Stallion ONboard multiport serial card with Sarge?
Hi, I've been trying to figure this out for several weeks with no luck. I changed over from Redhat with 2.2 kernel to Sarge. Great! But my hardware includes a Stallion ONboard ISA card. This worked fine before, but now I get: devfs_register(cue): could not append to parent, err: -17 ...when I try to load the istallion.o module. If I've done my homework well the difference seems to be that the new istallion.o uses devfs, while the old one used /dev/cuaE* & ttyS* files. I don't have devfs installed on my system, and it seems too complicated to install just to get this one driver to work. I'd much rather get a istallion.o or .c that works with 2.4 without devfs. I tried to compile the old istallion.c with the kernel-source for Sarge, but no surprise that didn't work. Not a coder so hacking the istallion.c and .h that comes with the kernel-source is way over my head. I've been searching like crazy, is there someplace I can look in hopes of finding the istallion driver for 2.4 that just uses the old /dev devices??? The company that bought Stallion doesn't support it anymore, but somebody out there has been updating the driver for newer kernels -- I just can't find them. Regards, DJ __ Do You Yahoo!?

versioning for custom packages
Greetings list, I am wanting to build custom packages of various utilities that are already in the Debian archive. Is there a recommended versioning system I should use while building these packages? I thought of using the word "custom" before the version number. blah-custom.1.0 but dh_make doesn't seem to like non numeric values in the version string. The version number would also have to be higher than that in the Debian archive as I wish to distribute the customized packages on to all the servers on my network, and I don't want them getting overwritten with an apt-get upgrade I had a quick look through the maintainers guide on this topic but didn't seem to find anything about numbering custom packages. Any suggestions on this subject are most welcome. Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Gimp 2.2.6 and "libpangocairo".
Please can someone help me. I was trying to update my GIMP and it stopped working. The GIMP 2.2.6 package seems to install OK but when you run it it wants to see "libpangocairo". Of which pango is available, but cairo is not in the Debian repository. Anything I have tried leads me to need yet other versions of packages that also are not found in the Debian repository. I have tried a few alternate sources for repositories but I seemed to mess up my system more and more as I chased down newer versions of packages. What is the solution to this? Am I stuck running GIMP on Windows? DJ Hack [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Gimp 2.2.6 and libpangocairo
Well, I tried a re-install of both (via apt-get) and looking in the /usr/lib directory there is no such file named "libpangocairo" real or symb link either. Do I have to make them? Link them to what?

Am I stuck running > GIMP on Windows? You could try to (re)install libpango1.0-0 and/or libpango1.0-dev. That should give you the following files and symlinks: libpango1.0-0: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1201.2 libpango1.0-0: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.la libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.a libpango1.0-dev: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so Note: I am using Sid; you will probably have a different version suffix for the first file (not "1201.2"). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Recommend an email program for the debian-user-digest?
Can anyone recommend an email program that works well when dealing with messages on the debian-user-digest list? I don't quite understand how the emails are put together. The email in the inbox contains attachments that are emails. Those email attachements I can open, but then those emails also contain more attached emails and those I can't open. I can't seem to hit the reply button to any of it. DJ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It tells me that the archives for today's backups already exist. The backups happen at 2AM every morning. No complaints otherwise!

Shutdown and suspend not working on laptop
I am having trouble with power management on my laptop. I cannot get suspend or shutdown to work, attempting either causes my laptop to have a black screen and not respond to any input and I am forced to manually shutdown by holding the power button. I am running Debian Squeeze with KDE. Shutting down I attempt through KDE's menu and through running "shutdown." Suspending I attempt by shutting my laptop lid on battery which causes it to "Suspend to RAM." My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ61. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
cannot start instalation of debian 31r1
Good day I have some interesting problem, when i try to install debian 31r1 to my laptop. Manufacturer is HP Compaq type Presario 2100. I was trying to install from debian cd. Internal cd-rom is out of order, so i'm using external one via usb. I get the boot screen, but when i reach the stage where i need to choose language, the keyboard isn't responding. If i chose the boot parameter "linux debian-installer/probe/usb=false" is goes ok, keyboard is working, but then i cannot mount cd, obviously i've chosen to not probe for usb. Any ideas how to solve that? Many thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
