SIGTERM received when installing Nvidia driver
Hello list, I've been running my testing box's graphics through the NVIDIA proprietary driver, downloaded from their website.

X gone
Hello list, I was having some trouble running openGL in my Debian testing, 2.6.32-5-686 kernel version system. I have an NVIDIA card and ran the driver provided by nvidia-kernel-dkms. The problem was that when I ran glxinfo, I got: glxinfo: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv06gl so I decided to google a bit, ending up on an arch linux distribution link which suggested that a certain filesystem folder be deleted: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12771. This folder was /usr/lib/tls. After I -apparently wrongfully- deleted it, my 2.6.32-5-686 kernel gets stuck during loading of the X server, and once I see or skip through the error messages, I don't even get a shell to do some typing to. Luckily, I had a 2.6.32-3-686 kernel in my system, which, unfortunately, doesn't load X either. This particular kernel version, does, however, give me a shell, yet I have tried lots of things, such as reinstalling the 5-686 kernel ( I don't want to mess around with the 3-686 image and end up with an unusable installation), re-installing the xserver-xorg package, even removing nvidia-kernel-dkms and trying to install one of three NVIDIA installers I already had in my home folder: 190.53, 195.36.08, 256.35). However, trying to run every one of those installer scripts tells me that I do not have the appropriate source files for the kernel that I'm running (which, I would like to remind you, is currently 2.6.32-3-686). I tried installing the appropriate linux-headers package, however, there seems to not exist a linux-headers-2.6.32-3-686 package. I also reinstalled linux-source-2.6.32 and linux-source-2.6, yet the NVIDIA installers will still not run. Installing nvidia-kernel-source doesn't help either. So I'm stuck with a kernel I can not even run a shell from, and another older one which doesn't appear to be of much help to me. Anything I could do? Currently posting from my laptop. When I run startx, I get a bunch of errors, such as: Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 190.53, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 195.36.31.

Remove a printer device URI
Hello,
I run Debian Squeeze and recently bought a new HP Deskjet printer. It
has installed just fine through hplip and the test page looks good. I
was just wondering whether it could be possible for me to get rid of
the URI instance of my previous Business Inkjet 1000 printer. If I run
hp-check then I get, among many other things:
--
| DISCOVERED USB DEVICES
--
Device URI Model
--
hp:/usb/Deskjet_D2600_series?serial=CN042FF17J05C9 HP Deskjet D2600
series
which is good, however I realize through running other hplip
extensions such as hp-levels:
-
| SELECT DEVICE |
-
Num Device URI CUPS
Printer(s)
--
---
0 hp:/usb/HP_Business_Inkjet_1000?serial=CN68E3Z01K
HP_Business_Inkjet_1000
1*hp:/usb/Deskjet_D2600_series?serial=CN042FF17J05C9
Deskjet_D2600
and by printing documents graphically that my previous instance has
not been removed from the CUPS database. Is there any way that I can
remove it? This isn't much of a problem of course, I just don't find
any reason for traces of a machine to be there since i've gotten rid
of it.
Please CC me as I am not on the list.
Thanks,
Jason

Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko' in 2.6.32-5-686 kernel
Hello list, I just installed the new 2.6.32-5-686 kernel and I've been having trouble installing the NVIDIA linux display driver. Usually this process required of me only to download the linux-headers for the relevant kernel release and then running the shell script provided by NVIDIA on their website. I tried doing this with the 190.53 driver, which is an old driver that worked perfectly for me, and the newest 256.35 driver provided by NVIDIA. In both cases, I get the ordinary message about the CC check that failed because the gcc version that was used to compile my kernel was not the same as the one used to compile the driver and I also see the compiling kernel module progress bar filling up to 100%. After this, I get the following message: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was build against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present apd prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by the NVIDIA LINUX graphics driver release. And after that I'm suggested to check some log files.

Συμφωνώ μαζί σου στο ότι δεν είναι και το βρίσκω ιδιαίτερα ενοχλητικό

Simple dual boot - grub issue
Hello list, I have had a laptop wearing Linux solely over the last few years and today I decided I'd install a Windows partition on it, with aim to dual boot. After preparing an NTFS partition by using the gparted live CD, I installed Windows 7 on the newly created partition. Thus, so far I have the primary partitions /dev/sda1, an ext3 partition holding my Squeeze installation, and /dev/sda2, holding my Windows installation. There's also the /dev/sda3 extended partition and the /dev/sda5 swap partition. Here's a gparted screenshot taken from within my debian installation to prove my claims: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1819/mypartitions.jpg When the installation was finished, I would only boot into Windows 7. Somewhat accustomed to this loss of the Grub boot loader, I booted from my Squeeze installation CD, entered Rescue Mode and reinstalled GRUB in the MBR of my only hard drive (that corresponds to the /dev/sda1 partition). However, even though I reclaimed Grub, Grub would not detect my Windows partition on bootup, and give me the options of boot into debian. I tried reinstalling GRUB on other partitions, but Windows was (and still is) unbootable on startup. I had a look at my grub.cfg and didn't see a menuentry corresponding to the windows partition, even after running update-grub. What are the steps that I need to follow in order to dual boot my system? The only OS I have currently access to through Grub is Debian (with the option of two kernels, but that's not really relevant).

Trouble setting environment variables
Hi, I've been trying to set my PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables so that they point to my JDK's bin and some Java source files respectively and this is what I've written in my .profile file: # PATH should also include the latest jdk bin directory PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/bin:$PATH # set the CLASSPATH variable to include anything I do with java CLASSPATH=/home/jason/code/java:$CLASSPATH Yet I don't seem to have much luck, since echoing both environment variables gives me the old value of PATH for PATH and nothing for CLASSPATH: ja...@debian:~$ echo $PATH /usr/lib/eclipse6.0/bin/i386_linux:/home/jason/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games ja...@debian:~$ echo $CLASSPATH ja...@debian:~$ This is strange, especially for PATH, because earlier in my .profile I've written: # set PATH so it includes the eclipse bin directory PATH=/usr/lib/eclipse6.0/bin/i386_linux:$PATH And if you notice the output produced by echo, this directory is well under the scope of PATH. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to export something? Thanks.

If you are using Squueze up-to-date I think gcc-4.3 should be fine. Andrea And, it worked! I feel stupid! Yay! Thanks Andrea.

What do you mean by 'the network card crashed'? 3. A google search like '$card linux' will likely show you if the card has drivers and works well with linux. Hi, 1. My motherboard is an MSI P965 Neo F and, as I didn't feel like opening my computer case and looking to find the exact model of the network adapter, I googled a bit and found the following here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130052 and the RTL8110SC LAN card offers unparalleled 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. So I'm guessing that's my network card. 2. I mean that I am unable to even view my router interface from both my Linux and Windows partition and when I ping its default gateway, I get 100% packet transfer failure. However, when I connect with the same Ethernet cable from my laptop, everything works fine. So there's no trouble from either the ISP or the router. (my ISP actually confirmed that they're not seeing any trouble with my connection from their end). 3. Agreed. I was just phoned by a friend who advised me to look for updated firmware/drivers for my network adapter before I go ahead and purchase a new one. Sounds like a wise plan, I'll try it and update this. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Has this card worked for you with Linux in the past? Or is this a fresh install? It's been working for me well for both Windows and Linux for a certain amount of months. Over the last few weeks I've been having trouble connecting to my router and have been seeing abnormal behavior from the Ethernet led on my router. Restarting my system was the only thing that would fix it. Do that last. Alas, I already did it, but even my Windows partition doesn't seem to see any ethernet interfaces.

Heads up for NVIDIA users
Hello, I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the latest posts so I thought I'd post it: The latest proprietary linux driver on the NVIDIA website (195.36.08, URL: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_195.36.08.html), which I understand covers many more GPUs than my GT220 causes X to not be able to detect any screens when installed on my Squeeze box. I was fortunate enough to have the 190.53 driver on my hard disk and I reinstalled that, or else I'd have to either wget a hard-to-flawlessly-copy URL or force myself to learn how to use mount (which wouldn't be a bad thing, in retrospect). Anyways, I'd recommend waiting for the next driver and I'm probably reporting this on their website.

KDE session dead
Hello list, After updating my debian squeeze box yesterday I'm having trouble logging into my KDE session. More specifically, after I choose KDE from the available sessions from kdm, the kde splash screen begins loading but then I get a white screen followed by a completely black screen, with which I can't interact, since it's all, like, black. The logged in music tune plays just fine though, which makes me feel there's something wrong with a KDE update as far as the desktop display's concerned. I had KDE effects turned on, if that's helping towards the right direction. Currently posting from a GNOME session. Anyboy with a problem similar to mine after recent upgrades? Anything I can do to revive my KDE session? Thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: debian-user-digest Digest V2010 #364
I have no idea on how kdeglobals is recreated, but the culprit may in whatever recreates it. That' s why, in my case moving away both .kde and .kde4 did work. Now, maybe moving only one of the 2 should have be sufficient, but I did not want to spend to much time on it. Thierry Apparently the newest updates have made it hard for me to run kde effects and I suspect that it is kde effects that crashed in the first place. I followed the advice that Thierry have and after deleting my .kde4 folder I was able to log into kde, but of course I had to set up the entire session again (gtk and qt co-ordination, layouts and switching, default apps, etc), which was rather tedious. However, I am unable to run kde effects the way I used to. When I try to enable them through system settings, first I see that the Compositing state area is grayed out and bearing the message compositing is disabled. Here's the relevant screenshot: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p190/Bulgarian_Toothpaste/?action=viewcurrent=nocompositing.png If I click on apply right there I'll get a message saying that compositing couldn't be activated and the entire GUI crashes, forcing me to either kill the X server or restart/power down with keyboard combinations. If, however, I play a smart one and choose xrender in the advanced tab, I'm able to start compositing. Numerous effects don't work, though, including desktop cube and wobbly windows (I get notifications from the kde windows manager that they could not be started). Now, I do realize that this is a debian and not an ubuntu list, yet I don't see why I shouldn't be frustrated when my functionality (cube) and aesthetics (wobbly) are suddenly broken.

Nvidia GT220 inquiry
Hello, I haven't upgraded my Testing partition in at least two weeks, in order to avoid any problems with the new linux kernel in a period of time that I needed a well-functioning computer for my exams. Right now I'm a bit more relaxed as far as my schedule goes so I was thinking of upgrading to the newest packages. I have heard, however, that in addition toi the kernel upgrade, there's been a rather buggy upgrade (stable-testing) of the Xorg Server. Can anybody tell me what am I to expect as far as X is concerned if I am to upgrade? I've downloaded the latest x86 Linux driver for my Nvidia GT220 gpu from here : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.53.html . Will a simple re-installation of the drivers after the kernel and Xorg upgrade suffice, or should Nvidia users refrain from upgrading at this point?

Mounting new hard disk in /dev/sdb
Hello, I recently installed a new SATA hard drive on my desktop system and I noticed that Squeeze had, by default, mounted it in /dev/sda. This means that recently, due to the popular GRUB failure that caused everybody (including myself) a lot of grief, my Debian disk rescue mode was installing the new GRUB on (hd0), which was, however, on the brand new disk (NTFS formatted), which does not hold and will not hold any operating systems. Thus, I was still seeing grub_printf_ as missing when I logged in. So I was just wondering whether there was any way that I could plug in my new hard drive and mount it on /dev/sdb, so that I can access it as (hd1) in GRUB notation, next time the boot loader fails (which, I have to say, has been reather frequent lately). Thanks, Jason
AAC audio encoding through faac in Squeeze
Hello list, Having added debian -multimedia to my /etc/apt/sources.list I experimented to see whether I had native support for most audio codecs and encoders. Running the popular audio format conversion program 'soundconverter' I realized I wasn't able to encode into AAC format, even though I had the 'faac' program installed within my system. I then googled a bit and installed another package from the relevant debian - multimedia page ( http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-alpha/package/faac.php) yet still I have no luck with AAC.

Flash/AVI/Skype sound issue in Squeeze
Hello list, I'm having trouble with my sound in a rather fresh Testing box on KDE. Before I lay down the situation, let me clarify that I have googled, rather extensively, in pursuit of a solution to my problem, yet I have not found a solution that solves my problem. So, instead of turning my system into a bundle of conflicting packages very possibly unrelated to my problem, I decided to post my inquiry here. Now to the presentation: My sound works well for system sounds and notifications, such as the music playing when logging into KDE and when emptying the trash. I can also listen to music through Amarok and have sound from games as well (namely, Tremulous). However, I do NOT have any sound from flash player (I have installed flashplugin-nonfree) in both Iceweasel and Konqueror or any sound from AVI videos (tested through vlc). I also get a Problem with Audio Playback when making calls through Skype, but I can live without Skype. Here is what the iceweaselrc file says about my /dev/dsp wrapper for iceweasel: ja...@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use ICEWEASEL_DSP=aoss I have tried setting it to all the other values that the iceweasel manpage says there are, yet still no luck.

I'd like to add that I've examined the terminal output after choosing my Debian partition from Grub and noted the string: Setting up ALSA... done. kmix is well set and configured, and so is alsamixergui. Might there be any solution to my problem? I believe this is all I can provide you with for now, please do not hesitate to ask for more information and I shall give it.

Re: Flash/AVI/Skype sound issue in Squeeze
Hi, I got a similar problem having a web cam with integrated microphone. Restarting the computer with the web cam unplugged would bring back the sound in iceweasel. Blacklisting snd_usb_audio in alsa-base-blacklist.conf did solve the problem, in a not too nice way, but it did what I wanted. Of course, I cannot use the microphone on the web cam now, but I really don't care for it. Hope it helps Thierry Hello Thierry, For reasons I have yet to explain my .avi and flash sound indeed worked once I unplugged my Logitech USB microphone and rebooted. Right now, what I need to do is blacklist it the same way you blacklisted the microphone component of your camera, because I also have a Windows partition in which the microphone is fully operational and needed, and I don't want to have to plug it in every time I log into Windows.

Ctrl Alt F11 gives me trouble
Hello, I run Testing with KDE and accidentally hit ctrl alt f11 instead of some kde effects combination. As a result of this, I was given a prompt I couldn't propery interact with, and then I hit cltr alt delete to restart my system. When I logged into my Debian partition, I realized that the system fonts had all been altered and made quite uglier and less readable and my system sounds aren't playing by default: I receive a notification from Phonon that my audio device isn't playing correctly and that it's falling back to pulseaudio. This is interesting, because I don't have pulseaudio in my system; I have removed it. When I rebooted, I was told that I needed to login to a root shell for maintenance and perforn an fsck. So I did, but the problem persists What do I do to regain my Debian partition's full functionality?

Flash player gives me no audio
Hello list, I have a fresh Squeeze installation on my main desktop and it was all running smooth, except for the fact that flash player wouldn't play any sounds for me through both Konqueror and Iceweasel. I'm using KDE. All other sounds were operating correctly, which means that I could hear notifications from the OS, music from Amarok, and sound from games. I was instructed to download the 'padevchooser' package which brought along pulseaudio as well, but this didn't solve my problem. Instead, I daresay that it added another: Whenever I log into my system, I receive the following notification (I scribbled down whatever I could within 5 seconds): Notification from Phonon, the KDE .. HDA Intel ALC883 Analog is not working correctly. Falling back to PulseAudio. After this, I need to unmute my system sounds from padevchooser's Volume Control, which is tiring and unnecessary.

Grub: error 15
Hello, I assume this has probably been mentioned before, with all the grub legacy discussion going on, but here's my situation anyways: I have Debian Testing installed on my hp paviliion dv6000 notebook and executed the command upgrade-from-grub-legacy. After that, when I rebooted my system, I receive the message GRUB Loading stage1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15 Is there anything I can do to save my system? Should I download a Squeeze image and use it as a live CD, would that help me in any way? Thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Debian καi mono
Καλησπέρα, Με συγχωρείτε για την απουσία μου από τη στιγμή που έγραψα στο thread αλλά ήμουν στην επαρχία και αδυνατούσα να ακολουθήσω τη λίστα από το κινητό, ήταν πολύ challenging ακόμα και για μένα. Θα ήθελα να ξεκαθαρίσω ότι καθαρά και μόνο από προδιάθεση ούτε εγώ θα ήθελα το συγκεκριμένο software να μπει στo repo του mono. Αυτό που διαπιστώνω όμως, είναι πως δυστυχώς, η προδιάθεση δε φτάνει. Αφ' ης στιγμής το mono είναι dfsg-free, δεν υπάρχει κάτι να το εμποδίσει να μπει (σύμφωνα με την αυστηρή οριοθέτηση του main repository). Ο λόγος για τον οποίο εγώ δε θα ήθελα να μπει δεν είναι γιατί θα το έκανα από έχθρα προς τη Microsoft και τους προγραμματιστές της, πολλοί άλλωστε συμφοιτητές μου γράφουν κώδικα για τη Microsoft και δεν τους κακολογώ (πάντα :P ) για αυτό, αλλά γιατί φοβάμαι μήπως η είσοδος του mono αποτελέσει προηγούμενο, εφαλτήριο αν θέλετε, για τη Microsoft ούτως ώστε να δημιουργήσει πελατολόγιο. Αν το σκεφτείτε όμως λίγο και αυτό, δεν είναι απαραίτητα κακό αυτό για μια εταιρεία. Δηλαδή μια εταιρεία δημιουργεί ένα λογισμικό open source, λαμβάνει feedback υπό μορφή bug reports / feature requests και χρησιμοποιεί το εν λόγω feedback για να εκμαιεύσει γνώση και για το εν λόγω open source λογισμικό αλλά και για το proprietary software το οποίο πουλάει. Κάπως έτσι δε δουλεύει το open source? Red Hat, anyone? Εν κατακλείδι, με την κατάσταση έτσι όπως είναι, σύμφωνα με την οποία ένα λογισμικό μπαίνει στο main repository με κριτήρια που έχουν να κάνουν όχι με το ποιός το γράφει αλλά με την αδειοδότησή του (και καλώς γίνεται έτσι), δεν υπάρχει κάτι να εμποδίσει το mono να μπει σε ένα debian σύστημα.

Kopete won't render BBCode
Hello, I'm running KDE version 4.2.4 and Kopete version 0.70.4. It seems that the app is unable to render any kind of BBCode. All the b, i c etc tags are in place. I used to solve the same problem in emesene via installation of a windows live - like plugin (probably non-free, I believe), yet there doesn't seem to be such a plugin in Kopete (perhaps for the better). Would anybody happen to know of any way to make Kopete render BBCode?

Correct sudoers file configuration
Hello, When I first installed squeeze on my system, and being oblivious as to the presence of any sudoers file in general, I asked a friend to help me with the setting up of the sudoers file. I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that the configuration applied might be flawed, since whenever I'm required to input my password by sudo (to download and install software, for instance), the password required is my account password, and not the sudo password. Here is my sudoers file: # Host alias specification # User alias specification # Cmnd alias specification # User privilege specification rootALL=(ALL) ALL jason ALL=(ALL) ALL # Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move # it further down) # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL I suspect that something may be wrong at line jason ALL=(ALL) ALL Anybody can help me with this? Thanks, Jason
Meaning of score when looking for package solutions
Hello, Being new to Debian and running Squeeze I'm curious as to what the Score is x line's supposed to mean when examining solutions to solve package dependences through aptitude. I noticed that the value of x may differ greatly from one solution to another. I appreciate any input, Jason
Re: Meaning of score when looking for package solutions
Daniel Burrows the maintainer of aptitude is a member of this list.
Perhaps he might find some time to respond. I did look into the same
question a while back. I believe what it comes down to is the lower the
score of the solution the better. Although I could be wrong about that.
I took just a minute to see if I could remember where exactly I read about
it. I'm fairly sure it was the aptitude user's manual written by Daniel.
http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/index.htmlhttp://algebraicthunk.net/%7Edburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/index.html
Hope this helps. And if you do find the answer, please come back and let
us all know.

Proper ncurses package
Greetings, To spice up a uni assignment I have the option to use the ncurses library. However, I'm not at all sure that anything related to it is installed in my Squeeze system, since the command 'man ncurses' brings up nothing (or, to be more precise, an error message). When I connect to my department's linux systems via ssh they appear to have the library installed since the relative manpage is working.
