Bug#487225: xserver-xorg-core will not upgrade and breaks existing X
Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.4.1~git20080517-1 Severity: important Xorg stopped working after a recent dist-upgrade of Lenny (Testing). The problem was that the package xserver-xorg-core would not install. dpkg was unable to create `./usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so'. I found yhat two files in xserver-xorg-core had been diverted by nvidia-glx by using these commands and checking the error messages: , | # aptitude install xserver-xorg-core | | # /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --list /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so | diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so to | /usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core by nvidia-glx | | # aptitude show nvidia-glx | Unable to find an archive lenny for the package nvidia-glx | Package: nvidia-glx | State: not a real package ` The diverted files were /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so. I removed them with dpkg-divert --remove and upgraded xserver-xorg-core successfully. My X Window System is restored! nvidia-glx non-free (NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver) exists in Sarge and Etch, (NVIDIA binary Xorg driver) in Sid, but not in Lenny. I don't know how whether it has been in Lenny at any stage. My Lenny was originally an upgrade from Etch so perhaps it was remembered it from there?

Bug#476672: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: alsa snd-cs46xx module missing (all linux-image packages)
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-5
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Alsa sound stopped working on my Thinkpad T20 after upgrading from Etch
(2.6.18-5-686) to Lenny Testing (2.6.24-1-686). None of the 2.6.24 stock kernel
packages include the snd-cs46xx kernel module for the Cirrus Logic sound card.
I built the driver from the alsa-base package using module-assistant and
installed the resulting snd-cs46xx module. It works fine. Is possible to include
snd-cs46xx.ko in the linux-image packages so that sound works out of the box
once more?
Thanks,
Chris.

Bug#336974: Debian newbiedoc orphaned package
Newbiedoc itself has received activity on the upstream website (now http://newbiedoc.berlios.de). I have been a member of the NewbieDOC project since 2002. I am currently managing the project and maintaining the website. The newbiedoc Debian package, based on the website content, used to be maintained by Romain Lerallut, but he has been inactive in the NewbieDOC project for some time. I would be interested in taking over newbiedoc now that it has become an orphaned package. I am not a Debian Developer. It may be that Romain would be willing to sponsor me, but I know that his academic studies have been a prority recently. Please let me know if that would be helpful. -- Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#432678: alsa-utils: alsaconf kills OSS applications
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.13-2
Severity: normal
Running alsaconf (eg to configure a sound card) causes OSS apps (eg
XMMS, Audacity, etc) to stop working in Etch (Stable). The error
messages are:
Audacity: There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer
RealPlayer 10: Cannot open the audio device. Another application
may be using it.
XMMS: Couldn't open audio. Please check that: Your sound card is configured
properly. You have the correct output plugin selected. No other program
is blocking the soundcard.
The cause is that alsaconf unloads modules including snd_pcm_oss. This
destroys /dev/pcm. When alsaconf reloads the modules, it fails to reload
snd_pcm_oss and /dev/pcm is not recreated.
The reason for alsaconf's bad behaviour is a combination of its use of
the obsolete update-modules command and the existence of the file
/etc/modprobe.conf (perhaps left over from an upgrade or created by
another application).
According to the update-modules man page, the existence of
/etc/modprobe.conf will cause /etc/modprobe.d/ to be ignored by Debian
packages which store their configuration files there. It also says
that no package [should] try to use [update-modules] anymore.
Because of this behaviour of update-modules, alsaconf seems to be
ignoring a configuration file which tells it to load snd-pcm-oss.
The configuration file is probably /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
which contains this line:
install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm {
/sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-pcm-oss ; : ; }
I moved /etc/modprobe.conf out of the way and everything now works
properly. There have been several threads on the Debian-User list
recently which suggest that other people are experiencing a similar
problem.
I don't know whether Testing and Unstable are also affected but, if
their version of alsaconf still uses update-modules and
/etc/modprobe.conf exists, I think they quite likely will be.

I would not want to do this because of the built-in file selector which allows transfer of files to and from the PC as user root. Not exactly good security! The problem seems to be in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/libnjb.rules (from the package libnjb5). All the permissions are set at 0660. Is this because of Debian policy? Changing all permissions to 0770 and running /etc/init.d/udev restart seems to fix the problem.

Bug#399051: rt2500-source: rt2500 cannot establish link in later version
Aurelien Jarno wrote: Debian BTS a écrit : My Edimax EW-7108pcg PCMCIA wifi card (rt2500 driver) works perfectly in my constantly upgraded version of Etch (Testing). I installed the rt2500 driver some weeks ago. The same driver, built in the same way (with Module Assistant), will not work in a fresh install of Etch in a new partition on the same machine (Thinkpad T20). In both cases I built the rt2500 module from the rt2500-source package using module assistant. The resulting modules package is the same on each system: rt2500-modules-2.6.17-2-686 version 1.1.0+cvs20060620-3+2.6.17-9 The probelm seems to lie in the file /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat. The older working install contains the line 'AuthMode=OPEN', but this is 'AuthMode=SHARED' in the broken fresh install. I can get the card to work either by modifying /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat with a text editor (setting AuthMode to OPEN), or by adding these lines to /etc/network/interfaces: Where does this file come from? It is installed by the rt2500 package if you want to manage the wireless card using the X interface. If you want to manage the wireless card with iwconfig, you don't need this file. It is not provided by the rt2500-modules-... package but by the rt2500 package. I guess you have installed it and then removed it without purging it. Could you please send me the output of dpkg -l rt2500 ? Bye, Aurelien Thanks Aurelien. The output of dpkg -l rt2500 is pn rt2500none(no description available) Does this mean that I have installed rt2500 at some stage and then purged it? I don't remember doing so, but it could be so. I am happy to delete the partition and reinstall Etch from scratch if that would settle the issue. -- Chris.
Bug#386244: tasksel 'Desktop environment' task hangs
Joey Hess wrote: Chris Lale wrote: The install is in two halves. No, etch has not had a two-stage install since early this year. Sorry, you are right. The CD is removed and the system rebooted after tasksel is finished and grub is installed. I have begun a new install to refresh my memory. I am using the netinstall CD and my home ADSL modem/router to access a remote mirror. While the installer is running tasksel, an installation step fails: Configuring gnome-applets An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software but I think this is just package dependency problems and nothing to do with tasksel. I had a similar error during the original install and could not complete installation of the 'Desktop environment' although I had a functioning commandline after reboot. That is why there was no CD in the drive when I re-ran tasksel manually ie I completed the installation despite the 'Desktop environment' task failure, removed the CD, rebooted, logged in as root at the commandline and ran tasksel. Tasksel hung because there was no CD in the drive. The /etc/apt/sources.list file created during installation still contains a line for the CD source. Aptitude and Synaptic are happy to download and install packages without the d-i netinstall CD in the drive, but tasksel is not. I must manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list in order for tasksel to work. Perhaps other people will get caught out if they try to run tasksel after a netinstall - unless the installer comments out the CD source at the end of installation?

I've identified a case that can make it hang, if apt wants something from the CD and it's not in the drive. Yes, you are right - there was no CD in the drive. I'm unsure how this would happen when the installer is running. It could happen if you managed to eject the CD in the midst of the install, that's all I can think of. The install is in two halves. At the end of the first half you are prompted to remove the CD. The system then reboots from the hard disc. So, the second half of the install proceeds without a CD in the drive. I think this accounts for the problem. There is no message about re-inserting the CD as far as I can remember. I don't recall this happening with previous installers. Why can't the installer just comment out both the CD source lines in /etc/apt/source.list? Surely the CD is no longer needed once the remote mirror is added? -- Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you possibly trying to use tasksel to install from a full CD? No, I downloaded the netinst CD image i386 Beta-3. To try to debug your problem, I'll probably need at least three things: 1. The last thing that appears on the screen before the hang. 2. 'ps fax' output of the system when tasksel is apparently hung 3. Full output of tasksel run with the environment variable DEBCONF_DEBUG=. exported. This can be obtained as follows: DEBCONF_DEBUG=. tasksel 2log 1.

Bug#386244: tasksel 'Desktop environment' task hangs
Package: tasksel Version: 2.53 Severity: normal Selecting 'Desktop environment' (in Etch Testing) causes tasksel to hang. (There is a flashing cursor at the bottom left-hand corner of the console.) If 'Desktop environment' is selected from within the Etch beta-3 Debian-installer, the installation fails.

Bug#265030: lyx-qt: Ispell for British English not working in Lyx
Package: lyx-qt Version: 1.4.2-4 Followup-For: Bug #265030 This bug was reported to have been fixed in version 1.4.1, but occurs again in version 1.4.2-4.
