What has happened to task-print-service?

Hi, I am wondering where has task-print-service gone? When I try to update my testing Debian installation, apt wants to remove task-print-service with a large number of CUPS related packages. Should I allow this or is this something I need to wait until gets fixed. I don't see task-print-service o

Re: grub menu takes very long to appear

By the way and for the record, this bug report is an exact instance of the problem I had and the proposed workaround fixed the delayed boot process for me too: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950175.

grub menu takes very long to appear

Hey folks, I’ve been trying to install Debian testing on an Asus x205ta laptop which has a 32-bit UEFI. The i386 architecture installs flawlessly but I am trying to install the amd64 architecture using the Debian Installer alpha 2 multi-arch image (I tried the daily images but they consistently fa

Debian Squeeze and encrypted LVM

Dimmed GDM

Not resuming from hibernation; doing normal reboot instead

setting sensor limits fails

Hi there, On a recent install of Squeeze I get a message that "setting sensor limits" fails. I am wondering whether this can be a threat to the hardware and if there are any workarounds for this issue. I am running the amd64 2.6.32 kernel from testing on my HP Pavilion dv5 laptop. Thanks. Nima

I also experience this with Debian Squeeze on intel hda audio hardware. It's never really bothered me and I'm not concerned that it will do any damage. I can tell you what I would try if I was concerned: I'd begin by disabling ALSA from starting at boot. Once I get to a console I'd initialize

Hi there, I've got an annoying problem with my laptop which is a Pavilion dv5. I have the latest kernel 2.6.32. The problem is that at reboot the speakers make a loud noise which I fear may damage hardware. This problem existed with somewhat older kernels and it was worse. There used to b

Re: problem installing nvidia-glx on a debian testing with 2.6.32 kernel

I guess you're in Squeeze or probably Lenny, right? Remove everything nvidia-related (source packages, modules built or installed, non-free binary drivers, etc.), activate sid in your sources.list, and then try again. Be sure to have the correct kernel headers available by doing m-a prepare f

Re: console resolution

Re: Re: Re: console resolution

I was able to achieve the desired resolution of 1280x800 (equivalent to, I think, 0x361) by manually editing grub.cfg but the grub menu does not show correctly. It only fills the left top quarter of the screen and parts of it cannot be seen. The rest was fine (the boot up of linux I mean) wit

Re: Re: console resolution

It's weird but it's not working for me. Somehow update-grub (as well as update-grub2, in case they are different) ignore all modifications to /etc/default/grub. I'm giving up. Should I report a bug? Hi, I use a slightly different way, I put: GRUB_GFXMODE="1440x900 640x480" in /etc/default

Re: Re: console resolution

set gfxpayload=keep will tell Grub2 to hand off the graphics settings to the kernel, which if configured properly will carry them forward. There are some other settings to tweak as well, insmod vbe and whatnot in the appropriate file, but that's about the gist of it. The nice thing is it make

Hi there. Does anyone know if the Flock browser is available in Debian? According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335459 it seems that the software was planned to enter the Debian repositories long ago but I cannot find it. If it is available via APT, please let me know

Thanks Camaleon, Aioanei, Chris, and Alan. Adding 'gnome-settings-daemon' to the autostart directory did the job! I removed the 'gtk-qt-engine' and 'qtcurve' packages I had installed. So just having 'gnome-settings-daemon' fired up at startup seems enough. Nima -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, emai
