and only 
happens in my browsers like firefox and galeon...

Has anyone a hint, how I can stop this? 
I'm using xserver-xorg7.1, linux-image-2.6.18 with the built-in 
nv-driver (since my machine had a lot of crashes with built-by-myself 
nvidia-driver, I'm afraid to give it a try again - but btw with 
nvidia-driver this cursor-problem was not there.)

Thanks,

And I thought, my several really hard freezes, which made a new install 
necessary several times, did come with the by myself compiled 
nvidia-kernel-modules...?

Since I'm only using the shipped-in nv-driver, my machine is running 
very stable... I'm not able playing games since my change to 'nv' but my 
system works fine since then.

Just for your information: this two parameters do _not_ work - they both 
seem to have no affect. ifup freezes the keyboard everytime I try to 
connect my wlan-card. 

But the badest thing is: after my last apt-upgrade no available rt2570 
wlan-card-module can connect to the internet! A fiew days I could use a 
daily build from the developers-website [1], but since my last upgrade 
this doesn't work anymore. For now it's impossible for me to connect to 
the internet with my amd64-machine - and that because there are only 
smp-enabled linux-images out there for amd64 very very bad!

If I remember right, the nosmp-option produced a kernel-panic during 
boot-time, and maxcpus=1 froze the keyboard while trying to get my IP 
with ifup.

I tried this yesterday, but dpkg didn't install my custom kernel... I 
don't know, what the problem was - I tried the 'official' debian way, 
and only disabled smp-support from the debian-kernelimage config-file. 
But dpkg could not install it

Possibly I should write a new post into their forum, that they think 
about this in the future?!?

I'll try to compile my own kernel the next days... but I don't know, 
what I did wrong the last time - while it's really not complicated...

Hi, 

I know, that there is no real flashplayer for amd64 out there... but 
some times ago I had a library installed, that displayed simple 
flash-pages on the web - but I forgot it's name, and found nothing via 
google anymore... 

I think, I got it's name here on this list. It was not gnash or 
swf-player - only one little lib, which I had to install, afaik. 

Does anybody here now something else besides gnash and swf-player?

kernel without smp

2006-11-07 Thread sigi
Hi, 

as I noticed today, for my wlan-card-module, I need a kernel without 
smp-support enabled... This was the reason, my new rt2570-module always 
locked my keyboard: the prebuilt debian kernel I'm using 
(2.6.17-2-amd64) has smp enabled. 

Now, to resolve the problem, do I have to build my own kernel (what I 
not really want), or is it enough to install the package 
linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8? 

I didn't find any kernel *amd64-k8 for etch, which existed earlier, so I 
think that linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8 (as transitional package) will only 
update to the latest generic amd-kernel available? 

So, only chance to build my own one to use my rt2570-module? 


Regards,
sigi.

module rt2570 freezes debian etch

2006-11-05 Thread sigi
Hi, 

since my last upgrade on my etch-machine some days ago, the wlan-module 
for my dwl-g122 card always freezes my keyboard, when it tries to get a 
IP via dhcp... 

It was the package rt2570-source 1.1.0+cvs20060620-3 I tried to use on 
my debian-etch machine, running with kernel 2.6.17-2-amd64 and gcc-4.1.

For now I switched back to the source version rt2570-cvs-2006032410 - 
this seems to work for now, but I can't monitor it's signal-strength 
with wavemon using this version.

The source-package shipped with stable-repository did freeze my keyboard 
as well - the version I'm using now seems a lot outdated... 

Is anyone here using the same card or module and can give a hint, what's 
going wrong? 

Thanks for any reply!

etch netinstall beta3 & encryption

2006-09-07 Thread sigi
Hi, 

today I tried to install debian with the actual etch beta3 netinst.iso - 
and failed with the new encryption possibility...

I wanted to encrypt all partitions without /boot, and tried to configure 
its own partitions for '/boot' '/' and '/home'. After this partman 
showed that /boot would have a ext3-filesystem and the other two a 
logical-volume. But when the installer wants to install the base-system 
after this, it warns me about not having a root-partition.
 
I didn't find a possibility, to say at one point, which mountpoints the 
encrypted-volumes should be associated to. 
Is the encryption of the whole root-filesystem not implemented yet? For 
me it seems, that I can only encrypt a partition, which is not used 
during the installation-process, like a data-partition e.g.
Not to mention, that this whole process of encrypting partitions failed 
several times during the writing of random data on them - and the 
installer worked one time on my 5th boot of the netinst-iso, until I 
reached this partitioning-process

Did I do something wrong, or where can I prepare the whole thing, that 
its associating one logical volume to one special mountpoint?

Regards,
sigi

OK, if this is true, the performance is no argument. Another point is, 
that it possibly is more secure to have more little than one big 300GB 
partition, that it should minimize the risk of data-loss: if one 
partition crashes, the other ones should be ok. 

Yesterday I found something on a ubuntu-forum in the net: For me it 
looks useful... it should work on my debian-box, right?

2. Edit the startup-script to configure this partition at boot (from /dev/hda1)
Change /etc/mkinitramfs/scripts/local-top/cryptoroot from:
Code:
... if grep -q splash /proc/cmdline; then /bin/chvt 1 fi /sbin/cryptsetup 
luksOpen /dev/sda3 cryptoroot

Code:

... if grep -q splash /proc/cmdline; then /bin/chvt 1 fi echo "Enter your LUKS

read -s PASSPHRASE
echo $PASSPHRASE | /sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 cryptoroot
echo $PASSPHRASE | /sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 cryptodata

3. Update your initrd (from /dev/hda1)
sudo update-initramfs -u ALL

4. Update your /etc/fstab (from /dev/hda3) to mount it at boot
Add the line:

Is it useful, to have just a unencrypted /boot partition and encrypt all

I thought the recommended way is to encrypt /home /tmp and /var 
because there my 'personal' files are - and let the rest unencrypted

Thanks for this, but I don't want to install a whole boot-partition to
usb. The best would be, to have i.e. 3 encrypted partitions, give one 
passphrase at boottime, and that's it. Or save a keyfile on usb, which 
activates the encrypted partitions.
I didn't find anything for it via google...

etch installer and dm-crypt

2006-08-31 Thread sigi
Hi, 

during my next debian etch-install I want to give the facility to 
encrypt my hdd a try.

Now I read in the installation-howto, that it's recommended to set up 
one partition for every encrypted mount-point, like /var /tmp and /home.

This section of the howto
---
If you created encrypted volumes during the installation and assigned 
them mount points, you will be asked to enter the passphrase for each of 
these volumes during the boot. The actual procedure differs slightly 
between dm-crypt and loop-AES.
---
made me a little unhappy with this pocedure. If I understand this right, 
I would have to type a passphrase 4 times during the system boot:
3 times to access encrypted partitions and 1 time to login... this 
sounds a lot not userfriendly. 

Is there a way to set all this up, and to type the passphrase once for 
all the encrypted volumes? 
Or to make the system bootable with a key on a usb-stick inserted in 
it's slot during the boot? 

I didn't find very useful hints on the web. And if there is no 
practical solution, I think I'd better leave it all unencrypted... 

Any possibilities known here by anyone?

etch netinst question about wlan

2006-08-30 Thread sigi
Hi, 

I have to do a new debian installation next days and downloaded one of 
the netinstall iso-images (beta3) from the debian website. 

My problem is, that I need a wlan-module which is not yet packaged for 
debian, the rt2570-wlan-module.

Now I thought if it's possible, to build this module on another machine 
with same kernel an gcc as on the netinst-image and to load it manually 
during the installation-process. 

I think, it's not possible to install a basic system with such an 
netinst-image and compile the module afterwards, because the 
kernel-headers are not on this disk, am I right?

Is there any way to handle this? Or do I have to get a 
complete-debian-installation image first?

automount and etc/fstab

2006-07-29 Thread sigi
Hi all, 

since I reinstalled my system, I'm wondering, why my second hdd is 
always mounted automatically after each new boot.

My /etc/fstab shows for this two partitions on this disk the following 
entries: 

/dev/hdb3   /daten1  ext3noauto,rw,user  0   2
/dev/hdb1   /daten2  ext3noauto,rw,user  0   2

I thought, that this entries should prevent the automount - and I 
think, this worked before.

Can anyone give me a hint, which other package manages the mount-options 
during boot-time? In the past it was everytime enough to edit 
/etc/fstab ...

I'm using this package since it's released, and had only very few 
crashes. OOo only crashes while opening some MS-word files - with some 
others it has no problem. 

Saving documents failed never here - neither on .odt nor .doc-files. 
Mostly I use OOo-writer - and that package seems to work very well.

Well,  I found a last years post of you on the net, suggesting

O.K. - I hoped, that there would be any workaround...

As you may have seen my last posting on this list, I now installed 
Rene's Openoffice-2.0.2-debs and the text-processing seem to work 
properly with it... Think, I'll try them for now.

Once again: OOo2

2006-04-30 Thread sigi
Hi, 

since I had some problems, setting up my chroot and get running again 
Goswin von Brederlows openoffice-packages with amd64-archive, I found 
this note on http://openoffice.debian.net/ :

"News from the OpenOffice.org amd64 porting. It is "Nothing of 
production quality yet, but should be usable now". (please wait for 
2.0.2-3 or 2.0.3-1)"

The 'should be usable now' passage made me hopeful and I installed the 
experimental OOo-2.0.2-packages from 
http://people.debian.org/~rene/openoffice.org/2.0.2/experimental

And I only wanted to mention here, that they seem to work! Until now 
OO-writer only crashed after I tested the File > Wizards-buttons.

But, it looks nice, and seems almost working! 

Thanks a lot out there for doing this porting...! :)

Or can I just use your solution with the amd64-archive in any way? I
only wanted to use the chroot for openoffice.

I updated my system to xorg7 some days ago, and since then I can't
install your openoffice.org-package, because it seems to be depending on
xfree86-common. But if I try to install this, apt says, that it
conflicts with x11-common7... Is there anything I can do about this?

OK, thanks for the help, with sarge it worked... But how do I now

But 
debootstrap --arch i386 sid /var/chroot/sid-ia32 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/

ignoring this and trying: 
chroot /var/chroot/sid-ia32

gives this:

So, where do I get the base-config files? Are they not available

OK,

So, it's as you said nvidiafb here.

Building the nvidia-kernel went fine. 
But I can't build nvidia-glx. If I try the "dpkg-buildpackage" it 
shows this errormessages at the end:

I actually use the nvidia-driver. I had build it for the sarge-kernel 
2.6.8. and was surprised, that after my new installation of the 
2.6.16-kernel there automatically the module nvidiafb was used... 
So, I think, that this module now is natively supported by newer kernels..?

Actually I did not use dselect or aptitude this time, but only apt-get 
with the -t stable, -t testing or -t unstable option. With this 
method now all works fine. Aptitude did a mess last time with it's 
update! 

And to answer your last question: 
Up to now I use the stable xserver-xfree86. I didn't try to upgrade to 
Xorg, yet. Last time I said aptitude to install Xorg, it wanted to 
uninstall almost all my gnome and kde packages and broke it all up.

Thanks a lot for your answer! So, I'll wait some days...

And now I made it, to install a 2.6.16-kernel on sarge and nothing bad 
happened this time... graphics and sound are runnning now.

But now, I have another question: where can I get packages like 
libdvdcss to access my DVDs? All the marillat-mirrors I know seem to 
be down actually: nerim..., spello..., ucla...

Is there any mirror running out there?

Hmm, this sounds really bad! With this sarge-installation I recently 
can't print or scan and have no sound (nForce-based too)... With my 
formerly testing/unstable-installation all this worked fine. 

But I don't like to download this DVD-isos for testing again, and

my wlan-card isn't recognized from debian during installation yet... 

I hope, there is a way to do a upgrade from sarge to etch?

dist-upgrade sarge to etch

2006-04-23 Thread sigi
Hi, 

some days ago I had to reinstall my system, and I chose debian sarge to 
install on it. Now, I liked to have more recent packages on my machine, 
like I had before. 

I tried a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' but this wants me to uninstall nearly 
my whole gnome and kde stuff... totally over 300 packages. 

Is this normal, and I should reinstall this packages, after the upgrade, 
or is there sonething wrong with this? 

In my sources.list I only have the 'official' mirrors listed, up to now: 

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

Is there something wrong here, or should I risk this upgrade?

problems with gnome and aptitude...

Hi, 

since yesterday I'm unable to start my gnome-desktop. After a crash of 
my system gnome doesn't start, but kde works. Everytime I start a 
gnome-program under kde, a window comes up, explaining, that there is a 
problem with loading my configurations. There is a CORBA-problem it 
says: 


"Der Client konnte auf Grund eines CORBA-Fehlers nicht zur Serverliste 
hinzugefügt werden: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0"


The second thing is, that I can't do anything with 
dselect/aptitude/dpkg, because everytime I try to install or remove 
anything, it shows this warning:

This warning occurs everytime I want to use apt...

The last thing since yesterday is this message during boottime:

what does this mean? It's impossible to reinstall/uninstall xfs, because 
of my apt-problem above

All this happens since my crash yesterday

Has anybody out there an idea what I can do about it? 

Thanks for any hints!

Here on my machine, the nvidia-driver works a lot faster than

It works better with my console, too - e.g. shows no broken

formerly I used a ATI graphics-card (ATI Radeon 7000 PCI), and I 
really didn't like the quality of it, using it with Xorg 6.9 and the 
ati-driver. It was always flickering horicontically very bad.

I decided to sell this card and bought a nVidia PCIe-Card (ASUS 
N6200TC), installed the nVidia-driver-debs and all works very fine 
now... 

With the experience I had with this, I would say: 
nVidia really is the better choice!

I have the same problem with my Radeon 7000 PCI-Card  and the

Using the vesa-driver, the problem is less problematic.

console breaks up

2005-12-11 Thread sigi
Hi, 

since I'm using a DLink-DWL-G122 wireless usb-adapter with the module 
rt2570 [1] with the kernel 2.6.14-2-amd64-k8 to connect my computer to 
the internet, my console breaks on startup everytime and only shows 
some horrible flickering. 
Switching through consoles 1 to 9 doesn't change the behaviour.  

The computer reaches X, and under the xserver all seems running normal, 
only the consoles are flickering. 

In the forum of the module-maintainers, they had no useful ideas to 
solve the problem. Could it be a debian-amd64 specific problem? 

Here [2] you can find the debug-output of the module - but there seems 
to be nothing special in it.

greetings,

now I tried this on my machine - but it still does not work.
I followed your instructions here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/07/msg00663.html
and your lines above. but apt always says that openoffice.org depends on 
openoffice.org-bin, which should not installed... 
if I type 
apt-get install openoffice.org-bin
it says, this depends on 
ia32-libdb4.2 and 
ia32-libxinerama1 which are both not available

if I make a apt-get update, it says

Hole:1 file: etch Release.gpg [189B] 

but later on

Ign  file: etch Release
Ign  file: etch/main Packages
Ign  file: etch/contrib Packages
Ign  file: etch/non-free Packages

is this the reason, it doesn't work? 
Any suggestions, what I can do? 

regards,
sigi.

But abiword doesn't support doc/rtf-files as good as openoffice does.

Hi,

has anyone out there a link to a mplayer and libdvdcss-mirror for amd64? 

my collected sources seem not to be accessible since some weeks...
in my sources.list I wrote the following:

#mplayer
deb http://spello.sscnet.ucla.edu/marillat/ unstable main
deb http://cyberspace.ucla.edu/marillat/ unstable main
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 unstable main contrib non-free
#libdvdcss
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main

and my first install worked with this, but now dselect always announces, 
that he can't find Packages.gz or can't reach the address (nerim.net)

thanks for your sources...

I'm now running a D-LINK DWL-G122 (rev B1) successfully!
I had to download the rt2570 USB nightly CVS tarball [1]

But why do I have these problems since yesterday? And why do I have the

How/Where can I correct this?

before it's an official release, you can do it like this, I think:

When it will be added officially on debain-amd64, I don'nt know.
But the basic official release of OOo2 will be on 14th of October, I
think...

I just copied the file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf into my homedir as 
~/.mplayer.config and uncommented the last three lines as follows

snip--

# get a default OSD font from fontconfig
fontconfig = yes
font = "Sans"
subfont-text-scale = 3

snap--

and it all worked.

thanks a lot for this... 

what do you think about this: 

I have made the following steps:

1) Loading of openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.diff.gz, 
   openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc, openoffice.org2_1.9.121.orig.tar.gz
   from the location
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/

2) In the loading directory I have given the following commands 
   dpkg-source -x openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc
   cd openoffice.org2_1.9.121
3) I have edited the file debian/control with "vi debian/control" and
   I have changed all the occurrence i386 (near Architecture) 
   with amd64.

Note: I don't remember if I have also adjusted the Dependencies

4) I have given the command 
   dpkg-buildpackage 
   which have constructed many packages. 

which I found in this list-archive of one month ago... 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/09/msg00019.html

which is the better solution?

hope, I don't bore you all with this.
