Hi all,
tl;dr:
how do I set a fixed resolution on X/XFCE and make debian not care what's on
the display end?
Full story:
I'd like to run Kodi media center or similar on a debian 11 machine that's
connected to my receiver via hdmi.
The machine is an intel N100 and provides graphics, too.
When
Recent Windows updates caused certain bootloaders to make the blacklist, I
just had an argument that went like: why wasn't there a shim update when MS
announced this in April?
And then someone kept insisting that when the Secure Boot feature was designed
Linux distributors did not name an authorit
Hi all,
recently upgraded my media center/file server from wheezy to jessie,
went quite well apart from one thing:
I installed kodi 15.2 from jessie-backports and that (as well as other
programs depending on caps) throw an error
"Unable to find label "Eq" in plugin library file "/usr/lib/ladsp
I use deb7 as a media center base (DVB-S2-PVR with TVheadend and xbmc), but
the DVB-S2 module (Technotrend TT-connect S2-3600) needs the tvlinux modules
in order to not have the kernel scream and die when talked to.
Now, each time the kernel gets an upgrade I:
-disable tvheadend
-reboot
-recompl
Forgot: the pwrwatch script is called from cron every 15 minutes.

Hi,
I wasn't too happy with the HDD power mangement so I wrote the script below
tailored to my needs. Basically, it looks for activity on the device and if
there was none over the past 10 minutes it sends the disks to sleep.

Yes, indeed, that's what triggered it. I checked as root on crontab -l and
that did not show anything.

Just upgraded my server from etch to lenny, all fine so far.
But: 2.6.26-2-686 bootet ok about 10 times, then all of a sudden the system
stops after this point:

Funny thing is: 2.6.26-1-686 still works fine.

From what I remember old matrox cards are supposed to work fine, plus you can
even build a vga-to-scart connector, instructions floating in the web.

Noticed that konq slows down writing to a flash memstick lately (memory stick

So - how do I check its health?

Isn't /cdrom a symlink to /dev/cdrom...?
Maybe give it the real device path rahther.

Ok, partly cleared: m0n0wall doesn't list machines in leases that have fixed
IPs assigned. The other box recently got a new NIC and the MAC filter didn't
match it hence it got an ordinary dhcp lease and appeared in the list.
Why m0n0wall does this is beyond me.
Anyway - still haven't figured why

Got a etch r4 box (xerxes) and a m0n0wall firewall/router.
Another box (shodan) used to run etch r4, too, now is on Kubuntu/etch dual
boot.
From Kubuntu I can't ping xerxes by name, unknown host. I can ping shodan from
xerxes tho.
In m0n0walls interface in dhcp leases xerxes doesn't appear. sho
Does anyone know of precompiled debs of nvidia-glx 173 or 177beta for etch?
The installer just won't work, and I have the impression that 1.0-wxyz is
terribly old.
Pointers for running the installer appreciated as well.

Funny issue here: when I launch gtk apps like Gimp, Sonata, gThumb from KMenu,

Any idea how come?

Encountered an oddity on a headless machine with etch r3:
When the system is booted, kernel messages are put on tty1. Since this is the

Thanks for the in
Today I preferenced etch-backports and did a huge upgrade, so far all fine but
one thing: Opera 9.27 won't play flash anymore.
Iceweasel does, so th eplugin seems fine. Pathes and all appear correct to me.
Ran strace on Opera and searched the output for open calls on flash, but
nothing.
Ideas?
