Re: Unable to create io-slave: unknown protocol file

2000-12-17 Thread John Gay


No, I don't have a partial woody. But the dist-upgrade was some time
ago. Maybe I should do one again, are the perl 5.6 problems solved?

As far as I know, the perl problems are woody-only, so a dist-upgrade from
stable shouldn't introduce this problem.

The thing that is really weird, is that it worked as soon I reverted from
kernel-2.4.0-test12 to kernel-2.2.17.
The packages for kde 2.0.1 were working flawlessly with the 2.4.0-testXX
kernel series.


I'm not a programmer and don't know a whole lot about io-slave processes, but I
do know the the 2.4 series of kernels has a completely different IP stack
system. This might be the root of your problem. I know when I did a dist-upgrade
on a gateway PC from slink to potato and it killed all the network stuff because
it didn't update the kernel, or didn't update the packages, I'm not sure which.
I just replaced the system with SmoothWall which is far superior to what I had
put together myself.

I'd recommend going back to the 2.4 series kernel. it should be ready for
release any year now : ).

Cheers,

 John Gay

No, I'm already running woody, XFree4 was the driving force to do a 
dist-upgrade in October :)
I'll do a dist-upgrade again, maybe it is an weird issue with glibc2.2.

Btw: Thanks for providing KDE packages. Great work!

WfG, Chris

I'm not even suggesting you upgrade to woody. :)

All I was saying is the person who was having the problem had a mixed woody/
potato install.

but yes, you should make sure you have the latest packages (potato if your
running potato)

that bug report is for a system that is part potato and part woody. 

The problem is that I have not seen any problems like this so far...and unless
you have a part potato and part woody install then all we have so far is 2
unique instances that are similar.
