Sometime you will have to upgrade.

Problems with open source ati driver
Hello. I own a dell studio 1555 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (RV710) gpu and I have problems configuring it. I recently found out that support has been dropped from fglrx and that the only solution for me is the open source radeon driver. Here's my story: I edited the xorg.conf file and replaced "fglrx" with "radeon". Except from that there are no more options added to the segment "Device". I istalled all the packages necessary for non-free firmware etc. I use an up-to-date testing installation with KDE. KDM never comes up. I just get a console where i type my login credentials and type "startx" in order to start x server. KDE gets loaded with 3d effects on after an upgrade in some acpi packages. Prior to that upgrade 3d effects failed to load. My problem on all this is that after a while my laptop starts to gain high temperature leading to a complete cut of power. Suppose this is a failsafe method for it to avoid permanent damage. I have searched but I have found no solution. Any help? Please cc me cause I am not currently registered to this mailing list.

Adobe flash sound issues
Hello there. I got an annoying problem with flash sound. On some services (eg Grooveshark) I hear scratches and deformities during playback. The actuall track is heard on the background though. I have flash installed through the flashplugin-nonfree packages. The problem even exists on Google Chrome, which is supposed to use a flash installation of its own. As far as I know flash version is not the latest. I am using Debian testing on a Dell Studio 1555 laptop with kde and alsa. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) : This is what lspci gives me about my sound card. This may be related to my problem, cause for a few weeks vlc gives me an error that the soundcard is already in use when another sound is already playing. In case you need more info, just tell. Thanks in advance for your help, John P.S: Please CC me in your replies cause I am not subscribed to this mailing list
"Debian Changelog" on packages.debian.org is down
Hey the Debian Changelog link on the info page of each debian package seems dead. Can't tell if this is true for all packages, but for a few I have tried the problem exists. Consider this e-mail a report rather than a waiting-answer mail. Cheers, John

When I do aptitude update the information in the aptitude utility about the updates available is correct. But the pop up in kde notifications always displays that amount + 2. If I do safe-upgrade or full-upgrade when the update process is finished a notification pops up again saying 2 updates are available (although all updates have been applied). John
Wrong counter in update notifier
Hello. I am using a mix of testing and unstable with kde. The update notifier always shows a wrong counter. If there are no updates it shows 2. Else if the number of updates is n it shows n+2. This gets annoying cause it pops up everytime I log in. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks John

Well about this one I got something that might help. In my dell studio with a broadcom 4312 and with the open source driver I got a fatal error and then the card just dissappeared. In order to see it again I just shutdown the laptop, removed the AC adaptor and the battery. Then plugged them in again and everything was fine.

I got a dell studio 1555 myself with a dell wireless 1397 (broacom 4312 rev1). I got hge problems with this card. As you can see in this thread I opened in debian-laptop [1] I was using the proprietary driver provided by the package broadcom-sta-source fetched from non-free testing. After an upgrade in that package I lost the eth1 interface (which was the wifi). After kernel 2.6.32 came into testing I thougth of trying the b43 driver as of this kernel version my card is supported. To tell you the truth I didn't see better results and I was about to post again. Well I'll tell you what's my problem with b43 driver (of course I got b43-fwcutter installed from testing ;) ). When using the b43 driver the wifi connection will stop working and the interface (named correctly wifi0 this time) disappeares. When I shutdown or restart I get a fatal error from the b43 driver and that network manager lost connection with DMA and device phy0 (which is listed as a process in system monitor. Shall I suppose phy0 refers to the wifi card??). Well first time I got this I got paniced. The wifi couldn't be recongnized even under windows. In order to see the device again I had to remove the battery AND the AC power. Well I got through this thing many times today morning, but fortunately after that it stopped and I could work on my laptop. The problem though is not gone, if i suspend or something there it will be. :) Sorry for the long post. I think I should fully explain my problem in order to get better feedback. In any case I am using testing packages with the 2.6.32 kernel recently migrated. Thank you all. And hope the tip with the AC and battery will be usefull to you Mark :) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2010/01/msg00056.html J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
