querying install times on packages

Recently I ran into a problem on my machine at home. I had made an update of several packages and something went wrong. What I need is a way to query all installed packages by their install date. I couldn't find any existing tools like dselect, synaptic, or aptitude that would let me do this

StartX fails

When I run StartX from my user account it looks like it is starting up, the screen goes blank, then I get an error "Fatal server error: no screens found". I thought this was due to not having the proper video driver initially but have fixed that problem and still get the error.   Any ideas?

Re: network working one way only?

You could also try installing the shorewall package. Shorewall does a very good job of keeping me from breaking my iptables setup. Chris M. On Mon, 21 Jun 2004 13:29:51 -0400, richard lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Monday 21 June 2004 13:07, Antony wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 21, 2004 at 12:

Re: 3 gigs enough?

3 gig is more than enough for a simple setup. However, if you're going to run Eclipse, you might be starved for CPU cycles on a CPU that slow. How much memory do you have? I've had bad experiences running Eclipse (and its big brother Websphere Application Developer) on machines with less than 512m
