    You snipped the relevant portion of that requirement.  Freemind (stat=
ed


mistakenly as Mindmap) and Storylines files were the examples I gave for
non-textual.  I started out the thread thinking that OOo could be version=
ed


since I knew it was nothing more than an XML document.  I did not know at=
 the


time it was compressed which would render it non-text to a versioning sof=
tware.



    I was quickly disabused of that misconception and was perfectly fine =
to


not have versioning via normal textual means.  In fact I then switched my=



thinking to how to get OOo to save uncompressed or have the versioning
software to handle OOo documents.  But if I can't get it versioned that's=
 no


big deal.

    To explain I mistakenly called Freemind Mindmap as it is mindmapping
software.  Storylines is a portion of a suite of software to help an auth=
or


keep track of the elements of fictional writing which is called Writer's =
Cafe.


 It would be what Writer is to OOo.

    Oh, I understand why.  The amusement came from the perception, correc=

not, that people would trust/respect my decision on two pieces and not th=

third.  I can assure you that there aren't many alternatives to Writer's

I just purchased a Shuttle XPC SN27P2 barebones system.
Chipset: North Bridge - Nvidia nForce 570 Ultra
Onboard NIC: Marvell 88E1116(10/100/1000Mbps) - I also added a Intel
Dual-Server NIC and disabled the Marvell



I tried installing Debian 4.0r0, 4.0r1 and a nightly test build and they
all suffer from the same problem; an extremely slow connection to the
internet (about dial-up speed - I have a 5Meg cable connection).



Yet, if I boot off of a PCLinuxOS Live CD the network works perfectly.



I've changed cables and network cards with no luck. I'm hoping someone
here will see something that I've overlooked.



Thank you.

Do you have some sort of duplex mismatch?  Ethtool or mii-tool will
report duplex status and Ethernet speed.

I don't believe there was a mismatch when I used ethtool.

Seems unlikely to me. We're talking about less change in the 4.1r1
release than happens in a given day in unstable. 37 packages were
updated for non-security bigfixes, and 34 for security fixes. Security
fixes shouldn't cause upgrade problems by definition, and the bug fixes
were all made with a stable update in mind.

I upgraded a box from sarge to 4.0r1 last month and it went just as
documented in the release notes.

That's why the code I posted test the DISPLAY variable before doing 
anything.

I'm having trouble understanding you. It sounds like you can boot in 
neither Linux no Solaris. I would advise using the live CD to boot the 
different O/S installations. Configure Grub once booted.

Neither do I.

Only one operating system should boot from the MBR (master boot record). 
  The others should boot from their partitions bootsectors (superblocks).

Use your live CD to boot either Linux and install Linux's Grub to the 
MBR. Then boot into Solaris and use its Grub to install Grub to the 
superblock of the Solaris partition.

You can then boot back into Linux and create a Grub boot stanza for 
chain-loading the Solaris bootsector (to boot Solaris).

Subject: Missing files in locatedb
Message-ID: <20070927173801.GD26644@llacolen.ciencias.uchile.cl>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline

Hello. Today I found a very strange problem. Some files seem to be
missing from locatedb database. 

It all started with one particular file I wanted to find. But 'locate
<word>' didn't find the file I was looking for. I went to the
directory it was supposed to be, and there it was!

I have a cron job to updatedb every night. In fact:

$ ls -l /var/cache/locate/
total 7020
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7173582 2007-09-27 06:26 locatedb

So it seems to be in order. The file I wanted was created in August. So?

In fact, none the files in this directory is in the database!

In case you're curious, the directory is named

~/textos/fisica/departamento_fisica/departamento

In /etc/updatedb.conf, there is the following line:

PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /amd /alex /var/spool /sfs /media"

So I don't think updatedb should omit this directory. In fact, none of
the files in any subdirectory of ~/textos/fisica/departamento_fisica/
is indexed!

I've made some random search of files in other directories, and they
seem indexed. In fact files in ~/textos itself are indexed. 

Some files in the original problematic directory have permissions
-rw------- (does updatedb respect this), but the file I was looking
for in the first place has read permissions for all.

I don't understand. Does any?

Regards,

Victor
