Re: gpilotd / gnome-pilot issues
Ok, I added myself to dialout, but being as I do not use ppp at all to connect its a rather odd group to be added to...but I did already have permissions set up so that I could access the device, Jpilot was working. I notice that lately it has been crashing almost always as soon as I hit the sync button on the cradle.

gpilotd / gnome-pilot issues
Ok, I just started breaking...er uh I mean...working on things with Linux again and it seems every time I get the time to do this something doesn't want to behave...so, here it is. (and yes I have tried debian-pilot with this) I have my palm connected via usb, and I have all the kernel stuff, and pilot-link installed. I can sync with Jpilot, no problem. But what I really need is to be able to sync with gnome-pilot. For some reason whenever I try to run gnome-pilot, the settings wizard thing pops up, I set everything to USB and have tried /dev/pilot and /dev/ttyUSB1 but nothing syncs when it goes to the initial sync page. As a matter of fact, I am now getting --- Application gpilotd (process 572) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault) --- whever I try. I end up with this if I run gpilotd from the command prompt. --- gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 2.0.10 starting... gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.11.7 gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [USB] [IrDA] [Network] (gpilotd:651): gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of devices is configured to 0 (gpilotd:651): gpilotd-WARNING **: No accessible devices available (gpilotd:651): gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of pilots is configured to 0 gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server gpilotd-Message: bonobo_activation_active_server_register = 2 gpilotd-Message: Cannot register gpilotd because already active which leaves me at a loss because I have no idea what needs to be done to rememdy this sync problem, since I really need to be using gnome-pilot to sync with evolution (and months ago last time I tried it worked) I don't want to give up and just use Jpilot Thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

my ongowing struggle with java
Ok, I have been having a horrible time getting java to behave, I thought I followed the directions explicitly but I guess I messed something up somewhere. Here is what I did: First I unpacked everything in /usr/java/ and added this to a line in my /etc/profile PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin Then I copied the symlink in /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/ to my ~/.mozilla/plugins folder. Now here is the wierd part. There are 3 sets of plugins in there ns4 ns600 and ns610. If I use the ns4 plugin java:plugin does tell me that it is loaded but when I go to a site that requires java_vm it tells me that the plugin does not exist. if I use either of the other two plugins it simply crashes my browser (makes it disappear) I have gotten a terminal message that tells me it could not exec java_vm. I have also had my Path statement like it is commonly done in my ~/.bash_profile with the export path but that did not work either.

snes9x issues
My last question came to such an excellent answer that I thought I would post this on e here as well. :) Anyhow, I installed snes9x and I am trying to get it to run as what you would expect from full screen. Instead I just get the rest of my screen blacked out and the game, small, and in the middle. I did notice the -sc option that I can use, and I suppose that this may be how you get it to scale up to fit the entire screen but when I use this command snes9x gameneme -fs -sc I end up with a blank black screen and then the games sound, but no pictue.

Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got hardware sensors working on a few motherboards here and even took notes on how it was done. Perhaps these notes might be useful to you. Notes on Installing sensor support in a Debian system. 0) For the following, it is assumed that a new 2.4.20 kernel was already compiled, installed and working. It is also assumed that the kernel was compiled using the debian kernel build system make-kpkg. The kernel source should be in /usr/src/linux either directly or by a symbolic link. 1) have a working 2.4 series kernel with module support included. Make sure that i2o items are NOT compiled in. Once this kernel is installed and working, the modules are ready to be included. Make sure you are running the kernel to which the modules are to be added. This seems to be the easiest way to make the module version numbers consistent with the kernel version number. 2) obtain the debian packages: i2c-source,lm-sensors, lm-sensors-source, and sensord. Optionally also get other monitors like sensor-sweep-applet, wmsensors or xsensors. The package xsensors is not in woody but getting the source and building it locally using apt-get source works fine. 3) Become root and change to the /usr/src directory. In this directory there will be tar files named i2c.tar.gz and lm-sensors.tar.gz. When these tar files are expanded they write themselves into the /usr/src/modules directory. This directory may already exist if other modules have already been installed in this kernel. 4) Extract the files by tar zxf i2c.tar.gz and tar zxf lm-sensors.tar.gz 5) cd /usr/src/linux and run the command make-kpkg modules_image When the build has completed there will be debian packages in /usr/src named i2c-2.4.19_2.6.5-3+lb.custom.1.1_i386.deb and lm-sensors-2.4.19_2.6.4-3+lb.custom.1.1_i386.deb 6) install these packages with the commands dpkg -i i2c-2.4.19_2.6.5-3+lb.custom.1.1_i386.deb and dpkg -i lm-sensors-2.4.19_2.6.4-3+lb.custom.1.1_i386.deb 7) As root (as always) run the program sensors-detect. This tool sweeps the smbus and determines the devices that are on it. It then reports the chip types and the relevant modules that need to be loaded to get the hardware sensors system working. This program mostly works but does not always work. See the last step for suggestions if the modules were detected incorrectly. 8) Cut and paste the results from sensors-detect into the relevant files as it requests. For one motherboard as an example, the lines: # I2C adapter drivers i2c-viapro # I2C chip drivers w83781d have to be pasted into the file /etc/modules. Then the command update-modules has to be run. Then paste the lines # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev into the file /etc/modutils/local Then run the command /etc/init.d/modutils 9) After these steps are completed, the required modules will be loaded. This can be checked by the output of the lsmod command. The output for this example is Module Size Used byTainted: P w83781d19224 0 (unused) i2c-proc6416 0 [w83781d] i2c-viapro 3860 0 (unused) i2c-core 15052 0 [w83781d i2c-proc i2c-viapro] 10) Then reboot the system. If the module system is working correctly then after boot the loaded modules should be identical to the previous output of lsmod 11) To verify that the kernel interface is correctly tied to the hardware run the command sensors Typical output in this example is w83782d-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter VCore 1: +1.77 V

Nvidia corrupting kernel?
For some reason the nvidia module is not loading at startup. I had to reinstall my emu10k1 modules and my nvidia module after installing the kernel version 2.4.20 and now I have to manually kill gdm and modprobe nvidia...this works and gives me a thought as to what might be the problem. Aparently it gives the warning that it could/is corrupting the kernel when it loads. What is causing this?

Re: Gnome2 / Apt messed up
Well, I got my apt sources taken care of by, as you said, deleting my cd entries and then running apt-cdrom. Unfortunately I still can not get gnome removed. How would I be able to completely remove gnome and then reinstall? Does anyone know what packages have to go...so far by doing apt-get remove gnome-session and reinstalling it has not helped, and if I try an apt-get install gnome it gives me grief about broken packages. What I meant to say about the no desktop is that I run Gnome 2.2 with gnome-panel and sawfish, but I do not run nautilus on my desktop (ie icons on the desktop) but that is kinda irrelivant. for the record I am using gdm2 and that works fine.

Update modutils to 2.4.19 (in testing). In general, for any kernel version, you need a modutils with the newest possible modutils (but it can be modutils version = kernel version).
