Does your BIOS see the ram as all good? If so you may need to find something that tests the memory a bit more rigorously. A quick scan of the packages list gives memtest86 and memtest. Both look like they should help you out in testing your ram. --mike On 10 Aug 2001 20:12:15 +0200, Marco Herr

Try running: apt-get install gnumeric/unstable after updating your sources.list file to be able to see the unstable listings. Just don't do a dist-upgrade without making it an apt-get -t testing dist-upgrade from now on. That way you'll only get the unstable gnumeric and not the whole enchilida.

Does the logrotate process you run have enough permissions to write to the file it's trying to truncate? It seems to have enough permissions to copy it, but not to write it. Check to see if you as a user can write to the file since my logrotate command has no suid bit set. --mike On 10 Aug 2001
