Re: Re: Bug in both update manager and in apt-get
Hi Camaleon Update I have realised that there was another error reported once I was refusing to try checking bug reports again: E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10 I have decided to go manual, after reading this post: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=48484 I have checked all updates with apt-listbugs in my updates manager, and after finding that only one had a grave bug (imagemagick) I have commented out the relevant lines in "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.conf" and installed all but imagemagick.

Re: Re: Bug in both update manager and in apt-get
Hi Camaleon Apologies for my late reply, I would expect for any reply to my original post to reach my mailbox, but it doesn't... As I replied to Hugo, I have tried: " root@pier:/home/pier# apt-listbugs list mono-apache-server Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done " It seems to work fine, but when I try to install the package I get the same error above... This seems to me that the problem is not in accessing the bug reports otherwise the apt-listbugs command would fail too. Right? I'll hopefully have a chance to try another ISP in a week's time or so, moving to my new flat (in Brasilia by the way) is taking longer than expected. Will keep you posted, thanks again.

Bug in both update manager and in apt-get
Hi I have this bug when trying to install security updates (in update manager), and when trying to install mon-apache-server (with apt-get-install): " Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message: W: HTTPClient::KeepAliveDisconnected It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again " This problem is recent, didn't have it until few days ago... This is happening in my squeeze install on macbook pro 3.1.

tweak pm-utils to re-enable second cpu on intel t7250
I finally managed to resolve my troubles with
kde/pm-utils/hibernate&suspend... i'm wondering...
it is in anyway dangerous this hand made script to tweak pm-utils on
suspend?
here you are:
piccolino:/etc/pm# cat sleep.d/95cpus
#!/bin/bash
. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"
case "$1" in
suspend)
invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils stop
rmmod -f acpi_cpufreq
;;
resume)
modprobe -v acpi_cpufreq
invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils start
;;
*) exit $NA
;;
esac
this solve my proble with the dual core intel cpu when suspending (on ram):
resuming resulted in missing cpufreq for cpu1 and missing stuff regarding
this core all around /sys/devices/cpu/cpu1 etc.
i'm a little bit anxious about the forced rmmod... any hints?
Another question: while thaw from hibernate result in a system power
consuming of ~16W and consequentially in a battery life ~3h,
resuming from suspend results in a system power consume of ~18-19 slowly
decreasing to 17 and a shorter battery life. That's true even considering
the (i presume) high power (and time) consume on "boot" for hibernate!
thanks for any advice

Re: Debian AMD64
According to my experience, after the release of flash 64 bit, only Citrix ICA Client is actually a trouble (and i use it only on my 32bit system), better, the setup of dependency libraries was a mess...

Dell bluetooth Broadcom BCM2045B2, lenny
Hi all! A little help... Cannot get to work BCM2045B2 MiniPC bluetooth module found in my Dell Vostro 1400. Various pages states it "work out of the box" but not for me... I installed all the stuff bluetooth, bluez-utils, bluez-firmware (BCM203x), bluez-audio, bluez-pcmcia, python-bluez, kbluetooth I managed to modprobe hci_usb and/or bfusb(?) Bluetooth led always off I haven't WinXP or Vista, and i can't install them A couple of questions: 1. A little summary about how to make a new initramfs image with new modules? Why bluetooth modules is not called from kernel on boot? ( i try an update-initramfs -u ) 2. I think i need a firmware for this feature, isn't right? ehre can i find it? 3. How i implement this path? Or, is this patch implemented in kernel 2.26-1 amd64? uname --all Linux piccolino 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 15 17:25:36 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsmod Module Size Used by nvidia 8105072 26 rfcomm 38176 2 hidp 19072 2 l2cap 23936 14 rfcomm,hidp bluetooth 57124 5 rfcomm,hidp,l2cap ipv6 288328 10 acpi_cpufreq 11792 1 cpufreq_powersave 6400 1 cpufreq_stats 9120 0 cpufreq_conservative11784 0 cpufreq_ondemand 11792 0 freq_table 9344 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_userspace 8452 0 dm_crypt 17032 0 sbp2 25356 0 loop 19468 0 ide_cd_mod 36360 0 cdrom 37928 1 ide_cd_mod usbhid 45792 0 hid41792 2 hidp,usbhid ff_memless 9224 1 usbhid uvcvideo 55560 0 compat_ioctl32 12288 1 uvcvideo videodev 35840 2 uvcvideo,compat_ioctl32 v4l1_compat17284 2 uvcvideo,videodev joydev 14848 0 snd_hda_intel 434776 1 snd_pcm_oss41760 0 snd_mixer_oss 18816 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm81672 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss arc46272 2 snd_seq_dummy 7428 0 ecb 7296 2 crypto_blkcipher 21636 2 dm_crypt,ecb snd_seq_oss33152 0 snd_seq_midi 11072 0 snd_rawmidi26784 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 11904 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq54304 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event piix 12424 0 [permanent] iwl394592916 0 ohci1394 32564 0 sdhci 19460 0 firmware_class 12544 1 iwl3945 snd_timer 25744 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 11668 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq ieee1394 93816 2 sbp2,ohci1394 mmc_core 52448 1 sdhci mac80211 162864 1 iwl3945 ricoh_mmc 8448 0 i2c_i801 13596 0 serio_raw 9860 0 ide_pci_generic 9220 0 [permanent] led_class 8968 1 iwl3945 iTCO_wdt 15696 0 i2c_core 27936 2 nvidia,i2c_i801 ide_core 128284 3 ide_cd_mod,piix,ide_pci_generic snd63688 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device pcspkr 7040 0 psmouse42268 0 tg397156 0 cfg80211 30224 2 iwl3945,mac80211 soundcore 12064 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13072 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm ata_generic10116 0 video 24212 10 output 7808 1 video ehci_hcd 36108 0 wmi11712 0 ac 9352 0 battery16904 0 button 11680 0 intel_agp 31728 0 uhci_hcd 25760 0 dcdbas 11952 0 evdev 14208 10 ext3 125072 4 jbd51240 1 ext3 mbcache12804 1 ext3 dm_mirror 20608 0 dm_log 13956 1 dm_mirror dm_snapshot19400 0 dm_mod 58864 8 dm_crypt,dm_mirror,dm_log,dm_snapshot sd_mod 29376 9 thermal22688 0 processor 42304 4 acpi_cpufreq,thermal fan 9352 0 thermal_sys17728 4 video,thermal,processor,fan ahci 33036 8 libata165472 2 ata_generic,ahci scsi_mod 160760 3 sbp2,sd_mod,libata dock 14112 1 libata sudo lsusb -vs 001:003 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp.
