Here, I can go to npr.org, click the 'listen' tab, click on the (e.g.) 'Morning Edition' link, a new window opens, click on the Flash icon (I'm using NoScript / Flashblock), then click the 'play' icon on the player that appears, and it starts.

As noted previously in this thread the GNU Flash player 'gnash' does not (yet) work with the Flash used on the www.npr.org site. That is the nature of the problem with Flash. FLOSS versions will always be chasing the closed versions. Any suggestions? 1. Participate in the advocacy for free protocols. We should not be caught in traps like this. 2. Work with the GNU Flash team to improve gnash until it does work in all cases. 3. Obviously if you are using a platform for which there is the closed source proprietary version such as a 32-bit x86 platform then you could install the Adobe Flash player for it. I can't recommend doing this but it does work with that combination. Thanks Bob. Suddenly success with Iceweasel 7.0.1 and Adobe Flash 10.3d162 in Sid arch. amd64.

Re: nvidia-driver - some problems

My problems: 1. I want to use 3d-accceleration, so I need to use the proprietrary driver from Nvidia. 2. This card is not supported by the newest driver, but with nvidia-kernel- legacy-173xx and nvidia-glx-173xx. 3. I am using kernel 3.0, but the above modules cannot be built, as it says wrong kernel version, only 2.6 is supported. 4. The alternativenv cannot be used, due to xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg- core version incompabilities. 5. At the moment I have to use nouveau driver, but acceleration is not really fast. This is the situation. So, maybe you have an idea. Possibilities: 1. Maybe change nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx so it can be build with the latest kernel. If the build is NOT WANTED by the developers, please point me to. Otherwise it is a bug and should be fixed. 2. In case the developers decided to use the nouveau driver instead of nv or the legacy driver ONLY for OLDER Nvidia cards, please tell me. Otherwise it is a bug, and should be fixed. 3. If the developers decided, NOT to use kernel 3.X.X for older computers, please tell me. Information: At the moment I MUST use the nouveau driver, when I want to use kernel 3.0, with kernel 2.6.39, the nvidia drivers are building fine.

Re: String Manipulation and a Need for RS-232
Martin McCormick wrote: I have used GCC C for years to write a number of programs for work and play and it is great but I think I am needing to branch out a bit as my latest project is causing me fits. I have a scanner radio receiver that uses RS-232 to communicate with the computer and I got that part of things to work well. Here's the problem. The radio receives commands via CSV strings as in sin,abc,def,1,7,8,etc,etc\r and its output is also CSV as in sin,err\r or sin,lot,of,variables,to,read\r I also got that working such that it could read the response and break out all the CSV variables in to separate strings. In other words, it does work and with gdb, one can trouble-shoot it fairly easily. I have this nagging feeling, though, that there may be a better way to write this program since C is not as good at string manipulation as some other languages. In my program, you have to do a lot of grunt work just to be sure that the 15TH field really is the 15TH field in the string one is sending out. In the standard set of tools that are free and found on most Unix systems, which language such as perl, python, etc can handle rS-232 gracefully and do strings without having to reen vent the wheel? I had this epiphany after spending most of last weekend and early this morning digging through this program I had written only to find that the reason things weren't working was that it appears that I sent out a CSV string with some of the variables shifted by a couple of spaces. I can easily fix that, but it got me to thinking. If I can do all of this within one language, including the RS-232 coms, that will be great. If I were in your situation, I would convert your C programs to C++ (changing prog.c to prog.cpp) and use Qt. I use it many places just for its string manipulation and Qt has great documentation. Just install libqt4-dev, qt4-dev-tools, qt4-qmake and qt4-doc. Create a prog.pro file for your prog.cpp and run 'qmake -o Makefile prog.pro' and then 'make' and away you go.

[OT] BIOS Power On by PS/2 Keyboard
Hi, Since about 6 months I have an Asus M4N98TD EVO mobo. Very satisfied with it. It has a feature on its BIOS that got me stumped. BIOS has a Power Menu that has a submenu of APM configuration. APM configuration has an item Power On by PS/2 Keyboard that I had set to space bar. But I was getting errors on my keyboard. So I bought a new keyboard, which had exactly the same errors, so the problem was not the keyboard. So I disabled that feature. Now what has me stumped is that even though Power on by PS/2 Keyboard is disabled, I can still power on the system by hitting the space bar twice. And it seems that the keyboard errors have disappeared. Anyone venture an explanation? Thanks. Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Looking for an alternative to mysql
D G Teed wrote: snip Sorry, but your question seemed naive and still seems so. I was actually hoping to hear my understanding of your concern was wrong. There are thousands of web sites, big and small, using mysql and postgresql. They all have bugs, just as any Linux or another other OS we choose has bugs, some big, some small. Oracle has bugs as well - some as serious as found in any major open source database project. This inability to install a database is not a real inability, but rather an irrational choice. If mysql was seriously flawed, then it should surely fall apart under the weight of its use to power facebook. If the facebook example seems like a one hit wonder, take a look at the other customers of mysql: http://www.mysql.com/customers/ If stability is your concern, don't run with Sid. It is for development work and testing changes. People might run Sid on the desktop for getting slightly later and greater packages, but Sid is not for production use. I agree.

Re: Boot errors
Frank McCormick wrote: I am still seeing a bunch of errors related to udev when I boot this machine running Sid up-to-date. The errors come from udev but are not logged anywhere. I suspect they are related to the situation weeks ago when an update created a situation which needed a new directory off the root which didn't yet exist. The solution (which I implemented) was to delete the /run directory in the root. Does anyone else see these udev errors? They don't seem to affect the operation of Sid. I see them. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624145 Hgo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: who creates 'dev/mapper/vgHDB-HDB9'?

The reason I ask is that sometimes with mondorescue they are not created and I cnnot access the lv's. I don't know mondorescue. To access lv from my rescue system (grml) I use the following commands: /sbin/vgscan /sbin/vgchange -ay This creates the /dev/mapper/ entries - and is what is done in debian's lvm2 init script. That's exactly what the mondorescue init script does but in some cases this does not create the /dev/mapper/ entries. I'd sure like to know why. I have a hunch that it is not able to create the lockfile. Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
