Hi all, I have made a new partition, called /data (for lack of imagination) which I want to give access to everybody without them going through any hullaballo. Also I want to make my /home/$USERNAME/Videos or /home/$USERNAME/Downloads or anything like that to go to /data. How do I make it. Currently I am the only user using the system right now. | He will still need x permissions on the /data directory to be able to get to it though. On a single user system I usually just give the user sensible rights to the mount point prior to mounting the (fresh) data partition (if there is existing files on it they will need attention too). I don't recall having to do anything else, but it's been a while and I could also be mistaken |

Hello, I'm installing Squeeze on a new system and I want to put Firefox instead of Iceweasel.

This is because I don't want to start the script from the directory each time I launch Firefox.

This is probably a sources.list problem. Recently switched from Wheezy to Jessie, on KDE. Kept security updates from Wheezy, set all else for Jessie. System updated to Jessie ok (hundreds of updates, about 500MB downloaded). Short version, I suspect I have problems with my sources.list, I have poked about the Debian site and I failed to find a list of the official Jessie repositories. More detail: Problems now are: Synaptic works for updates, but has problems. Mark All Upgrades fails every time with no error, nothing happens when I click it. But if I reload the repositories, it works exactly once (has to be refreshed each update). Second problem is that Synaptic will not let me view sources. Every time I try I just get “Repositories changed The repository information has changed. You have to click on the "Reload" button for your changes to take effect” I hit reload and it downloads normally. But after, it still won't let me see the sources. Advice on fixing this annoyance would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm using Debian testing. Everything works great but I'm noticing that text file previews don't appear in Nautilus. Other files' thumbnails like PDF, images, fonts are appearing correctly, but text don't. I looked at the Nautilus preview preferences and "Preview text files" is set at "Always". I also looked in dconf editor if I had text files in the exclusion list, but it is empty so no file type is blocked from being "thumbnailed". I searched in the internet a lot but I haven't found any solution. I also tried deleting the .thumbnails folder, making a symbolic link to ~/.thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails but that do not solve the problem, either. A white icon appear instead the content of the file. If someone knows what to do I would be very grateful. I also forgot to say that this happened since I installed Debian Wheezy from scratch (before I upgraded to testing). Thanks in advance. | I searched more about this and it seems an error on the script or package which generates the previews. Does someone know what package is?

Hello, I'm running Debian on an ALIX board (pretty much PC-compatible thing: http://pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm ). All is working fine, except recently it started happening that after each reboot fsck chokes complaining about superblock mount time: Code: Select allChecking root file system...fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16.1 humel-root: Superblock last mount time (Wed Oct 7 18:53:39 2009, now = Sat Jan 1 00:00:14 2000) is in the future. humel-root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) The immediate reason is obvious - the ALIX doesn't keep the time over reboot, so it always starts with Jan 1 2000, 0:00. When I installed the system, I turned off the interval-between-checks option (tune2fs /dev/sda1 -i 0), as this makes little sense in my case and I was relying solely on max-mount-count checks. All was working fine. But then (after some update I guess) - I started running into the superblock mount time problem. I didn't find out how can I disable this check. A workaround might be to somewhere early after boot (before fsck) set the date to something like $NOW+few_years value. Is there a better solution? What is the proper way of dealing with this? Thanks for any tips. zub | I had a similar problem. It kept recurring until I went into my BIOS and changed the time there. If it keeps happening even after that, your battery could be dead. |
Hi there, I did a mistake with dd. I went to quickly on "/dev/sdc" instead of the "/dev/sdb" orginaly targeted, making a HD unable to reach original datas. Problem also is that HD is the girlfriend's one, who NEEEEED her staff back, what I understand fully. Even if datas are expandables, except for her photos. Basicaly, I wanted to copy an iso on a usbdrive, which was on /dev/sdb, from a file contained in an ext HD, which was on /dev/sdc. I did: Code: Select allcd /media/<ext HD>/ISOs # dd if=Debian.iso of=/dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdb Once again, my fingers moved faster than my brain... I realised my mistake quickly and canceled, but 440MB had already been copied, so the ext HD's MBR was replaced by the ISO. The HD now mount itself as "debian iso", I do not have access to HD's original datas anymore, and a testdisk scan sees only debian'iso's datas only. What I did for now: I tryed to erase this new MBR with: Code: Select all# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<ext HD> count=1 bs=1024 to make the iso disappeared, but it still mounts itself. I think I could increase count or bs values to go over the MBR size, but I don't manage enough to take bad chances. I tryed then, using gpart as Code: Select all# gpart /dev/<ext HD> but since it still recognized as debian iso, it finds no data for olders MBR. I tryed also photorec and testdisk on it, but again, since the iso's MBR is there, I do not find any original datas. The HD is a 500GB Iomega with one FAT partition. The Iomega HD also has a virtual drive mounting on /dev/sr0 containing the Iomega crypting executable for Win (which I don't have the use). | If it's really important, you may get some files back if you take it to a very expensive professional recovery service. A bit level reading scan may be the only way to get anything back especially if Photorec hasn't given results. In future, remember to make a backup of all important data. Hard drives may fail, mistakes may be made. |
Hello all. I've been using Debian wheezy for about a year now. A couple of months ago, both Synaptic Package Manager and Update Manager stopped displaying changelogs for upgradable packages. It hasn't bothered me much, but I'd still like to fix it if possible. For example, right now there are seven Mesa packages that could be upgraded from 8.0.5-4+deb7u1 to 8.0.5-4+deb7u2. When I select libgl1-mesa-dri in Synaptic and click "Get Changelog", I get this: Code: Select allThis change is not coming from a source that supports changelogs. Failed to fetch the changelog for libgl1-mesa-dri URI was: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mesa/mesa_8.0.5-4+deb7u2/changelog I did some googling and also searched these forums and I see that a lot of people had similar experiences around the time wheezy became stable. They were told the changelogs now exist on a different server (or something like that) and that the problem should be going away soon. That was a month ago and I'm still not seeing any changelogs. Is this a transition that is still in progress or is it just my setup? I can't remember exactly when the problem first appeared, but I'm pretty sure it was at least two months before the release of wheezy. It seems I could put the option "APT::Changelogs::Server" somewhere in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ but I don't know what the correct string would be. Please let me know what else I should mention about my system. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. | So when and why that was happen: http://lists.debian.org/debian-infrastr ... 00000.html After around month of that failure, they store changelogs on different location, see where are chagelogs now http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/c ... _changelog And they did make redirect ftp-master.metadata.debian.org to packages.debian.org and that will work for most packages, but... Actualy, synaptic have a bug and does not read changelogs from and when ftp-masters rebuild something, or if it come from wheezy-security for example packages with +b1, that +deb7u2, etc. So those rebulds can be feature request for synaptic maintainer , to ignore reading changelogs for packages ending with +bN and just fallback to changelog from major (not rebuilded) version. And when something is from security repo just inform users: In order to receive the latest Debian security advisories, subscribe to the debian-security-announce mailing list. But of course that's just for stable, old-stable, testing... sid does not have this problem, but +bN changelogs could be fixed for all . |

I also found this after some searching: http://askubuntu.com/questions/146343/h ... s-of-files. I seriously apologize for being a moron! |
Hi folks, I've a very annoying problem with my debian-box (sid, 64 bit, gnome 3.4.2). As shown in the attachment, the visualization of bottoms and text labels is quite awful (I would say GTK2-style...) The story begins when, a couple of days ago. I tried to install a lib (ia32-lib) in order to use a sw. This lib has some broken dep and trying to solve this problem with aptitude I've downloaded a low of 32 bit libs. After a reboot this was the result. I apologies for the poor description... Let me know if and how I can give you more information Thank you | You are most likely fucked, but let us try to undo the changes done with the package manager. If you used Aptitude, open /var/log/aptitude (or /var/log/aptitude.1.gz if the changes were made various days ago), look for the changes that you made when you installed ia32-libs and purge all the packages involved in that situation. Make sure to simulate the removal (and understand the outcome) first. On my 64-bit Squeeze + Backports system, the output of aptitude search '?installed ia32' is null. |
Hi all, I was having the problem of having multiple audio and not getting the english version by default. I did manage to fix it via http://www.howtogeek.com/107902/how-to- ... matically/ Basically as is shared :- This one is super simple, but not necessarily obvious. Just head into Preferences –> Audio (assuming it’s set to Simple preferences), and then in the “Preferred audio language” box, plug in “EN” without the quotes. As far as we know, you could also use “en”, or “English”, but this is what we tested with. It’s worth noting you could also use this to choose a completely different language as the default—just plug in the two-letter country code. I was also able to do the same for preferred subtitles as well which is cool. | Some times it seems to me that i hit on my head seeing the language of VLC player after the installation. Thank you for this post. |
Hello, I have a problem with octave installation from the packet manager, with the error message: Code: Select alloctave: error while loading shared libraries: libfftw3f.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when installing or trying to run octave I searched for something like libfftw3f in debian packages (http://packages.debian.org/search?suite ... =libfftw3f) and found the libfftw3-dbg could provide me something at least close. But even with this package (+ -dev) installed, I have the same error message.

Hello everyone! I'm in deep trouble... I wanted to create a bootable usb key with dd if=my-image.iso of=/dev/sdc (my key) and I accidentaly replaced sdc by sda (my main hard drive...). Now, when I boot my computer, I get the content that should have been on the key and I can't access any of my partitions (I have completely destroyed the partition table...). Is there anything I can do to rebuild the partition table? To be precise, I don't care about the system (which was sda1, so at the begining of the disk) but I really need the data in my home partition (which was sda3, so at the end of the disk). And of course, if I can at least get some of the files back, that would be great! Thank you for your help! I'd be happy to provide more information if useful. | mcorteel wrote:kiyop wrote:PS: About data backup, I backed some of it up, I should have made a more extensive backup...

Hey, I'm not sure when it started, but I am not able to move tabs around in iceweasel. According to Mozilla support, this has been an issue since V8? I haven't noticed the problem until maybe, last week or two ago. Anyone else having problems moving Iceweasel tab left to right, right to left or to a new window by dragging? RM | Mine work fine on Iceweasel 20, using Tab Mix Plus extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -mix-plus/ There are a few similar extensions, and with at least some you can probably 'configure them out of existence', i.e. turn everything off so you get pretty near default behaviour, but different code handling it. There used to be problems with the right-click menu which you could work around using gesture plugins, optionally not configuring any gestures. Might be worth a shot. |
After booting into squeeze, the computer seem to slowed down to a crawl (I have a quad core 8 thread i7920). I opened up terminal and executed top to see what is running, and I found this: gnome-panel 90% cpu gconfd-2 29% Xorg 21% On the bottom of the screen, across from left to right, there are little squarish boxes moving from large to small, and eventually stablized in size. I tried to let it run, but after an hour or so, it is still the same high cpu percentage. I have to get into terminal mode to stop gdm3, and start it again, then everything comes back to normal. Happens in gdm as well. Altho I am mainly running Wheezy on a small ssd now, I still keep squeeze as a backup, since it is supposed to be stable. This seems to have happed after I switched video card. I put in a AMD HD 7950 to replace the HD 4850. I tried to install flgrx-control and fglrx-driver, but it did not work, so I downloaded the driver from AMD and it worked. I don't know if this is related. In wheezy, I use fglrx-control and driver. Any help please. Thanks. | Based on what you posted, I'd question whether your installation of the video driver from AMD actually "worked." It may have installed without showing you any errors, but working correctly isn't necessarily the same thing, particularly when you install something from outside of the Debian repos. If the flgrx-driver package from Debian wouldn't install correctly, there must have been a reason. I'm an Nvidia guy, not an ATI user, so I can't offer any advice based on my own experience. Guesses would include questioning whether or not the flgrx-driver package is correct for your particular video card; also whether, as is the case with Nvidia proprietary drivers (including those packaged in Debian repos) other packages must be installed first even though, in the case of Nvidia's drivers, no dependencies are shown. For example, the Nvidia drivers as packaged by Debian (and also those downloadable from Nvidia itself, last time I checked) won't build properly and then insert the needed kernel module and rebuild your initrd.img file (all necessary) unless you've first installed the build-essentials package. My suggestion to you, until and unless someone with knowledge of ATI cards and drivers comes along, would be to search this forum. You might begin searching on flgrx, for example. I just did that, and found many pages in these forums where these cards/drivers/issue have been discussed. Also check the HOWTO section of these forums. Chances are pretty good that someone's written a HOWTO regarding the proper installation of the flgrx video drivers. I'd bet serious money, however, that something's wrong with your video driver installation. The CPU cycle use percentages you posted are far, far, far higher than they should be, and I'm certain that's why. |

my first attempt at using debian and upon installing, i DID NOT check for debian to use the default config for desktop so now i have no menu bar or top menubar/panel and the bottom panel only has the date/time and log out button. everything is working and running fine but i need that menu button/bar and stuff. just seems to weird without as on my 2nd install on a different computer i DID check to use default desktop config and it looks/works normal. how do i get those items back WITHOUT having to right click the desktop to launch anything all the time. do not suggest right clicking the bottom panel, add panel and the add items, as i have already tried that. i do not want to and don't know how to add items to panels as i haven't learned these cornball names of thing yet. i am using wheezy and xfce thank you | cork1958 wrote:get this upon the first command, cd. config No such file or directory That's because you mistyped it. |

Alternatively, if you prefer the command line then: Code: Select allcd .gnome2/keyrings && ls will show you the files, which you may then move or remove as desired.

I think that my graphic-card is going in an idle state when not actively rendering. For example, when I hover over activities in gnome3, the zoom effect is in 5-10 fps but if i keep showing the activity page it goes up to high fps, like the graphic card is slowly starting, but then if I don't use that feature for a small amount of time it is the same thing next time. This happens on all hardware-accelerated applications for me. I don't know if this is working as intended, is my hardware, drivers or something else. Is there a way to fix this?

I already tried e2fsck and it corrected some errors, created a lost+found and running it again just says the following: Code: Select alle2fsck /dev/mapper/data e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) /dev/mapper/data: clean, 269260/133939200 files, 419271057/535756543 blocks Code: Select allmount /dev/mapper/data /mnt/data/ Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.829616] Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.829687] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-3/dm/name Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.832792] Process mount (pid: 5666, ti=ec3aa000 task=e667c880 task.ti=ec3aa000) Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.832824] Stack: Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.833212] Call Trace: Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.833212] Code: 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 55 57 89 c7 56 53 e8 ee 5a 14 00 8b 5f 04 83 c9 ff 8b 77 08 8b 2d 80 c8 29 c 1 eb 12 8b 14 8d d0 c2 3f c1 8b 47 14 <8b> 04 10 99 01 c3 11 d6 41 ba 20 00 00 00 89 e8 e8 b6 40 ff ff Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.833212] EIP: [<c114a855>] __percpu_counter_sum+0x26/0x50 SS:ESP 0069:ec3abd20 Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:36:20 ... kernel:[ 280.833212] CR2: 0000000005f15000 Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.655897] Oops: 0000 [#3] SMP Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.655968] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-5/dm/name Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.658381] Process mount (pid: 6956, ti=e6732000 task=ea1d5540 task.ti=e6732000) Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.658415] Stack: Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.659101] Call Trace: Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.659507] Code: 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 55 57 89 c7 56 53 e8 ee 5a 14 00 8b 5f 04 83 c9 ff 8b 77 08 8b 2d 80 c8 29 c 1 eb 12 8b 14 8d d0 c2 3f c1 8b 47 14 <8b> 04 10 99 01 c3 11 d6 41 ba 20 00 00 00 89 e8 e8 b6 40 ff ff Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.659507] EIP: [<c114a855>] __percpu_counter_sum+0x26/0x50 SS:ESP 0069:e6733d20 Message from syslogd@debianserver at Jan 25 18:45:04 ... kernel:[ 804.659507] CR2: 0000000005f15000 dmesg output: Code: Select all[ 252.759972] EXT4-fs warning (device dm-2): ext4_clear_journal_err: Filesystem error recorded from previous mount: IO failure [ 252.759979] EXT4-fs warning (device dm-2): ext4_clear_journal_err: Marking fs in need of filesystem check.

Running an up-to-date Wheezy system here, amd64 variety. Oddly, neither doc-linux-html or doc-linux-text seem to be available in the repos.

Hey guys I am out of ideas, so I hope there is someone, who can give me a hint. I am running debian wheezy with linux kernel 3.6 (I had to compile a newer kernel because kernel 3.2 has a bug with ivy bridge-processors) When I installed virtualbox (in linux-kernel 3.2) everything was fine. Also, after I updated to kernel 3.6 I had no troubles. But some weeks ago, there was a virtualbox-update in the debian-repositorys and since then, I am unable to get virtualbox running again. Every time I want to start a virtual machine I get the following error: The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. I ran "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup", but vboxdrv couldnt be found. So I did a little digging and I found out, that the virtualbox-kernel cant be compiled in linux-kernel 3.6 before virtualbox-version 4.2 (and there is only version 4.1.18 in the repositorys). There is my first question: Why didnt I have this problem right after I switched to linux-kernel 3.6? Could it be, because the virtualbox-kernel was compiled in linux-kernel 3.2 and because I compiled kernel 3.6 "by hand" virtualbox wasnt recomplied? So it was only "luck", that virtualbox still worked? Anyway. So I downloaded the newest version of virtualbox from their homepage. Now "vboxdrv" can be found, but I get this output: Code: Select alldavid@Jayne-Cobb:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [sudo] password for david: [ ok ] Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules:.

Schluss. the weird thing is: "linux-headers-3.6.11-amd64" is installed (maybe faulty? How can I check this?). I tried to pass the path of my kernel but since I am not sure what exactly to pass over, that didnt work. I also tried to deinstall, reinstall, ... virtualbox from the website, from their repository or from the debian-repositorys. The only thing that works, is when I boot with linux-kernel 3.2. Then I can run "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" with success and can use my virtual machine - but only until I reboot. I have to recompile the virtualbox-kernel every time I start my pc (and always only with linux-kernel 3.2). My next idea would be to recompile my kernel, but I am not sure what could have went wrong and what to do differently. And since I am not that firm with compiling kernels, I hope somebody could point me in the right direction before I totally screw up my system^^ Or maybe I am just missing a package and I am too stupid to find it..? I hope somebody can help me. Thanks Jodli | Did you compile the kernel using make-kpkg or manually with make make modules_install make install? Also, rather than compile the kernel, you might try using the trunk kernel in experimental. |
I'm trying to do something unique, apparently, because I can't find the answer after hours of searching. I really like the splash screen that comes up after I log in showing that KDE is loading on Wheezy (7.0) testing. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean. I'm looking forward to updating to the stable that just came out. Sometimes when I've done upgrades in the past the boot splashes and login splashes change. This time I'd like to be sure I can get back to what I currently have if I want to. But I can't for the life of me figure out where it's getting the files to display. This isn't the grub splash, and it's not a boot splash. It's the one after that. KDE splash? Login splash? I'm not sure what it should be called. And I *think* it's just the default, but I'm not even sure of that. If I go into the gui System Settings, I just get choices to change to. It doesn't tell me what I'm using now. And it doesn't tell me where the files are stored so I can be sure to save them for future use. I hope someone can figure out what I mean so that you can set me on the right path. | It is indeed called the KDE Splash Screen. And the one you're using is indeed Wheezy's default. (It's called "joy") And you need not worry. The "joy" splash hasn't changed merely because Wheezy has been released. Edit: For your future reference, when you go into KDE's system settings, the KDE splash currently in use is the one that's highlighted. And it occurs to me that I didn't actually answer the original question you asked. In a virgin Wheezy install, system-wide KDE Splash themes are stored in /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/ |
Hi all, I have an another system on which I have debian which needed to be dual-boot. I installed the other OS and grub was damaged .

How do I tell it to mount automatically and take my XFCE and GNOME bearings from /home ? Please lemme know whatever info. is needed to be more of help. | It's just a text file.

i have formated /boot as EXT3, and put kernel , sysmap there if i compiled the kernel with EXT3 as a module , then i will need initrd to make it able to mount HD but i have a question here , why grub not need this module and load the kenel but kernel does | GRUB does not really need to "mount" the filesystem, all it needs to do is understand enough about the filesystem to be able to read the directory structure in order to find a particular file's associated blocks, and then load those blocks. GRUB has support for doing this with the EXT2 filesystem, and from a read-only standpoint EXT3 and EXT2 are functionally equivalent. |
Hi all, I was reading this article today :- http://archive09.linux.com/articles/48910 and came across these lines :- Another useful tool is script, which allows you to save a log file of your recovery efforts from a command shell. By keeping this record, you can avoid repeating failed solutions and ensure that any information you gather isn't lost. Can anybody tell me if this tool script is available and if yes which package is it in ? | I think it's refering to the "/usr/bin/script" executable that's installed by the bsdutils package (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... s/filelist) Here's it's manpage:Code: Select all$ man script | cat SCRIPT(1) User Commands SCRIPT(1) NAME script -- make typescript of terminal session SYNOPSIS script [-a] [-c command] [-e] [-f] [-q] [-t[=file]] [-V] [-h] [file] DESCRIPTION script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the type- script file can be printed out later with lpr(1). If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript. Options: -a, --append Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior contents. -c, --command command Run the command rather than an interactive shell. This makes it easy for a script to capture the output of a program that behaves differently when its stdout is not a tty. -e, --return Return the exit code of the child process. Uses the same format as bash termination on signal termination exit code is 128+n. -f, --flush Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation: one person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo', and another can supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'. --force Allow the default output destination, i.e. the typescript file, to be a hard or sym- bolic link. The command will follow a symbolic link. -q, --quiet Be quiet. -t, --timing[=file] Output timing data to standard error, or to file when given. This data contains two fields, separated by a space. The first field indicates how much time elapsed since the previous output. The second field indicates how many characters were output this time. This information can be used to replay typescripts with realistic typing and output delays. -V, --version Output version information and exit. -h, --help Output help and exit. The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is not set) for the C-shell, csh(1)). Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the typescript file. Script works best with commands that do not manipulate the screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal. ENVIRONMENT The following environment variable is utilized by script: SHELL If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will be that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed. (Most shells set this variable automati- cally). SEE ALSO csh(1) (for the history mechanism), scriptreplay(1). HISTORY The script command appeared in 3.0BSD. BUGS Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects. AVAILABILITY The script command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.ker- nel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux February 2011 util-linux The priority of the bsdutils package is listed as "required" so it should already be installed. |
I'm running Debian Wheezy with gnome and xfce installed. If I wanted to replace the xfce panel with cairo-dock, how is it done?

FYI: From man deluser: By default, deluser will remove the user without removing the home directory, the mail spool or any other files on the system owned by the user. Removing the home directory and mail spool can be achieved using the --remove-home option. The --remove-all-files option removes all files on the system owned by the user. Note that if you activate both options --remove- home will have no effect because all files including the home directory and mail spool are already covered by the --remove-all- files option. |
hello everybody, is it possible to save a file into memory, not to hard disk? in a way that one shell script can save it and another (conky) can read it, without having to read from the hd every second? now i think of it, the batch script itself would have to be in ram, too. i think i read somewhere that i can tell linux to load a folder with its contents into memory. sth like that. purpose is to reduce disk reads/writes. thanks! | Run mount and see if any location is mounted as type "tempfs" with a device of "none". Tempfs is a RAM filesystem. Also, most systems let you use /dev/shm (shared memory) in this way. |
Dear all, I've been a happy Debian user for a year and a half now and it's been smooth sailing most of the time. Therefor I'm new to this forum: I hope this is the right place to post the following problem. As of last Friday I've lost normal access to my Debian Squeeze installation. Somewhere during booting the system hangs and all I get is a black screen. The machine doesn't shut down completely. After getting to the black screen there's still some stuff going on on the hard disk for a while (judging by the flickering indicator) and then the led on my mouse starts to slowly pulsate so it looks like the computer is hibernating. Only there's no way to wake it up. The same happens wether I try a normal boot or a recovery boot and then continue from there. What I can do is login as root in a command line environment. In /var/log/syslog there is an error message that says: kernel: PM: Error -22 checking image file kernel: PM: Resume from disk failed After that, I get another 23 screens of messages. The last lines of the penultimate screen read: shutdown: shutting down for system halt init: Switching to runlevel: 0 And the last screen is a bunch of services exiting and shutting down (ntpd, avahi-daemon, mysqld,bluetoothd, Networkmanager). The error message seems to indicate that the machine tries to come out of some non-existing hibernation. Therefor someone suggested I try to add the noresume option to grub at start up: I added it to the end of the GRUB line that says linux /vm-linuz-something but no result. I also ran some diagnostic program from a System Rescue CD that took about 3 hours to decide that all cylinders are ok. That at least sounds good to me. Then I ran fsck on /home, /boot and / (different partitions). That freed some inodes on / . I don't remember the exact words but it sounded like a good idea that might solve my problem. Unfortunately I still get a black screen. Seems like some configuration file got messed up somehow and I'm pretty sure I didn't fiddle with those any time recently. Can something like that happen during a package update? (I shouldn't think so but nothing else funny happened last Thursday. Just a regular day: a few package updates like so many days and as far as I know a normal shutdown.) Sounds like reinstalling is going to be my only option. Probably would've done that already but with Debian being so reliable it's been a while since I needed to. Anyway I'd still like to figure out where exactly the command to go to runlevel 0 comes from. I checked grub.cfg and files in init.d and none of those were altered recently, nor did they look funny. Default runlevel is set to 2 so why does the box suddenly decide to go to runlevel 0? If someone can tell me where else to look for clues, I'd be very grateful. G. | Looks like the same issue as detailed in debian-squeeze-resume-from-disk-error and the solution proposed might be found here. |
Hi all, Is there a way to see a huge text file without everything go haywire ?

Hello Debian world, I have two questions: 1. Is it OK if I remove sudo privileges from S.M.A.R.T for me the user? Meaning are there any security risks? 2. How can I get only the temperature information from this: ' 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0032 065 065 000 Old_age Always - 35 '? The command I used to get this information is: ' sudo smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sda | grep -i temperature ' At the end, the number 35 is my temperature (in Celsius obviously) and I want to only be able to show this in Conky. The reason I want to use S.M.A.R.T is because hddtemp doesn't have the information for the temperature sensor in my SDD. Now you may ask how I know I have a temperature sensor in the first place? I have a second hard drive that I installed Linux Mint Nadia on (SSD has Debian Wheezy installed on it) just for simplicity sake for Steam at the moment, and under the Disks program it shows the temperature for my SDD. Thanks in advance. | Far be it for me to discourage you, but it seems like you're expending a lot of effort trying to monitor something that most likely doesn't actually predict drive failure. Experimental results in the research literature are at best inconclusive regarding a relationship between temperature and drive failure. And these existing results are for mechanical drives, which are presumably more likely to be sensitive to persistent small temperature variations than SSDs. Anyway, if you're determined to follow this path, check out man smartd |

I have a new install of 6.0.7 on a sata drive.

Hi all, After using testing (now Wheezy) for almost a year and breaking my machine (latest nvidia broken packages), I went back to vanilla Squeeze (after updates, now at 6.02). Nothing from outside the stable repos; not even the nvidia driver (kept it at default nv and nouveau). Repo "deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main non-free" enabled. It seems flash is not working with iceweasel; I either have a message which says "Cannot play media: you do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version," with a link to Adobe's site, of media appears in broken pieces. In order to keep my system "clean," I haven't downloaded anything from Adobe, and a search on this forum suggested installing flashplugin-nonfree or flashplayer-mozilla.

Hey gang, as the title says, my system got wrecked by the latest upgrade. I have sid enabled in my sources.list and am running Debian on a HP Pavilion g6.

I installed iptables-persistent and set up a couple of basic rules for my system. I then saved those rules using iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules I ran update-rc.d iptables-persistent defaults so that iptables-persistent would run during start up. When I look at /etc/rcS.d, I can see that the link to /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent does in fact exist. However, when I reboot the computer, the iptables rules are not being restored. I know this because after the reboot is complete, if I log on as root and type iptables -L -n, the list is empty and all chains are set to ACCEPT. I know everything is (otherwise) working because if I simply type /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent start, then the rules are loaded. (Another quick check with iptables -L -n confirms that the rules are loaded.) I know the iptables-persistent script is working and is reading the rules from /etc/iptables/rules because it works every time I type it manually after the reboot.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to find out how to be able to configure my router to foward certain port on my PC automatically. I understood that my PC should use the UPnP protocol to do so. And I found a graphical application to open certain port on the router (i.e. "upnp-router-control" among the Debian's packages). My problem is to "Deamonize" this protocol which would require to be able to use a simple bash command. Do you know how to "UPnP" my router from a s bash command program? Thanks | Assuming you have an otherwise mainstream home router, port forwarding is easily accomplished through the routers firmware-based "control panel." UPnP is not required. Each router is different, so you'd have to read the manual for your particular make/model, but I've never owned a router whose manual wasn't available on the interwebz. Once port forwarding is set up on the router, you don't need to set it up again. Once is enough. |

Dear All, I installed Debian Squeeze (6.0.6) both on my laptop and on my desktop. On the laptop everything works well. On the Desktop, on the contrary, I had some problems. It seems that something is missing. For example, the menu system/preferences and system/administration are very short and many items are missing. Which are the missing packages? Thanks a lot, Samuele PS: I added manually the items keyboard, monitor and mouse, but this is not the best solution. | What desktop environment are you using? Which install iso did you use?

Hi everybody! I've got a problem with my wheezy-amd64 on my desktop.

files on apache2 server visible internally but not via external ip:port Good afternoon, I am running CrunchBang Statler (based on Debian Squeeze/Stable) on an HP Compaq dx2200 Microtower with a 250GB internal hard drive. This machine is connected to the internet via an ethernet connection, which in turn is supplied from the back of a Linksys WRT300N router with stock firmware. I am trying to coax my apache2 server into running on port 4080. I have forwarded Externet port 4080 and Internet Port 80 to 192.168.1.103, the server-machine's internal IP address. With this setup, I am able to see the server's index.html file by the following methods of access: localhost:4080 127.0.0.1:4080 192.168.1.103:4080 However, attempting to access the index.html file by entering my proper external IP address followed by the port number, the connection times out. canyouseeme.org shows port 4080 as timing out as well. I'd love to have this server up and running sometime today or tommorrow, or worst-case-scenario by Tuesday if at all possible. Any suggestions? | Are you trying to access the server (using public IP) from within the LAN or from another remote location? If you're trying to access from within the LAN, and it's not working, you're router may have "NAT loopback" disabled or does not support it. Though even if the router does not support NAT loopback through its web interface, you can still add the necessary iptables rules provided the router is running linux and you have ssh/telnet access to it. |

I am running squeeze, but need this package to compile Rawtherapee (a raw photo editor). It exits in wheezy, and to install it, there are many dependencies upon dependencies to download and install, that would make this oldboy's head spin. Is there any quick way of doing it?

Good day, every one: Recently I disable HAL and thunar and use udisks instead. And I found I can not use udisk mount my usb optical disc driver. This is how I type: udisks --mount /dev/sr0 --mount-options ro --mount-fstype iso9660 And I got: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I also tried using mount, and it *does* work: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/ -t iso9660 mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only I've been searching it over google for hours and still not get an answer, could someone help me this? thanks. | think i had this same issue before, was copy protected disk... make sure you have the css package installed |
While I was crawling on Google some time ago, I came across a few forum threads stating that X should not be installed on servers. (unfortunately I can't provide a link to it, http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87361). Straight to the point, what I'm asking is if it's a bad idea to run X on a server, and if so why? Is it just unnecessary, or is there any danger associated with doing so? | ChipOManiac wrote:Straight to the point, what I'm asking is if it's a bad idea to run X on a server, and if so why? Is it just unnecessary, or is there any danger associated with doing so? X takes some extra resources, and it adds another attack vector. If you can avoid a GUI, it is best to do so. If you can't avoid it, you'll probably be fine as well. This is the risk of using a GUI: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7769860706.html |
I've installed Debian 7 beta 4 this morning and it's working fine. Got the printer and multimedia all set up. Will I be able to upgrade to the Debian 7 final whenever its released by continuing to run #apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? Or is there a better command? Thanks. | vinoman wrote: Will I be able to upgrade to the Debian 7 final whenever its released by continuing to run #apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? . yes |
On my Debian system, waking up from suspend to RAM is very slow (around 10-15 seconds). For comparison, my old (much less powerful) laptop could wake up in around 5-8 seconds while this laptop on Windows resumes in 2 seconds. On the screen, I see an error message "ata1 comreset failed ( errno =-16)". Any ideas what's causing this? I can boot up Debian faster than I can resume it from a suspend. Thanks | Which version of Debian you are using? Is pm-utils package installed? Also double check the cable of your hard drive is firmly connected. |
Acquire::Languages "none"; in apt.conf is what did it. I assumed it would revert to en_US, but apparently not. And it took a while to take effect, so I didn't realise that's what had done it. Clue was realising they were missing in 'aptitude show' as well... ----- Oh dear, I broke aptitude... I have no idea how. If I open the ncurses interface it no longer gives me the long package descriptions in the bottom 'information panel'. Hitting 'i' to cycle through the available screens goes between homepage / installed state / dependency chain. The full package description should appear just above the homepage, but I can't see any way to get it back. 'a' and 'z' to scroll don't do anything. Doesn't seem to matter which view mode I switch to (though note that it segfaults if you try to open a new categorical view with multiarch installed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686124 ) The problem persists between different users, and I've tried purging and reinstalling, and deleting ~/.aptitude Any other suggestions? | edit: nevermind, I now see it's "Solved" The full descriptions come from the i18n/Translation-xx files, like the http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/whee ... ion-en.bz2 file.

Hello it's my first post here. I'm not an experienced user and my english is pretty poor - so please be nice Anyway I've got encrypted wheezy (encrypted lvm) and I can't change grub2 splashscreen. The method I'm using is : to put image .jpg to /boot/grub (which of course is on the unencrypted primary partition) and run update-grub. I'm sure that encryption is the reason of this problem, because i've tried it (the same method and the same .jpg file) on others unencrypted debians and it worked just fine there no matter if it was completely clean installation without xorg or regular gnome one. To the contrary on every encrypted debian installation (clean or with graphical environment) grub splash screen just wasn't working. | Yes, I think you're right that it's because of the encryption. There are files in the encrypted partition that grub needs but can't read until after the encrypted volume is opened and mounted. The way around it is to put the files in /boot. I've got /boot/splash/fonts/unicode.pf2 and /boot/splash/images/splash.png. Copy the first file from /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2, and the second is whatever splash image you want to use. Then run update-grub. I think that's all it takes, but I don't really remember how I got it to work. Last time I did this, it didn't work at first, but then after a few reboots, it started working. I notice that I also have the same splash.png in /boot/grub, where you'd normally put it, but I don't think it needs to be there. |
For testing purposes I am currently dual-booting Win7 and Debian Wheezy. The bootable system disk contains the primary partitions for both OS's and is a single SSD. I have have a non-system disk which is an intel fake-raid 5 consisting of 4 SATA drives. This question is not regarding the merits of linux software raid or opinions of fake-raid. Eventually I will be migrating all my data to a true linux software raid configuration. Code: Select all# mdadm --detail /dev/md126 /dev/md126: Container : /dev/md/imsm0, member 0 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 1875388416 (1788.51 GiB 1920.40 GB) Used Dev Size : 625129600 (596.17 GiB 640.13 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 State : clean Active Devices : 4 Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-asymmetric Chunk Size : 64K UUID : 9352732b:f1efcd90:e391ad3e:10ee61db Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 3 8 16 0 active sync /dev/sdb 2 8 32 1 active sync /dev/sdc 1 8 48 2 active sync /dev/sdd 0 8 64 3 active sync /dev/sde The raid device contains a single GTP primary partition (/dev/md126p1). This primary partition is a truecrypt volume and is formatted NTFS. When I mount the volume with truecrypt under gnome shell it mounts, but after 2-3 seconds the kernel crashes. If I'm quick I can open the newly mounted volume in nautilus and see the exepected folder structure. It is definitely mounting the correct partition/volume. If I log out of gnome and drop to tty1 I can mount the truecrypt volume successfully with Code: Select alltruecrypt --mount /dev/md126p1 /media/Data --filesystem=ntfs-3g In this scenario (tty) the kernel does not crash and I can manipulate files at will. However, at any time after I've mounted from tty I decide to log in to gnome, the kernel panics again within seconds. EDIT/UPDATE: The kernel eventually crashes under the tty as well. Also replicated in single-user mode so the desktop environment can be ruled out. Looking more like a kernel bug now. Additionally, I have two individual sata disks (for backup) which I connect via USB. They are in the same disk layout configuration as the RAID volume (single GPT partition, primary partition is truecrypt volume). Mounting these via the truecrypt GUI in gnome shell works as expected. It seems the problem I'm seeing is isolated to the RAID configuration. I've previously set up other mdadm-managed linux software raids and I'm pretty sure that the way the kernel/udev is creating/mounting my existing fake raid at boot is not desireable. I have no /dev/md0 and /dev/md12x devices are not supposed to be used as mount points AFAIK. First, I'm having trouble deciding if this is a debian bug, a gnome bug, or a kernel bug. Or, and most likely, am I doing or not doing something with the RAID configuration properly? If it's a debian bug I would need to install, say, arch linux with gnome shell and see if I can replicate. This is one time-consuming troubleshooting step! If it's a kernel bug I'll file it, but want to make sure it's the cause of this problem before I do so. If it's user-error, please help! Any suggestions? | No takers, eh? Oh well, I did manage to work around this issue. The kernel was auto-mounting some funky stuff raid-wise at boot time, so I simply needed to stop those raid instances and create a proper one. Code: Select allmdadm --stop --scan mdadm --assemble --scan Now I'm able to mount my truecrypt volume on the fakeraid device without issue using a startup script. |
