More fun at work

[mdlbear]

Was late getting in to work today, delayed by an echocardiogram appointment. Results available Monday.

Got my new computer configured. Sound came right up, which was good. Installed the SMP kernel, and the next time I ran gkrellm it had two CPU graphs. (Showing 0% pretty-much straight across, of course.)

Only a couple of minor anomalies: apparently the resources loaded by xrdb aren't getting seen by any of the apps started after it in my .xinitrc file. I'm guessing it may be some kind of SMP timing glitch, since I've been using the same .xinitrc for years, and it works on all the other Debian Etch systems I've run it on.

There are still a few disk partitions to copy over, and I need to finish reconfiguring the old one as a compile server (several coworkers are making use of its large collection of embedded toolchains). And I need PS2-to-USB adapters for the trackball and keyboard. But it's basically working.
