wrapper pour flash?

Mise à jour de ALSA
Bonjour, J'ai installé Libranet 1.9.1 sur mon portable Toshiba. Vraiment très trèsbien!!! Ximian Gnome, Kernel 2.4.3, et Xfree 4 et le reste en potato. Une bonne alternative en attendant Woody... Par contre, la version de ALSA (0.5.10b) sur cette distribution ne supporte pas ma carte de son (CS4281). J'ai donc installé, à partir des sources, alsa-lib, alsa-drivers, alsa-utils. J'ai suivi les instructions du readme: ./configure, make, make install, ./snddevices, etc. Lorsque je démarre alsaconf, je vois bien que la version à été mise à jour à 0.5.11, mais la choix des pilotes ne semble pas avoir été mis à jour. Pas de "cs4281" et pourtant, cette version est supposé supporter bien ce pilote. Ai-je oublié une étape lors de l'installation? Comment installer ce nouveau pilote? Merci, Sébastien Plante

apt-get dist-upgrade cuelga ordenador?
Hola Tengo un amigo con Debian Sid y Kernels actuales (2.4.10, 2.4.12...) Últimamente se le ha colgado dos veces la máquina, siempre en medio de un apt-get dist-upgrade No le damos la culpa al apt-get, pero es curioso (actualiza 2 veces per semana) Estamos pensando (bueno, él más bien) que las dos veces tenía las x-window ejectuandose, y las dos veces habia actualizaciones de los paquetes de x-window. Podría ser que colgasen la máquina? (cuando dice colgada, es que hay un mp3 y no suena ni este, el mouse no se mueve, etc...) A alguien más le ha pasado? Gracias!

Re: Imap Cyrus + Procmail + Postfix
OK que yo sepa, no se trata de una limitación de Procmail, pues cuando se trata de formato Maildir, dice que con añadir al final la barra en la ruta de entrega, ya entiende... ii procmail 3.15.2-1 Versatile e-mail processor. ii postfix0.0.19991231pl A mail transport agent ii cyrus-admin1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (administration tool) ii cyrus-common 1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (common files) ii cyrus-imapd1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (IMAP support) estas son las versiones. el procmail dejó de funcionar en cuanto el transporte en Postfix se especificó como Cyrus y no con el que tenia por defecto, que imagino que era SMTP. en principio no he visto referencias a Procmail en la documentacion de Cyrus y viceversa. la verdad es que tendrias que dar mas datos yo uso postfix + maildrop + courier. uso el maildrop en lugar de procmail porque maildrop soporta maildir, claro que yo se lo especifique en tiempo de compilacion, no se si se pueda hacer cuando ya esta compilado. se que las versiones nuevas de procmail tambien soportan maildir, pero no se a partir de cuando ni como se configura asi que no te puedo dar muchos detalles al respecto. saludos, diego. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Me temo que no. Cuando te actualices a Woody se tendrán en cuenta las nuevas versiones de los parquetes. Así por ejemplo si decides instalar gnupg, apt querrá instalar la versión 1.0.6-2 (la de Woody), me imagino que por Internet, en vez de la 1.0.4-2 (la de Potato), aunque la tengas en CD. Siempre puedes instalar la versión antigua a mano, localizando el fichero .deb en el CD y usando dpkg -i. Probablemente no haya problemas de dependencias, pero es un riesgo... (y un engorro). Mi consejo es que te hagas con unos CD de Woody, porque el cambio es casi-definitivo. Potato funciona muy bien aunque algunas cosas sean antiguas y falten otras; si no tienes buenos motivos para cambiar, quédate en Potato.

stable unstable - fonte
All --- Debian Weekly News http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/23 Debian Weekly News - 25 de Setembro de 2001 --- Fontes faltando depois de um upgrade. Várias pessoas relataram problemas com fontes depois de um upgrade do X. Caracteres apareciam como quadrados no Gnumeric, GIMP, XMMS ou outros programas. Isto é causado pela presença do fontes codificadas com ISO10646-3 (Unicode) nos novos pacotes de fontes do X 4.1.0. Muitas aplicações e toolkits não especificam que codificação de caracteres eles querem quando requisitam uma fonte e não estão equipadas para lidar com o retorno de uma fonte de 16 bits.

Re: Woody Killed PCMCIA
If you upgraded to woody, it should have downloaded the new pcmcia-modules package, so you shouldn't need to copy anything. You can check in /lib/modules/version (where version is the output of uname -r). There should be a pcmcia directory in there. /lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia/ has a bunch of modules, including the one I need 3c589_cs.o but 2.2.18 is the old kernel -- I upgraded to Woody which I imagine is 2.4.10 or something from Testing. Did the Woody upgrade not take completely? Doc I did the cardctl ident thing and edited /etc/pcmcia/config Doc card 3C589, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a, 02 Doc manfid: 0x0101 Doc function: 6 (network) If that is the output of cardctl ident, then I believe that the lines you want to add to /etc/pcmcia/config are (following the pattern of the other lines): card TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a version 3C589, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a, 02 manfid 0x0101 bind 3c589_cs The version and manfid lines may be optional, but they probably won't hurt.

One of my favorites is http://webtechniques.com, where Randall Schwartz contributes a monthly sample, explaining line-by-line what his code does, and why. (Look under Programming with Perl in the archives.) Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan? Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to apt-get install debian-only packages if possible. (Also check out the alien package if you must.) Why is TELNET considered spawn of Satan? Because every keystroke sent by you, is transmitted -- clear as a bell -- across the ether. Anyone can sniff your network packets and see what you're typing -- passwords, love letters, cold fusion blueprints... It's as secure as shouting from the rooftops. Everyone can see! How do you DISABLE A NETWORK SERVICE? There are several ways network services are made available: for inetd items, modify /etc/inetd.conf and then /etc/init.d/inetd restart. For independently-running daemons, try /etc/init.d/daemon stop (or to permanently zap them, apt-get --purge remove daemon). Dave Sherohman gets co-authorship on number nineteen: How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)? Try netstat -a | grep LISTEN. To see numeric values (instead of the common names for services using a particular port) then try netstat -na instead. For more info, look at man netstat. Also try lsof -i as root. man lsof for details. What TERMINAL TYPES are available for export TERM=xyz? Look in /etc/terminfo or /etc/termcap and pick one similar to your terminal emulator's capabilities. Common ones are linux (for console), xterm, vt102 and rxvt. See man terminfo or man termcap if you're determined to learn the nitty-gritty. Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the file /etc/network/interfaces (try man interfaces for more info). Then ifup -a to reload your settings, and ifconfig to display them. (Also check out apt-get install ipmasq!)

Re: debian hangs during boot (at fsck stage)
You might want to enter init=/bin/sh at the lilo prompt (assuming you have lilo) in order to skip the system initializations and check that partition manually with the file system debug/repair tools. This doesn't look to me a UDMA matter since other partitions on the same disk (hde) are flawless. What stuff was there? /usr? /var? I'm having trouble with my debian 2.2r3 (potato) box. For the past two weeks its been sitting happily on the network, doing things as expected, but now it hangs during boot. I was running samba, and a few times whilst copying lots of files from a win2000 machine to the debian box I encountered errors - the last time this happened, I got the message couldn't copy file, network name not found on my win2000 machine. Then it seemed my debian box had disapeared off the network (as far as ping, ssh, smb went). I tried pinging from other machines and they all couldn't contact my box. As my machine was now sitting in a cupboard with no monitor or keyboard, I elected to just power down and power-up again (bad idea). The machine wouldn't reappear on the network, so I lugged a monitor and keyboard to it - turns out its hanging during boot. It gets to fsck, where it says that one partition wasn't cleanly mounted, at which point it freezes and doesn't boot any further. Oh yes, before this point it does appear to do a check of some sort on a partition - the progress meter appears and goes up to 100% and disapears. I've put up a digital photo of the screen at the point the machine hangs at http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~lard/fsck.hang.jpg My system has done fsck partition integrity checks before without having any problems.

Or you could use bootable media such as the LNX-BBC (http//www.lnx-bbc.org/) to boot the system and proceed with a further installation. Remember that the key things you need to get configured are the base system, networking, and SSH. Once you've got this set up, you can proceed with the remainder of the installation. I was thinking of just setting up a base installation on a CD-ROM. I should be able to copy that over to the /dev/hda# partitions, run the HDDs lilo and reboot without the CD-ROM. Peace.

Your options are one of followings: 1) remove offending module by rm and use modutils 2) Wait for newer binutil in unstable and install it. You are using testing so expect some minor glich like this.

Re: RSH and SSH -- the same in Debian?

But i think there is no rsh in Debian. If i type man rsh i get the manpage of ssh. If i execute rsh i get ssh... Sounds like you want to install the rsh-client package. If you don't have that installed, ssh provides /usr/bin/rsh and its man page. (The setup is managed using alternatives.) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any RD idea what to do? For a start, look through the Debian Bug Tracking System (http://bugs.debian.org/); there's already a this doesn't work bug against tuxracer (#116367), but not zsnes. If it requires more than a simple recompile against newer packages to work, including a patch against the package source in your bug report can be helpful. Remember, it's called unstable for a reason; this sort of breakage tends to be fairly typical as developers shuffle packages around. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.

Certainly... wait for those packages to be rebuilt against the new libsdl1.2 or complain to the maintainer of them. File bugs. Personally I waited until the majority of the SDL-using apps that I care about had been rebuilt against libsdl1.2debian before I allowed it to upgrade. Oh, and you can add falconseye to that list.

Re: debian hangs during boot (at fsck stage)
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there some magic way of entering text at the lilo prompt? I've tried typing during the brief pause when it says LILO but no text appears and booting just continues after the pause. The default debian lilo configuration does not prompt. Add prompt and possbily timeout to your /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. See the lilo.conf man page for details. Acording to the lilo man page, it should be posibly to get a prompt by hitting shift at the proper moment. I've never done this. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html Text is a way we cheat time. -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
