According to the bug report gdm changed where it gets session types from in version 2.4.4.x. 2.4.4.7-1 was accepted into unstable on March 29. Before that, 2.4.1.7-1 was the version in unstable. So, this is probably the cause of your problem. Downgrading gdm to the version in testing (2.4.1.7-1) would probably fix this for you, without you having to reinstall anything.

The original (savannah.nongnu.org/projects/plex86) was an x86 virtual machine project that would emulate an x86 machine on a Linux x86 host - I say was, because it apperas to be almost dead. The fork (plex86.sourceforge.net) (by Kevin Lawton, the original author of both plex86 and Bochs) is a virtual machine that will run Linux on a Linux x86 host - not other operating systems which make use of corner cases. Bochs is an x86 virtual machine that will run on any host architecture, and on Linux, Windows, or MacOS. On Linux x86, it can supposedly make use of a plex86 kernel module to greatly speed things up. I'm not clear on which plex86 this kernel module comes from, and I also have heard mixed reports of it either not working, or working but not making a big speed difference. yapp, I saw that, too. I tried bochs recently, and if I remember correctly, bochs fails to start, if plex86 is not available --- allthough bochs _suggests_ plex86-kernel-src, not _depends on_. Nosing around on the bochs website, it seems to me that including plex86 is a relatively new feature. The installation of plex86-kernel-src is cream, including compiling, packaging and installing the kernel modules --- on 2.4 kernel, that is. Anyway, I did not get it to work on my 2.6.x kernel. So, yes these are different items, but no, bochs won't do without, it seems. Cheers, Erich Bochs runs just fine without plex86 - it used to panic if it didn't find it, but you can continue past this panic.

I just installed a fresh copy of Debian 3.0r1, and in order for my hardware to work, I need to upgrade the kernel to a 2.4.x version. I'm new to Debian, and I don't understand the package system, or installing the kernel the 'Debian Way' When people talk about installing a kernel the 'Debian Way,' they usually mean compiling your own kernel. Debian has its own method for doing that. If you are using an i386 compatible machine, there are precompiled kernels that will probably work just fine for you and be easier to start with. The computer I'm using does not have Internet access yet either. I can't get the NIC to work. Although I've been told that the newer kernel supports that card. SO, which files do I need to download(kernel image, package, etc) that I can put on a CD and copy to the Debian machine. Note: directions follow on where to get the 2.4 kernel image, but, it may already be on your installation cd. Check there first. Assuming you are using an x86 machine, go to http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and search for kernel-image-2.4.18-1. From the search results, choose the kernel iamge that corresponds to your processor if you know it (386, 586tsc, 686, k6, or k7), or kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 if you don't know your processor type. On the information page for that package, it will tell you that this kernel image depends on initrd-tools (= 0.1.21), fileutils (= 4.0), and modutils (= 2.3.12). There is also a Go To Download Page button. Go there to download the kernel image. If you need any of the three dependencies, you can follow the links to their package information pages, and download the .deb file from there. And then what do I do with those files? Now it is time to use dpkg. Mount the cd. Change to the directory which contains the .deb(s). Then do (as root) dpkg --install *.deb This will probably give you a warning about adding a line to your lilo.conf for the initrd. Add it in the image-/vmlinuz section like this: image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only initrd=/initrd.img And, run lilo.

Line out you should use this one with AMPLIFIED speakers! 2. Line in 3. Mic in Thanks. I should have thought to look in my MB docs. As I don't know much about how sound works in gnu/linux, it is possible I'm not testing it correctly. Additional info is that I am running KDE. There's no sound from it either, but I'm not sure how that might affect my ability to play sound from the command line. I figure I should get sound working from the command line before working on KDE. The one remaining variable that I hinted about above is that your MB doesn't use the same chipset as mine. I looked at the manual for your board posted at the Shuttle site and it says you have a VT8235 plus a RealTek ALC650 Codec ( a six channel AC97 style codec). Obviously your hardware is different from mine, so the above settings may NOT be the correct ones... The ALSA site says the snd-via82xx driver is ok... dunno. Could you forward the real results of lspci?? ;) I would be interested in what LINUX thinks you have Try firing up kde and see what happens. You won't hurt anything, and it might give you some clues from it's complaints... Cheers, -Don Spoon- Well, kmix did it for me. I now have sound in KDE and on the command line. The chipset numbering is a mystery to me still, though - the MB docs say VT8235 south bridge. But, here is lspci (for real): 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8374 P4X400 Host Controller/AGP Bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 PCI Bridge 00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 74) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] So, it seems to me that linux thinks the sound chip is a VT8233. I'm satisfied now that sound works, but I'll do any more probing you want

Sound is working OK with ALSA here. I believe I had it working at one time with the kernel's built-in OSS drivers too, but I can only help with the ALSA setup now. Tell me what you have done so far, and which kernel version you are using. The pre-compiled ALSA files only come compiled against a couple of the available kernels now. If you want to use ALSA, you first must get one of these kernels installed or compile your own version of ALSA against your kernel from the source. I would advise going the pre-compiled route. Cheers, -Don Spoon- Ok, before writing the above, I had installed the stock debian kernel-image-2.4.20-3-686, along with alsa-modules-2.4.20-3-686, alsa-base, alsa-headers, and alsa-utils.

Re: Downgrading all packages to woody versions
On Tuesday, February 25, 2003 11:45 am, David Gaudine wrote: I use woody, and I have a few packages that came from an early version of sid. For these packages, dselect always shows me that the installed version is the same as the available version. For example, my openssl and libssl packages show as installed version and available version 0.9.6d-1. (Woody has 0.9.6c-2, sid has 0.9.7a-1). I do know how to downgrade individual packages, and have already downgraded these two. However, how can I find and downgrade all other packages where the installed version has a higher version number than the one in woody but is actually older? Here's how the problem happened: When potato was stable I wanted to use woody so I specified unstable in sources.list. Then, when woody became stable, I changed sources.list to specify stable. The problem is, I made the change too late, so I picked up a some packages from sid. David you could create an /etc/apt/preferences file with the following entry: Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable Pin-Priority: 1001 Then do an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade (or your usual update method). This preferences file tells apt to give all packages of Debian origin (o=Debian) from the stable distribution (a=stable) a priority of 1001. From my understanding, the default priority is 500, but a priority 1000 is necessary to get apt to downgrade a package. This should downgrade any remaining unstable packages to stable. man apt_preferences for more info. Josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks for any input, Joris Huizer I assume you did an apt-get update apt-get upgrade to get this result. If so, it probably means that the packages that were kept back conflict with some other package on your system that would need to be removed to upgrade these. To see which one, do apt-get -s dist-upgrade the dist-upgrade will remove the necessary packages to satisfy the conflicts. the -s option makes apt-get pretend to do this, so you can see what package(s) will be removed. If you are ok without the packages it wants to remove, go ahead and do apt-get dist-upgrade. Josh Metzler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
