dmesg: ohci1394: fw-host0: Set PHY... ???

2005-05-31 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi List,

I'm not an expert.

Does anyone know, what this lines mean:

ohci1394: fw-host0: Runaway loop while stopping context: ...
...
ohci1394: fw-host0: Set PHY Reg timeout [0x/0x4000/100]
...

I find them repeated a lot of times in my dmesg.

Is that normal or I'm missing something?

Thanks,
Alberto

Re: kernel compilation buggy?

2005-05-24 Thread Alberto Bert
Got it!

I update the system and it upgraded initrd-tools, plus I updated the
kernel-2.6.11 also. Then I copyed the new default config from /boot and
I'm now running it.

So, I suppose initrd-tools was buggy...


thanks anyway,
bye
Alberto

It's the kernel-source. Today I see there's an update to the
initrd-tools, I'm now recompiling after the installation.
I'll let you know.

The debian kernel 2.6.11-686 works, so I supposed the .config file
should be ok...  Am I wrong?

It's not the first time I compile the kernel in the debian way. I always
used a custom kernel...

kernel compilation buggy?

2005-05-23 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I just tryed to compile the 2.6.22 kernel with make-kpkg and the default
config file.

I doesn't boot giving endless loop with and error apparently related
to proc and init. I cannot be more precise cause I don't know where to find back
what it was on the console...

Is that a known problem of this moment?

Do you think 2.6.10 should be more stable?

bluetooth how to?

2005-05-23 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I'm trying to make working the bluetooth of my laptop.

I read some documentation, and it seems simple...

- I'm running sid, kernel 2.6.11-686. In that kernel the default config
options seems to be ok for the bluetooth.

- I installed bluez-utils, bluez-hcidump, bluez-firmware

- The modules are running: rfcomm, l2cap, bluetooth

but:

when I try to run hciconfig it does nothing.

Did I missed something? I see there's a patch package, do I need to
install it?


Thanks,
Alberto

howto: printer on another computer

2005-05-20 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I'm running cups and it configured perfectly the network printers I have
around. But there's a printer plugged to another computer running redhat
and I don't know how to make it working. I tried to add it as the other
printers, but it simple doesn't print anything.

I've never done it before... maybe you have to do something special in
setting the address or so...

any suggestion? specific documents to read?

upgrading to unstable

Hi,

after reading the FAQ at:

I'm upgrading from sarge to unstable...

I'm pretty scared, so it would be nice to have some help from the

In doing it I'm using aptitude. I just saied it to U all the Upgrade
packages, then I'm upgrading (it's downloading...)

Is there anything else I should do?

is apt-build using my options?

2005-05-19 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I'm trying to rebuild gsl with some optimizations for my machine:

$ cat /etc/apt/apt-build.conf
build-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/build
repository-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/repository
Olevel = -O2
mcpu = -mcpu=pentium4
options = " -march=pentium4 -msse2 -malign-double -mfpmath=sse
-m128bit-long-double"
make_options = " "

It's the first time I try to use it, and I cannot see my options in the 
messages of the
building process. Is it normal?

for example:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -O2 -D_REENTRANT -c cspline.c
-fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/cspline.lo

I'm running sarge, but I would like to keep using the testing distribution,
also after the release. Do you think there will be any kind of

should I just upgrade my system and everything should work, or there are
some important changes I have to deal with?

sorry if the question was stupid.

Great, that's what I was looking for.

To answer to all the kind people who helped:

I don't use gnome or kde, but windowmaker, so I don't have nautilus
or k-something.
I tryed gftp and it works well, but I prefer the text interface of
mc, because very often I run the program on a remote machine.

What about that tux commander?

thanks to all,
Alberto

problem with cdrom

troubles with the cdrom.

I've got a sym. link /cdrom to /media/cdrom, which is itself a link to
/media/cdrom0, which doesn't exist (!)

here is the fstab:

/dev/hdb/media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0

I made /media/cdrom0, but I cannot mount it:

# mount /media/cdrom0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
   or too many mounted file systems

I don't know what to do now... any hint?

I'm running 2.6.8-1-686 without recompiling, I got the one in testing.

I don;t know what are you talking about :-( If you mean in the kernel
compilation, I didn;t do it, I'm just running the image I found in the
distribution.
Most of the hw is running, I still have troubles with the cdrom and the
usb floppy. But the cdrom is more important...

network & laptop

2004-11-26 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all

I'm running Debian testing on a laptop, and I'm always moving with my
computer in different laboratories, with different networks.

In order to manage the net configuration I'm now using quickswitch,
which is not bad, but it's not a Debian package :-(

Is there a way to have the same functionality by using a package?
It would be nice to be able to choose the netwokr configuration 
(avalilable printers, programs to run, etc.) at boot time, also.


Thanks,
cheers,
Alberto
