I've been having a problem with my system freezing. It doesn't seem to do it all the time but most often seems to happen when I am browsing the web with Firefox (the official Firefox downloaded from Mozilla). It may be that it is only happening when I browse the web, but I am not sure. What happens is the system will freeze, all but the mouse. I can move the mouse around but cannot do anything. It always seems to happen after a CPU spike. At first I thought the problem was a failing hard drive as once in a while instead of freezing I would not be able to write to the filesystem as it became read-only. I cloned the partition to another drive but problems persisted. I found the option "errors=remount-ro" in /etc/fstab and changed it to "defaults". So far I have not experience the filesystem becoming read-only but I still get the cpu spikes and freezing. I am not sure how to diagnose this problem. Is there a runtime log that I can check after a freeze up and restart?

Hi there. I'm experiencing an issue with Debian Testing (Jessie). I think it started to happen after a recent update. When opening QBittorrent or the open-file dialog of any GTK2 application (GTK3 works just fine), I get the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution." screen (meaning that X crashed I guess) and I have to log out. I already had this issue just after the installation of Debian on my laptop, but deleting every config file in my personnal directory (every file starting with a dot) fixed the issue. Unfortunately, the same workaround didn't worked this time. I use the free drivers to run my AMD Radeon HD 7730M GPU (hybrid). Installing fglrx-driver package make my computer crash at startup, with the same "Oh no!" screen. Code: Select all$ uname -a Linux jfl 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt2-1 (2014-12-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux If you need any further information to be able to help me, I would be glad to give it to you.

I would like to install Seamonkey/Iceape in LXDE Wheezy. Unfortunately it is not maintained in the Wheezy repos. Can someone teach me how to turn the latest Seamonkey from Mozilla's website, into a deb and and install it. If i can do that is there a way to become a package maintainer for it? Is Iceape a possibility or would I have to compile it? | noalternative wrote:Can someone teach me how to turn the latest Seamonkey from Mozilla's website, into a deb and and install it. You don't need to turn it into a deb to install it. And Seamonkey per se will never be a part of Debian, for the same reason as Firefox. As for HOWTO installation assistance for Seamonkey, there's already about a zillion existing pages on the Interwebz describing how to install a package locally from a tar file. So it's no surprise that a Web search for something insanely obvious like install seamonkey linux returns the pertinent documentation on the very first page of search results. |
I've had to reinstall Debian after a botched attempt to revert to open source graphics drivers on my system (fglrx causes lots of tearing). Now I'm trying to get sound to work in my browsers again, and I remember last time I got it working I installed gnash. I'm not sure if it will really help, but it's worth a shot. Anyway, I tried "apt-get install gnash", and got an error saying gnash could not be found but was referred to by another package. I thought this was odd, and sure enough "apt-cache search gnash" returned no results. The same thing happens with aptitude and synaptic package manager, gnash is nowhere to be found. I went to the mirror in my browser and can see the gnash directory: http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/debian/pool/main/g/ I tried switching mirrors, first to the main US mirror, then to http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/ (which Synaptic found as the best mirror for my location). Both times gnash and any files related to gnash have been missing, and now I get an error whenever I try to update: Code: Select allErr http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu jessie/updates/main Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] Err http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu jessie/updates/contrib Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] Err http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu jessie/updates/non-free Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] Fetched 94.1 kB in 2s (41.1 kB/s) W: Failed to fetch http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian/dists/jessie/updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian/dists/jessie/updates/contrib/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian/dists/jessie/updates/non-free/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] E: Some index files failed to download.

Any one had any problems with the latest release of Wheezy 7.7? Since upgrading, the shutdown dialogue in Gnome is behaving oddly. It gives me the options to Cancel, Restart or Power Off, but powers off within a few seconds whether I want to or not. If I want to restart, I need to be quick in selecting it. The dialogue is never there for more than a few seconds instead of the 60 seconds.

Hi everyone I've an annoying problem and I can't figure out how to solve this. After 9 hours of uptime, some sites become really slow, specially Google Services (Google search, Gmail, Youtube, etc). If I use this command "time wget http://www.google.com" I get: real 2m10.184s user 0m0.367s sys 0m0.054s and this "time wget http://www.youtube.com" I get: real 4m33.992s user 0m0.011s sys 0m0.046s To load that pages fast again I need to reboot the system, but this is waste of time, and I want to find out what's going on, Sorry for my english, I know it's really bad, but I hope you can help me, thank you.

PS3: Facebook and others sites are ok. | When your system is slow, what is the output of: Code: Select allfree -h df -h |
THIS PROBLEM IS SO SERIOUS THAT I CAN'T EVEN POST ON THIIS FORUM. I HAVE HAD TO USE A WINDOWS COMPUTER WITH INTERNET EXPLORER (and I have to copy this manually rather than copy and paste...) I'm experiencing some serious network problems on three computers, maybe four. These are computers my family uses. I suspect that it occurred sometime in the last 2 weeks of updating for Debian Jessie. I can't post on Facebook. I can't edit Wikipedia. I can't access online bank accounts. I can't use torbrowser. I can't use Chromium. I have some useability with Iceweasel but not enough to post on this forum. I even installed the Surf browser and it has problems. Emails are getting impossible to send (they hang. I use Icedove) These problems are manifesting on at least three computers (2 desktops and my netbook) and maybe four (my wife's laptop). I was able to access my bank account using my son's PC running Windows (instead of Debian) and using Internet Explorer. If I log in to his PC with Debian the same problems occur. The issue is not with my ISP. I have gone down that track and their opinion is that it is something to do with how my computers connect to the internet. Other customers in the same geographical area are not having similar problems. Here's torbrowser: Code: Select allLaunching Tor Browser for Linux in /home/netbook/.torbrowser/Browser...

Hello all I'm fresh Debian user (previously stuck on Mint and Ubuntu). I have some strange problem with mate desktop and I'm not sure if it is questiuon of Mate bug or my system configuration. I realized that Mate 1.8 does not process ~/profile during login process (I was suprised because old 1.2 one that I used with Mint did it). So I decided to use ~/.xsession as suggested in some forums. But if I create .xsession file I can't log into system! After ac ouple of seconds after ENTER it takes me back to login form. .xession file is definitely processed - I checked with some echoes redirected to file. .xsession-errors looks like this afterwards: Code: Select allXsession: X session started for ard at Sat 13 Dec 17:13:45 CET 2014 localuser:ard being added to access control list openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 This behavior is not a question of error in .xsession file!

When I terminate it with killall lxpanel and try to start it again through lxterm, I get "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked Aborted".

I didn´t find nothing usefull in logs. Thanks for any help. | Do you have a firewall blocking port 69? This is the first thing that I would check. Port 69 is the default tftpd port. Also, are you trying to do a nfs root mount in conjuction with tftpd-hpa? I ran into a problem with this recently and found a solution, which is why I ask. This was a matter with the nfs server, not tftpd-hpa. Something else to check is this and I will suggest this based on what I use in my config file. Change these lines and see if it helps, and be sure to restart the tftpd-hpa service before testing.

I am experiencing this bug here and the proposed solution is to upgrade wpasupplicant to version 2.2-1. I am on Debian 7.7 and my current version of wpasupplicant (given by apt-cache policy) is 1.0-3+deb7u1 0. How do I upgrade wpasupplicant manually? I can't just remove the package as this uninstalls gnome. Would I have to manually mark the package as installed after I uninstall it? I have found this tutorial which also provides the wpasupplicant 2.3 tgz file. However, it says that the build configuration file it gives would only work for standard WiFi networks (which I'm guessing eduroam isn't?). Any advice on what I should do?

Hi, i have an old laptop (10+ yrs) that has no boot from usb option in bios setup. Previously i have used plop boot manager to work around this, and with grub4dos i could also add an entry to boot from usb. Is there a way to add an entry for booting from usb in grub2? (and no uuid's please, i want to be able to boot any usb device i please) Gratz | Well it seems there is .. After reading countless other posts all voer the internet, mostly from people trying to put grub2 on a stick, wrestling through the grub2 documentation, which isnt up to date, and experimenting with the grub cli i found a way. the place to put your custom entry is /etc/grub.d/40_custom where you can add your own menuentry (syntax is a bit different too - dont use hd(1,0) you'll get an error on not being able to determine C/H/S) #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Boot from USB-drive" { set root=(hd1) chainloader +1 } so simple yet it took me a couple of hours .. |
I'm using Iceweasel 31.1.0 This version has a problem with google Street View and I'd like to use a more recent version to overcome this. I would like to move to a 33.* version. I see slightly newer vesions now available in stable/testing/unstable, but all 31.2* I see 33.* in expreimental, but am scared off by " This package is from the experimental distribution. That means it is likely unstable or buggy, and it may even cause data loss.." My questions are: 1. Given that (I've read) icweasel is simply firefox with backported security fixes to stable & images changes, should I have any fear of experimental iceweasel? 2. How long is it likely to take the 33.* version to move from experimental to testing? 3. Is there any reason to not to simply download the Firefox lastest version from the mozilla site and use that?

I've tried to maintain a direct answer to my question, but I may have been asking to specific of a question? My question is simply this: I understand Debain /kFreeBSD utilizes the Debian Userland, in conjunction of the FreeBSD kernel... Where I find myself asking questions is which of the two is responsible for software compatibility? By that i mean; are standard non BSD debian applications and libraries (For example: FireFox/IceWeasel(Same as you'd recieve from the apt-get command)) compatible with Debain /kFreeBSD? Likewise or do only FreeBSD applications work with it? Or do the software(s) have to be ported from either? Basically what i'm asking is if the standard Debain software repository is compatible, or do I have to get a special version/port just for FreeBSD. I hope my question isn't to vauge or difficult to understand. Thank you all for taking the time to read my question, I appreciate any assistance. -Sam | It is compatible. You install just like you usually install, and /etc/apt/sources.list will have the same content. How Debian (the packagemanagement) figures out which port (Linux, kFreeBSD or Hurd) or architecture (amd64, sparc, powrpc, armel, etc) you are using is beyond me. Different dependencies or rules for building are set in debian/control and debian/rules of the source package (apt-get source packagename). So i assume it happens during building ... Not all software is packaged for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD (but most is). There are pages at wiki.debian.org. Might be they go into detail regarding those questions. Side note: The userland is not from Debian, but from GNU. (At least that is how i and others call it: An OS is userland + kernel, all other apps are just apps, BSD people call them third-party software. Perhaps there are people who call that userland too. I don't). Likewise there is no thing like BSD-applications. BSD is an OS. You can use software on it, which is the same software you can use on other operating systems (one wouldn't say, for example, fluxbox is a Linux application. Or openbox is a BSD application. Or firefox is a Solaris application. etc). In short: Just install kFreeBSD and install packages like you usually do when using Debian. As far it's me Debian GNU/kFreeBSD hasn't got much in common with running a BSD variant (as far the user is concerned, including packagemanagement, setting up network, starting and stopping services, etc), but very much with running a Debian Linux system (or, to be honest, any other Linux out there. Due to, i said it already, GNU coreutils). All imho. |

Hi, Some years ago I installed debian. At the time it was version 6 IIRC. Default wallpaper was very nice: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/SpaceFun and I found even nicer one, which was adopted and very similar to this wallpaper but it was like 3D, like processed with some CG tool and it author had a blog and whole story how was this wallpaper made with several variants. Variants were more like SF landscapes, not much related to this one. Now, I also remember that I was looking for this wallpaper again in the past, and I found it buried at http://www.debianart.org/ It wasn't easy find - I remember I located it after browsing all pages, which OTOH weren't that much at the time. Debianart page now looks completely different and inaccessible I must say, but I tried nonetheless to find the wallpaper obviously unsuccessfully. I also searched all Google images for "Debian Squeeze wallpapers [prototypes/proposals]", "Debian Space wallpapers [prototypes/proposals], "Debian Squeeze wallpapers site:debianart.org" and similar and I got tired. I thought that someone here might know what am I talking about and help me out. Thanks, Vladan | I guess I wasn't that much tired. I found it: http://www.debianart.org/cchost/?ccm=/f ... rumru/1013 |
Morning All, Having a minor issue with a script I'm running via Cron. Now please note, I appreciate this isn't a script anyone would recommend for a Linux server, but as I'm currently away from site on the other side of the world this script is a "temp" fix for a problem I'm having with an ethernet driver. Basically the script is thus:- Code: Select all#!/bin/bash x=`ping -c1 google.com 2>&1 | grep unknown` if [ ! "$x" = "" ]; then /usr/sbin/reboot fi In essence it runs via cron to ping Google every 5 mins and if not reachable (ie unknown host is returned) perform a server reboot (Network restart and ifdown wont fix the issue I'm having, I've tried both).

I assume I'm missing something basic to do with the pathing for Cron, but any help would be appreciated. Again I do realise this isn't a best fix, but in the current situation I need to apply a band aid to fix a broken leg until I get more chance to perform an operation (and get sat back at the server) *EDIT* - Forgot to add, Cron is setup via Webmin to run the job as root | 1st, try to call program with full path: /bin/ping and /bin/grep.

Hi, I want to build an upstream kernel with the Debian image's configuration. My system is normally i386 but I use the -amd64 variant so I want to build that one. My workflow is like this: I build kernels in a i386 jessie chroot. I use the upstream tarballs, copy the config file of the relevant debian kernel variant and then "make olddefconfig && make deb-pkg ..." The problem is: 1. I can build pae kernels just fine using the config file of Debian's -686-pae image. It builds the kernel and creates i386 deb packages. 2. When I try to build -amd64 kernel, using the config file of the -amd64 variant of the i386 package (the one I've linked above), make deb-pkg creates deb packages with the amd64 architecture (the resulting deb files end in _amd64.deb, contrary to the packages I've linked above). 3. Instead, if I build with ARCH=i386 make olddefconfig && ARCH=i386 make deb-pkg, using the same config file from the -amd64 variant of the i386 package, the resulting debs are _i386.deb files, but this time they're really i386, not even PAE. I compared the .config file from the (2) and (3) after the kernels are compiled, and they're same. So, what is the procedure to follow building the -amd64 kernels but in i386 deb files? | I found a highly relevant bug report I'll stript the ARCH=i386 vars, build with KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 and will post the result here. |

Hello, I have installed drupal7 on a debian wheezy system with the debian package drupal7. I have a few questions concerning the initial setup. Starting point : a fresh debian wheezy amd64 installation on a virtualbox instance, only basic utilities and ssh activated at the install stage. Next : drupal7 package installation editing of the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file to set /usr/share/drupal7 as the apache2 root directory : Code: Select all... DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal7 ... <Directory /usr/share/drupal7/> ... (other lines leaved as default) Successfull drupal setup thru accessing http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/install.php First question : is that the proper way to have the apache2 server pointing to drupal7 ? (Other alternatives might be setting up a link from /var/www/ to /usr/share/drupal7/ or copying the content of /usr/share/drupal7/ to /var/www/, these are mentioned in this thread : http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=87104). Second question : I have an issue getting drupal7 updates thru the admin interface (I mean drupal upates, not themes/modules updates). If I go to home>administration>reports, I can see a message : Drupal Core Update status : No update information available. Run cron or check manually. I can run cron successfully but it doesn't find any information about updates. I can activate the check manually link, a progress bar appears briefly (cannot read what it says, too fast) and still no information about updates. I have checked that : the server can access internet (wget http://somedomain.fr successfull) I wonder wether I am missing some packages in my system or I need to edit some php config or if it is a right issue.

Thanks, Manuel | What updates are you expecting? Updates will come via apt-get (or such), as the debian maintainer releases them. For wheezy, this will only be security fixes. With all the files owned by root the www-data user will not be able to change them (this is a good thing), but it also means your admin panel is restricted to changes to the db. You should probably make appropriate vhost definitions pointing to /etc/drupal7/sites/<site> for the actual websites and restrict access to the top level 'control site' to your own ip or such. |

Current kernel on Jessie is 3.16, but fglrx is incompatible with such version. Latest fglrx version (14.6) support up to kernel 3.13, so how could I install this version on Jessie??

Hello Debian world, long time no see. I have been doing pretty good up until now. I am trying to get feh and X to start at login using the tile window manager spectrWM with no Display Manager. I can get X to start automatically if I add Code: Select all[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx to my ~/.profile file, but when I try to add Code: Select allsh ~/.fehbg & in this file I get kicked out and prompted to login back in again. So on my search for the answer I see many posts about using the xinitrc file. So I created one like so: #!/bin/sh sh ~/.fehbg & exec spectrwm & Now, not only does X not start automatically, feh doesn't start at all after I type in startx. I have tried making both files (xinitrc and ~/.fehbg) executable. I have tried feh --bg-scale /home/username/Pictures/bg.jpg in place of sh ~/.fehbg I tried this with an xsession file instead and got the same results. No automatic start of X and when I did start X no feh. I even went as far as to add this code in the ~/.profile file: if [ -f /home/user/.fehbg ]; then sh ~/.fehbg & ; fi I still couldn't get it to work. So then I tried adding feh to crontab with su - username_feh -c /path/to file or maybe that was rc.local. I don't remember because I have tried everything it seems like. So basically the only thing I have been able to achieve is automatic start of X, but can't figure of how to get feh to start with X So if you could please point me in another direction so I can continue to try to figure this out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time | I use the same method as you to start the X server, my ~/.zprofile is the same as yours (with `-- vt7` at the end to start in TTY7) and my ~/.xinitrc can run fehbg without trouble... Neither ~/.fehbg or ~/.xinitrc are executable. However, I do have this line under the shebang: Code: Select allsource /etc/X11/Xsession See if that changes your situation. |

Since, I have no current backups, the dreadful thought of getting a sudden hard disk failure is starting to haunt me. This is quite reasonable as I have a very complicated setup and at the moment I am trying to do some source porting to Debian. I have two IDE hard disks sitting peacefully on a table which I know they both work and would like to use them as external hard disks for backups. Sure, I can buy a modern USB hard disk. What is your suggestion and how much does a brand new USB external hard disk cost? Is it better than using an adaptor? | On my Debian 6 LTS I use SATA to USB dapter to mount extra drives for the server. In a power tower I can mount now up to nearly 10 hard disks for my sons work as music photographer. Five are already in use, I've 6 SATA connectors on the motherboard so the adapter allows me to use 4 out of the 6 USB points to go up to 10 hard disks (the max of disk mountalbe in the tower).

I'm trying to install a GNOME game called Quadrapassel. When I configure it, the output is Code: Select allNo package 'librsvg-2.0' found No package 'libcanberra-gtk3' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables QUADRAPASSEL_CFLAGS and QUADRAPASSEL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. The missing packages cannot be found as named, but it seems that they already exist on my system under slightly different names (librsvg2-2.0). I don't understand what comes after that (the part about pkg_config) or whether or not it's related to missing packages.

I just upgraded to Linux 3.16 and noticed that the suspend/resume behavior has changed. Previously, suspending was handled by the packages acpi-support and pm-utils. There were also some config variables in /etc/default/acpi-support. Now with 3.16, all this doesn't seem to be used anymore. The settings in /etc/default/acpi-support seem to be ignored.

Hello, running Libreoffice in Wheezy; spell checking does not seem to work. I googled and all information found was obsolete for this version of libreoffice. Does anyone know why this is. Thankyou | To rule out the obvious, do you have the correct language package installed. For example; if Office is set to use British English, the en-gb language pack must be installed. If American English is chosen during installation, that is the only language pack that is installed. Changing the locale to British English afterwards does not add the language pack.

But, whatever caused it, when I rebooted the PC I got this message after seeing a watch cursor for a long time. Code: Select all"Oh no! Something has gone wrong." and "A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." I cannot even log on since it has not taken me to the log-in screen. Rebooting again just has the same result. I have read that it is a bug in Gnu but no one seems that clear about how to fix it. I have also read that it is called "fail whale" and you should be able to get past it with alt-F4. When I use alt-F4, all I get is a normal, white cursor on a black background. The only way I have found to get past it is to do ctrl-alt-F4 and then I can log on but I do not get a Gnu desktop, only the command line. Once I logged on to the command line, I looked at /var/log/messages and it includes the line. Code: Select allgnome-settings-[3770]:seg fault at 8 ip 00007f1f221a50f8 sp 00007fff6b5e80 error 4 in libpower.so I have looked this error message up but did not find anything relating it to the "fail whale" error. Most of the posts I found were about VMs which I am not using. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I just upgraded my packages Code: Select all# aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade on my Jessie install, and now dolphin refuses to mount any of my USB drives.

I have Debian 7.0 installed on a Dell Insperion. The other night, the PC randonly froze and I thought the CPU fan had died. However, when I open the box, the fans were working fine and the PC is also working again properly. However I installed psensor using the process outlined here. Psensor works fine but lynis lists it support modules, specifically Code: Select allacpi-support-base bind9-host dnsutils file gnupg gpgv host libbind9-80 libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls libdns88 libisc84 libisccc80 libisccfg82 liblwres80 libmagic1 as vulnerable packages. Should I remove them or should I ignore the lynis warning? Thanks, OH | Remove? NO! Removing some of those will break your system. It appears that security updates for many of those appeared yesterday for Wheezy, no doubt due to the fixed issues. Do you run any sort of update-notifier?

Hi all, I usually frequent sessions under different desktops, window managers. Now sometimes I copy and paste data from one place to another and forget that the data (which may be sensitive) is still residing in the clipboard. Now as I understand it, there is no way to know where in memory would the information be (because if this was known then perhaps there would be an attack vector for a bad guy a.k.a. security concerns) so the only fallback seems to be the GUIfied ciipboard managers. Does anybody know of a command-line interface command/binary which could help me ? Answer :- Code: Select all$ xsel -b -c and press enter. And voila, any desktop environment you are in, your selections in clipboard are gone. | Best way is to read the man page. Since there are 2 clipboards I would use as follwed. Code: Select allxsel -c && xsel -bc |

Hello! Guys, could you, please, tell me a simple command line program that converts .txt files to .pdf? Could be more than one format(.txt) do pdf, but mainly .txt to pdf. He needs to be freeware too. First, i tried text2pdf, but i have to pay for it after 30 days! I'm using Sublime Text 2 and, i don't know, but i believe he doesn't have this option. I don't want to install LibreOffice just to do that. I just want to convert .txt to .pdf. I tried the following command but did not work. I created a file with the text of this topic with the name "test.txt".

Hello all I have a small script that looks like this: #!/bin/bash ls -l echo "end of listing" echo 0 > this_script.sh Basically, what it does is execute two commands and after it, it has to erase its own contents. I won't go into details regarding the reason I want this to happen because it's a long story (but might make a tutorial on this forum in case it works). If I execute Code: Select allsh this_script.sh, it runs well and at the end, the file will contain only a zero character, as it is supposed to do. This script must be executed with cron on a regular basis. Problem is, the last line (echo 0 > this_script.sh) will not get executed. Anything else will. I also double checked this reading the user's mail sent by cron: it displays the outputs proving that the script is executed. So what is wrong with that redirect? | * * * * * sh /home/raiduser/test/autoerase.sh |

In the tools menu, I tried everything in the PDF download options, but can never view it without actually downloaded it as mentioned erlier. I prefer to use my favourite tabbed pdf viewer, qpdfview, to read pdf files. As Linux does not typically require virus checking for these files they can simply be 'opened' with your favourite software instead of 'downloaded'. I also find the built-in pdf viewer to be very cumbersome and resource heavy...but that doesn't answer your question Flash is irrelevant, don't know about pdf downloader but isn't that the opposite of what you want, not familiar with pdf viewer - is that an iceweasel add-on? In Iceweasel, go to edit > preferences > applications. Go to pdf document and set it to your liking. Then enter about:config as an Iceweasel URL, agree about breaking something or other and type pdf in the search box. Ensure pdfjs.disabled is false. Restart your browser and i believe you should be good to go. Edit: forgot to add that you also shouldn't be running any add-ons that stop javascript during the pdf viewing process. |
Hey, guys. I would like to know what are the file systems supported by Debian. In the following website i found: The supported file systems include FAT, Win-32 FAT extensions (VFAT) and NTFS. https://www.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/ch02s02.html But i know there are more. I would like to know all of them. Thanks. | Generally, the Debian installation system includes support for floppies, IDE drives, IDE floppies, parallel port IDE devices, SCSI controllers and drives, USB, and FireWire. The supported file systems include FAT, Win-32 FAT extensions (VFAT) and NTFS. Based on the link you provided, this refers to installation media. These are the file systems that would work should you want to install Debian via CD/DVD/USB. Example, load the Debian Wheezy iso onto a FAT32 USB stick. Debian itself is able to access, read and write to a variety of file systems. If you have gparted on your system just run it and see (without making any changes). Open gparted, click on view and then information. File systems fully supported on the old Ubuntu install that i'm presently working on include ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16 and fat32, as well as partial support for hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiser4, reiserfs, ufs and xfs. edit: typo |

Hi, I've been looking over the documentation a bit and searching (DuckDuckGo) and I'm not able to find the exact answer to this question: I'm running Debian Wheezy 32-bit (3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 i686 GNU/Linux) and using the Xfce DE. I have aded the dependencies to un-gray-out the buttons on the VPN tab in Network Connections. I want to set up a VPN using PureVPN. When i go into Network Connections (Network-Manager), the Wired tab is blank. If I want to use Network Connections to set up my VPN, do I need to create a wired connection in the Wired tab for the VPN tab settings to take effect? Or, will it work OK if I just create the settings under the VPN tab w/o adding a connection to the Wired tab? I would just experiment. But, I don't want to mess something up and have to do a re-install. The system is pretty much where I want it now. Thanks, -Joe | Hi Joe, you need two connections: one connection, where you can reach the VPN "entry". No matter if it's a vpn server on the internet or at home, ifyou connect via cable or wifi. As long as you can reach the vpn servers' IP, all is good. If you have working internet connectivity, this should be all set. The second connection is the VPN connection itself. In its configuration, you define the VPN server address. If that is reachable, Debian and the network manager doesn't care about the details. I don't know PureVPN, but they seem to have a lot of tutorials for the VPN setup. Good luck! Manuel |
I'm setting up a failover server for mail and web. The plan was to keep the backup server in rough sync with the primary by nfs sharing the backup's various directories and allowing the primary to rsync to them periodically. Some of those are in /var - /var/www, /var/mail, and so on. I find that nfs is not stable when sharing /var. Typically after about an hour, the primary server gets Stale File Handle when attempting to mount the share, and nfs-kernel-server must be restarted on the backup server to fix the problem. Obviously this is not a reliable solution. When I remove the /var mounts and rsyncs from my script, everything settles down. I'm hoping I can work around it by rsyncing the /var items to a different directory on the backup instead, and then rsyncing them from there to the actual /var subdirectory destinations upon failover. But I'm curious why I'm having the problem at all. Is it just not good practice to share /var with nfs on a running server, or is there something else I could be doing to make it work as expected? | "sharing /var" produced 1,659,891 results when I searched. The first three hits use Samba. Is that what you are doing? |

Hi, I recently performed a netinst install without X, in order to avoid GNOME. I have installed SLiM display manager and would like it to start at boot, the way gdm normally does on a "default" install. I've run the following: Code: Select all# dpkg-reconfigure slim and /etc/X11/default-display-manager shows /usr/bin/slim as the only option. This seems correct, but my system still boots to the tty. I'm running Unstable, so I tried enabling it with systemctl: Code: Select all# systemctl enable slim As well as setting systemd's default target to be multi-user: Code: Select all# systemctl set-default multi-user.target But still not working. Do I need to edit the grub config? My /etc/default/grub contains the following line, though I still get a tty instead of the display manager when booting: Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" What is the proper way to start the display manager on Debian systems? | wizard10000 wrote:Not sure about sid, but I ran into the same problem for the same reason with Jessie on a netbook - turned out that the DM install didn't pull in xinit. This was a lightdm install, but slim doesn't depend on xinit either. If you do 'startx' does X start? If startx isn't found the xinit package most likely isn't installed. Hope this helps- Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, I ran into that problem too. I understand that a display manager maybe doesn't depend on the xserver even though X hasn't really been client-server for years. But it seems moronic to me that installing xserver graphics drivers like xserver-xorg-video-intel for example does not pull in the actual xserver. Anyways, I did install the x-window-system package and X does indeed start when I try to "startx". |
I am using Debian 7.0 with Gnome. I used GParted to make a new partition for /tmp. The new partition is /dev/sda3. I then added the following to the end of /etc/fstab Code: Select all/dev/sda3 /tmp ext4 noatime,nodiratime,noexec 0 3 I then did Code: Select allsudo mount -a /tmp is now in its own partition. However, when I reboot I can't get past the login screen. I enter my user name and password, the screen darkens and then brings me back to the login screen. I can't get past it. Fortunately, I had cloned the disk with Clonezilla just before I tried this (but after I made a new partition). So I am restoring the old setup. However, I would still like a separate partition for /tmp if I can avoid this problem. | It says /temp in the entry which is incorrect. |

I just upgraded to jessie 3.14-2-amd64, reboot, grub menu is ok, but and it hangs after systemd-fsck, for about 2 minutes before the log in screen comes on. I noticed that systemd-sysv is now installed. It was not installed before the upgrade. I tried to uninstall systemd-sysv, but it will also uninstall gdm3 as well which I want to keep. What causing my problem and how to solve it (other than going back to previous kernel)? | This has (most likely) nothing to do with the kernel. Gnome requires AFAIK systemd, and you've somehow blindly (or forcibly) installed systemd-sysv, which replaces your /sbin/init with systemd. So you cannot really go back (unless Gnome can work with systemd not being PID 1, but I don't know). In any case, systemd "should work". You will have to try to investigate why it takes so long to fsck your disk. You may start by typing "journalctl -b" and trying to spot anything out of the ordinary. |
Problem: I can't see anything at the hi-res of modern monitors, as my eyes degrade. I need to console lower res to good-old DOS-style, 80x25.

Hi guys, Recently my Debian Wheezy is experiencing some form of lag which didn't happen before. It's like when I rename files, when I type, it lags by a letter, and you'll have to wait for a few seconds for the text to be updated. In Synaptic as well as Advanced settings for extensions, I click on a package, the description doesn't update unless I wait for a few seconds or I click and shift the window a little or I wave the mouse cursor over the box (only the regions covered by the cursor changes). Advanced Settings doesn't change screen when I click on a category then mousing over or shifting the window. Any idea what's wrong? I'm guessing maybe something is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. | What is your gpu/driver? Also look at the output of top while it is lagging and see if Xorg has 100% usage. This output might help. It needs mesa-utils install. Code: Select allglxinfo | grep -i render |
I am unable to hibernate or suspend from the KDE and XFCE menus. I only get the lockout screen and screensaver as per my settings when I run the following command as normal user: Code: Select allqdbus org.kde.kded /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement Suspend No suspend. Same with hibernate. In XFCE, laptop lid closing does not initiate suspend--despite my settings. In KDE, the option is blank where it used to say "suspend" when the laptop closed. This corresponds with the missing menu entries. I did a lot of searching and found upower mentioned a lot in the last month (especially last two weeks) for people with the same problem. The consensus seems to be that the recent version/versions of upower completely destroyed suspend and hibernate.So I ran...

I have two laptops that are exactly the same. How can I make an exact copy of the hard disk from laptop 1 to laptop 2 ? First I tried to tar everything from laptop 1 and install debian on laptop 2 and then untar everything but that did not work. The untar was unsuccessful (exited with errors) Next I tried to connect the Hard disk from laptop 2 to laptop 1 and using dd if=/sda1 of=/sdb1 dd if=/sda2 of=/sdb2 dd if=/sda5 of=/sdb5 but that did not work either. Is there some easy way or am I to install from scratch and configure everything manually ? | Probably easiest with dd and both in the same machine:Code: Select alldd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb or with clonezilla or such. Or with udpcast. Or with rsync. Or with tar. Or with cp. With varying degrees of "difficulty" and extra steps required. |
...can be left alone but good for my eyes if solved. The user interface fonts of gnome apps running under kde are too small, examples, gkrellm, grsync, etc. Web-surfing suggests installing gnome-settings-daemon which I recalled I had used before, But this time round, when that daemon is run, no window pop-up for setting things and worse, the cursor disappears. Running Jessie, kernel-3.14 and kde-4.13.1. | You can use your KDE font config in gtk applications if you install kde-config-gtk-style. You can then configure them from the GTK tab in your KDE system settings. |
I have searched the forum but have not found a definitive answer. Hopefully someone can set me straight. I am running Wheezy 7.6 and have installed Gnome, KDE and LXDE desktops. I have found that I am not particularly fond of KDE and would like to uninstall it. However, I am concerned that running apt-get uninstall might cause needed dependencies to be removed. I installed KDE using apt-get install kde-standard . Will apt-get uninstall kde-standard work to uninstall KDE and will the dependencies, if removed, be re-installed automatically ? It is not a huge problem to leave KDE on the drive as I have plenty of space just don't like having unnecessary stuff taking up space. Thanks for any helpful responses. | If you installed KDE first, then removing it will probably remove shared dependencies as well. Probably, because that would be true if it was a metapackage, but I do not know if kde-standard is a metapackage. If KDE was installed after one or both of the other GUIs, there should be no problem removing it. You could try Code: Select allapt-get -s remove kde-standardThen you would know for sure what would be removed. |
a few hours ago I did update of my debian testing on asus eee1201n. on net I'm going with wifi card from netbook. but after today update network manager has new connection: vmnet8 and vmnet1 (this is devices from vmware player and they are not problematic). but somehow now comp is thinkig that LAN cable is connected and my lan network is enabled od system boot. on every boot I must manualy turn off lan (eth0) connection in order to have wifi connection. my /etc/network/interface file is unchanged and I don't know how to solve this problem. how to disable lan (eth0) connection on cable not present? ps. here is attachment of network manager | https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Network ... emSettings |
Hello all, first of all, i know this is not specifically an debian-related issue, so forgive me if this is the wrong forum (please point me the right way). The thing is, i made the most stupid mistake when set to installing debian on a friend's laptop. The machine was almost new, and my friend wanted to keep the original windows image stored in a external hd. The hd was removed from the old laptop, which already had debian installed in it, and pluged in a USB case. This hd has 160GB, and was partitioned with 16GB for / and the rest for /home, both ext4 (on the old laptop). Windows (actually, Dell's) tool for creating the factory windows image said it would need 10GB to store this image. So, we formated the first (16GB) partition of the external hd fat32 and pointed that partition to the tool mentioned. I should've expected that to happen. The recovery creation tool created a new partition table on the disk, making a first partition of 32GB, even though it only used 9,5GB, as promissed before, and leaving the rest as unallocated space. Luckly, my friend's most important (working) documents where backuped somewhere else, but he lost a handful of photos and other files that were on that old /home mounted partition. Is there a way we can get those files back? I've tried testdisk, but it didn't help (perhaps i used it the wrong way). I've also tried simply creating a new partition on that empty space using parted. But i can't mount it because it says there is no filesystem present. Thanks in advance for reading. End of story, we finished installing debian wheezy on his laptop and that went just perfect! | camarada wrote:I should've expected that to happen. Indeed, you should have expected that to happen, because: 1. FAT32 can not store files over 4GB size, so the image file would not have fitted anyways. Probably the cause for the recovery program to create a new partition. 2. No or not complete backups, which is basically an invitation for Muirphy's law. Anyways, you can carve files from the disk using Photorec, which is part of the Testdisk package. Use the file options to limit the program to file-types you are actually searching for, but be aware that Photorec might not find anything, and, for sure, will find a lot of cruft. Since it is impossible for Photorec (or other file-carvers) to recover the original filename you will spend quite some time sorting the recovered files. |

I found many resources on the Internet. They showed me how to use SELinux on Red Hat Linux and Fedora Linux. Are there any help documents devoted to Debian Linux? I don't know how to (1) troubleshoot error messages, and (2) write custom policies for some of my programs. Any help is appreciated. | Well there is: Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ It has a lot of detail but doesn't have headings that directly address your questions. In my experience there is no directory for error messages. Linux is a collection of utilities and an error message is specific to an individual program. For custom access policy, I mostly go to my root account and right-click the program or file and select properties and set user and group access from there. Lemmesee, I seem to remember something...starting Synaptic... Okay, from Synaptic do a search for "selinux". You can install SELinux in Debian. And at the top of the page you will find a check box to download debian-handbook which has this descriptiion: Accessible to all, the Debian Administrator's Handbook teaches the essentials to anyone who wants to become an effective and independent Debian GNU/Linux administrator. It covers all the topics that a competent Linux administrator should master, from the installation and the update of the system, up to the creation of packages and the compilation of the kernel, but also monitoring, backup and migration, without forgetting advanced topics like SELinux setup to secure services, automated installations, or virtualization with Xen, KVM or LXC. That might help. |
So, it seems i just got a rough introduction to systemd when dist-upgrading my jessie installation yesterday. I trust the transition is for the best, but after upgrading my system started to hang for about 1-2 minutes on boot. Apparently, this was because the start process timed out trying to activate the swap partition as the message on screen indicated: Systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\uuid\7fe62743-3bd5-414f-aa60-38ca7fe16c60.device. (7fe62743-3bd5-414f-aa60-38ca7fe16c60 been the entry for my swap partition on fstab). The solution was easy - although it took me quite a while to discover. Somehow the uuid of my swap partition changed with that dist-upgrade. ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ showed me a new one and i update /etc/fstab. My question is, should i report this as a bug in systemd? There is nothing similar to this in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepo ... t=unstable. Is this a bug? Has someone else experienced this? Thanks in advance | That happened to me after I installed KXStudio. Just needed to find the new UUID and edit fstab to the correct one. I can't use /dev/sdX as they all change depending on whether my eSATA drives are switched on. Maybe LABEL might work better. But yeah, dist-upgrade alone should not change UUID. |
Hello, I'm setting up a home server on an old P4 laptop (Dell Inspiron 2650.) I have Wheezy up and running, however I haven't observed the fans operating. I've installed lm_sensors but when I run sensors-detect nothing turns up. I get the impression from searching the net that this is normal for Dell Hardware. Guides I've seen http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/controllin ... ian-linux/ suggest using the i8k driver and installing i8kutils.

You might want to try: apt-get --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends install i8kutils PS: nope. X is a hard dependency of TCL (why??), which means you either install it by hand/from source or you live with X unnecessarily installed (which is not a problem anyway). |
