"Illegal instruction" when running gnucash

Hi, when I'm trying to run gnucash, the splash screen opens and displays some information about loading modules. It then disappears, and the program crashes with an "illegal instruction" signal. This is on an iBook2.2 with an up-to-date Debian sid and a 2.6.4 kernel. I searched around a little b

[SOLVED] status of udev on powerpc

Hi, thanks to all that replied. It works now. Minor gotcha: I switched the X mouse device from /dev/gpmdata (I had gpm repeat mouse events) to /dev/input/mice, because I remember reading that with the new 2.6 kernel more than one processes can listen to mouse events and because udev did not crea

status of udev on powerpc

Hi, I tried udev (packaged from Debian) yesterday and was surprised how well it worked. Until I rebooted, that is. Turns out that my X Server won't start when using udev. I get a weird plasma effect, where the (console) content is still visible, but with patches of white that get brighter and b

X won't work after dist-upgrade

Hi, I just did a dist-upgrade, and the X server stopped working. The screen stays black except for a small strip of white in the middle that becomes brighter and brigher. I had this problem before when configuring my iBook, and fixed it by playing around with the usefbdev option, but that doesn'

fan noise with a 2.6 kernel on an ibook2.2

Hi, I tried booting the latest 2.6-benh kernel on my iBook2.2 and, voila, it works! One thing that is annoying though is the constant fan noise. With a 2.4.x kernel the fan would rarely be activated. I searched the archives to no avail. What I did find in the archives was this post though: htt

2.6 kernel on an iBook2.2

Hi, so far, I've been using a self-compiled 2.4-benh kernel. Unfortunately, I can't find a 2.6 version with his patches. Who is running a 2.6 kernel on an iBook2.2 and where can I get (patched) sources? Is the main tree good enough? Thanks, Viktor -- Wer hat eine alte Spiegelreflex-Kamera zu

Where to get 2.6.0-benh kernels

Hi, I've seen a couple of posts mentioning a benh version of the 2.6.0-test kernels. Where can I find that kernel? Do I need BitKeeper or is there a CVS gateway? Are there any (inofficial) packages for bitkeeper for Debian? Thanks, Viktor -- Hormonell auf Autopiloten schalten. pgpNcJAEW3Lje

Re: 2.6.0-test5 (benh bitkeeper)
