   Hi,

   

   I installed glib 2.14 because i need gtk 2.10 or better to install the 
newest gimp on etch. 

The installation of the glib package went smoothly. 

I followed exactly the installation instructions. But when i try to configure 
gtk 2.11 I get the following error message;



   

   *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.14.0, but GLIB (2.12.4)

   *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best

   *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error

   *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing

   *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is

   *** required on your system.

   *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH

   *** to point to the correct configuration files



   

   Could anyone advise me how to fix this error?

   

   Thanks a lot,

   

   jmak

Subject: Re: Needs help with Sidux install

 
 Hello,
 
 I have a unique problem involving sidux. I already tried to get help from
 sidux users from thier forum but no one could help me. This is why I am
 trying my chances here.
 The problem: When I run the live cd it takes about 3 to 4 minutes  to
 output a long text on the screen and after it hangs. The cd is ok because
 i've tested it on other machines. This is the output;
 
 ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
 ata1.01: cmd c8/00:08:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/f0 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 4096
 in
 
 This repeats at least 10 times, then I get
 
 failed to detect live media
  
 then
 
 Busybox v1.1.3.. and lots of other text
 
 then
 
 bin/sh: cannot access tty;
 job cotrol turned off
 
  then
 
 (initramfs)
 
 and hangs.
 
 My computer is ok because I can run ubuntu, etch, fedora sabayon without
 any problem. Only sidux that fails. I hope some can help me solving this
 annoying problem. I am just a regular user.
 
 Thanks a lot,
 jmak

Two suggestions (guesses, really):  Try other boot options, like fail-safe.
I have several machines running Sidux and they act differently to the live
CD.  Still no joy?  Download Sidux again and burn another CD - at low speed.
A not-quite-right copy may work ok one one machine, but not on another.

At present, I have Sidux installed on five machines.  Works great!

   I burned a cd again, but still the same problem.  The other boot options 
also didn't help.

You've no idea how hard it was to make sure that we've common artwork

debian-moreblue. I like debian-moreblue more than your stuff, but I'm
of course biased.

The problem I see with your artwork is that the red swirl seems to be
something lost over the blue wallpaper, asking some artists that have
no idea about what Debian is give me the impression that
debian-moreblue was the right decision.

Closing, Debian is not and never will be about hate each other's work,
if you're satisfied with your own stuff, great! If you think that
almost all the users would enjoy that you're free to join us at
debian-desktop mailing list and submit your desktop-base (this is a

need to keep it also in mind.

   For me the problem is that etch default look and feel is totally out of 
date. Even those who doesn't have artistic training can sense that the artworks 
are amateurish. When I showed the artworks to my graphic designer friends they 
were horrified. 

   But here is a question; why did you choose Rodent as a default when there 
are so many awesome icons are available on the gnome look site?

   Anyhow, thanks for the invitation for joining the debian-desktop mailing 
list; I might join.

Easily fixed; as root just type apt-get install pppconfig [without the

Thanks,
But the pppconfig package cannot be found on the cd and I cannot connect to the 
internet to install it. Is there way to connect to the internet without 
pppconfig?

Yes, you can write/edit the config files yourself. You will need to
change at least /etc/ppp/peers/provider and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (or
chap-secrets)

See 'man pppd' and the docs in /usr/share/doc/ppp/ for more info.

Thanks for the reply,

I just start realizing that something is wrong with this installation because 
many files are missing. There is no /etc/ppp/provider file there is no man 
pppd, the  /usr/share/doc/ppp entry is also missing. I guess I have to wait and 
reinstall it when the final will come out. 
I have never experienced something like this before.

Are you sure you have the package ppp installed? What are you
installing from?

No, the pppconfig package is not installed from some strange reason. And I 
cannot connect to the internet to download it.

Please read again. I asked about the *ppp* package, not pppconfig. ppp
is the one who actually does the work. pppconfig is just a convenient
way to setup things.

BTW, you are able to read your e-mail. Why can't you download packages?

Forgive my ignorance but I am not sure how to respond to your question. How 
should I figure that the ppp package is installed?
By the way, I also have ubuntu installed on a separate partition, this is how I 
can connect to the internet.

If you can post to this mailing list, then you have internet access from 
some other computer. I think it should be enough to download just these 
two files:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/ppp/ppp_2.4.4rel-8_amd64.deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pppconfig/pppconfig_2.3.15_all.deb

They can fit even of floppy disk. Then take it to your computer, mount 
the floppy or whatever, change to mount directory and install with

dpkg -i ppp_2.4.4rel-8_amd64.deb
dpkg -i pppconfig_2.3.15_all.deb

Just to mention, since you are on dial-up, it would be probably the best 
to acquire Etch DVDs.

Thanks for the pppconfig package but I cannot install it because of dependency 
problems.

Right, sorry about that.

Replace amd64 with your architecture. You can type

$ apt-cache show libc6 | grep Architecture

My architecture is i386.

Which dependecy problems? Help us help you. You can always paste the relevant 
information in your email (in this case, it would be the output of dpkg). 
Also, depending on the amount of missing packages, you can easily download them 
from Ubuntu. 


This was the output massage:
depends on ppp (=2.3.7)
package ppp is not installed

I suspect that you didn't choose the right install options.  You may
be able to correct the problem by re-running the installer,
called base-install.  Try man base-install to see if there's a
man page.

There may be a more fundamental problem, however.  Earlier you posted
that your installation media lacks pppconfig, which is part of the main 
distribution. Do you have a full set of the installation media?  You
should not have to run around the net looking for missing pieces.

Apparently somebody decided that ppp and pppconfig are not essential.  I think 
your case suggests that it is, so you might want to take up the issue on a
developer list such as debian-cd or debian-testing, or just file a bug report.

In the meantime you can find the dependancies of ppp using the command 
apt-cache depends ppp and install each of those dependancies before you
installing ppp and pppconfig.

Here is the output I get on Sarge:

$ apt-cache depends ppp
ppp
   Depends: libc6
   Depends: libpam0g
   Depends: libpcap0.7
   Depends: zlib1g
   Depends: libpam-modules
   Depends: libpam-runtime
   Depends: netbase
   Depends: procps
   Depends: makedev
   Suggests: libatm1
   Conflicts: ppp-pam
   Conflicts: ppp-udeb
   Conflicts: pppdcapiplugin
   Replaces: ppp-pam
   Replaces: ppp-udeb


Thanks for clarifying the issue. I wait till the final version come out hoping 
that it will include the package. In the mean time I take up the issue on the 
developer-testing list or file a bug report as you suggested.

Jmak

ppp *is* included on the xfce disk, but not pppconfig. This will
probably not change on the final version because packages are included
by popularity.

-- 
Actually, Andrei was right the cd includes not only the ppp but both packages. 
When I issued the aptitude install ppp command that installed the pppconfig 
as well. After the installation everything went smoothly. So I am now up and 
running happily; in the meantime, I would like to thank to everyone who helped 
me solving this problem. I have one minor glitch left.  I can issue the pon 
command only in root mode. Is there a way of changing that to a simple user 
mode? 

Thanks alot,
Jmak

pppconfig command not found

2007-03-23 Thread eklektik
Hi,
I've just installed etch and want to hook up to the Internet via an external 
modem. But when I issue the command pppconfig I get the message command not 
found. pppconfig always worked for me before. Now I dont know how to hook up 
to the internet.
Also after installation my ubuntu on the other partition doesn't see the 
partitions any longer. What could be the problem.

Probably a silly question but :- did you install pppconfig?

Actually the pppconfig is not installed from some reasons. I thought when I 
install the distro the pppconfig is part of the istallation. So what can I do 
now? 

jmak

(Sorry the previous email went to the wrong place)

If I understood right, when you installed Etch, Ubuntu ceased to see the 
partitions in which Etch was installed.
Perhaps you changed the filesystem in the partition when you installed Etch; 
see your /etc/fstab in Ubuntu and verify if it is correct. 



 That's exactly what happened. But for that problem I found a solution. In 
/etc/default/rcS I changed the FSCKFIX=no to yes. Now, Ubuntu sees the 
partitions again. So that is ok now. But i have no clue why this happened. I 
didnt touched anything and the installation went without a glitch. The problem 
now is that I dont have pppconfig installed.
