That command (above) clued me to the fact that the packages 'locales' was not even installed. Who knew? That's sounds reasonable; actually, i think some programs/container use some environment variables different than standard LANG, so eventually add to /etc/default/locale the following lines: LC_ALL=$LANG LANGUAGE=$LANG that worked for me Pier Paolo.

2011/3/24 Matt Harrison matt.harriso...@gmail.com Sorry to top post this, but I'm in a hurry. I actually got my touchpad working again. I'll dig up the documentation that I used and post it when I find it, unless someone else is able to get it to you first. It has something to do with creating a configuration file and setting something with modprob up. thankyou, hope forseeing some: i got my touchpad working, but as a macintosh one or something... (see xorg.log below) and yes, create a 55- /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to overcame /usr/share/doc/X11/50-synaptics.conf and actually scrolling and going around is very troublesome... please help ;) (it is not only a matter of synaptics parameters...)

My OS is Debian Lenny for i386, and last month I bought a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB removable harddisk. In order to can be used on both Linux and Windows, I chose UDF filesystem for it. The command of making filesystem at that time was: # mkudffs -r 0x0150 --media-type=hd --utf8 /dev/sdb Note: I made UDF filesystem in the whole disk, not partition. Don't know about UDF It worked normally, read and wrote file normally. Today, when I mounted it, and copied some files to it, found that it became very slowly. So I unmounted it and tried to mount it again. But it could not be mounted again!!! The filesystem was crashed! I have searched Google, found much software to recover data for UDF filesystem, but they all work only for UDF CD/DVD, not for UDF harddisk! Oh, many valuable files are saved in the disk. Can anybody tell me some way to save data in the disk? Thank you very very very much.

So after an aptitude update, I did an aptitude dist-upgrade (something I hadn't done since at least 6-12 months -- I did a number of updates of specific packages in the mean time, though). aptitude offered me a solution which required removing a lot of packages (old KDE 3.5 ones), installing a lot of new ones, and updating some.
