Untrusted packages
I'm running Sid. I'm trying to install sun-java6-plugin, but aptitude is
giving me 'untrusted package' warnings:

So I'm not sure why I'm getting these warnings. What do I need to do to
correct these warnings?

Now the problem is that the function flush_unopkg_cache is empty since
its only instruction has been commented out and shells tend not to like
that. I should have realized that my somewhat vague instructions could
lead to this problem. Anyway, if unopkg does not work anymore for you
then you might as well comment out the entire script from line 2 to the
end and be done with it. (The only purpose of the pre-removal script
seems to be ensuring that unopkg is invoked correctly, but that horse
has left the barn already on your system.)

Aptitude issue
I'm having an issue with Aptitude that I'm not sure how to correct. I
was having an issue with OpenOffice so I decided the easiest way to
resolve the problem might be to completely remove it, then re-install
it. That is when the problem began. Aptitude hung trying to remove
openoffice.org-writer2latex. I ended up aborting the process and went on
about my business. Tonight I needed to install ksensors on the same
machine when the OpenOffice problem again reared its ugly head.

I'm guessing the answer to this would be no as I think it would corrupt
the dpkg database.
Thanks for any clues!

That indicates a problem with the pre-removal script of this package;
aptitude cannot do much about that.

The openoffice.org-writer2latex package is in a broken state on your
system (incomplete removal), therefore aptitude has to try to fix it
before it can perform actions on other packages.

It seems that the pre-removal script gets stuck while trying to
determine the full name of the writer2latex extension. You can try this
yourself:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg list --shared | grep latex
If that command comes up empty or if it hangs then you might have to
comment out every invocation of /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-writer2latex.prerm and run aptitude
install -f to get the broken package off your system.
Hey Florian. Unfortunately this did not work. The command unopkg did in
fact hang. I did comment out all of the occurrences of unopkg in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-writer2latex.prerm and ran 'aptitude
install -f' as you said. Here is the result:

OT - Video card opinions
I've been a long time user of Nvidia for my video cards. I'm doing some upgrades to my machine and am considering a pair of Radeon HD 4830s in crossfire mode. I'm stuck between that or sticking with Nvidia and going for a GeForce 9800GT. My understanding is the combination of the two Radeon's in crossfire will blow away the Nvidia performance wise. I'd like to know any opinions concerning this choice and also are there any configuration issues with the pair of Radeon cards in X.

My understanding is the combination of the two Radeon's in crossfire will blow away the Nvidia performance wise. Well, yes in 3d mode, when used for games (or GPGPU). For 2d stuff, I don't think there is much difference, and for basic 3d (such as compiz fusion), *any* Radeon 4xxx or GeForce 9xxx series will be more than enough. I'd like to know any opinions concerning this choice and also are there any configuration issues with the pair of Radeon cards in X. I actually have no idea what the crossfire situation on Linux is. For the Nvidia, you have the 2d FOSS driver or the 3d binary driver, and that will not change for some time. For ATI, you have working 2d from the FOSS RadeonHD driver, and 3d from the binary driver. However, 3d support is coming along quite well in RadeonHD, it might be ready in 6 months or so. These days, the binary ati driver is better than the binary nvidia driver. If I was going to get a fairly powerful video card right now, I would get an r500 series Radeon (Radeon 1xxx), and use the Radeon driver for 2d and 3d. If I was going to wait, I would wait till q3/q4 of this year and assess the driver situation for the Radeon 4xxx series. Cheers, Kelly Clowers Thanks Kelly Jeff.

I've had several beers dealing with this thing already. A few more sounds good. I'll try that Mark. Stranger things have happened. Thanks, Mike It was defiantly the brewskis that did the trick. Lenny is finally installed along with GRUB. In preparation to get the /boot/grub/device.map I could not mount the HD. I did an fdisk -l and didn't see anything abnormal. I started fdisk, and then I saw something different. I didn't document the exact message as I didn't know at the time that would be the cure. The message was something along the lines the drive could not be read as it did not have a valid partition table that fdisk recognized. I continued in fdisk and did 'o create a new empty DOS partition table', wrote the changes and exited fdisk. After this, I tried an amd64 netinst CD (previously I was using DVD #1). The installation went as you would expect, including GRUB. No issues at all. The only thing I can figure, is somehow the 'utility' partition that Dell had put on the HD made the HD partially inaccessible to the Debian Installer. Maybe it had some strange partition table, hidden or something. Again, I don't know for certain this was the case, but that is the only thing I did differently other than using the netinst which *shouldn't* have made any difference. Thanks to all for your help.

Have you tried to install another linux distributions? Is it imperative for you to stick with GRUB? Have you tried LILO? No, I've not tried another distro (yet). No, not necessary to stick with grub.

IF the installer would see your install DVD as (hd0) then the error would make sense. If I boot into the rescue mode and mount /dev/hda1 I can see files in /boot/grub. Including stage1.

Lenny + Dell PE 2970
I'm trying to install Lenny on a Dell Power Edge 2970 with little success. The problem I'm running into is installing grub. My .iso images check with md5sum correctly. With three different DVDs, I get the error: Unable to install grub in (hd0) Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed This is a fatal error. There is nothing in the install logs that really jumps out at me as to what could be the problem. I've tried continuing without loading grub and tried to install grub from the rescue mode. Same problem, I get a 'grub error 1'. This machine has three SATA drives. If I open a shell during the install, I can see /boot/grub/stage1. From what I can tell, it appears there is some sort of problem with reading the disks. Any thoughts or ideas as to what might be the issue would be appreciated.

Yahoo Messenger replacement?
I'd love to get my wife's machine off of M$ software. The only problem has been Yahoo Messenger. My wife is dependent on YM to talk with her family. My wife's family goes to the internet cafe to chat with her, so they don't have any control over what version of YM is being used. Not only do they chat, they use the webcam. Prior (a couple of years ago) I tried several Linux substitutes for YM, including Yahoo's own YM for Linux (which was the worst). Hopefully things have changed though and there's a good substitute available for Linux now. What is the best recommendation for a replacement for YM on Linux?

At least we know what the codec is now. As both your threads have been running for a while, perhaps we could go back, and get some basic details. Which machine do you have? Make/model. PC, or laptop. Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H. It is a desktop. Sound was working on your i686 install, and I presume that was Lenny, but when you installed x86_64/AMD64 version of Lenny, sound no longer worked. Was that a totally fresh install of the 64 bit version of Lenny? Yes, the 64 bit install was on bare metal as was the 32 bit install. Personally I'd go back to the i686 version of Lenny, where the sound was working. I've seen conflicting reports of the benefits of using a 64 bit OS. Only my opinion, and of course it's your choice. Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind. Although I would like to assist the developers to resolve this issue. The developer who is working on my bug report asked me to hang in there until the weekend when he has access to hardware to test with. Other than this issue, the 64 bit is working fine. Anyway. Back to the ALC885 codec. There are a bunch of model options for this codec with the 1.0.16 alsa driver, as below. I see the same model options for the 1.0.18a alsa driver, but bear in mind that the alsa developers are continually applying patches to the alsa driver, so maybe upgrading to the latest alsa driver is an option. The link for the latest is also below.

Doing more digging, I find I also have this [1] problem (problem #1).
I'm not sure if the two issues are related at all. I have tried
booting with iommu=soft, still no sound.
[1] http://marc.info/?l=debian-userm=122797497510015w=2
I may be getting closer to the solution. I did get sound out of the
machine a few minutes ago. I found this entry in /var/log/messages when
the sound was working:
Jan 11 02:04:28 moe kernel: [ 6431.540366] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:06:39 moe kernel: [ 6578.403702] hda-intel: Invalid position
buffer, using LPIB read method instead.
After a reboot and trying to use the sound, I see these messages in
/var/log/messages:
Jan 11 02:16:20 moe kernel: [ 354.828388] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:16:20 moe kernel: [ 354.858407] ACPI: PCI interrupt for

Jan 11 02:16:29 moe kernel: [ 364.409661] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:16:29 moe kernel: [ 364.437812] ACPI: PCI interrupt for

Jan 11 02:17:12 moe kernel: [ 410.171457] ACPI: PCI Interrupt

Jan 11 02:17:12 moe kernel: [ 410.203559] ACPI: PCI interrupt for
device :00:14.2 disabled
So it would seem that my sound is not getting (for some strange reason)
an interrupt because it is disabled. Note, nothing was changed in the
BIOS during this reboot.
Thanks for any clues,
Mike
As a followup, I have apparently resolved the memory issue by adding
iommu=soft as a kernel boot parameter.
I have tried pci=noacpi as a kernel boot parameter.
Neither of these boot parameters, or any combination of them resolved
the original sound issue. I have filed a bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511658
Thanks,
Mike

[1] http://marc.info/?l=debian-userm=122797497510015w=2
I may be getting closer to the solution. I did get sound out of the
machine a few minutes ago. I found this entry in /var/log/messages
when the sound was working:
Jan 11 02:04:28 moe kernel: [ 6431.540366] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:06:39 moe kernel: [ 6578.403702] hda-intel: Invalid position
buffer, using LPIB read method instead.
After a reboot and trying to use the sound, I see these messages in
/var/log/messages:
Jan 11 02:16:20 moe kernel: [ 354.828388] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:16:20 moe kernel: [ 354.858407] ACPI: PCI interrupt for
device :00:14.2 disabled
Jan 11 02:16:29 moe kernel: [ 364.409661] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
:00:14.2[A] - GSI 16 (level, low) - IRQ 16
Jan 11 02:16:29 moe kernel: [ 364.437812] ACPI: PCI interrupt for

Jan 11 02:17:12 moe kernel: [ 410.171457] ACPI: PCI Interrupt

Jan 11 02:17:12 moe kernel: [ 410.203559] ACPI: PCI interrupt for
device :00:14.2 disabled
So it would seem that my sound is not getting (for some strange
reason) an interrupt because it is disabled. Note, nothing was changed
in the BIOS during this reboot.
Thanks for any clues,
Mike
I had a recent update knacker my sound but in a different way.
You want to read the bit on snd-hda-intel in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt
try to identify your card and put a line a bit like this in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig position_fix=1
I don't know how much tweaking the Debian team do to ALSA but I've found
the wiki a good place for help, particularly in getting digital output
going
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Main_Page
Good luck, keep us posted.
Thanks Bob. Yes, I'm aware of the ALSA-Configuration.txt and have tried
several possibilities. I've also read quite a bit on the Alsa site.
Something I'm missing somewhere though. Sound is still eluding me.
Thanks,
Mike
