Re: cant boot with kernel 2.6.8
Try doing a "make mrproper" to delete the existing .config file. Then do "make config" or "make menuconfig", etc., and build a new .config file. With the exception of the processor type, don't make any changes to the default .config file. Then try to compile it and see what happens. This has worked for me on more than one occasion. I'm not sure what if any hardware detection goes on, but it's worked in the past. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Transport debian woody from laptop to PC
Hi all, thanx a lot for answering. What I did in the end: 1) Created the partitions needed for debian 2) Tared the whole directory (tar cvzf /mnt/FreeBSD/root.bak-20041007.tar.gz . --exclude=proc --exclude=mnt) to a NFS directory - on my PC I use FreeBSD as a kind of backup server for my debian box 3) untared the archive to the new debian partition (reconfigured lilo) 4) changed the environment to fit with the PC settings (pcmcia, sound, xserver ...) So in the end I would say that everything works except one thing: I cannot use my ppp configuration anymor - trying to pon my provider gives me alway: chat alarm, chat Failed, pppd Connect script failed. I now have to figure out why - yesterday it was to late for me. So thanx for all the help and answering.

Tetex problem: twocolumn is not working properly
[I'm not sure where to take this question, but since it seems to have only happened with tetex, which I obtain as a Sid package, perhaps someone here will know about this.[ Something is not working properly on this installation of TeX/LaTeX. At home, I wrote an exam, emailing it to work. At work, using TeTeX, the formatting of the two column mode is not working: both columns of the test (I use examdesign.cls for exams) are crammed into the left column of the page, while the headings, etc., at the top of the page are all ok, across the whole page, as intended. I've seen this before, when trying to print from examdesign with the paralist package, and I have seen it when two TeX distributions are both installed on the system (TeTeX from Debian and TeXlive as well): when I removed TeTeX from that system, the problem ceased. That was a year ago, however. Now, the problem has crept up a couple of times again. This time, I am at a loss. Any suggestions? Alan Davis Kagman High School Saipan, N.

I had included a strace in the original message; I will include it
here again.
I don't really understand what's going on. It seems to reading
XErrorDB - that file does exist. But then it gets some kind of X
Window System error. I don't appear to have this happening for any
other X Window apps - just the browsers my family uses.
That file has a date of 28 Sep 2004 and is part of xlibs-data; this
package doesn't appear to have any kind of bugs that will cause these
sorts of crashes.

I know GIMP is the preferred tool for a lot of people, but I've generally found the ImageMagick suite (convert or mogrify, in this case) to be easier to use for simple things. For example, if you want to crop to a particular size centered at a particular point, it's easy to do this with convert and the "-crop" option. Rotating and scaling are similarly easy to do. Where the GIMP is better is when you have to do anything complicated or you want to eyeball the crop region. I even have a script that takes a directory of images, creates small and thumbnail versions using mogrify, and creates skeleton HTML files for them.

Re: Good tool for light photo editing?
You know, I think the Gimp may be a little heavyweight for what the original poster was looking to do. Learning to use it for a beginner might be intimidating. Are there any imaging apps that only do the basic stuff like rotation, cropping, and scaling, and are very easy to use? There must be something. It would also be nice to have something that can work systematically on a whole directory full of images, rather than having to go to the file browser to open and save each one. I've got much the same problem. I have several Photo CDs and Picture CDs with hundreds of images on them, many of which I'd like to put on my website. To do all the necessary editing by hand with The Gimp seems like such an enormous task that I've put off doing it for about five years now, during which digital photos continue to accumulate. I know there are several thumbnailers listed at freshmeat but I don't want to have to evaluate them all. Maybe you can recommend one. And a program that did thumbnailing, but was also interactive so I could do simple things like cropping and rotation would be great.

Wine is segfaulting after upgrade
I am running Sarge and have been very happy with the way that wine has been working (actually running winword for when I need complete compatablity). A few days ago, however, wine got updated when I did an 'apt-get upgrade' and it now segfaults with the following error in the log file: $ cat /tmp/wine.log.sySWlj /usr/bin/wine: line 474: 3835 Segmentation fault $WINEBIN/$WINE_BIN_NAME $DASH "$@" Does anyone know what is causing this? I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling my previous version of wine, wine-utils and libwine, but I am still getting this error. Any help would be appreciated.

While this may be true, if you want to use multiple compiler versions at the same time under Debian, you can, by referring to gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.3 where you would otherwise refer to gcc. Many Makefiles read the compiler to use out of the CC and CXX environment variables, so this is not nearly as painful as you seem to think it is. I maintain a multi-user environment where we use both gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.4, and it works fine. M pgpOmb7vwTNhK.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'd suggest trying to clear out your .galeon directory (or just move it out of the way temporarily to something like .galeon.old) and then trying again. If that doesn't work, I'd start looking at the plugins that you're using and see if temporarily removing any of those fixes it. Other than that, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Browser Crashes
Hi
For the last couple of weeks, my kids and I have all experienced
browser crashes on various sites.
We use any one of firefox, mozilla or galeon.
I've just crashed all 3 browsers on this URL,
http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/ .
Each browser produces the following dump (see below cut line) when
strace'd (galeon is replaced with gecko for firefox and mozilla).
I've checked bug reports for the 3 browsers; I don't see anybody
reporting something similar.
I should add, in case this has something to do with X Window, that I
use the latest Nvidia drivers. But I haven't seen these browsers
crash so frequently like this before (and I've used Nvidia drivers for
a long time).
This is driving the kids and I nuts now (I'm using w3m at the moment).
Ideas?

A better option I found when having two version of gcc is this. When two version are installed, gcc is a symbolic link to one of it. So whenever you need to switch between the versions, simply change the symbolic link to the specific compiler. That should work, atleast for me on x86. :-) Unfortunately this is not practicle on a multi user machine where different users may want to use different versions of the compiler. gcc is designed to have multiple versions installed and be able to call it from the common driver program, usually the driver of the latest version. The real solution is to fix the build and/or filesystem to behave as gcc designers and architects intended. Thanks for the suggestion though.

apache2 upgrade broke wordpress install
Hi, I have a wordpress blog on an apache 1.3 powered sarge box. I am trying to upgrade to apache2 but some things don't work. In particular the wordpress (using php4) blog now return empty pages, while for example the bbclone statistics page still work. See http://www.coffeebreaks.org/~jerome/wordpress/index.php for the blog. Click on stats for the bbclone page. E.g. of an apache2 log from a browser reading my blog page: 193.212.132.34 - - [06/Oct/2004:11:35:26 +0200] "GET /~jerome/wordpress/index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (comp atible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" Notice the empty 'size' field.

Not detecting Realtek RTL 8139 Network card - Sarge - testing build of Oct 4th.
Hi: I downloaded the following file Sarge CD1 of Oct 4th testing build. http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/i386/sarge-i386-1.iso and burned the image to a CD. After booting using the CD, i started the installation of the Debian Sarge. The boot/installation software was not able to detect my network adapter (Realtek RTL 8139). However when I run the WoodyR2 disk 1 and run the installation program it does detect the network adapter. Could this be an error/bug with the installation s/w of Sarge ? Thanks.

Shorewall question
Hi, yesterday I tried to activate shorewall as a firewall on a 2.6.8.1 kernel. (using a woody system, and the backport from backports.org) Everything worked just fine, except for one teensy problem: - Nothing on the firewall could send mail to other users on the firewall. Needless to say, this breaks things like logcheck (Which is how I noticed it in the first place) Some observations: - Rebooted to a 2.4 kernel with ipchains: all mail was handled. - telnet 127.0.0.1 25 works, both kernels - telnet 127.0.0.1 465 doesn't, both kernels. I don't believe it is the kernel, but rather something silly in my shorewall config ? Anybody got any hints ?

Well, sure, if the symlink's been amended, it should do that. But then, if you don't have a symlink, surely you'd just need to amend the kernel name in menu.lst instead, and leave it to boot just the same?
