OK.  I have a C program using opencv that opens a jpeg file , inverts it 
and displays it.  I had tried to modify it to grab a frame from the 
camera, instead of a file, but it had not worked, hence, my last post.  
Today I tried again and now it seems to be working just fine.  I didn't 
do anything different, but it is working now, so I am happy.



Thanks to everyone who helped me get the correct driver compiled and loaded.

A good deal of the strace scrolls off the screen (strace
/usr/sbin/apache2 > strace.txt gives me a 0 length file), but, I
found 2 files that aren't there:
     /var/run/nscd/socket
     /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

I "touched" the second file and the error went away.  However, I
don't know anything about the socket.

OK, this is different from the bug I experience. Mine seems to have
something to do with setting the time with ntpd (where old and new time
vary a lot), hence the question about your connection. Here it's
triggered as soon as an internet connection exists.

Sorry that this doesn't help you! Regards,
Tobias

You can use "strace -o apache.trace /path/to/apache2" to save output to=20
apache.trace. You might also want to look at the timing options of=20
strace (-t -T and -r)

Is it bug for debian package? Should it be nvidia_drv.so?

I run m-a a-i nvidia , and the X fail to start.
the error message is can't find driver
dhh@freecity:~$ apt-file search nvidia_drv

After I download and install nvidia driver from homepage of nvidia,
the file name is nvidia_drv.so, It works for me.

Hello,

These packages look very intersting but I'm still using Sarge (kmuto.jp k=
ernel) on my Poweredge boxes.

Do you know if this repository will work on Sarge?

Thank you.

I found the culprit, but not the solution. There is the thinkfinger pam module
that allows login in using a finger print. Everything works fine for other
logins when trying to use the password, but ssh fails for some reason. the
entry in /etc/pam.d/common-auth:

auth    sufficient      pam_thinkfinger.so
auth    required        pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure

Any ideas how to make both work?
thanks

Are you able to run memtest86+ on the box, every time I have had weird
problems with daemons dying it has been due to flaky ram.

Might be worth ruling out.

Hello

(I haven't found an answer to this in the FAQ and Debian documentation 
or elsewhere (I did only look for two hours, though; maybe I haven't 
found the right place for advanced Debian documentation yet?).)

Is there a way for me to set up a script/hook locally for a particular 
package so that when that package is being upgraded (e.g. through 
security upgrades), that script/hook is being run automatically after 
the installation?

The reason I'm asking is (this time) that the file 
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/Encode/Unicode/UTF7.pm (in package "perl") has a bug 
(a needless warning that hurts me). Since I needed a fix quickly and 
didn't assume that it would be fixed in Debian stable anyway I just 
fixed it locally. Of course after an upgrade the issue returns. Similar 
situations have occurred repeatedly, so I'm looking for a general 
solution. (I'm not [yet?] looking for a way to automatically refetch 
source packages and patch and rebuild them instead of installing the 
binary package for the case where the sources of a compiled program need 
to be patched, albeit that would be interesting as well.)

Thanks,
Christian.

Try putting the pam_thinkfinger.so in /etc/pam.d/login instead of in
common-auth which many sections import.

If you are currently using "stable" entries and have already made
upgrades or installed any package after etch has been released, you are
most probably running a mix of etch and sarge already.

On official mirrors, "stable" always refers to the current stable
version which is etch now. By using "stable" in your sources.list, you
automatically receive packages from a new stable version as soon as it
is released. Running 'aptitude upgrade' in your situation should show a
lot of packages being "kept back". If this is the case, you should try
to do 'aptitude dist-upgrade' in order to bring your system to a
consistent state. You may have to run this more than once to resolve all
dependencies.

Since you appear to have already read the release notes, I don't think
there's anything else you need to do.

Correct.

Yes.

This second deb-src line seems to be redundand, but this isn't essential.

True.

- - Then modify your sources.list back to 'stable' or 'etch'.

Right.

My Etch machine at home is connected to a DSL service via a Netgear hub
(router) at home.  Sometime in the last two days, the machine lost its
network connection to the outside world.  It seems to be a software problem.
It had been fine since I built it in January.

Here's what I know:

1. If I boot from the XP partition, I have full internet service anywhere I
   try.  So the hardware seems OK.  There is only one NIC.
2. Running Etch, I can ping the router (192.168.0.1) and check its software
   configuration in iceweasel.  The router configuration is the same as it's
   always been.  It shows that the router has received an IP address
   (10.something) from the ISP.
3. I cannot ping or otherwise reach any site past the router by name or by IP
   address.  If I try, it times out.
4. Rebooting doesn't help.
5. The output of "ifconfig -a" looks normal.  It shows eth0 on 192.168.0.4,
   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST.  I can post the whole output if necessary.
6. I haven't done any upgrades with apt since five days ago, which is clearly
   before the problem started.
7. Nothing jumps out at me from dmesg or /var/log/messages.
8. I found the iceweasel cache files from my last successful browsing.  Then
   I used find to list every file on the system that had been modified since
   then.  Again, I didn't recognize anything scary.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to continue chasing this down.  It may
go slowly, since the problem is at home but my only connection now is at
work.

Thanks.
