Re: Problem with Micron Transport Trek 2 and DMA
Sorry about not listing the kernel version it is a 2.4.27-i686. I do not have anywhere to disable DMA for the hardware. It tried disabling it via the kernel option at boot time but that did not help. Turning off DMA using hdparm did not help either. I have not tried 2.6.x yet but I guess that is my next step.

Don't know what policy thinks about this, but from my own experience: .xinitrc is used when you use a plain startx or similar to start your xserver and related things. .xsession should be executed by your session manager (gdm, kdm, xdm) after the user has logged in. I'm not quite sure where there is a relationship between both, maybe one uses another as a fall back. For more info about this I advice you to read the docs of gdm, kdm, xdm .. whatever.

They serve to do similar things from different starting points. Rather like asking do I take the highway North or the expressway East? It all depends upon from where you are starting. > Don't know what policy thinks about this, but from my own experience: > .xinitrc is used when you use a plain startx or similar to start your > xserver and related things. More precisely .xinitrc is used by the 'xinit' program. That connection should be clear. Once upon a time (still common today) users would log into a text console and start X with 'xinit'. The 'xinit' program would read ~/.xinitrc for startup commands. In that script you would start your window manager and possibly other things. That is good for the user who has a .xinitrc file. But what about those that don't have one? In that case xinit uses a very basic default and starts up on xterm. In the case of a new user this is very stark. There is no window manager or anything else running. Systems wishing to make this better for the user with no files offer 'startx'. This is simply a script which looks to see if the user has a .xinitrc file and launches xinit if they do. But if the user does not have customized files then startx falls back to using system provided startup files and starts xinit with the system files instead. This can provide a nicer interface as a default for users without any customization at all. When there are no user customization files is the configuration when 'startx' makes things nice. It is a simple pass through to xinit when there are user customization files. This is a simplified description of events. > .xsession should be executed by your session manager (gdm, kdm, xdm) after > the user has logged in. Yes! That is it. The graphical login manager runs the ~/.xsession if it exists and falls back to a system default if it does not. This is more similar in functionality to startx because it will use bigger, hopefully reasonable, system defaults if no user customization exists. > I'm not quite sure where there is a relationship between both, maybe one > uses another as a fall back. For more info about this I advice you to read > the docs of gdm, kdm, xdm .. whatever. 'xinit' is a simple direct engine to start X. 'xinit' uses .xinitrc to customize it. 'startx' is a script wrapper to make running that engine run more friendly by providing system defaults. 'xdm' (and kdm, and gdm) is the next generation and combines previous functionality and uses .xsession or system defaults to customize it. Logging in on the text console and starting X: If I have no files I use 'startx' to get system defaults. If I have custom files I use 'xinit' because 'startx' no longer buys me anything. Although many people always use startx regardless. This route uses the optional ~/.xinitrc file. Logging in on the graphics console with X already running: This route uses the optional ~/.xsession file. Two different routes from different starting places to the same ending destination.

I'll just point out a general approach on what to do if there is some problem during an upgrade. First you need to see if there are any packages in at "bad" state.

Do the following: `dpkg --configure --pending' After that, run `dpkg --audit' again so make sure everything is now ok. Then finally, to make sure that all packages really were downloaded and installed, try running the upgrade again: `apt-get upgrade' or `apt-get dist-upgrade' Cheers, Nick. -- Debian 3.1 Linux twofish 2.6.8-looxt93c3 i686 GNU/Linux signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Don't know what policy thinks about this, but from my own experience: .xinitrc is used when you use a plain startx or similar to start your xserver and related things. .xsession should be executed by your session manager (gdm, kdm, xdm) after the user has logged in. I'm not quite sure where there is a relationship between both, maybe one uses another as a fall back. For more info about this I advice you to read the docs of gdm, kdm, xdm .. whatever.

Dell 8600 gdm startup problem
Hi my laptop battery ran out of power whilst I was in X mode (using gdm not xdm). When I rebooted, it failed to start the Xserver. how can i fix the problem? (am using XFree86 version 4.3.0.1(Debian 4.30.dfsg.1-4.2040529113443)) cheers wendy
Re: Problem with Micron Transport Trek 2 and DMA
Sorry about not listing the kernel version it is a 2.4.27-i686. I do not have anywhere to disable DMA for the hardware. It tried disabling it via the kernel option at boot time but that did not help. Turning off DMA using hdparm did not help either. I have not tried 2.6.x yet but I guess that is my next step.

They serve to do similar things from different starting points. Rather like asking do I take the highway North or the expressway East? It all depends upon from where you are starting. > Don't know what policy thinks about this, but from my own experience: > .xinitrc is used when you use a plain startx or similar to start your > xserver and related things. More precisely .xinitrc is used by the 'xinit' program. That connection should be clear. Once upon a time (still common today) users would log into a text console and start X with 'xinit'. The 'xinit' program would read ~/.xinitrc for startup commands. In that script you would start your window manager and possibly other things. That is good for the user who has a .xinitrc file. But what about those that don't have one? In that case xinit uses a very basic default and starts up on xterm. In the case of a new user this is very stark. There is no window manager or anything else running. Systems wishing to make this better for the user with no files offer 'startx'. This is simply a script which looks to see if the user has a .xinitrc file and launches xinit if they do. But if the user does not have customized files then startx falls back to using system provided startup files and starts xinit with the system files instead. This can provide a nicer interface as a default for users without any customization at all. When there are no user customization files is the configuration when 'startx' makes things nice. It is a simple pass through to xinit when there are user customization files. This is a simplified description of events. > .xsession should be executed by your session manager (gdm, kdm, xdm) after > the user has logged in. Yes! That is it. The graphical login manager runs the ~/.xsession if it exists and falls back to a system default if it does not. This is more similar in functionality to startx because it will use bigger, hopefully reasonable, system defaults if no user customization exists. > I'm not quite sure where there is a relationship between both, maybe one > uses another as a fall back. For more info about this I advice you to read > the docs of gdm, kdm, xdm .. whatever. 'xinit' is a simple direct engine to start X. 'xinit' uses .xinitrc to customize it. 'startx' is a script wrapper to make running that engine run more friendly by providing system defaults. 'xdm' (and kdm, and gdm) is the next generation and combines previous functionality and uses .xsession or system defaults to customize it. Logging in on the text console and starting X: If I have no files I use 'startx' to get system defaults. If I have custom files I use 'xinit' because 'startx' no longer buys me anything. Although many people always use startx regardless. This route uses the optional ~/.xinitrc file. Logging in on the graphics console with X already running: This route uses the optional ~/.xsession file. Two different routes from different starting places to the same ending destination.

What I do not understand is why the card would show up, but it will not connect. ski I don't understand it either. If the card shows up like that with iwconfig, all you should need is an IP configuration for it to work, assuming ESSID and WEP is configured properly.
