Debian Multimedia :: Squeeze Compiling Dwm From Debian Source / Reality Check
Aug 18, 2011
Below is the recipe I've used to compile dwm from source on Squeeze
su
apt-get install devscripts debian-keyring
apt-get build-dep dwm
exit
It all seems to work, however debuild gave an error about secret keys. Is this a sensible procedure? What happens in the (probably unlikely) event there is another source patch?I've gone to a tiling window manager as the result of the purchase of a wide screen LCD monitor. I like to have some stuff down the right hand side when running Firefox and OpenOffice in the main panes. Any configuration tricks welcome. Modern screens are the wrong shape!

I have already open a thread in scribus forum but I am not sure if they know the solution, and I don't think is specifically related to scribus. I am receiving a generic unknown cmake error with QT5 library when try to compile Scribus 1.5, probably I need to install some library more but which?
Code: Select allcmake ../scribus -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/bin/
CMake Error at styles/CMakeLists.txt:21 (QT5_WRAP_CPP):
Unknown CMake command "QT5_WRAP_CPP".
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/myuser/Compilati/scribus-1.5.0/builddir/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.

I am trying to compile wine (1.1.28) in squeeze (AMD64). After I run the configuration scripts, I receive this error:
"configure: libhal/libdbus 32-bit development files not found, no dynamic device support."
I installed the ia32-libs package and libhal.so, libhal.so.,1libhal.so.1.0.0, libdbus-1.so exist in /usr/lib32.
I am compiling wine with the USB support patches, so I believe I will need libhal.

I'm trying to install the latest Kmess from source, but when configuring it (it's really a wrapper for cmake) I get the following error: configuring KMess 2.0.6.1
checking build directory
running cmake from /usr/src/kmess-2.0.6.1/build
command: cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=relwithdebinfo
-D KMESS_DEBUG_OUTPUT=0
[Code]...
fix the problems mentioned above, and run ./configure again. For example, make sure you have the KDE 4 devel packages installed.I've done this yesterday on another computer and it worked fine once I had both libgif4 and libgif-dev installed. The problem is that I've got both of those packages installed on this computer and I still get the error.

After finally figuring out how exactly how to compile something from source, I did it with Wine. However, there's a problem, when I'm trying to play a game on Steam (Half-Life) on a TNT2 graphics card (With NVIDIA drivers 71.86 installed as well as all of the packages needed to compile Wine from source), everything either lags or has an error.
One of these errors is that OpenGL32 isn't being initialized after attempting to start the game in that mode. Another error (or I should say problem) is that in Direct3D mode, it just.. crashes lol. Also, in Software mode, it LAGS horribly and I don't think it has to do with the hardware limitations I have on this machine. I did however install the glx and gl drivers AFTER I compiled Wine, do I have to do yet another install?
Debian Lenny 5.0.8
667MHz Celeron Coppermine
NVIDIA TNT2 32mb VRAM card

I'm trying to install the calculator Qalculate from source so I download the tar.gz package for KDE from their official website to my ~/Downloads folder. I unzipped it with
Code: Select all tar xzf qalculate-kde-0.9.7.tar.gz
I moved the exploded folder to my /home/guest/ folder (my user-name is guest), I entered the qalculate-kde-0.9.7 folder and searched for a INSTALL or README file. Here's what the INSTALL file says to do. The INSTALL file says to run the following commands
Code: Select all./configure
Code: Select allmake
Code: Select allmake install
Code: Select allmake clean
After giving the first command, trouble started; here's what I got:
Code: Select allroot@aliquis:/home/guest/qalculate-kde-0.9.7# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
[Code] .....
This is impossible, as I am running a fully functioning kde system. What should I do? I don't find the kde version of Qalculate in Apper...

I want to build Taucs library [URL] , to use its sparse solver in some number crunching apps, [URL] Since i plan to build these apps with the intel development suite, i better build Taucs with the same set of compilers... but AFAIK Taucs doesnt exist in <testing> or <unstable> ( I could apt-get source, and set appropriate flags for compilers it it did ) and i do not quite understand its build system ..It is not a ./configure system...it relies on external libs like blas, lapack and metis... which regardless of existing in Debian repo are built with gcc-4.5... so.. no way of using this to link with an Intel built library...

What happens if I update Debian Squeeze from Lenny's source.list?A step by step manual is written on Lenny, and if I change lenny to squeeze things seem to not work.When I update the squeeze from the original source.list and then change to the source.list that manual uses things are working.But if I were to start squeeze with lenny's source.list I am getting error while trying to do this:
apt-get install wget mc zip unzip bzip2 ntp ntpdate lsb-release.

The intel <Xorg> driver provides 2D and 3D support for Intel integrated graphics chipsets, including the i810, 915{G,GM}, 945{G,GM,GME}, 946GZ, 965{G,GM,Q}, G33, Q33 and Q35; the <GMA 500> is not supported.
Packaged for Debian as xserver-xorg-video-intel. [url] [url] [url].
Poulsbo is the codename of Intel's second-generation ultra mobile PC chipset. Its GMA 500 graphics core is not supported by the intel Xorg driver; ITP xserver-xorg-video-psb filed as Debian bug #533450.
Poulsbo (chipset) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - [url]
Poulsbo's graphics core GMA 500 is currently not well supported by Intel for the Linux platform.
However there is a quite easy way to have the drivers work on any Debian-based distribution, thanks to the Ubuntu sources and packages, for the linux kernel 2.6.30 (with newer kernel it would need a little hacking but seems still possible while the sources are included).

I finally installed Squeeze on my laptop and found out that the XF86Audio multimedia keys do not work.
When I press them, they're correctly identified by xev but they do not produce the desired effect (raise/lower/mute volume, play/pause/stop/prev/next song in media players like Sonata).
Funnily enough though, they do work in Audacious, which has its own plugin to manage XF86Audio media keys.
So it's like the action of pressing these keys is not intercepted by the system and no event is triggered.
I think this might be due to a missing package or configuration but I have no idea where to look...

After unsuccessfully trying to install some updates on my debian squeeze system, I can no longer login to gnome when I restart the system. I've tried logging in both as root and as user and have typed in 'startx' or 'gnome-session' at the prompt but I get an error message "**(gnome-session:12020): WARNING **: Cannot open display:". I've searched the web for solutions but nothing works. I've had my debian squeeze for over three years now with no issues.

I blacklisted the pcspkr module on my system(rebooted and confirmed it no longer loads). The majority of annoying beeps are now gone. I have 2 instances where it still beeps though. Whenever GNOME first starts(before I login though) and if i am in GNOME at a terminal and type reboot. Any thoughts on disabling this?

On a fresh install of squeeze, I can't log in to an AIM account with being immediately disconnected and given this error: You have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. Wait ten minutes and try again. If you continue to try, you will need to wait even longer.
I waited for several hours before trying to reconnect, but got the same message. Searching for the error led me to some bug reports from upwards of three years ago.
Strangely, this error hasn't occurred on any of my other squeeze systems.
I can ping login.oscar.aol.com as well as login.messaging.aol.com; both resolve to 205.188.251.43 for me. I tried changing the "Server" under "Advanced" to this address, but again I got the same error.

I think i came across a bug in X server in squeeze. I would report it to the bug tracking system in debian packages but the think is I am not entierly sure about it.When i start X (whether it is through startx or service gdm start or auto startup through init when the pc boots) the computer PC seems to lock up.The screen goes black right after X initializes and before anything is show in the screen and if i wait a about 10 minutes the monitor either goes in standby or out of range. PC seems unresponsive to both keyboard commands and mouse but my LCD screen in my G15shows the time skips 1 sec every 2 sec (from 19:22:22 goes straight to 19:22:24).
I have a custom 2.6.33 kernel which i build but it happens with both 2.6.32-trunk and 2.6.32-3 offical kernels from the squeeze repository so i dont think that this is the problem.My PC is a P4 3.75Ghz with 2Gb RAM and an NVidia 6800GT with the binary drivers from nvidia. I have tried diffrent versions from my grapgics drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.25-pkg1.run & NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.15-pkg1.run) with no change in the behaviouThis is the syslog from the time my pc started and then "stuck". I left it for some time before i hard reset it
