Re: google-chrome-stable - no longer functional
Sorry to reply to myself. Hearing from no one for almost a week, I decided to "check around" again and see if I couldn't find some way to restore Google Chrome ... This posting gave me the idea to "downgrade" the application: http://goo.gl/I5chaZ Looking in my system's /var/cache/apt/archives', I found all recent upgrades to google-chrome-stable. I decided to re-install the previous update version: google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb I then attempted to apply the package using this: # dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_49.0.2623.75-1_amd64.deb That produced an error message: > > Package libappindicator1 is not installed > Went back into 'aptitude', and installed 'libappindicator1' and its required dependencies. Finally, I ran the 'dpkg' command above once again, and *BINGO* ... success! Maybe this might help someone else ... :) -Kenneth
Re: Error with Latest Google Chrome Stable
sven Downgrade to the latest working version. Luckily, I was able to find a couple of earlier Chrome versions in /var/cache/apt/archives/ in order to downgrade. What if I'd removed all the archived 'apt' files to save space? This leads to the following question ... Is there a known Google site that contains either all previous Chrome versions or at least the last few? I tried to find such a site/ location, but couldn't.

Error with Latest Google Chrome Stable
[ Debian stable ] A few days ago, I updated Chrome from: google-chrome-stable:amd64 37.0.2062.94-1 to: google-chrome-stable:amd64 37.0.2062.120-1 That update caused pages with embedded Adobe Flash to malfunction (with various nasty error windows appearing). I tried to find the right, and ideally a straight forward fix, but failed. So instead, I removed the 120 version, and reinstalled 94. Flash returned to normal! Is this a known bug? With Chrome?

Re: Retaining Older Kernels After Image Update
ph Don't confuse installing a new kernel (3.2 and 3.12 are different ph kernels, different packages names) and upgrading an installed ph kernel with a new release (same version, same package name, ph different package release versions). Upgrading an installed kernel ph package replaces it, as with any other package. Installing a new ph kernel does not. I think the above comments by Pascal most succinctly clarifies my confusion ... pointing out the difference between installing and upgrading. Next time I'll pay more attention to what is being presented by the package manager! Still a little uneasy about having no backup kernel. But, I do have a CD with Recovery Is Possible/RIP [1] on it that I can use if something terrible happens. ;-) Though I am only replying to Pascal's letter, I definitely want to thank not just Pascal, but *all* who contributed to this thread.

The only way to regain access via the local keyboard and mouse is to use a kill -9 on the 'xfree86' process. After a few seconds, 'kde' comes back with the normal login screen. (Note, however, that C-M-F1 still doesn't work). Questions: o Anybody else having this problem? o What might be the cause? o Anything I can do to help determine the cause?

Newest Firefox - Problems
[sarge; mozilla-firefox-1.0.4-2sarge2] I've encounter some problems after the recent 'firefox' update ... For example, entering C-b (or selecting View/Sidebar/Bookmarks via the menus) causes 'firefox' to immediately exit. Same with C-h (history). Other new weirdness: some of my extensions appear to be broken / non-functional; clicking on the little blue circle with a white arrow (Updates Available) also causes the application to terminate.

Re: 'rpm --freshen': dpkg Equivalent?
jh why would you just one specific package to be updated? Sorry I didn't explain more. Here's the situation ... I have an office machine, O, and a home machine, H both using sarge/testing. O has a high-speed connection to the Internet, but H doesn't. After updating O, I copy all the .deb files in O:/var/cache/apt/archives to removable media and bring them home. Once home, I basically do a dpkg -i *.deb of the files copied from O. (It's actually a bit more complicated due to dependencies ...) Herein lies the problem. There are packages I install/run on O (e.g., 'mailman') that I do not want to install/run on H. However, if I quickly do dpkg -i *.deb on H, it'll install *all* the .debs -- including 'mailman'. Though I *could* write a script to accomplish what I want (i.e., ensuring each package is present before upgrading), I thought there might be an easier approach via a 'dpkg' command-line option (similar to rpm -F). Hopefully what I'm trying to do is now clearer ... Thanks for the responses! -Kenneth PS I realize I could also use 'apt-zip'.

logcheck help
[ Up-to-date 'sarge/testing' with kernel-2.4.26-1-686-smp and
logcheck-1.2.28 ]
What I am trying to do is simple: eliminate lines like the following
generated by Shorewall in /var/log/syslog :
Oct 24 11:32:50 msslayer kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 ...
I created a new file, /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local-shorewall,
that contains:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} msslayer kernel: Shorewall:net2all:
but none of the Shorewall lines are being eliminated in the hourly
email sent by 'logcheck' (with REPORTLEVEL=server in logcheck.conf).
Note that the (initial testing) pattern above, when accessed in a
separate egrep -f local-shorewall /var/log/syslog command, *does*
correctly match the Shorewall lines ...
My hunch is that the file is named incorrectly and/or placed in the
wrong sub-directory of /etc/logcheck.
I've tried other approaches (e.g., placed the 'egrep' pattern file in
other dirs, named the file logcheck.shorewall, etc), read and
re-read the included docs, and, of course, searched the web, but no luck.
Thanks for any ideas!

DB Updated, but no Updates

Sometime when I run the update command ('u'), I see what appears to
be new info (last time about 500kB) for the DB being transfered. Yet,
when the display is redrawn, neither new nor updated packages are listed.
What is really going on here? My theory is that there *are* updates,
but only to programs that I don't have installed ...

Yes, that's what I normally see ... maybe closer to 4 MB?
I sure wish just those files -- not the package files themselves --

each time when they normally have few changes? [ Some of you might
recall that my home system is on a *slow* dialup line ...]
My previous investigations have shown that the 'rsync' issue has been
discussed before and created a small war. But those discussions had
*everything* using 'rsync'. I would just like the package and
release files to use it. Ftp would be find for the .deb's ...

Re: Dependencies in Dir w/ Many .deb Files

Wow, I didn't know there might be so many solutions!
While waiting for responses to my original post, I came up with yet
another approach:
o Run Aptitude on my office machine
o Copy/paste Aptitude's output into a file (say, aptout)
o Use that file as input to a simple Perl script (attached below)
using:
# ao2dep aptout aptdeps
o Transfer all files to home machine including aptdeps
o At home install the new/upgraded files:
# dpkg -i `cat aptdeps`
Now back to my 'ppp' problems! When I solve them, I won't need any
of the above ...

Dependencies in Dir w/ Many .deb Files
I have a slow Internet connection at home. :-( I can't yet use apt-zip since my home 'ppp' link still doesn't work (non-8 bit clean issues) thus prohibiting me from updating the apt database via the net. :-( So, in order to temporarily keep my home system current, I am doing the following: o Updating my office system (both are running pretty much the same configuration of 'sarge') o Copying all the newly installed debs on the office machine from /var/cache/apt/archive to removable media o Bringing that media home and copying the deb files to my home hard drive o Finally, I run dpkg -i *.deb on those newly transferred file The problem with this approach is *.deb orders alphabetically instead of by dependency. I must iteratively run the above command placing needed debs before the final *.deb argument. That takes time (and patience)! QUESTION: is there some option to 'dpkg' or another command/script that will generate the file names in an order such that the dependencies are met?

Apache2/mailman - Scripts Don't Run
I believe I've followed all the procedures to get 'Mailman' running with 'Apache2' on 'sarge'. Searching Debian Bugs, Apache2 docs and the WWW has not helped solve my problem. FWIW, I've installed 'mailman' successfully on other systems ... Everything looks OK except for one thing: when a URL like, http://myhost/mailman/listinfo is requested, 'Apache2' locates the file (return code = 200) but wants to *download* the 'listinfo' file instead of executing it! My hunch is that it is a CGI-BIN issue. Here's what I've added to the standard 'Apache2' config: ScriptAlias/mailman/ /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail//var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ Options FollowSymLinks /Directory I've also changed /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py as suggested in the README.Debian file.

Re: Both apache and apache2 (sarge) ?
sk Apache2 comes in several variants depending on which MPM sk (multi-processing module) has been compiled in. sk There is an MPM called the prefork MPM that essentially sk behaves like Apache1, in that a pool of *processes* is sk created. Yes, that's the version that installed by default: apache2-mpm-prefork 2.0.49-1 sk Provided you are using the prefork mode for apache2, and can sk find an appropriate apache2 module for PHP, it *should* work. Hmmm ... I could do that, but what about managing this approach with apt-get? I'm doing my best to try and stick with official, Debian procedures (rather than _ad hoc_). I guess another solution -- that would probably work OK with apt-get -- is to just install 'apache'. Seems preferable, however, to use the newer Apache version ...

Beta4 Installer - Multiple Debian Versions?

Re: Question re Debian versions
If I understand this correctly, users of 'testing' (currently 'sarge') can do *nothing* when new security problems arise? They must wait for the fix in 'unstable' to make it into testing. pj You knew going in that the only safe path is stable, you were pj warned! Certainly! ;-) I still think my new installs should be 'testing'/'sarge'. Two reasons: I believe that the contents of the current 'testing' are pretty solid/safe.

XFree86 4.1 -- 4.2.1 (Woody)
Greetings! As some of you following this list know, I have been trying to get my ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] board working with XFree86-4.1 under stable. After much help and emails, it appears that that controller/chip isn't supported under v4.1. :-( So, since I think the board is a decent one, I guess my only alternative is to provide a later XFree86 version. Keeping in mind that I'm running Woody/stable, to which version should I upgrade? Various correspondents state that 4.2.1 supports my board. Version 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 are some of the latest and greatest. But, I thought I might just get my feet wet (since I have done *zero* backports) with the 4.2.1 version. Suggestions? One thing that concerns me, though, is the affect of upgrading the X server. I assume I will have to purge all traces of the current version. But won't that also remove components that depend on it (e.g., kde, ...)? If true, what will be the best way to recover those X11-dependent applications? The final issue for me is the actual process of changing to 4.2.1 under Woody. I've done the usual searches (seems like FAQs), but didn't find anything that appeared to describe the actual procedure. I do have these URLs: http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/xfree86/binary-i386/ ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.1/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc22/ Should they be my starting point?

Re: ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)
tm I have a 7500 ... Is anyone else besides Tony using this controller with Woody? tm ... and I don't beleive X 4.1 supports it. I have a hunch you are speaking from *experience* -- the most valuable position! But why do these links (including one from the official 'xfree86.org' site) imply that v4.1 *does* support it? http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status6.html#6 http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-hardware/video.html Thanks for your help! -Kenneth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)
I am running 'woody' with the 4.1.0-16woody1 version of XFree86 on a fairly new Dell with a ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] video controller. For some reason, the board isn't being recognized when I 'startx'. In particular, this: (II) ATI unknown chipset (0x5157) and this: (WW) ATI: PCI/AGP Mach64 in slot 1:0:0 could not be detected show up in the XFree86 log. My screen finally returns to text mode with a message something like, No device found. Doing some investigation, it appears that the video device *is* supported under 4.1.0 as shown at: http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status6.html#6 and http://www.linuxforum.com/linux-hardware/video.html Though I couldn't find a driver that looked useful using 'modconf', I manually 'modprobe'd /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o but it still produced the same behavior. Any help/ideas/suggestions will be *most* appreciated. -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ATI Radeon 7500 Woody - Unknown Chipset (0x5157)
js You could ease up error detection by providing the complete /var/log/ js XFree86.0.log and /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4). Good idea! The files are attached below. I manually edited XF86Config-4 some, so I hope it isn't in too bad of shape! ;-) /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o js This won't be solving Your problem, it's only related to the console js framebuffer device. I also tried the 'radeonfb' module, but same results. Thanks for your prompt reply! -Kenneth This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any way.

Re: USB 2 Sony Microvault Problems
I'm using woody and a 256MB Microvault. elawson Is it the USB2 model as in USM256U2? Yes. Exact same model ... elawson I am beginning to think there is something about the way it elawson is formatted that is breaking things, ... FWIW, I just took the MicroVault from the package and it worked ... i.e., I did *not* format it prior to use ... -Kenneth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
