[stable] OpenGL problem:bay trail
Hi. I've a bay trail processor with HD graphics. I've enabled hardware Firefox hardware acceleration (downloaded from Mozilla) but it's extremely slow; not at par to this graphics chip. Even the GTK UI and scrolling is slow at 1024x768 resolution. I thought this was an upstream problem, but it works fine with Fedora 20 which uses 3.15 kernel. I'm using backproted 3.16 kernel.

Re: Headless server just got suspended by updating systemd

All went well until udev got upgraded, when I lost contact with the server and could not ping it. Looking at the laptop, I noticed that the suspend indicator was on, even though I have had power management ignore the lid switch. I opened the lid and it resumed. I was able again to ping and ssh into the server. However, 'w' told me that the machine had been up for 85 days, which meant it was time to reboot. I did that - it took a VERY long time to come back up, compared with how quickly it used to reboot - but when I closed the lid, it suspended again. It turns out that logind, a piece of systemd, has taken over power management by default. Editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf so that it contains "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" and restarting logind (with 'sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind')[1] has corrected the problem.

My thought was that they were giving the CDs away as a means of bolstering name recognition and establishing themselves as a mainstream linux player.

X doesn't seem to load app-defaults using gdm
Hi, I'm currently using gdm and I'm a bit puzzled by what exactly happens (or doesn't happen) when starting X. I tried using a self-modified .xsession and X starts fine, but the app-defaults for xterm aren't loaded. Furthermore, when using one of the other Sessions, for instance fluxbox or gnome, some of the defaults for certain programs aren't read. /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt contains the following two lines: background:black foreground:white Yet rxvt is allways loaded with background white and foreground black. greets, kromagg -- Only two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe, and I'm not sure about the latter. -- Albert Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Apparently there was no line like this present. So basically the settings for xterm background color get loaded from somewhere else when not using the Xsession session under gdm.

problems with ldd/pthreads?
Hi, I had some problems with quake 3 crashing when changing videomodes, until I found this in the NVIDIA readme: "Q: OpenGL applications crash and print out the following warning: WARNING: Your system is running with a buggy dynamic loader. This may cause crashes in certain applications. If you experience crashes you can try setting the environment variable __GL_SINGLE_THREADED. For more information please consult the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS section in the file /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README. A: The dynamic loader on your system has a bug which will cause applications linked with pthreads, and that dlopen() libGL multiple times, to crash. This bug is present in older versions of the dynamic loader. Distributions that shipped with this loader include but are not limited to RedHat Linux 6.2 and Mandrake Linux 7.1. Version 2.2 and later of the dynamic loader are known to work properly. If the crashing application is single threaded then setting the environment variable __GL_SINGLE_THREADED to any value will prevent the crash. In the bash shell you would enter export __GL_SINGLE_THREADED and in csh and derivatives use setenv __GL_SINGLE_THREADED Previous releases of the NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Driver Set attempted to work around this problem, however the workaround caused problems with other applications and was removed after version 1.0-1541. Q: When I run Quake3, it crashes when changing video modes; what's wrong? A: You are probably experiencing the problem described above. Please check the text output for the "WARNING" message describe in the previous hint. Setting __GL_SINGLE_THREADED as described above, before running Quake3 will fix the problem." Now this does work to solve the problem but since ldd is version 2.3.x I don't think this is the problem, or at least the problem is somewhere else. Every time I tried to change resolution the program got a signal 11 (but X still changed resolutions). There is also something strange going on when trying to launch ut 2003 which seems to suffer from the same problem when trying to change the resolution on startup. (output is much less descriptive though). I guess it might have something to do with my kernel since I'm only running 2.2, but I'm confused as to what would be the cause? any thoughts would be much appreciated, wim -- Only two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe, and I'm not sure about the latter. -- Albert Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That being said, an audio cd is not necessarily a filesystem (I have no idea why mounting it would be any different, this is probably something for somebody with a little more experience). So you are right, you don't need to mount it, what you need to do is access your cd directly, either by using a cd playing program that streams the audio to your soundcard (requires a cable to be connected between your soundcard and cdrom, not that common anymore nowadays) or something like xmms that can play audio cds. In the case of xmms you need a special package xmms-cdread which will do this.

How to find out where memory leaks to
Hey, I am running a quite standard Debian woody setup with the kernel 2.4.18 that comes from the packages. The 2 HDs are in a RAID0, formatted as ext3, with quota installed.

Installing debian on new hardware.
Hello list, i was just wondering, I have a new machine PIV 2.8ghz with hyperthreading, and a serial ata disk. What is the best way to launch a debian install on it ? Currently there's a gentoo with a custom kernel on it which i had to install from a custom chroot (since there were problems booting and detecting the disks). But gentoo doesn't 'feel' right and i want to turn the machine in a debian. Are there any recents boot disks,iso, ... available that are able to boot this machine, or how can i create my custom boot disks starting from the current kernel, or is it possible to launch the debian install from a chrooted environment ? greetings Elie De Brauwer -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, I recently installed a debian on a SATA machine and I also had problems booting a installation the normal way. (Either debian and gentoo installation had problems detecting the drive).

kde package dependencies broken (kde relies on everything?)
hi, recently I tried to remove some of the excess software on my system, so I tried removing stuff like koffice, or kate, or kedit, ksysv, kcron, everything that doesn't look like it is needed for operating kde, even kde-base-doc. kde is dependent on all of them. Is this a bug? I can't believe that if you want kde, you immediately need all these packages. The only one I've been able to remove so far is kdm, which seems even more strange.

xinetd secondary addresses and ports
Hi All, want to run several instances of the same application (apache, sshd, whatever...) with different configurations on separated secondary addresses with their original port numbers (e.g. eth0:1 192.168.123.1:80 httpd www.acme.com and eth0:2 172.16.1.1:80 httpd www.whitehouse.gov) This in order to facilitate several datasources (websites or such) that are not heavily demanded and to combine them on a single HA-platform. Is this the recommended way? What about applications that are not able to distinguish by themselves (sshd -sshd_config ListenAddress-) between addresses?

When you compile them, they're made for the current running kernel, and won't work on any other kernel you try them on. Alternatively, you may check with lsmod to see if the module NVdriver is still loaded. If you didn't make it autoload on boot, you won't have the NVdriver module integrated in your kernel, and hence, your nVidia drivers won't work. -- Mathias De Belder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It is my understanding that this requires some level of knowledge about the hardware that is usually not disclosed.

Re: NVidia Riva TNT PCI with XFree86
Hi, This isn't true. These packages are for the nvidia kernel drivers, which are the nvidia propietary drivers. The X server contains a package for nvidia cards named "nv". This is a free driver, but doesn't contain any 3d acceleration. You probably misconfigured the x server somewhere. A good way to debug your XF86Config-4 is typing: X -configure Then see if it starts up. If it does, just look at the file created in the directory you were in while running this command, it should have a name like XF86Config.new or something, and find the differences with your config file (especially in the "device" section). gl, Wim On Mon, 9 Dec 2002 10:04:19 -0500 sean finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > heya, > > yeah, you need a couple packages. install > > nvidia-kernel-src > nvidia-glx-src > > and follow the directions you get in /usr/share/doc/nvidia* > > > good luck, > sean > > On Mon, Dec 09, 2002 at 08:49:38AM -0500, Ben Hill wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am having some hassle setting up my NVidia Riva TNT PCI graphics card with >XFree86 on Debian 3.0 rev0. > > > > I have set up the device manually in the XF86Config-4 as a "nv" type, but when I >try to start X, it just tries to display, then retrys endlessly. > > > > Do I need to add NVidia drivers?

Hi Malcolm, Contrary to common belief DNS is not UDP only. Once in a while a normal query will be to large and then TCP packets are used. So TCP is not exclusively for zone-transfers. Here's what I use in my iptables-script: if [ "$CONNECTION_TRACKING" = "1" ]; then iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUB_IFACE -p udp \ -s $PUB_IP --sport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS \ -d $IP --dport 53 \ -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUB_IFACE -p tcp \ -s $PUB_IP --sport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS \ -d $IP --dport 53 \ -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT fi iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUB_IFACE -p udp \ -s $PUB_IP --sport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS \ -d $IP --dport 53 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $PUB_IFACE -p tcp \ -s $PUB_IP --sport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS \ -d $IP --dport 53 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $PUB_IFACE -p udp \ -s $IP --sport 53 \ -d $PUB_IP --dport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i $PUB_IFACE -p tcp ! --syn \ -s $IP --sport 53 \ -d $PUB_IP --dport $EPHEMERAL_PORTS -j ACCEPT Mind you it is somewhat double. It is something I got used to do in the past. So there are a couple of catch 'em lines just in case the connection tracking module isn't loaded on that particular host. You might not need those extra lines. Grx HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As the ATAPI model seems to be the most popular I'll show you what you need to know for installing such a beast. For SCSI only the first step will differ.

[ot] executing commands from windowmaker
Hi there, sorry for this little of topic question but I have a little windowmaker question and I haven't found a solution to it yet. One of the biggest disadvantages in windowmaker is (imho) that it is unpossible to execute a command by keyboard in a speedy way. In KDE for example you have ALT+F2 that pops up a nice 'execute command' box, you enter the command press enter and the application starts. Is anyone away of a windowmaker alternative ? tia Elie De Brauwer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If someone > who can read Dutch has a few spare moments, we would greatly > appreciate it if you would help out. > > (http://www.marjoleinbastin.nl/winkel.asp) Hi dman, Here's a very quickly (may contain some typos) translated version of her bio as found on http://www.marjoleinbastin.nl/marjoleinbastin.asp Marjolein Bastin was born in 1943 as the daughter of John and Pia uit den Bogaard in Loenen a/d Vecht. "I can still remember all details of my delightful explorations as a pre-schooler in the great gardens bordering on the Vecht (a river). The swing next to the raspberry, the flower garden, the small avenue leading to the Vecht bordered by apple- and peartrees, the bench on the waterfront - the boathouse I was forbidden to enter - the chickens and bunnies." In 1952 her father, the famous author of "Swiebertje" (great nostalgic stories about a tramp in the times before the war, read mostly by children and made into a hughly popular television series here in the Netherlands) who was a schoolteacher in Loenen, was named editor in chief of the N.C.R.V. guide (the TV guide of one of the largest public broadcasters in our country) in Wageningen (a city). The family, which included a second daughter Babette by now, moved to the Veluwe (a region known for its fruits). A completely different world with its dry sandy soil, different scents, different plants and birds. Again a new exploration of discovery began. Lying on her belly on the moss she saw black beetles laboriously drag rabbit pellets to their tunnels. She saw gleaming green ground beetles running over the loose sand and lizards and blindworms hunting for bugs in the heather. Those blessed early years formed the blueprint for her life. She wanted to share the surpise, the delight, the enjoyment with her mother as a two-year-old, now she shares her love of nature with millions. She found a means for it: drawing and writing. After attending the Academy of Expressive Arts in Arnhem (where she met her husband Gaston Bastin) from 1960 to 1965, she was employed by several advertising agencies and publishers. >From 1974 on she worked for "Libelle" magazine, where she got her own nature section in 1980, and was joined by Vera de Muis some years later. In 1992 the Bastins signed a contract with Hallmark U.S.A., based in Kansas City. Since then they stay a couple of months each year in their house in a prairie reservation. "There the same thing happened to me all over again as when I was a child exploring the gardens along the Vecht: everything was new, the scents, the trees, the climate. Suddenly there were racoons in my birdhouse! Birds unknown to me, new flowers, strange butterflies. I had to start all over again, everything I had to lookup! And now I want to share the beauty of America with all my Dutch friends, just like I show my American friends how beautiful Dutch nature is." In 1994 Hallmark launched "Nature's Sketchbook" by Marjolein Bastin. Since then cards and stationaries have been complemented with a rich line of gifts. Currently it is one of the most succesful lines ever carried by Hallmark. Marjolein and Gaston Bastin have a daughter Sanna, born in 1973, and a son Mischa, born in 1974. Sanna, married and mother of Merel and Roos, manages the well-known "Marjolein Bastin Giftshop". Mischa is a lawyer in Kansas City, America. Grx HdV P.S.

Some proxy servers allow irc connections thru them (but i've only seen that happen in mIRC). There are also irc daemons that listen on other ports than 6667 e.g. 8080 which might not be blocked all depends on the configuration of the proxy/firewall just try until you find something that works. hth -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm currently on her portable booted using a knoppix cd and now remote X'ing on my regular machine and if I wouldn't know better I would say I were working live on that machine. On the 6 houres that my session is open i consumed approximately 200 megabyte of traffic over an 10mbit lan. I have no problems with applications like pan here. Everything works nice the only disadvantage remote X has is that you just can't jump in into a session that was open before. And if I use vnc on the same configuration and if I compare than remote X wins. my 2 cents ;) -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Didn't it give any errors ? It is advisable NOT to overwrite your old kernel until you are 100% sure your new kernel works, just give it a different name and add a new entry in your lilo.conf. My first guess at your problem is that you simly overwrote your old kernel and did not run lilo afterwards.

mozilla fails to launch the program to view a file after download
Hi, As all of the mozilla users here likely know, when you click a binary link in mozilla it allows you to choose either to download this file and save it, or to open it immediately (if it is in a known format). Lately though, opening or viewing files doesn't seem to work. eg with video files, mozilla asks me politely if I want to use gmplayer to open this file, I answer yes, mozilla downloads it, and then nothing happens. (no error messages whatsoever). Is there a log somewhere that mozilla keeps of its actions or has anybody had the same problem? tia, Wim -- Only two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe, and I'm not sure about the latter. -- Albert Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Should've known that one :) I found out what the problem is. The glibc version (2.2.4 or something I think) had a bug that didn't allow this gcc version to be built. So I basically upgraded glibc a couple of notches, then upgraded gcc to 3.0.4, then upgraded glibc again and then went for gcc 3.2, after which I upgraded glibc to the latest version. I like building my own packages, but I agree, this one was a bit of a hassle. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

slowdown when reading from block devices
Hi, I've noticed in my (woody based) testing/unstable that when I access block devices such as (very obvious off course) my hard disk or my cd-rom device, my system hangs for short moments. Meaning heavier and longer than you would expect it to on an ide system. My kernel version is 2.2.20, I have an ata 133 ide interface if that helps any. It's especially annoying when ripping a cd and in the mean time trying to play some music (with xmms for example). My system is pretty fast in and of its own so the hardware shouldn't be an issue. Can anybody help me out, maybe something to do with buffers or the likes? Thank you, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

problems with gnome-terminal: meta-keys and bell
Hello, I have some problems with gnome-terminal (and others too for that matter). First of all there's the key configuration. I like to use BitchX in a terminal window but if I have hidden screens enabled there I need to be able to switch between them using +1 through 10. This does not work, and I'd like to know if I can configure the terminal to enable it somehow (alt+shift+1 does work, so it's not critical but still). Second of all, I don't have bell sounds in my terminal. I tried set-bell-style audible and other stuff like that. Only thing I can think of is that it's not in the terminfo. So how do I recompile a terminfo entry and where do I get the source for it? tia, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
