Does anyone have any suggestions for how to compile a debian package,
specifically apt, for debugging? I got curious about some odd apt-get
behavior (posted here previously) and wanted to try to track it down.
Easier said than done!
I think the problem is that I'm linking with my main libapt-pkg.
For my (little home) servers, I always try a reboot after I installed
something regarding to the things it serves. If something goes wrong
(power failure, accicent, etc) I know that the vital parts work directly

Hi,
I try to run a program, but it seems that it cannot find the librarys
needed. With ldd, I see that the following librarys can not be found:
libXt.so.6
libXext.so.6

They are all present in /usr/X11R6/lib directory.
My /etc/ld.so.conf contains, among others, this directory too.

There are currently no Woody ISOs. Whether Woody will have XFree86 4.0.x

Presumably one is /etc/X11/XF86Config, what's the other one?

whenever you build a kernel (using any target zImage bzImage or
vmlinux) you will always have a uncompressed ELF kernel in the top
level kernel source directory at the end of the

Hi. I am running Debian 2.2.
I am trying to get my scsi card kernel module to load automatically when
I issue a mount command for that drive (or when other software like
dselect tries to mount that drive.)
My /etc/modules file reads as follows:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot
Hi,
I'm running testing, and I just finally upgraded to X 4.0.2 yesterday.

Hi,

I've used winesetup to make a config file and create the windows dir

I recently had someone install Debian for me on my
other computer. At the time we were setting up the device drivers for the
X window system I didn't know what video card I had. He told me to go into

machine, and it doesn't complain about the partation table again.

Alt-Ctrl-F1 should take you back to the first virtual console (and
Alt-Ctrl-F2 to the 2nd, etc). You should be able to log into a text
console there and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand or run XF86Setup or
the like

Maybe you should try ExplorerPS/2 in XFconfig rather than imps/2. It all works
