It's not the same thing: your /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to the 
router, so the router implements a nameserver itself, and resolving an 
address is building two connections (or let's call it "network paths" 
(since UDP isn't offering connections)), one between your computer and 
your router and one between the router and upstream nameservers. Versus 
the ping case which only has one direct network path.

I am not sure if your problem is that you never successfully fully
connected or that you get disconnected intermittently.


Can we help you?X

If it never successfully connected then you probably need to replace your
psk value with a value coming out the tool wpa_passphrase. It will
output something like this:



$ wpa_passphrase goose test1232


network={


 ssid="goose"


 #psk="test1232"


 psk=835f1b84d6cc8a206ecd1d7ea6342c1841857db6da0c88e85f168fa0d5cfa88b
}



You should replace the psk with the value from that output.

Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

On an old box, which rarely gets much attention since it usually "just works".
It's my fault, no doubt. I looked at the sources.list before I ran the 
dist-upgrade, but it completely slipped my mind that the "testing" that was 
on the box was still etch, and I should have changed "testing" to "stable". I 
didn't, so now it's lenny.

Now, kdm opens the login screen, apparently at the maximum resolution of the 
monitor (1600x1200), but the video signal stops as soon as I log in. It 
blackscreens, then kdm reloads the login screen. I checked the xorg.conf file 
and tweaked settings, ran dpkg-reconfigure on it, and even tried running it 
with the old config file. There aren't any glaring errors from the driver 
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the only error reported is:

(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

The video card is:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3 (rev 01)

using the tdfx driver. This is correct. The config sets it up to run at 
1280x1024 24-bit depth, which is also correct. The monitor is a Viewsonic 
GT775.

I have never seen kdm successfully display a login screen when X wouldn't open 
a session. In my experience, if there's a bad X problem, kdm doesn't work 
either. Any ideas?

This is the third poll I've run, of course asking the same question of
"what's your favourite FLOSS", and I haven't ever seen a flame war
incited by it. In fact I have found it pretty helpful since it tends
to reveal various hidden gems. And by the way, popcon states which
software is most installed (and does not exclude essential stuff like
'tzdata' which I'm sure many users don't care/know about), and that's
a limitation. Doesn't that distinction make it worthy to run this
poll?

Hi

Any body has installed Debian Lenny/Sid on DELL D630 (T7250)?
I hit a problem on installing alsa package for driver of sound card.
It seems doesn't work and I can not startup alsamixer.

Is there an extra steps to configure the sound driver on this laptop? I have
it working on my PC machine.

Your information are really appreciated.
Or can anybody direct me to any resource I can refer to?

Thanks  a lot
Michael

Absolutely nothing is being logged to the PHP log.  Firewall is the
same as is running on the other machines (Shorewall, same
configurations).  The next time it goes down, I'll check lsof-i:80
and let you know.

I'm not certain yet, but it does _seem_ to be happening when a
WordPress 2.3.1 site is being accessed.  However, there doesn't seem
to be anything in the logs to indicate that.

well the semicolons are easy:

sed -i -e 's/^.*\; //' filename

this (untested) should match any string at the beginning of a line
endind with semi-colon/space and replace it with nothing. It will do
it in place on the existing filename, so make a copy first, so you can
confirm its behavior.=20

You need, in my opinion, to get this data into a more uniform format
to do much with it. And you need to decide a couple of things. Do you
want the numbers first or second. Do you want to sort on The whole
name? the last name? how do you want to handle things like ABC Travel?=20

Also, are these lines representative of all the data? can you rely on
the lines looking only like this and not having any other format?

soudns like its a kde error, not an xorg error. look in
$HOME/xsession.errors for clues. Also double check permissions on
/tmp.

Create a new user and attempt to log in as that user and see if the
problem persists with that user.

If you want it, you can get it from here:
deb ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/ ./

They have sources and images, realtime patched and regular and modules built 
for them as well.

This ftp can be frightfully slow, however.

Please CC me for that :-)

Another idea:

 * Create local mirror:
 * Rebuild package with epoch
 * Check update of upsream package.

Thanks to dulev and Jabka Atu, who both provided concise and cogent  
answers, I have now got this printer working perfectly on Etch.   
Sarge may be a bit more complicated, but I think that I have enough  
information to get that one working too.

Thanks!

Rick
