I had just that problem but with my current mobo (EP-8VTAI). When I just 
had it: random segmentation faults in places where that should never 
happen (compiles) and hard stops.



It turned out that I had to raise the DIMM voltage by 0.4 volts. That is 
2.5 volts by default and can be raised on this board by steps of 0.2 
volts. I raised it first 0.2 volts and the problem lessened but did not 
go away. Then raised it by 0.4 volts and the board is like a rock.


Do you need help?X

I would try to raise the DIMM voltage on that board and see what happenes.

I run a 2 seater Sid box with 2 nvidia cards: one AGP and one PCI. On 
the AGP side I use VT textmode a lot.


Can't find what you're looking for?X

With the closed source driver, the switch from X to VT is instantaneous 
with Ctrl+Alt+F<x>. With nv I have to wait for a few seconds that I 
*cannot stand* so I would run the closed source driver anytime.

fail2ban *should* be able to do this.  It works by reading the log, and
then generates actions based on conditions you set.



$ apt-cache show fail2ban



Read /etc/fail2ban.conf for configuring this.

I'm using the nv driver on a 32 mb RIVA TNT2 graphics card, and it gives
me the full 1600 x 1200 the display handles at 24 bits.  I did try the
Nvidia binary at one point, but Nvidia dropped support for this card.



Also, the nv driver has a much smaller memory footprint than the
proprietary version, at least when I was using it.

The recent DEBCONFmacroDEBCONF problem with exim upgrades brings up this 
question. Yes, I know it's Sid, unstable, and things can break. In such a 
case, though, do they have to break?


Do you need help?X

What happened in this case was those not accepting all the maintainer's files 
(and having to start over) got the malformed macro error and were now missing 
a valid configuration. Before knowing the full extent of this problem, 
messages began streaming to never-never-land. I finally had the sense to shut 
down fetchmail and downgrade exim4 to testing until I find out how to use the 
"adapted" macro mode.



Now, what if the upgrade would say:

1. Shutting down found mail fetcher fetchmail or alternative.
2. Shutting down exim4
3. Upgrading exim4
4. Uh-oh, cannot run with the old config files right now--better do something 


about this. Do not restart the daemons until resolving this!



Outside chance of minimal data loss at most.



If one successfully upgraded, i.e. accepted the new files:

5. Succesfful. Your old configuration saved to ....
6. Restarting exim4
7. Restarting mail fetcher fetchmail ...

I use nvidia drivers (legacy), with an old Nvidia Tnt 2.



When etch was testing, sometimes when legacy nvidia drivers were taken
out of testing, I had to use nv driver, and I didn't have any problem
at all, except for some screen savers, and some games.

Bingo!  Hugo, you are could be correct:



$ sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a -d ata /dev/hda
[snip]



SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 5
Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAG     VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE

231 Temperature_Celsius     0x0002   141   100   000    Old_age   Always
      -       39


Of course, I still don't know how to understand the SMART data after
many efforts to research this.  How could "worst" 100 be higher than the
141 Value?  And what about the values up to 239 reported above?  But
RAW_VALUE above is 39, so if that's celsius, that part makes sense.


Can we help you?X

I think /etc/courier/imapd _is_ the config file. Maybe, you
mean /etc/default/courier? That file is maintainer managed and subject to
change. Both files are sourced in /etc/init.d/courier-imap, so either way
should work.

/etc/courier/imapd says that "The value of IMAP_UMASK is simply passed to
the "umask" command." Seems like courier-imapd doesn't have to do anything
special about it.


Can't find what you're looking for?X

But it doesn't work.

Dear Debianists,



I have been working with an engineering modelling program called ASCEND.  
You can get it from sourceforge and it has a wikipedia page.


Confused? Frustrated?X

See:


http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/

I have a version of it compiled on my AMD64 box here that works OK courtesy 
of the kind assistance of one of the developers, John Pye.



I have been distracted with stuff for a while but I am eventually going to 
try to make a deb file for Etch for the AMD64 version of ASCEND and 
distribute it.



I have read a few web pages on making deb files and I guess there will be a 
steep learning curve involved to get the deb file checked out and registered 
(or whatever happens to them) by the Debian community.



However, the developers have made an Ubuntu deb file and put on the 
sourceforge site where it can be downloaded.  One of them suggested I try to 
get it to work under Debian Etch and see if it succeeds.  I have a 32 bit 
machine at work (AMD Duron 1200 MHz) that is running the i386 version of 
Debian Etch 4.0 (r0) and I am going to try installing the deb file and see 
how it goes.....



I downloaded the deb file from the following link:


https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=167528&filesize=4682680&filename=ascend_0.9.5.109-1feisty_i386.deb&36060585

There is also a deb file in there for Ubuntu Edgy that apparently uses the 
Debian sundials libraries...  Maybe that one would be easier to install in 
Etch.....



The other dumb question I have is what do I do with the single deb file?  
Normally I read loads of them in from the installation DVD's I burn from the 
iso files released by hte developers.



I have never done anything with an isolated deb file like this before.




Can I do something like apt install /home/mikef/ascend/ascend_edgy.deb  and 
it will work or is some other hocus pocus required?



Some useful information on building ASCEND in Ubuntu is here:


http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/Building_ASCEND#Ubuntu_6.10
>From looking at it I am not sure if all the dependent software will be 

installed automatically, I think I will have to do some manual stuff as 
well.



Comments appreciated.


Do you need help?X

I guess if I can get one of these deb files to work it could also be billed 
as a "new" Etch deb file.



Regards

Do you need more help?X

I was hoping I didn't have to resort to that
