Package search engine pb ?
the search engine at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages seems not to be working from a long time. Is there any plan to make this search engine working back ? Do we have to use an other search engine ? I have tried rpmseek.com which is presented as the new search engine. All the packages I tried where not found (ex : zaptel) So what ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is my setup, just in case it adds to the info the others provided : *Laptop : Compaq Presario 1610 *Desktop : Olidata (it is an Italian assembled PC) *Debian 2.2 (also worked with 2.1) *kernel : 2.2.13 with enabled Character devices->Support more than 4 serial ports, and Character devices->support for sharing serial interrupts. I'm not sure this is needed, but when inserted the module says 'Lucent Modem driver version 4.27.5.66 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled', so ... *MAKEDEV /dev/ttyS14 ( type character, major number 62, minor number 78 ) *ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem *On the laptop only, I had to create the file /etc/rc.boot/9ltmodem as follows : insmod -f ltmodem 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null setserial /dev/ttyS14 irq=3 port=0x02f8 uart=16550A [NOTE : setserial after insmod!] *On the desktop, I only need to do insmod -f ltmodem The modem works fine, though it uses quite a lot of CPU.

This is the only 'autonomous' decision of dselect I'm aware of. To prevent this, you can put in hold (=) packages that you don't want to upgrade (you can also put in hold whole sessions, pressing = while being on a session header line). Ciao. - FB

That is what I did, and I had no problem. pcmcia-source may not be the latest ( and so may lack support for the newest sockets/cards) but it is in synch with the kernel used by debian (assuming that you use kernel-source package or the equivalent kernel tarball). > i make sure to choose install all > so all modules would be made. > > anyway > > now the debian package hangs on the > "cardmgr" > when i run test_setup > it says no socket drivers loaded > but says i have pcmcia modules installed > > > so now, i need help in figuring out > why CARDMNGR hangs at boot up (horrible- i have to unplug the laptop) > > i read the pCMCIA HOWTO and it says something about if cardmngr hangs > you need to changea CORE_OPTS but i jhave no idea what file they are > talking about > > any appreciate all your help as usuall > > > i also looked at /pcmcia/debug and used ./test_setup > and it tells me that i dont have socket drivers loaded > ok so i loaed the i8235 drivers > > but then here is where it hangs, when i do a ./cardmgr or a ./probe > under /pcmcia/cardmgr > > it hangs horrible > > Sorry, can't help here. My pcmcia works out-of-the-box (once I build the debian package from pcmcia-source and Install it) and then I never needed to go in depth. Again, on debian-laptop you may find someone with your same model (if yours is a laptop,that is) HTH Ciao - FB
Pb with TEKRAM SCSI PCI driver
First of all : I'm a Linux beginer I have got the file "dc395-141.tar.gz.tar" Decompressed it patch the kernel sources 2.4.18 launch "make-kpkg" and got errors at the scsi driver compiling phase : make -C scsi modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/drivers/scsi' ld -m elf_i386 -r -o scsi_mod.o scsi.o hosts.o scsi_ioctl.o constants.o scsicam.o scsi_p roc.o scsi_error.o scsi_obsolete.o scsi_queue.o scsi_lib.o scsi_merge.o scsi_dma.o scsi_ scan.o scsi_syms.o gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno- trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-st ack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 /include/linux/modversions.h -DKBUILD_BASENAME=dc395x_trm -c -o dc395x_trm.o dc395x_trm.c In file included from dc395x_trm.c:260: dc395x_trm.h:68: parse error before `:' dc395x_trm.c: In function `DC395x_bios_param': dc395x_trm.c:2445: warning: implicit declaration of function `scsicam_bios_param_Rsmp_dee45ea1' dc395x_trm.c: At top level: dc395x_trm.c:7898: stray '\' in program make[2]: *** [dc395x_trm.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/drivers/scsi' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_scsi] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/drivers' make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 So, what have I to do ? And : why do I have to recompile the whole kernel and not just to build a new module and then manually "modprobe" it ?
