Hi. I had a crash on my laptop while running apt-get install. The main problem seems to be some minor filesystem corruption, concerning mainly the packages: libglib1.2-dev fdutils fftw2 The error message I get is basically: install-info: failed to lock dir for editing! No such file or directory

Pristine 2.2.19 kernel compile

2001-07-01 Thread Russell Hires
Well, it works! I got the Pristine 2.2.19 kernel from kernel.org to compile, and modules, and everthing! Of course, it's not all good: the tdfx module has symbol problems, even though it's present in the config and seems to compile and be installed in /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/tdfx.o...which is n

I have exactly the same problem. Exact same hardware configuration. Kernel 2.2.19 tho. I just built a 2.4.5 and gonna see if it fixes it (will know for sure, because mine "gives up networking" every 2-10 minutes.). For now what I do (in despair, because the machine is near-production website) is ad

This is a hardware problem with the built-in ethernet (I had the same problem with a beige G3 233MHz running LinuxPPC about a year ago). Here is what Apple has to say: A 10/100 MB auto-sensing hub polls the interface to determine the speed. In the process of the hub attempting to determine the in
