Hi, I have installed Debian 6.0.3 Standard so have no GUI. Does anyone know how I can change the screen resolution? I can change the Grub resolution but when Debian begins to boot it goes back to 640x480. I have an ATI Radeon 200m card. Thanks, Alex | http://wiki.debian.org/GrubTransition Go to the section named "Grub 2 and the VGA parameter" |
Hello, I've noticed that when playing stereo audio on my 5.1 sound system and attempting to adjust the fader slightly to the back so that the the front channels don't sound as overpowering results in the rear channels losing sound as the front channels do as well. In other words, adjusting the fader all the way to the rear channels results in no sound being produced at all but leaving the fader in the middle position results in the sound being played on all speakers; rear speakers lose sound when the fader is moved all the way to the front, as expected. Strange behaviour. I should also say that when playing 5.1 audio (say a film), the fader behaves as expected. What do I need to do to make it so stereo sound (or anything not 5.1) is converted and handled as if it were 5.1? Many thanks for your time. PS: Using XFCE4 and Debian Testing. | I see there have - to date - been no replies to your post. I'd just like to mention that I don't have any problems on my 5.1 sound system with OSS4 in Debian Stable. I don't use ALSA and or PulseAudio now at all because I much prefer the sound quality of OSS4 and am able to control the sound from each speaker perfectly. So you may like to look at this option too. |
Hey, I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 and have problem with provided GS version (9.01) impossible to resolve, so I thought to downgrade to latest stable as in Debian stable (8.71) I removed GS 9.01 (and bunch of other packages on the way) then downloaded this files from debian FTP: Code: Select allghostscript_8.71~dfsg2-9_i386.deb ghostscript-cups_8.71~dfsg2-9_i386.deb ghostscript-doc_8.71~dfsg2-9_all.deb ghostscript-x_8.71~dfsg2-9_i386.deb libgs8_8.71~dfsg2-9_i386.deb Everything is fine and tested it's working perfectly unlike previous version only that I have a problem installing `ghostscript-x` which breaks `gsfonts` on which other packages are dependant (like abiword, gnumeric...). Here is status: Error: Breaks existing package 'gsfonts' that conflict: 'gs'. But the '/home/zetah/Downloads/backup/gs/ghostscript-x_8.71~dfsg2-9_i386.deb' provides it via: 'gs,gs-afpl,gs-esp,gs-gpl' Any advice what should I do? | Now, I might be getting this wrong but to me it sounds like you're trying to install Debian packages on a Ubuntu system. If that's the case forget about it, Debian and Ubuntu are not 100% compatible package-wise and mixing packages like that is bound to cause problems eventually. Now, if this is not the case, you need to explain yourself a bit more clearly. |
Hello all I've figured out wath is happening on my iceweasel. Without any apparent reason, but i can have forgot, iceweasel begin to have some difficultiés with youtube. 1. I cant login, when i click login, it's just load an "Redirecting" page and i'm on youtube home again, without being logged again. 2. 90% of videos not working, saying : "an error occured, please try again later". Some videos works, if a video works, it will never bug. There was no problem or bug in youtube with epiphany. So... I guessed it was an cookie/cache/history problem. I've searched a bit and seen there was an exeception rule for blocking youtube cookie. But i was not in "use custom settings" but in "always remember". I deleted there rule anyway, and so on, it work now like a charm. If it can help anyone... PS : i was writing this topic for help when i found out by myself, so i post it anyway. and sry for english. | I understand what you are saying and thanks for marking this Solved and posting the solution. |
I know this is a point of contention, but I would rather use Firefox and Thunderbird instead of Iceweasle and Icedove. The main reason being that a lot of my favorite addons won't install on Iceweasel because it's based on Firefox 3.5. I know there's the whole FOSS issue because of the artwork, but it's not an issue for me. Is there any way to get this pieces of software on Debian 6.0.3? Thanks for the help. | http://mozilla.debian.net/ |
Hi people, My root partition is completly full. I gave to root partition 323MB, I think it's big enough. I'm wondering what is taking so much space in my /. Code: Select all $ df -lh File system Dim.

What may I do? | I would suspect /boot. If you have more than one kernel installed that might do it. run ' du -hx | less ' on / and browse through it to see which directory is hogging the partition. You can also go to /boot and just do ' du -hx ' . EDIT: Also check /lib, /lib32 and /lib64 if you have them. |
Unable to boot: ext4 partition recognized incorrectly as silicon_medley_raid_member This is in Ubuntu 10.10, but I figured debian folk might know what is going on. Similar to the problem in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1711929 But for ext4. As there, I can mount in live CD (of Ubuntu 11.04) using mount -t ext4 Otherwise it gives type as "silicon_medley_raid_member" Happened out of the blue. blkid -p on device gives /dev/sda5: VERSION="26161.27241" TYPE="silicon_medley_raid_member" USAGE="raid" wipefs on the device returned blank (no output). But gparted on the 11.04 recognizes it properly as ext4. I tried dmraid -E -r on device, but it gave "no raid disks and with names: "/dev/sda5" Here is the new twist: I also booted using a Scientific Linux 6.0 live dvd (and also Ubuntu 11.10 live cd), and there the filesystem is recognized correctly!!!!!!! blkid -p there gave: /dev/sda5: UUID="xxxxxxxx" VERSION="1.0" TYPE="ext4" USAGE="filesystem" wipefs on device gave offset xxxx type: ext4 [filesystem] UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In the SL6 environment, the filesystem mounts without being forced to ext4. Any advice on how to fix this? | And if this cant be easily corrected, I was thinking of copying over the files in the root partition to an external drive, reformatting and copying the files back. Will this work (instead of reinstalling)? |
I just made a clean install of Debian Squeeze with Xfce desktop environment. But somehow after a few days the panel has gone missing. I try to add or create the panel again but nothing happen. I don't believe I have change anything as it is a clean install. I may have install certain software but that was all through the software center. Please advise on how to bring back the panel. Thanks to anyone who respond. | The same thing happened to me. The solution I used was to launch the panel in the terminal with: Code: Select allxfce4-panel Then check Xfce 4 Settings Manager/Session and Startup/Application Autostart. Panel should now be listed.

I am translating this Debian wiki page for prosody: http://wiki.debian.org/fr/InstallingProsody as i need the translation of prosody (which means that i don't know moin-moin and its syntax, i need the translation, not to learn moin-moin. I don't want to learn to fish in that ocean, all i want is a fish). How can i easily create the new page for the English version?

I should be done this evening (first have to eat... then to the last few sentences). Thanks. | I'm not sure I follow what you're asking - do you mean where should you put a new English page for Installing Prosidy? That has as much to do with the Debian wiki's structure as it does to do with MoinMoin. It seems to me it should be here; http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingProsody Just click the 'create page' button, and presumably take the syntax from similar pages or any guides you may find.

Well apparantly the day was a little weird Of course I am a little scared that I lost my data I was running Squeeze with KDE today, and after a long time of looking through the internet, I (as normal) started BleachBit to clean up my system a little bit. Somewhere along the start BleachBit crashed and I proceeded to try and run it again, to no avail. I then tried to open up konqueror and got an error saying that "konqueror.rc" had become read-only(?), konqueror nevertheless started up, but i couldn't access my files from it (a quick "ls" showed my home folder though, with nothing visibly wrong). I tried to log out and login again, but was transferred to tty1 . Now officially decomissioned, I restarted and was asked to do an fsck manually. The wierd thing about the fsck was that it gave screenfull after screenfull of "Multiply-claimed" blocks for a few seconds and would stop after a while. I am now in the process of another fsck. I'll see how this works at first. In the meantime if anyone knows, what did I do? And sorry for the skimpy details if there are any, I'm a little edgy. | Well apparently after a day of working with fsck and Kubuntu live CDs (stop complaining, it's the only live I had).

have googled many variations of the question but all come back with the 'ubuntu kernel mainline'.

The easiest way to get a newer kernel is to compile it yourself. Which is not as hard as it seems but can be a challenge to do effectively. |
Hello! I got a new system since my old work station was getting old (7 years). I got a intel i5 2500K with an Asus p8h61-m motherboard and a ssd to really get me a leap into the future.

Hi: I'm thinking of putting a fresh install of Debian on my laptop, for a number of reasons. It occurs to me that I'd like to partition it out so that I can run Windows on another partition (mainly so I can play games), but I don't have any Windoze CDs. What I do have, however, is the backup DVDs I made when I bought the laptop (was packaged with Windows 7). The process, at the time, claimed I can use the DVDs to restore the laptop back to factory settings, which presumably means I can put Windows 7 back onto it. My questions: 1) Does it matter that the whole laptop is now one big linux partition, or will the recovery DVDs simply replace everything? 2) Once I've done that, is it possible to boot up the laptop into Windows 7, then create a new partition on the hard drive to load Linux onto for a dual-boot setup? 3) If so, what't the best tool/method for doing this? There are a lot of guides out there on different ways to make partitions. Is there a preferred way to do it? | I would restore your Win backup, give it a good clean & defrag, then pop in the debian installer - it will resize your Win partition for you during the install process. |

After a recent update (must be a few days ago), sun-java6-jdk was marked as "obsolute" in my wheezy amd64 system. I did the mistake to delete it, thinking that the package was renamed or something.

hi guys i want to know how to install abaqusV6.10 in linux can anyone guide me on this. | Hi. According to http://www.simulia.com/support/v610/v610_sysRqmts.html Simulia only supports it on SuSE and RHEL. You may be breaking new ground by installing on Debian. They seem to require licenses, so you'll probably need advice from someone who has the code and has installed it before on Debian. If you have a support license, perhaps you can get some help from the vendor. I see they also want you to have Intel compilers. The Intel Fortran I use for personal research is ifort (IFORT) 11.1 20090827 and it is very, very good. I recall a much, much earlier version of that code on Cray boxes (in a much earlier life). If memory serves, Cray did a lot of work on the code because it would help sell machines. I hope someone will stop by here with better help for you.

I was always under the impression that debian creates a ramdisk automatically, because I see it being created when grub is running. So, does it stay after squeeze boots? I need to use a ram disk for my tmp files, so I do not write to my SSD with tmp files, and I have this in my /etc/fstab: Code: Select alltmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777 0 0 I suspect it is not working without creating a ramdisk. Also, there is a /tmp in my file system, and there are lots directories and files. One of them is Cache which has a lot of small files in it. The SSD guides advises to put the tmp files in ram, hence the statement in my fstab above. I am really at a loss here. Please ehlp. TIA | You better read what a ramdisk is. You should also read the process of Linux booting and loading and you will understand your question. My answer is, I do not think you need one. |

Ok, this has me stumped. What could cause the processor speed reported by /proc/cpuinfo to be massively wrong? (As in: reporting 800 MHz on a 3.1 GHz desktop machine.) My best guess at good Google search terms (cpuinfo speed (error OR misreport)) yielded nothing obviously relevant in the first 30 or so hits.

Hi, I'm using the latest stable releases of Iceweasel and Icedove from the mozilla.debian.net repository on a Debian Squeeze box.

I'm writing from Windows, as using Internet on Ubuntu (same driver as Debian - zd1211rw) is frustrating right now.

Hello all, I am running squeeze on a dell inspiron 1525 with the dwm window manager, a quite minimal setup. I was wondering, what is the easiest way to connect my laptop to a TV or a projector.

Please tell me if you need some more information, I know nothing about these things, and I never needed to connect my laptop to a TV/monitor until very recently.. Is it a window manager thing? Or if it is supported by the hardware it can be done no matter the window manager/desktop environment? What tools do I need? Again, please tell me if you need more info about the hardware or anything else.. Thanks a lot in advance..

I use my netbook for business. I have to connect it to a projector a lot of times. For me the simpliest way is to use the xrandr tool in the terminal!Just type xrandr in you favourite terminal and press enter. It gives you all informations you need about all connectet screens. On Linux new Screens are not switched on automatically. You have to tell the kernel how he should manage it. This order is very simple to run a secound screen: Code: Select allxrandr --output VGA --auto You should type the screen you want to manage after --output ! For a beamer it is nice to get the same desktop on both screens. Code: Select allxrandr --output VGA --same-as LVDS This will copy the LVDS-screen to VGA! To get a multi-desktop-screen (the maximum range is provided by your graphic-card) just use this: Code: Select allxrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS Do you see how easy it is? Look at the manual-page of the xrandr-tool. I heard that there is also a graphical tool, but I never tested it. I think it is easy enough in the terminal. Your small font-size is maybe caused by a too big resolution. You change the resolution by: Code: Select allxrandr --output VGA --mode 640x480 The available resolutions are shown by xrandr without options. For TV you should use very small resolutions because of the high distance. At least I should also say, that xrandr has some mistakes! It is really opensource, so the most closed-graphic-drivers are not supported. Your 3D-diver maybe will get disabled while using xrandr. You should check this! But a advantage is, that your xorg.conf is not attached. You don't have to make any changes there. I hope I could help you! wkr iorek |

Hi there, I'm trying to create a debian package for a python application. The application is composed of 3 python scripts, one of those is the main. I decided my package install all scripts in a folder, let's say /pentest/progName/. It all works, and when I install the package I'm able to launch the program from the folder /pentest/progName/. Now I want my installation package to create a link from /pentest/progName/prog.py to /usr/bin/prog, but i don't know what configuration file of building directory I have to modify. I think it should launch a "ln -s /pentest/progName/prog.py /usr/bin/prog" after installing. May you help me?

I removed Totem and installed MPlayer and Gnome-MPlayer interface and everything is perfect in regard of playing video files Now I wanted to install other package and it again needs this gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package: Depends: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed So I try to install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg with Synaptic: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec52 (<5:0) but 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.2 is to be installed or libavcodec-extra-52 (<5:0) but it is not installable What now? | Do you only have Debian repositories installed or other 3rd software as well?

Another report about this problem on LinuxQuestions.org:laptop freeze in debian,ubuntu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tried Squeeze and Ubuntu 11.04, all freeze when it's idle for whole night. Nothing can't move including the keybord or mouce, only way is push down the power button to reboot. My thinkpad SL510 is double-booted OS installed, Windows XP works well, so no problem of the hardware. Must be something wrong inside Debian!!! especially for laptop.

My display manager is gdm3... and it mostly works okay. Except that during system shutdown, when there is an annoying bell noise, that I have worked out it comes from gdm3.

Hello For the second time I tried updating my Debian installation to latest testing. Prior to doing this I was using only the stable repositories. After enabling the testing repositories, i did an update, upgrade and dist-upgrade using apt. At which point a newer kernel 3.0.0.1 is installed, alongside gcc-4.6. After doing this, I could not get into X. My old Nvidia 260.XXX drivers do not work. The newest 280.XXX drivers compile ( so do the 270.XXX ) but after rebooting, the computer refuses to go into X. So I installed xserver-xorg-video-nvidia, and I did get into X successfuly. However this is a big problem for me because most of my work uses CUDA. And as far as I know, I cannot use CUDA with Debian's nvidia drivers. Therefore I tried re-installing NVIDIA's 260, 270 and 280 drivers on top of Debian nvidia drivers, and they all exit right after the first screen with a SIGTERM. So now, not only am I stuck with Debian's drivers, but It has become impossible to install NVIDIA's drivers. Can anyone please help, or point me to the right direction. I like the new KDE, the new Kdevelop, all that upgraded stuff, but if I cannot get CUDA working, its all useless to me. Thank you in advance. | Have you tried sgfxi ? |
I downloaded the latest 64-bit Linux Flash Player 11 tarball, then tar zxvf install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so sudo cp -r usr /usr , restarted Iceweasel. Every Flash applet just draws nothing to the screen (making the previous page appear in that area of the buffer.) Any ideas?

Ok, here we go... I have a Dell laptop that is dual boot, Debian and Windows 7 All was going well, until I get an error at boot "autochk program not found - AUTOCHECK skipped..." Yeah from the Windows 7 system Tech support says to fix it I need to do a system restore, no a big deal, since I barely use Windows 7 BUT! I am concerned they restore operation may force a repartition of the system... which would wipe out my Debian system, so I want to make sure I have enough of my system backed up to be able to restore easily... My backup saves the following directories: /etc /root /home /var/mail /usr/local My question is: If I load my debian system from scratch and then restore those directories will my system in in the state it is now? I am mostly concerned about the installed packages, etc. Should I add any other directories to that list? tom | I am concerned they [sic] restore operation may force a repartition of the system Don't think so.... |
I am running wheezy. There are updates at least once a day. If I ignore them, and update one month later, will I get the cumulative update, i.e., if there are 3 updates to the same package within this period of time, will I automatically get the 3rd update or will I be going through all 3 updates. TIA | No, they are not cumulative. You will only get the most recent update. Phil |
So I have been running squeeze the last few months and using the proprietary drivers listed in the debian wikis for my ATI Radeon HD5750 located at: http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary The above works fine in 9 out of 10 cases, some games were crashing upon exit, but I was (and I may be wrong) thinking that driver may be somewhat outdated, would using the official ATI driver for linux listed on ATI's website be a better choice? I did some testing myself and noticed I got some reverse effects (didnt do a proper driver cleaning) some games worked, while others just crashed, where before they worked fine. Thanks again! | I don't recommend proprietary drivers; they are too much trouble. |
During updates to Testing a while back Iceweasel lost most of the usual icons in the navigation toolbar. Now it has just forward and back arrows, but not the usual refresh button and other icons. Nor are they found under view > toolbars > customize. Anyone know what is going on here and how to fix it? | Point 1: When asking a question like this, it's very helpful to say which version of a program is giving you a problem--especially these days, when FF/IW versions are propagating like rabbits. Point 2: What you're describing sounds like the default appearance of the "improved" toolbar introduced in FF4 (I think... it's definitely present in V5 et seq.) Point 3: Are you 100% sure that the stop/reload "buttons" (which are now in fact a single button) don't appear in Customization mode? By default, they can be found perched in between the URL bar and Search bar, like so: The buttons can of course be moved, as can the Home button, which you can see is now placed by default to the right of the Search bar. |
Hi all, How do I replace wallpaper in grub2 . By wallpaper I mean the background in grub2. I looked if the wiki had any directions but unfortunately wiki.debian.org is silent on this. The only documentation I could find was at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ... ash_Images and especially the later Natty Narwhal 11.04 and later bit.

I thought I knew at least a bit about shell scripts, but I'm stumped by this simple one. I'm having problems reliably logging-in to my domain hosting service's FTP server. It works 95% of the time, but fails briefly several times a day. Despite repeated pleas for them to check their server, they keep telling me to reconfigure my FTP client or disable my firewall. This, after I told them the problem exists simultaneously with an FTP client on a Windows box and from the console prompt a Linux box. When the problem goes away, it goes away on both machines. I want to write a simple script to run under cron to login to the FTP server, then disconnect, and log the session to a file for later review. My .netrc file contains this information for FTP, and has permissions set to 600: ---------- machine ftp.thehost.com login myuserid password mypswd macdef init quit #newline terminates macro ---------- If I type ftp ftp.thehost.com at the console prompt, FTP logs me in, then quits, as the macro specifies. This works perfectly every time. But if I put the same command in a shell script, the FTP program gives me an error message: Name or service not known. My shell script originally looked like this: ---------- #/bin/bash date ftp ftp.thehost.com ---------- and I got the error message. So I changed it to: ---------- #/bin/bash date host=ftp.thehost.com ftp $host ---------- which produces the same error. Also, the date command doesn't work. Instead, I get a command not found2: date error: ---------- mike@linux:~$ ./ftp-script : command not found2: date : Name or service not knownftp> quit (I entered "quit" from the console) mike@linux:~$ ---------- Can someone help me out? Clearly I don't know enough about shell scripts. Thanks in advance. --- Mike | Never mind. The first line of my shell script was missing the exclamation point: #!/bin/bash Duh! It now works as expected. --- Mike |

So I've had this problem for a while. I've already asked about it here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/f ... read,31104 So I decided to test whether curl was compiled with OpenSSL support like https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/f ... t,0#150072 implies might be the problem.

Hello, I've been using Debian Squeeze for four days and I came across a couple of problems.I handled some of them pretty quickly but there are 2 things that bother me. Here they are: 1. Iceweasel - since flash is installed (by synaptic, version 1:2.8.2) sometimes I enter the page that contains a lot of flash stuff (videos, animations, for example Youtube) and I start watching some of the clips, the cpu usage reaches about 120% (I have dual core and I checked it by typing "top" into terminal.The firefox.bin is the process that I'm talking about).Everything is working really slow until I close the page with flash. I don't know if the soulution would be to change the browser (firefox) or version of the flash player or something else.Any suggestions appreciated 2. Voice recording - I have inbuilt camera+mic in my notebook. I want to record some voice using Voice Recorder. In Alsa mixer there are 3 items displayed in recording tab: capture, capture1 and digital. No mater if I activate only one or all of them, when I open Alsa again, all are disabled. By saying activate/disable I mean pressing a little button which popup is saying: Toggle audio recording from... Obviously the sound is not recorded. Any help for this? Theese are my two (for now only 2 problems with this system and would be great to have it repaired. I don't know much Debian, I'm still getting used to it and now I'm asking for a little help.

After installing Debian Squeeze or testing on my new laptop, an Acer Extensa 5235, I noticed that the screen was unusually bright. I tried to adjust brightness with the key FN+Arrow keys but it didn't work. Not knowing when the screen brightness problem will be fixed, I found a simple temporary solution which I suppose will work on other Acer laptops. [EDIT 15 MAY 2010: Was able to remove the line because Squeeze update has fixed this problem. However, the line may come in handy.] Using the following command in the root terminal: Code: Select allnano /etc/default/grub Go down eight lines to where it says: Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" and change it so that it looks like this: Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi='Linux'" I then ran the update-grub command from the root terminal to make the changes permanent. But before editing the file as above, you may wish to check whether appending the above code works. Just reboot your computer and when the grub screen appears, edit the grub line and append "acpi_osi='Linux'" (including the quotation marks). My /etc/default/grub file now looks like this: Code: Select all# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi='Linux'" # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) #GRUB_TERMINAL=console # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true | it is never too late to say THANKS !! it works !!

Hi, I am new in Debian. I use debian squeeze. I use ZTE AC682 CDMA modem to connect. it's recognized as /dev/sr0.

Hi, I have now installed Wheezy on two different hard drives and in each case it seems only one CPU of my dual core CPU computer is recognized. System Monitor, Gkrellm and lscpu show just one when prior to the new install the old Wheezy showed both CPU's. I have put the hard drive into two other computers with dual core CPU's and all show just one CPU. Interestingly System Profiler and Benchmark (hardinfo?) > Devices > Processors now show a large amount of processor infomation when with the old Wheezy I would only see both CPU's listed and nothing else. Has anyone else come across this and is there a way to correct it? | Not sure I have the 3.0.0-1 kernel installed and it sees and uses all my cores. Other than that I wouldn't have a clue. P.S.

Hi: I use xarchiver to open all kinds of stuff (like most of you do, I'm guessing), but all of a sudden, it's not working right. I used to be able to right-click on the download, select "Open with xarchiver" and the window opens, and everything's good. Now, when I do that, it hangs. I right-click, click "Open with xarchiver" and... nothing. The window opens, and if I'm lucky, I'll get the frames and stuff, but at the bottom of the screen I see "Opening archive.please wait" and nothing ever happens. In the lower right-hand corner, an icon alternates between a green arrow and a red "x." This was when I tried a tar.bz file. I tried it again with a .zip file, and I get a window. No frames, no buttons, nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Xarchiver, and it still keeps happening. Anyone ever seen this? I tried opening xarchiver through a terminal to see if there are any messages, but there's nothing. EDIT: The .zip archive did finally open and I finally got it extracted. Guess it's a reeeeeeally big archive. Dunno. Think it's working for the tar file too. Sorry, guys. I'd just never seen it take that long to chew on something like that. | I use gnomes File-Roller and sometimes it will take a long time to open an archive too.

Hi all, #I've been planning to build a portable system on my usb hard drive for some time. The aim is to make the system bootable #and usable on both i386 and amd64 PCs. Basically, I will use it on amd64 machines. AFIK, before, there are two basic ways #to do it: 1. Use the i386 port version. 2. Install both and then dual boot. #Recently, I noticed the development in Debian multiarch. I think it would be ideal for my portable system.(Am I right at this #point?) So I installed Wheezy using a multiarch netinst CD on my usb HDD. Now the installation resulted in a seemingly #amd64 system (I did the installation on an amd64 machine and I failed to recognize any differences between this #"multiarch" system and its amd64 brothers installed from the amd64 port.) Ok, after some update of my knowledge base, I realize that I've raised a stupid question. The best for a portable system is of course i386. Now I'm using Squeeze and i686 kernel and it works great! Thanks! | KISS!!!! And I'm not talking about the Rock Group either. What you call multiarch and what Debian multiarch is is two different things. You want to keep this as simple as possible so build an i386 system with a 486 kernel 686 kernel and an amd64 kernel to boot from. |

Can someone please help me to get my extensions back and working? Thank you in advance, | Well, after a day searching and trying i ended up reinstalling apache, php and mysql. this didn't solve the problem however. finally i got it working by installing the package php5-mysql by entering: apt-get install php5-mysql and restarting apache. probably should have done that at first..... problem solved. |
Good evening, On a recently installed Debian, I try to install third-party RPM packages. I proceed in two steps, using alien and dpkg. Despite of having about 4 GB free in /var and 30 GB on the target partition, I get the infamous "no space left on device" error during the dpkg install. I also get a warning that might be problematic in the first step (an uninitialised variable in a perl script apparently).

I have this strange problem with screensaver (in fact i dont know if it is the problem, but it seems to be), i describe the problem next: I have a computer with debian squeeze installed. I use this computer only as a dumb terminal for showing information about companies, this means that it have no mouse nor keyboard connected to it. I configure autologin for a not-provileged user and autorun one app. I disabled the screen saver for obvious reasons. This all works very fine. The problem is that when connect to the computer with ssh and reboot it, 10 minutes after started the monitor goes dark, as if the screensaver gets activated, then i connect a mouse and do some moves the screen goes to the normal functional state, then disconnect the mouse and it never goes dark again, after 1 day even!. When i turn on the computer with mouse and keyboard connected, just 20 seconds after started i disconnect those both, it do the same (after 10 minutes goes dark), but if wait for 1 minute usgin the mouse and keyboard and then disconnect both, the screen goes dark thing never came out. It just appear to happen at some point when the system does not detect any input. I dont know why is this, moreover where to start finding the problem, so that's i came here, hope one of your know about this, i really would not want to install windows. thanks in advance. PD. sorry for my english, try to write the better i could. | You can always uninstall screensaver . |
I normally run Debian Squeeze and it is very good indeed. I decided two days ago to take a look at the state of testing and so installed 64-bit wheezy/KDE doing a net-install. (No, I certainly did not replace squeeze!) Very smooth process in all respects. All seems to be running as it should save for one strange glitch I have never seen before. When I click on Edit/Preferences in iceweasel that program closes immediately. I have completely removed it using synaptic and double-checked to make certain the profile folder was no longer in my home directory. Then I have reinstalled iceweasel. I have done this several times. Same result. There just is no way to access the Preferences menu. Other than for this problem iceweasel seems to run just as it should. Neither Google nor forum search suggests the source of the problem or a solution. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any fix? | I don't know what causes this problem or anything, but one thing you maybe could check is Code: Select all$ iceweasel -preferences which should open the preference dialog. I think I've heard about some similar problems before, but couldn't find anything myself either after some searching here on the board.. |

I have noticed with Linux in general, when an e-mail is sent out using something along the lines of Iceape or Icedove, one of the e-mail headers will display the internal IP address of the computer (as assigned by the router) that sent it. In comparison, Windows (at least Vista) will display the localhost IP 127.0.0.1 instead, which is probably what should be displayed, if an internal IP address is to be displayed at all. Is there a way of forcing 127.0.0.1 to be displayed, instead of the actual internal IP address, or is that just the "nature of the beast" with Linux? Thanks in advance. | epp wrote:Thank you for the replies. I'm not running a mail server, just using Debian on home PC's.

Hello, perhaps somone can help with the following problem : I have installed fresh new Debian 6 by netinstall on a virtual machine (kernel 2.6.32-5-686). So far so good - everything is working. I compiled the kernel 2.6.32 by myself, installed it, made a new initrd and added it to the grub menu. The original kernel starts Runlevel S and afterwards continues to Runlevel 2 - even using my initrd. My compiled kernel stops at Runlevel S. I can give rootpasswd for a single shell and can move further to Runlevel 2 manually by "init 2". As far as i understand, init should read inittab and go to runlevel 2 by itself.

I'm not about to invest that much time editing the files out of the list when I know there has to be an easier way. The second idea I came upon involved using the extglob function. I tried enabling extglob and using it to input a "negative wildcard" into the above method to remove anything .mp3 from the returned list, but extglob didn't play well in that context. I'm not a command line wizard, so it's entirely possible that I'm missing something fairly obvious. In fact, I'm sure I am. So this is a great opportunity for me to learn something new. If anybody knows of a command line way to do this, I'd love to know it. Or, even better, if anybody knows of an app that can do this, even better. I'm not above installing a secondary music player just to import the library once and get my list. Thanks in advance! | Hi, regarding the first approach, doesn't the tree (package tree)command give something the way you want? |
