Hi I had a old hard drive begin to fail, so I did a fresh debian-installer testing install and then did a quick upgrade to sid. I installed amd64 version of debian. I had used i386 version on that machine before. I would like to view google and youtube videos on that machine. I enabled the mul

Postgresql wont restart. Can I clear shared memmory segments without rebooting?

Hi I have a remote server running debian etch, that has only 1G of ram, (that i cannot easily add ram to), that runs a large postgresql 7.4 database and it occasionally runs out of enough shared memory. The database is static and I no longer add data to it. The machine sits on the network and i

This is just to publicize the fact that many gnome packages depend upon devicekit-disks devicekit-disks is incompatible with dmsetup and therefore lvm2. If your / is on a lvm2 group you will not be able to boot. here is a debian bug reference: http://bugs.debian.org/550434 if you have gnome

sid dist-upgrade: lvm2 conflicts with devicekit-disks so systems with / on lvm2 killed

Hi, I recently did a sid dist-upgrade, and could no longer boot using linux-image-2.6.30-2-686-bigmem kernel and had to boot off an old 2.6.26 kernel. The reason is that gnome-control-center and other gnome stuff bring in devicekit-disks and 1. lvm2 requires dmsetup 2. devicekit-disks confli
