The current libgmp is broken. In my home dir on faure is a slightly older .deb that fixes that - someone should really fix it correctly. Jason

Yeah after getting apt working I tried install ssh and it seems to be looping while generating the host key. Anyone else had problems with ssh on IPCs?

X-serwer
Hi, I've a problem with my Xserwer on sparc20 with debian 2.1 (slink), kernel - 2.2.1. When i type startx i'm able only to see a red bar around my sceen. On the console i've got: (using VT number 7) Fatal server error: no screens found X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Any ideas? I'm new in it. Thanks, -M. -- rznvy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uggc://jjj.ct.tqn.cy/~zntvp Pmlzmr wrfg mlpvr, wrfyv avr hfgnjvpman zbmyvjbfpvn cbcryavnavn oyrqbj.
Pthread brokenness
Hi all, I have finally tracked the mysterious freezes in apt-get on certain non-intel platforms to some bizzar bug in libpthread. When APT is linked to the pthread library it will get stuck in pthread functions doing nice infinite loops on some specific hardware platforms. Several people have reported this on sparc IPCs and one has reported it on a Mac m68k. I don't have much details about the exact configurations of the machines. Removing pthreads immediately cures all problems and APT works as it should on these specific bits of hardware. This is odd because the apt-get program doesn't actually use pthreads - pthread capability is in libapt-pkg for use by one of the experimental GUIs. My initial guess is that something about the specific CPU type is confusing pthread. Pthread relies on a cpu atomic move and exchange or test and exchange opcode - if this opcode isn't found it falls back to something else. There is a good chance that this something else is buggy somehow. If anyone knows much about this then it would be great to get it fixed - maybe a simple program that excecises pthread functions would bring the real problem to light - APT seems to just be unlucky :< Otherwise, let this be a warning that pthread in certain rare situations simply does not work and must not be linked to any programs. Future APT releases will not be linked to pthreads. A pre-release [not yet in CVS] is at http://faure.debian.org/~jgg/ please test if if you have had this problem. Jason
Faure, Kubrick and Albert
VA has sent us a pair of 9G SCSI disks that they no longer needed and one has been installed into faure by Mark and Adam at Novare to replace the previously failed disk. The other is slated to go into Kubrick in a little while. All three machines are properly running again with another 6G more disk space! The content of the old home directory disk has however been lost. All the passwords are set to the passwords on master. Home dirs on the cluster are created automatically on login, but only faure does this right now. Jason Debian Admin
