Downgrade libxi6 -- HowTo? (Bug 515734)
Greetings, fellow Debianites! I've recently installed Debian 5.0.3 on my other machine and am experiencing bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515734 (keymaps messed up in X). Now, the suggestion is to downgrade the libxi6 library. I have several "noob" questions about that: 1. How do you go about "downgrading" a package in Debian -- especially if it's a fresh system that's never been "upgraded" in the first place? 2. Won't the Debian maintainers fix the issue in a future official update anyway? Wouldn't "downgrading" the package on my own accord potentially interfere with such official update? 3. How come there still hasn't been such an update? The bug is marked as "grave" and it probably wouldn't be hard for the maintainer(s) to force the reccommended downgrade of the libxi6 library in a regular update? Forgive my noobness, but I still haven't quite grasped the Debian procedures and mechanisms. But I'm doing a lot of reading, so I hope I'll catch up in time. I already know how to open a terminal and type "ls". TIA -- Certifiable Loonix User 481801 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Building a 2.6.30 kernel that does NOT require initrd
Greetings- Using a .config file based on past kernels that have worked fine (posted at http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/config), I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.30 for an amd64 machine and NOT using initrd.

Re: apt, aptitude: By default purge config of removed packages ?
On the other hand, this is a continuous upgraded system at least since woody, no fresh install. Maybe that's why there was no 00local file at all until now.

On questions like this you will get several answers from different people that they are fully satisfied with their solutions. (Xen, KVM, Virtualbox and and and) For myself I use Xen, KVM and VMWare Server. All three have disadvantages but they work great for me and my servers. For me Xen is the most reliable and feature rich technology but the Linux kernel folks do not like the code. KVM might be the shooting star in the Linux Kernel world, but I think it is a bit new and misses some feature Xen already has. VMWare Server has a higher demand on hardware but easier to setup.

Re: Car / Bike Maintenance Software
Maybe this is just me showing my ghetto side, but I took the Haynes manual and my car's owners manual for scheduled maintenance and made a spreadsheet that I print on 11x17 paper to log date and miles at time of maintenance. I know every spring and fall it's maintenance time, so I don't have a need for a reminder function but if I did I'd just add an event to my calendar that repeats every 6 months. As a bonus, the stains on the paper log from various automotive chemicals are like badges of honor. :) Mark On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 2:48 AM, Mathieu Malaterre < mathieu.malate...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I am looking for a software for logging my bikes maintenance.

It is also seen in many SSDs (it's a phenomenon referred to as "stutter"). There's not much you can do about it, IIUC. Stefan The problem is essentially (it's actually a bit more complicated, but essentially) that the flash RAM fills up with un-erased pages and has to be garbage-collected. Because the flash controller doesn't know the details of the host's file system, it uses a naive brute-force garbage collection algorithm. Hence "stutter". There's a protocol standards revision in the works, called TRIM, that will allow the host to tell the flash what parts of the file system can be erased and what it needs to keep. This will allow smarter garbage collecting, which can happen in the background. Flash SSDs with the TRIM feature are planned to be available in 2010. It may take a while after that for Linux to be able to use it effectively. I don't know what (or even "if") the time-frame will be for getting TRIM into USB sticks.
