Re: GRUB error 29
Hi Kent, Would you please be able to provide me the detailed info on how to use grub-install and not to use grub cli I have had the similar problem with unbunto 7.10 and I think it is the backbone problem On 5/26/08, Kent West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This was exactly my point as I don't own a floppy drive.

HELP: removed /var/lib/dpkg...
Hi, due to an damn' typo i removed my complete /var tree, including the dpkg files. I created /var/lib/dpkg/status by hand and did a deselect update to recreate the dpkg database. But when i do a 'dpkg -l' it shows nothing although lots of packages are installed. Is there any way to recreate the list of installed packages? --Heinric Heinrich Rebehn "Have disk - will travel" University of Bremen Physics / Electrical and Electronics Engineering - Department of Telecommunications - E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : +49/421/218-4664 Fax :-3341

Do that alot for an average. Justin

CGI scripts typically are under their own process anyhow, so it also depends on when the OS decides to schedule your script for execution. Since Linux is not a "Real Time" OS there are no assurances on either front. The point being that you can get a pretty good average (down to a tenth of a second) in testing, but execution time may widly vary under a heavy system load. Solution: Average time under a heavy load and feel comfortable with an average. Justin

I thought perhaps I was a bit daft, but I also have had the same experience with the clock one day. I unfortunately did not note the setup I had at the time. I use a variety of X window managers (sawmill, icewm, uwm, enlightenment) and gnome with several of these, and this problem occurred with whatever I had that day.

You may want to review your kernel configuration. It's > possible that your old config file has some slight differences to configs > for 2.2.14 regarding PS/2 mice. I have the same problem, in the x console. I thought perhaps it might be XF86 3.3.6 that is the problem. I re-compiled kernel 2.2.14, and the problem persists. Basically, the ps2 mouse is frozen in the x window; i.e., it reacts much like the old bus mouse problem. So now I kill gpm when invoking x, then use startx gpm -R -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 and the mouse works fine in x.
