Hi all, I'm just setting up a new Debian machine, on an IPv4-only network. When I go to run "apt-get update", I get these errors: Code: Select allReading package lists...

Why is it trying to connect over IPv6? I only have a link-local IPv6 address on the interface (as per the default) but I don't have a routable IPv6 address and no IPv6 gateway set. Why doesn't it fall back to IPv4 when the IPv6 connection fails? I don't really want to disable IPv6 altogether because I will start using it once the network starts transitioning over to it, so I'd like to keep IPv6 enabled but have apt fall back to using IPv4 until I get a real IPv6 address. Is that possible? | Well, strangely enough the problem seems to have fixed itself. Maybe it was a configuration issue on the server? |
I want to do some training in ~/public_html I did Code: Select alla2enmod userdir and added: Code: Select all<Directory /home/*/public_html> Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi </Directory> in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and Code: Select allIfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec <Limit GET POST OPTIONS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept> </Directory> </IfModule> in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf like adviced by several how-to's, but if i create index.php Code: Select all<?php phpinfo() ?> it doesn't give me a page when loading localhost/~dude/ in iceweasel. The same test-page works with localhost in iceweasel, index.php stored at /var/www How come? aka What's missing?

Hello forum, after successfully switching from ubuntu to debian on my acer aspire one 722 I do have an annoying problem with kde and suspend. I use kde as my main desktop environment and it pretty much works. Only thing is that suspend from time to time fails. About every second day when trying to put the machine into suspend to ram via closing the lid the machine does not go into suspend. Instead the kde desktop is killed and the kdm login screen appears. When trying to login the kde splash screen appears and hangs when showing then blue "K" symbol. Switching to the console via ctrl-alt-f1 gives me a completely blank screen. No cursor, no nothing. The only way to turn the machine of is to press ctrl-alt-delete on the blank console, which results in the machine powering down. After reboot everything is back to normal again. Only relevant thing in the logfiles is kern.log which shows me a [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id Any ideas? Yt, Gunnar | Seems I am getting a bit closer. The problem seems to be related not only to the video driver but also to the ath9k, which powers the AR99485 wlan chip. Right before todays hangup I noticed that the wlan got unstable. It lost the connection and would not reconnect. It would not even find the networks available. So I deactivated the wlan via FN+F3 and reactivated it, which usually helps to reinitialize the network. But this time it won't help. So I looked into syslog and found that by de- and reactivating the network via FN+F3 syslog gave the following output: Code: Select allAug 23 17:36:08 jeheskix kernel: [17199.325150] ath: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x005!

Hi all, I am eventually planning to make a 10 4TB (or 3TB - depends on budget) disk RAID array, of which will be split like: /dev/md0: 2 x 4TB - RAID 1 /dev/md1: 8 x 4TB - RAID 6 What will be stored on this RAID 6 configuration are TV Series, Music and Movies of which would be accessed by myself and family anywhere in the world (Dynamic DNS I thank thee...). It would be running a very minimal Debian with samba and ssh being the main services. Would you guys recommend a different RAID configuration? I like the fact RAID 6 allows for the 2 disks to fail (Double the parity bits of RAID 5 I believe) which is appealing whilst still getting 6 out of the 8 disks for storage. I understand that RAID 6 isn't as quick in both write and read times that RAID 5 offers but the redundancy is more important for me in this case - I don't want to have to re-rip my DVD's and CD's... I have just finished reading 'Managing RAID on Linux' - Derek Vadala and unfortunately whilst I have learnt a lot about a RAID configurations and the mdadm tool I also found myself doubting and questioning each decision I make regarding such a setup, hence asking you guys Also what hardware would you suggest for making the array? Would you suggest hardware RAID over software RAID? I was initially thinking a low level intel CPU (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005KIWT2O/r ... B005KIWT2O) would suffice for a RAID array of size 10, but looking at Intel's server processors I got confused with what was more beneficial a bigger cache size or more GHZ's/cores. I am looking at a basic motherboard that has 6 sata ports and also a PCI to 4 sata port device - again any recommendations on motherboard or PCI to sata (minimum 4) boards? My initial take on the amount of memory was a lowly 2GB single DDR3 stick for the system, would this setup require more RAM? I was looking at a big Fractal design case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design- ... 89&sr=1-16, any recommendations for a case that can hold a large amount of hard disks would be beneficial in my final decision. I hope this wasn't too long, I don't expect you to do my research i just wanted a second opinion of someone who has had hands on experience with a RAID system (Big or small!) Thanks Mr Tickle | Any particular reason to setup 2 arrays? If you are planning on putting / on /dev/md0, that is a serious waste; / on a server doing what you want will be small, certainly less than 10 GB and probably less than 5. If you want that on a RAID, try finding 2 smaller drivers and creating the array. Even if / is not on a RAID, backup your samba file and any other config files, and reinstalling and back up and working as before shouldn't take more than an hour. Even better, once it is working like you want it, clone the drive so you can re-image quickly if needed. Given the size, RAID 6 is probably a good option, or a RAID 5 leaving one as a hot spare. This would leave room for one to fail, and if it did the spare would be auto magically added and the array rebuilt with it. Do some reading on both and determine which you think would be a better fit for you given your requirements and tolerance for loss. I have an array with 4 x 1TB setup in a software RAID 5. Speed seems to be adequate. Consider using xfs as a file system as it was the fastest with large files when I tested speeds when setting mine up, although it was before ext4 was available. May want to run tests of your own using ext4 to see if that is still the case. As for hardware or software, unless you are going to spend the money (est. $250+ US) on a legitimate RAID card (something that doesn't require drivers to work, like a 3Com for example) software is your only option. Given that you are spending $2000+ on drives (assuming new purchase), you can make a case for justifying purchasing a decent RAID card. Maybe wait for someone to post on good ones, I don't have any experience on using hardware RAID. Software RAID will allow you to create the array using devices on multiple controllers (mobo, addon card, etc). Software RAID is also more dynamic, you can move the entire array to another box and rebuild the array. I have done this 3 times across 2 boxes with different hardware and at least 10 different installs of Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora and possibly others with no data loss. If it makes any difference, it was setup with 3 drives and later I added #4. Hardware RAID will generally require that you use the exact same controller to get it working again if your card fails. Obviously there will be a CPU hit for this, but on a dual-core AMD 2 GHZ or so processor I have no problems with performance. This box is used as a NAS/HTPC playing bluray rips and no issues, at least once I put in an Nvidia card with hardware decoding. If you are just doing samba shares, that processor should be more than enough. If anything, look at dropping to a processor that is either 35 or 45 Watts for power savings as this is probably going to run 24/7. As for motherboards, I am partial to Gigabyte boards, but any quality board should be fine as long as it has the connections you are looking for in addition to SATA. 2 GB should be plenty, but it is relatively cheap so going with 4 GB is probably a good idea in case you look at expanding the server's role in the future. Cases are subjective, but something large enough to hold all the drives plus allow for expansion will limit your choices. Make sure that there is room for fans to allow for cooling, and spend a few bucks getting better fans that move more air and are quieter than the default ones. Buying 10 4TB drives is expensive, so another $50 or so for fans shouldn't add significantly to the price of the build. It may also be a good idea to look at using an aftermarket CPU cooler that will offer better cooling than stock heatsink/fan. Heat is a killer, and with that many drives, you will have some heat being generated. The building/formatting of the array will likely take several days, and the drives will be in constant use the whole time. If you haven't already purchased the drives, look at getting ones that are enterprise level, as they are designed to be 24/7 in a RAID setup. Edit - One more thing, dont cheap out on a power supply. Getting a poor PSu will fry your hardware. Seasonic, Corsair, Antec are good models to look at, although I may not be up to date with latest offerings. Maybe someone can offer guidance if you need it. |
Relative linux newb here. I'm having some trouble installing the catalyst drivers.

I'm trying to limit a user to only be able to use sftp, I ended up with pretty much following this guide: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 and added this into my sshd_config Code: Select all#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match user back # ChrootDirectory /mnt/storage/backup/brass ChrootDirectory /home/back X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no ForceCommand internal-sftp The first line is commented (and replaced by the second line) which I believe is because I don't need (or want) to config a chroot enviroment, I only need sftp. That config works. What I want to do is use the "ChrootDirectory /mnt/storage/backup/brass", but if I do I get: "Server unexpectedly closed network connection. Authentication failed." when I try to connect. I can't see the difference though, why doesn't it work with my mounted folder? | I'd suggest checking sshd logs and trying to chroot to your location with any other process. It is also possible that a process which is run before /mnt/storage is mounted still 'sees' the old directory structure. Have you tried to restart sshd after mounting /mnt/storage ? |
Greetings, I've configured Debian Sid x64 with systemd to automatically login my regular user, and have edited .profile in my home directory to launch xfce (4.. What is very strange though, is that if - at any point - after I log in I then launch a terminal (xfce4-terminal) I see the following message: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error This whole message take about 10 seconds to work it's way through the attemp and then the giving up, after which I can use my terminal normally. Can someone help me make sense of this message and how to get rid of it, as I'm sure it must mean I've configured something incorrectly. I used the following links to achieve the above: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au ... th_systemd (steps are somewhat different for Debian) http://elinux.org/RPi_Debian_Auto_Login EDIT: Marked as solved. | Unfortunately I can't say what the solution is, as it seems to have resolved itself over the past 24 hours.

Is that the normal way to do it or am I missing something? |
Hello, I have just installed wheezy on my laptop (hp 2730p) and it has horrible screen flickering problems. Googling reveals it's a kernel bug introduced around 3.0 and fixed around 3.4.

After long in opened phpmyadmin via localhost/phpmyadmin and all i see are two databases: information_schema phpmyadmin I log in as user phpmyadmin, yes? Anything else i need to do?

Hi all I am developing static websites for some time. Never needed and never wanted to us .htaccess (see Apache documentation). Now I am in a need to use php inside html files (there are too many to simply rename and search for each and every link to modify + security). I don't know if Debian runs php as module or as cgi script. So, solution would be to configure Apache to do this without .htaccess. I run Debian Squeeze. The server also runs CMS software, so system requirements are met. Does anybody have experience in doing this? Please, don't reply if you didn't do this. I also don't need convincing to use .htaccess. Thanks! | . |
Hello, this is my first post here, so hello all This is my problem (on Debian Squeezy stable): The automatic NFS mount at boot doesn't work. This is my fstab row: Code: Select allnas:/backups /mnt/nas_backups nfs rw,_netdev,auto 0 0 Using mount -a it works, but at boot it doesn't work. After some investigations, I think the problem lies in /etc/network/run/ifstate : I say this because etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh calls /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs , which contains this code: Code: Select allexit_unless_last_interface() { grep "^[:space:]*auto" /etc/network/interfaces | \ sed -e 's/[ ]*auto[ ]*//;s/[ ]*$//;s/[ ]/ /g' | \ while read i; do if [ `grep -c $i /etc/network/run/ifstate` -eq "0" ]; then msg="if-up.d/mountnfs[$IFACE]: waiting for interface $i before doing NFS mounts" log_warning_msg "$msg" # Can not pass this as a variable because of the while subshell mkdir /var/run/network/mountnfs_earlyexit 2> /dev/null fi done if [ -d /var/run/network/mountnfs_earlyexit ]; then rmdir /var/run/network/mountnfs_earlyexit 2>/dev/null exit 0 fi } This code makes the script exit, because in etc/network/run/ifstate there is not the eth0 interface, although eth0 interface is up and running. Do you have some suggestions about how to resolve this? | mareizio wrote:Hello, this is my first post here, so hello all This is my problem (on Debian Squeezy stable): Hello, are you using /etc/network/interfaces to bring up the network at bootup, or networkmanager in X, and is there anything at all in /etc/network/run/ifstate ?

[UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED. Now, how do I speed up SFTP between the connected computers? And how do I get the gui tools for network-manager and cwid to do what the command-line solution achieved?] I am trying to share files between two laptops using ad hoc wireless. Both are running the updated version of Debian, with all updates installed. When I create the wireless connection on either machine, the little connection icon spins forever, and the connection fails. I have tried deleting all connections. Also, Samba does not seem to work properly on either machine. One is a Acer Aspire, one is a hp laptop. I cannot get them to connect to each other, and I cannot get samba or ssh to work on either. What I want to do is have them connect via wifi, then be able to exchange files with a GUI or explorer-like interface. Please help. This is frustrating. | Since your post makes absolutely no mention of it, you leave folks to wonder if you even bothered to consult the appropriate Wiki page. |
Hello, I've been reordering my boot sequence, but I think I broke something. After X11 gets started, neither my mouse nor my keyboard work, however, the mouse begins responding in a minute or so.

I have a hard drive that was in another computer, it was dual-boot with Debian Linux and Windows XP. I want to install this drive in another system as it is a faster drive than what is currently installed inside this other system. Once gparted is installed, is it safe to use it to delete/reformat the Windows side while Linux is up and running? The Linux side of the drive is not being touched at all and if it's possible to do so, I would like to reallocate that Windows space on the drive to Linux. I know that once this is all said and done, I need to run update-grub which would update (and hopefully remove the Windows XP entry from the menu).

I've recently acquired an ATI Radeon HD4890 gpu, and I'd like to get it running on my Debian Wheezy AMD-64 system, if possible. I have presently installed a NVIDIA 9800GT and proprietary driver (oops!). I've checked both the ATIHowTo and ATIProprietary wikis, and it seems that the driver installation may not be as simple as I'd have liked, due either to the specific card not being supported or particular packages not being available in wheezy. I may be wrong (as I really am a bit of a non-geek, despite all those years using linux). I am pretty sure I would need to replace the driver for the 9800GT - with whatever replaced it. Has anyone any experience that would help me in the above matters? Given my non-geek status (and my previous problems installing video drivers in debian), I'm reluctant to do anything drastic in case I mess things up, and end up having to reinstall the whole operating system. | jackdaws wrote:I've checked both the ATIHowTo and ATIProprietary wikis, and it seems that the driver installation may not be as simple as I'd have liked, due either to the specific card not being supported or particular packages not being available in wheezy.The wiki's supported hardware section seems to be a bit dated as wikis tend to be with respect to current affairs.

I am trying to compile a module for a hardware monitoring chip (f71882fg) on a 32-bit Squeeze server and my machine is running out of memory. Both my Makefile and c file are from http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/f71882fg/ and I am simply putting them together in /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build/ and running make. I have 4GB RAM and 2GB swap and when I check in top, hundreds of make processes are flooding both buffers. I thought I could possibly set my ulimit -v and ulimit -m and compile again; but that approach doesn't seem to be correct. I've also tried to limit the load-average (-l) and number of jobs (-j) as options to make but still no luck. Either way, I expected this behaviour if compiling a kernel but not a single module; then again, I am not very experienced in this area. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. | Wow, I have 331MB of memory free (free), and it compiled in three seconds for me.

I'm finally familiar enough with vim to start coding with it. I have an excellent (standard American) Model M keyboard, but the problem is that the Escape key is a little out of reach, which interrupts me constantly. There is the obvious Ctrl-[ but it seems my head doesn't work that way. I could remap the keys in .vimrc, but then I'd like to remap the keys in the vi-mode of my bash prompt also. I figure that the best thing for me is to swap the Escape and CAPS LOCK keys. Not just in X (if I use X, I use XFCE) but in the console also. What is the best way to do this? I've come across a number of solutions on the internet, but I guess the best place to ask about this is here. What I've tried so far: * dumpkeys to backup.kmap, edit this file to swap keycode 1 and 58, save as blabla.kmap, and loadkeys blabla.kmap. No change in keyboard behaviour. * edit /etc/default/keyboard so that it contains XKBOPTIONS="caps:swapescape". Then run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. No change either. Thanks. I'm running Debian Wheezy. | See if this helps. |
Hello together, I've some trouble with the IPsec configuration on my debian server (6 squeeze). This server should connect via IPsec VPN to an windows server, which is protected by an firewall. I've used racoon and ipsec-tools and this tutorial http://wiki.debian.org/IPsec. However, I am not quite sure, if this tutorial fits to my purpose, because of some differences: - my Host and my gateway are the same server. So I don't have two different ip addresses. I guess, that's not a problem - the other server is an windows system behind a firewall. Hopefully, not a problem - the subnet of the windows system is /32 not /24. So I change it to /32. I worked through the tutorial step by step, but I wasn't able to route the ip. The following command didn't work for me: Code: Select allip route add to 172.16.128.100/32 via XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX src XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX So I tried the following instead: Code: Select allip route add to 172.16.128.100 .., which obviously not solved the problem. The next problem is the compression. The windows doesn't use a compression, but 'compression_algorithm none;' doesn't work with my racoon. So the current value is 'compression_algorithm deflate;' So my current result looks like this: When I am trying to ping the windows host (ping 172.16.128.100), I receive the following error message from ping: Code: Select allping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted And racoon logs: Code: Select allracoon: ERROR: failed to get sainfo. After googling for a while I came to no conclusion, what's the solution. Does this error message mean that the first phase of IPsec works? I am thankful for any advice. I guess my configs might be helpful. My racoon.conf looks like this: Code: Select allpath pre_shared_key "/etc/racoon/psk.txt"; remote YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY { exchange_mode main; proposal { lifetime time 8 hour; encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm sha1; authentication_method pre_shared_key; dh_group 2; } } sainfo address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/32 any address 172.16.128.100/32 any { pfs_group 2; lifetime time 8 hour; encryption_algorithm aes 256; authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1; compression_algorithm deflate; } And my ipsec-tools.conf looks like this: Code: Select allflush; spdflush; spdadd XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/32 172.16.128.100/32 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY/require; spdadd 172.16.128.100/32 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/32 any -P in ipsec esp/tunnel/YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/require; If anyone has an advice, that would be awesome. Thanks in Advance. Greets, Michael ------ Problem solved! It was a simple copy-and-paste error in an ip address. | michi_20inch wrote:- my Host and my gateway are the same server. So I don't have two different ip addresses. I guess, that's not a problem Well your Host is not the end of The Internets is it?

Can someone please refresh my memory? I haven't used a logon box (GDM, etc) for a long time. There is a way to use CLI to choose which WM or DT to load but I can't remember how. There is also a way to prioritize this; again I can't remember. I have searched on this forum (we discussed this a few years ago) and on Google without a hint. Anybody have better memory than I have? | There is more than one way you can skin the cat.

That is not always what one wants, but in general it is better than nothing, aka black screen of no-nothing-at-all ): Code: Select allupdate-alternatives --config x-window-manager (i usually don't use this.

Here we go - first post. I've been working/playing around with a Debian Squeeze install (both with a standard desktop install and an install with no GUI). I've noticed when enabling SELinux, it's not quite... right. On a fresh console install (after following http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux/Setup ), when running the command "audit2allow -i /var/log/messages", there are multiple selinux denies: lvm_t mount_t If I install a desktop environment (gnome), it's a borderline disaster (in fact, Gnome will fail to properly load when in enforcing mode). So my question is, do others run into this? Do most Debian users just NOT use SELinux? | I would say that 95% do not use selinux. I would like to, if I had the time to learn it.

Hi guys, i wanted to install Debian on my new bought Desktop PC. I am using Debian on my laptop without any problem. So i installed it and i saw it was 800x600 on resolution. I tried everything to change it but i could not. So here are the steps i followed. 1. First i run xrandr command, prompt is as follows. ******** xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm 800x600 61.0* 640x480 60.0 ******** 2. Then i tried to add a new modeline to xrandr. I issued commands; cvt 1920 1080 xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync At this step it gives error like; xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default but still adds newmode to xrandr. So i used; xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080_60.00 to add the mode and it gives same error but adds mode. Then i use xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080_60.00 I get an error like; ******* xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed ******* Please help. I am using vesa drivers. Could it be that vesa drivers do not support 1920x1080 and i need to instal non-free drivers? I am connecting my Graphic device to my monitor with a DVI adapter. I searched google for hours but nothing worked. Tried so many things. | Has nothing to do with DVI ouput. "What driver" depends entirely on your hardware.

Unfortunately my PC died and the result was a new PC and a fresh install of Debian testing. I have mounted the old hard disk from the PC that died and I am in the process of copying stuff of the old disk to the new disk. But there are some programs that I installed that I can't remember the name of, I have looked in /usr/bin on the old disk for help but that has not revealed the name of the programs I am looking for, is there any where on the old disk I can look at what packages I had installed?? Tim | Best way I can think of is chroot into the old disk and:Code: Select all$ dpkg -l # That's a lowercase 'ell'This lists all packages installed via package manager as well as version number and one line description, giving you a good bit of text to grep through to find the package(s) you're looking for. There's also probably some way to transfer package selections from one disk to another with minimum user effort. Though I'm not sure on the specifics |

Hi, I just installed Debian for the first time in order to make a home git server. I downloaded the Squeeze net install image today and used that. The only thing I selected from tasksel at installation was SSH server. I have several Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 computers and I can SSH between them using their hostnames, but trying to SSH in to the new Debian box using its hostname or FQDN always gives "unknown host". I can SSH in to the Debian server if I specify its IP address rather than its hostname. I would like to be able to use the hostname instead. resolv.conf shows that both the Debian server and the Ubuntu boxes list my router as nameserver. Running dig on the Debian server or an Ubuntu desktop gives the same answers i.e. Code: Select all$ # Find my Ubuntu box $ dig mystique.lan +short 192.168.1.64 $ # Find my router $ dig o2wirelessbox.lan +short 192.168.1.254 $ # Find my Debian server $ dig tweed.lan +short :( nothing i.e. If I show the full output then there is no Answer section. There was a difference DHCP files, i.e. /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf on an Ubuntu box includes the line Code: Select allsend host-name "<hostname>"; but /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf on the Debian server did not. I tried adding this line on Debian and rebooting but, as far as I can tell, this had no effect. I would be very grateful for any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Justin | 192.168.1.42 tweed.lan in /etc/hosts should help (assuming x.x.x.42 is the IP), but i got no idea if that is the proper (or best) solution. |

hi I have squeeze with Gnome and 2.6.32-5-686 kernel. Due to problems with graphics card (kernel bugs), I'd like to update the kernel. The problem is, 2.6.32-5-686 seems to be at the moment last kernel for squeeze. Howto upgrade the kernel from backports? | You can get 2.6.38 from the backports repo |
A few days ago, around the time I had a recent security update on 1/7/12, the kernel for ethernet stopped working properly. I think a security update could have caused a problem, but I am not entirely sure. The Ethernet had been working perfectly since the system install. What basically happens is that the internet will randomly disconnect. Unplugging and plugging in the Ethernet cable can solve the problem, and when it does, the computer displays a "kernel failure" message in the corner. The Ethernet stops working like this at random intervals, sometimes right during or before login, and sometimes not right away. I have kernel 2.6.39, because I figured out that it or any newer kernel would let my Ethernet work. Should I wait for a possible fix, or will this imagined fix likely never happen, and I should upgrade my kernel? The problem is not terribly annoying: once every session, the problem occurs, and then may do so several times in a session. Any thoughts are appreciated. Kernel failure detail given: http://pastebin.com/479j3EfX | I don't know how or why, but there haven't been kernel failures for weeks now. It seems the system fixed itself.

Hi all, I've a problem on enabling kerberos authentication on debian squeeze. Ive a kerberos server running and can login using kerberos on a suse 12.1 and a scientific linux 6.2 box. However when I've tried to hook up a debian squeeze boox to the kerberos server its not working. I'm as far as follows. User accounts and groups are distributed by ldap and this is working, I can su from root to users existing only in ldap. I can kinit user and get a ticket from the kerberos server. (my ldap IS NOT distributing passwords or kerberos information, ldap is only for groups and users). Now when i'm doing a su from user a to user b its not working and gives authentication failure auth.log excerpt on the debian-box who wont authenticate against kerberos. May 28 18:04:15 deb-box su[2415]: pam_authenticate: Authentication failure May 28 18:04:15 deb-box su[2415]: FAILED su for g2tu by g2tu May 28 18:04:15 deb-box su[2415]: - /dev/pts/0 g2tu:g2tu Waiting for data... (interrupt to abort) When i login with local users onto the deb-box the kerberos server is contacted and a ticket for the non existent local user is requested. Just vice versa, logging in to the box by checking the kerberos server is not possible. I've used pam-auth-update to enable kerberos and disable ldap authentication. Now i'm stuck and have no idea where to look further to track down the problem. So any hints regarding what I can try are welcome. greetings, devnull007 SOLUTION: the ldap users i was testing agains were some really old users, with user ids smaller than 1000. in debian the min user id was hidden in /etc/pam.d/common-auth Ive changed the pam_krb5.so parameter minimum_uid=500 and it worked like a charm... Silly me... | i'm a step further. If I make a kerberos principal for a local existing account, then I can login with the password stored in shadow AND the password from kerberos. If Im logging in to an account that ONLY exists in ldap I'm getting the authentication error. Su to the ldap user from root is possible su from any other user to the ldap user is not possible. |
Esteemed Debian gurus, I have a simple question, at least to me, but maybe it cannot be done. The question is as follows: I have my own unmanaged VPS and I set it up correctly so far that it is running a BIND daemon and so it can handle my domain name. It is also running dovecot and postfix, so I can receive and send mail. Now the question is that when I send mail I login with SASL through postfix but it is sending the line: Received: from [127.0.0.1] (ipxxx-xxx-208-87.adsl2.static.versatel.nl [87.208.xxx.xxx]) by mail.spoonfed.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 0FADEB5A390 Yet what I want is that line removed, because that is my private IP and I do not want that to be send out of course. Any pointers on getting that right? Have a nice day, and thanking you in advance for the time taken to help me. Also if it is in the forums already, I could not find it but maybe I searched wrong, or if it is in the wrong section do not hesitate to take the according action. | Basically, no. What you CAN do is submit the mail to postfix from the local (on the server) interface via an ssh tunnel from your "private" machine thusly:Code: Select allssh you@yourserver.org -L 2025:yourserver.org:25 Then point your mail client at localhost:2025 (or whatever port you chose) |
Installed Squeeze then realized I need new kernel to use usb wifi I upgrade to Wheezy and install 3.x kernel. I reboot and select new kernel. Boot failed and froze saying something like [drm] blah blah nouveau blah blah Rebooted, used old kernel, installed and ran nvidia-xconfig (nice how it installed & setup everything for me — wiki article gave me the impression it would be a lot scarier) and rebooted again this time using new kernel. Worked with no problems (for now). So if I were to use the debian testing netinst iso, how would one disable nouveau after doing the fresh installation so they can get in & replace it with something that doesn't cause boot to fail/hang? | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=disable+nouveau+debian |

I'm taking a step back from previous questions to ensure my assumption about grub being the wrong version is correct. I followed the lenny to squeeze upgrade steps on the wiki(?) and it all ran smoothly, but on reboot the lines <REV>Welcome to GRUB!</rev> error: the symbol 'grub_machine_fini' not found comes up and I'm put into grub rescue. As far as I can remember UUIDs were generated during the upgrade and examination of /etc/fstab shows the mount lines with UUIDs are active. /dev/sda1 is swap /dev/sda2 is the linux / partition and /boot/grub is inside that / partition. Hardware is a 80Gb sata hard drive with now added sata DVD r/w drive and two 60GB(?) idea drives mounted under /dataN After a bit of fiddling (no flaming idea why it didn't work first time) I was eventually able to reinstall the grub loader to /dev/sda and the system rebooted okay. Is there anything else I should do? upgrade grub -> grub2 (locales problem) How do I get UUIDs onto the two data ide drives and into /etc/fstab? | See /dev/disk/by-uuid, but it is better use disk label.

SOLUTION? - The solution for me was to make sure that the check box "Available to all users" on the Edit connection box for my wifi network was filled. This is a sort of an unusual problem. I'm kind of hoping that somebody will see this and know the answer. But anyway. Version: Debian squeeze Linux PHILBORG-debian 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 16 16:22:28 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux My wireless card was not supported out of the box. Go figure. So I manage to pull down the driver source and manually compile and install. It connects to the network just fine; but, for reasons unknown, relying on my router to forward name resolution requests to the dns isn't working. It works fine on all the other machines in my house, including two other debian machines. I can manually specify that it should use a specific DNS server such as Google's ( 8.8.8.8 ) or Comcast's (75.75.75.75) and thereby gain access to the web at large. But for whatever reason, I cannot access machines on the same local network. For example, trying to ping a media server I have fails entirely: Code: Select allphilbert@PHILBORG-debian:~$ ping 192.168.1.5 PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable ... From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=32 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=33 Destination Host Unreachable ^C --- 192.168.1.5 ping statistics --- 34 packets transmitted, 0 received, +33 errors, 100% packet loss, time 33144ms philbert@PHILBORG-debian:~$ It is like this machine is on a totally different network. The only reason I know for sure it's connected to the same network is that when I load up the wifi router's configuration page on another machine (can't access ANY local resoruces on this one), I can see this machine's IP address and MAC address under the "connected computers" list. FOR THE RECORD: The /etc/resolv.conf on the working machine reads: Code: Select all# Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.1.1 HOWEVER, Since I now statically specify the DNS on this machine, it now reads: Code: Select all# Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 75.75.75.75 nameserver 192.168.1.1 NOTE: I am using NetworkManager on this machine, and it did auto-generate the resolv.conf from settings I have specified in NetworkManager. SO FINALLY, THE SHORT VERSION: By MANUALLY SPECIFYING the DNS SERVERs, I can get online and access the web. Resources on THE LOCAL NETWORK are INACCESSIBLE. (eg: router configuration page, other machines, NAS, etc) Even if I copy exactly the configuration settings for another debian machine which is working perfectly fine over wifi, it does not resolve. For the record, I cannot connect to the network using a cable due to the distance. If you truly think it necessary, then on my next day off I'll give it a go of lugging it and a monitor into the other room and see if I can cable connect. If you need any other information from me, I am more than happy to comply. I just hope that somebody knows of a solution. | Does your router have an enabled setting to isolate wireless clients? |

Here's my problem. I bought a laptop to travel with. That means my wireless connection has to work everywhere I go. Right now, as I type this, I'm nursing a cup of coffee in an Internet cafe and using Windows because Wicd can't make the connection. I tried network-manager-gnome and had the same problem. Setting it up to run on my home router is not the point, this thing is going to travel. Still, on my home router, Wicd drops the connection unless I have Internet radio running all the time.

Any help will be appreciated. | Did this hardware work on Squeeze or an older kernel? Perhaps the firmware is not compatible with Linux 3.1?

Since there are two major upgrading methods for Debian (upgrade, and dist-upgrade) is there a way to tell apper which method to choose? There doesn't seem to be any option for that in the configuration UI. Another related question - how does apper handle packages which ask questions during installation? So far I didn't encounter such case, but I was wondering what will happen, or it answers yes by default? Is there optionally a way to see a terminal output while it runs? (Just to note, I use CLI tools like apt-get to upgrade but I'd like to understand how apper works when I recommend it to users who prefer GUI tools). Thanks. | shmerl wrote:Since there are two major upgrading methods for Debian (upgrade, and dist-upgrade) is there a way to tell apper which method to choose? There doesn't seem to be any option for that in the configuration UI. They are both part of apt-get. 'upgrade' tells apt to never remove packages. 'dist-upgrade' allows to remove packages in order to satisfy dependencies on an upgrade. The latter is an absolute necessity when doing major upgrades. I would assume it would be best to leave apper up to it's own devices. You could probably research the internals if you looked how packagekit-aptcc worked. Another related question - how does apper handle packages which ask questions during installation? So far I didn't encounter such case, but I was wondering what will happen, or it answers yes by default? Is there optionally a way to see a terminal output while it runs? Actually I am unsure.

I saw a couple of weeks back on h-online about a vulnerbility that had been patched for the Nvidia linux driver. It says that Version 295.40 of the driver fixes the vulnerbility and that there is patches available for older driver versions like 195, 256 to 285. I was wanting to know if I need to apply the patches to my debian install, or not (already patches by debian maintainers, isn't vulnerable etc) My system - Debian Squeeze 32bit, Nvidia driver 195.36.31-6 (from debian non-free) link to article - http://www.h-online.com/security/news/i ... 20095.html | The last time I could tell that a patch or any thing had been done was 2010 NOV 17. Before patching you have several choices check bugreports and if you don't find one file a bugreport. And you could alway upgrade to 295.40 or install the 195 driver from Nvidia. Just checked the nvidia site and the newest driver is now 295.49 but they did have the 195 driver for my card but might for yours. |
Hi there, I'm running a debian stable setup but have introduced debian backports into my repository in order to upgrade libsane for scanner support. Installing using: apt-get -t squeeze-backports install libsane libsane-extras works just fine and also updates the neccesary dependancies of libsane. However since I frequently work using aptitude rather than apt-get and I wish to ensure that the package receives any backports updates I've been looking into pinning configuration. In reading further I'm not too clear from the apt_preferences man page what a specific behaviour would be. I gather that pinning the above three packages to 550 should supercede both installed versions and non-installed versions that are part of the stable or stable/volatile repository. However part of the above install includes introducing a NEW dependancy in the form of the acl package. If I understand it correctly pinning should ensure that it is included in the install process as part of the dependancy list. However my question is this: Would the acl package be pulled in from the squeeze repository or the backports repository during the dependancy installation (as long as the version dependancy permits it?) In addition, if it is installed from the backports repository then from what I can understand it would never downgrade to stable (unless a pin of over 1000 was explicitly set). However would it continue to receive updates to the acl package from backports without having had a pin configuration created for it? My impression is that any non-installed version from stable related to "acl" would have a pin of 990 (since the default relase is stable) but should never be used due to being of a lower version, and any backport updates should have a pin of 500, trumping the pin 100 of the installed backport version. However I wished to confirm I had the correct understanding of how the pin system worked (to ensure that everything continues to update correctly.) Many thanks! Edit: I've just considered the scenario one step further. If I had a third repository such as unstable setup with an even newer version of acl, then without an explicit pin for the acl package I believe the backports-update and the unstable versions would both receive the same pin level, leading to a scenario where : 1. The backports version of libsane would be installed 2. if I used the command line above then the backports version of acl would be used due to it being the targetted version. However if I later went on to use aptitude without a pin for it or installed libsane via aptitude using the pin configuration, aptitude would go on to install/update acl to the unstable version while still maintaining a backport version of libsane. Would I be correct in thinking this? If it is the case, then is there a way to ensure it's maintained at the most up-to-date backports version without having the unstable version used? I can see the easiest way would be to introduce a new pin configuration for acl, but this implies that in a similar scenario with another package I would have to create a new pin configuration for every brand new dependancy regardless of whether there's 1 or 100. Is there another way of setting this up? | You can check a pin level with: Code: Select allapt-cache policy nameofpackage |
My problem is that, after messing with my system a bit, the trackpad edge scrolling requires me to move my finger very quickly in order to get any scrolling action. All other trackpad functionality seems to be untouched. Again, this is only a problem after messing with my system -- it was fine before. I upgraded the kernel from the experimental repos (to fix a wireless problem) and did an update-initramfs -u as part of getting plymouth installed. After those two things, my scrolling sucks.

My printer will work beautifully for months. Then, without warning, it will change its IP address and my system can't find it. Yesterday it changed four times. How does that happen? What is responsible for choosing the printer IP? Printer: Canon Pixma MX340. | The router does that. Some routers allow you to set static IP addresses for devices. You need to go into the router settings and find that. The manual should help, and most are available online. |
Hello. I updated a Debian 6.0 with k2.6.32 to k3.2.0-2-686-pae. The main reason for this, was to allow me to support new hardware. For that I temporarily added "testing" repositories to my sources list. Now I would like to ask: 1-What risks do you see in this action (kernel upgrade in a system originally meant to function with 2.6.32)? 2-In terms of updates, security, etc... what should I take into consideration? 3-Should I leave the testing repositories or remove them from the sources.list? 4-Imagine I remove testing repositories from the sources list and I boot the system into the new kernel. The next time I run the Update Manager will it still think I have k2.6.32 installed, and provide me the updates for that old system? Thank you | Binary-Synapse wrote:Hello. Hi! I updated a Debian 6.0 with k2.6.32 to k3.2.0-2-686-pae. The main reason for this, was to allow me to support new hardware. Quite understandable. For that I temporarily added "testing" repositories to my sources list. Please do not do that. 1-What risks do you see in this action (kernel upgrade in a system originally meant to function with 2.6.32)? None if you used the correctly built kernel in Debian Backports. http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ 2-In terms of updates, security, etc... what should I take into consideration? The fact that you broke your system likely upgrading to anything from testing. Packages in testing are/may be built with multi-arch support, a newer gcc, a newer glib, etc. They are not compatible with squeeze without recompiling them correctly. 3-Should I leave the testing repositories or remove them from the sources.list? I vote do not add them in the first place. Obviously remove them and downgrade any packages you installed from it. 4-Imagine I remove testing repositories from the sources list and I boot the system into the new kernel. The next time I run the Update Manager will it still think I have k2.6.32 installed, and provide me the updates for that old system? Yes. Though that is the least of your problems if you actually updated packages to testing. |
Hi, The reason behind this question is that I'm thinking of switching from DHCP to a Static IP. I believe I set up my new install of Debian 6 to use DHCP. But, now I'm confused. I read that changing from DHCP to Static would require changing my "/etc/network/interfaces" file. So I looked at my file and was surprised to see that the line for DHCP looks like it's been commented out. Please see the code below showing my current "interfaces" file Code: Select all# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp I'm curious as to why the following is commented out in my "interfaces" file: Code: Select all#iface eth0 inet dhcp I thought if I'm using DHCP that line would not be commented out. Thank you for your help. | Judging by that comment in there, you are using a network manager. If you use a network manager (ie: Gnome's network manager) then this is normal and you should configure the static IP in your network manager. |
For one of my applications I need libc6 version 2.15 or above, but debians current version in unstable is 2.13, so to get this I need to backport them from ubuntu and im not sure how to do it.

Hi, I have nine desktop PCs and one server running in my office, all running Linux. The server has been running Debian for some time, and since January, I've migrated all the desktop clients from Ubuntu 10.04 to Debian Squeeze + KDE. I'm very happy with the setup, everything works just perfectly. Or almost. The last PC to migrate was my girlfriend's PC. She connects to the wireless access point via a wireless PCI card. Under Ubuntu, I got rid of NetworkManager and simply put the card in /etc/network/interfaces like this: Code: Select allauto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-key XXXXXXXXXX wireless-essid montpezat This worked well under Ubuntu. Now I tried the same thing with Debian, but I couldn't connect to anything. Here's the card: Code: Select all# lspci | grep -i wireless 02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Hello everyone, I finally figured out how to make Unison work on Linux and on Windows, but I can't seem to get the Windows version automated. I'm trying to make a sort of dropbox connection. If Unison would automatically check every 10 sec. for updated files then I'm happy, but I can't seem to find a way to realize this idea. Can someone please help me out with this? --- Jonathanb | what if you made an instance of Unison that was called every 10 seconds by Windows Scheduler? It sounds massively inefficient, but should work... I hate to admit doing this in public, but I used to use the old NT command AT, or the windows scheduler to call a "cleanup script" that would xcopy files scattered all over a user's disc to a network share. Sloppy as hell, but it got the job done...wait, present tense, STILL getting the job done. |
I have a dual-boot Windows 7 and Wheezy laptop. Realtek RTL8187 USB wireless still works fine under Win 7 but no longer works under Wheezy after aptitude full-upgrade. I'm booting to command line (not starting X) and using wicd to connect, so Gnome network-manager is not even in the equation. The connection to the access point appears to progress successfully, but it finally fails at "Validating authentication: Bad Password." I have verified the password is correct.

Hello everyone. First post here and also fist time Debian user. (yeay!) I'm very happy with my experience so far. No major problems. The only thing I want to change right now is the Restart behavior. Since I dual boot I want squeeze to reboot back to Grub menu. Instead it just reboots to Debian without going through Grub. So I have to shut down completely to go to the grub menu option. Can I fix this? | That's a first. I duel booted before and saw no such thing - grub always displays. Questions about your problem: 1. You fiddled with /etc/default/grub ? 2. What happens if you hold down the 'shift' key during the reboot? |
I just put Mint Debian on my new eeepc and have everything nicely set up for Openbox sessions except that I can't tap the touchpad. This setting doesn't work in gpointing-device-settings, and nor does horizontal two-finger scrolling. Are gnome settings intervening in the background? I had it working in gnome. There must be two config files, a system-wide one and a user one or a session one maybe which disagree with one another, am I right? where would I find these? Thanks!!! | Mine is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf , and seems to work in standalone WMs (assuming you have an Elantech or Synaptics pad - they seem to be much of a muchness these days).

Hi, I can manually mount my various external devices (CD-ROM drive, hard drive, USB memory drives) fine, but I am baffled how to get udev to automatically mount them. E.g. plugging in the CD-ROM drive, /var/log/syslog shows: Code: Select allFeb 21 15:20:27 komputronik udevd[4966]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/mtp-probe' 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3 1 5': No such file or directory Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.600959] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=059b, idProduct=0252 Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.600964] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=56, Product=63, SerialNumber=79 Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.600968] usb 1-3: Product: Optical USB 2.0 Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.600971] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Iomega Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.600974] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: DEF109FBFA5F Feb 21 15:20:27 komputronik kernel: [27140.601333] scsi10 : usb-storage 1-3:1.0 Feb 21 15:20:28 komputronik kernel: [27141.601133] scsi 10:0:0:0: CD-ROM LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S JS05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Feb 21 15:20:28 komputronik kernel: [27141.604226] sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Feb 21 15:20:28 komputronik kernel: [27141.604491] sr 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 So it's being recognized and assigned to /dev/sr1, but not auto-mounted. (By the way, I assume this is unrelated to the mtp-probe message which shows up in the log as well, which has various debian bugs assigned to it https://www.google.com/search?q=udev+mtp-probe ; I have libmtp-common installed because vlc is installed, and automounting has never worked, even long before vlc was installed.) The automounting fails on both our computers which have debian sid installed. I see via ps that udevd is running. I am new to tinkering with udev stuff; is there some simple thing I'm overlooking? As far as I can tell, udev is supposed to normally "just work", and you shouldn't normally need to explicitly create udev rules, right? (Since one of the goals is to be able to plug in arbitrary disk drives or memory sticks and have them transparently automatically mount, right?) E.g. http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/udev.jspx makes it sound like normally auto-mounting should "just work" and needing to write custom rules is the exception.

Thank goldiman I apologize for my low level in english but i'm french | Hello, can you post your /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf file? Also: If you want it to be more secure, you can do it another way: If you have local access to the machine (you sit at it), you can change it to allow access only from your local ip (127.0.0.1). If you access it remote but also have access via ssh, you can set it to allow only the ip you currently have. This has to be done manually everytime your ip changes. And the third option would be, to install and configure openvpn and allow only this ip. To do this just add the lines I put bold: # phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php Order Deny,Allow Deny from all #Allow from (whichever private IP) Allow from 10.8 #enter your ip here, 127.0.0.1 if you are local, your remote ip if you are remote and the ip or network of your vpn if you use one like I do.. <IfModule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off php_flag track_vars On php_flag register_globals Off php_value include_path . </IfModule> </Directory> # Authorize for setup <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup> <IfModule mod_authn_file.c> AuthType Basic AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup" AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup </IfModule> Require valid-user </Directory> # Disallow web access to directories that don't need it <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries> Order Deny,Allow Deny from All </Directory> <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib> Order Deny,Allow Deny from All </Directory> I hope this helps..

In short I run through a very lengthy list of languages. My trusty stable does not do this so I have compared /etc/apt/apt.conf.d in both cases (seems the right place to look?) to see what might be there that controls this. I do not see it and I do not want to blindly copy files from stable to testing. I have looked at Debian Reference, especially chapter 2 and also package management on the wiki without seeing an answer. I searched the forum, but apparently without the right key-words. Can anyone point me to a solution? If it is in a document and I missed it just point me there. If you fixed this problem I surely would like to know how you did it. And thank you! | Do you have a bunch of languages enabled when you run dpkg-reconfigure locales |

Hi, As of just before 6.04 was released my update-manager in the taskbar continually shows orange and says I have 4 updates. If I launch it it will say my system is up to date. Close it, the alert is still there with 4 updates showing. If real updates do come in it'll go red and do the updates but will always say there's 4 more than there actually is. Clearly there's some file somewhere stuck with data in it. Anyone know how to clear this? | Update manager is a bit dim witted. I would turn it off.

I have an old laptop configured as a print server, and the client is another laptop. Both are running Debian Squeeze. Whenever I want to print from the client, I have to restart the CUPS daemon like this: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart Then I can print for a while, but after maybe 3 or 5 minutes, I can't print any more. In a GUI application, the list of printers is empty, or else it offers to print to a file or "Generic Printer". If I try to print with lpr foo.bar, I get lpr: Error - scheduler not responding! And lpstat -ta says scheduler is not running no system default destination lpstat: Connection refused lpstat: Connection refused lpstat: Connection refused lpstat: Connection refused lpstat: Connection refused Then if I restart CUPS again, everything is fine for another 3-5 minutes. There are no "Timeout" or "BrowseInterval" lines in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on either machine. Help!?? | 1. Can you still print on the server? 2. Where are you doing the diagnostis, client or server? 3. Can you still communicate with the server, e.g., can you ping it from the client? |
Hi, I just upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze and now when I enter startx I get a solid black screen and the computer does not respond to any keyboard input. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Esc, Alt-F2, Alt-F4, etc. all do nothing. No beeps or anything. I have an NVidia graphics card and have been using the proprietary NVidia drivers. I originally thought the problem might be related to this driver but I tried both the nv and vesa drivers and got the same results. Attached is my Xorg.log.0 file. It just ends after the GLX extension initialization. I am able to use ssh to login after running startx. Running "ps aux" from the remote machine I did not see a process for X. I copied the output below the Xorg.log.0 file. Any suggestions on what to try next to diagnose this?

Hi, I'm trying to add the latest packages from ftp.gnome.org into my Debian box. Is there an easy way to do that? | It looks like they are hosting a mirror of the Debian repository. Are those the packages that you want? If you mean add the latest packages from the gnome source code there, no, there's no quick and easy way, except be rich and pay somebody to compile and package them up for you quickly. |
I am not sure if this should be here or in Programming, but I chose Configuration. This is a very minor problem, but a little annoying. Every time I log in a message appears on the screen that remains until I close the box. It reads; Code: Select allOne or more XML syntax errors were found while parsing the Openbox configuration files. See stdout for more information. The last error see was in file "/home/randicus/.config/openbox/menu.xml" line 51, with message: Premature end of data in tag openbox_menu line 3 .xsession-errors says; Code: Select allOpenbox-Message: Unable to find a valid menu file "debian-menu.xml" /home/randicus/.config/openbox/menu.xml:50: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: menu line 8 and openbox_menu </openbox_menu> ^ /home/randicus/.config/openbox/menu.xml:51: parser error : Premature end of data in tag openbox_menu line 3 ^ Now the real problem. x.session-errors says Premature end of data in tag openbox_menu line 3. These are lines 3-6 in the menu.xlm; Code: Select all<openbox_menu xmlns="http://openbox.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://openbox.org/ file:///usr/share/openbox/menu.xsd"> These are original, un-edited lines. x.session-errors also says Opening and ending tag mismatch: menu line 8 and openbox_menu </openbox_menu> Again, the original, untouched line 8 in the menu.xml is <menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3"> Since the lines with errors came with the Openbox package down-loaded from the Debian repositories, it is not a problem of installing untrusted third party software. Either there is nothing wrong, but my system wrongly believes there is, or there is a symbol missing in each line. Having no programming knowledge, I have no idea what symbols to add in order to correct the lines, other than perhaps change Openbox 3 to Openbox-3. Line 3, not a clue. I should add that this began after I edited the end of the .xml to include log out, re-boot, suspend and shut down options. Before that, .xsession-errors always had the message "Unable to find a valid file 'debian_menu.xml,'" but the menu was present and everything worked fine. That is why I suspect the error message dialogue box is an error , but I would like to get rid of it, because it is a little annoying to have it pop up every time I log in. This situation can probably be rectified by adding two or three symbols, but I am completely out of my element. Line 3 is the one that really confuses me. Do any of you programming gurus have a solution or do I just bear with the pop-up dialogue box? And no, I have not searched the internet for an answer, because I have no idea where to begin. EDIT I made a mistake in the wording of the original post. The error dialogue box appears when logging in with a re-boot. It does not appear if logging in after suspending using the Openbox menu. | Randicus wrote: Now the real problem. x.session-errors says Premature end of data in tag openbox_menu line 3.

Actually what you've listed there as lines 3-6 is really just one line. Notice it begins with a "<" and ends with a ">" ... that's always the thing you want to look for when manually parsing xml (which sometimes drives me crazy, too.) I'm guessing you're missing a "<" or ">" somewhere. |
Hi Im setting up a Debian Squeeze box for a friend across town and need advise on the best way to access it remotley. The box has a Gnome GUI installed (as Im not familiar enough with Linux yet to be able to operate soley from the CLI) and will be used primarily to run Eiskalt, Xchat and run network monitoring software ie NTOP / Nagios. (There are 10 Windows machines on the network I need to monitor bandwidth usage for.) The 10 machines inc the Debian box will be conected to a Mikrotik 750GL Routerboard in turn conected to an ADSL Modem. Given there is a GUI; what is the simplest / most secure way for me to access this machine from across town from both my Mint / Wheezy / Microsoft Machines. Thanks | X forwarding over ssh will be faster than VNC. You would do well to get up to speed on the CLI, it is so much easier. |

Hi guys! I'm quite new to this forum, please excuse if i'm posting in a wrong place. I'm using Debian for a while now, since Sarge, but I've never had a problem with network. I'm experiencing a problem with internet connection at work. Our sysadmin is more like an "anykey" guy, so he can't help me. The problem is in high ping latency to internet, although download speed, once it started, is fine. At the same time a ping to the main router is fine. DNS is working properly. Other guys in my room, that are connected to the same switch do not have a problem with their network.

System has somewhat clean install - netinstall of Wheezy on xfce 4.8, lightdm and Compiz as window manager. Few panel plug-ins. Yet the CPU idling (~10) and peaks are way worse than they're on my Ubuntu 10.10 installation, which is more bloated (as in many processes running by default). Running Iceweasel makes CPU usage go to (near) 100% very frequently, almost always on heavy scrolling; lags when opening tabs etc. One 3D application is running noticeably poorer on Wheezy. Both systems have proprietary GPU drivers installed. Has anyone else experienced same issue? (Ubuntu has 2.6.35-30-generic and Wheezy 3.1.0-1-486) | I have heard of issues in the ATI drivers for Wheezy. I assume this is what you have? You might want to use the open source drivers for now. Nvidia, dunno, normally the drivers are great. Since this happens with scrolling this seems to me to be a GPU issue. What is the processes using up most cpu time. Use the command top to find out. |
Hi I've just puchased a toshiba L770. I installed debian 6, with a few backports (mainly nvidia driver and libreoffice). Almost everything is ok, except suspend/hibernate, which is really frustrating to investigate because it implies a lot of hard reset .. Symptoms: pm-suspend, screen goes black, and the disk halts. Then (1 second later) a blinking text cursor appears on top left corner, and the fan stays on (idle). No disk activity, keyboard won't respond, no way to fire the computer back. I have to press the power button for about 5seconds, hard reboot. I've tried to rmmod nvidia module (telinit 3, rmmod nvidia, pm-suspend), I've upgraded to "testing" (yuk, gnome shell ), tried kernel 2.6.36 and 3.2, tried to rmmod all USB, sound, and WiFi modules just in case. The pm-suspend log won't tell anything wrong, even in debug mode. ACPI seems to be working fine since I can modify sound and brightness, toshiba acpi module is loaded, battery state is read ok, CPU performance is read/set ok ... How could I investigate any further ? Thanks for your inputs. (I have not tried yet booting on a ubuntu live .. might be worth a try) | Hi again, I decided to migrate to testing, just in case. But the backports (kernel 3.2 for example) got me into trouble so I did a fresh re-install of wheezy. Now the boot process fails, even in maintenance mode. I eventually managed to boot (after blindly killing two processes ..) but neither pm-suspend nor poweroff will work ! I'm stuck. Trying ubuntu live ... |
Hello, I'm using debian 6.0.3 AMD64 on a server. The package installed are : libnss-mysql libpam-mysql All the virtual users use the apache uid and gid (33:33) since we have special needs. I set up nss using these tutorials : http://www.idimmu.net/2010/08/27/Keepin ... -On-Ubuntu http://www.spencerstirling.com/computer ... luser.html The problem i'm encoutering is that although /var/www is owner by www-data (user and group), it changes to one of the virtual users (test2 in my case - i have from test1 to test20 actually in the database). So after some times, /var/www is owner by test2:www-data. A chown changes nothing, only a reboot does. When looking for a username, pam looks first in the local base (shadow, group), then in mysql. Changing the lookup order didn't fix the issue. Does someone has a idea to help me ? Thanks, Shadok | You should never have conflicting UIDs nor GIDs - it's asking for trouble. If a system that you're using requires that, you need to fix the broken system. What are you actually trying to do by this twisted means? |

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, so I'll start here on the forums, then report it as a bug, if need be. I've just moved my home server from Ubuntu server to Debian. During the setup, I used an old motherboard (just the MB, PS and 'root' hard drive sitting on the table) so I could take my time and still have access to my files, mail and sql databases. The old motherboard didn't have on board video, so I used an old Nvidia card. Everything went well up until I moved the hard drive over to the new motherboard. On first boot, I had nothing after the grub menu. The screen flashed a few lines (too quick to read), then went blank. The system seemed to just not boot up at all, although all LED indications were that the system was booting up. I went online and discovered that I'd need to tell udev about the new network card. I booted into rescue mode(from the flash drive), deleted "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" and rebooted. Great, now that networking is working, my initial thought that the system was working, was confirmed. Everything was working, NFS shares were being shared, sql database was being databased, email was being fetched and hosted correctly, but still no video after the few lines were flashed after grub, even if I choose recovery mode. I know this has something to do with the fact I initially installed with an Nvidia card, and now no longer have that. For some reason, the text console is being put into a graphical mode that still thinks it's using an Nvidia card. I need help trying to figure out how to get video back. I don't often use this machine locally, but when I need to, I'd like to be able to see what I'm doing. Also, should this be reported as a bug that there is no 'normal' text terminal mode, or a feature request to have a completely text mode interface setting during install? This is (normally) a headless server. There is no reason to take up resources, no matter how small, with graphical renderings of the terminal. | dasein wrote:(Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that your assumptions are wrong, merely that they are both numerous and as yet untested.) |
Hi Folks, This is going to be a newbie question, but it seems that things have changed in the configuration, namely in my.cnf it says... # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on # localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure. # bind-address = 127.0.0.1 ...so the advice I'm digging up on searches is probably the wrong advice to follow ... hence I'm posting here. Long story short ... I built an LXDE server to replace another one (ISO downloaded fresh last night) and let it run on DHCP while I configured it. The time came to swap the servers and give the new one its static IP, so I gave the interface a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces Most things are working fine, with the exception of the connection to MySQL. "Could not connect: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 110" Outside the machine I can connect to Mysql with no problem. This means I've missed something, somewhere. LAMP configuration is LXDE, Apache2, PHP5 and whatever MySql was downloaded when I did an apt-get. Can someone help me out please? Many thanks, Michelle. | Um ... apparently, it just needed ... just that one more reboot. Sorry folks. |
Is anyone here using text-based browsers and mail software? For around a week a month when my mobile broadband has run out I'll be using bluetooth and a mobile phone for internet and would like to know how to set up Mutt or Cone to send and receive using my Yahoo! email or a freshly set up one if another provider would be easier. I did not understand the initial configuration while installing Mutt and the man file didn't clear things up. Bluetooth and a phone is nominally twice dial-up speed but it's pretty painful more than half the time, even with the Midori browser and images disabled. Thanks. | There are limited graphical web browsers like links2 (which is an easy to use text browser too) or dillo. elinks is an easy text browser too but I don't know if you would have any advantage by running, for instance, links in the terminal or using its graphical version. As for mutt, or other terminal based mail client, I don't know but I think you have to do some reading to set'em up. |
Hello helpful and curious Debian users! I have a bit of a problem. I'm brand new to Debian, and I can't get my laptop to find wireless networks. Laptop: Dell Inspiron 600m Computer Modifications: None besides uninstalling Windows XP and replacing it with Ubuntu, and now replacing that with Debian. Wireless Network Card: Broadcom 440x Gigabit Integrated Controller (which is a "4318" card. Idk what that means, but it is helpful I think.) Desktop Environment: (if it helps for you to know) LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) Installed Drivers: (via NDISWrapper) Any .inf file (NDISWrapper only uses .inf files) that I could find in the driver folder that I got from Dell's website. Back when I used Ubuntu, the solution was to install the following three packages: bcmwl-kernel-source firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter Then reboot. Then uninstall the first package in that list. And reboot again. I cannot find these packages anymore using Synaptic, Aptitude, or "apt-get install [package name]". Can someone please help? I'm willing to give further information if needed. Thanks in advance, Bman P.S. I have other computers and an ethernet cable in case something needs to be downloaded. | http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx |
I am using Debian 6.04 and since my reinstall, none of my 32-bit applications seem to be working right. (well the few I tried). I have ia32-libs and dev installed and Katawa Shoujo refuses to launch with nothing doing (error message says broken pipe, however it works with the same package on 32-bit). Also trying to compile wine it complains I need 32-bit libfreetype development package however I actually have libfreetype in /usr/lib32.. so.. what the heck!? Also what is with the 32-bit mesa issue and Wine, where acceleration will not work. Has that been solved? | Hi, vbrummond. Trying to understand your issue, are you running the AMD64 version of squeeze and using 32bit applications on that system? |
I just did a fresh netinstall of Debian Testing after upgrading to an SSD, and after aligning, partitioning, and installing, the power applet was missing. I've tried starting it in terminal, but it refuses to acknowledge its existence. I've --reinstall 'ed the package, but to no avail. If I had an error or a log to post, I would, but all I've got is a missing applet. Any ideas? | I thought I'd post my own answer here in case anyone else has the same issue, since no one could help me. Apparently as of Gnome Shell 3.2 gnome-power-manager no longer controls power management, only related statistics. The requisite packages for battery support within the shell are now gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-extra, which my install failed to see as a necessary dependency in my circumstance. Installing them fixed my issue, hope it helps someone else. |
Acer Aspire 5520 laptop, wireless works, I am writing from it. Driver was installed upon installation of OS. Using wheezy, on amd64 architecture. Very annoying problems since installing widget. It installs kwallet too, and, since the wireless connection uses WPA/WPA2 Personal security it does need a password to connect. This password should be saved in the management tool, which is set to connect automatically to that network, but that does not happen, every time I start computer I have to re-enter password for kwallet because kdaemon requests it. I am thinking of purging this widget and kwallet, and install some other network manager. Weird thing is that I have it working flawlessly on another computer, Pavilion dv8000, amd64 too. Well, maybe not that flawlessly because it was failing to connect until I disabled wireless, that laptop is cabled, but to disable wireless should not be necessary. The worst thing is that this laptop will not connect wirelessly when I shut down X, so all updates and dist-upgrades I have to do cabled. I prefer to dist-upgrade in text mode only and now impossible without cable. | stevepusser wrote:Try wicd-kde or Ceni from aptosid. Both will not drop a connection out of X, and Ceni can even be configured without a GUI at all, since it uses an ncurses terminal interface. You will need to uninstall network-manager or disable its handling of wireless to have Wicd work. Wicd has ncurses client interface as well as the gtk one, but I presume that is just to configure it - the daemon should fire up the connection if it is set to auto, whether the client is running or not. You can also go commando and just set it up yourself in /etc/network/interfaces. |

Package management is one of the best features of Debian so it is very distressing when I break it and can't fix it on my own! I am accustomed to using kpackage under Lenny, and after some initial troubles years ago it worked fine for me, and I know how to add repositories if I am given a deb line. I am adjusting to using gnome2 under Squeeze, which favors synaptic which I never liked much compared to kpackage. Now I remember why: my package management has been wrecked, probably because I tried to add a repository using the synaptic menu, or possibly because I somehow wound up with only one repo listed and that one happened to be down or something. I tried to figure out how to fix it on my own and only made things worse. Now my updating is completely jammed even when I try Code: Select allapt-get update instead of trying synaptic or update-manager. I see rather frightening error messages like Code: Select allW: Failed to fetch... Something wicked happened resolving 'ftp.de.debian.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) repeated for everything in sources.list. From iftop &c it appears that apt isn't even trying to find the repos. (But iceweasel can surf so the problem is not simply that my internet connection died.) I assume the hostname mentioned in this error is the repo hostname? I found nothing useful in wiki.debian.org/SourcesList or at debian.org. I tried reading the man pages for apt-get, synpatic, update-manager, &c but these appear to contain no hints about how to fix the situation if you get such error messages. I tried searching this forum but didn't turn up anything. After trying less drastic measures, I tried substituting Squeeze for Lenny in old sources.list and copying to /etc/apt/sources.list but this doens't work either. I am guessing that there may be some kind of lock file I might need to remove before I can to upgrade again. I found a /var/lib/dpkg/lock but don't know if I should remove that or what. Suggestions for further reading (even a search keyword might help since I am having no luck) or tips for possible fixes? Also, something I should have asked before this happened (despite recent sniping by some here): what is the "safest" method of setting up repos the way you want them? I vaguely recall that when I used kpackage we were supposed to use the provided tool rather than messing with /etc/apt/sources.list directly. Also, I vaguely recall being told that it should usually be possible to simply substitute squeeze for lenny is many lines in /etc/apt/sources.list. Is that correct?

I did a fresh install of Debian Squeeze and decided to change the hostname.
