GGV can't read PDF files.
I have a problem that started a long time ago, and I have finally gotten fed up enough to ask for help. I've been running Sarge since Woody was released and have performed regular updates (at least once or twice a month). Once, long, long ago, one of the updates broke my ability to read PDF files (no, I didn't submit a bug report; shame, shame on me :-). Eventually, this was fixed for GV, but it is still broken for GGV. If I try to read a PDF file using GGV, I get the message: File is not a valid PostScript document. Both GV and GS (gs-afpl) read the file correctly. Any ideas about what's wrong? Thanks, Brian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.

Problem getting RAID set mounted at boot time.
I have just installed (about 2-3 weeks ago) a fresh copy of Sarge using the new network installer (RC2). My system disk is on a standard IDE controller. My /home directory is a striped set on a SATA controller. The problem I'm having is my /home directory is not getting mounted at boot time. Once the system is up though, all I have to do to mount /home is: /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid start mount /home I'm using the stock Debian package kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 and I'm using mdadm to manage the striped set. The IDs of the partitions on my SATA disks are both set as type 0xFD (Linux raid autodetect). My mdadm.conf file contains: DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid0 num-devices=2 UUID=1a6775db:3b133037:d4509894:8621c285 devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 My /etc/fstab contains: /dev/md0/home xfs defaults0 1 Does anyone have any thoughts on why things don't work?

XEmacs has stopped working.
My xemacs installation has stopped working. I have never edited/changed any emacs/xemacs related files/directories that are installed by Debian and have not changed my ~/.xemacs/init.el since February, 2003. Also, I'm using Sarge (testing). The following lines in my init.el no longer work (but used to work fine): (load-library "completer") (require 'crypt) (require 'func-menu) (autoload 'resize-minibuffer-mode "rsz-minibuf" nil t) In all cases, the lines fail with an error message like: Error in init file: Cannot open load file: completer I noticed this problem today, but I haven't used xemacs in a month or two. I suspect that one of my recent upgrades broke something. Is this a bug I need to report or is something else causing my difficulty? Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Also, I had a similar issue with my first potato install a couple of years ago. I finally had to hard-wire the http_proxy variable in order to get the install to work. I seems like the Debian installer is just not proxy friendly yet (although it makes an attempt at it). Thanks for the help. Brian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Also, the installer just completed installing the base system. Why would installing the base system work but installing the kernel fail? Brian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Problems with new Debian install.
I'm trying to get Sarge up and running on my Vaio laptop (GR390) and am having some problems. I'm using the official netinst CD image (from 2/26/03). Also, I'm behind a firewall and must go through an HTTP proxy. My first (minor) problem is with selecting from a list of options (such as choosing a mirror to install from). When the list gets too long, the first options scroll off the top and I can't see them any more. Is there a way to scroll or page these lists (and output messages)? My second (major) problem is with installing the kernel (step 14). I've stumbled through the previous steps, but when I try to install the kernel, the screen scrolls and quickly comes back to the main menu (with step 14 still chosen as the default). The messages at the top of the screen are: kernel-installer's postinst exited with status 25600 installer[2374]: Setting main menu question priority to critical Then I'm back to the main menu. If I use Ctrl-S to pause the printout, I can see the following messages: The following extra packages will be installed: cramfsprogs dash zlib1g The following NEW packages will be installed: cramfsprogs dash initrd-tools zlib1g and other messages from apt. When it finally gets to downloading the packages, I get several messages like the following: Err http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu sarge/main dash 0.4.1 Could not resolve 'linux.csua.berkeley.edu' This sounds like the http_proxy environment variable is not being set, but things worked fine when I installed the base system? Does anyone have any idea about what's going wrong? Thanks for your help. Brian __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Serial terminal software.
I'm interested in finding a serial terminal software package for Debian (such as "tip" on Solaris). Does any one know if there is a Debian package that would fit my needs (direct connect to the serial port, dumb terminal emulation) or do I need to compile up something myself? Thanks, Brian

I just hate replying to my own messages, but I caught a bug (although too late for inclusion in the original email) and decided I'd better fix it. The following commands should work better: cd / find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdm /mnt I guess I need to do a better job of controlling my enthusiasm. :-) Brian -- Brian Dockter| Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Member Technical Staff | Voice: 425-771-2400 Sony Electronics, Seattle| FAX: 425-771-2066

I've always used cpio for copying/moving entire file systems (although I
haven't yet
needed to on Debian yet). A command such as:
find / -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdm /mnt
should also do the trick.

Compact FLASH problems
Please forgive me if this is a duplicate. I couldn't find my original
post anywhere, so I'm sending it again.
I'm having trouble getting my PCMCIA adapter working. Here's a brief
system description:
Debian v2.2 with 2.2.17-idepci kernel
Dell 450MHz PIII
Actiontec PCMCIA adapter (TI PCI1225 chip on a PCI card)
IDE harddriver on IDE bus 0
CD-ROM & ZIP on IDE bus 1
When I plug in my Compact FLASH card into my PCMCIA adapter, I get the
following messages on the console:
hde: SST48CF064C-B6 CompactFlash Memory Card, ATA DISK drive
ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3
hde:hde: lost interrupt
hde: lost interrupt
hde: lost interrupt
hde: lost interrupt
hde1 hde2
hde:hde: lost interrupt
hde: lost interrupt
hde1 hde2
hde: lost interrupt
hde: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
If I try to mount the memory card, it takes several minutes (and lots of
"lost interrupt" messages) but will eventually mount. Also, any read/write
I do to the card prints out more "lost interrupt" messages.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem and how I could fix
it?
Thanks for the help,
Brian
