xserver crashing
Hello, I've been over the archives for the last two month but couldn't find any info about my specific problem. I updated xorg a couple of days ago from an older version (running sid). Please don't ask what older version - it's been a while. After that the xserver started crashing after a couple of hours. That wasn't a big surprise since I run nvidia binary drivers. Figured I reinstall the nvidia driver and throw in a new kernel for good measure. xserver is 1:7.3+10 Kernel: 2.6.24-1-686 nvidia : version: 171.05 Unfortunately the xserver is still crashing.Well I figured since the nvidia installer gave me a warning about the kernel being compiled with a different version of gcc I just walk away and use the nv driver since I don't care about 3d anyway. Unfortunately the nv driver also crashes :-) This is with a 7600GS and a nforce 650i motherboard. Does anybody have any suggestions what might be the problem here? The only thing I could think about doing right now is downgrading xorg but that might open a whole new can of worms...

fglrx+AMD64+nforce3mobo
Hello, this was supposed to go to the maintainer but did not get accepted by the server. Just dropping it here in case somebody stumbles over the same problem and is looking for a hint - I know I did. This is probably of limited interest and furthermore not really a problem with the driver itself the way I see it - anyway: I did get nothing but errors regarding the agp driver (agp not being enabled)or also errors regarding drm (the ENODEV thingy) with the debian kernel - running unstable i386 and also with x86_64. Finally got me a vanilla kernel and the package from ati and things go smooth now. I did build the onboard GART support for AMD64 and the nvidia nforce2 agp support directly in the kernel - not as modules. Dunno if it would work with modules too since I am not inclined right now totry - had enough trouble setting up this box already anyway :-) Prost, Klaus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

xserver
Hello, I just did a new install with the new installer (changed to testing sources) and that went really fine besides a couple of little bumps on the road. The only thing I can't figure out is why x doesn't start.It first tries to start and quits without an error message trying to start kdm. On startx it tells me: (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux No such device (EE) Mouse1: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device Mouse1 Ok - fine so far.The problem I got with this is that it starts the second time I startx without any error messages and the mouse works fine then.

nforce2 hangs again
Hello, I did go thru the archives (not only here) and found different remedies for this problem ranging from disabling apic and the likes to changing dma parameters to kernel patches. Since my nforce2 board was running fine at some point I figured this wouldn't apply to me for right now. History is that I got it last summer and things went humming along fine from there on until I put a secound drive in the box which of course is clear as a horse dump to me know after jumping thru hoops and replacing everything besides the mobo and the power supply. After some fighting with different kernels and drives I did just run it on one drives and everything is fine that way so far. I realise that it is not excatly what you got in mind to do when you buy a secound drive. So the big question is now: Anybody knows how to run two drives on those things?

If you got an account with a ISP that doesn't filter for viruses get rid of your ISP. Otherwise its easy to filter those out by the warnings from the ISP.

Some additional information about the problem.
The kernel is a stock Debian kernel. So was the 2.4.18 kernel.
Under 2.4.18, I do not get these errors.
If I revert back to the 2.4.18 kernel, the errors go away.
Therefore I am not certain that this drive is on the virge of death,
rather I think that the kernel is just buggered.
I had problems like that with a sis chipset and ran the cerberus hd test
on the drive for one week flat on the drive trying to destroy it (if it
doesn't work at all you don't get BS form the warranty guys) but didn't
succeed.
This was about 6 month ago.About 3 month ago happened the same thing
again. It affects only the ext3 partitions.I tried now with reiser for
/ and it works fine so far.

Re: Libranet to Sarge
While I like a lot about Libranet, my plan was to use it as a short cut installer for Debian. I hope that doesn't violate the spirit of the free (older) Libranet version. The price of Libranet seems a little high to me, considering that they rely on Debian to provide security fixes, but damn the installer is nice ;) Thats exactly what I try right now because I want reiserfs but I get all sorts of problems with apt-get giving me an error about the cache size and all the fixes the where suggested here didn't work so far. Strange thing is that I got the same sources list like I had with an original debian install and everything worked fine there.

Re: Netinstall - nothing works?
The only other suggestion is to make the rescue and root bf2.4 Woody boot floppies and boot from them. Once you get to the start of the install, then you can use the CDs (if they are good) for the install of the base system or go straight to the netinstall. I don't have a floppy drive.Unfortunately this isn't a option. I did create the reiser partitions with a 2.4.20 kernel but as you said- partitions don't even get mounted where I get stuck. Just to make sure I didn't screw up something with the ISO I burned a gentoo install CD and that boots just fine and finds all the hardware. Real strange! Are you using the Boot from CDROM option in the BIOS, or are you booting from some other method to start the boot process? Care to share your boot proceedures? Maybe there is something there. I have a couple of machines here that just won't boot from the BIOS, and I have to use floppies to get it started, then switch to the CDROMs when asked. What sort of machine is this?? I should have asked that earlier... I am only familiar with i386 and some Dec Alpha methods to get Debian running... I do use the cdrom as the first boot option and it normally works fine. I did d/l burn and try the gentoo CD just to make sure that I don't screw up something with the burning or the boot process and it worked fine.Did install mandrake yesterday and that went w/o any trouble either.It's a i386 with a sis chipset - nothing special. Strange things are that: old potato cd boots fine testing cd boots fine had the same error a while back with Knoppix I'll probably try something like throwing the archives on a prtition and chroot over there.Never tried that with debian though. BTW - just for the archive: There is a module for sis900 on the 'testing cd'. Problem is that when you choose netinstall at boot it doesn't get loaded - now that makes sense.Doesn't it? If you do default install and load all the modules a couple of times it will be there but the installer won't be able to load it with modprobe. You need to open a console and do insmod sis900.Thats as far as I got. Dhcp configuration didn't work for me. Klaus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Netinstall - nothing works?
Exactly which netinstall iso with bf2.4 kernel did you download try? Meanwhile I downloaded all images from the debian site.Well not really from there - the ones that are mentioned there. You mentioned the businesscard.iso for a testing netinstall as a second try, and IF you tried the other one available from the same site, it was a testing installer too! I know.Those installers boot at least but can't find my NIC. From what I can see, the standard 2.4.18-bf4 kernel used in Woody has both Reiserfs support, and support for your NIC compiled in... there is no need for inserting additional modules to get the netinstall going. I have done several Woody netinstalls here, and all went quite smoothly... although I don't have the same hardware as you. Same here - but for the other netinstalls I didn't use the bf-2.4 kernel Images but the regular ones. Problem seems to be that I got reiserfs partitions on there now and the kernel gives me a message about missing superblocks on the reiser partitions on startup and then stops with a kernel panic. There is no reliable way to go directly to testing at the moment that I know about, if that is where you want to end up. I don't care about that - what I do need is anything but an ext2/3 root file system.It's the second time my root pertition got corrupted and I've had enough of that. The easiest way to do a netinstall that I have found is to use the official Woody boot floppies. Tried a cd made with the boot floppies - kernel panic. If your hardware is compiled into the kernel (as yours appears to be) then all you need is the rescue and root floppies to get to the point where you can log onto the net and complete the install. I always grab the driver floppies as well... just in case. Once you have Woody installed, you can upgrade to testing or whatever fairly easily by apt-get dist-upgrade. As an alternative to the boot floppy method above, you can use one of the unofficial netinstall isos for Woody. I don't think there are any official netinst isos for Woody. Might I suggest Eduard Bloch's bootbf2.4.iso at: Tried that - kernel panic. There is obviously some problem with either my reiser partitions although they work fine or with the cd's. The 'testing' cd's boot but don't recognise my NIC. Funny thing is that a old potato cd boots just fine w/o complaining about superblocks.

Re: Netinstall - nothing works?
With the testing CD's it boots fine.Everything works ok there until I try to find my NIC. Ok - I finally figured out that there is no driver for sis900 included with the ISO - good one.

You need the trident driver for oss sound.Don't know about alsa - tried once and it looked like it would take more than 5 minutes to set up.

You can try avidemux.It definitely can do this but is still a little rough around the edges.There is nothing around that can do .rm. Xine and mplayer just starting to include support for playing some realmedia. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Proposal - non-free software removal

Now - ain't that cute, why do people that don't want non-free .deb's just remove it from their sources line? If that stuff gets kicked out of official debian you will just have to get a bunch of other sources and end up with a lot of traffic in the mailing lists that goes like'why isn't my movie player playing anything?' - no more win32 codecs'why can't I play .mp3's?' - no more here either and the list goes on... Besides of that I really get bored that for everything there needs to be an action committee with votes and chairman these days - the guys that decide what goes into debian pretty much do so as they wish anyway. And they doing a good job there in my opinion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please don't start another debate here. This seems like the proper place for a discussion, they are wanting to change the Social Contract, and we are the society they have the contract with. I'm worried that if Debian totally ignores the non-free software world, it will ignore Debian. I think a much better solution would be for Debian to find a multi-national commercial partner to take over non-free before it gets dumped... maybe HP. No matter what - I as a user like debian.Thats the reason I got it on my machine. If I don't like it I go and find something else.So can anybody else that doesn't like the distro. I won't go and tell the developers on the users mailing list what to do.Thats just ridiculous.Who wants to maintain packages that are useless when you skip the non-free department? And don't make the mistake of thinking 'what the hell'.Debian is a very high quality distro with maintainers that did a exceptional job for a long time.If people see their work go to shreds because of some political crap the will pull out if they got any self respect. If somebody wants to setup someting like a 'what-should-be-included-and-what-not' thing that guy should better be at dev-level at least.

Re: [OT] Compiling From source

How easy is it to set something up so a group of packages get automatically compiled (with some preset flags for optimization). I wouldn't do that - some apps and drivers don't work anymore with certain flags.You need to check that out first. Would compiling gcc speed up compiling ? No - useing gcc 2.95 instead of 3.2 speeds it up. 3. How much minimum spare hard drive space would I need? Depends on what you compile - mozilla uses about 800 mb of temp storage for compiling.Openoffice is supposed to be around 2,5 gig. 3. Is it worth it ? Not really.My gentoo isn't any faster than my debian.But to make up for this I break it a lot. If you feel the need to check it out yourself (like I did) go for gentoo.It's real easy to install.Just do exactly what is in the doc's.Going from scratch to kdebase is about 20 hrs. with a 900mhz duron with 512 mb RAM and a 256 internet connection.If nothing goes wrong.
