Re: xfree86-common upgrade conflict with t1-cyrillic
It's Debian bug #270346. The workaround is to put a "hold" on the old version of xfree86-common until the bug in t1-cyrillic is fixed. That's why they call it "unstable." :) Frank On Thu, 9 Sep 2004 09:45:51 +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Hello list, > > trying to upgrade xfree86-common to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 dpkg returns the > following error message: > > > ---snip > Unpacking replacement xfree86-common ... > dpkg: error processing > /var/cache/apt/archives/xfree86-common_4.3.0.dfsg.1-7_all.deb (--unpack): > trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/X11', which is also in package t1-cyrillic > System startup links for /etc/init.d/xfree86-common already exist. > Setting up X server socket directory /tmp/.X11-unix...done. > Setting up ICE socket directory /tmp/.ICE-unix...done. > Errors were encountered while processing: > /var/cache/apt/archives/xfree86-common_4.3.0.dfsg.1-7_all.deb > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > ---snap > > i don't really understand what the message tries to tell me. > > any hints what to do. > > removing t1-cyrillic solves the problem but is not an option for me, btw > t1-cyrillic is version: 4.5 > > cheers float > > -- > --- >_|.''`.Florian Klinglmueller > ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | : :' :debian-ppc user > - against HTML email X| `. `'` > & vCards / \ | `- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Frank Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
7012-G30 - linux - netboot
I'm trying to get a Bull Escala ppc to run Linux. It's a 4 * 601 cpu, 512mb ram. The machine starts a bump firmware. I set the bootlist to first boot flop, then cd, then tape, then harddisk At the moment I've the machine trying to boot over ethernet, it's getting a bootp answer, and it tries to tftp a bootfile. There it goes wrong, no matter what i feed to the server, after 2 tftpblocks is gives a 231 status (System failed to IPL from the device chosen by the operator.) I set the blocksize of the tftp server to various values, no luck. I tried tp pass blocksize parameter to the bootp server, still no luck. Any ideas somebody? (Using dd to make a boot flop did not succeed, the server says that it's not a firmware disk. So that's why i got trying to netboot the machine first). Gr.

Kernel 2.6.9-rc1 and usb/scsi access
Hi I guess is not a PPC related question, but since i only use 2.6.9-rc1 in my ppc i will ask it here (also since i know Gildo is using it ;) After upgrading to 2.6.9-rc1 usb storage devices are shown as uda devices, which cannot be accessed thru the /dev/sd* scsi layer.

It could be both, but the easiest way to distinguish it would maybe be to try netbooting both of : http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd or http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd The one which works, well this one is it.

This driver is named ub, real driver is named usb-storage, ub is loaded since it is first in alphabetical order. For me the ub driver didn't work at all and switching back to usb-storage helped. -- Meelis Roos

How do I fix default catch errors?
When I try booting into Linux (the ppc version), I get "Default Catch!" when yaboot reaches the Apple OpenFirmware screen. The boot process freezes at that point. This is on a NewWorld iMac. Is there a solution less than reformatting the debian partition and reinstalling? Thanks. Ed
