Re: Gnome in unstable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings: I recently installed a new AMD64 system with unstable (for the hardware support). I've been trying to install Gnome, but the dependencies have been a mess the whole time (almost two weeks). There are pieces that are dependent on 2.12 and others that require 2.14. I assume that if you already have Gnome installed that it still works OK, but that you can't install it if you don't already have it. The current stopper is that libgnomeui-0 and libgnomeui-common need to be installed, but libgnomeui-0 requires libgnomeui-common (=2.12.1-1) and 2.14.0-1 is the only available version. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas when it might be resolved? Hi I installed a testing system recently and to get gnome installed I set my apt sources to use stable, updated, installed gnome then upgraded back to testing. hope that helps cheers matthew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The future of the amd64 port
Hi, as some of you already noticed amd64 is now included in Debian unstable and soon in testing also[1]. This renders parts of amd64.debian.net unnecessary now (but please read on, especially mirror admins the last paragraph, thanks). As inclusion of AMD64 in Debian is now at a point where unstable nearly has all packages built[2] we are at the point to move on with this archive. We therefore decided on the following plan, which should give the smoothest possible transition: 0. Users of stable: *NOTHING* changes for you. You can skip the rest. Sarge will always be on amd64.debian.net and its mirrors, security for it will always be on security.debian.org. You only need to change something if you upgrade to etch later, but if you stay with sarge you can skip the rest of this mail. 1. amd64.debian.net will stop its own buildd and import source and binaries from Debian. 2. This method will be used until Debian etch is synced so far that debian-installer can install an etch system only using debian mirrors (and the CD-guys can built etch images only using debian mirrors). 3. At the time point 2 happens we will stop updating the amd64.debian.net unstable/testing tree, 2 weeks later we will remove them. 4. Users of unstable are encouraged to change their /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a Debian mirror now. 5. Users of testing need to wait a bit more, until Debian testing includes enough amd64 packages. That should be soon.[3] Mirror Admins: Please do *not* delete amd64 out of your configs. We will delete the unstable and etch part only (and free some space on your machines with it), but keep sarge for its whole lifetime (which means as long as the security team supports it after etch is released). You dont need to do anything, we still need you. Footnotes: [1] Thanks to the hard work of the/our buildd admin(s). [2] Modulo those that are now RC-Buggy due to FTBFS and need a new upload and also modulo those that will get removed soon (like old python versions). [3] Well, if not you will notice the 404s you get back from the archive when we drop it, after having a period of no updates. :) -- bye Joerg Maulkin ie: are we getting a nice connection? :) * gwolf silently reads Maulkin's question stone-head netinstall over 56kbps modem stockholm Maulkin: yes, they hope to have drums installed at the hotel by then so they can communicate with them at 20bit/s gwolf stockholm: Make them _fast_ drums! stockholm ok, 40bit/s gwolf I still have to meet a drummer who can slap at 40hz pgpfnJHRdJQFz.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: printing/printers
Hi Erik: updating the driver, according to your indications, led to much improved printing with openoffice. However i am still unable to print pdf documents on HP-Deskjet_5740-hijs.ppd. kpdf encounters the problem that my pdf documents (pdf of articles from scientific literature) are not standard, ie they lack an index. Besides this, for the few pages shown, i get the message: The MIME type application/postscript is not supported as input of the filter chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection on a non-PostScript file). Do you want KDE to convert the file to a supported format?

However, Adobe can print the same pdf file by selecting custom printer, that is through /usr/bin/lp. This mode allows selecting only the page format and takes a lot of ink. (only ghostscript is installed on my computer, while lpr and filters (magicfilter or apsfilter) are not. I am familiar with LPRng with mainframes but i did not try to print with BSD modes on the pc. i hope that a clarification is useful to others as well, unless i am the sole to be embarassed with such problems. best regards francesco pietra On Saturday 08 April 2006 17:10, Erik Mouw wrote: On Sat, Apr 08, 2006 at 07:12:19AM +0200, Francesco Pietra wrote: Unable to get HP Deskjet 5740 printing economically through CUPS/HPLIP/usb.

USB works fine, we've been running a HP LJ 2200 through USB for over two years without any problem whatsoever.

Get the appropriate PPD for your printer from linuxprinting.org, put it in /usr/share/cups/model, restart cups and reconfigure the printer using the PPD you just uploaded.

Re: ram
Quoting Steffen Grunewald: Wouldn't this mean that, in a dual CPU system, one should better use 4 mem modules? I just got an ASUS K8N-DL (because it is NUMA but fits into many ATX cases). It is a strange board in that CPU2 has two slots and CPU1 has 4 slots. The slots are also named strangely. Here's a diagram: | | [ ] | | | | | | | | [ ] | | | | B A | | | | 3 3 A A B B 1 2 1 2 Two banks on the left, slot B3 and slot A3. Four banks on the right, A1, A2, B1, and B2. A table of says: For CPU1Sockets Channel A A1 and A2 Channel B B1 and B2 For CPU2 Channel A A3 Channel B B3 This makes you think that if you have 4GB (4x1GB) you can put two sticks in A3/B3 and two sticks in A1/A2. But then you turn the page and you find this table: You may install 256M, 512M, 1G, 2G or 4G registered ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. * For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory modules installed per channel must be the same for better performance. Single CPU: A1 + A2 = B1 + B2 Dual CPU: A1 + A2 = B1 + B2 = A3 + B3 * When using one DDR DIMM module, install into A1 slot only. * When using two DDR DIMM modules, install into A1 and A2 slots only. [snip] THe whole A1 + A2 = B1 + B2 = A3 + B3 thing doesn't make sense because it makes it sound like if you want dual-channel memory on both CPUs you need RAM in all 6 slots, and each needs to be equal, which seems extremely limiting. I put two in A1/A2 and two in A3/B3... but then that means that channel A has 3 GB and Channel B has 1GB. Does anyone know what they're talking about, or has this board and has done some testing?

Problems with upgrading packages in unstable
When running unstable on my amd64 system, I am encountering problems upgrading five packages. The packages with the problems are docker, libbonobo2-0, libgtk2.0-bin, libselinux1, and openntpd. After upgrading them, they stay in the list of packages to be upgraded. Forcing a purge on them and reinstalling does not help the problem. This behavior started after moving from the archive on amd64.debian.net to the ftp.us.debian.org mirror. Here is the output from two subsequent aptitude upgrade runs: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aptitude upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database...
