What problems may I face if I change my Iceweasel's User-Agent to Firefox? I need to do so to properly display media content in WhatsApp Web. Alternatively, do you know of any extension in which I can apply a specific user-agent string for a determined site? | yzT wrote:What problems may I face if I change my Iceweasel's User-Agent to Firefox? None. Problems with UA spoofing may arise when someone crosses "families" of browsers (for example, FF -> MSIE, or Webkit -> gekko). Since IW ~ FF, you should be fine. |
Hi, I have Inceweasel 31.8.0 installed on LXDE Debian Wheezy and I am trying to make AdBlock Plus work. The thing is that I get pop-ups from any site, Youtube ad videos, etc. all the time, just like I have nothing installed to prevent that. I tried: - Installing AdBlock from Iceweasel add-ons, with a suscription to easylist ; - installing xul-ext-adblock-plus (also with the same suscription). With each configuration or even with none of them, I get the same results as described above. Is there anything I can do ? By the way, I don't get Youtube ad videos on Chromium with Adblock installed through the Chrome webstore. Thank you in advance ! | I have the same Iceweasel version and use uBlock, which is equally good and takes less memory. |
I recently upgrade to Jessie and instead of installing Chrome from the google site I decided it was best to install Chromium from the Debian contrib and/or non-free repositories. After installing I then found that i had to install the pepperflash plugin. I find that viewing flash content ( I wanted to watch the SpaceX launch from the NASA website this morning) is almost impossible. The sound comes through okay, but the video comes through at about one frame per second. Fortunately I had Iceweasel as a backup. Since Chromium does not support the NPAPI flash plugin, that is used by Iceweasel, are there other options? I can delete Chromium and install Chrome but I have heard there are issues with Chrome and Jessie. Perhaps I should just give up on Chrome/Chromium altogether, even though I think the web page presentation is much better with Chrome. Things I have tried: Uninstall and reinstall the pepperflash plugin Changed flash settings By the way, I don't have problems with Youtube because I receive HTML5 content from there. Maybe I should contact NASA and get them to broadcast HTML5. | I presume you installed pepperflash using: Code: Select all# aptitude install pepperflashplugin-nonfree Have you tried: Code: Select all# update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install You can check the version with: Code: Select allupdate-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status FWIW, my jessie system has pepperflash and it works just fine -- it should be identical to the Chrome version once it is installed.

Hi guys. I'm new with debian and my english isn't really good but I need help. I will try my best for explain myself, pls help me.. I installed debian 8 (I used windows 8.1 before that) but when i installed debian it locked the partition which windows 8.1 installed. so when i try to boot windows it didnt and when a tried to use windows repair it said "The drive where Windows is installed is locked.

I ran iptraf last night, and I saw activity that I'm pretty sure should not have been there. I closed all apps that connect to the internet first, and yet there were connections appearing from various places in the world. They appeared and closed pretty quickly, and I'm sure they were not all due to the whois lookups I was doing. This was on an up-to-date wheezy amd64. Then I rebooted into another installation on this computer and got the same kind of activity. Second installation was a devuan debootstrap that was made on the above mentioned wheezy. Third test was to boot a live usb (without persistence) that I made a couple years ago (or whenever debian 7.2 was current). I saw no strange activity in iptraf there. Fourth test was back in the original wheezy, but I ran iptraf in a vbox install of wheezy 7.8 (updated yesterday). No strange activity. The reason I started doing all this is because my roommate had a problem with her windows7 box yesterday - the keyboard stopped working, and after rebooting, she got a message box telling her there were attempts to hack into her computer, and before I knew what she was doing, she called the phone number displayed in the message and was talking to someone with a foreign accent. She'd already given him control of her computer, and he was trying to explain what the problem was. Yikes! I pointed out to her that unless she knew what that phone number really was, she could be talking to the hacker, but that was too late. They wanted $100 for some antivirus software, and I think that's where the conversation ended. She claims the computer is working fine now. I'm not well versed in network security, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to proceed in diagnosing my own computer. Yeah, I know the windows box should get a complete reinstall. Or maybe someone can tell me how to get Farmville to work in linux, and she'll no longer need windows. Someone else already gave her Mint on that box, and she's ok with using it except for that one game. | What is your network setup and net connection type? fsmithred wrote:and yet there were connections appearing from various places Incoming? what protocol (TCP/UDP/??)? to what ports? any other identifying details?

summary: I'm creating a multiboot/multi-ISO Linux LiveUSB as detailed here. IIUC all the ISOs I'm targeting are derived from Debian Live; all are being {tested on, booted by} legacy BIOS hosts. All of my target ISOs are now passing (i.e., they boot on appropriate test hosts), but that's only because I've fortunately stumbled upon useful GRUB `menuentry`s online. I'd like to know, how to "debug into" these problems, especially into setup and use of the initial RAMdisk and its filesystem? Pointers to documentation (unfortunately not found via websearch) are welcome. details: Following are 3 main sections: background describes what I'm trying to do; it can probably be skipped by anyone who is expert on LiveUSBs, ISOs, GRUB2, etc (but may be useful to others). test successes describes what is working. test failures describes 2 situations in which I'd like to be able to debug. background I'm setting up a multiboot/multi-ISO Linux LiveUSB as detailed here, which I intend for use on multiple hosts (i.e., any arbitrary PC I decide I need to boot). I'm testing my LiveUSB on 2 laptops: both have legacy BIOS (not EFI), and both have installed Debian-based distros (which they run well): a 10-year-old 32-bit/i686-pae ThinkPad a 6-year-old 64-bit Clevo/System76 test successes As detailed here, my test hosts can currently boot 6 different ISOs (5 `boot=live`, 1 `boot=casper`) from the LiveUSB. test failures The following failed in the very recent past. I was able to derive working `menuentry`s from hints online (as detailed in in the current /boot/grub/grub.cfg). But without that luck, I don't see how I could have debugged the following problems. Hence I'd like to know more about the process of debugging boot of an ISO from a LiveUSB.

Hello everyone. I've recently installed Debian 8 in my machine. I've got excited when I saw the possibilty to use my Owncloud account (my server is installed on a Digital Ocean cloud machine) directly on the system configuration. Well, I added the acount there and my owncloud webdav folder appeared on Nautilus everytime I turn my PC on, what's great. So I've started to save my Libreoffice docs on the cloud, believing that I finally got free from google docs. But the problem is that when I save the docs on the cloud, LibreOffice writer gots too slow. I can't edit a cloud doc patiently because it's really very slow. Anybody knows a way to fix it? Thanks everyone and sorry about poor english. | I've found a solution for this and I will post to help anyone who has detected the same problem. The best way is to install the package owncloud-client. Code: Select allsudo apt-get install owncloud-client You can create a folder on your /home partition which sync every local file modification with your owncloud root folder. So you save the files locally and the system sync it silently with the server, with no aparent delay. Libreoffice (or any other app that you use) read the files locally, sparing time. I believe that this could be the default owncloud behavior natively installed on debian systems (a local folder syncing quietly with server), not that one which the system cames with (reading and saving directly on server, causing long delays). |
Hey there, First time poster, second time linux. When I was 18 (not too long ago yet) I operated Ubuntu for a couple of years because windows. This was very straightforward and a pleasant experience all round. Recently I decided to install on my new laptop and thought I'd give debian (Jessie) a spin. My laptop (HP pavilion g6) was slowing down and thought this would be good. Everything went sweet with the install excepting that I had to install a few driver packages for things like my Radeon graphics and broadcom 802.11. I played a bit with different desktop environments and eventually settled on gnome as it seemed the most intuitive and closest to what I envisioned in terms of functionality so I started customising the look, installed a theme and then, as I logged in to a gnome classic session something changed. Next time I restarted I was faced not with the pretty (GDM?) login manager but with what looks like 1995. The resolution is about 800x600 and I have a large grey box which just asks for a username (no suggestions) then a password (no *'s to mark place) and no option for choosing sessions. I have since changed the default session to Gnome 3 normal but the login remains. I can't find any solutions on the big wide web for this problem although this could be terminology based. If you have any ideas or methods for me to find ideas it would be appreciated. Also is it possible to get broadcom bluetooth going? it's on the same chip as the wireless and I've read it can be difficult. No big if not but it would be nice to have my bluetooth speakers unwired again. Cheers P.S. I'll try to screenshot the login for you although I'm not convinced it will work. | First time poster, Well welcome, to Debian, I have a large grey box which just asks for a username (no suggestions) then a password (no *'s to mark place) and no option for choosing sessions.

Do you know your "username" ?, no suggestions should be needed, just type in your user name, same on the password, just type it in, (if you know it), press the enter key,... The username would be the same as what you used when you installed. the password too.

It is kind of hard to give a answer , to many things are "unknown". |
Hi, I have a problem with my debian install. I 've got a laptop with 3 OS: First I installed windows. Then I installed ubuntu 15.04 in an encrypted partition, and another partition with /boot (/dev/sda6) created when I installed Ubuntu. And, finally I installed Debian 8 in an encrypted LVM (/dev/sda8) with 3 partitions (/, /home and swap), and a /boot (/dev/sda7) partition created when I installed Debian. Needless to say that both /boot partitions are not encrypted Previously I had a similar configuration with ubuntu 14.04 and Debian wheezy. The problem is that I can't start the system by using the Debian grub (/dev/sda7). So Ihave to boot the system using Ubuntu's grub (/dev/sa6). The second part of the problem is that when I boot Debian using /dev/sda6 (ubuntu's grub) , plymouth does not work. I tried purging grub and reinstalling it again with the ubuntu partition mounted, and it did not work. I did not have this problem with my previous configuration (with wheezy and xubuntu 14.04) Any ideas? | Boot debian and get root privilege and execute the following and post the results Code: Select allos-prober dpkg -l |grep grub mount |grep /boot fdisk -l ls /sys/firmware/efi |
After spending hours trying to get NUT to work with my UPS (Asium P700), to no avail, I decided to install WinPower. WinPower works fine but I have noticed something strange when I do an apt-get dist-upgrade. I get the following messages: ldconfig: /usr/lib/libjspAixPpc.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: /usr/lib/libjspTru64Alpha.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. These files are part of the WInPower package. I see that they are also in /opt/MonitoreSoftware/lib (which is the WinPower software). I do not know why they are also in /usr/lib as I do not think they are part of the Debian distribution. I suspect that the WInPower install put them there but not sure why they would be needed in two locations. So, does anybody know whether I can (or should) remove those files from /usr/lib ? Do those messages have any impact on the dist-upgrade? Is it best to just ignore the messages ? I would use NUT if I could but it just won't work, darn it ! Thanks for the help. | Well, the answer to the first question is PROBABLY CAN NOT REMOVE from /usr/lib . That is because it is used every time WInPower runs. So, answers to the other questions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Hi again I upgraded my Wheezy 7.8 to make sure all packages were installed Before taking the next step to upgrade to Jessie... I upgraded to Jessie and it seemed to run OK....but after reboot I had no network Connection... I checked ifconfig and the wrong network card mac address is being assigned to the wrong card....? I have a clonezilla server on my server, so this was my network interfaces before and after upgrade Code: Select all# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

What do I do to fix the problem?

Hi all, Before I used to make a copy of configuration file and give the end of the file name as 'something.conf.bkp' . Later realized it was a mistake. The correct wording should end in .bak and not bkp . As per (See apt.conf(5) manpage, section DIRECTORIES, last paragraph.) The Ignore-Files-Silently list can be used to specify which files APT should silently ignore while parsing the files in the fragment directories. Per default a file which end with .disabled, ~, .bak or .dpkg-[a-z]+ is silently ignored. As seen in the last default value these patterns can use regular expression syntax. | Usually you can just add anything to a file suffix to stop it being parsed eg. configfile.conf.mycatsname. .bak and .old are regularly used. Your quoted section looks to be specifically for apt. |

Hello. I'm looking forward to know how to connect to a remote server through SSH but from a specific port, so I con drop connections from random ports that's not the one I choose. Is this possible? I have tried by setting up an iptables entry to forward output through both, PREROUTING and OUTPUT (one at each time, flushing when I can see that it's not working), in NAT table, so I can connect doing ssh localhost Code: Select alliptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -s 127.0.0.1 -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 4141 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2:4040 Unfortunately, it is not forwarding as I'd like. I want to do this because I think that doing this will enhace the security, dropping connections of clients that are trying to connect from not allowed ports. I have already set up fail2ban and created SSH keys, not allowing to login with password, only key allowed. Will only allowing connections from a specific port will enhace the security or not really? Any suggestion? Thank you | If you already have fail2ban, no passwords, and only key authentication I feel like those things are good enough from a security perspective. I feel like what you are trying to do is possible but also pretty complicated and not really necessary. |
Hi guys I suppose a lot of you have seen the long thread about network-card problems.... Yep, it's me...lol I am one very unhappy bunny at the moment.... I would like some suggestions if you could on the best way to retain my raid-array setup and do a fresh install of Debian Jessie? My setup is as these gparted pics.... After reinstating my Wheezy it ended up being allocated as sdc...but my fstab is: 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.

Clonezilla is directly setup for the raid-array.... I have also a separate drive for my virtual machines...do a lot of testing of new linux versions, windows etc.. I would like to keep my sda as the system drive...which it isn't showing in gparted at the moment... Questions: What is the best way to do a fresh install and keep the raid-array? Do I disconnect the drives apart from my SSD system drive and then add them to fstab and mdadm after installation? Can I keep the drives connected and add them to an array again without erasing them during installation? I realise that a fresh install is the way to go now and am prepared to do that...just do not want to loose my customer images.... or my virtual machines bookie Edited because link to pics was wrong | bookie wrote:it ended up being allocated as sdc The allocation will change from boot to boot -- this is why your fstab identifies the partitions using the UUID. I know nothing about RAID but as long as you stick to UUID designations the block device allocation is irrelevant. |
Hi again! After all I have gone through with problems with the network cards installed in my computer... I now try to install Jessie and the first thing is it says Swedish is incomplete do you want to continue?!!! Since when has Swedish been incomplete?!! The second thing which really ****** me off is the fact on installation Jessie finds two network cards and chooses the one to continue with....and that is eth1 and not eth0... Sure enough eth1 is the built in network card?! Since when has an extra network card installed in the computer been chosen as a primary eth0? It is no wonder I have been getting problems..... I ran an install of Wheezy and my network cards are as they have been since I first installed Wheezy... eth0 is the inbuilt network card eth1 is the extra card Is anyone else getting such crap? Question: Why would they release Debian Jessie if Swedish is an incomplete translation...? I have never had this before... I was wondering why after the upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie I was getting some items in menus in English?!! I am not impressed but will continue with the clean installation knowing what I know now and see what happens.... bookie | Hi again! OK! I have noticed something that didn't seem to matter when installing Wheezy... My inbuilt network card has a realtek driver and I am now on my second attempt at installing Jessie... This time I have chosen the netinstall and had my realtek driver on a USB....this time it installed the driver and then eth0 was the inbuilt network card.... With Wheezy I installed the firmware package afterwards but still had eth0 as my designated local network....obviously I must have had to connect ot the other network card when installing...can't really remember now...lol Sorry, rambling on here... Going to continue with the netinstall and then see how it is... bookie |

Now that I finally figured out the printer problem (USB) and "permission denied" problem (printer mask), I encountered a new problem. When my Debian box (7.1, 64-bit) is sharing a disk and a printer (via CUPS), printing a couple of pages from another machine (Windows Vista) works fine, but then suddenly the system seems to freeze. No response to CTRL-ALT-DEL even. Only power switch reset works. With disk shares there has never been any problems (used more than a year). Got the printer working a couple of days ago. That has happened a couple of times. A 3-page document comes out fine. Maybe 5 documents come out fine, but then - in the middle of printing a document - freeze. Any idea where to start looking for the cause? Very annoying when it happens in the middle of paying bills. The printing from another machine is also quite slow compared Linux Mint or Puppy that I had earlier (before my old MoBo went bust - that's why the changes). The MoBo is GA-B75M-D3H with an i3. The printer is Canon Pixma MP 140. | You don't need samba to share a printer but, if your printer is Wifi capable or will plug into a Wifi router you can forget sharing; each unit can handle its own printing. |
This maybe related to systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service, though I can't say I understand. After my most recent update, the boot sequence hangs at: "a start job is running for Create Volatile files and directories" with a timer and no limit .. I let it go for 12 minutes, but nothing. It seems as long as this sequence remains, the boot process does not finish and just hangs here. I haven't been able to find anything specific to this. I currently cannot boot into this machine, though do have access to files via dual boot. Any ideas for a workaround here? | After doing a bit of research from what I can see it is to do with either your /tmp or swap partitions. Can you check to see if they are mounted properly in the fstab? |

Hello. I followed the instructions from the wiki page, i searched the internet for other solutions but i can not install skype in Debian 8. The only code that worked was from here http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/45998. Following those commands skype managed to finish its installation, but i could not find it anywhere in the menu or via terminal.I installed pidgin (and skype-pidgin) to see if it will find it, but nothing happened.

Recently I installed Debuan "jessie". I previously had Windows 8.1 and Xubuntu installed. After installation Debian installed it's own version of GRUB, with entries for Debian, Xubuntu and Windows. The problem is that after I selected Windows when booting, GRUB menu no longer appears. It boots straight into Windows. It's lenovo Ideapad z510 laptop, with special button that allows me to select between 4 options before booting - one of them is "Boot menu". I didn't use it before windows "removed" GRUB, but now there are 2 options: Windows boot loader and Ubuntu. When I select Ubuntu it loads my old boot menu (from before installing Debian). I thought that when I use update-grub from Xubuntu I will at least eb able to boot into debian. After I did that Debian option appeared in the GRUB menu, but it didn't work - black screen. How to get GRUB menu working again (and avoid replacing it by windows boot loader)? I know that there are several simillar problems on other forums, but I know very little aboout it and I don't want to break it even more. | Try this from Windows (administrator privileges required): Code: Select allbcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\debian\grubx64.efi If that doesn't work, you can try following this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall If that doesn't work, boot up Ubuntu and post the output of: Code: Select all# efibootmgr -v |

I recently installed Debian 7.6 64-bit on Dell Vostro 1520 laptop. I would like to install OneDrive (Microsoft) but doesn't seem to be officially supported for Linux. I found these instructions for "onedrive-d" at following http://xmodulo.com/sync-microsoft-onedrive-linux.html the instructions mention.... "onedrive-d" was originally developed for Ubuntu/Debian, it now supports CentOS/Fedora/RHEL as well. ... I wondered if it was safe to follow the instructions from my Debian 7.6 installation. I am still a novice using linux and don't want to mess things up Thanks and regards, Hugh | it all depends on your level of comfort and what you use the computer for. the standard advice (and i assume here that 7.6 is a stable version), is that you should only run packages from the official repos. because well they have been tested to work well together. the moment you introduce something like this, you move a step away from the stable environment. now that is not to say that is package will necessarily cause issues. the point is that it has not been tested to work officially within the stable environment. so if the stable environment is of paramount importance to you, my suggestion (and i think many others might agree) is to not install it. if however you are willing to contaminate your stable install, understand that you are at the mercy of this guy's code. if it is a popular package, you might take some solace in that others may have interogated the code. no guarantees. if it is not popular, then you don't even have that solace. the choice is yours. |

I am trying to setup NUT for my UPS and am running in to some problems. I am running Wheezy 7.7 with LXDE as my desktop.

I installed NUT using the package manager. 2. First thing I found was that the file paths (such as ups.conf) did not match what is in the online documentation at http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/use ... index.html However, I was able to find ups.conf and edited the file to add this for my UPS: [Asium] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto desc = "Asium P700" 3.

Do I need to re-boot in order for the ups.conf changes to take effect? Am I wrong to assume that the correct driver is usbhid-ups ? Help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Add on info: I also noticed that the the directory /var/run/nut that I created keeps disappearing after reboot. Why is that and how can it be prevented? | Well, I believe I have found the problem. The usbhid-ups driver is NOT built by default !!! So I will have to do that. Problem is that I am TOTALLY ignorant on how to do it.

I noticed in Live Jessie (Cinnamon, maybe it is in all of them) a neat little screen that appears when the system is booting up--maybe called the splash screen? Anyhow, it's the Debian icon with some swirls around it; similar to the default background in Jessie. But the swirls had little animated lights moving up them during bootup. Can I add this feature to Jessie post-installation? | fred barclay wrote:Can I add this feature to Jessie post-installation? Yup. https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth |
From message 35 in 78129 bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=781929 The version in experimental drops symbols. This is intentional. All reverse dependencies making use of those symbols are affected. All of them will need to be fixed not to use those symbols. I have held openssl for a bit now. My working hypothesis on this is that it is going to take awhile to get all the programs that utilize symbols "compliant" to work with the change in openssl. Another hypothesis I have is that my utilizing the previous openssl 1.0.2a-1 is no more a security hole than any other older openssls - that the change is openssl is an incremental increase in security. My actions of apt-mark hold and patience follow from these ideas. Is this a valid plan? edit: Thanks. | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... 768476#119 http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/c ... _changelog Openssl 1.0.2a-1 is not afected. |
Hello chaps, Quick Question asking for your opinions. I am using an 128GB SSD with three partitions: One partition is / with 50GB Second is /boot with 1 GB Third is unused currently but formatted with an ext4 partiton. My second drive is an 500GB HDD used just for /home. My question is is it safe to mount the unused partition to a directory within the home partition with my user having ownership of that directory? My answer would be yes... but I would feel safer asking you. | Why wouldn't it be? It's just like any other mount, just make sure /home is mounted first. |
I have just installed Jessie and XFCE. I have successfully added some programs with synaptic (Gwenview for example) and removed some (Iceweasel for example) but my current attempts to run synaptic all fail with the message Code: Select all Please insert the disc labelled: Debian GNU/Linux 8.0.0 _Jessie_ - Official i386 xfce-CD Binary-1 20150425-11:43 in drive /media/cdrom/ This is a tad difficult as I am running on a netbook with no cd reader.

I am using Debian 8 with the MATE desktop and have the chromium web browser installed. In various files (such as PDFs, word processor documents, emails) there are hyperlinks for websites. When I click on a website hyperlink a new instance of chromium is started with a new tab screen displayed but the website I want to view is not displayed. Can chromium be configured so that the relevant website is displayed when I click on a hyperlink? Does this sound like this bug? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=783858 | No, it has nothing to do with that bug. Symlinks and hyperlinks are entirely separate beasts. I don't use MATE. In fact, I have never even so much as seen it. And yet I was able to suss out the answer to this question in under 2 minutes at startpage. I'll offer a hint. You are wanting to set a specific browser as the default in Mate. |

There is a lot of information in your post so I will work through it and see what turns up ... I have not changed any of the setup, it is just a stock Debian unstable, with the odd experimental package installed ... Yes, probably many of the services that are started I don't use or need. Now, something changed a couple of weeks ago, and, yes it does get bogged down in one spot where it is creating 'temporary and volatile files'. I setup the debug shell so I can do some checks while it is booting. I used iotop to view io activity during the boot and this 'Executing: /bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove --boot --exclude-prefix=/dev' accounts for all io activity, about 99.95% during the long pause. The command is reading only and the accumalated read size gets into the mulitple megabytes ... Both iotop and top don't show anything else happening while the above command is executing. I have attached strace on the above systemd-tmpfiles command during boot, but the time stamps on what I captured are after the long pause so I don't think it helps. I assume some of the early system calls were missed by the time I issued the command. I tried booting to the rescue.target (single user) as suggested, but it has the same very long pause during boot. I have attached the systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg, which shows the timing of each unit, and udev named services appear to be completed before the systemd-tmpfile-setup.service starts. http://ge.tt/6M1kM522/v/0 |

Hello everyone, when I had Wheezy installed on my laptop (acer aspire V5-571) I experienced a problem that I later discovered was not so uncommon among Debian users, namely the system restarted (not rebooted: the power light went off and after a few seconds the computer turned on again, while when rebooting the power light keeps turned on) instead of shutting down (whatever way I used to do it, like shutdown -h now, poweroff and many other attemps). Then I accidentally discovered that if a usb key was plugged when the computer powers down, it shuts down correctly. Then, looking around the internet, I found that this solution worked just fine for me. However, now that I have installed Jessie the problem has come back with the same properties (the system really shuts down only if a usb stick is plugged), and the same solution provided in the previous link does not work any more. Can anybody help me trying to understand why that solution doesn't work on Jessie, and find another one? Thank you very much for your time | Jessie uses systemd by default which means, if you haven't changed that to use sysvinit, the script has to be run by systemd. As far as I can remember reading, I think, Debian Jessie allows initialisation scripts to be run just like with sysvinit. So, your solution, is to read how a script is added to be run by systemd. This means, you may still resolve your issue in the same way, but instead of having sysvinit handling it, this time, you have systemd. I did some googling and found this link which looks promising to solve your issue. ttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=160766 |
I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I'd like to add a terminal window onto the right side of Gedit. I'm not going over column 80 on Gedit, and I have to use the terminal a lot anyway to test my code, so it'd be convenient to add it into the extra space from column 80 beyond. Do you know how to do this? I have already tried the terminal plugin at the bottom of Gedit, BTW. Too small. | To actually add a terminal to gedit would probably be difficult (unless gedit is a lot more extensible than I realise, which is distinctly possible, since I hardly use it). I'd suggest using a window manager to do something similar instead. Tiling window managers are very suited to constantly flipping back and forth between full screen things, or changing layouts between horizontal and vertical divisions. Some window managers (either tiling or stacking) let you use tabs, so you can put several applications in the same 'frame'. Kwin, i3 and pekwm are examples. Alternatively, maybe look for a 'quake' style terminal, like quake, yakuake, or tilda - you can summon them very quickly with a key combination. |
I have a persistent problem in Aptitude: the "libgnutls26" package always shows as a New Package when opening Aptitude.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my system keeps crashing when I initiate large file transfers, either via SCP, FTP or SMB over LAN. Here are the machine specs: Code: Select allRAM: 32GB Primary disk: Samsung 830 SSD 128GB (ext4) Secondary disk: 2TB WD Green (ext4) Intel Core i7-3770K Processor Running headless on Debian 7.8. output from uname -a : 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux The directory that the files land on are the 2TB secondary drive. The system becomes completely un-responsive and even after plugging a keyboard and monitor, I don't receive a response, so have to manually power cycle the system. I've looked at logs, anything from syslog to dmesg and the time the system goes into this state, there's a missing chunk of time, as if there are no writes to the filesystem. Not sure where to look next, but if someone on the board could provide some feedback on what to check or any kind of debugging, etc. would be much appreciated. EDIT: I have run a memtest on each memory stick individually and they all check out. | I had a WD 2TB Green drive and ended up shelving it. Transfers were very slow apparently due to the Intellipark feature which parks the head after 8 secs of idle. I don't recall crashes though. There is a package called idle3-tools which can disable the feature - https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=idle3-tools More info - http://idle3-tools.sourceforge.net/ I haven't tried it as I just used another drive. |

Hi. I'm trying to expand my Debian partition. I have some free space in front of it. But I have problems. I tried to use some tools on Windows but somehow they didn't want to expand my Debian partition. They could only move the partition. I've searched through internet and I've found some answers. resize2fs gave me this output: Code: Select allThe filesystem is already 3818240 blocks long. Nothing to do! I think I must redefine the start and end points of the partition using fdisk according my researches. But I can't see proper output with fdisk. It doesn't show start, end, etc. when I enter p command. Only showing this, but the information below this is empty: Code: Select allDisk /dev/sda3: 15.6 GB, 15639511040 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1901 cylinders, 30545920 sectors total Units = sector of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xaf2fd721 How can I expand my partition? NOTE: I'm trying to expand it while it's mounted. | I think I must redefine the start and end points of the partition using fdisk... Correct, but for a root partition you'll want to use a livecd like partedmagic or gparted from a live disc. This is a well documented topic, see google. Use /dev/sda, not /dev/sda3 with fdisk / parted. (n.b. fdisk doesn't handle GPT, IIRC.) |

I'm looking for a new web browser to use; I carried on using the old Iceape package browser after it became deprecated because, at the time, it seemed to be the only one that would allow me to set a limit on the cache size. <rant>The static content of the vast majority of web-sites is relatively small, typically < 500KB, with the rest of the content being dynamic, so what's the point of allocating up to 1GB of space to cache? There aren't enough hours in the day to re-visit enough web-sites to benefit from saved download bandwidth over the cache overhead</rant> Anyway, as an option to downloading and checking all the alternatives, can anyone recommend another browser that will run all the usual plugins _and_ allow me to limit the cache usage, without nagging me about updates? A curse upon s/w developers who believe that they should be able to dictate how their users want to work, and then decide that annoying their users is a good way of achieving that goal. | I might be doing something wrong here, but Firefox/Iceweasel works with the only plugin I still need (Flash), lets me set an upper limit for the cache size, and doesn't nag me about updates (it gets updated via apt-get like everything else)... |

( I recently started using a binary distro, other then Gentoo ) the box(s) run 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt7-1. - both, the router and a workstation runs the same kernel, so I compiled the module on the w/s and moved it to the router. modinfo on the original driver shows: 3.16.0-4-amd64 modinfo on the newly compiled shows: 3.16.7-ckt7 I had the same driver compiled and activated within ca. 20 seconds on Gentoo. After a couple of hours spent on Debian, I decided to write this... what am I missing? btw, I moved the kernel config from boot, and from the /usr/src/linux-config-3.16 dir and I also tried the config from one of the header dirs in /usr/src... same result... Thank you! | As far as I can see, the target is an amd64 architecture, but you are compiling the module on a MIPS architecture: not binary compatible. It should be possible to use pbuilder and QEMU on the workstation to cross-compile amd64 on the workstation, but I'm still trying to figure this out at the moment myself. Or you could try a newer kernel on the router, maybe from the Liquorix repository, or upstream Debian. Or just compile the module on an amd64 archtecture; if you give me the source, I'd have it done in a minute for you, since I have amd64 Jessie sitting in a virtual machine right here. Perhaps this guide could be adapted for cross compiling, except with the Jessie base and the amd64 target: http://jodal.no/2015/03/08/building-arm ... -pbuilder/ |
Hello since a few days I am experiencing an annoying trouble with the two programs Synaptic and Gparted. At each (re-)start of the computer, both programs will not run from the menu, panel, or command line. The menu&panel commands are synaptic-pkexec and gparted-pkexec, respectively. Absolutely no reaction . Now I found out that if I log out and back in again (irrespective of which user was first logged in&out and subsequently logged in!) it will work like a charme. Until next (re)start . But it works reproducibly each time. There is a plethora of complaints in the internet, but no explanation given nor solution found. It is ongoing for years, I found reports for XFCE and KDE, but I do not know whether it is related to these DEs. It appears to be specific though for Debian systems including Ubuntu and LinuxMint, I hope after all these years somebody knows the resolution. Thanks Lokesh My system: Wheezy with XFCE4, LightDM and SLiM as login managers (makes no difference) PS: apologies for not providing more information, I wish I knew what to provide | I found a bug report providing a more competent description https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=703016 Another recent good report can be found here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146177 in the last comment by Lennie. Short summary: 1) run Code: Select allps x|$ ps x | grep polkit 1065 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 1465 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep polkitIf the first output line is missing, the polkit-authentication-agent is not running. You may want to repeat this at the first login and again after logout(login again. In my case, this line was missing at the first login and present at later logins. This explains, why gparted and synaptic do not work at the first login, but behave nicely after 2nd. logins. 2) possible solution: replace the underlying XFCE4 menuentries Code: Select allsudo apt-get install gksu sudo nano /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktopreplace "Exec=gparted-pkexec" with "Exec=gksu gparted" in this file. Save and exit. Similarly for synaptic and any other programs requiring authentication. 3) alternative solution (did not work for me) Code: Select allGo to XFCE Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Sessions and Startup ->Autostart Add new item: sleep 2s && /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 Logout-login It remains unclear whether this is a LightDM and SLiM issue or an XFCE4 problem. I tried both login managers with the same results. Anyway, I hope some may find this helpful. Cheers Lokesh |
Hi all, I know one can use 'apt-cache search $PACKAGNAME/KEYWORD' or 'aptitude search '$PACKAGENAME/$KEYWORD' but what if you remember snippets from the short description or/and long-description of a package' . For e.g. I don't remember name of a package which was recent and is about 'intel' 'compiler and memory optimization' or something like that. Does anybody know which package I mean ? This is from the debian-experimental archive. | Within your system Code: Select allaptitude search '?archive(experimental) ?description(word)' The pattern is probably more helpful and easier to understand within Aptitude's graphical interface, using "L" to limit the view.

Hi all, first time here! I'm on CrunchBang 11 waldorf and came here after people at http://crunchbang.org/forums told me to try here... Did anyone manage installing Zeal*? One way is to download and install the deb file they have in https://launchpad.net/~jerzy-kozera/+ar ... /+packages (which is an ubuntu deb file) but I then ran into dependency issues (libqt5location5). I tried to install qt5, but ran into broken packages... BTW, if you have any solution similar to Zeal* (for getting all the documentation locally in one place) that you use I'll be happy to hear about it. Thanks! * "Zeal is a simple offline API documentation browser inspired by Dash (OS X app), available for Linux and Windows. Quickly search documentation using Alt+Space (or customised) hotkey to display Zeal from any place in your workspace. Search in multiple sets of documentation at once. Don't be dependent on your internet connection. Integrate Zeal with Emacs, Sublime Text, or Vim. See Usage » Editor plugins for details." | Anyone...? |

Currently using Debian Wheezy 7.6. Long story short, I accidentally ran a couple root operations on my /etc/apt/sources.list with Ubuntu code I copied and pasted from a forum. Result? My Wheezy repositories were dumped and replaced with Ubuntu sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list. That broke by Synaptic Pakage Manager, plus several software installations (such as VLC) Now, this is my first encounter with /etc/apt/sources.list. I found I could access it using: Code: Select allnano /etc/apt/sources.list When I saw the list was full of Ubuntu listings I decided to remove the whole thing and replace it. This was my next mistake. I use 'rm' to remove the file. Then I hunted for the correct list below: Code: Select all# # deb cdrom:(Debian GNU/linux 7.6.0 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INS$ # deb cdrom:(Debian GNU/linux 7.6.0 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTA$ deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free # wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free With this, I opened Code: Select allnano /etc/apt/sources.list again, pasted the above, and attempted to save and close: When prompted "File name to write" I enter /etc/apt/sources.list and hit 'enter' to save. But when I reopen 'nano etc/apt/sources.list', it's blank, and only says [ "/etc/apt/sources.list" is a directory ] So I shut down terminal, and go to take a look in the /etc/apt/ directory. Inside there is indeed a DIRECTORY named 'sources.list'. What do I need to do to restore the correct deb list to /etc/apt/sources.list ? | /etc/apt/sources.list should be a file not a directory. Post output of Code: Select allls -l /etc/apt You need to be root to edit that file. If you have already installed a bunch of stuff from those 'other' repo's you're probably up for a reinstall anyway... |
Debian Stable AMD-64; Gigabyte motherboard w/ dual memory, 8 core AMD CPU At bootup, there is a full screen of page faults listed. Same screen since I built the box over a year ago.

I have Debian Jessie (Testing) 64 Bit installed on my Laptop with XFCE Desktop. I've downloaded the Arduino ver 1.60 package and have it extracted. When I try to compile a prebuilt sketch (program) for the Arduino Mega 2560, I get the following error message: "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h:30:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory #include <bits/predefs.h>" There are several BUG reports on this error, but I haven't found a solution to the problem. Is there a way to get this BUG fixed on my current install so the Arduino Sketch compiles without errors on 64 Bit Installs? (I used a 32 Bit install of Linux Mint (ver 17) and the Sketch builds and uploads correctly to the Arduino.) Thanks. Larry | Debian repository has arduino ver 1.05. https://packages.debian.org/en/jessie/arduino Do you need version 1.60? If not, how about removing 1.60 and installing 1.05 from repository?

Hi, Debian Wheezy with Xfce I had auto login setup however after an update I have to login again and cannot find the file to reset it. I looked for the Login Window to make the change however I could not find that either but maybe it's an application I remember from Gnome desktop. Can anyone show me the path to the correct file please. | Since you're using XFCE, my guess is that you use LighDM. The Debian wiki explains how to enable autologin: http://wiki.debian.org/LightDM#Enable_autologin |

Hello. When I press the power button on my laptop the shutdown menu should appear for 60 seconds, and then it should shutdown automatically (after those 60 seconds) if there's no input from the user. That's how all my other laptops work. However my shutdown menu (with the options Power Off, Reboot, Hibernate, Suspend, Cancel) only shows up for a mere 4 seconds! Where can I set these timeout options? OS=Debian 7 Thanks | Try change "now" to "0" in /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh at the end of this script, but I'm not sure what it will solve the problem.

Hi everyone, I would like to know if a 2go ram and dual core 2.16ghz laptop would be enough to run debian with xfce ? I'm going to use it mostly to code and do latex but also to surf on the internet/watch videos. I really don't know what 2go ram is able to support so, would it be enough to run eclipse, kile, (on th same time?) etc, correctly ? Thanks for helping me guys, Have a good day | Yes...more than adequate. Really depends on how you set up your system. Xfce will run great. System might chug a bit if running HD video or too many concurrent apps...otherwise your Debian Xfce decision should make a wonderful system. |
I've got a fresh install of Debian Jessie, 64-bit architecture, integrated intel graphics card. I'm having trouble running steam. I downloaded the deb and installed it using dpkg.

I am not really knowledgeable about these things but just have a question.

Last year Wine 1.41 was just fine for my little program, but since the new version of my program came out I cannot get it to work in Wine. If there is no way to upgrade Wine is there something else I can use to run my Windows based program?

My system is running Wheezy 7.7 and I have both LXDE and Gnome desktops available. I have the need to edit a PDF file and am having difficulty finding something that works well. Tried importing the file into LibreOffice Draw and the results were, as expected, pretty bad. So I am looking at a couple of possibilities and need some advice. One possibility would be PDFEdit, but it is no longer in the current repository and requires Qt3. What issues would I run into, if any, loading PDFEdit from other Debian sources? The other possibility us a program called Master PDF Editor, which is not in the Debian repositories. The catch is that the program requires Qt 4.6.2 or later and I don't know for sure what version of Qt I have loaded. I think it might be 4.4 but don't know for sure. Tried to execute qmake --version but that apparently does not work on my system. Any suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks. | The stock Wheezy Qt4 is 4.8.2, while wheezy-backports has 4.8.6. |
Hello, everyone. I'm running Debian Jessie and wanted to upgrade to Sid. This is not a production installation, and I have no reasons not to try it, so I thought the experience would be worthwhile. So I backed up my Jessie installation and edited my /etc/apt/source.list to deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ Sid-updates main deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ Sid-updates main deb http://security.debian.org/ Sid/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ Sid/updates main I then ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. My first hint of confusion came from how few packages were downloaded and installed. I think there might have been about 20 or fewer. I had done this before on Kali Linux, which, while it is not exactly Debian, is still rather close. That move to Sid took over and hour and a half. This upgrade was over infred@mark14-62:~$ uname -a Linux mark14-62 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt4-1 (2015-01-16) i686 GNU/Linux 5 minutes.

Hi! I am having trouble with automounting USB-drives in Debian Wheezy (64 bit). I did an expert install with only the basic tools. I later installed xorg, openbox and the file manager PCManFM. When inserting a USB-drive, the drive appears in PCManFM, however I get an error message saying "Not authorized" and I cannot access the contents of the USB. If I run PCManFM as root, the USB is mounted automatically. When searching for solutions on the internet I found that many have solved the problem by installing a polkit authentication agent, and adding suitable policies. I tried this and installed the package policykit-1-gnome and added a pkla-file to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ with the following text: Code: Select all[Allow Automount] Identity=unix-group:plugdev Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultAny=yes ResultActive=yes ResultInactive=no My user does belong to the group "plugdev", so that should not be an issue. I have also made sure to run the authentication agent automatically when openbox starts, as can be seen from my autostart.sh: Code: Select all/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 & fbpanel & sh ~/.fehbg & deluged & pcmanfm -d & (PCManFM is also run as a daemon since it has been suggested that this might be needed for automounting.) I have also confirmed that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is in fact running. This did not help, so I also tried modifying /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy. In the section "Mount a device" I changed the "no" to a "yes" on the line Code: Select all<allow_any>no</allow_any>This didn't help either. I read somewhere that there might be some dbus-issue causing the problem. Since I know nothing about dbus I cannot really comment on this further. The processes "dbus-launch" and "dbus-daemon" are both running, but the command "env | grep dbus" returns nothing. Some extra information that might be useful: I start my openbox-session with the command "startx". My .xinitrc looks like this: Code: Select allexport XDG_MENU_PREFIX="lxde-" exec openbox-session gvfs is installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | yea it sounds like a proper session isn't being setup install lightdm and I suspect everything will just magically work once verified to work you could remove lightdm and see if you can duplicate the session it sets up or just keep lightdm installed you likely need something like exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox in xinitrc The easiest route is to just install and use lightdm or other login manager. just sayin... |
i installed wheezy few days ago. i had it before but now this problem appeared for first time - i just cant extract rar files. i tried with archive manager, arc, xarchiver... nothing works. | Check if unrar is installed: Code: Select all aptitude show unrar | grep State or unrar-free Code: Select all aptitude show unrar-free | grep State One of them has to be installed in order for rar files to be readable.

Hi. So Clementine has been working perfectly until just now. Here is what I did: - Ripped a CD to my ~/Music folder using K3b (Ogg vorbis quality 4 if it matters). - Attempted to launch Clementine but screen pops up for a second before vanishing/crashing. - Launching from terminal only gives a single line error: "Segmentation fault". - Deleted ~/.config files for Clementine and relaunched. The program loads up fine. - Add ~/Music folder to library, and Clementine crashes again with "segmentation fault" error. - I suspect that the newly created files are dodgy, so I move them out of the ~/Music folder and delete ~/.config files again. - Clementine launches again, but also crashes again when trying to add ~/Music folder. - I attempt to change permissions of ~/Music folder to +rwx for everyone but this changes nothing. Halp! Version: 1.0.1+dfsg-2+b1 Debian Wheezy H | Are you sure clementine is using the libraries (.so files) it expects?

Hello everyone, It seems that VLC can nolonger be installed from wheezy-backports due to libchromaprint0 which depends on two packages that are non existent in wheezy-backports: dep: libavcodec54 (>= 6:9.1-1) Package not available or libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 6:9.10) Package not available dep: libavutil52 (>= 6:9.1-1) Package not available Though libavcodec55 and libavutils53 are available in backports and can be installed, libchromaprint0 sticks to its guns and VLC can't be installed. I haven't been able to find a bug report on this, so first I'm posting here to see if there's a workaround. [The Debian backports mailing-list doesn't have a search form] Cheers | Still? They removed the libav 0.9 packages months ago, and still have not fixed the issue? That's disheartening. We rebuilt the missing packages and put them in the MEPIS 12 community repos to work round the problem. |
I have been using the stable version of Google earth for some time and today, for the first time, tried to search for a location. I got an error message - Invalid http request . I read where this may be caused by a problem with a curl library. Anybody know how to fix this?

Okay, I found a fix for this problem. Turns out there is some issue with libcurl.so.4 . So, as per instructions I found at a Ubuntu site I renamed the file /opt/google/earth/free/libcurl.so.4 to /opt/google/earth/free/libcurl.so.4_old . This apparently forces Google Earth to use the system libcurl file. At least that is how I understand it. If some expert would like to weigh in on this I would be happy to hear the expert view. I will leave this post open for a few days before marking as solved to encourage comments. By the way, the version of google earth being used is google-earth-stable-6.0.3.2197-r0 (32 bit) . |
