Handbrake Installation removes a lot

Greetings. Was about to install Handbrake for Wheezy, but stopped when I saw the list of packages that were going to be removed. Screengrab here on my public dropbox fldr: http://goo.gl/Oow9T What the hell, kind of strange it wants to remove my chat clients and this other stuff. Expected behavi

Re: cgroup & net_prio

Higher numbers denote higher priorities. By the way, net_prio seems to be really simple compared to tc traffic shapping. E.g. #!/bin/sh set -e set -x APPS="chromium iceweasel rdesktop" DIR="/sys/fs/cgroup" grep net_prio /proc/mounts > /dev/null 2>&1 || \ mount -t cgroup -o net_prio net_

Hmmm this problem recurred after the reinstall, but it's only happened once in five boots. I'm going to gather as much info as I can, keep the bug report open, and add whatever useful info I can to the report. The road I'm going to go down for now is that this may be the result of an interac

cgroup & net_prio

Hi, the kernel documentation doesn't seem to state whether the priorities for cgroup/net_prio are like unix process priorities or not. The default prio is 0 and I'm not sure if increasing the numeric value also increases the priority. My short tests are inconclusive. E.g.: echo "wlan0 5" > net_pr

I followed the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Are_cross-grades_possible Needed one more :amd64 package which I installed, then installed the dpkg- amd64 successfully. This "worked." Rebooted to the 64-bit kernel, everything OK. Did apt-get update. So now I have 90+ "
