New installation: Volume Group not found
Hi! My disk died recently, so I bought a new one and installed stable on it (i.e Lenny :). Everything works fine, basically, but I get this message on boot: , | Volume group BlackPearl not found | Volume group BlackPearl not found | Enter passphrase to unlock the disk /dev/hda2 (hda2_crypt): ` and one of the last messages displayed when shutting down: Setting down LVM groups failed. Can't deactivate VolumeGroup BlackPearl... I found some Problems regardings this with gmane and google, but they all did not result after a new installation, but after some kind of data migration from one hd to another. Is it because of the mixed case Name? What did I do wrong? System boots fine, but I am a bit irritated ... tia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Do you know about DebianON?
Hi! There is a new release (hooray for lenny ;), and I am sure there will be several user doing a fresh install on their laptops. I would like to propose that you have a look at http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/ and consider contributing. ,[ Quote ] | DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on | some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware | is supported and owner would know how get the best out of that hardware. ` When I bought a new laptop, I wanted to be sure it would work with debian. I found a similar ubuntu page that suggested everything would work out fine with my first choice. Now, there is DebianON, and I think it would be great to have *lots* of notebooks listed there. If everything works out of the box, a very short page would be enough, just to let people know: Current stable will work for you! If you have some trouble, you can use this page as a reminder how you set things up, just in case your hd dies. And you can help others to remedy their problems. It won't take you long, but if you are to tech guy and want to give something back, this might be one way. Thanks for considering, I will not bother you any longer ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

D3 the chip in the firmware restart code?
Hi! Using my ipw2100 Wireless card, I have a problem, which seems to be a very old bug that is still not fixed. Error Message: [ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart.] Asking google, I found this message by Matthew Garrett: ,[Matthew Garrett MID: 20080921224210.ga24...@srcf.ucam.org] | Try D3ing the chip in the firmware restart code. Yes, it's retarded. ` Okay, I'd love to, but: what??? Nice to see there are still people working on this bug. Maybe I should just wait till this is fixed, but nevertheless I'd still like to know what D3 the chip means. Can anyone shed light on this one? thx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Ressources of the project or Where is Debian?
Hi! I am trying to collect different ressources that are usefull for *users* who want to stay up to date to whats happening within the project or consider participating. Debian is huge and stretches across mailinglist, wikis and irc. So far, I listed what _I_ think is usefull and/or interesting. Any additions or suggestions, either to the list or per pm, are well appreciated.

P.S. Do you intend to maintain this both in German and English? As English is still the main language of the project, I think most links will lead to english ressources. German localisation will be, I guess, just some additional links. btw.: If a basic working version is done, I intend to add it to debian-community.org, if it is accepted. So, as it is a wiki, anyone can further add to it at will. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Q:Does Emacs+gnus from testing work with gmail pop3 for you?!
Hi! I tried to set up emacs+gnus from testing to work with gmail. Alas, fetching via pop protocol does not work. Error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :stream ssl) error (stringp). Continue? (yes or no) I got the same error message like this user: Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does any user use gmail pop with gnus on debian testing? No Bug found in the BTS. Might this be a Debian specific Bug? I switched to a fetchmail solution, but this seems not the *proper* way. Thanks for reading...

xbindkeys alternative?
Hi I try to get xbindkeys working. Not successfully, as you may guess. It seems to me that xbindkeys always needs a modifer key pressed, i.e. shift, alt, control ... I want to be able to bind a command (xte, but thats a different problem:) to Mouse button (pressed) + key. No modifier involved. Does anyone know a program that can do this? thanks memnon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAI could see, they are all less capable than xbindkeys. They do not even support mouse interaction. I need [mouse button (pressed)] + [key]. Then, a program should be started.

A few lines of text flash on the screen, then it blacks out and the system buzzer gives me one short beep. I cannot alt-Fx to any other terminal and lose the terminal I'm working in, and have to restart with ctrl-alt-del. Sorry, can not help you with your original problem. But I wanted to suggest not using ctr-alt-del in such cases. Try using Magic SysRq: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key They suggest a different sequence than I use (alt+print+ s e i u b.
