problems after upgrade

[Fred J.]

Hi

I am running debian/testing with kernel 2.6.15

In my /etc/sources.list I have basically 2 lines,

Deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

Deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing/ testing/security-updates main contrib non-free

 

The box has been working very well for the last 8 months and has gone through many $apt-get update upgrades, , This morning I ran $sudo apt-get update and upgrade.

 

First thing I noticed, I lost the ability to brows and to apt-get,

in the browser I get connection has timed out.
in the aptget I get 0%[Connecting to http.us.debian.org (1.0.0.0)] and nothing happend.

I checked and both my /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts are the same before and after the upgrade.
the win2k laptop I am on now is connected to a switch which is connected to the debian box which in turn connected to the idsl/router which is connected to the wall.

I tried to fix it by rebooting the debian box, and noticed a line during rebooting saying "iPV6 over iPV4 tunelling device"
failed

Second thing I noticed is when I click on items on the screen to do something “icewm” it takes few seconds to respond.

Never was like this before.

 

Third thing I noticed is,

$emacs

opens and then flashed like a vagas night show.

When I move the mouse on the aterm, it scrolls lines and flashed like the screen has been hit by a terrorist attack.

which I did not notice before.

I switched to my good old shell with no xwindow and it works fine.

 

What is the go with this.

 

Thanks
