incorrect processor speed detection
I am running debian kernel 2.4.25 (in the form of demudi: 2.4.25-1-multimedia-686) on a toshiba portege 7140CT laptop (this message has also gone to debian-laptop but as yet i have had no replies) I am having a strange and very impeding issue which is that on boot the processor is sometimes misdiagnosed at a slower speed. I first noticed this because when this happens my machine really does run slower! So right now: Detected 258.834 MHz processor. (ooef!) and previously Detected 497.570 MHz processor. (which would be about right) also I've had a 381MHz detection. I've googled a bit, and have concluded that whilst it could be the bios settings relating to battery power-saving modes it is not actually this because i) the BIOS battery setting is set to proceesor speed=high ii) this problem doesn't seem to be related to being disconnected from AC power. Right now at 259MHz for example, I'm on the mains (& was at boot) This is slightly kookie, resolution only by random reboots, apparently. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks dee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
realtime modules problem, 2.6.6
Hello I'm running debian kernel 2.6.6 and am trying to get the realtime-lsm module compiled -without success. I first tried the non-debian instructions in the INSTALL file, when this didn't work, i tried apt-get install realtime-source and make-kpkg --append-to-version foo --added-patches=debian modules_image it failed, the output is below. (never having added extra third party modules in this way i then tried a whole recompile of the kernel with the same result, make-kpkg --append-to-version=foo --added-patches=debian kernel_image modules_image) my kernel config contains CONFIG_SECURITY=y # CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK is not set CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m # CONFIG_SECURITY_ROOTPLUG is not set CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y # CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM is not set # CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE is not set CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y # CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_MLS is not set tia for any tips on getting this working, dee - end output from make-kpkg dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux MODVERSIONS=detect KERNEL=linux-2.6.6.20040815b C OMMONCAP=none make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/realtime' make modules -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/realtime make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6' CC [M] /usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.o /usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.c:137: error: unknown field `bprm_compute_cred s' specified in initializer /usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.c:137: error: `cap_bprm_compute_creds' undecla red here (not in a function) /usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.c:137: error: initializer element is not const ant /usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.c:137: error: (near initialization for `capabi lity_ops.register_security') make[4]: *** [/usr/src/modules/realtime/realcap.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [/usr/src/modules/realtime] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/realtime' make[1]: *** [binary-modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/realtime' Module /usr/src/modules/realtime failed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Confusing sound issues (ALSA, jackd, etc.)
Inge - waves of empathy i had a very similar set of problems...finally found out about the realtime-lsm, but simply could not get the damned thing to compile,(see my mail of yesterday - maybe someone will still be able to help) so you were a step ahead of me... i am now trying with a demudi installan improvement for me, but it still is not doing all it should. What with that and a grizzly bug in audacity that means i can't edit with that either, i also contemplate throwing in the towel after a decade of *nix use... It really is still a bit of an uphill battle. Hopefully Agnula will produce something worthwhile, most importantly because they seem to be intent on producing documentation. good :) The problem at the moment seems to be that the different distros, and the 2.4/2.6 and all the 2.6's all are sufficiently different on the alsa/&c things to make any partial clues culled from google not always very useful. Do let us know if you have a breakthrough/insights. dee On Sun, 15 Aug 2004, Inge Thorin Eidsaether wrote: > > Hi > > I'm having a few problems getting jackd to work > on my Debian box (testing, kernel 2.6.7) > The soundcard is a Soundblaster Live. > > Sequencial summary (so far): > > ALSA seems to be working, that is: playback works. > Haven't tried recording yet.

cups printing problems: mozilla, gimp
i have a newly installed 2.4.20 kernel, running testing, and have a few new problems, as well a solution to some of my older ones! i have installed cups and have a usb printer. the printer (epson stylus 740, usb) is being seen by the computer (i can lpr a text file, on settings set on http://localhost:631/admin) however, i have two problems: i cannot print from either gimp or mozilla (1.5) mozilla v.1.5: there is apparently no recognition in the system that i have requested something to be printed. This doesn't seem to be (only?) a cups issue as I cannot print to a .ps file either. gimp v.1.2: ascii characters, not the image are printed from a png file i used as an example. I tried a re-installation of gimp-print from source, (by hand, not debian, having some vague recollection that i did this last time in my old kernel and it solved the problem) using ./configure--with-cups and was told: checking for cups-config... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for gethostbyaddr in -lnsl... yes checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes checking for SSL_new in -lssl... yes checking for cupsPrintFiles in -lcups... no configure: error: Cannot find CUPS libraries (libcups) So i was unable to solve the problem like that...
