Whoa, you either have some hardware problem which makes your computer
act in a semi-chaotic manner, or you are poking at too many things at
once. I think you should ignore the resolution, jack, etc. problems for
the moment and focus on the udev/hotplug thing first. (and maybe there is
an apt configuration problem...)
BTW, I temporarily fixed the problem... I found two headings for
"hotplug" in two different directories, and changed the one with the
odd version number to something like "hotplug-****ing-****ard," at
which point Synaptic showed them as two hotplugs, and I was able to
select the recent one.
I propose that you do the following:
1) Run "apt-get update" as root. Does this work? If you get any error
messages post them here.
no error messages; it is still accessing the Italian server.
2) Try "apt-get install -f" next. Post the entire output of this command.
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
3) Likewise, we need to know the result of "apt-cache policy hotplug
udev". (You can run this command as a normal user.)
hotplug:
Installed: 0.0.20040329-22
Candidate: 0.0.20040329-22
Version Table:
*** 0.0.20040329-22 0
500 http://ftp.it.debian.org sarge/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
udev:
Installed: 0.056-3
Candidate: 0.056-3
Version Table:
*** 0.056-3 0
500 http://ftp.it.debian.org sarge/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
====================
(due to me hunting down hotplug)
4) Finally, we need to know what you have in /etc/apt/sources.list. If
you have the files /etc/apt/apt.conf and/or /etc/apt/preferences post
their contents as well.
OK, sources.list (I added the bottom 4 earlier, and commented out two
when they caused problems; before I touched the file there were 3
identical sets of addresses, commented out except the bottom one of
each set):
