firefox segmentation-fault
Dear all, I have just started recently having problems with Firefox (and Mozilla) in Sarge. I suspect that it started to happen after a recent update, since a week ago (or so) I did not have any problems. If I go to maps.google.com, for instance, either browser crashes with a Segmentation fault message. I tried firefox -safe-mode (which should disable all extensions) and I've cleared the cache, cookies, etc. And I'm using Sarge's official version of firefox: deblap[~]% wajig status mozilla-firefox Package Installed PreviousNow State ===-===-===-===-= mozilla-firefox 1.0.4-2sarge10 1.0.4-2sarge10 1.0.4-2sarge10 install I have the same problem in my desktop and laptop (both running Sarge), so I suspect it must be a real bug... Has any one else had the same problem? (I've seen the thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/08/msg03004.html, but it does not seem related...) Unfortunately, so far Google Maps seems to be the only web site giving me problems. (Well, I just tried the Beta Version of Yahoo Maps and it doesn't show anything, but doesn't crash. The old version works fine, as well as mapquest.) Thanks, Luis P.S.: I am not currently subscribed, so I'd appreciate if anyone would CC any reply to me too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

.bash_profile not sourced on login
Dear all,
For some reason, my .bash_profile is not sourced on login. I tried
different users, and all have the same problem. I'm running a very

Sorry for not mentioning it. It was under X... I guess in that case I don't have a login shell. So what would be the proper place to set variables for terminals running in X? (I checked and .bash_profile *is* sourced if I log in in a virtual terminal. (bash -l also source it.)) The main reason I wanted to have the file sourced is to have the GTK_IM_MODULE variable set, which I need in X. I could set it in my .bashrc, but .bash_profile seemed the more natural place... (Maybe just my own ignorance...) The odd thing is that at work my computer runs Fedora and my .bash_profile is sourced in X.

can't mount DVD-ROM
Dear all, For some reason I can't mount my DVD-ROM anymore. I put a data CD in it and I get the following message when I try to mount it: debian[~]% mount /dvd/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

It's been a little while since I tried to mount it so I don't know what I did that made it stop working... (I recentlty changed hda3 from ext2 to ext3 and installed hotplug.) Note: I can mount the same data CD using my CD-ROM drive and in Windows I can read the CD from the DVD drive, so I guess it is not hardware related.

Re: can't mount DVD-ROM
It would appear your dvd is being treated as a SCSI device. Check your scsi device nodes, and change your fstab as appropriate. That was it. Thank you so much Justin! I don't how that happened? But is there any problem in having the DVD drive as a SCSI device when it actually isn't? Thanks again! Luis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: apt-get: mixed system
Thanks, Joris and Paul. I will try to stick to backport. (Thanks for the warning, Paul.) All I want is to add a newer version of gphoto2/gtkam, since the older version does not support my camera. I tried adding the line deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable gphoto2 gtkam to my source list. It runs apt-get update OK (no errors, and it does hit backports.org), but apt-get install gphoto2 installed the version from Debians stable (v2.0final-4) instead of the one in backports.org (2.1.4-1). If I try apt-get install gphoto2=2.1.4-1, I get E: Version '2.1.4-1' for 'gphoto2' was not found Am I doing something wrong?

apt-get: mixed system
Dear all, I am trying to install a program (gphoto2) from the testing distribution in my stable system. I tried to follow the instructions on http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get#s-default-version First I noticed that I did not have a /etc/apt/apt.conf file. So I created one with (only) the line APT::Default-Release stable; (I _did_ have a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory with a 70debconf file in it. I also tried adding the above line to 70debconf and putting the /etc/apt/apt.conf file in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory.) Here is my /etc/apt/source.list file: --- deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free # # this was added to be able to get packages from testing deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free --- When I run apt-get update I get the following error message: (...)

Gnome's gmc

Re: Gnome's gmc
Hello Ray/list,
I (re)installed it to be sure (apt-get install libdb3), and I still have
the same problem and error message... Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help anyway Ray!

ppp problem
Hello, I am having some problems to connect to my ISP (verizon.net) and was hoping that someone could help me... I just did a BIG apt-get upgrade (apparently even the Linux version was upgraded to a testing one), and I was prompted many times about configuration files, and instead of keeping mine (I thought that the package developers would know better than me) and used the ones that came with the package instead. (I never had a problem before this upgrade.) In any case, when I try to connect, I get connected and disconnected right after. A couple of times I could connect for like a minute... and when I use the apt-get, I get connected while it download the necessary files, but as soon as it is done, I get disconnected. I put some log files at http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/finotti/linux/logs if someone is willing to take a look... (you can see a short connection, that was done by pon, and one long, done with apt-get) I don't think it is the modem or the provider, since I can connect with, well, Windows... Sorry to bother you with that... I would really appreciate any help though. Thanks a lot, Luis
