Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686: ide fails to initialize, additional information

[Håkan Lindqvist]

As the output looked the same I felt I had to check if the newly
installed 2.6.14-4 worked, and it didn't!

So, I dug out an old yaird version...

Now it works (2.6.14-5)!

So, this appears to be either a yaird bug or a linux-image <-> yaird
interaction bug.

I have the exact same problem, on a homebrew system with Intel ATA
controller.

Bug#322860: Alternative patch (verified to work)

[Håkan Lindqvist]

tags 322860 patch

Here is another patch, this one simply makes sure that the space after
search is always there (which makes the search statement valid even if
there is no domain name defined).

While I realise that the package is just an installer, I would have
found it reasonable to bump the version number (if that's all that is
required) in order to get the security fixed software installed for
those who have used this installer package.


Best regards,

Bug#291274: Fails to build with 2.4.29: missing Makefile

[Håkan Lindqvist]

I would just like to add that this problem seems to remain in 2.3.0-2.
(I was trying to build the package for the 2.6.11 kernel.)

Bug#293865: libxml2 2.6.16 does not work with DCGUI-QT

[Håkan Lindqvist]

I would like to add that dcgui-qt not only looks awful, it seems to be
utterly broken (functionality wise) as of the new libxml2 version.
To make things even worse it appears to wipe its configuration files
when started with the new libxml2 library.
(So the severity of this bug should probably be important or even
grave.)

As this is fixed in the latest dcgui-qt (valknut) version, I guess that
may be the best path...?
