This is a known issue with Latitude C600's. I replace these quite often @ my J
O B ;)
Dell generally sends out the keyboard(for the touchstick), and the palmrest(for
the touchpad) as a replacement. Honestly though the problem is really related
to the keyboard only. The touchstick has some issues with the solder joints
there.. Give Dell a call, and they should take care of you, if that guy is
still under warranty, though the part is not very expensive to purchase, if
need be.

RE: apt-get problem

[Gustavo Halperin]

Hello Ben.

 First, I have ask you if you are doing the update/upgrade from CDs or
from the net. I personally think that is more secure the Net, especially
if you aren't using the stable version (woody).
  Next your problem looks like that your source (CD or Net) are not
consistently. Therefore, you can easy fix it manually. Just write down
the packages that can't be installed (e.g. libkcal2 ) and take this
packages from debian home page (see [1]) with the same version like is
request or with a bigger one and then upgrade yours or just remove and
install again the correct ones (dpkg -remove, dpkg -install).

 And I repeat, the best way for do 'update' and next 'dist-upgrade' I
believe it from the Net, in my experience the CDs for the test version
commonly have inconsistently like in your problem. Therefore in the
result of  [1] you get the knows mirrors of Debian arround the world,
just add the more close to you to your source file (I think that is
'/etc/apt/sources') and try first do this place the 'apt-get update' and
after the 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.  BTW, you can add many mirrors, and
not just one.


[1] From: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages
   choose the "testing" version and write the package name.
  For example the package 'libkcal2 ' is currently in the version
4.3.3.1-3.

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me with this...

I have an old(er) laptop that I use as a router, I recently ran an
apt-get upgrade on the laptop from stable to testing which returned the
following error:

I have attempted to use --fix-missing & -f to no avail, I have attempted
to remove everything to do with kde & openoffice (being a router I don't
use either of these) and get the error:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

how on earth do I get around this? I seem to now be at the position that
I can no longer install or remove anything via apt, which is getting
very frustrating...

any suggestions

apt-get -f problem

[debian-laptop]

Hi all,
problem solved using dselect (didn't have aptitude on machine)
using just apt-get to remove each offending package seemed to be heading 
into dependency hell, but dselect managed to work it out for me.

thanks for all of your suggestions

As a last resort, you may have to delete this file manually.
First check out what other files exist in the directory, use this information 
to make an estimate of whether the file is needed.

It is possibly a good idea to do a backup of the directory, before you delete 
anything.

Hello Arjen,
  Do you have acrobat reader or any other pdf reader installed as a

crash with pdfs anymore.

Additionally, power management seems to work pretty well with the

though. Suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-ram work great for me with

make-kpkg won't compile thinkpad-source

[Karl Ebener]

Hi!
I have an IBM Thinkpad R50 and I want to use the tpctl tools. I
installed thinkpad-source and thinkpad-base. As far as I understood it,
when compiling a kernel with make-kpkg, the thinkpad-modules should be
compiles from thinkpad-source "automatically". Unfortunately, when I execute
---:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg --revision=0.01
--append-to-version=.07032005 modules-image
I get the following output:
for module in  ; do   \
  if test -d  $module; then\
(cd $module;  \
  if ./debian/rules KVERS="2.6.11.07032005"

Maintainer"\
 KPKG_EXTRAV_ARG="EXTRAVERSION=.07032005"
  \
 ARCH="i386"  \

  echo "Module $module processed fine";\
  else  \
   echo "Module $module failed.";  \
   if [ "X" != "X" ]; then  \
  echo "Perhaps $module does not understand
--rootcmd?";  \
  echo "If you see messages that indicate that it
is not"; \
  echo "in fact being built as root, please file a
bug ";  \
  echo "against $module."; \
   fi;  \
   echo "Hit return to Continue";   \
 read ans;\
  fi;   \
 );\
  fi;  \
done
I found out, that the lines come from the script
/usr/src/linux/.debian/rules but I cannot figure out what is wrong. I
use the 2.6.11-kernel-sources from kernel.org, but I tried the
kernel-source-2.6.10-Debian package as well
What am I doing wrong?
Tnx in advance

You can get the free acrobat reader from www.adobe.com.  Its the version 
5.0.10.  An easy way to get it is to go to about:plugins and select the 
adobe acrobat reader from the list of linux plugins available.

I've read a few interesting stories here and there about adobe having a 
newer version in closed beta that improved things quite a bit.

Re: make-kpkg won't compile thinkpad-source

Hmmm...  Have you compiled your copy of thinkpad-source before, against
another kernel?  I've found that I need to nuke the source dir
(/usr/src/modules/thinkpad) and re-extract it from the tarball when I
want to compile it against a new kernel.

First you have to unpack the source tarball manually.

   cd /usr/src
   rm -rf modules/thinkpad
   tar zxvf thinkpad.tar.gz

use the 2.6.11-kernel-sources from kernel.org, but I tried the

What am I doing wrong?

I confirm that Centrino is supported by sarge. Two days ago, I installed 
the ipw2200 driver on an Asus A3n15 laptop, and now the wifi is working 
as expected. I just had some trouble to configure it. For the 
installation of the driver, I followed the procedure indicated in
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-13576.html

For the configuration, I took the configuration that I had obtained by 
installing ubunty warty on an Asus Travelmate 4001MLi, and I copied the 
following lines in file /etc/network/interfaces:

# The wireless network interface
auto eth1

wireless_name Wifi Link
wireless_essid put-here-your-essid
wireless_key ZZ
wireless_mode Managed

installing from hard drive and network

[Jeff Mikels]

Can someone help me 
please? I'm trying to install debian on an old laptop (sony vaio-505g) 
without a floppy drive and without a cd-rom drive--therefore, the installation 
needs to be from hard drive files and network.
 
However, I've tried 
sarge, 2.6, idepci, woody, and none of the installer scripts are working for me. 
Most of them crash with a Kernel Panic telling me that the root fs can't be 
mounted on 01:00.
 
I've doublechecked 
the paths and the .bat file and all that, but I can't get past the root fs 
mount.
 
Anyone willing to 
coach me?

I'm willing to give it a shot, but only for the new Sarge installer, not 
the old Woody boot-floppies.
For that, I would suggest to take the subject to the debian-boot mailing 
list.

What (if anything) do you have running on the system currently?
Does the laptop have working networking?
Do you have access to a partitioner that you could use to create linux 
partitions?

Cheers,

yes, you need to 
instal the SD card driver from dell's website...it's listed as the Texas 
Instrument SD card driver...sounds like you reformatted your HD, b/c the drive 
should have worked off the bat unless you reformatted or replaced the HD..it is 
not connected the the PCMCIA...it has its own chipset

Re: 700m SD driver link

[Benedek Frank]

Yes, but this is for Windows, and this is a Debian forum, hence I was looking 
for a Linux driver. 

Thanks for the link though, I wish they had a Linux driver as well.

There has been some talk on the Linux kernel list of including an open
source SD card driver into the MMC card framework present in the most
recent 2.6 releases.

You can probably expect to be able to have this supported within six
months through freely available drivers.  Previously, concerns about
patents and licensing held up availability of the driver kit.

[peace under the tree]

Dear All
I bought a C3 Via 1G processor, however, I don't know whether it is
supported with the Linux OS. Anyone knows about it?

Thank
