cpu threshold temperature
When I use programs that consume a lot of cpu, such as mondo or acidrip I get the following messages all around the console:Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Sun Sep 17 12:03:58 2006 ...localhost kernel: CPU1: Temperature above thresholdMessage from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Sun Sep 17 12:03:58 2006 ...localhost kernel: CPU1: Running in modulated clock mode Is this something I should worry about?
Re: debian unstable, stable enough?
Testing cannot get very unstable as it wouldn't follow Debian rules. Everything that's in testing must be tested in unstable for some time. So, I don't think being in testing will be such a mess in two months.

I've done it with the ~30MB net install image CD, which means you start off with a REALLY minimalist system.Don't plug in the network cable until the system works, just to besure.Then edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to the unstable archives, connect the network cable and do whatever it takes to getthat working, and # apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade.

Once it's working as Unstable, then I run dselect(don't scream, folks, I've used it since 1995 and am comfortable withit) to add those meta-packages and applications I know I want. Then,when it's ready to download and install 800 or so packages, I let it go ahead and go to sleep, wake up the next morning and startanswering debconf questions. :^) Another question.

Testing means testing, no matter what the version name is. However, soon after releasing a stable, testing can get very,very unstable (in the bad way) for months. I would change the pointerfrom testing to etch now, so that you don't go through that massive mess until you are ready to do so.Unstable doesn't have that massive upheaval, because it's always at alow level of instability.Curt-- --September 11th, 2001The proudest day for gun control and central planning advocates in American history-BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux)iQEVAwUBRQHvOy9Y35yItIgBAQIj1gf/VKPTKgKAQOPvX2vPPY5JDPDgCMvGPQhqFSKhlEY67dy+P5Y9H89CI6n6HrKnF+9ByWc7HLpTfcGfdojIGRzF2drgeFu2YOuZ mnMsAF1t+JE5rMTtT2FXzCYrAKU2W71/Egphpj3r/q5awLxqqzHr0kxPvk1/PPWxmgmJFXE5/0xQbcj+q01pSzzxzKYUU4Ns/E3XKxby5qK9mYyFhiEBE8pJpY2RSq4tsv6bV2kHQ6exn6/R7bfOUFBP+J2CKWHPccRskq2SrJwAWgthxPwnUZZ1/sRW96Pfa3dvtYnrVJW+Gb1Zu8S68ca9ZSLxKAyneAkSuwQ7jOb1fJ5HdGEzAQ== =cwGK-END PGP SIGNATURE-
debian unstable, stable enough?
I'm using Debian testing and I was thinking about switching to unstable. Is Debian unstable, stable enough for a Desktop system? Are there broken dependencies in unstable?Thanks
Re: debian unstable, stable enough?
If packages go from unstable to testing in just 10 days then it's not worth going to unstable, is it? I mean, you can live in the bleeding edge as well being in testing.On 9/8/06, Thibaut Paumard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Le vendredi 08 septembre 2006 à 13:20 +0200, Jordi Carrillo a écrit : I'm using Debian testing and I was thinking about switching to unstable.

As far as I know, packagesnormally migrate from unstable to testing in _10 days_ (unless testingis frozen). Packages that don't are broken in some way or break something else in some way.

Re: debian unstable, stable enough?
I'll stay in testing. I've tried to move up to unstable and couldn't initiate the X server after the upgrade. Fortunately I had a backup of the whole system and got back to testing in a moment. As I see in http://packages.debian.org/testing and http://packages.debian.org/unstable there are no major differences. Both have Gnome 2.14.3 and when Gnome 2.16 enters unstable I don't think it's gonna take long to be in testing. Perhaps being in testing is the best for a production Desktop as all dependencies are satisfied and you don't have the old packages residing in stable. What's more the chances to break the system seem to be less than being in unstable.

Re: debian unstable, stable enough?
You say you reinstalled from zero twice. What's the best way to get into unstable?

testing distribution
I'm using Debian Testing. When Etch is out, will I have to change my sources.list? or I'll follow on the testing distribution (changes done automatically?). Just doing an apt-get update will do the trick?

cron
Hi all, I've made a simple backup script with tar. In one of the lines I have: tar -czvf backup.tar.gz dir1/ dir2/ dir3/ So If I run this script it goes perfectly. The problem is that if I put it in cron it only catches the first dir, i.e, dir1/. I don't know why it doesn't take dir2 and dir3. Obviously it makes the backup.tar.gz with dir1 but, if you make tar -xzvf it ends up with an error. Thanks in advance, Jordi ___ Yahoo!

Setting up a printer.

If I go to http://localhost:631/admin, the browser says that the connection is refused and I don't understand why.

Re: DQue sabor necesito? y otras cosas.
Supongo que te estás refiriendo a Woody. Yo instalaria el bf24 que viene con el kernel 2.4.18. Y después hacer un apt-get update y luego un upgrade para pasar al Sarge (testing) o sid. Igualmente yo recomendaría pasarse directamente al Sarge (testing) sin pasar por woody. Si te bajas el cd netinst de debian, éste viene con el nuevo instalador beta 2. Así será más fácil y no tendrás tantos problemas porque ya viene con un kernel superior. Saludos Garberoglio Leonardo wrote: Hola! Estoy arrancando con debian y hasta ahora me está costando un poco.

Woody y Adsl comtrend CT-350
Hola, Tengo un Mandrake 9.1 con adsl comtrend ct-350. Me he decidido a instalar el Woody en otro pc con la opción bf24 kernel 2.4.18. El problema es que no puedo compilar el driver del adsl (eagle-1.0.4) porque el kernel y las librerías son bastante antiguas. Para hacer un update con el apt-get no puedo pues no tengo conexión a internet mediante el woody. Tengo pensado hacer un apt-get update (upgrade) con los CDroms de la sarge que me puedo bajar mediante jigdo. y después desde el pc del woody hacer un apt-cdrom update y un dist upgrade para pasar a a tener librerías y un kernel más actualizados. Me gustaría saber si el procedimiento es el correcto antes de empezar a bajar los CDs. Muchas gracias ___ Yahoo!

Installing Sarge
Hi all, I am new to the Debian distribution. I would like to know if I can install sarge (testing) straight away by using the isos from debian (using jigdo) without installing woody and then doing an apt-get upgrade. If so what are the recommended images to have the system up and running with an X window manager. (sarge-i386-1, and so on...)
