Of no interest to Craigevil. But for others who use Google as their calendar and who are also Gnome users - this is what I did. I only ever used Evolution to serve Google Calendar through Gnome Calendar. So I took this opportunity to do what I should have done long ago and that is integrate Google ...

For me, I have learned that running SID I have to make frequent backups with Clonezilla. Ten Minutes to clone a partition, and about the same to restore. Sometimes you can fix a borked installation, sometimes, not so easy. Some times you don't want to mess around and get back on quickly. That's the...

Now that that mess is sorted perhaps I can trouble you with a question? I couldn't find this on a search. Before rebooting, in order to avoid the problem, I actually installed these downloaded .deb files from the aptosid razorqt repository. I should have just added the repository but I was getting G...

The actual bug: #669949 - sysvinit: Break X11: no more mouse and keyboard - Debian Bug report logs - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669949 Either downgrade to testing version, or add the sidcution repo and install their fixed packages. deb http://packages.siduction.org/razorqt/ un...

Sorry for the stupid question but how do you recover if you can't use your keyboard or mouse? I know you can generally boot from a rescue cd and access the filesystem, but it seems you would need to revert to an old package via apt-get or dpkg and I don't know how you do that on just a mounted files...

I keep hoping to see XFCE 4.10. It's been in experimental for a while now but I have no idea how to tell when it will migrate to SID. I have had no problems since upgrading to Xfce 4.10 from the Experimental repository. Thanks, I did it yesterday. The main functionality is fine, some of the plugins...

I had temporarily enabled Experimental and upgraded all the xfce packages to 4.10 that I could find. Might have missed something. Saw no big differences..? Except some panel applets no longer worked. :shock: Reverted to a recent clone. Decided to wait for them to filter down to SID. I'm excited for...

I've been holding off for a while on upgrading syslinux and syslinux-common because of the following returned from apt-listbugs. I'm not really sure if this would affect me or not but it looks serious if it does. Any input? Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done grav...

Yep, I updated something recently and gnome-shell is dead. LXDE is working. I don't have any sense of urgency, is the standard procedure in this instance just to wait it out and hope that a subsequent update will set things right? Or do I have to go back and back out some updates?

GregE, Thanks but I already did that at least 3 times. That hasn't helped. I did copy the files over from my old /home folder also. Thanks Dan I had VirtualBox issues and finally gave up on the respository. I downloaded it from their webpage. I think I installed (horror of horrors) the Ubuntu versi...

@cooleric1234, if you want to run sid properly, do yourself a big favor gksu gedit /etc/apt/preferences set all the numbers to 500, save, close and run again aptitude. tell me something. That did it, thanks. I see that that sets the priority of where package updates come from. Was that just left ov...

try using apt-get. Had no issues upgrading the qt packages earlier. Host: debian Kernel: 3.3.0-trunk-486 i686 (32 bit) Desktop: KDE 4.7.4 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid recent dist-upgrade: he following packages will be upgraded: cpp fontconfig fontconfig-config g++ gcc gcc-4.7-base gnome-mpla...

Anybody else having KDE/Qt issues? I don't use KDE but I have the libraries installed for a few applications. When I try to upgrade with aptitude now I'm presented with a slew of choices, but mostly just the first and variations of the second below: The following NEW packages will be installed: libq...

I successfully upgraded apt but now get this error every time (tried to upgrade just one package below):
Tried the above steps of cleaning the cache too.

+1 on clementine (plus, the v. on the repos in very updated - either testing or sid), of course it will install some qt deps, but i think it's a fair trade-off. Rhythmbox came a long way as well; overall linux is full of music players (maybe too many?) what is the one feature that makes banshee so ...

I haven't found a gnome media player that is as full featured and useful as banshee, so I guess I'll just hold back the cil upgrades until that's worked out.

Irritatiang as hell because I DO HAVE libpcre.so.3 simlinked to the correct file in /lib32 mint@mint /media/e9766b63-da8d-4044-a381-46253d3834e9/lib32 $ ls libpcre* -la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-01-02 20:43 libpcre.so.3 -> libpcre.so.3.12.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205716 2010-08-05 21:30 libpcr...
