nvidia 6800 GS Random Choppy Performance
Hello all, I have a EVGA 6800 GS video card that doesn't seem to be working correctly. Here's the symtoms. 1. System runs perfectly fine for a bit. 2. Some random moment in time later everything becomes very choppy. 3. Start up a 3d app like ppracer or glxgears. (for just a second or two) 4 2D apps run perfectly fine for a bit. 5. Some random moment in time later everything become very choppy. Does anyone have any ideas where I could start looking to explain problems like this? //andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

alien and --patch
Hello all, I'm creating .debs of the oracle-xe rpm. Currently I'm able to create a .deb package by asking alien to generate (--generate) the package directory, modifying the oracle scripts to work with debian, and then running debian/rules binary within the alien generated directory. This all works fine, but I was hoping the --patch option to alien would allow me to generate a patch so in the future I can do something like this: alien --to-deb --patch mypatchfile.patch --test --scripts oracle-xe.rpm This way I can create my patch file and send the patch to friends if they ever need to generate a working .deb of the oracle-xe rpm. Problem is I can't find any documentation explaining how this patch should be generated. So my question is this: How do I generate a patch file that will work with alien's --patch option?

Install package from oldstable.
Hello all, I run unstable, but I need a package from oldstable to get an older version of java running. libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 This package is only available in oldstable. I know I can download the deb and install with dpkg but I was wondering if there was a way to get the package using apt.

Not sure what caused it but it was a combination of (custom compiled 2.6.12.6 kernel, vmware 5.0 networking, and /sbin/ifconfig). Basically I'd start vmware (/etc/init.d/vmware start), that would load the vmnet module. After that everything seemed messed up so I tried to restart my workstation. Without fail the restart would hang trying to stop shorewall. Also /sbin/ifconfig would hang if vmnet module was loaded. So I'm guessing the problem wasn't shorewalls but instead shorewall was calling a busted /sbin/ifdown or something like that. I needed a workstation in the morning so I just installed a stock debian kernel and vmware 5.5 beta. That fixed everything. Not sure if the kernel or vmware was the culprit. Anyhow I've had shorewall problems recently :). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think your gonna need iptables to block your web server. You might try shorewall if you dislike writing iptables scripts as much as I do.

I thought the question was to get rid of non "." files all together not simply
to put "." files and the top and non "." files at the bottom. My mistake.
Although it seems this is far more difficult that it should be to remove all non
"." file from the output of ls. Does any one know of a better way?
