On 3/9/15, Michael Tokarev m...@tls.msk.ru wrote: Indeed it does. What exit code do you suggest to use in this case? Really, anything nonzero would be fine; it's not as if qemu exit codes have any particular significance currently. I think 128+(signal number) is somewhat standard. Note this

Bug#742307: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Radeon HD 6570 (Turks) - severe display corruption esp. after boot

2014-08-12 Thread Benjamin Moody
To follow up on this issue: Another person who was having similar problems contacted me privately (thank you!) and informed me that adding radeon.dpm=1 to the kernel command line seems to fix the problem. I've done so, and it now seems to be working perfectly with kernel 3.13.10-1~bpo70+1.

2014-04-18 Thread Benjamin Moody
Package: live-build Version: 3.0.5-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Setting LB_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION to something other than 'gzip' causes live-build to recompress the initramfs. However, when this option is used in combination with LB_DEBIAN_INSTALLER=live, the result is that the installer

2014-04-08 Thread Benjamin Moody
Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Is this still an issue with a newer kernel? IIRC, this issue was fixed a while ago. Tested with kernel 3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64. The same problem occurs except that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work either. I also noticed that the newer kernel wanted

Bug#731998: Multi-arch support in libcurl dev packages

2014-01-24 Thread Benjamin Moody
I have a seemingly working patch for curl-config that basically makes it use pkg-config internally (I had to patch libcurl.pc as well for the --configure thing, but it's not that much of a problem). This means that the -dev packages now depend on pkg-config as well, but pkg-config gets

The skins of tilem contain photographs of TI calculators (e.g. file ti86.skn includes a jpeg picture of a TI-86 calculator at offset 0x571). I assume TI has the copyright for the design of the calculators. Is there no copyright issue in using photographs of these products as skins for non

Package: sox Version: 14.2.0-1 Severity: normal This issue results from a misuse of the libmagic API, which happened to work anyway in older versions of libmagic. The patch below will work with both the current libmagic (5.00-1) and the previous version (4.26-1). I haven't looked at older

Thanks! I didn't realize the Debian package was so far behind. Indeed, whatever the problem was, it doesn't happen with 5.07. Although xscreensaver now gives the following warning: xscreensaver: 22:46:09: WARNING: RANDR and Xinerama report different xscreensaver: 22:46:09: screen
