Virtual Terminals busted?

2004-09-29 Thread Joshua Narins
Switching between them has worked for me, for at least a year. Now it doesn't. Any ideas? Quickly, I boot into 1, and startx into 7, and can only see 1 again, and only if I exit the window manager. Thanks in advance, Josh P.S. Is there a program that will put the screen to sleep if I slide t

Bad Kernel prob

2004-03-04 Thread Joshua Narins
2.4.23 has an exploit, and I can't compile 2.4.25, or maybe I am just doing something retarded. This is very, very far along in the build process. if [ -x debian/post-install ]; then \ IMAGE_TOP=debian/tmp-image version=2.4.25-ben1 debian/post-install;\

I did an apt-get dist-upgrade a couple days ago, and couldn't reboot because of a bug in alsa-base (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=172583&archive=yes) The solution was to comment out the typo line in /etc/devfs/conf.d/alsa Was /bin/ed really the best editor I had? I didn't se

failing to compile kernel

2003-07-24 Thread Joshua Narins
I have done it plenty of times, enough to confuse myself. I had been unable to recompile the kernel for a while. Hopes that updates to gcc (although I am behind now) would fix the problem seem not to pan out. I have not prayed at any Debian(R)(Tmark) approved altars, too lately. PPC: 15" Power
