You can easily go beyond 4GB of RAM (also possible with i386 but you need a kernel option for that which is afaik enabled anyway in standard debian kernels) > And what with missing packages like flash plugin ? if you want a desktop PC stay with i386 since there isn't anything available that makes flash work out of the box with amd64. It can however be done (look at the various posts on this list which suggest in essence a chroot and a full 32bit installation of firefox/iceweasel) Personally I don't care (for desktops) about 64 vs 32 bit. The reason for that is that I disable flash anyway since it's useseless for me. For servers I keep with 64bit if (and only if) I expect to need more than 4GB of RAM (which is the usual use case). If I have to decide actively wether I use 32 or 64 bit on a desktop with linux i choose 32bit because most of the software will "just work". On the other hand of course if you don't mind some plumbing the "64 bit marketing lie" (faster) won't be much of trouble for you.

Normally I find that playback gives no problems and I did for a short period get playback and recording working properly then after a Debian upgrade the recording stopped working properly again. If I try to record (arecord) using a microphone I cannot move the recording volume slider above 70% otherwise I start getting extremely distorted sound on playback (aplay) and although the recording volume is adequate there is a loud background hum. If I reduce the recording volume to about 60% the loud hum changes to a noticeable hiss but the recorded voice is too low. I had a similar problem using audacity with alsa and google suggested wrapping the offending program with 'aoss' from the alsa-oss package. i.e. run 'aoss arecord' I have to use the 'Digital' slider on the Kmix input tab to control microphone volume - none of the other sliders seem to do anything. I also have to have the first capture slider on (un-muted) to get any sound at all but it makes no difference whether that slider is at the bottom or not - it does not affect the volume. I also have a record deck with a USB connection which I last used under OSS. The setup was working then and, as I remember, it was pretty straightforward to set up.

Scroll wheels not working after upgrade to etch/xorg

The scroll wheels were still generating events, but not the right ones any more. Google merely turned up a few other baffled people with a similar problem. The solution turned out to be to include Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off" in xorg.conf. The existing xorg.conf simply had the Emulate3Buttons line commented out, and it seems from the log file that xorg was defaulting to enabling Emulate3Buttons. Explicitly disabling Emulate3Buttons got my scroll wheels working again.

I use IMAP to synchronize my mail across systems (sounds like you do

ham to learn. (warning: it's quick and dirty, won't work for anyone

Re: html email
So far no messages have shown up in mail stream with note about lynx changing them to plain text. However that's because of spamassassin doing its work. I got a well-trained filter over here. If you use my code snippet it's not at all risky. You can do anything wild at all you like so long as you remember to backup to de-html-backup. I check de-html-backup with from -f de-html-backup every so often that way I can get a quick sense of what's being captured. the de-html-backup file has the original unmodified email in it before any filtering gets done.

Looks OK to me, unless there is an interrupt conflict. What is the

I have a different codec. STAC9271D is known and supported according to
the 2.6.22 kernel sources. I am a bit surprised, though, that it is
"codec#2". Are there any other codecs? (I only have "codec#0".)
Please post the output of the following:

The snd_hda_intel module should be enough, together with snd_pcm_oss for
legacy OSS support. What is your output for "lsmod | grep snd"?

You might have to pass some additional parameters to the snd_hda_intel
module when you modprobe it. I hope that the output of one of the
commands above will give us a clue.

SOLVED: Always falling to grub prompt
Finally my problem is solved. The problem was that I had to reinstall grub in the MBR of the first disk, *telling it that /boot was in a different partition*. I booted from a LiveCD (I was using GParted's one, as it booted faster than the rescue option of Debian's LiveCD, and I had to boot quite a few times in the last hours), then typed "grub". This led to the grub prompt. I set the root device to (hd1,0), since this is the boot partition (where grub/stage1 file is): grub> root (hd1,0) And then I install grub in the MBR of *the first disk*, where Windows is installed, and quit the grub shell: grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit Then reboot, and... voila, the grub menu I was missing so much, after one week of absense. All my kernels and Windows are booting normally, and I'm very happy. Thanks to all those of you who helped. It was really difficult to be sure what to do just by browsing the web. Two particularly useful websites were the grub manual, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively, and http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=232 Anyway, for the record, for anyone browsing the web, here is a "short" summary of this adventure :-) 1. Initial setup: hda : cdrom hdc1 : Windows partition in first disk (10G) hdd1 : Linux bootable partition in second disk (160G) hdd2 : Linux swap in second disk 2. The problem: Some kernel upgrade left the system unbootable. Booting with the new kernel led to Error 18 (more cylinders than BIOS can manage). Old kernel booted. Subsequent kernel upgrades and playing with menu.lst completed the mess. In the end, I had two kernels (the oldest and the newest) booting, and two kernels with Error 18. None of them booted normally, though, and I always got the grub prompt. I had to manually give "root", "kernel", "initrd" and "boot" commands at the prompt, to boot. 3. The diagnostics: As someone pointed out, kernels and menu.lst must have been written beyond the zone visible by the BIOS, so after months of normal operation, suddenly I could not boot. 4. Solution (first step): Following suggestions from this list, I left a small boot partition at the beginning of /dev/hdd. I used GParted Live CD 0.3.4-8, which was able (amazingly) to move the beginning of the /dev/hdd1 partition. I left 500 M free. With GParted, I set it as ext3. After "executing pending actions", which meant 1h40m of waiting until the resize of hdd1 completed, I had a new "/dev/hdd3" partition at the beginning of the 160G disk. Then I set the bootable flag on it, also with GParted. Now open a terminal, and followed the suggestions I received: - Mounted both partitions, /dev/hdd3 as /mnt/new-part and /dev/hdd1 as /mnt/old-part. - Copy /mnt/old-part/boot/* to /mnt/new-part - Moved /mnt/old-part/boot to /mnt/old-part/old-boot, then mkdir /mnt/old-part/boot [probably not necessary?]. - Edit /mnt/old-part/fstab (see later for the final setup that works) - Umount /mnt/new-part, remount on /mnt/old-part/boot - Chroot into /mnt/old-part - Edited menu.lst (see later for the final setup that works) I rebuilt initrd's: update-initramfs -k "all" -u 5. Solution (second, probably unnecessary, step) The previous procedure didn't work, and I was still left with an unbootable system. It failed with "Error 15", and not even got a grub prompt. I thought there was a problem with partition order, and I fixed that. fstab and menu.lst were edited accordingly, and that's the setup that is working now, but I don't think this step was necessary. Anyway: fdisk /dev/hdd Used commands: m (menu), p (print partition table), x (extra functionality), f (fix partition order), w (write partition table to disk) Final /etc/fstab: /dev/hdd2/ ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdd1/boot ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2 /dev/hdd3none swap sw 0 0 [other lines] Final /boot/grub/device.map: (hd0) /dev/hdc (hd1) /dev/hdd Final /boot/grub/menu.lst [only relevant lines]: [...] # kopt=root=/dev/hdd2 ro [...] # groot=(hd1,0) [...] root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz- root=/dev/hdd2 ro initrd /initrd.img- savedefault [...] titleWindows root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 6. Solution (third and final, and critical, step) The problem persisted, and the solution was to reinstall grub in the MBR of the first disk (hd0, hdc), with root in (hd0,1) [hdd]: After booting from LiveCD: # grub grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit # Ok, that's it.

Best way to install second version of Debian?
I want to install a second version of Debian on a spare partition of my HDD (can't have too much of a good thing ...). Currently I have /dev/sda1 as Sidux, /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu. I want to put Debian on /dev/sda8. The step I'm worried about is the final one: i.e. how to manage the boot subsequently without losing access to the existing partitions.

Thanks! Peter
I tried:
modprobe snd-intel8x0 ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ;
modprobe snd-seq-oss
The snd_hda_intel module should be enough, together with snd_pcm_oss for
legacy OSS support. What is your output for "lsmod | grep snd"?
Result: No error message when playing audio but also no sound.
I also tried
#alsoconf (the above card was recognized without problems)
# alsactl store
alsactl: save_state:1253: No soundcards found...
#speaker-test
speaker-test 1.0.14

Any ideas? PS, I am running sid with a 2.6.22 kernel.
You might have to pass some additional parameters to the snd_hda_intel
module when you modprobe it. I hope that the output of one of the
commands above will give us a clue.

You will be asked if you want to install a boot manager.

It should be reasonably obvious what is needed, but menu.lst will contain the list of documentation, which may not be the same in all installations. It is fairly well commented.

"smart" refers to resolving dependencies by installing additional packages or removing software, as opposed to simply not installing packages that would require such actions. If you are using unstable (which, given the fact that you are using update-manager "often", it would be logical to conclude you are), then you should wait a few days for missing dependencies or updated packages to be uploaded to the archive. FWIW, I have pidgin installed and there are no problems I am aware of.

Re: Linux Printer Sharing
Hi all. I've a Etch machine that acts also as a print server. In my laptop is installed a lenny, and in my wife laptop, win XP pro (:-(). I have 2 printers configured in my server (one usb port and one lpt port). I have NOT installed samba on my server (well, really it's installed, but not configured to share printers!). I have configured both in my laptop using CUPS and pointing the to the server (for example: http://my_server:631/printers/my_printer_name). In the XP laptop i use the Adobe Postscript Driver and configure in the way described above. Of course, in my server i have modified the cups configuration file (etc/cups/cupsd.conf) to allow the connection from other hosts. Anyway, i agree with Ron & Steve, SAMBA should be the better way to do that job. For win machine you can use also the "cupsaddsmb" utility to automagic install!! Hope it helps you! Bye

I have now set up mutt and mailcap as you and Benjamin suggest and the whole issue is greatly eased.
