Thanks, Bernhard R. Link! - Stop searching for XF86Config files This change is briefly mentioned in the 6.0.1 news release. Thanks for the explanation, Geoff! In my particular case, narrow bandwidth prevents me from instant observing of the update process, since I do it not often for a stable distribution. In addition, have managed to use a 'pure' apt in console for any purposes to work with packages, I briefly checked output messages but obviously too briefly in this case. It is a first time for me for 3+ years a stable distro was spoiled by an update, as I thought it is more trustworthy. From a point of view of an average user, I think it may be useful to warn about such critical changes right after # apt-get dist-upgrade command output, as it shows a list of packages marked to change, before yes/no confirmation. X configuration seems to be critical IMHO, and if X is failed to load, it blocks an average user from receiving help over internet through normal GUI. Yes, I know about web browsers in CLI, but this variant is not preconfigured (AFAIK) in current release and I never seen a note to use that way in emergency. Yes, I know about release notes for updated packages, but do not have any clue how to find it.

I really have no idea how nvidia worked before on your machine, given that you were using the wrong configuration file... Before update and after the fix exposed, it is running great. Sleep/unsleep, brightness control, Compiz, switching on/off with Fn key combination - everything is fine. In addition, it is able to play Starcraft II@wine.

Trinity has its own mailing list. Maybe, before making any undesiderable movement, you should have asked there. Anyway, I also find difficult to play with several desktops (I mean, removing a whole DE is not always as easy as installing it) :-/ Have done something already. Have uncommented CD-ROM and took something from there (iwconfig still does not works with WPA key passphrase?). Now reinstalling GNOME (as I like to think), thank god a network is up.

Switch back Ctrl+Alt+F7 works fine, though. If that does not work you have to ditch the proprietary driver and switch to nouveau for a nice console. It is preferable for me to stick with NVIDIA driver, because I still have a hope to play StarCraft II at 1366x768 one day.

Strange effect was achieved, I have seen 1366x768 at the grub's initial boot moment, where counter counts from 5 seconds to zero and then console switched back to 640x480. These bright 5 seconds were enjoyable, though... Grub restored to the original state and I continue googling.

Anyways; I have been a Debian fan for quite awhile but I do believe there are different distros for different things. My roomate has been raving about LinuxMint 10 and since I may be reinstalling my OS I was giving it consideration. I am thinking of switching to a 64bit OS only because I may soon upgrade over the 4GB RAM cap on 32bits. I also use the system for basic all around system and run an sshd server. So question being is there really any advantages to Mint in the gaming arena over the capabilities of Debian itself? Really logic tells me GNU is GNU, and a personally configured system is always better, but not knowing my way around the Linux gaming world esp. Graphics support maybe Mint would offer less of an upstream battle... Thoughts?? My humble opinion may not be popular here, but there is nothing harmful, if you'll install MS Windows as a second system into your box, make it dual boot and enjoy any windows-based game you want in a best possible way. It saves your time for more gaming instead of wine configuring etc. For consumer's apps, MSW is not so bad. The only disadvantage of such dual boot, it is reboot. -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The Debian list policy is, therefore, reasonable, because it minimizes the overall total harm caused by misdirected messages. I completely agree with You! My wife hosts a mailing list for scientists, and although most of the subscribers have a 'Dr.' or 'Ph.D.' in their title, messages from the list are repeatedly replied to as if they came from private email addresses. The list is usually monitored, and there is a lot of work to weed out private messages. Despite repeated detailed explanations of why these things happen, some people keep doing it wrong again and again... Now, sometimes, the list is left to run unmonitored and then it can get really wild: Apart from harmless accounts about personal experiences, travel itineraries, and family matters, there have been cases of subscribers unknowingly posting their credit card details to the list, which is a serious problem, since anyone can read the list messages. So, the list policy is sound. Yes, you are sounding so reasonable. As a final accord, would you, please, to post an instruction how to tune up GMail web client to use 'List Reply' field in messages?

By the way, a standard which lurking around here, does not restrict that. I think the main reason here is what the list owners see and want the list this way.

Is a default system locale independent from an interface language? I mean, is it possible to change a default system locale to whatever I like and there will be no harm to English interface I have? 2. Is it will be enough to switch a default system locale via # dpkg-reconfigure locales ? In this case, locales I have chosen before, will be regenerated and there will be no harm to current set of locales and I will have a chance to change default system locale, right? 3.

If I got you right, you have burnt a CD image to DVD media? If that's guess is correct, try to record CD image to CD media. If I got you wrong and you have tried to boot from recorded CD-R, here is another option: are you sure that CD is properly recorded and have a quality enough to be read by your DVD-ROM device? Maybe there are some mechanical errors at the CD-R itself due to unsuccessful recording and that preventing the disc from a proper reading? Have you tried to boot from that recorded CD-R somewhere else? Locate another computer and repeat a boot stage. Don't start the install process, just try to boot into debian-installer. If you face a failure, re-record CD-R at lower speed. Try to record Debian ISO at the lowest possible speed which is supported by your burner.

Thank you! I will try your build as soon as I will reach my Debian-loaded computer! Hi Mark, have you had a chance to download and try that package yet? Chris, it works!! I have rebooted from [ offtopic here :) ] and started your applet right away. It works. Done. Great! Good job, Chris!
