Anyway: -ac = an Alan Cox kernel, usually numbered -preN = a pre-release kernel, #N in a series -bkN= a BitKeeper snapshot, #N in a series As the versioning of the kernel is very rational I though that the extra suffixes was very rational as well: I was confused for both `-ac' (Aternating Current or ACtinum ?) and `-bk' (BeRkelium ?), `-pre' being rather obvious indeed.

Thank for the reply. Apt only knows what it is told about distributions/sources through their Release file.

This is apparently regarded as a fix to broken behaviour:

Personally I think it looks crap.
If you are lucky enough to be root on your system then there is a
workaround stated in the above link.
If not you will have to be content with disabling the display of volumes

Re: pdflatex from TeXLive produces much bigger pdf-file than in teTeX?

However IMHO versioning at Debian looks confusing, or (more correctly) at least make me confused : Etch is out since a long time now and people (obvously wrongly) consider it as 99+% mature even if labelled 'testing'. Cycles are long for Debian: the criteria is stability and nothing else: so `testing' really means testing as you had noticed despite yourself, `unstable' is really unstable, and `stable' is solid rock. When you install testing on your box, you must be ready for the worst: a few days ago there were troubles with the Xorg stuff, namely no more working Xserver: I you are not ready to face this kind of issue, you must consider the `stable' distribution. With some experience, you can easily manage issue in testing, but first you must familiarise yourself with the stable distribution. In fact, I read somewhere that the delivery cycle will be reviewed to make it more 'readable' (I didn't wrote 'commercial'), is that correct ? I have not heard about this part.

If so, boot into it and that will test your screen. If it works, then what you need to do is reconfigure your xserver/xorg config. One way you can do this is to copy the live cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf into hda/etc/X11/xserverconfig (I forget the exact name for xserver) or hda/etc/X11/xorg.conf then reboot. I find it doubtful that just running an external screen damaged your video card. Most likely your xorg/xserver config file changed or your fn-F8 is in the wrong position. It is possible your card is damaged though. This test will prove that, one way or another. It doesn't have to be a live CD, any debian install media will work, just don't install :~) I have just tried Knoppix: I had still the same king of trouble. Please confirm that that shutdown you did was a real shutdown to power off not a suspend to disk. Yes, I did a real shutdown. Since the projector was presumably not on battery it is possible that some electrical event fried the video card. This is indeed a possible: as the matter of fact, the trouble appeared during my first session after the show just when I tried to read an usb stick. Does the screen work when you access the bios? No ! If the screen is bad how could you read an error about corrupted video memory? It is lisible: there is random horizontal and vertical small lines on my screen: it looks as some kind of special effect. Can you boot into single-user or init=/bin/sh? and get plain console? useless Does your kernel use plain vanilla vga for console or is it a frame buffer? My favorite question: what happens if you boot using a serial console so you can read kernel messages? I do not have the necessary to give a try. Do you have another method of getting into this machine other than the attached keyboard/screen? Can you ssh into it and examine dmesg and /var/log/* ? It is not necessary. (Yes I've had a laptop, yes the screen died in both, yes from lightening; once sitting on battery power in a house with a metal roof the other sitting in a test with metal poles, both hit by lightening). Good luck. Doug. I am afraid that my video memory was fried .

Hello,
I am trying to install and boot etch in on my intel core duo mac mini.
I upgraded the firmware, I repartitioned with Apple's Boot Camp. On
boot, I now choose what to boot with rEFIt and etch was installed from
the install CD.
At this point, .
* At the end of the install, I can install lilo if and only if I have
exactly one linux partition (no swap, sda1 is an small EFI partition,
and sda2 is Mac OS X)
* grub won't install on sda3 at all
Basically, I want :
* several partitions, (a small /, and a big lvm for example)
* default OS on boot to be linux (the mini will be a remote server)
* to keep Mac OS X is plus (no need for windows)
* to install from the debian-installer
Also there is no need for 2D/3D for the linux.
What would you do ?
* erase the whole disk, and install elilo?
* use specific versions of elilo or grub?
* something else?
Which tools would you use?
* bootcamp? gparted? BIOS emulation? plain EFI?
* {e,}lilo, grub, rEFIt, Apple loader, XOM?
* debian installer or debootstrap+chroot?
Thank you, and happy christmas :)
PS: Also, I must say I am not a experiencing consistent behavior from
the mini.
* When upgrading the firmware, I got a blinking folder on reboot
instead of the official progress bar. I had the feeling of having blown
up the whole chip until the second full reinstall of Mac OS X where it
did rebooted on the hd. It is a bit creepy, specially when you don't
really really have a clue about Mac and when you used official softs and
instruction from Apple's website.
Between the two Mac OS X re-install I called Apple support, and the guy
made me do weird click-during-reboot dances that I dutifully operated.
There was the hold C, the hold left mouse but also the hold power
on button until LED blinks. I swear I also I had to hold Ctrl + Apple
key + p + r until the Mac had rebooted four times!. The tech said it
wipe clean the memory.
* Sometimes, on boot, the mini hangs on a blinking logo of a world map.
* During one Debian installation, I once had No hard drive found. The
d-i would offer a list of hd modules to choose from.
* Sometimes rEFIt will offer to boot on the CD but when selecting this
option, the mini will hang (screen shuts down completely). The way to
actually boot on the debian-installer cd is to hold C on boot.
* The mini hanged once at the point of displaying the Debian logo at
the very beginning of the boot of the debian-installer.

Re: Debian Etch on MacBook
Hi ! I am sorry for my misunderstanding. I run Lenny on a (Black) MacBook (with a (White) Mighty Mouse). It is almost fine: as the hardware is very new, it is not so well surpported: this is a very common issue which is not specific to Mac Laptops. So some part are still a little tricky to install: the Wiki is a good start. So maybe, the best choice is to chose a laptop for which the hardware is well supported. Personally I wanted to let a try to Mac (I like the Mac Minimal design :-)) Nevertheless, I think that I should take a Macbook Pro in order to get a larger screen. A last, now I have a true dual computer: OSX is great compare to Windows, and I enjoy OSX too. You can also have a trial (?) boot computer. Note that MacBooks are amd64 computers: some application (multi-media) are not yet well supported: to crunch number it is Ok.

I observed the same here Schiz0 wrote: I have Lenny running on a laptop. I selected to use grub version 2 when it prompted me (back when I first installed grub). I just now updated my apt sources and ran a upgrade. It upgraded the grub package, and I rebooted. Now, after the bios tests, the text Grub loading kernel flashes up for about a second. Then I get an endless flood of the text invalid command or something like that (it scrolls by way too fast). How can I fix this?

Re: sshfs and permissions of /dev/fuse
Hello, are you belonging to the group `fuse' ? Jerome Vincent Lefevre wrote: I've installed fuse with module-assistant auto-install fuse. Then, after loading the fuse module, I've tried sshfs, but I get the following error: fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied Here /dev/fuse has the following permissions: crw-rw 1 root fuse 10, 229 2008-02-14 13:25:53 /dev/fuse I wonder whether this is correct or if there is a bug. Indeed, the sshfs FAQ suggests that the permissions should be 666. quote from /usr/share/doc/sshfs/FAQ.txt.gz Create the device node If you don't use udev, you may get this error message: fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: No such device or address Before loading the fuse kernel module, create the device node manually: mknod -m 666 /dev/fuse c 10 229 See the 666 above. Neither the README file nor the FAQ say that the user should be added to group fuse. /usr/share/doc/fuse-modules-2.6.24-1-amd64/README.Debian mentions the group membership problem, but just to be able to use fusermount, which is quite different. So, what's the problem? * Incomplete sshfs documentation which should say that the user should be added to group fuse also to be able to use sshfs? (But isn't that a security problem because it gives the user permissions for whole fuse, not just sshfs?) * Bad /dev/fuse permissions (if there is no security concern with fuse)? * Bad /usr/bin/sshfs permissions? (i.e. should it be sgid fuse or something like that, so that *any* user can use sshfs while not necessarily having access to whole fuse?) * Anything else? -- Jerome BENOIT jgmbenoit_at_mailsnare_dot_net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

sata and esata: trouble
Hello List, I have an external SATA hard drive plugged via esata to my Debian box, whereas my internal hard drive is also a SATA hard drive. when my box is rebooted, sometimes the external SATA hard drive is chosen as internal hard drive, so I have to reboot again. I have tried to fix this issue with udev, but without success. I guess that I missed something: how can we fix the trouble ?

This is a recurring problem with the sd* drives getting assigned in different orders with each boot. I known that is a recurring problem: unfortunately I had not grab rigth answer from Google, hance my email to the list. The solution is to add a label to each of the filesystems on your drives. You don't have to reformat as each filesystem's utilities provides a way to do this. For ext2/3 its tune2fs and look for the lable option in the man page. Once you label everything, you have to change the references: 1. for boot, the kernel command line has to be root=LABEL=[label] 2. for /etc/fstab, change referennces to e.g. /dev/sda1 to LABEL=[label].

I believe you can write a udev rule to force the internal disk to sda I think this is indeed the best solution, nevertheless I do not know how to implement such persistent rules. On my Lenny box, there are persistent rules for the ethernet cards and the cds, but not for the hard drive: for the cds, symbolic links are added, and this does not work for the sd*; on the contrary, the ethernet card are renamed: can we write persistent for the sd* similar to the one for the ethernet cards ?
