Kernel compile fails.

2006-01-26 Thread Alejandro Bonilla Beeche

Hi,

   I have a box with Sid with the latest upgrades, (almost cause 
dist-upgrade wants to remove a lot of stuff)


Anyway, fact is that I can't compile any kernel on the Linus tree. This, 
for more than a month.


Could anyone please help me find out which package is the broken one? 
/bin/sh in Bash.


Thanks,

make-kpkg fails, Bug?

2006-01-18 Thread Alejandro Bonilla Beeche

Hi,

   I just did an upgrade on Sid and an upgrade on Linus tree. Since 
then, I can't create a kernel-image.

I just would love to know if we should set a bug on kernel-package 
(AFAIK, that is the one in charge?) or if it's Linus tree.

How to debug - apachetop

Hi,

After the actual error I got with apachetop:
debian:~# apachetop -f /var/log/apache/access.log

I want to learn how to debug and see what went wrong. How can I learn to debug
this kind of things or how can I enable some debugging for this kind of things?

gconf transition

2006-01-06 Thread Alejandro Bonilla
Hi,

I just upgraded Sid and rebooted, after that, logging into Gnome told me if I
wanted to migrate to a Single file that will give me better performance, so of
course I said yes. It logged me off and everytime that I need to log back in,
it kicks me out.

I don't have any special scripts, I just use some PAM for the FingerPrint
reader. Still, ignoring the fingerprint authentication, it fails.

Sorry for jumping in, but if you want more Contributions, show the Volunteers
how to do things.

Linux has thousands on Volunteers and lots of people could do a lot more
things, fact is that people are not teached on how to get started. I don't
know how to.

I could support or maintain some packages if I could be teached once, and if
the mentoring process to get ownership of one package wouldn't be a pain. I
once wanted to make a package for the ieee80211 stack or another small
package, but NO. I had to know someone, that the someone had a developer
friend that would actually trust me, to ever be able to try posting something.

1. It's too much of a pain, yes you are making it really complicated.
2. People could be teached on how to do or make new versions of packages or
things like that.
3. I say, leave the easy packages for newbie debian helpers and let the
difficult ones for the old-timers on Debian.

I would love to help, but the fact is that people that know how to do these
things like they know the palm of their hands, don't share information or
actually show people how to do things. I don't even know what is the whole
deal that is done when people move from gnome2.10 to gnome2.12. (I know is not
only packaging and uploading)

 There's a special mailing list for getting in touch with developers that
 might be interested in sponsoring you -- try [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They end up taking the project and maintaining them. Which is really fine by
me, but I will give it a shot again.

 that is exactly is happening in those projects i and enrico
 mentioned above. it does not start with sponsoring but with
 working together. that leads to shoing how to do things, if
 that is required.

Cool, on which projects?

 There is plenty of documentation about how to get started in 
 creating a Debian package.  Perhaps it's hard to find?  Two great 
 starting points are the Debian Mentors FAQ: 
 http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html and the 
 New Maintainer's Guide (in the maint-guide Debian package, available 
 in eleven languages).

Thanks for the info, I will look into it.

 
 The Debian Women project has created some documentation on their 
 wiki: http://women.alioth.debian.org/wiki/index.php/English/PackagingTutorial
 (see also the other links under Articles in the sidebar)
 
 and they also have a mentoring program:
 http://women.alioth.debian.org/mentoring/
 
  I don't even know what is the whole deal that is done when people
  move from gnome2.10 to gnome2.12. (I know is not only packaging and
  uploading)
 
 Do you ask this from the perspective of a packager, or a user?  If 
 you are packaging Gnome applications you may want to subscribe to 
 the debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org list.  However, Gnome-related software
 that is not part of the core set of Gnome packages should continue to
 build and work through the transition, since the Gnome people haven't
 changed the API or ABI of their libraries in a long time.  If you are
 just using Gnome apps, everything should continue to Just Work (TM) -
 - if not, file a bug.
 
 If instead your question is, how did the Debian Gnome team update their
 packaging to build Gnome 2.12 instead of Gnome 2.10? -- this I don't
 know.  You'll have to ask them directly, or else apt-get the source and
 see for yourself.  But I don't understand why you need this information
 (aside from curiosity) unless you are planning to join the Gnome team
 yourself.

Well, I could join any team that would actually need any help and that they
could mentor someone on how to do the job.

I said gnome because is one of the most normal things that constantly have to
be moved from versions and versions... And I mean, how they really do it. I'm
also part of debian-gtk ML and there isn't much activity (or i'm in the wrong 
one)

Thanks for the info!

 Huh?  That's just not true.
 
 You can make a package all on your own, no problem at all.  Look at 
 http://www.us.debian.org/devel/, most relevant documentation is 
 linked from there.  Ask anybody on pretty much any IRC channel or 
 mailing list about Debian, and somebody will point you probably to 
 the debian-mentors mailing list.  In my experience, if you have 
 actual packaging problems you will get answers. (your question about 
 HDAPS got you two offers of help - I didn't research if I found any 
 later results, but to me that looked not too bad.)

The HDAPS guys did a great and fast Job and they packaged things up and it all
works so far. They were of great help.

I most have not digged in enough and fact is that I got to a point that it was
easier to throw the ball to someone for them to package stuff up. ;-)

 
 Packaging is hard work, and you'll have to learn a lot, but you can 
 do everything you need except actually upload the package.  Only in 
 the end will you need a DD to do the upload.

True, OK. I will look at how to package and if I find something interesting
then I will look for a DD.

Thanks,

.Alejandro

make-kpkg

2005-12-16 Thread Alejandro Bonilla
Hi,

I see that the new make-kpkg creates a linux-image which now goes along with
the debian names that moved from kernel-image to linux-image. Cool.

One thing is that I do a lot, is to test linux-2.6-git, and making different
kernel names for the kernels is really a pain, even I would have to edit grub
or have a zillion of grub entries.

What I do is I build make-kpkg --revision=PC.v1.bla kernel_image. If it goes
along with the 2.6.15-rc5 and I have created several images for that version,
then i don't really bother with grub, it is just overwritten, which is what I
really *want*. So, the new windows tell me that if I'm sure to install the
same version again and bla bla, I say I want to but then, did it work or not?

debian:~# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.15-rc5_T42.v2.5_i386.deb

So if there would live a person in cuba working hard on debian

I couldn't care less about the US government. Is just the fact that if 
the PC is done in any of the associated countries, they are not allowed 
to distribute to those countrys. In other words, MIT, Intel, AMD or 
whoever OEM that is actually part of the US would never be allowed to 
ship to Cuba. Never. It would have to be all done by some Japan company 
or so.

What exacly did you mean writing about 'developing countries'?
   



i meant countries/persons who can not have a hope of buying a
computer (but only use one in the computer room in their
university or their neighbour's for their debian work) and who's
income is so low that they would need many months savings of
their complete income to be able to afford a cheap one. 


i can try to come up with a list of countries if it helps.
 

Is not about the country. Is the fact that some people can't have the 
option to choose from a $1200 to a $100 computer.  Or maybe, not even that.


Don't generalize by saying the name of a country.

How can I help debian?

2005-10-24 Thread Alejandro Bonilla
Hi there,

I was planning on purchasing some HD's and hardware to make a release mirror
or a apt-get mirror for Debian users... you know, to be of some help like
others have done.

Because of my limited bandwidth, 1mb/512 or 2mb/1mb I was thinking that I
could do a local mirror for my country (Costa Rica) to provide releases of
Debian Full CD's or for an apt repo. Maybe Sid's?

Sorry for asking here, I have no idea where else, (I could actually browse the
whole mailing list directory for a better place, but maybe is OK here.

What is maybe more needed to give, a mirror for release or for Sid?
How many GB or TB would be needed to make a Sid mirror?
Can this be done by putting a cluster with 2-3 P3-512MB RAM systems? Should I
better use a Dual-Core system?
Is more hardware needed?

What other service could I give to the local or global Debian?

Thanks for your time.

 or in /etc/hotplug/blacklist
 
 but first have a look at your modules:
 
 lsmod | grep snd
 
 This module is known to break sound.

That did it, unloaded the snd-intel8x0 and 8x0m and then reloaded i810_audio
and things worked again... Maybe hotplug was keeping this back and now udev is
not. Anyway, it works now.

 Udev currently gets run by S04udev, /etc/modules is processed by 
 S20module-init-tools. I think the processing of module-init-tools is 
 going to be moved earlier in the boot sequence in a subsequent update.

Cool, this should fix that problem... All my network adapters changed ethX
values because I have them defined as the right order in /etc/modules

Is really cosmetic, kind of... But if it's being looked then I'm OK.

 Do an lspci -n, and look up your card's Vendor and Device IDs in 
 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.pcimap. If the corresponding module 
 is not being loaded then file a bug against udev.

Sound works good now, modem driver was breaking it.

ACPI problem on Sid

2005-10-11 Thread Alejandro Bonilla
Hi all,

This ain't a development question, but it can be a bug...

I was wondering, could this be related to Sid or with the kernel itself?

The battery meter icon in gnome goes to n/a.

IBM T42, Sid 2.6.14-rc4-git latest, but I have seen this behavior before...

dmesg is full of:

ACPI-0213: *** Error: Method reached maximum reentrancy limit (255)
ACPI-0508: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT0._BIF] (Node c14cd4c0), AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT

A reboot normally fixes this, but I have only seen this 3 times.

/etc/init.d/acpid restart has no effect.

 Don't do it. See the previous thread titled 'udev'.
 
 Your mouse will no longer work.
 
 There's a new version of udev coming soon which can safely replace hotplug.

OK Clinton! ;-)

So, udev is replacing hotplug for good? I guess that I will give it a try
later on...

Also, did anyone try a ipw2100 or ipw2200 with this? Will
/etc/hotplug/firmware agent still work by loading the firmwares with no
additional action from the driver code?

HDAPS Package, Someone In?

2005-09-14 Thread Alejandro Bonilla
Hi,

I manage the HDAPS driver for the IBM ThinkPad's with the Active
Protection system. Now that our driver is in mainline -git (Thanks to Robert
Love), we might want to consider people to start making packages for our
utils.

Basically I have seen the whole semi-god process that one has to do in
order to be able to maintain and have packages in the repositories.

Can someone help me with making a deb package for the hdaps-utils?
(hdaps.sf.net) Download section / then click on IBM HDAPS Source Download.

We are on the process of merging all the apps into one ball, but I was
wondering if I could count with someone by now.

Thanks!
