Problem mit Tastaturbelegung nach upgrade auf Gnome 2.6
Hallo, Nach upgrade zu Gnome 2.6 (debian unstable, gnome-control-center 2.6.1-4) funktioniert die Taste mit Pipe und dem Klammeraffe nicht mehr. Alle andern Tasten funtionien, auch @ und ..

Ich habe nodead keys und alles probiert, auch speziell die Tastaturbelegung fr den Dell Inspiron 8xxx ausgewhlt ... Wenn ich jedoch Gnome 2.6 verlasse und in der Konsole arbiete funktioniert pipe und der Klammeraffe ohne Probleme. Ich vermute es hat etwas mit den gnome-font-properties zu tun.

I tried different fonts, different themes und the default font for each theme - then restarted GNOME everytime I changed something - but I still get the same effect. Is this a problem related only to GNOME or why does the same thing also happen in blackbox? When I start the programs from the xterm - all the different fonts are set. So if I change the size of a certain font in the GNOME Control-Center then the change shows up when I start the program from the xterm - but only then! If I start a program from the GNOME menue (or from the menue in blackbox) I get the same weird fonts as before. It looks like the is always a blank line under everything I can chose from the menue bar and the size is also different (mostly larger than I selected) What's wrong here? Thanks, Philipp Peace.

Re: problem with ppp and 2.4.7
thanks for your help. Somehow the 2.4.7 kernel uses /dev/ttyS4 to connect to the modem instead of /dev/ttyS3 which is used by the 2.4.2 kernel.

When I boot 2.4.2 again, everything works without any problems !! I intsalled ppp 2.4.1 after I compiled the 2.4.7 kernel (I should have read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes more carfully) - but that shouldn't be the problem, right? Or do I have to compile the kernel again? I found some information about this on the internet, but I still don't know how to solve the problem.

But when I run ./configure it gets me this: checking for gnome-libs = 1.0.55... found checking for bonobo=0.37... found checking for GAL = 0.7.0.0... configure: error: *** You need GAL for this version of GnoCam. Get the latest *** version from http://www.gnome.org. Mirrors can be found at *** http://www.gnome.org/mirrors. so I get the sources for gal-0.9.1 from the ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gal/ and compiled it. Even dpkg shows that GAL is installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/programs/gal-0.9 dpkg --list | egrep gal ii gal0.9.1-2GNOME Application Libs (GAL) ii gs 5.10-10.1 Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib ii libgal60.7-2 G App Libs (run time library) ii libgal90.10-1 G App Libs (run time library) ii svgalibg1 1.4.1-2SVGA display utilities ii svgalibg1-dev 1.4.1-2Shared, non-x, graphics library used by Ghos But running ./configure in the GnoCam directory gives me still the same error. What is wrong here? I do have the right packages, haven't I? TIA, Philipp

(partly solved)Re: help! can't start X anymore
Thanks to everybody who replied, I got X working :) I just didn't upgrade all the XFree86 packages - that was kinda stupid, oh well... My desktop is 'working' now - but it's totally messed up! When it starts I get this message: You are not running a GNOME Compilant Window Manager. GNOME support by the winodw manager is strongly recommended for proper Desk Guide operation. I did an apt-get install sawmill-gnome - but I still get this! There are also no buttons ontop of every window to maximize, close or minimize it. I was using sawmill before I tried to upgrade some packages in order to get Gimp 1.2 running. And now I'm here having a totally messed up desktop. Any ideas? - any help appreciated! TIA Philipp
Re: help! can't start X anymore
Thanks for that hint :) How do I fix that - I mean I didn't want any packages from sid - I just wanted everything that goes along with libc6 in order to get Gimp 1.2 running! Do I have to do the whole downloading stuff again (I just have a 56k modem) but now from woody - what I initially intented to do? What would be the best way out of this??

This probably means you just inherited XFree 4.0.2 and attendant programs, along with the problems that go with them. The GIMP in unstable is dependent on XF402, along with the new libc6, I think. Your Potato system must be in an interesting condition at the moment. ^_^ You can try installing 'task-x-window-system' to get everything that goes with an XF402 install, if that's actually what happened.

Re: what is 'slot-service-0-3' ?
thanks for the hint to sndconfig.deb But I couldn't get it to work. It got me this error: /home/user1# sndconfig ERROR: There are already sound config options in /etc/modules.conf. This could give unexpected results. Please remove the appropriate entries from /etc/modutils/* Even after commenting out every in /etc/modules.conf (see below)I got the same error. What should I do with the files in /etc/modutils ? there are some config files from 'gom' and aliases and so on The second thing is I'm not quite sure if it's an opl3-sa2 chip that I have- with the 2.2.17 kernel I had also to load the 'ad1848' (Windows Sound System) and the 'mpu401' module for the sound to work.

pppd problem ?
Hi, I just compiled the 2.4.0 kernel. (I compiled the ppp-support into it.) When I reboot everything works fine, except for the PCMCIA modem. My PCMCIA network card works just fine. So I upgraded pppd to version 2.4.0 but it still doesn't work? Is there anything else I'm missing? Here is what I get when I try to connect to my ISP using pon: laptop:/home/user1# tail /var/log/syslog Mar 17 19:44:48 laptop chat[1785]: ^M Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: ATDT6749955^M^M Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: CONNECT Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: -- got it Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: send (\d) Mar 17 19:45:08 laptop pppd[1784]: Serial connection established.

no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi everybody, I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel. Everything is working fine except for the sound. Under kernel 2.2.17 I had this is my /etc/modules: sound mpu401 ad1848 opl3sa2 opl3 options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 options opl3 io=0x388 I used gom as the mixer. When I booted the 2.4.2 kernel (witeh the same /etc/modules) and tried to play a song I got this: Cannot open audio device. Please make sure that the audio device is properly configured. And when I try to use gom I get this: gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file /dev/mixer: No such gom: device. Error help: if loading a mixer special file leads to No such gom: device, then you most likely do have the kernel sound driver gom: not or incorrectly installed.

First of all, there seems to be a typo: The first line starting with sed creates a file __buffer.c, but the second line, starting with gcc references --buffer.c, but I'm not sure. Then, the makefile is executing a script which is trying to create a file called buffer.c (this time without __ or --), but you have not the permissions to do so. Check if there is already a file buffer.c which might have no write permissions even for the owner (happens sometimes after downloading). Before running make again, try this: touch buffer.c as the same user that is executing make. Change permissions until this works.

Thanks! I figured it out. When I was downgrading my libc6 it somehow removed the 'ldconfig' file /sbin - so I just copied it from another machine with a similar setup and I could (or better apt-get could) finish the downgrade of my libc6 and from there everything worked fine.

compiling a program
Hi, I have simple question concerning compiling a programm When I compile a program from the sources and it beakes for whatever reason, how can I get rid of all the files that were created so far or how can I remove this 'broken' program ? Is there anything like 'apt-get -f install' which is used for .deb files ? And how can I find out if a new version of a package, for example libc6, depends on any other package? For example I tried to compile a movie-player but it needed a newer version of libc6, which I don't have, so how can I find out if I need any other package for libc6 to work? (I'm still using the 2.2.17 kernel...) TIA! Philipp

problem with print server
Hi, I have a problem - I don't know how to get two printers to work with the print server. The print server is a Sercomm Fast PrintMate and the two printers are a brother HL-10V and a HP Business Inkjet 2250 PS. I got the print server working so far - I can ping, telnet and ftp to it, and it also shows the two printers (brother on Port1 and the HP on Port2 - Port3 is still free) which are on-line. Now my problem starts - how can I get something to be printed?? Before I had only one printer (the brother) connected to the server and I printed from there. Now, how do I set up lpd for the print server? What do I have to change in /etc/printcap - if any? Can anybody point me to a site about setting up print servers? Thanks a lot!!! Philipp

2 kernels on the same machine
Hi, Can I use two kernels (for example 2.4 and 2.2.17) on the same machine? I mean can I use kernel 2.2.17 as the normal kernel I boot with and then still compile kernels in the 2.4 version (not for this computer but for others) - or will with cause more problems than it would solve? :) Will there be any problem when I have two kernel sources in /usr/src? Will there be any conflicts with the modules of either version? Does anybody know any site where I can find information about this? TIA! Philipp
problem compiling kernels
Hi, I'm new to Debian and fairly new to Linux. I compiled some kernels (I'm using kernel 2.2.17) for terminals in a network (so I removed everything they don't need from the kernel except the network stuff, etc.) I compiled them on my laptop b/c it's a lot faster. Anyway I did the following after I made the configuration with menuconfig: 'make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install' Well then I moved the kernels to these machines and everything worked out fine!! But now, when I boot the original kernel on my laptop I get these errors while booting: depmod: *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/ppp.o depmod: *** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/dummy.o ... now I can't use my modem using ppp anymore b/c when I start 'pon' I get this: ioctl(TIOCSETD(PPP)): Invalid argument(22) /usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try '/sbin/modprobe -v ppp' --'modprobe -v ppp' fails too. I don't know why this is happening b/c everything was working fine before I started compiling kernels. I don't know if 'make modules_install' is the cause for this but I guess it is. (I don't have a lot of experience in compiling kernels) Can anybody tell what causes this and how I can avoid this in the future? TIA Philipp
