I make sure that the new partitions are the size I'm going to need, based on experience, and initialize them with the file systems I'm going to use.

In one of my tries, one of the problem packages I was advised to remove was aptitude itself! I didn't think that was a good idea. Normally, when tracking testing, there are a few packages that can't be updated because of dependency problems. But usually, the dependencies drift in from sid in a few days.

Re: kde Desktop on wheezy - nvidiacard - production ready?
Hendrik, I see. Now that's another statement ! Maybe you should move to grub then, within Squeeze, and also try to upgrade only the 'problem' packages first ? if that's all fine, to the rest ? I always do such things within aptitude, maybe in several cycles, since it gives me more choices than just running --upgrade. Including the choice to simply deinstall some apps temporarily (keep a list) and reinstall when everything else is fine. I admit this is not what you would expect from a package management that provides --upgrade, but at least, there is a chance. There should be good reason why you would upgrade an Ubuntu (for example) only in minor consecutive version steps. In Debian, this resembles tracking 'testing' all the time. The only alternative that i know, is temporarily deinstall blocking / broken things, and manually decide and process major changes (like moving to grub or upstart). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Downgrading is easy only if you have a *complete* copy of your old system elsewhere so you wipe out the neew one and restore the old.

(down to 211 release critical bugs !! ) I'm running wheezy on all my machines except my server, with no problems. My apt/sources.list ways 'testing' or 'wheezy'; I set it to that the day sqeeze went stable. But I'm using icewm and xfce as window managers. I've tried upgrading my server from squeeze to wheezy several times and have had horrendous diffculty. My system resides on lvm over RAID. squeeze's Lilo has trouble booting the wheezy kernel. It seemms that sonething is too big for it. squeeze's grub manages. If while upgrading you don't establish bootablity of wheeze before the first reboot, you/re stuck. If you get past those hurdles, there are others. Finally, upgrading all the packages is dependency hell. As I said, I tried twice last October to December. Each time I had to revert to squeeze (of whichh I still had an intact copy on other partitions) Maybe things are better now, Maybe the upgrade problems are some of the relese-critical bugs, New installation, though, is easy, as long as you don't have a lot of configuration infrastructure. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Update of KDE changes personal settings
Dear maintainers, in the past I discovered, that an update of KDE on a debian-amd64 system is changing personal settings. As I read, this behaviour is against the rules of debian, so I found it worth, to remark it. I at least found to changes out: 1. the settings for files with an ending FLV (flash video) are changed. 2. the rights of bluetooth (namely the kbluetooth-server) and the network access (namely Knemo) are delimitered and do no more work for normal users.

The "kde" package is just a meta-package: It does not really contain anything, but its dependencies make sure that a complete KDE system is pulled in if you run "apt-get install kde". (It depends on "kde-core", "kdeadmin", "kdeaddons", etc.) I think your apt figured out that sacrificing the meta package would allow it to perform a partial upgrade to KDE 3.5.4. "kde" should be installable again as soon as the mirror that you are using has the complete set of KDE 3.5.4 packages. For now you don't have to worry about it, but it is worthwhile to install the meta-package again in a few days so that you will automatically follow possible future changes in the packaging of KDE on Debian. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What you have posted so far is not enough. Do you have a graphical screen, with no desktop? this means your video card is recognized and you just need to get kdm or gdm working. It may also mean that you don't have the full kde or gnome desktop software to run. I don't run gnome, but if you run: apt-get install kde you will know if you have all the packages. Having your desktop automagically start up, is a setting in your kde Control Center, once you get kdm and kde up and running. Control Center ---> System Administration --> Convenience --> click on Administrator Mode & enter your root password, etc. If no grey graphical screen and only a black terminal with a login curser, means many more things are not in place. run: /etc/init.d/kdm restart (or start) and post the results. run: lspci to see what video card you have, and post the results.

Resent to ask the audience. May I add that I am at 64bit not to carry out what I can do with debian 32 testing on my PC, but to speed up quantum mechanical calculations. What I really need is X (I got beautifully as you describe below) and OpenMotif to run a package (that I could compile for 64) that uses OpenGL for the graphics engine, just to see the results in virtual space. Do you know the status of these affairs in amd64 that we have installed? Implicitly I need to recompile the generic kernel that I have installed. Compiler/libraries (Motiv or Lesstif installed)?

Re: What's the status of KDE in testing/etch?
I have not found a current kde for etch so far; however, you must have
the woody and sarge directories in your system; use find to look for
them. There you will find what seem to be some older versions of kde
and gdm; does anyone know how to make these work with etch? I suppose
they are the older versions.
I have a replaceable hard drive, so I can easily switch between 64 bit
Windows xp, sarge, and etch. kde is available in sarge, and almost
works; I just am not able to configure X properly. If I had xorgconfig
available there, I think sarge would be acceptable. I recommend setting
up so you can switch hard drives for this kind of work. My motherboard
is Asus A8N-E

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kde-core but it is not going to be installed

So I'm assuimg this all has to do with the migration over to the main

If it is correct, can somebody give me a ballpark timeline when I can

I've tried adding sarge to the repository and also had no luck.

KDE 3.4 or 3.5 sarge backports for amd64?
Backports.org used to have what looked like a complete 3.4.x backport to sarge for amd64 (although admittedly I never tried it). Now it looks as though they have a partial (and therefore not installable) 3.5.x backport for amd64... Anyone have any tips where to find a complete KDE backport for some recent version of KDE for amd64? Thanks! Dale -- Dale E.

The support you need is in the kernel, which means that you cannot use sarge "as it is" on your machine. Nonetheless, you can use just sarge + a recent kernel + a handful of backported packages from sid to support this. The backported packages would be: - module-init-tools - udev (if you use it) - yaird or initramfs (if you use an initrd to boot your machine) - nvidia support packages if you want to use non-free nvidia graphics drivers - the dependencies from the above... I don't know whether backports.org supports amd64. If it does, you can just install something like 5 packages and you have a fully functional sarge+something machine.

Hi I installed kde 3.5 on amd64 from SID. And when I want to login as a user I get this error (with root everyting is ok) in /home/$USER/.xsession-errors. First login in kde by the user working fine, but the next one have this error. And /tmp/.ICE-unix is owned by root. I know it's unstable, but is it the same on i386? Have I to wait to the new version of the packages to remove this error?

CD/DVD automount windows-like on kde 3.5?
Hi, after upgrading to xorg 6.9/kde 3.5 (fantastic, complete painless:)) I have put a my data cd with docs, photos, etc. and automatically kde showed dialog (windows-like) to choose an option for inserted cd/dvd. I have just open it, and I have clicked some audio file. Xmms was launched, but it didn't play none audio files. Automounter is not a real "partition mounter" (and so what's its usefulness)? or it must be configured? Thanks, Giulio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Santiago, i had the same problem some time ago :-) jejeje, now i use testing but in my 386 system i had an unstable install and I press "yes" without reading the apt messages... I have learnt it , and now I allways read the apt output.
Well, the way I fix that is uninstalling the whole KDE and reinstall it in testing ("apt-get -t testing install kde or something" like this and having source.list pointing to testing)... this way I can turn up the desktop. Finish that a turn again to unstable and do a apt-get upgrade (after, of course a apt-get update).
Normally I use aptitude in comand line mode, not apt-get, therefor you can change all the apt-get that I said in this text for aptitude, is the same (more or lest). Now when I use dist-upgrade a allways look for the programs is going to uninstall and, if there are too many (or very important, like k3b that allways try to uninstall) abort and try with a upgrade until dist-upgrade get working nice.
Un saludo.
P.D.: Sorry for my english, I'm spanish talking. Santiago, I can answer in spanish, but, being this an english list, i prefer to answer in (my poor) english. For respect to the other and, not lest important, to let anybody correct me if i'm wrong.

Re: KDE dont work after apt-get dist-upgrade
Wel, my advice would be to that you're probably beter off waiting a few days for the transition to finish, and then just upgrade. Otherwise (a quick search on Google found this) : http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/downgrade.html But if you really must re-install kde 3.4.2-x, then the needed files haven't gone from the debian servers yet, so you could get them and re-install them. Actually, maybe the needed .deb files are still on your disk in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? cheers, Ernest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Doubt on KDE- repository
Hi, I use this repository for KDE: http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/ Now it has partially packages for KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5RC1 (and no more for 3.4.2), but if I try to update from 3.4.3 dir, I got error. Any days ago, kde-devel packages are removed and no more "updated" for unstable-debian. Is it possibile get packages for kde 3.4.3 and kde-devel packages too? Is there an alternative repository?

Re: Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?
Thanks for you replies, it works fine by now.

No, Debian's X server package (xserver-xorg) doesn't depend on the fonts either, because they could be supplied by a font server on the network instead of local files. Given that it seemed to hard-lock your machine I think the problem is more serious than missing fonts. Possibly due to missing bind mounts; you certainly want /proc, /sys, and probably shared /tmp mounted in the chroot.

Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?
(I hope nobody is going to complain, that this question involves the word "Ubuntu". The question is not directly related to that.) I decided to install an (K)ubuntu chroot on my Debian AMD64 system, because that solves two issues for me: - the few 32bit-only applications can be run (flash, OOo, ...) - Kubuntu has the most recent KDE beta/RC packages, so I can test them and find show stoppers Since my experiences with an Etch chroot showed everything is pretty easy, I was confident that running the whole X server from within the chroot should be possible. So I installed everything in the chroot, and it works as expected, but as soon as I try to start an X server from the chroot via "startx", it fails. First it behaves normal, i.e. like switching to the X display, but before the typical X background would appear, it turns black and stays like that. I can not even switch back to the console anymore, have to do a hard reboot. The Xorg.log can be found here: http://hugelmopf.ohost.de/paste/Xorg.0.log This is the first time I try to start an X server from the chroot, because I want to try the KDE 3.5 RC1 packages, which I have installed in the chroot. Does anybody have an idea, what I need to get this running? Do I have to "bind" anything from the host system to the chroot?
