What happened to 'permissions.rules?' [Re: Why does /dev/rtc0 belong to group audio in Lenny but not in Sid?]
Thanks, that answers the immediate question. Which rises the larger question... Sid does not seem to have anything that corresponds to Lenny's /etc/ udev/rules.d/*permissions.rules Any idea why? Any idea what has replaced it. Rick On May 12, 2010, at 4:32 AM, Sven Joachim wrote: On 2010-05-12... 12 May 2010 11:21

aptitude update thinks there are no updates! (solved by deleting apt/lists)
Hi all, After about a fortnight, I tried to update my Debian squeeze desktop, and I was using the mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in mirror. After downloading the repository lists, it tells me there are no updates -- I am surprised as I know that Gnome 2.30 is already in testing. Thinking that it could be a problem with the ... 12 May 2010 09:08

Trying to get a kernel patch included in Squeeze
Hello Debian Users, A regression introduced in kernel 2.6.30, where the beeps produced by the BIOS on power chord removal are disabled[1] was recently fixed for 2.6.33 which AFAIK will *not* be in Squeeze. I'm trying to get this issue fixed for Squeeze, but, since I'm aware that the Debian kernel team doesn... 14 May 2010 12:48

Why does /dev/rtc0 belong to group audio in Lenny but not in Sid?

libc6 upgrade lenny to squeeze failed, now dpkg is broken - SOLVED
Hi, Looking on http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libc-bin and clicking on the list of files for i386, shows that ldconfig should be in /sbin/.

Debian+KDE 4.4.3 (i915 dual screen) (SOLVED)
Xserver has a well known issue with the i915 driver and it's DRI/DRM limitation to 2048x2048 window size. So the default setup is not working because in recent versions of X it loads drm by default creating configuration that allows only "clone" of the primary display with DRI enabled on it. The ... 11 May 2010 20:08
