I upgraded my system to lenny, but I am still running a 2.4 kernel. This is creating problems with the libc6 package. I have tried upgrading my kernel, but it wants a newer version of libc6. When I try to upgrade the libc6 it gives me trouble about the kernel version. I can't find a way to fix this. Does anyone have some ideas? From what I can find I think I need to downgrade to etch to get this fixed, but I don't know how to successfully downgrade to etch. How can I downgrade to etch? | post the output of: Code: Select allaptitude full-upgrade -DV -s (You can run that as a normal user) |
Hi guys! I need help in configuring a fresh install of Squeeze.

I have a fairly new laptop, 2*1.8 Ghz, but when I try to run games more advanced than pac-man, it's about 1-0.5 frames / second. This doesn't seem right.

Hi all, i am looking for some help, since i am in a really hard situation from where i couldn't get out after many hours of reading documents/posts/forums etc. The issue: In Kde 4.4.5, using xorg and radeon opensource driver, i can't set OpenGL for desktop effects. Clicking "Apply" it fails. OpenGL seems corrupted someway. I have to stay on XRender. This is the glxinfo output: Code: Select allglxinfo | grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.7.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 OpenGL extensions: The story: i was running previously kde with nvidia propertary driver and a nvidia board. Then i removed the board for a fault and put a sapphire radeon HD5450. Initially i set up propertary radeon fglrx. At the end, i decided to use the opensource drivers, removed in the best way all fglrx files and links. So i then followed the wiki for reinstall open source radeon drivers, did it many times, also reinstalling xorg with purge, same for libgl1-mesa-xxx etc, but i still cannot use the OpenGL hardware support (should be DRI, that is correctly installed but not loaded). Seems to be really an opengl corruption, if i disable the check on apply, and select OpenGL rendering, i get a complete blank screen.

Hi, I installed Debian Squeeze (choosing no when prompted to add support for non-free or contrib sources) and noticed that the fan of my Nvidia 9600 GT video card is constantly running at full speed. I thought this meant that the default driver is not properly working. I would like to configure my system so that the video card fan is not being pushed so hard. I downloaded the latest Nvidia (propietary) driver, stopped gdm3, and ran the driver installer. The installer failed because it said the Nouveau kernel driver was currently in use and incompatible with the Nvidia driver. I chose not to allow the installer to update my modprobe configuration directory.

Hi! I am running testing (with fluxbox) and my keyboard periodically freezes, meaning whatever I type in it doesn't respond. This lasts a few seconds (can be 2-3 or sometimes even more like 10) and one's it comes back I get all the keystrokes I was typing during the freeze. The frequency of the freezes can be like 4-5 times every hour and are very annoying. I can't seem to relate them to anything, they can occur during heavy usage but also when the box is doing absolutely nothing but waiting lazily for me to type some google search terms. Can anybody help me track this problem down? At the moment I am using a wireless keyboard but this must be unrelated since I tested a couple of other keyboards (both wireless and wired) and the problem persists.

Probably something was wrong with my previous system which at some point I upgraded from lenny to squeeze. Maybe the transition to the new xorg? Who knows! I got suspicious when, in order to test what was going wrong, I installed in a small separate partition sid. I configured it very similar to the testing system and used it for a few days and the keyboard was working perfect. The sid system of course didn't had any xorg.conf file. So a played around with changing values in xorg.conf, removing it completely, uninstalling and reinstalling xorg but nothing worked. Obviously I was missing something important. So I got bored and as I didn't wanted to spent more time on this I used the next 2 hours to wipe out my hard disk and install testing from scratch. Two days now and the keyboard is working the way it should. Thank god nowadays one can set a debian system exactly the way he had it before in such a sort time! |
In order to solve a problem with the hibernate feature, I've been suggested to downgrade my squeeze installation to kernel 2.6.32-29 (I think I have -30 now). Questions: - what is the proper way to downgrade to that version of the kernel (I got my current kernel version when I installed squeeze few days ago and the official repo does not seem to have the -29 version anymore)? - how to prevent that future automatic updates "upgrade" me again to the non-working version? Thanks | The thing is that Lenny Backports and Squeeze have the same version of the kernel (2.6.32-30) and Lenny uses the 2.6.26 one, thus, its is not possible to install the version 2.6.32-29 using the official repositories. Have you tried the kernel in Sid or the Liquorix (1) one? To prevent a kernel upgrade, one can put the package on hold (2) or, in some cases, remove the meta-package that pulls the new version (it wouldn't work in this case because the kernel didn't change its major version but was simply updated). New major kernel versions don't remove previous ones, for example, kernels 2.6.A and 2.6.B wouldn't be removed if version 2.6.C were installed; although version 2.6.E-1 would be indeed replaced by 2.6.E-2 unless the former was put on hold. 1. http://www.liquorix.net/ 2. http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/pro ... pkgCmdHold |

Hello, I have a new install of Debian Squeeze from debian-6.0.0-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso but I'm experiencing problems with the wireless internet applet in the taskbar. When the computer boots, it doesn't connect automatically eventhough I have it set as such. I have to fiddle with it until I get the request from KDE Wallet Manager to insert the password to complete the connection. I didn't have this behavior in Kubuntu. Is there any configuration file I can check? If I start the internet from the /etc/network/interfaces with: # wireless-mode managed # wireless-essid myessid # wireless-key1 mywepkey Then everything works fine and I have internet immediately upon reboot. But only when I use the network manager do I have problems. | Ok, let me answer my own question. Changing "managed" from false to true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf fixed the problem. |

Hello dear friends. I have a little problem here, but hope I can find some help from you! I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot. I get this message: Code: Select allBooting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686' root (hd0,6) Error 22 no such partition Press any key to continue I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try to help my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer. Thank you very much in advance.

I got a brandnew Acer Travelmate Timeline X (13"). I do not really know if this is the right topic for my problem. But here it comes: The Acer uses a special smart battery with special chips in it controling the powermanagement of the battery and the system. In general there is a kernel module to handle this (sbs). But for me this does not work. I am using Squeeze and it does not recognize the battery. It always acts like being on AC power. If I unplugg the AC it runs with the battery till it is empty. But the ACPI can not recognize the battery and can not read how much lifetime it has. I tried the reassambling method. But this method does not work for me. Nevertheless I think the reassambling method does not run because there is no more developing on it because of the kernel modul. What can I do? Will I have to wait till a new workaround of sbs comes out, which can handle my battery? I read about a BIOS hack that disables the smart battery functions. Should I try this? But I am not really firm in that kind of stuff and I will loose the guarantee. Has anyone got an idea? wkr iorek | Hey does no one got an idea? Do you need further information? In the normal acpi directories is nothing about batteries, so to post that would not give more information. Also no other program does recognize the battery it is as if there is no battery! It is very nerving, that the battery is not recognized. Normal work at home is no problem. But it is very bad when you're outside. You do not know how much battery life you got or how long you can stay online till you need to reload! If anyone got a clou please write me! wkr Iorek |
I have a windows 7 box and a debian 5.0 box connected to a linksys wrt300n router. I can access the linux box from windows 7 through ssh. I used to be able to access the linux box from outside the LAN, but when I was messing with the ssh port configuration (at least I think this was what happened), i lost my ability to connect. I tried writing a new sshd_config file so that it is much simpler: Code: Select allProtocol 2 PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM yes I tried directly connecting the linux box to the internet to rule out a router firewall issue that i was missing. iptables -L yields nothing, as I have since rebooted the machine since messing with iptables rules.

Hello everybody, I use Debian Squeeze and I have some questions about pinning. I would appreciate very much if you guys could give me a little help. Q1. I noticed that Squeeze has the directories /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and /etc/apt/preferences.d/. Should I still use the tradicional config files /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences or should I add some config file in these two directories? I know that the traditional way would work, but what would be the more appropriated from now on? Q2. In this line of apt.conf: Code: Select allAPT::Default-Release "testing"; Instead of specifing "testing", could I specify "squeeze"? It's because Squeeze is about to become stable and I don't want to migrate to the next testing so soon. So, if it would work to put "squeeze", I would prefer like that. Q3. In the preferences config file, if I specify a general "Package: *" parameter, would it still work if next I specify a parameter for a particular package, like "Package: emesene"? I don't know if I'm clear, sorry for my English... for example: Code: Select all Package: * Pin: release a=squeeze Pin-Priority: 600 Package: * Pin: release a=sid Pin-Priority: 500 Package: emesene Pin: release a=sid Pin-Priority: 650 Will the emesene configuration work (always upgrade emesene using sid version, p=650) or the fact that I specified a "Package: *" for sid (p=500) will overight the configuration for emesene? Q4. If I config all that, will I be able to use aptitude to install and upgrade the system the way I configured to in apt.conf and preferences or will I have to use only apt-get from now on? Q5. I'm searching google, but I guess a lot of what I found is for lenny/etch. Where could I find further reliable and up to date information about pinning? | 1) Whichever you're more comfortable with. There was a bug in relation to preferences.d where aptitude (I think) wasn't picking up the preferences from the sub-directory. Or maybe it was one of the other programs. In any case that bug has been fixed, so at this point it's really a matter of preference. I still have one large preferences file, but my conf stuff is split up. Some is in the main file and some is in the sub-directory. sources.list I just have the main repos in the primary file and all 3rd party stuff is in sources.d/ 2) Yes you can specify "squeeze", or "6.0*" if you want. Note that If you use a preferences file with pinning I recommend you not use a default-release but just set the pinning how you want it. Otherwise you may get confusing results since the default-release takes precedence over any pins you may specify (other than specific packages). For example: I run a primarily testing system so would normally have a default-release of testing. However I want my multimedia packages (from debian-multimedia) to default to unstable rather than testing. If I set a default-release this won't work In any case you can always verify what the system interprets everything as by running Code: Select allapt-cache policy or, to check a specific package, Code: Select allapt-cache policy <package-name> 3) Yes, it will work. Specific package pins override any general settings. Again you can verify using the apt-cache command (see above). 4) aptitude will work just fine It's what I use, and if pinning didn't work I'd be in a world of trouble. 5) see Code: Select allman apt_preferences |
Goal: share network over wireless interface. Ethernet -> eth0 -> dnsmasq-> wlan0 -> wireless clients All hardware is confirmed as working. Network-manager handles the wired network (at work) and my private wireless network (at home) just fine. At work we have a wired network serving ip's in the 10.x.x.x range. The how-to I followed is quite simple and all seems to go as planned. The failure point seems to be when network-manager never obtains an IP address for the wireless interface. My wireless clients can see a wireless network available but never obtain an IP because the wlan0 interface itself has no ip. Before I start posting log & config files, I was wondering if anyone has ever been successful with this type of network sharing under Debian?

Hello, I have read much material on the backports service and have a few questions not covered in the text I have read: 1. How long after a stable realease until stuff appears in the backports service - kernels in particular? 2. Are Xorg drivers and mesa included in backports? 3. Are the packages in backports buggy or comparable to the ones that come with the stable release? 4. How does one know what packages have a backport available? Is there a list?

It is definately most stable, but it shows terrible scrolling speed. Next I compiled uvesafb, installed v86d and included both into initramfs. I had to compile my own kernel because otherwise efifb would be loaded first and other fb drivers would be ignored. It works pretty good, but with one annoyance: it ignores grub2 gfxpayload resolution and any options I try to pass via video= kernel param. Here is what I do: Code: Select all# grub.cfg set gfxpayload='1920x1200x32' linux /path/to/vmlinuz initrd /path/to/initrd As far as I know grub should then enable framebuffer and set resolution to 1920x1200, fbcon then should load fb driver (uvesafb in this case) with the same resolution.

Hi, I have just joined the Debian community, for the past 2 years I have been using Linux Mint (ubuntu), I am now using Linux Mint Debian 64.

Hi, I'm running a minimal install of Debian Lenny. I don't use GNOME (I primarily use IceWM), but I decided to give GDM a try because I've had trouble finding the Perfect Login Manager for me. (I use SLiM, but despite its small footprint it's slow to come up, especially after logging out.) After installing GDM and deciding it really wasn't for me, I uninstalled it. Uninstalling GDM took gdm and gdm-themes but left a few of the other packages that came with it. This evening when I booted up my system after uninstalling GDM, I found that it's broken! Before being prompted to log in, I get an error that reads, "Can't start hardware abstraction layer -- please ensure dbus is running". I logged into my desktop fine through SLiM, but couldn't move the cursor and couldn't open any web pages. I tried getting rid of a couple of the other packages that came with GDM, including xserver-xephyr which took zenity with it. (I don't know what either of those are.) That didn't solve the problem. My question thus is: What did GDM do with hald &/or dbus, and how can I fix it? My network connection and mouse are inoperable, but the keyboard still works. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks~ | xserver-xephyr lets you run multiple xserver instances. zenity is a program that allows for easy use of graphical dialogue boxes. None of this should change hal.

I have some kind of internet connection configuration problem, thats the best I can word it at the moment because I not sure what is causing the problem.

Hi. I'm writing because of a very strange problem i encountered yesterday. I have a wireless router at my home and 3 laptops connected to it one of which is my Thinkpad with Debian Unstable installed on it. I restarted the laptop and after i did that i couldn't detect my network. The windows laptop detected the network with no problems and connected. My laptop on the other hands detects lots of wireless networks (about 10-15) but not mine. I am running Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and Network Manager 0.8.1 and my wireless network card is 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) and i have installed the firmware-iwlwifi package. I don't remember updating anything relevant recently and besides i hadn't done anything to my laptop (like updating or restarting) before i encountered the laptop. I haven't tried removing Network Manager and installing Wicd because iwlist scan doesn't detect the network either and this leads me to believe that it is not a Network Manager problem. I tried removing all saved settings from Network Manager, i tried setting the router at b,g (it was b,g,n by default), restarting the router multiple times, changing the network's name, i also check the various network settings in the router and they look like their defaults. I solved the problem by resetting the router to its default configuration and setting it up again. So more than likely the problem was not with my debian laptop but with the router. However i still wonder why the windows laptops could connect to the network... | did you also restart your windows machine? guess mode: if the issue happened between the time you booted up the windows box and the time you restarted the debian machine, that would narrow your search for the problem by about 50% it's windows dude, it's not rocket science..... |
I can not get a few web pages to load in any browser I have installed. Google Chrome, Chromium, or Iceweasle. In LMDE I also have Firefox and Epiphany and none of these browser in either OS will load speedtest.bhntampa.com. My ISP is Bright House and if I have an issue they want me to run their speed test.

Thats the situation: I create a live-cd with live-helper and install it afterwards (just to test if it works) Thats the problem: When i try to upgrade/dist-upgrade or install a kernel manually i get this error-message: Code: Select all │ │ You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version ↑ │ 2.6.30-libre-fshoppe1) This will not work unless you have configured ▮ │ your boot loader to use initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that ▒ │ expects to use an INITial Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system ▒ │ into RAM and use that for booting). ▒ │ ▒ │ As a reminder, in order to configure LILO, you need to add an ▒ │ 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf ▒ │ ▒ │ I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader -- please read your ▒ │ bootloader documentation for details on how to add initrd images. ▒ │ ▒ │ If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message, ▒ │ please put "do_initrd = Yes" ▒ │ in /etc/kernel-img.conf.

If one knows a fast way to solve this: thanks. Else thanks for your time. greetings | The problem related to initrd is not a problem. Either edit the file or simply continue and everything should be fine. Debian uses a initrd so it shouldn't be a issue. I think I also have trouble with the 2.6.30-libre-fshoppe1 kernel booting on some hardware so you may not be doing anything wrong at all. Give me a sec and I will check it out... |
I have a very slow, unreliable Internet connection (Africa). I thought I would try using Squid as a caching proxy to see if that would help. I'm running Squeeze (current). I installed squid3 on my workstation via aptitude from the Squeeze repository. I configured "http_access localnet" in /etc/squid/squid.conf according to my local network settings. All other settings Debian/Squid defaults. I set my browser to use the proxy connection (3128). When I start my browser I get an "Access denied" message from the squid proxy. I've spent several hours browsing Squid FAQs, configuration options, /usr/local/doc etc. and can't find any hint of what I'm missing, but I'm obviously missing something. Assistance would be appreciated. | Squid 2.7 is more suited for caching. |

I have installed splashy from sid. Rest of the system is squeeze, and put the parameter "vga=791 splash quiet" in the kernel parameter... Unfortunately this is not working properly. It does load the splash image as intended, but it then just hangs here, and does not load the OS unless I press enter. (I asume that something is hangning, but I cannot see the shell from here, and ctrl+f2-f6 is not working so I cannot get to any tty). Then after boot, I can only see the / partition. But not /home. Duing a fdisk -l shows up the partitions, so they are there, just not mounted at boot? --edit-- If I press F2 at boot, before the image shows up, it does actually boot without any issues at all. It must be something with the image loading that is causing this. Any ideas to what is wrong, or where I should look ? | Hm, I get this error after timeout.

Hi folks, I'm trying to get my Intel HM55 GMA HD graphics card to work in Debian Lenny. As the vanilla Xorg didn't have any support for it, I manually compiled the last stable Xorg source (1.7.1 - such a pain) and the Intel driver.

Hi all, I've been scouring the internet for an answer to this problem. I am using Squeeze and have properly configured Grub2 to set my console screen resolution to 1024x768x32 (as per updating /etc/default/grub to contain 'GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32' and updating /etc/grub.d/00_header to contain 'set gfxpayload=keep') and everything works wonderfully. My resolution is set as it should be. However upon installing Xorg (aptitude install xorg ratpoison), my console resolution gets changed to what appears to be 1280x1024. I thought that this was due to xrandr, however when I issue: Code: Select all# xrandr -s 1024x768 only the X resolution is changed. When I then CTRL-ALT-F1 back to the console, the resolution is still at 1280x1024 (I am aware that xrandr only affects X, but I assumed that because my console resolution was correct before installing X there might have been some correlation). I would like for my console resolution to stay at 1024x768 as per Grub2's configuration and for X's resolution to be at 1280x1024. Any ideas? PS I also noticed that prior to installing Xorg, my CPU boots up without any screen blanking (only for a second or so). However, after installing Xorg, during the boot process the screen does blank briefly. It is at that time that the resolution gets changed to the 1280x1024 setting. Thanks to all, FB | When you install xorg, you will also install a display driver which will probably enable kernel mode setting, this is why your console resolution will change during boot up. It's never worried me much, but I think you can change the framebuffer resolution using fbset. |

This problem is on my Acer AsprireOne running Testing and started early last month. Printing to a shared HP 5L printer on my 64bit AMD (Testing) has been working fine until then. It first started when I noticed I lost the connection to the shared printer/box when printing from the Testing Acer(cups and/or cups-pdf update?). But cups-pdf still worked fine. Following the instructions here: http://www.debianadmin.com/setup-cups-c ... ebian.html I was able to get printer working and I could print to the remote 5L. But I now can not print to cups-pdf. However, if I comment out /etc/cups/client.conf ## Servername #ServerName 172.20.22.74 ## Encryption #Encryption IfRequested I can print to cups-pdf, but not to the shared HP 5L. Both the 5L and cups-pdf are listed in the printer list at localhost:631. | Something during a CUPS, CUPS-PDF, or SAMBA update, changed, but I had a thought this evening and tried it. It worked! Until it broke, I had configured in CUPS the location as: http://debian64:631/ipp/. changing it to: smb://192.168.1.4/hp_laserjet_5l fixed the issue. I can now print to CUPS-PDF and the shared HP 5L.

Does anyone know how to delete or disable kickoff menu items? I need to disable or delete the SLEEP and HIBERNATE menus as they don't function properly causing the system to crash. I searched the internet and local configuration files without success. Thanks for any help. | Apparently, the kickoff menu application uses the script: /usr/bin/pm-is-supported to determine whether it makes sense to include a sleep and hibernate menu items.

If I then use ifconfig wlan0 up to start the driver I also have to manually run dhclient wlan0 to get an ip address. If, however, I use ifup wlan0 the driver starts, dhclient is called and the dchp request is successful. The results of Ifconfig wlan0 after the initial failure to get an ip address is Code: Select allwlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:e8:46:c9:75 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) After performing ifconfig wlan0 down then ifconfig wlan0 up, ifconfig wlan0 is Code: Select allwlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:e8:46:c9:75 inet6 addr: fe80::213:e8ff:fe46:c975/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:3393 (3.3 KiB) The second time there is a new line Code: Select allinet6 addr: fe80::213:e8ff:fe46:c975/64 Scope:Link |
Hello, I'm running a lenny amd64, and shifted from kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 to 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (lenny-backports), to get support for my laptop WiFi chipset. Done this yesterday, rebooted several times since then. But since this update, I don't get sound anymore when running inside one of my chroots, whereas it plays well from main host. Before, I did get sound with no problem in chroots (the lenny32b one is intended for browser use, including flash support; here is my use of audio in this chroot) : Code: Select alluser@computer:~/temp$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono user@computer:~/temp$ schroot -c lenny32b I: [debian.i386.lenny-9a37a22b-39ad-4d2e-ab16-6aecddcdb5e0 chroot] Running login shell: '/bin/bash' (debian.i386.lenny)user@computer:~/temp$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wavaplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:564: audio open error: No such device (debian.i386.lenny)user@computer:~/temp$ groups user cdrom audio video plugdev games users netdev avahi pulse clamav usbfs (debian.i386.lenny)user@computer:~/temp$ exit logout user@computer:~/temp$ uname -r 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 user@computer:~/temp$ su Password: root@computer:~/temp# dpkg -l |grep 'ii.*linux-image' ii linux-image-2.6-amd64 2.6.32+27~bpo50+1 Linux 2.6 for 64-bit PCs (meta-package) ii linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 2.6.26-13lenny2 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64 ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-25lenny1 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64 ii linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 2.6.32-23~bpo50+1 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs root@computer:~/temp# dpkg -l |grep 'ii.*oss' ii alsa-oss 1.0.15-1 ALSA wrapper for OSS applications ii flac 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - command line too ii libao2 0.8.8-4 Cross Platform Audio Output Library ii libflac-dev 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - C development li ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtime C librar ii liblua5.1-coxpcall0 1.13.0-1 Protected function calls across coroutines f ii libwavpack1 4.50.1-1 an audio codec (lossy and lossless) - librar ii libwxgtk2.6-0 2.6.3.2.2-3+lenny1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GT ii libwxgtk2.6-dev 2.6.3.2.2-3+lenny1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GT ii oss-compat 0.0.4+nmu2 OSS compatibility package ii tuxguitar-oss 1.0.dak-1 tuxguitar plugin for sound playback using OS ii wx2.6-headers 2.6.3.2.2-3+lenny1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (he user@computer:~/temp# dpkg -l |grep 'ii.*alsa' ii alsa-base 1.0.17.dfsg-4 ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-oss 1.0.15-1 ALSA wrapper for OSS applications ii alsa-utils 1.0.16-2 ALSA utilities ii alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9 graphical soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.19-2 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii libwine-alsa 1.0.1-1 Windows API implementation - ALSA sound modu ii tuxguitar-alsa 1.0.dak-1 tuxguitar plugin for sound playback using AL ii vlc-plugin-alsa 0.8.6.e-2.3+lenny1 dummy transitional package root@computer:~/temp# dpkg -l |grep 'ii.*pulse' ii libpulse0 0.9.10-3+lenny2+b1 PulseAudio client libraries root@computer:~/temp# exit exit user@computer:~/temp$ Do you have any idea why the device is not reachable anymore from chroots ?

Hello, I run an old Toshiba Satellite M35x S114 Laptop with Debian Testing, it always runned smoothly - although it IS testing . Since the latest update to kernel 2.6.32 , the X server just freezes. The init goes all the way to gdm, and then a blank screen , no mouse pointer, no way to get out of this screen (not CTRL+ALT+BACSPACE not CTRL+ALT+F1 / F2 ... etc) just a hard reset. I can boot to the older .30 kernel with absolutely no problem, gdm starts normally login successfull (as I am able to write this on the reffered machine and all).

Hello All, I am running a Debian Lenny, configured as router / dns /dhcp + ddns server and am trying to get rndc to work remotely. Configuration on the server seems ok, i can connect tru rndc , when i ask the rndc status i get a response. Now i am configuring a client for remote rndc connection, and it trows me connection refused. the rndc.conf on the client points to 172.16.0.1 on port 953, and the key is the same key (i checked it over and over again.) if i nmap 127.0.0.1 on the server it gives me that 953 is listening (port of rndc) if i nmap 172.16.0.1 (which is the ip of the server) their is no port 953 listening. in the named.conf u define the ip that rndc uses to listen on, i have it set to : inet 127.0.0.1 etc ... when i change this to 172.16.0.1 and restart bind9 it fails to start. Somebody an idea what the problem could be ? included a doc with the screens Thanks in advance, Joachim. | Sorry girls and boys, i found the problem, Apparently you cannot define another ip then the loopback in named.conf where rndc is listening on. you need to put a wildcard "*" and then it works. greetings, |
ok, i'm about to install squeeze from a netinstall cd, but i want kde instead of gnome, let me see if i got this right: - the tasksel dialog during the installation (from cd1, i assume netinstall is the same) shows entries like "standard system" "graphical desktop environment", "web server", and so on - if i check "graphical desktop environment" it installs a gnome desktop. i checked with tasksel --task-packages and gnome seems not to be inside the "desktop" task. there is an extra task called "gnome-desktop", which is apparently installed as well. so how exactly do these menu entries correspond to the actual tasks? - "desktop" contains the basis for gnome-desktop or another desktop environment, but beyond what is obviously required for that (for example xorg), it also installs a lot of additional things (like iceweasel, gimp, openoffice). why is that? isn't there a task for a desktop basis without extra applications? im confus but to shorten my request, how do i go about installing a system with kde (tasksel --task-packages kde-desktop looks good to me) and a reasonable basis for a desktop environment (standard system tools, xorg, alsa,...). is there a task for that? | I would say during the install just choose 'standard system' and not 'desktop'. Once the install is finished, fire up your package manager of choice (I recommend aptitude) and install the KDE packages that you want. Using the tasksel method you seem to get everything, including the kitchen sink. |
Hi guys, I switched over from ubuntu and I have an audio issue with my Asus EEE 1001PXB and my Realtek ALC265 soundcard. Basically, sound only comes from the internal speaker, but when I plug in my headphones the sound goes dead on my internal speaker and no sound comes from my headphones. I solved this issue by installing linux-alsa-driver-modules from the ubuntu-audio-dev PPA. I tried to add the modules via command line in terminal after editing my sources.list file and adding the PPA line. It worked fine with chromium install, but fails to find linux-alsa-driver-modules and from the looks of it, it connected fine when I do aptitude update. Does anyone know how to correct this and get the ball rolling? or is it something I just need to wait out on? It seems to be a rather rare issue as I can find little about this specific problem even when you use existing fixes for similar hardware. This is the link for the PPA info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/Installin ... verModules Here is my PPA link in sources.list Code: Select alldeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/stable/ubuntu/ lucid main aptitude search yields nothing. Any advice? | Adding an Ubuntu repo is a good way to mess up your Debian system as they are not really binary compatible. While I am not really firmilier with your sound chip or system you can do a search in Synaptic for alsa for the Debian components. Remember to remove the Ubuntu packages and then remove the Ubuntu repos from your sources.list. Then update the packages list (aptitude update, apt-get update or hit the update button on Synaptic). Hopefully what you have installed so far hasn't already messed things up to a state that will make things difficult for you to recover from. |

I made a directory called download in the root directory. It's assigned to root and won't let me access it. I would like to change the owner permission. Can someone explain how?? | Harley51 wrote:I made a directory called download in the root directory. Why?

So I was reading this thread on internet privacy and decided to 'upgrade' my system. I installed privoxy and tor and chained them from squid so it looks like this: iceweasel >> squid >> privoxy >> tor. All is working well except when I go to edit my privoxy default.action file I get a fatal error. I've got version 3.0.9-1 The original line in the newly installed default.action file. Code: Select all#+hide-referer{forge} I edited it by simply removing the #. Code: Select all+hide-referer{forge} Then: Code: Select allsu -c '/etc/init.d/privoxy force-reload' And I get this in the logfile.

I have a TV/radio tuner and I installed the gkrellm-radio plugin. The plugin works fine, but, it only works with /dev/radio. I'm not sure if its safe to rename files so I just create a symlink of /dev/radio0 as /dev/radio. It gets pretty annoying to me to have to create a symlink every time I start up my computer so I can listen to the radio. Is there a way to get linux to permanently name "/dev/radio0" as "/dev/radio"? | In udev rule like SYMLINK+="radio". It can be added in the appropriate rule or can by written the new rule with it and with the smaller number than common rule. Peter. |
Ethernet, bluetooth and video work fine. I also managed to get the wireless card working by installling "firmware-iwlwifi". I can make the touchpad work sending to the kernel the parameter "i8042.nopnp" at boot time(grub), but then I get the computer frozen for a second every five second(just to make and idea), so I decided to use a usb mouse, until I get another fix. As you can see I can use the laptop except that... I have no sound at all, I can only hear something using headphones. I've been searching the web but the only thing I found is a fix in ubuntu using some kernel-modules from backports repository, but can't install them on debian.

Hey all, I am using a ASUS 1000HE with 2GIG Ram and 64GB SSD Drive, Debian Squeeze 2.6.32-5 (version 2.6.32-18) - LXDE / XFCE - slim I have initramfs-tools version 0.97.2 installed - When I upgrade to version 0.98 and reboot, I get a Kernel Panic error - something about /sbin/bootchard - (I think?) I have backed up my system and restored it twice and isolated this culprit. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Just in case you wanted to know how I am backing up and restoring: Backup Code: Select allsudo -i d if=/dev/zero of=delete bs=1M rm delete dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -c9 > 1000HE-081510-LXDE_Xfce.gz Restore sudo -i Code: Select allgunzip -c 1000HE-081510-LXDE_Xfce.gz | dd of=/dev/sda Thanks for your assistance | Hey friend, I had the same problem you had except I pulled mine from lenny-backports (and the version was not quite as new as yours) but the same bug appears to manifest itself in both. I am currently running a mixed Debian Lenny 64-bit system (basically lenny with several backports such as kernel, iceweasel, and OpenOffice) with the 2.6.29 bpo kernel on ext4 (both / and /home), fglrx (9.3), and a couple of select packages from squeeze and maybe one from sid (ufw / gufw) and gwibber. The machine is an Acer Aspire 5100 2.0 Ghz Dual Core AMD Turion 64. Well stupidly, I did a sudo aptitude -t lenny-backports full-upgrade, after which time my machine would no longer boot. The error it would halt at is /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) At the time, I had no idea why (online web searching was no help whatsoever.) So, the next day, I was reverting the to the old packages (one by one starting with the one that might impact the kernel and/or boot process) and the second one I tried was initramfs-tools_0.94.4~bpo50+1_all.deb and then did a sudo update-initramfs -u and then it booted again fine (the version I reverted to is 0.92o [from lenny] from the rescue mode of my install CD via dpkg -i) I tried to forward this to the lenny-backports folks as a bug report but I am not sure it made it. In any case because of your experience with squeeze, this needs to be files as a release critical bug on squeeze (Did you check to see if a bug is already filed?) Further, it seems to me that you could upgrade to squeeze and lock the version either using pinning or dselect so it stays at the one that works until they get this bug fixed. (I'll will be glad to help if you need further advice on how to do that.) |
I use Tor chained with Privoxy (not Polipo) on my Debian Lenny system. My default browser is Iceweasel with NoScript and Torbutton. Previously, when I toggled torbutton "off", in Iceweasel, Edit -> Preferences --> Advanced -> Setting shows "no proxy", and when torbutton "on", shows the expected proxy settings. Previously, when torbutton "off", pointing Iceweasel at http://www.privoxy.org/config/ shows a page at their website telling me that I am not using Privoxy, and when torbutton "on", displays a notice from Privoxy telling me that I am using Privoxy. Unfortunately, the recent updates apparently broke Privoxy for me. Now, when I toggle torbutton "on", I get an warning stating that previous test failed, and pointing Iceweasel at http://www.privoxy.org/config/ gives me an "internal Privoxy error" message. Also, pointing Iceweasel at https://check.torproject.org/ says I am not using tor, yet shows the request coming from an IP which comes back to a valid Tor server at https://torstatus.kgprog.com/tor_exit_query.php and similarservices. (Note: https, not http. Always worked before!) And Privoxy and Tor are certainly running, and iftop and netstat show that I am connecting to Tor servers, and my Tor error logs even show that Tor thinks my DNS lookup is being proxied properly. Yesterday, I uninstalled and reinstalled privoxy, tor, torgeoipdb and some libraries/packages they need, such as tsocks. My config files appeared unchanged, but for a while I had torbutton "jammed in on position"! (Fortunately, I spotted that before sending username/password anywhere.) I was able to fix this by first stopping privoxy and tor Code: Select all/etc/init.d/tor stop /etc/init.d/privoxy stop and then in Iceweasel Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Settings "no proxy". This problem might have been due to accidently confusing my system about whether I wanted to install torbutton using the debian package, or using the toolbar in Iceweasel. Eventually I went the second route, and checking Iceweasel Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Settings with torbutton toggled on/off suggested torbutton is working again, and so do external checks. But after all that pain, I seem to be back where I started. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Could this be a problem with a certificate at privoxy.org? Another Tor question: when I reboot, privoxy and tor start automatically (as should happen) and tor immediately starts contacting tor servers. (I can see that tor is calling out to each IP, and I can check that each IP is currently or in some cases was formerly listed as a Tor server.) The Tor documentation clearly explains that Tor tries to form and hold open tor chains, ready for use when I toggle torbutton to "on", but it doesn't mention this boot up behavior, which seems to be related to some stuff I see hints of in the OR mailing list which I do not understand. I am using freshclam (in daemon mode, set to download once per day rather than once per hour), and before I torified most web connections, I would sometimes see freshclam take up a large amount of bandwidth for five minutes or so, but the behavior I am talking about is completely different: tor appears to contact each tor router in a list (to see if they are up?). Usually I can see in iftop that tor is downloading more than uploading, but after yesterday's update it seemed to be initially sending more than the usual amount of information. Did anyone else notice that or know what it means? Another Privoxy question: how can I check that privoxy is trying to scrub some of the more obvious identifiers before sending html requests on to tor? | Well, so far i know that on Lenny polipo is doing its part to get tor to work, you should try changing privoxy for polipo. |

Hi All, I'm running an up-to-date install of Squeeze, and I'm having an annoying issue where php5 won't parse in userdirs (/home/*/public_html), although it works fine in the main document root (/var/www). I found this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571714 Which seems to say the issue is fixed. However, the last comment for this bug suggests it is still an issue for some. I've had a look at: Code: Select all/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and commented out the lines suggested in the comment: Code: Select all<IfModule mod_php5.c> <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "\.phps$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source </FilesMatch> # To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines # (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it # prevents .htaccess files from disabling it. #<IfModule mod_userdir.c> # <Directory /home/*/public_html> # php_admin_value engine Off # </Directory> #</IfModule> </IfModule> ..and it still doesn't work. I've googled this and can't find an answer. Anybody know? Am I missing something simple? Thanks in advance! | I purged all the related packages and re-installed. That fixed it... |
How can I have /etc/resolv.conf point to my router address as the nameserver Code: Select allnameserver 192.168.1.1 instead of picking up the ISP's DNS servers and using that as the nameserver entries? Reason being I have more than one ISP account, and when I change I do not want to have to remember to restart the networking service. because i often forget. | milomak wrote:How can I have /etc/resolv.conf point to my router address as the nameserver Code: Select allnameserver 192.168.1.1 instead of picking up the ISP's DNS servers and using that as the nameserver entries?

Hi, I'm trying to TFTP router configurations to a server in the same local network without having to first make files in the server's TFTP directory . The transfer of a config file from router to server works perfectly if I make a file with touch and then chmod the file with 777. I found information that says to use the -c or --create option in the TFTP configuration file (/etc/default/tftpd-hpa) if you want TFTP to work without having to create the files first. The problem is, I have set this parameter and restarted TFTP , but it is not working. Here is my /etc/default/tftpd-hpa file: Code: Select all# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" #TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot" TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftp" TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69" #TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --create --listen --verbose /tftp" #modifications RUN_DAEMON="yes" #OPTIONS="-c -l -s /tftp" Here are the results of a transfer to an already created file: test5, and after that a transfer attempt without creating a file first Code: Select allR1#copy ru tftp Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.80.91 Destination filename [r1-confg]? /tftp/test5 !! 882 bytes copied in 0.708 secs (1246 bytes/sec) R1#copy ru tftp Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.80.91 Destination filename [r1-confg]? /tftp/test6 TFTP: error code 1 received - 18025 %Error opening tftp://10.0.80.91//tftp/test6 (No such file or directory) R1#copy ru tftp Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.80.91 Destination filename [r1-confg]? tftp/test6 TFTP: error code 2 received - 20334 %Error opening tftp://10.0.80.91/tftp/test6 (Permission denied) R1# Any ideas would be appreciated.

I recently installed Squeeze. I had sound with the video driver that came with the install. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from Nvidia website. The sound dissappeared. When I uninstalled the Nvidia driver and removed xorg.conf and rebooted again, the sound came back. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from (nvidia-glx, dev and settings) from Debian with Synaptic. The sound went away again. If I uninstall the nvidia driver and xorg.conf the sound will probably come back again. The sound driver is the one that came with the install. The volumes are unmuted in the alsamixer. Somehow alsaconf command does not work. My mother board is a ASUS M4N78 Pro with Nvidia IGP. What can I do to have sound with the nvidia driver? Thank you. | what is the output of lspci -nn |
I'm running squeeze. The klipper icon has disappeared from the system tray and I can't figure out how to restore it. The service is running. Stopping and starting it has no effect. Changing the display options for the system tray has no effect. I can bring the klipper dialog up with Ctrl-Alt-V but there are no options available regarding the system tray. It's obviously a user configuration issue since if I login as root the klipper icon is displayed. I tried to copy the klipper configuration file contents from root to user, but that also had no effect, except to alter some non-relevant options. I haven't been able to locate any other configuration files that might be relevant. This seems to be a not uncommon problem with klipper, but the causes seem to differ. I haven't found any solutions vi Google. | Try deleting the klipper config file. Rather than being a klipper bug it might be a bug with the panel or plasma. Try checking the BTS.

Hi everyone, I upgraded my kernel in my Debian Lenny to version 2.6.32-bpo.4-amd64 to fix a problem with a software and ALSA-related issues. The thing is that now, when I boot, eth1 is not enabled and I have to "load" (I guess) the driver each time. To do this, I go to the folder where all the files for the drivers are and I run: Code: Select allmodprobe lib80211 and then Code: Select allinsmod wl.ko That I got from the readme file. That gets the wireless working perfectly again, but when I reboot the wireless is dead again and I have to run the commands above again. I imagine that what I should do is to build the driver again, for my new kernel. However, according to the readme file, before I need to install linux-headers-generic and build-essential. With build-essential, it says it's already the newest version, and with the linux-headers, I don't know which one should I install for my kernel! I thought it would be the linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64, but when I tried that, this is what happened: Code: Select alldebian:/home/hernan/Programas/hybrid_wl# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64 Reading package lists...

I'm running Debian testing/unstable, with my swap on an lvm volume. When I boot into the system, the swap doesn't become activated, even though there are messages that point to the contrary (for instance: "activating swap file...done"). After it's done booting, I run the command "free" and it shows that there is no space allocated to swap. "swapon -a" doesn't load the swap file either -- I have to do "swapon /dev/mapper/xxx-xxx". The swap appears in fstab, and also in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume, so I really don't know what the problem is. Can anyone help, please? I'm at my wits' end with this..... | can you post the relevant line from fstab. Also the output of "swapon -s" after you get it mounted. What other portions of the system are on lvm? Actually post the entire fstab |
Hi all! I'm rather new to Linux...especially Debian. I've been running Kubuntu for about 1 month now and I wanted to try out Debian as well. So I installed it on a laptop (Downloaded the 6 DVDs). Now, how do I add some repositories to Synaptic so I can update my software? Also, is there a list of repositories? So far, every time I want to install something I need to insert one of the DVDs. Thanks, ElWray | http://man.cx/?page=sources.list http://www.debian.org/mirror/list Make sure to also read Synaptic's manual. |
Hi, Enabling kernel modesetting on my computer breaks graphics, but Xorg.log and syslog don't tell me much, because they don't log any error. The symptoms are the following: boot goes on normally, then the KDM login screen is corrupted. On the login screen there is a big square instead of the cursor, and that square does move as I move the mouse. If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I'll get a black screen instead of the terminal, and from there I cannot go back to virtual terminal 7 for login. The only thing I can do is to issue sys-requests for read-only remount and reboot. Where could I start looking for the problem? What does it seem to be related to, Xorg, kernel, radeon driver? Thank you | Make sure firmware-linux-nonfree is installed, radeon and fbcon are listed in /etc/modules and try rebuilding the initrd. |

Get it from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/ ... i/download I've noticed some firmwares need to be in /lib/firmware while others need to be in /lib/firmware/<a_directory>/ Installing the firmware using a Debian package at least makes sure the firmware is in the expected location, has the right permissions, and can be upgraded via package management.
