Hi Installed Debian (Lenny) on my desktop and everything was hunky-dory for a while (a week or so). I had no problems with the installation and installing packages, AT's new HWF kernel and even nVidia drivers for my new card. Everything was going so well and all of a sudden today, on boot I get tonnes of error messages regarding USB 1-1 . The error messages kept rolling up but the system did not boot. This happened for both images installed on my desktop - the standard and HWF's. I reinstalled lenny and now although I get some error messages, at least the system boots. I wonder for how long..... :x: Here are all the USB related entries in dmesg- Any ideas? I am scared to restart the PC..... :doh: Update - Forgot to mention that I also get a message during boot that the system is unable to set-up the clock.... never seen this one before....
Thanks AT! How do I attach them? I tried to upload them but it did not work..... Shall I just run 'dmesg' and copy to a text file? How do I do that with 'debug'?
Valid file extensions: doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt zip So, you either need to add .txt to the end of the file before uploading, or zip them up. :doh:
:doh: I tried zipping but it kept erroring on me :O AAAAAnyway, I have attached the docs now..... duhhhhhhh............. :x:
Sorry, I am having a blond moment... i am really sorry..... :doh: I am loosing it badly! I have a sneaky feeling the problem is my webcam as when I disconnect it, I get no USB error messages. However, the problem with the clock persists..... The files are here now.... :x: Thanks AT for your patience....
OK, I'll look these over for you. I've been out sick for a while, but I'm taking a look at it for you now.
OK, you have a lot of "error 75" messages relating to your USB. The manuals indicate that 75 is -EOVERFLOW
Thanks AT. Sorry to hear you were unwell. Hope you are all recovered now. This might tie in with the camera playing up lately even on Windows. As I mentioned, when I disconnect the device, all seems to be OK.... Will try again and see...
[ot] Played around a bit with different distros and ended up with Mint. No problems there, even when the camera is plugged in. That is not saying that Mint has solved the issue.... :dry: Probably more like Mint might have ignored the issue. Out of sight out of mind right? :doh: But, it is quite a nice derivative and very easy to use. The only way, I reckon to make Gnome look half decent..... a bit like going for a drink with Marg's sisters.... :chk: I had a very interesting week or so, as far as Linux installations are concerned. Perhaps I should write a sticky about a noob's experiences of installing various distros. Goods and bads.... sort of a diary of a dense blonde, how-to for real dummies..... :chk: Anyways, thanks again AT. My laptop still runs Debian like it was built for it ..... never surrender!!! I should make a small sticker to go over the MS flag - "Designed for Windows XP but runs Debian even better!" hehe.... [/ot]
