[Fwd: Affected by gnome-shell lockups on wheezy?]
This might be of interest for some GNOME users on this mailing list. Cheers, -- .''`. Josselin Mouette : :' : `. `' `- --- Begin Message --- Hi all, despite some workarounds added to the gnome-shell package, some users have still complained of more or less frequent deadlocks of the shell (usually 10 minutes after login), forcing them to fall back to GNOME Classic or other desktops. We know vaguely where this comes from, and it should be fixed in GNOME 3.8, but in the meantime we can improve the situation in wheezy. If you have been affected by such deadlocks, please test gnome-shell 3.4.2-11 in unstable. I can also provide wheezy packages if needed. If the deadlock happens, it should now soon after login, and the shell should restart after 10 seconds instead of remaining locked. It’s still far from perfect, of course, but it should be a big improvement over losing the session. If the tests are conclusive, we’ll upload this fix into wheezy in the next point release.

Re: lilo removal in squeeze (or, "please test grub2")

We have understood that your backup software is broken. It’s not the only one. There’s nothing we can do to fix broken, proprietary backup software. If you want to become the new upstream for lilo because you need to cope with broken backup software, please go ahead; I’m sure the effort will be welcome. If not, I think you have made your point by now. As a personal advice, I would recommend you to stop bothering with that broken backup software, it doesn’t seem good for your health. Set up a CIFS share on a backed-up Windows server, copy your data there using one of the numerous solutions in Debian, and get done with it. Or just state that you can’t backup modern Linux servers with it, and let them struggle with Windows servers if they really decide to use this instead. Cheers, -- .''`.

Practically speaking, packets coming from a Linux host are never fragmented because Linux sets the DF bit. Which means, oversized packets are actually rejected so that the endpoint shortens its packet size to fit the smallest MTU on the whole path. As a result, your packets are limited by the various MTU sizes. On Ethernet links, the MTU is set to 1500 by default but you can increase it (using the "mtu" keyword in /etc/network/interfaces) up to 9000 on most hardware, and 15000 with some rare hardware. You also need switch-side configuration and support with high-end hardware. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

(just like Debian BSD and Debian Hurd :-) ) A first thing to do, to see if this is possible at all, would probably be to port the GNU libc to Minix, as many things in Debian are relying on this libc. This is what has boosted the FreeBSD port to the point of usability. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette/\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `'[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom

Only one package still depends of libvorbis0 in unstable, and it has nothing to do with KDE. You are obviously installing from unofficial, buggy sources. Regards, -- .''`.
