SCIM not working after upgrade
Hi, Presently running debian testing. The latest xserver-xorg-core update did cause certain problems with my nvidia card. I could find a solution for starting X with the new nvidia binary driver (275.28). Strangely (or maybe not), scim has stopped working. I cannot change to a different language. Tried im-switch to reset the default. No change. Clicking on the keyboard icon, does not bring up the language list as it used to earlier. Right clicking brings up the menu, though. An identical setup on my laptop with intel graphics has no isses with the new xserver-xorg-core and scim. Any pointers to get the scim working again?

Scim and iceweasel
I am currently running debian (amd64) testing with some packages from sid. It is stable for my work purposes. I frequently have to input indic characters and scim is my preferred input method. I have set the input method to scim using im-switch. I can only use it in gnome-terminal that too by right-click-Input Methods-scim. This does not work in OpenOffice or Iceweasel.

X performance issues
Hi, I am running a mixture of testing and unstable on my Dell laptop. I even have some apps from experimental. So far, everything was working fine. Today's upgrade+update pulled in the new xserver-xorg-core from unstable and I am seeing a massive performance problem in X. Windows do not get refreshed properly and the system crawls. A quick glance at top shows X using up 98% of CPU at times. I tried downgrading and also tried pulling in the intel driver from experimental. Nothing helps. I even edited xorg.conf to enable uxa acceleration; same result.

Following up on my earlier mail, I did some digging. As mentioned
earlier checkgmail works on the amd64 system. So, mounted that partition
under /mnt and tried diff. Here are the results :

Further, I just created a simple perl file with the following lines :

But, after I rebooted the machine, most of the apps refuse to run : gnome-terminal, liferea, iceweasel, etc. Ran im-switch and set the method to none. Now, at least, I can run programs.

Cannot install cupsys
Currently am running debian sid. While installing cupsys, apt-get complains of not finding the files ipp and lpd in /usr/lib/cups/backend-available. The previous version of cupsys had these files while the present one does not contain it. Is this a bug? or by design? How to get the ipp and lpd files?

Did not try it with other drivers yet, but I don't think that should have any impact on it - it fails with _anything_ just running wine is enough to bring that down. I had this same problem last month. Sometimes, when xorg is upgraded, the binary nvidia drivers need to be reinstalled to get opengl rendering to work (wine runs direct draw or something that using opengl). If this is the case, running glxgears will also crash your xserver. The solution is to reinstall the binary nvidia drivers. May not be necessary. This usually happens when the library is not correct. The package xserver-xorg-core has libglx.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions. The nvidia binary driver also puts its own version of libglx.so.100.x there. The install script of xserver-xorg-core removes this lib during an upgrade. So, if xserver-xorg-core is updated, you can be sure that libglx.so is bound to be replaced. Just symlink it back to the one provided by nvidia binary and restart X. There is no need to reinstall the nvidia binary driver.

Nspluginwrapper on AMD64
Hello, I am trying to run debian-amd64 sid on my new system and so far am very happy with the relative ease of the installation process (thank you developers). I tried to install the flashplayer-mozilla|flashplayer-nonfree. Both failed with the same message : nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so I found the bug reported on bugs.debian.org and the comment of the maintainer that this is probably due to a bug in chroot package/environment. AFAICT, I do not have any chroot installs other than that demanded by nspluginwrapper. The contents of the files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d are : libc.conf : # libc default configuration /usr/local/lib x86_64-linux-gnu.conf : # Multiarch support /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu Rerunning ldconfig, did not solve the problem. But, what surprises me is this fact: nspluginwrapper depends on linux32, but it is not installed. Trying to install linux32, apt wants to remove util-linux. I am pasting the session below : #: apt-cache policy linux32 linux32: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1-3 Version table: 1-3 0 500 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages #: apt-get install nspluginwrapper Reading package lists...

Hello all, since yesterday evening, firefox is crashing when I log on to the gmail account. This happens across all accounts on my box. I get the following message on the console after it crashes: The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
