Have a look at the following: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html I have had this issue in the past, although I can't remember what /i did to fix it.

If I understand you correctly, you want all automatically removed
packages to get purged instead. I have the following in my
~/.aptitude/config to do just that:
Aptitude "";
Aptitude::Purge-Unused "true";

Installing experimental xorg to get smooth image scaling in iceweasel
Hi! I'm a long time debian user who recently bought a laptop with a 15.4" wuxga screen (1920x1200 resolution). The high resolution makes it necessary to zoom many webpages, and consequently I suffer a lot from the poor image scaling in iceweasel. But I read in this blogpost http://blog.vlad1.com/2008/03/18/a-little-more-cairo-just-for-you/ that smooth image scaling is coming to gnu/linux, and that it might be in the next xorg release (according to the blog post, it's already enabled in firefox, but depends on xorg to do the scaling). This is why I want to install xorg from experimental. And now begins my trouble. I'm using the amd64 port of lenny, and no matter how I try, there is a conflict with xserver-xorg-video-2 and xserver-xorg-core. Apparently, xserver-xorg-video-2 is needed by nvidia-glx, although I can't find it listed among the dependencies. I have the same trouble with xserver-xorg-input-2, which is needed by some other crucial package. If I do --force-conflicts to get nvidia-glx, I can start X, but I can't type nor move the mouse cursor, despite xserver-xorg-input-kbd and xserver-xorg-input-mouse being installed. Has anyone managed to install xorg 7.4 from experimental on amd64, and if so -- how did you do it? Please help! /hcm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

udev and partitioning
Hi all, I just setup a machine with an ide disk for / and two sata disks I intend to mirror for storage. There were two partitions on the sata disks I wiped out to turn into one big linux raid autodetect partition. With /dev/sda, the processes worked just fine. I cfdisk'ed the drive and it's device node showed /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. The second disk I partitioned and udev never updated and continued to show /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb2. I tried echo'ing "- - -" into the proc scsci scan file to try to get the change to kick. dmesg showed that the kernel saw sdb correctly, but udev never updated. I even ran udevmonitor and did the echo rescan thing, but udev never even got the hotplug notification. I've since rebooted the box and all was well, so I built my mirror. But I'm a bit nervous that I had to reboot. If I loose a drive, will I have to reboot to get hotplug to work then too? Should I have had to rebooted to get the partition table rescanned? Is there a way to force udev to start over and rescan everything? Is there a reason why the kernel saw /dev/sdb1, but udev did not manage the nodes properly?

Accessing mesa's OpenGL 2.1 features
I'm on a fairly fresh and up-to-date Debian/Lenny install on a Thinkpad X40. If I run some OpenGL code in an "OSMesa" context, glGetString(GL_VERSION) returns "2.1 Mesa 7.0.4", and glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) shows various "shader" extensions, and "offscreen mesa" will run my GLSL code and render it correctly into a memory buffer. Fantastic! If I try and run the same code in a GLUT-created context, GL_VERSION gives "1.3 Mesa 7.0.4" and I don't see any shader extensions and calling e.g glCreateShader fails, having triggered a "Mesa 7.0.4 implementation error: User called no-op dispatch function (an unsupported extension function?)" message. I get the same sort of problem running the code in a Qt QGLWidget. How can I get mesa to provide it's nifty OpenGL 2.0+ features for stuff rendering to the screen ? Or is there some missing bit of GLX-mesa plumbing which means it's not possible (yet) ? Thanks for any help Tim For what it's worth, "apt-show-versions -r -p mesa" gives: libgl1-mesa-dev/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libgl1-mesa-dri/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libgl1-mesa-glx/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libglu1-mesa/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libglu1-mesa-dev/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libosmesa6/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 libosmesa6-dev/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 mesa-common-dev/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 mesa-utils/lenny uptodate 7.0.3-5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Say package foo has a security issue and upstream is at 1.4 and Debian still has 1.3. Upstream will most likely release 1.4.1 to fix the issue (which could be just a few lines of code) and maybe some others small bugfixes that were pending. Debian instead will look for the exact change for the security fix and apply it to the 1.3 version. In most cases it will not even need adaptation for 1.3 so they can just apply the specific patch. However, they will ignore whatever *other* changes have happened between 1.3 and 1.4 and also between 1.4 and 1.4.1.

A good example is an antivirus software and its definition files. Even if you upgrade the definitions you also have to upgrade the software itself in order for it to detect new viruses.

The system had set itself up to use the DRI i915 drivers for the onscreen OpenGL, but doing aptitude install libgl1-mesa-swx11 libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dri- (and restarting) swaps to use software mesa rendering for X11 OpenGL apps and they can get at all the yummy 2.0 goodness (GLSL etc). It's not exactly fast, but it is convenient to be able to do OpenGL 2.0 development on an old lappy. I hadn't actually appreciated mesa included any HW support at all until now.

AFAIK that script uses "alsactl {store|restore}" which works only for
root. Use amixer instead.

Won't work: telnet-ssl is being purged by the greedy dependency
resolver (telnet conflicts with it), not because it's unused.

[snip] Aptitude tries to remove automatically installed packages. If you manually install them, aptitude won't try to do this. It's not a bug. It is interesting that "install a b" doesn't flag "b" as manual. The command-line parsing logic is hairy and tries to "do the right thing" in various cases, but this one seems to be falling through the cracks (due to when aptitude calculates unused removals). Problem is, I'd have to be careful adding code to handle this situation: the command-line is one of the few parts of aptitude that's not very well specified, and so I'm not sure exactly what would happen if I tried various hacks to do what you (quite reasonably) expect here. I don't see any obvious problems, but it's entirely possible that some other use case would be affected. Daniel Daniel I don't know whether you saw my earlier message http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/08/msg02156.html but the OP has testing and unstable in his sources list and is doing #aptitude install -t unstable a so wouldn't this remove any testing packages that conflict with a or any of its dependencies? #aptitude install -t unstable b will then install the new package from unstable as its supposed to.

Yes, but that's not why they were being removed; his example quite clearly showed that they were removed because they were unused (the "u" flag after each one says that). He also said that the packages being removed could be installed afterwards, which wouldn't be the case if they were not installable.

Debian 4.0 on VMware Player 2.0.5 on WinXP Pro SP3 keybounce, network, clock issues
debian-user: VMware doesn't seem to offer publicly visible support, so I'm posting here. I am running VMware Player 2.0.5: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ on Windows XP Pro SP3 with a Debian 4.0 client: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/808 I ran into keybounce, network, and clock issues: 1. When I would touch type into the virtual machine console (~50 wpm), keystrokes would get repeated -- sometimes dozens of times. When I slow down and type exactly one key at a time (hunt and peck), the keybounce problem goes away. I have found no explanation or solution to this issue, other than setting up sshd in the virtual machine and avoiding the virtual console entirely. 2. The eth0 network interface would not come up reliably at boot -- ~50% of the time it would work. I use bridged mode and DHCP on my LAN. My work-around was call ifdown/ ifup in /etc/rc.local: ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 YMMV. 3. The clock ran fast -- Debian would sometimes gain an hour or more per hour of real time. I am currently trying the work-around recommended here: http://kamilkisiel.blogspot.com/2008/01/vmware-linux-guest-clock.html by telling VMware to sync the clock by adding a line to the *.vmx file (debian-40r0-i386-netinst.vmx): tools.syncTime = true I also installed ntpdate in Debian and added a line to rc.local to set the clock on boot (it's usually off 5-15 minutes): ntpdate 0.debian.pool.ntp.org I've beat my head against these issues and various other solutions in the past: 4. One work-around for FreeBSD clients was to change a kernel setting for the interrupt timer from 1,000 interrupts/second to 100 interrupts/second. I believe it helped, but don't know if/how to do that on Debian. 5. Running ntp inside Debian kinda sorta helped #3, but the above URL cautions against that. The exact same issues were present with VMware Player 2.0.4. I ran VMware Server 1.0.4 in the past, and seem to recall similar issues. Is anyone else running a Debian virtual machines under VMware products? Have you run into similar issues? How did you address them? Have you found VMware products that don't have these issues? Are there other virtualization technologies or products that work better? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the other hand I'd prefer to get it working globally (not to add a script on each user's account). If you're using IceWm or KDE, you can put the appropriate commands into ~/.icewm/startup or ~/.kde/Autostart/. Gnome has a sessions system that might let you specify a startup script; for scripts that quickly configure something then exit, this is tricky, but you can try going into "Settings-> Sessions" (from memory). The dialog may or may not allow you to add your script to the session. Other options are ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc; however, the commands would then execute at either each login or each new subshell creation event. It's possible to write the code so that the script that sets the volume only executes once per login or session or day. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I tried doing that a while back and I had issues, but there was also list trouble at the time, so I don't know if it was a misconfiguration, the blocked port, or external misconfiguration that was the problem. Rather than mess around with my settings before having answers, I want to find some things out in advance this time. Oh yes, I'm using dynamic DNS, and at that time I had and SPF TXT record on the name server. Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.

I feel I'm starting to understand much better how Debian packages are maintained, and when I should consider backports or non-"stable" packages (i.e. only as a last resort, if the needed functionality isn't available in stable).
