Yeap. I've seen similar stuff on Splack, Gentoo and Sid while using two X clients. -- Alvaro Figueroa

I think I remember Dave saying this was a problem that wouldn't be fixed anytime soon, if at all.

Re: [DebToo-Devel] Some benchmarks from using apt-fu + modified pentium-builder
Problem is current libssl package doesn't build in sparc32 environment. There's a bug in the package build setup. BTW, lsh was recommended and it works wonders. Slightly less than 2 seconds to setup ssh/cvs-over-ssh, which is remarkably better than the 10 or so seconds for setting up ssh via openssl. My email TSL still routes via openssl/libssl and takes the 10 seconds, but otherwise ...

Sunblade 2000 hangs hard, related to X
I have four SunBlade 2000s running Debian sid. For the most part they work great, but if the "wrong" key(s) are pressed, the machine hangs hard, so that the CAPS lock/Numlock indicators don't work, and the machine can no longer be pinged or ssh'd into. Power cycling is the only recourse available. If at kdm's login screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-F8 to go to the second X session, things are fine IF there's a second X session on -F8; if not, the machine hangs. If from a VT (say, Alt-F2), I press Alt-F8 to go to the second X session, things are fine IF there's a second X session on -F8; if not, the machine hangs. If from anywhere, I press Stop-A, the machine hangs. If' I'm at a VT, I see the message "Type 'go' to resume ok", but "go" doesn't do anything; the machine's totally hung. This happens even if I shut down kdm first. There may be other keystrokes that hang the machine also, but these are duplicatable, every time. Any clues? Thanks! -- Kent

Then you need to unset the OBP settings that have made this manadtory. The default default is to use serial if there not a FB and a keyboard. -- Paul
XMMS Sound
Hi, I've changed from Woody 3 stable to unstable. All seems ok, lots of nice new packages and desktop. But sound is a problem. The modules are loaded and /dev/dsp seems to work with things like mpg123 - but xmms doesn't want to play. I've tried all the output drivers. Does anyone know what I should change/configure to make it work. Thanks, Jon
