 ah, try

Sorry for the fuss and the long silence.  Perhaps

apt-get -t experimental install linux-image-foo linux-base \
initramfs-tools firmware-linux-free

would do.

Hi again,

lauren wrote:

 no problem and thanks for following up

On second thought, I'm reopening this as an excuse to consider drm
patches for backporting.  I've set myself as submitter so hopefully
you won't get any spam from it after this message.

While I have your attention, could you help with one puzzle?  The X
log from the initial report contains:

| Current Operating System: Linux BUZZ 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Oct 30 22:47:19 
UTC 2010 i686

Which sounds like 2.6.32-27.  But dmesg contains:

| [7.120450] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.0.0 20080528 for :01:00.0 on 
minor 0
| [  949.420558] [drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more 
than 1sec aborting
| [  949.420570] [drm:atom_execute_table_locked] *ERROR* atombios stuck 
executing F6D8 (len 487, WS 0, PS 4) @ 0xF719

This doesn't look like the standard squeeze kernel, since squeeze
doesn't contain v2.6.34-rc4~12^2~50^2~17 (drm/radeon/kms: catch
atombios infinite loop and break out of it, 2010-03-02).  It can't be
a mainline kernel, since the just-mentioned infinite loop checker was
not introduced until after a radeon ABI bump (2.1.0).  What did I
miss?

Puzzled,
Jonathan

(That mystery aside, here are some bugfix patches to consider
backporting.

 - v2.6.34-rc4~12^2~50^2~17 (drm/radeon/kms: catch atombios infinite
   loop and break out of it, 2010-03-02)

 - v2.6.36-rc3~9^2~79^2~24 (drm/radeon/kms/atom: bump atom loop
   timeout from 1 sec to 5 secs, 2010-06-30)

 - v2.6.37-rc8~26^2~2 (drm/radeon/kms: reorder display resume to avoid
   problems, 2010-12-20): This fixes the infamous atombios timeouts
   on resume.)

i always ran debian testing and so have had whatever was in those repos ... i 
use my machines for dev so try to keep away from anything too bleeding edge ... 
i doubt i would have added sid or experimental repos for fear of breaking things

No, it won't.  Just do the following:

# cat  /etc/apt/preferences  EOF
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 102
EOF

# echo deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main  
/etc/apt/sources.list

# apt-get update

# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-686

This should prevent any unwanted upgrades from experimental and still
allow you to hand-pick kernels from there.  The installation updates one
additional package that should not hurt you.  Other than that running a
squeeze with .36 should be fine.

Best regards
Uwe

Bug#603469: xserver-xorg-video-ati: screen randomly goes black with no way to bring it back

2010-11-15 Thread lauren

hi and thanks so much for trying to help

i tried what you said but got:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-686 : Depends: linux-base (= 
2.6.36-1~experimental.1) but 2.6.32-27 is to be installed
Recommends: firmware-linux-free (= 
2.6.36) but 2.6.32-27 is to be installed

E: Broken packages


so it isn't installed

also i didn't have a /etc/apt/preferences file so i created it ... is 
that correct?
