Re: Computer archetecture
Thanks. Believe it or not, that actually helps. That information isn't covered anywhere I looked on the debian website. i know this might be spam, but i'll answer anyway... It has something to do with your _PROCESSOR_ (the little thingie inside your computer, that does all the hard work for you), which is probably from the i386 family (as in grandnephew of the 80386 processor). Just google for your processor name and you'll find out... i don't mean to be rude, but if you couldn't find it out by yourself, maybe you should stick to windoze Andrei -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Frank,
I can't tell if you still have the issue or not, but if you do, open a term

if it only shows segmentation fault, then issue strace sylpheed then look
through the last part of strace to see what is killing slypheed.

Grub 1.5 error after update
I have googled the problem but can't make head nor tail of the solutions. During today's update on my testing machine I was asked whether I wanted to update to grub2. I said OK - after the re boot I picked the chain option. The boot went well, so I ran the update-from-grub-legacy script. Now I am getting Grub 1.5 error and the boot goes nowhere. I booted a live cd and had a look at grub.cfg but can't make head nor tail of it. I also don't see any reference in it to the Ubuntu which I have on hda3. Debian testing is on hda2. Can anyone help? I will have to stay in this live cd and may only be able to read on the web..which I guess is gonna be a problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Did the same thing and when asked which hda[] it should boot from just hit enter. I should have put 3 into those brackets in my case, First of all just fixed my problem...by purging grub-pc in a chroot, then running a cd of supergrub disc. Dam good thing I had that. That allowed me to reinstall grub-legacy and everything **seems** to be fine now. I didn't even see those brackets on the question!!! I too hit enter figuring the choice was between hda and sda. Sloppy sloppy. but didn't. So reinstalled but can't download anyting to get the system going again, because it's missing glibc-2.9-1 which is a virtual package apparently. So my system is down for the count, and considering installing again, but Lenny this time, because it will work. I used to run Sid but got tired of it being broken a lot of the time so I switched to Squeeze. I guess Lenny is really the safest for those of us who don't want to spend their lives fixing problems. So wait to see if someone has a fix before you attempt to install testing again. Because you may hit the same wall. No need for that thank God.

After the installation and reboot which went OK, I picked the chain option and that's when it all went downhill. The chaining from grub-legacy menu to grub2 is just supposed to enable testing of the grub2 install, it doesn't install anything. One has to run upgrade-from-grub-legacy as root to finish the process, or simply properly install grub2 in the mbr, and create the config. Sorry, but I did run upgrade-from-grub-legacy after the chaining boot went well. If the boot process failed with the chainloading from grub-legacy, it means that it would not have been a good idea to finish the process anyway...

Locked up Gnome

ext3 file system
I have been having (minor?) problems with the ext3 file systems on my machine. I have Ubuntu installed on /dev/sda3, with Squeeze on /dev/sda2. Nearly everytime I go into Ubuntu, then back to Squeeze, the file system check recovers the journal, and finds 8 or 10 orphaned nodes. It seems to happen when I copy files from sda3 to sda2. I use Sylpheed as a mail client, and on both systems have several shared folders..that is folders that are symlinked. Any ideas on the problem ?

Re: Frustration made me do it.
I often wonder about this; IIRC, FF used to advertise itself as lightweight. Does it still do that? Was it ever accurate? It was lighter that the Mozilla suite that it replaced. It was similar technology, but just a browser. It lacked the HTML editing abilities, the mail and news reader components, and a few other things. This significantly reduced load times and initial memory usage. I still prefer konqueror, or chromium-browser if konqueror doesn't work on a certain site. Still, I find myself using FF + ABP on a few flash-ad-ridden sites. I have resisted installing konq, since I don't use KDE, and I have a perhaps irrational resistance to installing that first KDE package that will drag in all sorts of KDE libs and stuff. I've occasionally tried chromium, but it never worked very well, and I couldn't be bothered to investigate and figure out why. Strange. Google-Chrome is the thing that keeps me on the web now - the ONLY thing I miss in it is FF's handling of RSS feeds. But I'm not going back to that bloat to get them back. -- -- Frank -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Security updates for hold package
Hi, can anybody explain to me what exactly happens if I place a package on hold? I have an application which unfortunately requires an older php version. If I now mark the package hold does this mean no major upgrade will be performed for this package or do I prevent security updates as well, with that action?

multimedia probleem
Beste debian-gebruikers, Dit is mijn eerste post, als degene die snuffelt aan Debian, onderzoekend of hij het als een hoofd-distro kan gebruiken in plaats van Ubuntu. Ik kom nu wel problemen met het afspelen van video tegen. Met de nieuwste adobe geïnstalleerd van de gelijknamige site (zie http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6t=60345#p352108) kom ik het volgende tegen: zowel youtube als vimeo spelen het eerste filmpje zonder probleem af, echter bij het tweede filmpje treedt telkens browser freeze op. Bij het afspelen van een video van nu.nl is er telkens na 5 seconde van het eerste filmpje een browser freeze. Deze drie videosites zijn willekeurig gekozen, wellicht dat er in andere sites ook vergelijkbare problemen zullen zijn. Overigens werkt mini-tube zonder probleem. Mijn grafische kaart is, na lspci | grep VGA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9600M GT] (rev a1) Indien je meer info wil, ik heb het volgende topic hierover gestart: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6t=60345 O ja, in Ubuntu heb ik totaal geen probleem met het afspelen van video. Met vriendelijke groet, Frank Voncken

Goede vraag, dit is wellicht zinvol: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html --- Linux For manual removal, delete the libflashplayer.so binary file in the plugins folder of your browser. Refer to your browser vendor for the location of this folder. -- Wellicht zo: apt-get install locate updatedb #kan lang duren locate libflashplayer.so Overigens kan ik direct melden dat in Ubuntu zowel youtube als nu.nl video's ook in full screen zonder probleem werken. Maar ook op 64 bits? Bedenk dat 64-bits beta is in de ogen van Adobe, als ik me niet vergis ook de Windows 64-bit versie. Groet, Paul. Ik heb de libflashplayer.so gelocaliseerd (het was een mozilla plugin, die bevond zich in gelijknamige map) en verwijderd (door het gewoon te deleten). Vervolgens volgens jouw aanwijzingen flashplugin-nonfree geInstalleerd, daarna volledig verwijderd via de purge-commando, vervolgens opnieuw geïnstalleerd. about:plugins in het adresveld van iceweasel leert dat het betreffende gedeelte over shockwave nu helemaal onderaan staat, in de vorige situatie, met de handmatige installatie vanaf site van Adobe, was dat helemaal bovenaan. Tot mijn enige verbazing blijkt dat de versie onveranderd is gebleven, namelijk 10.3 d162. Voorheen was dat een lagere versie, geloof ik. Verder is de libflashplayer.so weer teruggekeerd in de map .mozilla plugins. Ik weet het niet zeker of het klopt. Maar goed, handmatige installatie op aanwijzingen van eric1959 was kennelijk niet nodig geweest. De problemen blijven uiteraard dezelfde. Nu in tabelvorm de vergelijking tussen Ubuntu (de 64bits-versie van 10.10 waar het alles wel goed gaat, ook in full screen) en Debian (64bits van Sqeeze) in tabelvorm: Ubuntu Debian X. Org.X Server 1.9.0 X. Org.X Server 1.7.7 NVIDIA X Driver dlloader 260.19.06 NVIDIA X Driver dlloader 195.36.31 shockwave flash 10.2 r152 shockwave flash 10.3 d162 De var/log/syslog levert voor mij niets bruikbaars op (al weet ik eigenlijk niet goed waar ik naar moet kijken in zo'n lange lijst). Als ik kijk naar de tijd, dan is er rond het vastlopen van iceweasel iets met aptdaemon quiting due to inactivity, later gevolgd door aptdaemon shutting down requested (ik heb de vastgelopen browser geforceerd afgesloten). O ja, op aanwijzingen van canci (van het engelstalige forum, zie http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16t=51504start=30#p349652 ) heb ik de standaard nouveau vervangen door nvidia door middel van procedure zoals aangegeven op Debian Wiki (http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers). Helaas zonder bevredigende resultaat. Misschien dat ik gewoon terug wil ga naar de vrije software nouveau. maar dat is meer iets voor later, denk ik. Eerst maar flash oplossen. Hopelijk leveren deze beschrijvingen jullie wat op? Ik ga nu naar bed, morgenavond weer verder. Hartelijke groeten, Frank Voncken

En /lib64 is een symlink naar /lib, dus in /lib staan 64-bit libraries. Waar ik achter probeerde te komen is of de flashplayer die je in Ubuntu gebruikt, en die daar goed werkt, ook 64-bits is. Bovenstaande moet je dus onder Ubuntu doen. Mocht Ubuntu een goed-werkende 64-bits versie hebben, dan is het misschien een optie om die te gebruiken. Ik heb het nu in Ubuntu uitgevoerd: overal lib32. Kennelijk heeft Ubuntu de 32bits versie van libflashplayer gebruikt en , zoals eerder getoond, in Debian de 64bits. Interessante informatie. Je zou de flashplayer die het goed doet op Ubuntu kunnen proberen onder Debian. Gewoon de .so kopieren. Ik heb het gekopieerd: youtube en nu.nl herkent geen plugin en geeft een melding dat het onbreekt. Ik heb de originele maar weer teruggezet. Er is natuurlijk meer voor nodig om een 32-bits flashplayer te laten draaien op een 64-bits OS. Dat zou een richting kunnen zijn om op te gaan voor jouw situatie, want blijkbaar gaat dat goed. Ik heb zo een tijdje gedraaid onder Debian Lenny, dat ging toen niet zo heel goed. Ik was blij toen er weer een 64-bits plugin was. Je zou ook, zoals ik al eerder schreef, eens een liveCD kunnen proberen, tenminste als je laptop een CD-speler heeft. Tijdens een sessie met zo'n liveCD kun je ook pakketten installeren via apt-get e.d. Omdat alles in geheugen gebeurd en niet op disk kun je rustig alles uitproberen, na een reboot is alles weer weg. Livecd van 64bits Debian: in plaats van flashplugin-nonfree is er in synaptics flashplayer-mozilla (opmerkelijk...). Je moet eerst het contrib-repository toevoegen. Dan zie je flashplugin-nonfree. Van flashplayer-mozilla heb ik nog nooit gehoord en ik vind het ook nergens terug. Deze markeren leidt tot een lijst van verschillende lib32's. Als ik op toepassen druk, dan krijg ik een foutmelding: depends nspluginwrapper but not installable. Het feestje ging helaas niet door. nspluginwrapper wordt gebruikt om een 32-bits plugin te draaien in een 64-bits omgeving. Het zit echter ook in contrib, waarschijnlijk zit contrib niet in je sources.list. Je kunt ook sources toevoegen via Synaptic: instellingen | pakketbronnen | debian software Daar zet je dan een vinkje bij: software compatibel met DFSG, maar met niet-vrije afhankelijkheden (contrib). Zelf edit ik zulke dingen in /etc/apt/sources.list als root. Toen heb ik de i386 geprobeerd: ook hier flashplayer-mozilla, de installatie ervan verliep gelukkig zonder problemen, de foutmelding bleef achterwege. Testen op youtube en op nu.nl levert helaas precies hetzelfde probleem op: tweede filmpje leidt tot brouwser freeze, en na 5 sec browser freeze (respectievelijk). Het maakt kennelijk geen verschil uit of men 64bits of 32bits lib gebruikt. Ik kan niet beoordelen of je nu de flashplugin van Adobe geprobeerd hebt of wat anders. Het is wel jammer dat ik het effect van lib32 binnen 64bits architectuur niet kan testen, tenminste niet op live-cd. Dat kan wel volgens mij. Ik mag ook ervan uitgaan dat het niet uitmaakt of men nvidia of nouveau gebruikt. Ik denk dat er wel een verschil kan zijn, maar ik verwacht dat het allemaal zou moeten werken. Levert dit alles toch nieuwe inzichten op? Ik hoop het... Misschien kun je ingaan op bovenstaande, het is me niet duidelijk of je de contrib-repository hebt toegevoegd en het is me ook onduidelijk of je flashplugin-nonfree hebt kunnen installeren. Excuses voor de vertraging, ik was afgelopen weekend bij mijn schoonouders. Ik heb nu contrib toegevoegd in /etc/apt/sources.list binnen live-cd omgeving. En warempel, er is inderdaad nu flashplayer-nonfree zichtbaar in synaptics (naast flashplayer-mozilla). Met deze aangevinkt is het flash-probleem helaas niet verdwenen. Aangezien flashplayer-mozilla gebruik maakt van lib32, heb ik deze vervolgens aangevinkt (en flashplayer-nonfree uitgevinkt, uiteraard). Nu ging het installeren wel goed, geen melding van niet-installeerbare nspluginwrapper. Ook hier blijft het flash-probleem helaas hetzelfde, zo is er bijvoorbeeld zowel in nu.nl als in nos.nl na 5 seconden afspelen van een video een browser freeze. Zucht... Ik word een beetje moedeloos van. Een alternatief om 32bits Debian te gebruiken zal waarschijnlijk ook niet werken aangezien 32bits live-cd het flash-probleem niet doet verdwijnen als sneeuw voor de zon. Kennelijk is er nog iets wat in Ubuntu wel werkt en het in Debian ontbreekt. Maar wat? Misschien moet ik maar gewoon bij Ubuntu houden... Hartelijke groeten, Frank Voncken

In veel landen is het gepatenteerd, waardoor het gebruik illegaal is als er geen licentiegeld betaald wordt. Dat betekent niet alleen dat de browserontwikkelaar geld moet betalen, maar ook iedereen die het op websites gebruikt. Als H.264 een geaccepteerd deel van het gestandaardiseerde web wordt, dan vormen die gelden een barrière voor iedereen die iets nieuws wil maken, aldus Shaver. De taak die wij nu hebben is uitleggen dat H.264 duur is. Het is daarom goed om te realiseren dat Google met zijn WebM standaard een alternatief voor H.264 heeft willen creëren. http://www.webmproject.org/ Ogg Theora, WebM, betekent dit verschillende formats? Wachten tot Firefox 4 / Iceweasel 4 uitkomt die WebM ondersteunt? Zucht... Ik blijf maar voorlopig Ubuntu gebruiken... Met vriendelijke groet, Frans van Berckel attachment: face-smile.png

A reboot guarentees that everything is restarted using the new setting. Hope that fixes it...but I am still wondering about the content of /etc/default/locale ?? That file sets the locale for all of the daemons at boot time. The default is the traditional Unix language. If you set None then it will be as all Unix machines have always been. With that file you are instructing a different locale / language. For example a French speaking admin might prefer system messages logged in French and might set fr_FR.UTF-8 so that /var/log/syslog is in their native language. This has advantages and disadvantages. Messages in the standard POSIX C locale are easier to search for in Google. Messages localized won't have as much discussion about it. But any discussion found would likely be in the native language. I personally think it is better to keep to the POSIX standard language. Searching is easier. Discussion is centralized. But that doesn't work if you don't speak the language. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca of the computer system world at this time is the POSIX C locale. Thanks for the detailed reply. Happy to help!

Seems strange. How to go about fixing this ? The easiest way to fix it is this way: # dpkg-reconfigure locales You are an en_US.UTF-8 the same as me. I suggest paging down through the long list of possible locales and verifying that it is selected. It likely is selected but good to verify. The second question is the important one. It asks: Many packages in Debian use locales to display text in the correct language for the user. You can choose a default locale for the system from the generated locales. This will select the default language for the entire system. If this system is a multi-user system where not all users are able to speak the default language, they will experience difficulties. Default locale for the system environment: None en_US.UTF-8 When it says in the above select the default language for the entire system the main effect will be at boot time. At boot time many system daemons are started. What locale will those daemons use? Those system daemons at boot time will use the value set by the above into the /etc/default/locale file. Up through through Debian Wheezy 7 that file is sourced into the /etc/init.d/foo scripts. Everything is different in the upcoming Jessie 8 but I can only hope the same interface functionality for compatibility is provided there. I think this where your system is broken. Your symptoms match the case that the /etc/default/locale file contains a value that wasn't generated and therefore can't be set. Make sure that all locales you use are generated. Note there is also the locales-all package. I strongly suggest setting this question to None as None will configure the traditional POSIX Unix C local behavior from the system and everything will be POSIX standard behavior. Since you are an en_US.UTF-8 user this is a good value for you and everything will behave in a normal way. Non-English locale users may want to set this to a non-english locale so that their system errors are logged using their desired locale setting. But even then if possible I suggest using the POSIX standard locale for interoperability. Bob Did that Bob and selected None. Hope that fixes it...but I am still wondering about the content of /etc/default/locale ?? Thanks for the detailed reply.

For whatever reason the locales package postinst script simply comments out the lines it manages there. I don't know why. I realized I should have said something else too. Let me fix that and say it now. default these days. But I fear that I may have led you to not have LANG set in your normal desktop environment now.

The usual suggestion is to use the 'equivs' package to create a local replacement package for iceweasl and the others. The local package would provide the iceweasel name so that dpkg thinks they are installed but in reality it is simply an empty package holding the name. //snip// Bob That's good to know Bob. I'll make a note of that for the next time this might happen. As it is now, I allowed Aptitude to remove all it wanted to and then re-installed one or two packages.
