LMDE BREAKAGES - (Tracking SID!) -{CLOSED}

[andrew5859]

Well so far, I've done just an regular update, not a DU....no problem yet..of course I haven't rebooted yet after the regular update

[GregE]

Today's update kills Gnome Tweak Tool.

Xircon's fix for Cinnamon settings works for Gnome Tweak Tool as well .....

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-gi/testing python-gi-cairo/testing python-gobject/testing

[GeneC]

Thanks Greg (and xircon).

I wasnt even aware it was broken, until I tried it just now.

So, what, if anything, can anyone tell me about this new kernel.....is it safe to upgrade to it, is it going to screw anything up, or should I wait awhile.....I don't seem to get a straight answer from anyone......is this thing still in progress, being fixed.....is it going to mess up my wireless adapter driver...I currently use a IntelPro Wireless 2200BG mini-card...thank you....cheers

I have been have a problem with Remmina.
It starts to launch and then goes away.
If I launch it from the terminal this is what I get:

Cant help you there. I dont use wireless, and I use the Liquorix kernel. It looks like the new (3.2) Debian kernel may not work with some wireless drivers, but you can always revert to your old kernel, until fixes come through. It wont hurt to update to it, but worse case, you may not have wireless with it for a while with that kernel.

Dan

Same thing, I dont use it (Remmina), so I am of no help.

[GregE]

You can just grab broadcom-sta deb from Sid. My Broadcom issues were fixed two weeks ago.

[andrew5859]

I tried that originally before borking and reinstalling my system the last time....all it did was tell me that there were no managed adapters or networks no matter what I did.....that post was back on Feb 3...one page back

[andrew5859]

Well....DU'd earlier this afternoon.....all is well for now; wireless works, kernel, image & headers for 3.2.4-1 are in....no major screw up for now...pass the word along. All this is without have to put liquorix in and modify anything......cheers

With updates released today my Remmina is working again.
Thank you from me to the team working on this.

[xircon]

After updating this morning, every grub entry kernel panics, have gone to my last backup (21/1/11 Muppet! everything was going so well I forgot to backup!).

[dcihon]

@xircon
After updates I am fine.
You got me thinking however. I haven't backed since I have switched to SID.
What method do you use for your backups and how do you restore it?
Thanks
Dan

[GeneC]

xircon

No problems rebooting here either.

Dcihon

I am using Clonezilla for backups. (Makes a clone of the partition and restores it just as it was). Takes 10 minutes or less to clone or restore. A bit clumsy to use at first, but well worth learning.

[xircon]

Hmmmmm

+1 clonezilla to usb hd.

[xircon]

Could some kind person tell me what the updates were for today and yesterday? Got 640 ish updates to install and just tried again and got the panic again, think it may be mesa updates and I didn't reboot yesterday (I think!!!!).

So am updating again, but only stuff I think won't cause a problem ). Then I will clone again.

Well I am mostly back up, cinnamon up and running. I have disabled experimental for the time being. Going to make a backup every two days (honest!)
