Geez, never knew this package existed. Pulls quite some dependencies but

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

One option as you stated is to upgrade to unstable and get open office 2.2
from there. Another choice is to install it from backports. According to
http://backports.org/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/ openoffice 2.2 is
available in backports. It is up to you as to which option you choose.

Hello!

I tried now to connect to the Debian machine via FTP but this doesn't work.

In FileZilla (on Windows machine), I'm getting following error:

Status:	Connecting to 169.254.216.106 ...
Status:	Connected with 169.254.216.106. Waiting for welcome message...
Error:	Disconnected from server
Error:	Unable to connect!

I suppose that I have to

a) make sure that FTP server actually runs on Debian machine and
b) there are FTP user on the FTP server.

Question: How can I do that?

TIA

Dmitri Pissarenko

Add the "-D" option to get brief explanations for automatic installs and
removals. These are the conflicting packages for the testing version of
digikam:

Conflicts: digikamimageplugins, kipi-plugins (<= 0.1.3~rc0), libkexiv2-0, libexiv2-0.12

Digikamimageplugins is now included in digikam (see below). You have to
wait for a newer version of kipi-plugins to come to Lenny (or you can
install the Sid version now).

BTW, I just discovered that aptitude has recently learned a nifty new
trick, the "why/why-not" command:

$ aptitude why-not digikamimageplugins
i   kde-extras Recommends digikam
p   digikam    Conflicts  digikamimageplugins

This is really useful to figure out what is going on with complicated
dependency issues. It is currently only available to Sid users, though
(aptitude version 0.4.5.3 or higher).

This information is often included in the package description. For
digikam you can find this:

"All plugins previously provided by the digikamimageplugins package are
 now included in this package."

Failing that, you can download and read the changelog of the package
before installing or upgrading.

Hi,
I was using 1280x768. But after a reboot, my scrren
changed to 640x480. Then, I went to Desktop |
preference | Screen Resolution and tried to change the
resolution back. But the drop down box did not work.
The entry just stayed blue and did not show the rest
of selections for the screen resolution. I was not
able to change it back.=20
Any idea?

Thanks

The same problem appears sometimes with VMware.

The obvious solution:
1. Install and configure ntp in your guest. This should fix the drift=20
after startup.
2. Configure your windows to use a time server. You can do this with=20
windows itself or you can use ntp for windows. For example:

NTP timeservers are provided by nearly each university and some big=20
companys. Take a look at  http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome=
.

That does sound like it.

I don't know what is in pattern #7 but if it runs on other machines
and fails to run on the laptop that would still seem to indicate a
problem on the laptop.  I would be very nervous about it.

Things may still be okay with the machine though.  You are not to root
cause yet and therefore the behavior not 100% explained does not mean
it is broken.  It does not succeed either and so that still leaves a
nervious suspicious behind.

How does it run on tests #8 and beyond?  Any other bad hits?

I would also try with different ram configurations.  How much ram is
installed?  If you have two dimms can you pull one, test, swap, test?
Does the failure happen with both dimms or just one?  If you only have
one dimm can you swap with another dimm from elsewhere and again
does it work or fail?  For speed of testing I would try the smallest
dimm that I could find.  A 64MB dimm should speed through memtest86
much faster than a 1GB dimm and you can more quickly get through a
full pass.

Yes.  Hmm...

Good luck

So what about a virtual box as a firewall?  That virtual box may have
less on it but it exists in the same physical box as everything else.
Doesn't the virtualization mean that there is one more thing that could
have a vulnerability?

In general, I agree with you and with old boxes being free it makes
sense that once one has more than a couple of boxes to have a spare box
as a firewall.

I noticed there was an upgrade to the ndiswrapper source code and tools
so installed them and m-a'ed a new ndiswrapper module into the kernel.
Voila,  problem solved.

So, to whoever the developer is that is responsible for maintaining
ndiswrapper, Thank you.

You have solved but you didn't explain how you have made it,  and I
know dozens of people that are still knocking the wall with their
heads  because they don't know how to solve it.
You have given no   information on how you have solved .

Can both boxes connect to other boxes on the net?  Are the cables good
and do you get connection lights on the NICs?

Can you connect or get a response from the debian machine any other way?
Can you ping?  Can you ssh?  Can you pop?  Does the debian machine have
an FTP server running with an open port on the network from which you're
trying?  Do either box have a firewall and if so are they allowing the
connections?

My system has been quite stable for the past year and half.  I've 
recently upgraded the kernel from 2.6.12 to 2.6.18-4-k7.  I'm running an 
AMD 64 Athlon 3200+ (yes with a 32-bit kernel).  I attempted to install 
the modules for nVidia, IVTV, and LIRC.  LIRC didn't go so well, so I 
tried to back it out...but I'm still seeing messages for it during boot 
time.

But first things first...here's the first error message I see during boot:

kobject_add failed for audio with -EEXIST, don't try to register things 
with the same name in the same directory.
  [<c01b90ce>] kobject_add+0x146/0x16c

Here's a link to my entire dmesg output:

I'm new to kernel upgrades so any ideas explaining the error messages is 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help,

sure. I view it as one additional vulnerability versus the many
potential vulnerabilities of a full system. But I am no security
expert by any stretch of the imagination.=20

I'm all for the old boxes, but at some point the power becomes an
issue... much better to have one box running at high capacity than
lots of boxes sitting around spinning fans...=20

Wonderful new features! I just noticed that 0.4.5.4-1 is now available 
in Testing. Going to upgrade right away.

Since Etch hasn't been stable for a year and a half, we need some
basics:

contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list
contents of /etc/debian_version

When last you did a successful update/upgrade cycle and what package
manager you use.

Ah yes. Took me a while to figure it out: the solution is the -i option w=
hich
outputs the MIME type instead of a generic description:


> $ file -i foo.odt=20
> foo.odt: application/x-zip

We're talking about the same report.  What I meant was that even before
the fixes, the messages in the report indicated that file was reporting
zip, and their problem was that they wanted file to report ODT.  My
problem is that file doesn't even seem to realize that it's looking at
a zip archive.
