The best example of this is with Netscape. When I first set the box up I was getting intermittent errors when running netscape which states something to the effect that there are not enough colors to run the display.

If the second number of the version is even, than it is the stable version of gimp (e.g. 1.0.4 is stable), but when it is odd (like 1.1.10) then it is a developer version which is more or less unstable. Your bug report is about gimp1.1, so there is no wonder about this. Fall back to gimp1.0.4, which is the current one in potato (it runs perfectly stable on my potato box), and wait with the upgrading till the next stable gimp will be released in the future.

When the the installation tool ask for mount, I try to mount /dev/hdc3 to a ;-delimerted list of directory-names. But this do not work. Hi Robin, one disk can only be mounted to one directory. So, it is a good idea to use one disk for the essential files, like kernel , /bin, /sbin and so on. I don't know how far you are now, how much do you have installed. It depends also, how your disk is mapped. Lilo has to find the kernel within the first 1024 cylinders. That is very important. I suggest to have a small partition for /boot, that containes the kernel. yout 64MB are much too much, but if you don't want to repartition again, it's OK. Now, how much memory to you have? The swapfile should be about twice as much. your fstab could then look like: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/hdc3 / ext2defaults 0 1 /dev/hdc1 /boot ext2defaults 0 2 /dev/hdc2 none swapsw 0 0 /dev/hdaX/dos/c vfatumask=000 0 0 /dev/hdaY/dos/d vfatumask=000 0 0 /dev/hdb/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,users,hide 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /zipvfat umask=000,noauto,users,hide 0 0 /dev/fd0/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 proc/proc proc defaults 0 0 Thank you for all help, Hope, it helps Ingo PS: If you have problems with my englisch, kann ich dir auch auf deutsch helfen :-) I.

Well, the kernel hackers will probably tell me that this is insane and that it could never possibly make a difference, but I swear it worked for me before when I had similar problems! Destroy and re-create your swap partitions. Remember to run swapoff on them before you delete them. Maybe you don't actually need to delete the partitions; mkswap might be enough. But anyway, re-create the swap partition and run swapon...see what happens. I can't imagine why it would work. I don't think it should. But a couple years ago I ran into major stability problems and got similar messages to when you found in kern.log. Re-creating the swap partition fixed everything. I have no idea what inspired me to try that, but... HTH, noah Thanks for you help, noah! I just did it and as you can see. NOW the system works. How long? We will see! Hope, this was the problem.

compiling a KDE App (kdesu)
Hi hackers, normally i am using gnome/enlighenment, but for root-shells with X this system lacks some simple tool like kdesu, that does all this authorization-stuff. ok, with my old SuSE it was no problem either to install the package or to compile it by using ./configure and so on. Now, i do not manage to finde the correct settings for this script. The problem seems to be the qt.

mc, strange ftp behaviour
Hi folks, i found some strange behaviour with lovely mc. I use two (identical?) potato-systems, one of them two months old, the other just installed from scratch - was formerly a SuSE6.1. I saved the /home from the latter, and now maybe have some struggle with old config-files in my HOMEDIR. The problem: If i open an ftp link on the fresh installed machine, a lot of error messages appear, beginning with a |Could not parse:| || |^M | this happenes for every folder one the remote machine. After that, i get a More parsing errors will be ignored. (sorry) and then File exists but can not be stat-ed: /welcome.msg No such file or directory This messages appeares for every file. The content of the remote dir is shown, but i see for every folder one line /.. The vfs is not correctly mapped. It seems, that there happenes a translation mistake for CR, LF or whatever.

libgnome32 1.0.16 where ?
Hi gurus :-) what happened with gnome? since friday, some packages require ( for instance gdm ): gdm depends on libgnome32 (= 1.0.16-0.1) gdm depends on libgnomesupport0 (= 1.0.16-0.1) gdm depends on libart2 (= 1.0.16-0.1) gdm depends on libgnomeui32 (= 1.0.16-0.1) but available is only version 1.0.10 of these libs. I checked: ftp.de.debian.org ftp.debian.org which are primary mirrors - should be :-) . Are these libXX-packages the news ones where only the version number in the .deb is not correct or are they still old ? Ingo Reimann

Re: sound under 2.2.x
HI Seth, I have nice sound with my AWE64 under OSS/Lite and ALSA, even with Wavetables :-) Kernel 2.2.12, still SuSE6.1, ready to become Deb 2.1... Greetings, Ingo Seth R Arnold wrote: (This is a sort-of unrelated email, so it gets its own thread. :) When I upgraded from 2.0.37 under SuSE to 2.2.6, I had to change a few things, but sound worked still. When 2.2.7 was released, I upgraded, and sound promptly broke. The prevailing wisdom at the time said 2.2.7 had some very drastic memory fragmentation issues, and the sound driver required larger chunks of memory than the fragmented memory could offer. (I saw a summary of this fragmentation, (and lack of, under 2.2.6) using the magic sysrq key..) Would someone please confirm or deny that the latest 2.2.x plays sounds quite nicely? And, would someone please confirm or deny that the latest 2.2.x no longer munges up filesystems? I would like to upgrade to 2.2.x (no real reason, it just seems cooler. :) but I would like to avoid the trouble I had the last time I did it. (I even followed the Changes suggestions for everything except NFS -- which I don't use..) Thanks. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: mc not working (?) now smb.conf failure
Hi,
i just entered the debian-user mailing list, and wanted to ask for that. Thanks!
But now i get the funny message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/reimann mc
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file /etc/smb.conf:
No such file or directory
Can't load /etc/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
load_client_codepage: filename /usr/lib/codepages/codepage.850 does not exist.
and mc works.
How to tell him/her/it, that the smb.conf is under /etc/samba/ ?
has anybody some idea?

Hi, I use mc frequently ( also to edit textfiles, I'm not a vi guy ), but
recently it stopped working.
when I try to start it, the machine hangs for a few seconds, there is a lot

/usr/bin/mc: fork: resource temporarily not available.
I found out that the harddisk activity was due to a lot of files being
created
in /tmp, 50-100 or so.
They all looked like this;
mcX-YY
with the X's being numbers starting at 20443, looking very much like a PID,
and
the Y's just looking like random numbers.
I also noticed a process called queued running, which I do not think I have
seen
running before.
I suspect this having to do with the fact that I'm running potato, and
therefore
having mc in version 4.5.38-1
Can anyone tell me what the problem could be ?
