I also use Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe; AMD X2 4000 (EE series); 2GB RAM=20

Hi,


Can we help you?X

anyone succeeded in building lazarus to use GTK2 widgets on Debian Sid 
AMD64? I followed the guide:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GTK2_Interface

but when I try to build I get an error:


make[2]: *** [../../units/x86_64-linux/gtk2] Error 1



Not very helpful. I have libgtk2.0-dev installed; FreePascal and lazarus 
sources as well. Actually I succeeded in compiling gtk only, but this is 
  the default, installed set anyway.



BTW, is any way to browse/install sources with synaptic?



Kind regards,


Michal R. Hoffmann

That would probably be a technically superior solution, but I don't=20

As silly as these questions are... I'm trying to convince upper-management
at my company to use Debian in our retail environment on thin-clients,
registers, and servers. I was wondering if there's a list of companies (if
not, maybe I could set one up) that use debian, or if other users might be
willing to testify that their company uses debian.

this gives me a file with a size of about 100k. but when i try to play it 
with:



        aplay file.wav
        


i get no sound. but aplay works fine with the files in /usr/share/sounds. 


Confused? Frustrated?X

is there a problem with arecord or aplay? is there another program which is

There's a big list here:

iWeb.com, my hosting provider, fully supports debian on their dedicated
servers, and even runs a local mirror (http://debian.iweb.ca/). :-)

This is very different from your target environment, but Iowa Telecom 
runs most of their internet servers on Debian. A few Redhat machines 
remain, but they will be switched to Debian when time allows.

I have the same problem here (just tried a few days ago; inspired by a
Linux Journal article). Also the KDE front end didn't work as expected.
File a BTS entry and let me know.

Thin Clients you say? 
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/12454-12454-321959-338927-89307-3221863.html

Server? Take a pick!
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/433096-0-0-0-121.html

I've nothing to do with HP, but they are a fine company for supporting
Debian. And should be rewarded with shameless plugs such as these.

Quotas for NFS shares are enforced on the server end.  You would use  
the usrquota and grpquota flags in fstab *on the server* for the  
filesystem it's exporting.  Hopefully your NAS appliance supports  
quotas and offers a way to turn them on in whatever configuration  
interface it has.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello all,

I'm still fairly new to Debian (<1yr). I'm using Etch. I update only
through the little asterisk alert that pops up on Gnome.  I use
fluxbox, so only log into Gnome occasionally. Last time, there were
many updates, including updates to Vim which I work in a lot.

So I'm curious. I thought with Stable (Etch at the moment) the only
updates automatically installed are security updates. And when I
search the changelog, it does not mention Vim:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/ChangeLog

My sources are:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main
# deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main
# deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free

So how did I get a new Vim under these circumstances?

Thanks for any explanation,

rd

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I've tried:

pci=3Dnommconf --- resulted in my normal problem, really slow =
internet/network speeds
pci=3Dconf1 ------ resulted in my normal problem, really slow =
internet/network speeds
pci=3Dconf2 ------ resulted in a kernel panic

Running either e100 or eepro100 didn't make a difference either.

having never tried arecord I tried it out - on lenny there seems to be
a problem in that it can't open the device. I haven't had a microphone
hooked up to this system (I have a SBLive card) in quite sometime -
since before the move in May, and this used to work.

I was about to suggest audacity, but that didn't work either - still
tells me that it cant open the sound device.

Of course, the thing has played sound with no problems - it's just
that I haven't had a need to use the microphone, but figured I might
as well give it a try.

What do you get using rec?
