I had one arch-specific bug (which was fixed by check the bugtracker and edit a config file) but beside that no problems (less those I made by playing around). This is for ppc64-arch, I expected more trouble (kudos to debian-team). For non-critical systems I personaly consider squeeze 'ready for use' (but I wont let my mailserver use it until its stable ;-p) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREIAAYFAkwipoEACgkQpjmLjrU66/7JmAD/dZ7Zndl72wiPkDW08hEdxI4i SfQsHmOgXLR0KrP1qiQBALRjBHi7ZJoJxRtBtiamSB8eH1Vn/TreF1LejSrwh1bK =E67V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I eagerly ran my apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, rebooted and, voila, X refused to start. I finally installed the proprietary nvidia driver AND removed nouveau and I got my X back. I was delighted to see that I could now define printers in KDE without using the CUPS web interface. However, I still do not see a way to change passwords as an ordinary user. How does an ordinary user who does not use the command line (and thus passwd) and does not have the root password change their password in KDE 4.4?

I know a lot of you > use squeeze so its probably best place to ask Yesterday, a fix for a problem where you could not make ext2, ext3 or ext4 filesystems made it into testing. This has been around for a few weeks, and although there is a workaround using the updated version from SID, all the installation CDs from the weekly builds have not yet caught up. Other than that, I have been using it as a server and desktop (which I downgraded from SID) for some time. If you are just upgrading directly you should be ok. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
