Is there some way to get the system to re-read the release file?  I
installed the key after I upgradeed the system to etch, so all
packages on my DVDs show as being unverified.  I have tried to get it
to clear that, but nothing I have tried has worked.  I also noticed
recently that some packages show multiple entries in aptitude, so
possibly clearing the entries would clear that.


Do you need help?X

I am not the OP, but this looks like it relates to my problem.

Lately (For the past month or so) I've been experiencing random system
crashes. My system would just completely lock up and not respond to
anything but a power-down (I've tried switching to TTY1, among other
things, but nothing works).

I don't even know where to start diagnosing this problem...I'm looking
for help on where to start. ANY help would be appreciated.

If you need any more information just ask, besides the fact that I'm
running Debian Lenny with a teeny bit of Sid (amd64 as well).

It may be this xorg freezing problem that some people have been
having. Can do a remote login? If so does everything seem to work
alright in the new session?

There was some discussion related to this on the list[1] a while back
and today on a blog on planet Ubuntu[2]. However, AFAIK no one has
come up with anything.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hello,

System lock ups are most likely related to some hardware interfacing 
problem. Look at the drivers you have installed, and remove them from 
the kernel. Then start adding them while trying to reproduce the problem.

Andrew,

This was almost too simple.  Many thanks!  I used aptitude to install
motion, and I discovered that the Debian maintainer had created and
installed a minimal configuration file "/etc/motion/motion.conf".  I
edited the configuration file to specify a non-zero port number (the
maintainer suggested 8000) for the mini-http server, and to change the
parameter webcam_localhost from "on" to "off" in order to enable
external access to the mini-server.  I then went to another machine in
the LAN, and I found the web cam image displayed at
http://hostname:port.

So, thanks to your recommendation, I now have a working system, and it
could not have been easier to implement.  Refinements can be made
later, when I have more time.  

P.S.  I went shopping for a web cam, and found the Philips
SPC900NC/27, which has a glass lens (not plastic) and good sensitivity
for extreme low-light conditions.  The SPC900NC was less expensive
than were many of the cameras which had plastic lenses.  I had an
image as soon as I plugged the camera into the USB port of my Debian
"testing" machine.  The driver (PWC) was already present.  The
installation and configuration was easier than is setting up a webcam
in Window$.

I did a full wipe of the entire drive before trying.  Note that the BSD
bootloaders wouldn't work either.  And yes, I used a 32 MB /boot
partition for debian, and for OpenBSD I put the whole / (contains the
kernel) in 500 MB.

Note that there is no problem on my 486.

I didn't dual boot WinXP - there is no WinXP on this system, only Debian
Lenny.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi,

I am facing a weird problem when trying to run iceweasel on a remote 
host through an ssh session. I have logged into the remote host using 
"ssh -Y <remote>" and at the prompt of the remote host, I ran iceweasel. 
However it appears that a local instance of iceweasel is started. There 
is no iceweasel/firefox process at all on the remote host. The only way 
I could get iceweasel to run on the remote host is by closing all 
instances of iceweasel already running on the localhost.

Is something wrong? If not, how do I run separate instances of iceweasel 
concurrently?

Both the systems run on etch, iceweasel-2.0.0.3

Thanks,
Raj Kiran
