The current debian sid sudo package is very restricitve when it comes to environment variables, even http_proxy and ftp_proxy are unset. Thus

will fail. You can exclude these specific variables from beeing unset by running

and add this option

The modular X CVS HEAD sources fixed the freezes with my ATI card. Build instructions are here.

Update: I got my german keyboard working again through the following steps. I am pretty sure that some of them are redundant.

Creating some links (xorg is installed beneath /opt/xorg-cvs):

$ cd /etc/X11
$ ln -s /opt/xorg-cvs/share/X11/xkb .
$ cd /usr
$ ln -s /opt/xorg-cvs X11R6
$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
$ ln -s /opt/xorg-cvs/share/X11/xkb .

Editing /etc/X11/xorg.cfg

...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"

Option "CoreKeyboard"

Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "xfree86"
Option "XkbTypes" "default"
Option "XkbCompat" "default"
Option "XkbSymbols" "de(pc105)"
Option "XkbGeometry" "pc(pc105)"
EndSection
...

And running this:

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys

Watch it.

After the last upgrade on my debian sid machine x.org kept crashing. This is an T42p IBM Thinkpad equiped with an:

There is a lot of information regarding this problem on the internet, below there is a list of bugs I found. It seems like it is a memmap related problem, see X.org #5450, debian BTS #345929 and a possible patch.

I tried several hints, like

• setting AGPMode “8″

• commenting out Load “dri”

• removing radeon.ko from my kernels module folder

but the only thing that worked was changing the device driver to vesa instead of ati in my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
#   Driver          "ati"
Driver          "vesa"
Screen          0
BusId           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

After my canceled experiment with Gregarius I came across Tiny Tiny rss:

Update: Commands needed to set up the MySQL database:

create database ttrss;
grant alter,create,delete,drop,insert,update,select
on ttrss.* to ttrss identified by <password>;
mysql -u ttrss -D ttrss -p < schema/ttrss_schema_mysql.sql

Today my nameserver decided to stop working: /var/log was flooded with:

named[14514]: sysquery: no addrs found for root NS (G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET)

I run a local bind process acting as caching server and to provide some internal zones, neither local nor remote addresses could be resolved.

I found an entry in the Debian BTS (here) which worked for me:

• add forward only; to options
• add server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx { edns no; }; for each forwarder
