I have this package dependency question for a while. I have brand new Squeeze system. I selected desktop during installation. Gnome is default system but I turned off gdm3 and uses fluxbox as window manager. I understand if two packages are tied together funtionally so that removal of either package terminates one feature. Above cases, many small packages only depends on the core packages. The core packages work fine without games, other programs. There are so many programs that I want to remove in the system. For examples, ekiga is a VoIP program that I never use it. When I tried to remove it using apt-get or aptitude, it suggests entire gnome packages will be removed also, which is illogical. The only solution I found is I need to manually remove the package files. I haven't tried it yet. | There is the concept of the 'metapackage'. A metapackage is a package that exists simply to depend on other packages so you can install them in a collection. The packages "gnome" and "gnome-desktop-environment" are examples of these. Just removing "gnome" will not remove any packages. Carefull inspect specific package names (such as "nautilus" "empathy") to really see what is being removed. If just ekiga and gnome are being removed it is quite safe to do so. Note though it may mark packages for auto-removal, just do not blindly run apt-get autoremove and they will stay installed. Hope that answers your query. |

I've got Debian Sid x64 on my machine. Problem is that in my KDE setup several programs don't work, namely System Load Viewer plasmoid, plasmoid with temperature info and update-notifier-kde. System Load Viewer always shows 0% RAM and swap usage, as well as no processors, temperature sensors plasmoid shows no sensors available even after I installed lm-sensors and run sensors-detect, update-notifier-kde doesn't show any notifications even if I run aptitude update manualy. I might be mistaken but it seems to me that these three programs are not working because of some common reason, most likely some policy package either missing or misconfigured, but I can't figure out what is it. Does anybody have any ideas to suggest how I can troubleshoot this problem? | You might not go for this but... Code: Select allaptitude remove kde aptitude install xfce4 best choice I ever made |
Good evening, since upgrading the squeeze kernel from 2.6.26-2-686 to 2.6.32-5-686 I´ve been unable to boot my HP D510S/845G without attached monitor. As this computer serves as router and print/faxserver, there is/was neither a monitor nor a keyboard/mouse attached. With monitor everything works fine, without monitor the computer hangs somewhere. Unfortunately it hangs without logging anything in /var/log. Reinstalling xorg and xserver-xorg didn´t change anything, neither was the new xorg.conf from dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg of any use. (After booting with attached monitor I disconnected the monitor and ran dpkg-reconfigure) Maybe disabling Xorg would solve the problem, but I want to be able to log in via vnc and use a GUI - for example to configure mythtv. Up to the kernel-update everything was working fine, so I think some changes to the new kernel are responsible. Any ideas how to fix it or how to start logging earlier in the boot process? Thanks a lot, Michael | Try insert in "Monitor" Section in xorg.conf Code: Select allOption "IgnoreEDID" "true" Peter. |
I have previously installed freeradius on squeeze for testing purposes. Then I would remove it, and all it configuration files by aptitude purge freeradius. But it did not remove the /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf file, so I removed the /etc/freeradius directory manually. Then I tried to install freeradius again, but it does not create the radiusd.conf file, so it is unable to start. How can I get this conf file back when installing the package? Secondly why does aptitude purge <package> not remove all config files as inteded ? | Nope linux assumes you knew what you were doing when you removed the conf file. From the dpkg bot in #debian the reason you have to use dpkg --force-confmiss is because whenever your config files are gone, dpkg assumes you deleted them on purpose, and that you want them to stay deleted. You can also reinstall them using the following apt-get line: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename> |
Hi. I've got a fresh Wheezy/Xfce install. I'm trying to access a remote samba share the gigolo way. It is an external USB hard drive connected to my router. I can access it read only using the following URL with Icedove : smb://bbox/ Gigolo I've been following this easy tutorial : http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=52144 Basically, that's it : Code: Select allsudo apt-get install gigolo sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse sudo gpasswd -a your_user_name fuse and then logout/login (I even rebootted since) gigolo starts but doesn't find anything : empty list, nothing seen in the neighbourhood. Code: Select allgigolo -v does not say anything more Trying "connect" in gigolo using an URI like //bbox/ or smb://bbox/ or such didn't work. fusesmb I then did the following, from other sources on the web, installing necessary fuse package(s) : Code: Select allmkdir samba fusesmb samba In spite of this warning : params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/home/jerome/.smb/smb.conf": No such file or directory params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/home/jerome/.smb/smb.conf.append": I could list the content of my external remote hard drive using : Code: Select allls -l samba/WORKGROUP/BBOX/MEMUP_500GB/ At this point appeared a line in gigolo about a connected unix peripheral named samba. I was able to create an empty file on the disk browing it with thunar, then I tried to erase that same file and I got an error about final node unconnected. Same error when opening thunar again, preventing me from accessing my homedir. Code: Select allls -l ~ yields (among other lines) : Code: Select alld????????? ? ? ? ? ? samba Fuse-unmounting the thing doesn't work : Code: Select allfusesmb -u sambaparams.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/home/jerome/.smb/smb.conf": No such file or directory params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/home/jerome/.smb/smb.conf.append": Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type fuse: bad mount point `samba': Noeud final de transport n'est pas connecté Rebooting (or perhaps simply relogging) cleans this and I get access to my home directory again. Anyway, this is just to try and give might-be-useful information, but ultimately, I don't really want to use fusesmb. I would rather have the gigolo way working, allowing local network shares browsing, auto-connect, etc. Anyone has an idea why I can't find anything with gigolo ? I'd be thankful. Good night. | I'm realizing that since I'm using Xfce 4.8, gigolo should not be needed. Xfce 4.8 tour indicates that Thunar now has optional support for GVFS which will allow you to browse remote shares using Thunar: FTP, Windows Shares, WebDav and SSH servers... I don't see any help about how to use this. Is it because it is supposed be so automatic it doesn't deserve any explanation ? It says "optional". What should I enable, then ? Perhaps it does not work automatically on my machine for the same reason gigolo doesn't. Could it be linked to the "domain" name I entered at installation ? I remember being asked for a "domain" (not sure it was the exact term, besides I ran the installer in french) during the installation and I kept the default name : "lan". Should it be "Workgroup" ? I don't think so. I kind of remember keeping default "Workgroup" as a name in another setting. |
Hi all! I use Lenny amd64 archtecture and I have been trying to install a couple of different developing packages. They all end up with dependencies errors, that packages requires a specific version of another package but another version will be installed.

Marcux | Usually that means that you have some libraries installed that are from upstream of Lenny (Lenny's is 2.12, and you have a 2.14 from someplace else), and since the -dev packages have to match the installed libraries, a matching version cannot be discovered in the Lenny repositories. Aptitude was really good in Lenny in resolving this, at the possible cost of removing whatever needs those upgraded libraries. Have you tried as root: Code: Select allaptitude install libgtkmm-2.4-dev and let it see what it can do? |
Hi, My laptop has /dev/sda5 mounted on /. It has 10GiB and almost full. I formated Windows XP partition and it is now /dev/sda1 ext4 45GiB free space. When I mounted /dev/sda1 to root (/) directory, df commands showed still the original partition size. (81% used). I assumed Should I use different mount point? Or It is Okay? | Let me paraphrase to see if I understand. * /dev/sda1 used to be windows, but you scrapped that and now it's empty. * /dev/sda5 is / and is too full * You want to make /dev/sda5 bigger What do you mean you mounted /dev/sda1 to the root partition? You mean over top of it or in a subdirectory of it? Neither will increase the size of the original /dev/sda5. You need to do just that - grow /dev/sda5. Since you can't do that while it's in use, boot off a livecd and open up the disk with gparted, delete /dev/sda1 (under my current assumption that it is empty) and resize /dev/sda5. |
I downloaded and installed the netinst image of squeeze. After booting into squeeze, udev wouldn't create /dev/ttyUSB0-3 after I plugged in my Novatel wireless 760 modem.

I want to add a boot up splash screen to my Debian installation but I cannot find a splash screen manager in the repos.

Hello all, I am running on debian squeeze 6.0.2. I have been using it for the last id say 3 weeks and really am enjoying it. I generally use transmission-gtk to share files over the internet. Normally I seed torrents at 110-160kb/s for hours at a time. However after messing around with firestarter my upload speed for seeding torrents rarely peaks over 70kb/s. I have purged firestarter with no success of my regular upload speed, and am very confused as to what happened. I also notice sometimes when it will get to about 70kb/s it will immediately drop down to the 20-30kb/s range. For incoming bittorrent connections I use port 37294. I have set port 37294 to be allowed in my firewall, and forwarded in my router (since purging firestarter did not help I just reinstalled it). I have also read allowing ports 6881-6889 is important, but I have never done that in my history of using torrents, and I have never experienced a decrease in UL speed like this. Have I done something incorrect? I have never had this issue on other machines? Any ideas? Thanks again! | it might be a bad torrent file, are all torrents slow or just this one. |
Hello, After following instructions on DebianWiki on enabling wireless internet, I installed the firmware package appropriate for my broadcom BCM43224 controller, which was "firmware-brcm80211". Upon installing this package and loading the kernel module, either with the modprobe command or with reboot, my system becomes unbootable and a kernel panic happens but non-verbose so I can't see it. To me the boot process just hangs at a random spot near the end. Uninstalling the package from recovery mode will allow my system to boot again. The problem is that I need that package to enable my WiFi. Another package called "broadcom-sta" supposedly supports my controller, but it didn't enable my wireless. Strangely, the brcm80211 package worked for me once before in a previous Squeeze installation, but in this installation it causes the system to become unbootable. My kernel is the default Squeeze stock kernel 2.6.32-5. No I can't upgrade to a newer kernel because my graphics drivers won't work if I do that, and again, the package worked once before with the same kernel. Any help with either fixing the kernel panic or finding another way to enable my wireless would be appreciated.

Good day. I would appear that I recently installed linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64. Since then I have noted that my HP media bar up top doesn't work. This means I can't enable/disable wireless. From an lspci output, it still sees the hardware, and it's loaded, however, not functioning. Should I be looking at rolling the kernel back, or work on getting it working via some other means ?

Hie everyone, it's just a question about something weird happening here on my computer. It's about the ethernet driver. I've got a Dell Optiplex Desktop here, the CPU is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz. The integrated ethernet here is from intel also, it's a 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection. This computer is running a Debian Squeeze 64bits, distrib sid, kernel 2.6.39-2-amd64. Well, here goes the story. I had a lot of trouble with the ethernet card, being very slow, and it just didn't work when i was using tftp. So I downloaded and compiled the latest driver available on Intel website. Currently with debian sid, the version for the driver ( e1000e ) is version: 1.3.10-k2. From Intel I got the version 1.3.17-NAPI. Alright, so I build it, and move the module manually to the right place, replacing the previous version at the same time ie : Code: Select all$ sudo cp e1000e.ko /lib/modules/2.6.39-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko This fix my problem. However, there is is still something bothering me. When I want to check, after rebooting, that I did it right, here is what happens : Code: Select all$ sudo ethtool -i eth1 driver: e1000e version: 1.3.10-k2 Dammit ! looks like the old driver isn't ready to leave ! More disturbing, I ask to modinfo now : Code: Select all$ sudo modinfo e1000e filename: /lib/modules/2.6.39-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko version: 1.3.17-NAPI So, which one should I trust ? Is there something I didn't do properly when installing the module ? Or maybe I just don't understand ethtool and modinfo enough. | A little bit more information. After I reboot my machine, I do a : Code: Select all$ lsmod | grep e1000e e1000e 128034 0 Well, now, try to remove and insert the module again, and compare the size : Code: Select all$ sudo modprobe -r e1000e $ sudo modprobe e1000e $ lsmod | grep e1000e e1000e 145794 0 This is definitely not the same driver, ethtool was right. So, why the driver loaded at boot time is not the one I compiled and put in /lib/modules.... ?? |
I'm building a Debian Live system, http://live.debian.net/, and I've pared it down to a very light distro. It is using the IceWM, has the basic linux commands, and very very little else. When I run "top" and "ps aux", I see that I have multiple terminals and logins waiting to be used. It's a small amount, but I'd like to make that RAM usable elsewhere. The indicated commands are: "/bin/login -f" and "-bash", and I have one of each associated with each tty[1-7]. I may want to keep tty1 and tty2, just in case, but I can't imagine wanting 3-7. So, what I'm looking for is a way to stop tty[3-7] from even starting in the first place. I saw on one forum the suggestion of modifying the /etc/init/tty[1-7].conf files, but these files aren't present, I presume because it's a "Live" system. Thanks for any help. *********EDIT********************* The solution turned out to be modifying the /etc/inittab file and commenting the lines for the terminals I didn't want that "respawned" the terminals. I had tried this, but the changes weren't propagating due to a bad squashfs-tools build. ************************************ | Edit /etc/inittab.

I am running testing on a HP Eliteboko 8530P. I did an upgrade of the packages, and it was complaining about the fglrx packages, I am using. So I decided to remove these manually instead, and then run the upgrade again. Now, when I boot, it comes with the grub menu, I select debian, and it starts to boot. Then right after waiting for dev to be fully populated, it changes the screen resolution I asume, because the screen gets all borked up, and "crimpled". I have tried to set gfxpayload=1024x768, which it alsos accepts, and it sets the resolution, but it does the exact same thing, as when this is not set. Now I am woundering, if this is because I am missing the fglrx packages / drivers. What an I do? | My boot sequence does the same thing. It starts in 640x800 and then changes to a higher resolution after about 4 lines. All my systems do this. I think it has to do with the nouveau driver i use for my nvidia card. |
Browsing the web I often open a number of links in background tabs. I'm finding that a great many pages don't load, though if I open that tab, stop the loading and do a page refresh they usually do. The problem is browser independent and appears to be related to my iptables firewall: even the simplest stateful firewall rule set produces the problem but if I disable any firewall the problem disappears. I do not have this problem in Win7 with firewall enabled. I had something like this come up maybe a year ago and it had to do with the way more and more websites stream outside content. The solution then was to go to a different firewall script, one frankly more advanced than my understanding of iptables. So can anyone knowledgable in iptables give me some ideas? Or can someone recommend an advanced firewall package I can install from the repos? And please not gufw | From the symptoms you describe, it really doesn't sound like your issue is a firewall problem. That is, if a manual refresh loads the page, then it's hard to imagine how the firewall is blocking the page's content. Seems to me as though a first step would be to confirm that it is in fact a firewall issue. So, next time you run into this issue, go ahead and disable your firewall right that instant, but do NOT manually refresh the page in question. If the firewall is the issue, it seems plausible to imagine that disabling it in "real time" ought to allow the page to finish loading. If you post back, please include a BUNCH more information. Browser(s)/version(s), detailed h/w config, 'Net connection type, for starters. Does the issue happen on specific pages? If so, provide URLs. A generic problem report really isn't much to go on. |

My debian machine works fine other that it loses network after a few (12 or so) hours. The dhclient manages to renew the DHCP lease the first time, after a few hours, but later when it tries again the modem gives a DHCPNAK. If I understood correctly, this should make the dhclient to fetch a new ip address but it does nothing. I am no expert so I don't know if the cause is the modem box or the debian. There are other (windows) machines connected to the modem box which work fine. The machines are behind NAT. The debian machine does not currently have a display or a graphics card so it's difficult to start messing with the settings. I've considered having a static ip but I don't understand why the dynamic address doesn't work. What is weird is that it worked fine for several weeks and suddenly started failing. I was running a minecraft server (hehe) with an uptime of several weeks. At first I though it was a hardware issue because I thought the whole computer froze but instead it just drops the connection and I can no longer reach it with SSH or anything. My timezone is UTC+3, /etc/default/rcS has UTC=yes, I believe it is the reason why the lease and the logs differ by three hours. I already tried to reinstall dhclient and networkmanager but it didn't seem to help. Naturally I've done apt-get update & upgrade. The machine is only running apache2+mysql+php5, GDM is stopped.

Should the modem give DHCPNAK at all? Thanks in advance. | First off, why do you use network-manager at all? You have no wireless and the computer is in a fixed network, there is absolutely no reason using it. Instead use the linux standard networking, that is more stable than network-manager. Just edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, configure the interface (after removing network-manager of course). Also, if the machine is in a fixed location, there is no reason using DHCP. Assign a fixed address outside the dhcp range and thats it. DHCP is ok for laptops if you switch networks or access points, but other than that, in a fixed network it is not useful because a fixed ip is more simple to configure (and it stays that way) than relying on a dhcp server to assign the same ip to computers (which is doable, but its an unnecessary complication in this case). BTW the issue might be related to the network-manager package, not the Linux networking stack. Also, your clock (and date) should be adjusted with ntp servers in regular intervals (via crontab for example) and make sure that it is set correctly. You might run in all kinds of problems (ssl/tls/other encryption-using techniques fail and whatnot) with an off-set clock. |
I was trying to sync my Tungsten E with Debian Squeeze and it would just hang as if there was no connection. Trying pilot-link -l resulted in a message saying that it was looking for a new usb connection (or something to that effect) and would never connect. jpilot is set to use "usb:". I moved to my laptop, which has Ubuntu Lucid, installed jpilot and it synced just fine using "usb:". What is "usb:"? How do I troubleshoot it? It seems to me that is the problem with my debian install. Thanks in advance. | I wouldn't be surprised if Ubuntu has "gnome-pilot" and/or "gnome-pilot-conduits" installed by default. I also notice that "jpilot" recommends "jpilot-plugins" and suggests "jpilot-backups". Are those packages installed on your debian machine? Not to suggest you should do this on a regular basis, but for testing purposes, does it work if you try and run pilot-link or jpilot as root? That might suggest that you need to write/copy some udev rules https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmDeviceSetup and/or add yourself to a group with privileges to access the device. |

Hi. Yesterday I installed debian "squeeze" on my desktop pc and everything is good so far. I'm used to using sudo and gksudo for tasks that require root permissions (ubuntu). How do I properly setup sudo and gksudo in debian to function the way it does in ubuntu? I found this guide: http://gaffa.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/c ... -for-sudo/ However I don't know if it would be safe to follow it. If I could get some help on this it would be great. | There is no reason you shouldn't use sudo/gksudo. You probably learned this using ubuntu. In Debian you can use su and then enter your root password. You then just enter the command you want to run as root. You can't do that in ubuntu. Ubuntu does not want you to have that kind of control over YOUR system. If you really, really want to use sudo/gksudo then search the forum it has been answered many times before. |
Hello, on my netbook I've tried to make possible for my user to shutdown without needing a password. This is necessary, because battery could run low when I'm not in front of it. Editing sudoers has allowed my user to shutdown the system, but Gnome still prompts me for the root password whenever root is logged in too. That's usually the case, because to avoid entering the root password multiple times whenever I need elevated privileges and not wanting to cache the root password, I keep a Root Terminal always open. Is there a way around this? Thanks. | Try first logout as user and when the GDM greeting will be appear, shutdown from menu on the bottom, but I'm not sure that is will work. Peter. |
I'm trying to secure one of my database servers before openin it up to the wider world, but since enabling ssl on the sql server it it refusing to allow me to log in via phpmyadmin. I can connect via the local mysql client without a problem. I have put $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = TRUE; in the config.inc.php in /etc/phpmyadmin the users are configured in the user table of the databse to need ssl for login, and are set to x509 in the 'ssl_type' field If I log in via the mysql client then it lets me in (even as root) and I can do everything normally (I am presuming it is connecting using ssl as if I remove the keys from the [Client] section of the my.conf then it refuses to let me log in. When I do log in it puts a sucesfull login entry into the mysql log for root@localhost However if i try it via phpmyadmin it put a login refused for 'root@localhost' - with no reason given.

Do I need client keys and certs for php? before the mysql clinet will let me in? - If so where do I need to put them? Many Thanks James | Done a bit more digging and added the ca, cert and key fields to the phpmyadmin file as well as a forcessl. the login screen is displayed, so i presume that the file format is correct, however its not forcing the ssl connection for apache, so I presume its not doing the ssl connection to the mysql server either. If there another config file i have missed that is overwriting these settings? If so is their a way of finding out what phpmyadmin is readin them as - I'm that well up on php... James |
I have installed squeeze on a HP notebook. I have one small problem though. It does not resume from suspend.

Hi, I have installed Debian squeeze 6.0.1 using the CD1 of the i686 version (kernel 2.6.32.5) on my compaq presario sr1799es desktop. My machine has a ethernet card RTL8139 (RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+) (it has no wireless card). I can't connect to internet with debian. I can connect to internet in this machine using windows xp. I also checked with the Puppy linux 5.2.5 version (with kernel 2.6.33.2) using a usb memory and I had success connecting to internet by dhcp. I already checked lots of forums with related questions but I couldn't find a solution for my problem.

Hi. I am an old Debian user, ho just reinstalled it again to see how it evolved since my las version (3.2). I am sharing it with Arch Linux, And decided to let bot of them. I am using GDM compiled and configured in Arch, and removed GDM2 from Debian (i just like the easy menu.list from the old GDM). The problem is that when i update the kernel, it didn't fing GDM and drops an error message. I tried removing the distro-preconfigured Kernels, as i compiled my own 3.0.0-rc2 Kerenel, but i cant delete the previous ones. Now everytime i do an install or uptgrade, apt-get drops wastes some time, and drops an error message: Failed to process /etc/kernel/postrm.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64.postrm line 234. --> kernel i want to remove the subprocces installed returned the error code 1 (this isn't exact, becuase i have my distro in Spanish). What can i do? i googled some similar errors, but where just messed up mirror.lists, or similar, i know it isnt the cause of fail. | vladimir1986 wrote:I am using GDM compiled and configured in Arch, and removed GDM2 from Debian (i just like the easy menu.list from the old GDM). Did you mean GRUB instead of GDM? It would make more sense. If that were the case, install the package grub-legacy to use the former GRUB. |

I have installed the Nvidia drivers on my desktop using http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers according to the Debian way. Everything seems to be fine except the resolution. The best it will let me choose is something like 600x480. I have searched and most of what is suggested around the web is to change xorg.conf. I have tried this using different setting suggested but nothing is working. I did not have a xorg.conf file so I created one with the setting suggested on the Debian wiki.

Hello everyone, My current Operating System is Debian Squeeze and I am very new to Debian. I have been using Linux Ubuntu since 9.10 so I do have a little experience with using the Terminal and other minor things. For the past week or two, I have had a problem mounting external devices. It doesn't matter whether it's a camera, USB Flashdrive, or an external hard disk - no matter what it is, it just will not mount (on it's own). When I add a device to my Laptop, absolutely NOTHING happens, and I can't find it in my /media folder. When I open Gparted, I do find the devices and what the system recognizes them as - such as /dev/sdb and others. I have been able to mount these external devices, by connecting them to my Laptop and then I do the following: 1. Open Gparted to find what the device is called 2. Open Terminal (as root) and type the command: mount /dev/DEVICENAME /mnt/folder_i_created_for_device After that I go to the folder I want and I can access files (but ONLY as root - as normal user I don't have any privileges except viewing items, so if I want to actually USE the device I have to type in "nautilus" while in root terminal so I can access files and folders as root). When I'm done with what I need, I can close the window, and then I open the root terminal again, and to unmount the device I used I type: umount /dev/MY_DEVICE Edited to add this: If you need a look at my FSTAB: Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=3f27e93a-195a-4f85-be77-7f0585829d7b / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /var was on /dev/sda2 during installation UUID=89c9af8c-0d7e-40dd-8334-61f481a4657c /var ext4 defaults 0 2 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=e7bb469d-5e22-4d8f-a67a-fc99fb438f40 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda2 is the partition on which I have my files (mounted in /var) - Then I have my System partition sda1 and my swap ON sda5... So, my FSTAB doesn't even show any other devices (in case that's unusual) Can anyone help me with correcting this? When I first installed Debian, when I connected an external drive to my Laptop it would automatically be mounted, and as a normal user I obviously had access to my files... Many Thanks! EDITED TO ADD THIS: June 12, 2011 Two ways to solve this: 1. open terminal as root and paste the command Code: Select allroot@stephen:/home/stephen# mount -a 2. Reinstall your system (as I did since that wasn't the only complication I had.) | rhss62011 wrote: Can anyone help me with correcting this? When I first installed Debian, when I connected an external drive to my Laptop it would automatically be mounted, and as a normal user I obviously had access to my files... Did you recently install sudo or do you recall? What;s mounted now, is there something about /proc/bus/usb ? if so what's the mode? Just to make sure what you said, root always mounts the usb device or do you have to try a few times? Do the doodads show up with fdisk -l and dmesg when you plug them in? I've been trying a little thing called udevadm, it is hard to use but if you get one of the devices mounted, it could possibly track down what's going on. You'll have to read the man page because I have to sit down for 5-10 minutes and read it myself every time I try it. |
Hello there, Last week I upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy. Everything seems to be in order, except now launching empathy will get my 4 separate GNOME keyring prompts in a row. I guess my keyring got copied for some reason, but I can’t figure out what package to install to deal with my keyrings, as gnome-keyring-manager is only in sid… Thank you for your time. | I also get this in Sid, when I log in, I am asked twice to unlock my login keyring.

So I'm going to start this off by telling you all I know how stupid I was and I can't believe I made such a noob mistake... long story short, my ENTIRE hard drive now has user AND group permissions root. I can't start X and are having various permissions issues. although ive been using linux for a long time, im no genius and need your guys help : ) long story long, I did a debian netinst to my netbooks SSD. got everything EXACTLY as I wanted it, was very happy with my first go at debian but of course being a linux dork im always willing to tweak. I installed onto btrfs which I recently learned supports compression which not only saved precious SSD space (only 8GBs) but according to some benchmarks also improved performance. this was a boot option and would only start compressing new files. this, of course, could not be good enough. so I formatted my SD card btrfs, mounted it with compress option + my SSD defaults and copied over all files that weren't a mount (i.e. proc, dev, sys,...) however I forgot to copy permissions. so every file was copied with root:root ownership and I didn't realize this when booting to the SD card to verify things were working as I assumed ( never do this ) that getting to a login terminal was enough. So now I need to fix all permissions and I would really prefer it be without a clean install. A netinst can take a dec amount of time and I had a lot of tweaking to do since I only used Xorg + i3 tiling wm. there has to be a way to fix this...I started trying to reinstall all the packages but kept running into issued where aptitude wasn't able to reinstall things like bash or perl-base, presumably bc they were in use or had incorrect permissions set : / | I don't get what's your problem here, as you said you copied the files - don't you have a master copy that has all the permissions still intact? |
I originally installed Debian and configured it the way I want it without any problems. It was working perfectly and I was happy. I then tried openSuse. I did not like it and re-installed Debian five hours later. Now I have a strange problem. This is the third re-install. With the first two, after installing a few founts the system says the founts are present, but they cannot be displayed. I only get empty rectangles. The founts are not available in office and there is no text at all on the internet. Only photographs and a few icons. This forum for example, only has lines separating the posts. I do not know why there is a problem, because I am configuring the system the same as the first time; install scim and add a few founts. The founts are not in packages, but I need them for some of the work I do in office. Since Debian uses this strange permissions system where the user is not considered the owner of his or her computer, I use gksu nautilus. I makes no difference if I leave the permissions of the fount folder as root or change it to me. I am completely at a loss. As I mentioned, I am doing the same thing I did the first time, so there should not be any problems. Does anyone have any ideas? | Any installation I have done included fonts, even the minimalist ones. Where did you get your install from? |
Hello everybody The problem i'm experiencing is driving me crazy.. I can't access youtube (and possibly other google servers) from my debian system.

HI, last week while I was using ssh to the computer1 inside a NAT as usual, I made another tunnel from the computer1 that I was connecting to, to another computer2 inside that NAT (ssh 192.168.1.130) and after making some changes in computer2 I typed reboot. The computer2 rebooted but the tunnel totally hung and I had to kill it in my laptop. Since that day I haven't been able to ssh to the computer1 as I am used to. Here is some more information: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/une/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug1: No more authentication methods to try.

Hey guys. I have a client computer PXE booting from my host computer and it is supposed to give the client the ip address 172.16.0.100 however instead it gives it the ip address 172.16.0.208. I have this set up working with two other computers and there is no noticeable difference other than mac addresses for the network card. Can anyone think of any reason this may be happening?

I've for the first time installed linux (debian) to my computer. And I have a problem with ethernet that I can't solve.

Hello. My Squeeze installation has the horrific 80x25 line display, and I cannot stand it. I know it can do better, because the grub screen is very tiny. I ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but the offerings there aren't much better. I don't know what happened to the good ol' days of grub when all you had to do was pass vga=791 to the kernel to get a decent console size... but it seems they are gone.

Hello everyone, I have searched google far and wide for two days now and went through pages of search results on these forums, yet if I'm raising a topic that exists, I do apologise. I have a fresh Debian install, since this install was on a desktop, I had an internet connection and didn't notice (it was late, I was half asleep) I opted to download a whole load of packages I didn't really need. I thought all was doomed until I remembered that I have done another Debian install but a week ago on a laptop, which has a nice clean install without all the bloat. So I ran Code: Select all dpkg --get-selections > selections and had it sent to my new desktop installation. Now if I run Code: Select all dpkg --set-setlections < selections followed by Code: Select all dselect-upgrade nothing happens. I assume this is because the smaller list contains all the packages 'to be installed' which already are, and all the missing packages are not being purged. Do I need to explicitely add all the pckages I want to purge to the 'selection' list or is there a better way of doing it? Thanks in advance. | Got it to work, basically dpkg --set-selections works as a command list of sorts. If you anyone wants more details contact me. |

Would like to know the best way (or the pros and cons of different ways) to set up Alsa. I did a search for information on how to setup alsa on my system. I found a lot of out-of-date information even on the alsa wiki. What I did finally locate was two different methods for setup, both seemed somewhat up-to-date. One method at the alsa wiki said to put part of the information in the modprobe directory in a conf file and set up certain aliases. Earlier suggestions for putting information in modprobe.conf or conf.modprobe appear to be outdated and a directory with separate files for each device and a conf extension to the files is currently used. The second method from a thread on the Debian forum said to use alsactl init, set sound levels the way you want and then use alsactl save and restore functionality. Older methods using alsaconf instead of alsactl init appear to be outdated as well. Not sure where to put the call to alsactl restore though. Didn't notice that in the documentation. In case it matters, I'm running Debian Stable and have a built-in sound card on the motherboard with AC97 compatibility. It's a Realtek ALC882. Is there a preferred or better method for setting up alsa? Is there a good pointer to instructions that are not out-of-date somewhere? Would be very interested to hear how others set sound up on their machines. What do others recommend as best steps to do this? Thank you. | lm8 wrote:Would be very interested to hear how others set sound up on their machines. What do others recommend as best steps to do this? Ok, here are the steps... 1. Download Debian Squeeze 2. Burn the CD 3. Install Debian 4. Reboot 5. ??? 6. Profit The thing is you don't need to do anything with alsa if you hear sound (well, except for playing with the volume levels). Especially if you have a built-in sound card... I would be interested in the setting up at least if I had a very expensive professional hi-end low-latency external sound processor planning to build up my own audio studio for live session recording.

So, tell us please what exactly do you want to know about configuring ALSA (putting aside numerous manuals over the internet and tons of user guides) Be more specific |
Oh, what a bummer. Installed Debian 6 last night after using Ubuntu for close to 3 years. Couldn't believe how wonderful everything was put together and working, with some minor beginning glitches (like nvidea 3D drivers not working) which were to be expected. But now I'm sitting back in Ubuntu because I can't get Debian started from Grub anymore. The Grub menu is still there and the selections work fine too. I honestly have no idea what caused this. Last thing I was doing in Debian took place in the Software Center where I was installing some GTK+ themes and looking for some general utilities. I did find a Boot Logo/Login changer, at least that's what I think it was, and when I clicked on install ... I received a message that that application was already installed (must have been by default or through synaptic perhaps). Anyway, as soon as that message cleared out, perhaps 2 or 3 seconds later the screen crashed and everything went black ... I'm assuming that the xerver crashed. Did a CTRL, ALT, DEL which successfully restarted the system. Got back to the grub menu, selected Debian, and got the black screen again with a login for a user, followed by the password request. Knowing next to nothing about Debian I was obviously stuck at that point. Then I tried the recovery console, and exactly the same thing happened. Rebooted again, got back into the recovery console, and this time, after adding my user name and password, used CTRL + D which caused a ton of text to appear on the black screen. Near the end of it came a FAILURE message ... Startpar: service(s) returned failure: gdomap failed: Looked in this forum for gdomap and couldn't find anything helpful, nor do I know for that matter if that is truly the reason why Debian stopped working or Xserver crashed. Any ideas that might help? I'd have to write your responses down so I can try them out in the Debian recovery console. Thanks a bunch in advance. (EDIT: Follow this thread to the end for the solution that involved no file altering or re-installation of Debian) . | Still no change, but at least I'm sure now that xserver has nothing to do with this. I went ahead and tried: (in order to remove the existing, followed by replacing it with a default xorg.conf file during reboot) Code: Select allrm /etc/x11/xorg.conf followed by a reboot, but everything remained exactly the same as before. Also tried to use: Code: Select allinstall dkms while in the recovery console, but that gave me errors about a missing operand. Since I don't know anything about dkms (was following info. from another thread) I had to stop at that point. If that had worked there would have been a second command for installing the nvidia drivers directly, but it wasn't to be. On the other hand, looking at the beginning of the error in this post - while not knowing if that's actually at the heart of the problem - perhaps there's some problem with access to the partition that holds the Debian Operating System? Startpar ... could that have to do with starting that particular partition? If so, then I don't see how any of that would have changed on its own since I never did anything to any of the partitions once Debian was installed. I was in the process of retrieving valid packages from the software center .... before that everything was fine ... Email, Browsing, Gimp, and so on. Since nobody seems to be able to help me I'll boot into the start CD next, let's see what happens there? (EDIT: If I understood some of what I read correctly, Debian 6.0 doesn't even use xorg.conf anymore) . |
hi ]Just for some testing on a test non-productive machine, howto allow Gnome login by root user on squeeze? | The problem is that you are doing it wrong. You simply need to use the tools correctly, to allow root to access the X session of the regular user. As recommended in the other thread, simply use gksudo or see 'man xhost' for a more customised approach (not just xhost +) |
I'm using alsa after ditching pulseaudio from my KDE installation. Alsa has always been reliable. However, I suffer from the inability to have two audio streams play at the same time. If I'm watching a movie, and the system gives a notification beep (like download complete or something), sound stops from smplayer or whatever else is playing audio and I have to close the player and reopen it again. This is ridiculous, to say the least. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Happens in any WM/DE. Rig in sig. | It is a known issue I have posted on the bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556578 No answer so far. The issue only seems to be with phonon no matter what backend I use. I have alleviated by the problem a little by disabling kde system sounds and etc. I am not sure if using pulse would help or not as I try not to use PA when possible. |
Greets, I just did a fresh install of squeeze and I am having a hard time getting x11vnc working on the system... Normally I would use the following command once I am logged in via GDM, and place this into the gnome startup. Code: Select allx11vnc -auth ~/.Xauthority -display :0 -rfbport 9600 -usepw -localhost -shared -forever But this doesn't work anymore since gdm3 is installed. The problem is that .Xauthority doesn't exist and using -auth guess doesn't work. What does work is if I use this instead... Code: Select allx11vnc -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-******-******/database -display :0 -rfbport 9600 -usepw -localhost -shared -forever There is a problem with that though, the actual filename changes after logging out or rebooting. How can I fix this? | What do you mean by "place this into the gnome startup"? Doesn't that startup environment already have XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY set correctly? |
System: Code: Select alluname -a Linux wolfgang-laptop 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux OS: Debian Squeeze I'm currently using the Dvorak Simplified keyboard layout in KDE4. Although the keyboard seems to be generating correct input (e.g. this post) under this layout, keyboard shortcuts are still responding to QWERTY mappings. For example, my Konsole hotkey, Ctrl+Alt+T, does not have any effect; Ctrl+Alt+Y (i.e. "T" in QWERTY), however, launches Konsole as expected. This same bug affects the crucial copy & paste shortcuts in all "K" programs, although for some reason they work normally in Firefox. This seems to be a duplicate of the issue mentioned in this thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53124 Running `dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' does not fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Update: Setting the default layout in xorg.conf to Dvorak (described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo ... t-Plugging) causes the proper Dvorak shortcuts to work system-wide. It's rather odd, since this is apparently necessary on top of setting the layout in KDE. Anyway, cheers. | I just wanted to comment that I am using both the programmer DVORAK and spanish QWERTY layouts using the command setxkbmap xx -variant xx and, although it is working perfectly, the keyboard shortcuts under Fluxbox are also responding to the QWERTY layout even when I am using the other one. I can confirm that Firefox (Iceweasel) does respond to the DVORAK keyboard shortcuts. Using Debian Sid, with Fluxbox and no DE. |
My new laptop works out of the box except for the video and the ethernet. For this, I have to use a later kernel than the Debian kernel (debian squeeze is currently 2.6.32). Upgrading to the new kernel (without moving to the testing dist itself) was pretty easy. I just installed linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64 and linux-base from the testing distribution by manually downloading and using dpkg. After that, ethernet and video started working. However, my virtualbox installation no longer works because the drivers do not match the kernel. I am used to this; whenever debian upgrades the kernel on me, I have to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup". This rebuilds the drivers. This failed for me, however, because it could not find the headers. So, I installed some more packages: linux-kbuild-2.6.38 linux-headers-2.6.38-2-common linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64 Now, when I rebuild it, I get this: Code: Select all# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules:.

Hi guys, It's been 2 days trying to get my wireless running and no result and no one managed to help me. The setup: 1 linksys router: gets the net from PPPOE and give the network DHCP.

I recently purchased a HVM VPS. I had issues installing debian using the debian 6 netinstaller. The 2.6.32 kernel just would not see the nic. I figured it was a weird installer error because the debian 5 netinstaller cd worked fine. So now my VPS is running debian 5 with the 2.6.26 kernel and I perform a dist-upgrade to debian 6 and the 2.6.32 kernel. Upon reboot the nic is gone. doesn't even appear in lspci. but if I reboot and select the old 2.6.26 kernel the nic appears and all is well. I've googled around but I'm not really sure what i'm looking for. lspci using the 2.6.26 kernel shows the nic as a realtek using the 8139cp driver. lspci using the 2.6.32 kernel has all the same devices except the NIC. which isn't there at all. I knew it would don't anything and it didn't but i manually modprobed 8139cp. Does anyone have any pointers on where I need to be looking? Most of the stuff I find involves setting up your own xen server using debian 6. What little I do find is for lenny and didn't help with squeeze. | Done some more poking around. Seems this is a problem with debian squeeze when it is a xen DomU. Or at least with the 2.6.32 kernel debian squeeze uses. I'm finding more and more people with my problem as I use more proper search terms. The no-solution dead-end remain consistent however. The only thing that works for me and others is to use lenny's kernel. Surely someone has some idea of what's going on here. Seeing as the lenny's kernel works and squeeze's kernel does not. Is there a config option I need to change? Do I need to compile a custom kernel? Or not even worry about it and just keep using lenny's kernel? |
Hi I'm having issues with my hibernation. It works well, but the wake-up speed is to slow. I use the default hibernate package from squeeze/stable. An example Hibernation: saves 126867 pages with a speed of 38,24 Mb/s Wake up: restores 126867 pages with a speed of 18,58 Mb/s Note that the read speed is half of the write speed. I have tested the filesystem, and get (uncached) read speeds of somehing like 50 Mb/s, so it is a hibernation issue. Do you have any suggestions where I should start looking? | Is their an option to compress the data as you save it to the hibernation file? It does not slow down the write, since you are writing less, and speeds up the resume, since decompression is very fast and the bottleneck is reading data from the file. Reading Code: Select allman hibernate.conf Wow, there's a lot of options. Maybe FullSpeedCPU should be set to true, and there's some compression options in there...plus TuxonIce support for the Liquorix kernel. I'd would like mine to be more verbose, too, right now it just sits blankly for a while, though I rarely hibernate, suspend to RAM is what I mostly use. |

I have an apache installation with /var/www/bob as the document root and the only site served up. I have bob as the directory's owner, and he is able to upload his files to that folder via ftp (vsftpd on the server). When a browser tries to access the pages, it simply gets a 403 forbidden. The problem occurs when apache2 tries to access the files bob uploads. The www-data user (Apache daemon) gets permission denied when I try to cat bob's files in the shell, so it's purely a permissions issue.

Hello all, I've just installed Debian Squeeze from a live CD. When I open a web browser (be it iceweasel or epiphany) and try to go to google.com, it tells me it can't resolve the host name. [Edit: They do, however, allow me to go anywhere on debian.org, minus the search feature] I also get the same error when I try to go to my website running on a local server. However, when I type the server's IP address (192.168.0.10), it goes to the website fine. Basically, any program I run that needs to resolve a host name returns an error, with the exception of the host command: $ host google.com google.com has address ... ... I've tried changing my DNS server IP from 192.168.0.1 (my router, configured to provide DNS) to 192.168.1.254 (my internet modem, also configured to provide DNS). That didn't help any. Then I changed my DNS server IP to the same one used by the modem, and now everything works. I've tried googling my way out of the issue, and I've found where someone had the same issue as I've got and fixed it by adding "blacklist ipv6" to their /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file, but that didn't work for me. So, recap: Why does resolving domain names fail for certain applications (except the "host" program) when the DNS server IP is that of my router or modem (which works fine for all of my other computers), but suddenly works when I point the computer straight to my ISP's DNS servers, and how can I permanently fix the problem? Thanks all, robofreak | Disable ipv6 in Iceweasel. |

Up until very recently I've had a wired network, and at boot I'd see messages about DHCPREQUEST and DHCPOFFER and stuff as it set up the wired network. Great. Now I've just got wireless working instead, but it still tries to use DHCP on the no-longer-existing wired network. So it says "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0..." and waits for a bit, then again and waits again, and all the time the boot is waiting for a reply to its DHCP requests and it's not going to get one. It doesn't seem to do any harm, because once it's given up and proceeded with the boot then the wireless does seem to work fine, but I'd like to speed up the boot a little by cutting out this needless waiting. Has anyone got an idea how I can stop it? I tried in Preferences-Network connections and in Administration-Network, and in System Tools-Network tools, and also from the network icon in the task bar, but I can't find anything which lets me configure the wired network eth0 or disable it or disable the DHCP. | So when you installed wireless did you also install networkmanager to manage the wireless? Have a peek in /etc/network/interfaces if you use networkmanager to manage the network connections is should contain Code: Select allauto lo iface lo inet loopback else use this file to configure your interfaces. see Code: Select allman interfaces |
I am looking into migrating my laptop from Arch to Debian Squeeze. I like lighter Desktop Environments like LXDE or XFCE4 and would like to avoid having to edit wpa_supplicant.conf when I move from one network to another. When traveling it would also be nice to quickly associate with open networks at airports/coffeesshops/hotels etc. I have squeeze on a deprecated ECS A900 (notebook without a battery and a Via C3 CPU) and noted that I could not use wicd to associate with my home WPA2 AP without wpa_supplicant configured with my ssid/psk. My question is when I visit my parents and want to associate with their WPA2 AP, will I need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf to their ssid/psk? It looks like I do not to edit anything to associate with open or WEP encrypted AP. Arch does have a "menu" option where preconfigured networks (home, parents, open, etc) can be selected during boot but has not been all that stable as of late. | Which wicd client are you using? I've used both the gtk & ncurses clients to add multiple WPA2 networks and all work as expected, i.e automatically connect when each available. I've never had to edit wpa_supplicant.conf manually. |
Hi all. First post. About Me: - Mandriva refugee, looking for an OS that doesn't self-destruct 2-3 times a year. - High Priest of RTFM. From what I've seen in this forum, looks like I'm not alone. My issue: I've installed Squeeze on my main desktop, and am pleased to report that only one issue has emerged that's driving me crazy. I've searched for a solution, but the (hopefully) unusual nature of the problem makes searching difficult. I've got a package that claims it's "broken," based on an unresolved dependency. The thing is, though, that the package is not broken. It's working just fine. My question: how do I get this erroneous error message to go away. When I searched, I found lots of threads that explain how to remove a genuinely broken package. But I don't want to remove my not-actually-broken package. I just want to eliminate the innacurate error message. If there's a Wiki page, or some such that covers this, just point me to it. Like I said, I believe in RTFM. I just couldn't find TFM to R. | Try, as root: Code: Select all# apt-get -f install This should get any dependencies needed. |
This topic is about setting up dual boot with Debian and Windows using two hard disks after Debian was installed. Historical order of events: 1) bought new pc with two identical hard disks, plugged both in 2) installed squeeze on one hd (sda1 boot, sda2, sda5-sda8) 3) formated another hd (sdb1 no system, sdb2, sdb5 ext4) 4) tried to install windows 7 => first problem: windows does not recognize sdb1 and does not want to format it 5) formated another hd for windows as ntfs (sdb1 boot, sdb2, sdb5) i made all of them ntfs just to be sure 6) tried to install windows 7 => same problem: windows does not recognize partitions as suitable 7) second problem: pc does not boot any more. why? probably because sdb1 has now boot flag, but no system, and for some reason bios does not look in sda1. I looked into bios and sata slots: first hd is sitting on slot 5, second hd is sitting on slot 3. Is that why bios tries to start from second hd? ok, plugged second hd to slot 6, tried to boot => nope, grub does not not start. setting the boot order in bios is impossible, since both hds were bought at once: same vendor, same id => bios cannot distinguish them 8( plugged off second hd (first is still sitting on slot 5), booted => all perfect, system works (besides that the sdb5 could not be mounted...), but I want to use my second hd too! 9) plugged in second hd again and booted from debian installation cd (used it for net inst) in rescue mode and tried to install grub on sda1 => fatal error, grub could not be installed 10) plugged off second hd and plugged it in to another pc, removed all partitions and created them again with windows tool. so I had again second hd as ntfs (sdb1, sdb2, sdb5) 11) plugged off second hd and plugged it into my new pc, plugged off first hd. 12) installed windows 7 (oh wonder - it worked) 13) plugged in first hd, booted => windows boots. not what I want, but at least windows issue is done, now just repair the linux partition and you are happy! 14) google, search, read.... oh, there is a super grub2 thing! ok, burned cd, booted from it, selected the entry "detect grub2 installation" => nothing found, oh my god! did I kill the linux partition completely? 15) selected entry "detect grub2 configuration" => found one grub2 configuration. hm, hope? 16) boot from it! => black screen, not even the grub menu appeared, nothing happens .... oh man.... 17) sitting there, looking at ceiling.... plugged off both hds, plugged first hd in slot 2, plugged second hd in slot 6. what bad could happen? booted => grub2 starts, squeeze boots. why? just why were you teasing me? 18) update-grub => linux found, windows found, seems to be ok 19) fdisk -l => linux: sda1, sda2, sda5-sda8, windows: sdb1, sdb2, sdb5 20) vi /etc/fstab, dev/sdb5 /backuphd ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 21) boot 22) booting, but could not mount sdb5. heh? I am used to mess up, so not wondering 23) fdisk -l => windows: sda1, sda2, sda5, linux: sdb1, sdb2, sdb5-sdb8. heh? you having fun teasing me? 24) vi /etc/fstab, dev/sda5 /backuphd ntfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 25) boot, booted fine, everything works. Hurra! 26) booted several times windows and linux just to be sure. 27) reporting my efforts on forums.debian.net 28) going to sleep 29) will I have bad dreams about my pc not booting because bios decides to switch the order of hds again? you may call me crazy and incompetent, but this boot behavior is silly, I do not know who is responsible for all the troubles (so it must be me, if I do not know whom to blame), but this is definitely too much, way to much why do I type all of this? may be it will help someone to fix his system or to install it in a right way from the very beginning.... may be it will help me to believe my system finally works (this is already third weekend I am opposing the dual boot issue). Thanks to everyone who posted on this forum (and other forums too) about setting up dual boot, thanks to everyone who created tutorials and online documentations about grub2. I did read so much of it, so that I forgot already the most of it, but it helped! | An interesting story. Thanks for telling it. And I'm glad it ended well. It was a lot to absorb, and I think I followed it all correctly. Here are some thoughts that I had along the way... Sergio wrote:4) tried to install windows 7 => first problem: windows does not recognize sdb1 and does not want to format it When you attempt to install any Windows system on a non-first drive, it still requires a compatible primary partition on the first hard drive for its boot loader files, and it must be the active partition or the Windows installer will mark it active. And if one doesn't exist, the Windows installer wants to create it. If one can't be found or created on the first hard drive, the Windows installer will stop. It's just the way Windows systems boot. Always have. MS bootstrapping code in the master boot record of the first drive examines the partition table to determine the active partition (aka boot in fdisk) and then loads and executes that partition's boot sector code. The Windows boot loader files are in that partition and are executed by the boot sector code. So maybe the real problem was no possible way for the Windows installer to use or create such a partition for its boot loader files. Sergio wrote:7) second problem: pc does not boot any more. why? probably because sdb1 has now boot flag, but no system, and for some reason bios does not look in sda1. Well, every hard drive can have a active partition. And next, GRUB doesn't use or care about the active state (or not) of the Linux system's partitions. Otherwise, I have no idea why Debian stopped booting unless it was related to a change in the boot order in BIOS as you said. Sergio wrote:9) plugged in second hd again and booted from debian installation cd (used it for net inst) in rescue mode and tried to install grub on sda1 => fatal error, grub could not be installed One thing new about GRUB 2 is that grub-install stops when you attempt to install the GRUB boot loader in a partition boot sector. Then it prints a message about why that isn't good idea. But there is actually nothing so bad about it, and GRUB 2 will proceed to install the boot loader in a partition boot sector if you use the --force option as the message says. Sergio wrote:...plugged off both hds, plugged first hd in slot 2, plugged second hd in slot 6. what bad could happen? booted => grub2 starts, squeeze boots. why? That sounds normal to me. The first drive with Squeeze and with GRUB in the MBR booted directly from BIOS. Sergio wrote:18) update-grub => linux found, windows found, seems to be ok That again sounds normal to me. Generally, I think things will proceed more predictably if Windows is installed first on the first hard drive and if that arrangement is not disturbed in any way by the installation of subsequent systems. |
Setup a new machine with Apache, identical setup to all the other machines I got, yet this one is logging hostnames instead of IPs. "HostnameLookups" are "Off" and LogFormat settings are identical to all the other machines: Code: Select allLogFormat "%v:%p %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" vhost_combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent Added a new LogFormat directive: Code: Select allLogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined_custom And told the virtual hosts to use it: Code: Select allCustomLog /path/to/log combined_custom This solved the problem, though I'm at a loss as to why I've got this behavior on just this one box and none of the others. OS is Debian Lenny, same version of Apache installed via Debian package. Any ideas what else might explain the difference in behavior? My understanding from Apache doc (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html#accesslog) is that when "HostnameLookups" are "Off, "%h" will yield IP instead of hostname.. -------------------------------- Code: Select all# apache2ctl status ...

This seems to be a non issue, because Apache was resolving the IP of just the host whose hostname was listed in the config. Not for everyone.

If you want, skip straight to the 'QUESTION' at the end of my post & refer to the 'EXPLANATION' later. EXPLANATION: Using Debian 6.01 Squeeze 64-bit. Just put together a brand new 3.3Ghz 6-core AMD. I had a nightmare with my Highpoint 640 raid controller, apparently because Debian Squeeze now handles raid through sysfs rather than /proc/scsi. The solution to this, of course, is to recompile the kernel with the appropriate module for /proc/scsi support. So I thought "screw that" and I've yanked out the raid card & went with Debians software raid. This allowed me to basically complete my mission. The raid is totally up and running, except for one final step... I can't get the raid to automount at boot. My hardware setup; - Debian is running totally on a 64Gb SSD. (sda) - I have 3x 2Tb hard drives used for storage on a raid 1 array (sdc,sdd,sde) This is how I set up; - All drives were formatted ext4 with a GPT allocation table Step 1) Installed Debian with manual partition layout, designating sdc1,sdd1,sde1 for use as 'Physical Volume for Raid' Step 2) After initial install, performed update & reboot. Step 3) Installed mdadm via Synaptic which then started building the array from sdc1,sdd1,sde1 Step 4) Went to sleep for the night while the array built. Step 5) Formatted md0 with gparted (GPT,ext4,Volume Label=Home) Step 6) Rebooted just in case After all that, the raid seems to work perfectly. I created a mount point for it with; Code: Select allsudo mkdir -p /media/HomeRaid I can mount it with; Code: Select allmount -t ext4 /dev/md0p1 /media/HomeRaid After unmounting I have to start the Array again by opening nautilus, going to 'Computer', right-click on the raid & click 'Start Multi-disk Drive' before I can mount again. I can also mount just by selecting it from the Places menu rather than using the command line. QUESTION: Ok. So after all that explanation, ultimately I have 2 problems. Firstly, I seem to need root permissions to mount md0p1. (mounting via Places menu asks for password) Secondly, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to mount automatically at boot. My fstab file; Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

It just doesn't want to work | I don't remember for sure and I haven't double checked, for sure I don't remember details off the top of my head, but I think you need to add the necessary modules to initramfs, which involves adding them to the correct conf file and then rebuilding initramfs. Easy enough to actually do, if you can get the details right. |
Hi , i have successfully set up squid3 with squeeze using guide on this forum http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=59301 . The only problem that i have is the size of /var/log/access.log is too big and keep increasing so i run out of free space. The size of it always the same size as my free space hard disk (so it make me run out of free space in just one day, it can have size to 30 Gb ) right now , the only workaround i make is using crontab to rm access.log every hour . I'm sure this is not the right solution . Does anybody know the correct workaround about this ? I have searching in google but seems havent yet have luck with this . Tq | Large logfiles can occur with squid. Usually, logrotate is used to periodically clean up your logfiles. However, since your logfile is extremely large after one hour, you better take a look at the logfile: - are there many errors? Of so, fix them first - maybe your loging to much More on squid logging: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidLogs Maybe just make sure you log less. Completely switching of logging is possible, but first fix any problems.

I have just got a new machine - hp Z400 with Nvidia Quadro NVS 295. I can install Debian 6 apparently with no problems, but when it reboots, it shows a few messages and then the screen shuts down, it seems. I have tried to edit the grub-settings, removing the "quiet" option from the kernel entry and adding a "vga=normal", but all it does is to list a large number of messages very quickly, then kill the video output. I feel sure it must be because the kernel tries to switch video mode, hence the attempt to disable framebuffer; but it seems I'm doing the wrong thing. The installation kernel boots up with no problems, and I can install in graphical mode as well. So why this? | grub2 uses gfxpayload instead of vga= check for this, including section before any menu entries in grub.cfg most reliable method would be Code: Select allgrep gfxpayload grub.cfg |
Hey guys, I noticed that KDE does not have a way to browse for network printers like Gnome does. I installed system-config-printer to fix this(if there is a KDE route that would be nice as well). Anyway, I go to add a printer and select "Network Printer" and click "Windows Printer via SAMBA". This is where i would typically press "Browse..." but it is unclickable. This leads me to believe that I am missing a package. Essentially my question is: What are the necessary packages to access Windows printers via SAMBA with system-config-printer? | does you user has the permission for that? probably thats why the browse button is unclickable, you can run Code: Select allkdesudo systemsettingsthat way you can have privileges but the user has to be on the sudoers list, and you can always run the printer manager with cups on any browser http://localhost:631 |
I installed Debian 6 last night on an older Compaq. For the system to properly reboot and shutdown when requested, both acpi=force and reboot=warm must be in the boot parameters, this was required with other Linux distros installed on this hardware. Otherwise, the system erroneously shuts down when reboot is chosen. I would like to know how to permanently add these so they pass each time the system is turned on. I already added these to /etc/default/grub (and ran update-grub afterwards) and at the next startup, noticed they were NOT in the parameters when "e" was pressed at the boot menu. Thank you. | Hmm /etc/default/grub should work. Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force reboot=warm " What does this tell you? Code: Select allgrep LINUX_DEFAULT /boot/grub/grub.cfg I used sed to edit /etc/default/grub Code: Select all# sed -i 's|GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"|GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force reboot=warm"|' /etc/default/grub Then I checked my work: Code: Select all# grep LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force reboot=warm" Then Code: Select allupdate-grub Is it there? Code: Select allgrep acpi /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=force reboot=warm " Still not working? Post your file if you please. |
This is related to the mail notification after a login in text mode. You know, when it writes "you have mail," or "you have new mail." Just in case, do you know to make the Login(1) program look in maildirs for the new mail notification instead of /var/mail/user? If it can't be done, then I'd like to disable the new mail notification in Login completely. Thanks by advance. | I found the answer to this question (after more than 26 months!). It can be done. For the record, you have to edit /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd and the way to do it is explained in man 8 pam_mail. |
New install of Mint LMDE (Debian Testing) I installed Blueman & paired my headset successfully but I get this error message when I connect my headset, "Failed to initialize pulseaudio bluetooth module. Bluetooth audio over pulseaudio will not work". When I go to Pulse Audio Volume Control, it's not showing in my hardware list. | Just needed to install this package: pulseaudio-module-bluetooth |
I installed Debian sid recently. I installed the B43 driver and wireless is working just fine at home and elsewhere. I can't connect to the wireless networks at school though. There are two networks, one is unsecured (and you have to enter your login details after connecting - I can't connect at all though), the other is secured. I was previously using Ubuntu, with network manager, and I have all my settings the same for the secured network as I did in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I can connect to both networks just fine. In Debian I can't. I don't know why this doesn't work, and I don't know where to look. | Can you see the networks at all and just can't connect, or you can't even see them? Are you using Network Manager, wicd, or something else? The fact that it works everyplace else definitely indicates that it's a configuration issue specifically for those networks. As a pure guess since I really have nothing to go on you may have to specify the ESSID for the networks in question. If this is the case the networks probably won't be listed. In any case this page may be of help, although probably very limited since it does work correctly for most cases. http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse |
