Re: Problem: update hell: apt-get gives segmentation fault consistently
Dear Mungo, No special treatment for newbies aside from recommending the essay 'How to Ask Questions the Right Way' in the case of obtuse questioners. You don't match that, so I'll go right into troubleshooting. Please post your /etc/apt/sources.list file - 'testing' used to be the same as 'lenny', but has not been since 14 feburuary when lenny was declared stable, with version 5.0. I'm imagining two sources in the file mismatching somehow. [ snip ] So how do I extricate myself out of this mire: I'd love to obtain a working apt-get that doesn't hit a segmentation violation, but the only mechanism I know of to get a new version is to use the existing (broken) apt-get, hence I am in catch 22 situation! [ snip ] you could always manually wget the latest apt-get package (and its dependancies) and and use dpkg to install them - but let's save that howto for if it's actually needed.

For sites like youtube (admittedly, not tested recently on ppc - I haven't booted my G5 for a while) it is still a bit hit-and-miss. e.g. a couple of days ago I found a link to a Pt1 of an old film - didn't do anything, but Pt2 of the same film was fine. FWIW, I also tried swfdec on x86 - it crashed (self-compiled) firefox twice. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Wifi configuration Debian Lenny Ibook G3
Hello good news, in my home I can connect with the wireless!!!
But in my job not =(
I only try with ifup eth1, step by step I can!!! the next step is the
network in my job.
Thanks to all...
2009/2/20 Esteban Monge esteban.franci...@gmail.com:
My idea is create a little xdialog program to conect with my home, my work,
or open wireless networks, also like run the command for study and learn in
one future I want help more people... =)
Thanks Geoff for your patiente and attention!!! Also to the rest of the

Hi Esteban,

Hello again I checked the process again and have the next problem, I run
the
next command:
mimaquina:/# wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
The wpa_supplicant output you provided looks fine, as your device is
associated
to a WPA-protected access point. I am not sure why you are executing this
command directly, instead of just using ifup eth1.
My wpa_supplicant.conf file is:
[snip]
network
{
ssid=linksys
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk=laclave
}
This configuration block is invalid. Executing wpa_supplicant directly
would
have complained to you about it:
Line 7: Invalid configuration line 'network'.
Line 8: Invalid configuration line '{'.
Line 9: Invalid configuration line 'ssid=linksys'.
(etc.)
Failed to read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
It should use the following syntax (note the first line):
network={
ssid=linksys
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
(etc.)
}
My /etc/network/interfaces is:
[snip]
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I need help...
You need help with what, exactly? wpa_supplicant - and the orinoco
driver, by
extension - appear to be working correctly.
I'm assuming because you executed wpa_supplicant manually, you didn't run
dhclient eth1 to obtain a DHCP lease after association, in order for an
IP
address to be assigned to this wireless interface.
Run ifup eth1 instead, as this will call both wpa_supplicant and
dhclient as
necessary. See also interfaces(5).
Geoff
