I gave that a go, but it does not build the packages. Perhaps because of differences between Lenny and Squeeze? It did not seem to find things where it was looking for them (looking in...

Yes, I am using that version, through the fglrx-source package. Interestingly, the last deb I built (when I first installed) was also that version, so it looks as though this package has not been...

I have completely removed everything related to fglrx and begun reinstalling from scratch. I believe I have found the cause of the original problem. There is no package for the module for amd64:...

I checked that page, but the issue it describes did not seem to be present. Using the information from it, however, I removed and reinstalled the fglrx packages (it said they contain the hacks...

I was just experimenting with changing the resolution and believe I have found something. I decided to redirect STDERR, just in case, and checking it after startx failed again came up with something...

I was already using that driver. I believe I used that very page when I first installed the system.

I have been running Debian Lenny on this current PC for about a year. Since installation, I have had no major issues. Last night, I lazily tapped out:

$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude...

Ah, they look like they are worth trying out. I skimmed the gcc online manual, but did not notice anything like this. Thanks for the advice!

Unless I am misunderstanding the -p option (never used it, so entirely possible), I do not think it would help. I believe that would insert extra code to help analyse the execution of the...

I am working on an application with some rather interesting build performance issues. If we build on Solaris/Linux x86/AMD64 the build is rather fast, but it takes more than five times as long on...

Thanks for the advice.

I had confirmed with the manufacturer and they would not respect the warranty if I opened it up.

I transferred the primary master HDD to the old-old PC, to see how things...

A little while ago, my PC died. Something critical --- RAM, Mother Board, CPU, not sure. It was old and needed a replacement anyway (I knew it was on its last legs a year ago, but kept putting it...

I use Solaris 10, compiling with a custom g++ (3.4.6) and GNU binutils (2.17). Things have gone well on two different systems, but when I tried moving to a third, it all fell over. Basically, it is...

I have a stored procedure that is failing. The current query behind it is:

SELECT DISTINCT
<many, many values>
FROM
table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON
(table2.key =

Thanks for the help there. It took a little messing around to get it to work (apparently sequences cannot be used in a select within a select), but eventually I managed to sort things out. It seems...

Sorry, I do not think I follow. It is not a performance issue --- this is only a temporary table that gets thrown away later. After this table is built, I will be adding a section which loops over...

I recently upgraded from Etch to Lenny. There were a few hiccoughs, but I was able to sort most of these out myself. There is just one little niggle left that I have no idea how to go about fixing....

As a disclaimer, I am not a database person. I have some basic knowledge, but my area is in other fields. Please treat me like I am stupid when it comes to this question.

An Oracle script has...

G'day,

I was wanting to write a shell script that checks an ftp server for the presence of new files, then get those files. In so much as the get, this is pretty straight forward, but I cannot...

G'day,

I have been working with a large application that makes extensive use of templates. When compiled under Unix (with g++), this sees some rather impressive bloat. I have been trying to make...
