Bug#565511: Ext4 cannot be mounted in target system, but can be mounted by installer?

2010-01-16 Thread A.E.Lawrence
I used the rescue mode of the installer to change the root file system type to ext4. I used #tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/yourfilesystem That was successful. I could then mount and browse the file system in rescue mode. However when I rebooted back into the target system it

Bug#547001: Trackballs under X: fdi

2009-11-14 Thread A.E.Lawrence
A FX trackball stopped working properly recently. Investigation showed that the info.product displayed by hal had changed from "PS2++ Logitech Mouse" to "PS2++ Logitech TrackMan". My guess is that this is because I am running a different kernel (stock 2.6.32-rc6), but I am not sure. Anyway,

Bug#551448: Correction: /dev/hdc was the dvd on the target machine

2009-10-22 Thread A.E.Lawrence
My last report was incorrect in that /dev/hdc was the dvd and /dev/hdd was the cdrom on the machine from which I reported. So the situation was worse in that /dev/dvd pointed to the wrong drive. ael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsu

Bug#548434: Additional info: CRC errors in /var/log/messages, dd also failing

Bug#507993: Segfault clears after wiping downloaded and temporary files

2008-12-06 Thread A.E.Lawrence
Removing the downloaded jigdo and temporary files seems to cure the problem. But it must still be a bug if a segfault can arise? I realize that without a gdb session or similar, there really isn't enough information in the bug report to tie down the problem. ael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [E
