Re: Laptop won't resume from suspend to ram
2009/12/16 Adriano Vilela Barbosa adriano.vil...@yahoo.com: I'm facing a very annoying problem with Debian testing on my laptop since this past weekend. Basically, the machine won't resume from a suspend to ram (resuming from suspend to disk works fine). It's not just a problem with a blank screen upon resuming; the machine actually gets completely frozen. I can hear the hard disk spinning though. I suspected it could be something to do with the wireless card (as the wireless LED doesn't come on when resuming), so I tried shutting down the network interface and unloading all kernel modules before putting the machine to sleep, but that didn't help. I tried kernels 2.6.30, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 (the last two from Debian sid) with no luck. Furthermore, I suspect this problem is related to some package upgrade over the last few days, since everything was working just fine until last Friday or Saturday. [SNIP] Shot in the dark but may help. Something similar happened when I did a new install last year on a laptop. Curiously the problem disappeared when I did a re-install. The only difference was that second time around I had swap equal/more than RAM. I did not really get down to investigate real cause. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there.

Re: public key
2009/3/28 Daniel Dalton d.dal...@iinet.net.au: How do I set up public key on linux? And then how do I sign files and emails? I have read up on this, so understand the basics I think, but just wondering what tools I use for: decrypting files, encrypting files, signing files and actually generating my key? Create a key. If you are using thundebird (as your mail in other thread implies) make sure you have installed enigmail package. If it has been installed you will see additional menu when you launch thunderbird which can hel you all this. What is the difference between signing and encrypting? Encryption of outgoing document is done by recipients public key so that he can de-crypt. Signing is done by your key where the message is not neccessarily encrypted. This generates a hash which can be used by recipient to verify your message has not been tampered with using your public key. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there.

You get this error even if you run updatedb or sudo commands on install.

Is it possible to hibernate if my swap partition is smaller than my RAM? I have 2 GB of RAM, and when I installed Debian, I figured I would hardly ever need that much, so I made swap 1.4 GB. IIRC the ram image is compressed using lzw compression. Therefore it actually depends upon how well things compress. If you have good compression then it would fit. But if not then it wouldn't. But it is data dependent upon what is in ram at the moment. Using lzw is not really intended to reduce the amount of disk needed but is done as a way to speed up the hibernate process. Writing disk is slow and if that can be reduced then hibernation is faster. But it might work to your advantage anyway. Is it me or you also need big enough /tmp. I installed lenny 64 with /tmp of 512mb with ram of 2gb suspend/hibernate would not work. On a reinstall (for some other reason) I made /tmp 2.5gb now both work.

They use WorldMerge because it allows to do the work in a few steps and has a simple interface. It also keeps track of all messages (and receivers) that have been sent. Since end result is email out to contacts would it be possible to use something like phplist? You can maintain several lists for different categories of contacts and a single message may be sent to one or several or all lists. -- Regards, Sudev Barar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But, that's only if I have more than one X-server, correct? I understood that only one X-server is needed. Am I thinking about that right? ~Telly Replying on the list as this may end up in more learning for me as well. Since the objective is to reduce resource pressure on the system you may use alternative X-server. I do not know answers but gurus on the list may give more pointers as to which X-server is most efficient. As far as only use of alternative display managers is concerned you can just do apt-get install icewm or xfce4 or matchbox. -- Regards, Sudev Barar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

First as root (or sudo) edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add at the bottom on a line by itself: blacklist bcm43xx This will ensure that next time around when you boot the machine this driver will not be loaded. Now you need to download ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper utilities. You will also need to download and extract in to a directory the windows driver for your card and then use ndiswrapper to install this driver for wireless to work.

Re: Still: AIGLX: Screen 0 not dri capable
On 26/05/07, Georg Heinrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm so desperate that I even consider to recompile the xserver-xorg package and configure it without dri. However I didn't figure out how to do that. I got the source with apt-get source xserver-xorg and am stuck here. How do I configure the build of this module? Is there any other way of fixing this problem? You will be able to run everything. First append the following in the bootline of your kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst vga=771 Easier way would be to just press e when grub boots and then use up/down arrow to come to line two and again press e and append vga=771 at the very end of this line. Now press escape and b to boot. You can also install Nvidia driver (you will have to download files from Nvidia site) by running module compilation utility. I have just installed the same on a HP tablet note book and am now able to run 3D effect also using this dirver.
