Hi,
Not interested in a debate over systemd. But I have a boot issue and since
there isn't a bug that matches the symptoms, I suspect my setup may be
peculiar and I'm hoping someone may have some insight.
The package systemd-sysv installs a symlink ./sbin/init ->
/lib/systemd/systemd. The sy

I bought a netbook (Acer aspire one) recently and got Debian running on it with

few problems. The wireless networking works, graphics works.
One thing that does not work as well as in Windows 7 is the track pad for

Moving the cursor works fine, but in Win

I maintain ccmalloc for Debian and I'd like to know if anyone cares
about this package. If not, I will have it removed from the archive
since it's been dead upstream for 6.5 years and the upstream web page
has vanished.
Please email me directly if you are using it. If you are using it

Hi,
[Cc's appreciated as I don't subscribe to the list]
By default, mounting an ISO filesystem will translate filenames,
e.g. translating "THIS.DAT" to "this.dat". I need to turn off this
translation.
The manpage describes the option "map=off" which indeed turns off the
lowercasing. However, t

Hi,
I use two monitors with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 card on an amd64 system.
I had this configured and running since last October using the
proprietary ATI driver I downloaded myself.
After upgrading (I run Debian/unstable) a few days ago, this broke.
At first, the system came up in "screen clone"

I have an ATI radeon card and have been using DRI for many months.
I use the stock Debian kernel packages. When I recently installed

I'm using GNOME with sawfish as the window manager.
In GNOME's control centre, I have ticked the option to "automatically
