Hi. Yesterday when i ran an upgrade in squeeze, there was an updated virtualbox package. When the upgrade of virtualbox finished, I got a warning like this one "insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (1) of script `vboxdrv' overwrites defaults (0 1 6)." From my understanding, this is not critical by any means, but I would like to know a little about why this happens and if there's something you should do when it does. By the way, I get virtualbox from the "virtualbox.org" repository for squeeze. Thanks. | Currently the system only has a link to stop the service in /etc/rc1.d/ you can see this by running the following: Code: Select allls -l /etc/rc0.d/|grep vboxdrv ls -l /etc/rc1.d/|grep vboxdrv ls -l /etc/rc6.d/|grep vboxdrv The vboxdrv script in init.d has LSB headers that include: Code: Select all# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 So the LSB headers are telling the system the the default stop levels are 0, 1, and 6. Hence the conflict. It's possible (probable) that the LSB headers were changed by a package upgrade to virtualbox and that at one point they did only call for a stop in run level 1. To fix it you can run the following, as root: Code: Select allinsserv -d /etc/init.d/vboxdrv After running that if you re-issue the ls commands above you'll see that an entry has been created for all 3 runlevels. See man insserv for more. |
I have a canon printer which was working so far. After my latest upgrade its giving errors saying "Printer not connected -- Check your connection" Fortunately I had a backup of my root before the upgrade and one difference I see is that on the new system theres no /dev/usb/lp0 which there is on the old one. So how do I make it? Or should I use the /dev/lp0? Note they are different: Code: Select all$ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Jul 31 21:34 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 Jul 31 21:36 /dev/usb/lp0 So (naturally) when I tried to make a softlink from /dev/usb/lp0 to /dev/lp0 it did not work. | Make the device node. You can't soft link to what doesn't exist, nor can you hard link to such. Do you have MAKEDEV and usb packages installed? |
Hi, I'm going to try to explain in bit more detail what happened to me, in case it might be relevant In a work folder I had around 100 PDF files. Roughly 2/3 were processed yesterday, and today I added others with intent to rename them then copy all together to repository folder for indexing. Before files get in this 'work' folder, they are analysed, corrected, tagged through pdfmarks process and finally renamed here, then ready for indexing. However, I had very unpleasant experience which I'm trying to explain. Files are named by dropping PDF file to launcher which calls this script: Code: Select all#! /bin/bash python /path-to/title.py $1 and if anyone is interested in simple 'title.py' script, I uploaded it here: http://pastebin.com/xRMdTFET I used this procedure couple of times (and on Windows for years). Now I dropped around 20 files to above described launcher, and very bad thing happened - unexpectedly many of files in this 'work' folder, got lost (!?) and I got folder with ~15 PDF file. What could have happened to other files!? I do backups when working with files, but only when I know that something might go wrong, but what could go wrong here? What can I do now to back those files? I don't even have their names. Is there some log file that I can check to see what terrible accident happened? I suspect that problem is that I dropped too many files on launcher. Could that initiate such trashing? All above mentioned is done in Nautilus. I'm on Debian almost 2 weeks, which is first Linux I ever worked in. Thanks for your help | I installed photorec and it recovered 11 files. Better then nothing. Next I installed trial version of R-Studio and will run in right away in next 2 hours in a hope of better results. I also want to know: 1. Is there some way I could find what were the names of the files in the folder where I had this accident? It will help me seek for initial files, which would require some time to get there, but it would be useful nonetheless 2. What was reason for this to happen? Or what 'happened' in the first place? I would like to know this so that I will not experiance it again |
Hello, I have a raid array using mdadm made up of two drives. The drives have two parts, the first for boot information and the 2nd for LVM. Everything but /boot is under LVM management. Originly the two drives were hooked up to a sata controller in a computer with no on-board sata. However I was not able to get the computer to boot to a sata drive off of that controller. So there was an IDE drive with the MBR that loaded grub. Now the computer in that setup seems to have died. So the drives were moved to another computer with an on-board sata controller and now the bootup works as far as getting to the grub menu. However after the grub menu the error message "Cannot find root device" I found the boot info script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/. Please note at the time that was run the computer was running with one drive that has a full Debian install with the raid drive in question mounted and chrooted into. The script was ran from the chroot envirment. Here is the output: http://home.skagitattic.com/gokee2/RESULTS.txt Also my grub.cfg file: http://home.skagitattic.com/gokee2/grub.cfg Any idea what is wrong? Thanks, Gokee2 | If i understood well you had a computer with a normal disk which had the GRUB and the OS and a RAID array from a controller card which was mounted through that disk. (!

If you have, then it's a matter of reinstalling GRUB. I am considering that the third disk is not in your current setup. |

Hi, I am running Squeeze 32-bit fully updated, PAE kernel, ext4 filesystem, with KDE desktop. I'm having problems compressing larger directories on an external HD with a FAT32 filesystem. I have tried compressing to zip, rar, zip/tar (.tar.gz), bz2, lzma, 7z... every combo available from Xarchiver, Ark, as well as the right-click/drop-down menu. I have tried unmounting and remounting the external HD. I've also tried using KBackup without success. After I tried to extract one smaller directory, I received a complaint about permissions. (Even though FAT32 doesn't have permissions (as far as I know), I used chown -R.) But generally, small directories on the HD seem to compress/decompress OK. I've been experimenting for around 5 days. I also tried a quick search of this forum. This isn't a life-or-death matter. But, it would be nice to free up some space on my external HD. The directories I'm trying to compress average between 5GB to 12 GB. I'd break them up into smaller directories and then compress them, but I'd like to preserve their structure if possible. Edit: (Oops!) The problem is that the compressions seems to just stop at a certain point. I'm left with directories named similar to directory.tar.gzWriting even though the "i" in system tray indicates that the job is complete.. But, the job is left incomplete. Or, I'm left with "ghost" compressed directories that disappear when I use Dolphin View/Reload. Thanks! | Take a look at the Limits section at Wikipedia (fat32). Max file size is 4GiB. "Fat doesn't have permissions": right, but Linux does. By default it is mounted as root I believe, but I believe you can change this with mount options. |
Is there an app which makes it convenient to browse directories in /usr/share/doc?

I use Xfce in Squeeze. | I use the "most" pager to render gzipped text in line. zless and zmore will do the same.

I am trying out Debian. I was using Ubuntu but am unhappy with the newest release 11.04. So far I have been able to configure my system pretty well but I am having a problem with slow internet. The internet speeds were fine in Ubuntu. I have noticed a few other threads about a similar issue but so far the solutions haven't worked for me. I have tried disabling ipv6. One user solved the problem by installing the Nvidia drivers: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... et#p363446. This did not work for me. I have pinged google like was said to do here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... et#p382026. The ping came back very quickly.

Hi all, I do not know scripting. Hence in absence of that required/basic skill I have used the alias command in .bashrc to do lot of stuff which is repetitive from time to time one of which is compiling small programs and games I like to compile from their svn . One of the games in this is allacrost http://www.allacrost.org/ . The project uses subversion as its DVCS . These are the compile instructions when you want to compile after downloading the game from svn Code: Select allautoreconf -i ./configure make clean make Of course the first time you run it 'make clean' is useless but on each newer sync when you are rebuilding its nice (as all old symbolic links, translations, libraries and headers get deleted) . It just makes it as if new/pristine . As this is repetitive and becomes boring soon, I made a small alias command for the same so it would do the same thing by calling a single alias in my .bashrc :- Code: Select allalias makeallacrost='autoreconf -i;./configure;make clean;make The alias 'makeallacrost' is there so that the name is unique in itself and can differentiate from others. Giving a partial output of what happens when I run the above alias . Code: Select all$ makeallacrost autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION Makefile.am:320: `:='-style assignments are not portable Makefile.am:323: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ........... Ok, the first three lines are the output one gets while doing autoreconf -i . I know its ugly but that's an issue/problem of upstream. The rest of the lines happen when we use configure (to check if all the dependencies we need to compile are there or not) and make a makefile suitable/usable for us. I have intentionally just used the first two-three lines of configure only as do not want to make the post more long. Anyways what I want to be able to do is have a space between the two commands so that the output comes something like this :- Code: Select all$ makeallacrost autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION Makefile.am:320: `:='-style assignments are not portable Makefile.am:323: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ........... See the difference between the two outputs. There is a space so I could figure out that one command has ended and another has begun. Does anybody know of a way (uncomplicated way) of doing the same .

Hello, I have two servers (A and B) which are identical. My idea was to have a software RAID 1 with both of them running and if server A craps out I wanted to swap the hard drives from server B into server A. When I tried to test this idea the network driver doesn't seem to want to cooperate. ifconfig gives nothing and I can't figure out why. From googling I've read that a network card has a unique ID on it (I'm assuming their talking about the MAC address) and is used in some config files which is why swapping hard drives gives two different MAC addresses and confuses the system. If that is so would anyone know exactly what config files the mac address is stored/used in? That way I can make a backup of those files and swap those out if I ever need to swap out the hard drives. Thanks. | In my experience this has been the only difficulty in swapping a Linux hard disk into a new machine. There is an entry for every network card with a unique mac address a machine has ever used in Code: Select all/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules That ensures that each interface name is bound to a single mac address for all time. The problem of course is that when you swap into a new machine, it has a different mac address which goes to eth1 instead of eth0 as you'd expect it to. To work around this you can simply delete the offending line in the file before transferring the drive and a new one will be made for the new network card. I can't seem to find an clear, up-to-date answer via google as to how to disable this behaviour. It looks like this is being done by /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules. Deleting that file may help, but it will only be replaced on upgrades. The best I could suggest is diverting that file so upgrades always put it in an innocuous place.

Hello ! My firewall keeps blocking something called CPQ-Wbem. There have been about 10 instances of this. I did not have clue what this was until i found this on another forum. A machine on the network is advertising it runs, or looks for machines running, Compaq Insight Manager on TCP/2301. If the machine isn't yours or you haven't enabled Compaq's web-based remote management then silently drop it. Now as far as i know i do not have a network, just a dsl connection. I also do not own a Compaq computer. So if someone who has some knowledge of this could you explain to me how a " network is advertising it runs, or looks for machines running, Compaq Insight Manager on TCP/2301 " . This would seem to me to be a local network thing not a www thing ? Any help understanding this would be appreciated . Thanks in advance | Could be just something sending packets to your port 2301 and your firewall software has that associated with the Compaq stuff regardless of what the actual content is. There's nothing preventing other things from using that port as well. It sounds like your machine is connected directly to the internet without an intervening router. In that case, I wouldn't be surprised to see all kinds of bizarre stuff blocked by your firewall as absolutely anybody can send packets to your internet-facing address. This is one reason why having a separate router is a good thing even if you don't have multiple computers connected to it. |

Hi! I have a laptop with a floppy drive, and it works fine in Windows, but I'm not sure how to use it under Linux. It does not show up in PCmanFM, like my USB-harddrive, but I do have a /dev/fd0, so I tried: Code: Select allsudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt and then it complains about the file system not being specified, so I do Code: Select allsudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt but to no avail. | What happens when you type the -t vfat command?

After using Iceweasel/Firefox 4 on Squeeze for a while (an hour or two), the bookmark toolbar becomes unresponsive and sometimes the folders (I have some bookmark folders), when clicked, will open but as soon as I move the cursor to hover over the link (to select it) the menu disappears. I never had the problem with Iceweasel/Firefox 3x. The problem is fixed by restarting the browser but that is not always a good solution nor SHOULD it have to be done. Does anybody else get this problem? What would fix this? | Do you have Compiz running? Sounds like the Firefox 4 borking Compiz bug. |
Hi, I'm looking for a way to use "xterm -e" with multiple commands. (the -e option set the beginning program of xterm session) I have a script like this: Code: Select allecho "answer? " read answer_a if [ $answer_a = 'y' ] then #code else #code fi I'm wondering if it is possible use the script in only one line as argument of "xterm -e", so somthing like: xterm -e {echo "answer? "; read answer_a; if [ $answer_a = 'y' ]; then #code; else #code; fi} | I believe what you're looking for is "|" (xterm -e "xxx | yyy".

Actually, if somebody knew it I would learn from it as well |
someone has got a docu/how-to/info stored somewhere? a bookmark? Problem is easy: http://www.dillo.org/ says you need to install fltk2 first. Version in experimental is 1.3. If i pick the download tar.bz of fltk2 i run into: " .... not declared in this scope" during compilation of glut. Error messages of that kind don't give me a clue, and the Web does it neither. The best i could find are some tips at the antix forum, about unpacking a puppy version. I want to make a deb, the problem is not only about running dillo. h3v seems like another option.

Hello, is there a way to set level of sound parameters (those you can set by running "alsamixer") at boot? Sound on my netbook is low.

Hello, I'm running Debian Squeeze on a Dell Studio Laptop, and this morning my computer woke up and gnome was randomly frozen. I dismissed this as a random error and proceeded to hard-reboot the computer. It now will not boot at all. After multiple attempts, every time the boot process hangs on "Starting GNOME display manager gdm3." I even left it there for 2 hours while I was gone to see if it would get past the hang. It did not, and was still stopped at that same line when I got back. Obviously I need some real help here to get my system back.

Hi, recently I am trying to switch from Iceweasel to Chromium. I am running Squeeze which has in its repos Chromium 6.0.472.63; unfortunately with this version I am not able to install any extension (I need some of them to sync bookmarks, tabs, etc..) because chrome web store wants me to upgrade before I can use any of them. Chromium 12.0.742.91 (which doesn't have a problem with extension installation) is available in testing repos, but I am not sure I wanna run Wheezy by now... I was thinking to temporary add "wheezy main contrib" to my /etc/apt/sources.list, upgrade Chromium (which will also require to update some libraries to satisfy its dependencies) and then remove testing from my source list. Is this a good idea or is not Any better solution?? Thanks Cheers Mattia | Your idea is not so good because you would not recieve any security updates. You can use the Testing repo but you have to use pinning. http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences#Pinning You do not have to run Testing yet of course. But there exists also the possibility to use Chrome not Chromium directly from Google. |
Upon booting my LVM wheezy setup, I get Code: Select allfsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=theUUID' where "theUUID" (without the quotes) is the UUID I believe this is caused by me trying to get lvm to use the external /boot because when I had unmounted the external /boot, it was creating a /boot in root. So, I booted a live cd and mounted the external /boot where /boot in the root volume is supposed to be. Basically, I think the problem is that I need to make my /boot (which is the only ext3 partition in the entire system and I want it that way) "relate itself" to the lvm root so that it boots into the system. As mentioned earlier, in the live CD, I made the external /boot mount itself in the root's /boot but I don't know how to tell the system to do this on its own while booting without my assistance. I chrooted from the live cd which involved a lot of tedious stuff but basically the important stuff I did were: Code: Select allgrub-install /dev/sdb update-grub update-initramfs -u If I am being confusing, just ask me to clarify. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! P.S. I get the issue in the Subject of this topic by telling tune2fs to mark the external /boot, lvm / and /home partitions as "dirty." | Just set the boot partition via fstab and it'll be fine (as far as mounting the boot partition as /boot goes). |
Hello all, I'm very new to Debian, though not so new to Linux. I could use some help with my internet connection, if possible. I have used the information available at wiki.debian.org/iwlagn to install firmware etc for my Intel Pro Wireless 4965 card. According to the network applet the connection is good, but it only seems to work when my ethernet cable is plugged in. I get no connection without the cable in, even though clicking on "edit connections" shows that ethernet is shown as "device not managed". With the cable plugged in I can get emails. Iceweasel will connect to the internet, but Epiphany will not. Without the cable I get no internet connection at all. Thanks for any suggestions I include a screenshot of my Active Network Connection screen with the ethernet cable plugged in - it shows a speed of 54MB/s which changes shortly after to 1MB/s Oh, apparently I don't include a screenshot as the board quota has been reached | Did you install the required firmware actually?

This one is making me a bit confused since I am unable to find the log file. Ok here goes the background: If I build alsa using m-a it seems to work with skype and wine but the stock installed debs does not. (Skype crashes etc). So I use module-assistant to build the driver and it works. However if I use a custom kernel it complains that it 'can not find the headers'. I have confirmed the headers are installed and using m-a to build virtualbox-ose works. Can someone help me find the log file or etc, it would be very nice to be able to use a custom kernel along with alsa. UPDATE: If I try to build the deb manually I get the following error: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: kernel-headers Pointing the debian rules to the specific headers does not help. I think the solution is somewhere in this directory though. UPDATE: I removed the dependency on 'kernel headers' in /debian/control and it fails on the step: Code: Select allchecking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-vb1 checking for directory with kernel headers... failed | The headers package install is supposed to create symbolic links in /lib/modules/<kernel-version> that link to /usr/src/linux-headers-<kernel-version>, the links are called "build " and "source".

Something must have broken somewhere, but I have no idea why or how. After installing Squeeze and getting everything to work, I pretty much left my system unchanged. The only exception was trying out the latest KDE from the repositories ... which I later deleted again. Right around that same time I also noticed problems with Iceweasel 4.01 not rendering text on very few web pages properly. I attributed that problem strictly to Iceweasel/Flash/Java though, see here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=65324 However, now I'm beginning to think that something more serious is going on. Yesterday I tried to uninstall a video related application from the software center ... waited forever ... but it would not uninstall. No error message or anything else, just the endless "busy circle" for several minutes until I eventually closed the window. About an hour later I wanted to see if there were any new Squeeze updates available, opened up the Update Manager, and received ... two completely blank windows ??? The larger of the two windows was clearly the main update manager window since that's what the titlebar stated. The buttons for ... check ... install updates ... close ... and so on were also there, but no content whatsoever in the main window portion of the update manager. I couldn't click on anything either because of the second tiny window that appeared on top of the update manager. That tiny window also had the title ... Update Manager ... which was all that was visible. No content, no buttons, no minimze, enlarge, or close button ... nothing! The only way that I could close that non-functioning Update Manager was via the "force application to close" symbol that I keep handy on the desktop. So I figured, okay, between some terminal usage and software center, perhaps something is going on where it might be a prudent idea to restart the system. So I shut it down completely, waited an hour or so, and turned it on again. Everything is working fine (as it was before, except for browser text rendering & update manager). So this time I decide to use Synaptic as opposed to the Update Manager. It's the only thing that I've used on the system today (aside from checking my email). Well, when I try to start Synaptic, a small error window opens up with this message: Unable to get exclusive lock This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. But I am not, nor have I been using anything else today! Any idea what's causing this? Is it possible that when I removed KDE that other important items were inadvertently removed as well? I followed standard instructions (don't remember the exact page/details) and removed nothing else, at least not that I'm aware of. I do have Compiz running but I've always had it running right after the installation of Squeeze. I'd really hate to reinstall my entire system because of these issues, but I will if there's no other way .... Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. | Hve you tried a reboot? |

Hello! I need to install a Linux distribution at work and I'd like to give Debian a try (I've been using Gentoo for years at home).

I cannot run safemode as user. Iceweasel ignores safemode and opens a normal window. It works fine as root.

I have these installations: 1. Wheezy on SSD (/dev/sdb) in one single partition (50GB) 2. Squeeze on HDD (/de/sda) with /boot, /root and /home.

Trying out Kubuntu, I was pleasantly impressed with the in-depth localization of KDE. Anyway, Debian + KDE seems way behind. I set my locales using dpkg-reconfigure locales but few popular applications got properly translated. Crucial apps, like Dolphin, K3B or notification daemon still haven't a single word in my native language. Is there a way to import Ubuntu localization? | gdm3 lets you choose the localization before starting a session, else u have to edit some files (like duh) kdm i am not too sure, but when ur localization is chosen everything will be translated if possible. |

Hi all, Today I was updating grub and for some reason the system hanged. Going to a tty did not solve any problems. At the end I had to do a hard reboot and came up with the following on the grub boot Code: Select allreloc offset is out of segment Entering rescue mode grub rescue > Googling for the above I landed on this page. http://kcching.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubu ... -with.html While I'm going to try the later part, is there anything else I need to know about ? Didn't have to do much, took the the Squeeze 6.10.a DVD, asked it to run into rescue mode and then did grub-install giving the MBR (hd0) as the place to be. Things worked nice after that. Upon booting had to run Code: Select alldpkg --configure -a and it updated grub to 1.99-5 among other updates. Did not know that Squeeze had a rescue method as well (just like Ubuntu live CDs have). Now just have to wait for Debian to get Live CD/DVD as default | As far as I can remember, there is live-build that can create live Debian CDs. |

Its a dual-boot box which got broken/borked. the following is after pressing 'e' for editing the kernel booting process in GRUB2 :- Code: Select allset params 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.2+' insmod part_msdos set root='(hd0,msdos9)' search --no-floppy --fs --uuid --set=root , long alphanumeric uuid code echo 'Loading linux 2.6.38.2+' linux /boot/vmlinuz -2.6.38.2+ root=uuid long alphanumeric uuid code ro init =/sbin/bootchard quiet echo 'Loading initrd ramdisk ..' initrd /boot/initrd img-2.6.38.2+ The solution in the libc6 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626450 as well as a http://www.vitavonni.de/blog/201105/201 ... .13-3.html says to reboot with parameters like :- Code: Select allbreak=init rw then probably get some kind of $ prompt (this I'm guessing), Code: Select allcd root probably meaning to go /root and then Code: Select all$ ln -s lib lib64 and then sync, unmount and reboot. Ok, now I have difficulty understanding/following the same. I *think* that the break= init rw is to do with this line :- Code: Select alllinux /boot/vmlinuz -2.6.38.2+ root=uuid long alphanumeric uuid code [color=#FF4080]ro[/color] init =/sbin/bootchard quiet should this be changed to simply :- Code: Select alllinux /boot/vmlinuz -2.6.38.2+ root=uuid long alphanumeric uuid code [color=#FF4080]rw[/color] init =/sbin/bootchard quiet Notes :- 1. 'the alphanumeric uuid code' is nothing but a big string of alphanumeric symbols. I http://wiki.debian.org/Part-UUID that uuid big strings are simply a way for Debian to know each unique partition. 2. Most *probably* I formatted /home with ext4 while / is most probably with ext3 itself as that time (6 months before or so) ext4 couldn't do booting on logical extended partition. Looking forward for info. | shirish wrote:Ok, now I have difficulty understanding/following the same.

It wants to you use something like this: Code: Select alllinux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.2+ root=UUID break=init rwIf you're having trouble getting it to boot, you can perform the repair using any rescue CD (I personally use SystemRescueCD), mounting your root partition and creating the symlink mentioned in the bug report. |
wheezy 2.6.38-2-amd64 KDE update (about 15 min ago on other machine) completely obliterated operating system. can't even see it on grub menu. can't find it with super grub II disk either. any way to get it back or must i ...RE-INSTALL....AGAIN? | Gone how? And what upgraded? No issues on a fully upgraded Debian sid system. Other than you formatting the partition you had Debian installed on or doing one of the silly rm -f / things, there is no way it is actually gone. Grub or your kernel may have been removed. That is why you always pay attention to what is being upgraded/installed/removed and why you use apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges on Testing and sid. |
I never set up cron before, but I figured I would use it to automate some things. I wrote a few simple bash scripts and threw them in /usr/local/bin, and I set up a time for them to run. The machine was on, but they never ran. If I run the commands manually, they work. But cron never seems to execute them. Inside /var/log I don't see a cron log at all. I set up the scripts to run on Friday at specified hours. Can anyone please spot my mistake? Code: Select all#Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron. # # Each task to run has to be defined through a single line # indicating with different fields when the task will be run # and what command to run for the task # # To define the time you can provide concrete values for # minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon), # and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').# # Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system # daemon's notion of time and timezones. # # Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through # email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected). # # For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts # at 5 a.m every week with: # 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/ # # For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8) # # m h dom mon dow command 0 1 * * 5 email_etc_backup 0 2 * * 5 update 0 3 * * 5 check_raid 0 4 * * 5 email_package_list | Most common cause of errors I've seen of symptoms where scripts work fine in a shell but not inside cron is PATH issues. cron executes scripts with a default PATH set to /usr/bin:/bin, so I'd recommend you check all your scripts and make sure they include full path if necessary. |
I've been using debian unstable/experimental for some time now (1-2 years), though I have never had to deal with anything quite like this. Put simply, my system appears to be completely FUBARed. A few minutes ago I was doing my routine $ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade, this time it was pulling in libc6 2.13-3. Everything looked to be going fine until I get the following Code: Select allSetting up libc-bin (2.13-3) ... (Reading database ... 175567 files and directories currently installed.)

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Current status: 10 updates [-7]. Okay, so I go off to do something else, however it turns out now that I'm unable to do anything except work with already running processes and run only internal bash commands! Anything else results in a "No such file or directory" error if I try to execute a binary/script. Since I can cd through my directory tree though, I am able to confirm that all binaries/scripts are still in place with echo * Furthermore, I cannot login to another tty on my machine.

Hi. Below are example screenshots of Freemind from Ubuntu Lucid and Debian Squeeze Lucid Squeeze You'll notice that there is slightly different quality, it is also applies to pdf documents. and my question is.. how do i increase rendering quality in debian squeeze? thanks | I don't see any difference, even if I switch between them very fast, they are pixel to pixel identical to me. Maybe you have different version of X/kernel/drivers/whatever and thus everything is rendered better (differently) in Ubuntu - everything that's being drawed on the screen. But the images seem the same to me. |
The folder "xxx" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. Have a Raid-System and just made a 3TB ext4 partition and a little ntfs partition...

If you're not particularly security conscious, you can allow "anybody" to write to the drive (I say anybody, I mean anybody who is in possession of the drive) by doing this as root:Code: Select allchmod 777 /path/to/mount/pointReplace "/path/to/mount/point" as appropriate. You should then be able to copy things onto it. If you're curious about the permissions and what "777" means, the chmod manual is pretty good at explaining it ("man chmod"). |

Hi, I'm wondering if exists a way to know how many writings I coulddo on my usb pen, by the moment that the number of writings is limited... anyone can help me? (sorry for my english, I'm italian) | Not really. There is no exact number of writes that flash memory can do before it breaks, it is all statistics and suchlike. And the statistics cover the individual memory cells, so it'll be different for each block on the drive (as will the number writes for each block). Basically, whatever is on your pen drive, keep it backed up somewhere else. One day your pen drive will randomly start breaking, at which point you go buy another. Knowing the number of writes has very little benefit. I'd even go as far as saying it might give you false hope, because sometimes these things just randomly stop working. |
Hi all, running Debian Squeeze on a toshiba laptop, 3G ram ,AMD 64. have a game disk (World of warcraft, wrath of the linch king) and when i put it in the drive it does display the grey icon on the desktop but i am not able to unmount it.

Was hard to find a title for my Thread. My situation is: Installed Ubuntu along with Debian on my Notebook and use Grub Manager to choose between them on startup.. Since i like Debian now a lot (in past days it was a very hard system to handle, but there has been some progress i noticed), i have to change some things (want Debian as main system now) For Ubuntu i have: (was meant to be main system on Notebook) "/", "/home" and a "swap" partition, but since i am now going to use mainly Debian, i wanted to store my files all in the "/home"-folder of my extended Ubuntu partition (has much more space available) not in the "/home" folder of the Debian system. So i want both (Debian and Ubuntu) to use the same extended partition ("/home") which i created for Ubuntu to save their files like downloads, videos, and so on... Any suggestions or maybe tutorials that could help me? btw: I need Ubuntu for some things (for example: Big Raid System where i need 64bit-technique etc... ) I am pretty much a noob and i guess it'll be some hours of reading and trying to fix this, but i am willing to do so... i just don't even know where to begin with... Greetings from Germany and thanks for your help, _ari | You will have to: 1. mount the /home partition of Ubuntu if it's not automounted by Debian. 2. then you need to automount it so you must edit /etc/fstab. 2a. run 'ls -l /dev/disks/by-uuid' to see the UUID of the partitions then put as /home the one currently used by Ubuntu (with the same values as the current /home in /etc fstab, that is 'defaults') 2b the current /home in /etc/fstab you put another mount-point for it; if it's currently in the same partition as / then just replace it for the above. 3. copy your personal folder (/home/username) to the new /home partition (the one currently from Ubuntu) 4. that's it, as far as I'm thinking now. The system will be the same, only your /home will be in the other partition. If it works then delete the original /home from the first partition.

I just did a standard installation of Debian Squeeze. I want to get the following packages: compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-gtk According to the Debian Wiki (if I read it correctly), these packages are all in the Debian Squeeze Stable repo. But when I Code: Select all# apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-gtk It says that it cannot find the packages.

Hi all, I'm sure all of you know this. Sometimes when we update/upgrade packages we get the restart required icon on the desktop panel which means we need to reboot for the update to complete. Is there someway to know which or what package required the reboot to happen ? | Install debian-goodies, then after doing an upgrade, type (as root) checkrestart.

Hi everyone I'm using Debian testing and sometimes my whole system just locks up. There are 2 cases: 1. System freezes while running * suddenly programs stall until complete freeze * then the whole screen freezes * sound stops playing and locks up in a loop * pushing the keyboard/sys rq/power button doesn't help anything * there are no special log messages (at least as far as i can tell), neither in messages nor xorg.log.1 nor kern.log.1 or any other logfile i checked after i reboot I thought this wasn't supposed to happen on a linux box? A freeze maybe, but no special log messages at all? No kernel panic? Simply nothing? 2.

Hi all, I want to use bootchart to see how much time its taking for things to load up and the desktop to settle. I am having a little trouble figuring out how to make sure that bootchard loads up each time (non-interactively) so I can easily put up the results and see what could be done better. The man page of bootchartd says :- "bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process for the purpose of speeding it up. In this case, it is started by the kernel as the init process. This is configured by adding the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line -- either interactively or by editing the bootloader's configuration file. Please refer to the documentation of your bootloader for details (e.g. lilo, grub or yaboot)." - Man page - bootchartd In Grub I know that any and all the changes are done in /usr/share/grub/default/grub. The only change so far done is with GRUB_TIMEOUT Code: Select all# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: # info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5000 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" # Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs # This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains # the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...) #GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef" # 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 # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" Now how or what entry I should put in here so that bootchart starts at the very beginning ? | Try edit /etc/default/grub like Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/sbin/bootchartd" and run as root grub-update, then reboot.

Hi all, Is there anyway to find out which packages are obsolete and which can be removed entirely without a dependancy issue. I get outputs something like this :- Code: Select allCurrent status: 51 updates [-9], 2370 new [-1655].

There is one tool called cruft (which I have tried before and it is/was extremely buggy, atleast at the time I tried it. I do not like synaptic hence looking for alternatives (dpkg, aptitude etc) which can help in this | Code: Select alldeborphan $(aptitude search ~o -F"%p") will run deborphan against each "obsolete" package. deborphan will tell you if any packages depend on the given package. You could also set all the obsolete packages as auto-installed. That should trigger a removal for any packages that aren't required. Just note that locally installed packages are also considered "obsolete" so be careful when allowing removal. Code: Select allaptitude markauto $(aptitude search ~o -F"%p")should accomplish marking them auto-installed. |
Hi, I have an Acer Aspire One D260 netbook with Wheezy installed. The wireless connection to my router/modem keeps dropping out. The distance between the netbook and modem isn't an issue as it can happen when I'm in the same room as the modem. Most of the time I'm in the next room with a timber wall seperating the netbook from the modem. When I'm in the next room the signal strength is around the 80% mark. I have tried changing wireless channels in the modem however the problem remains the same. The main concern is that after it drops out it cannot connect again as wicd says 'No wireless connection found" I have to reboot the system for a connection to be found again and sometimes on reboot there is still no connection so I must reboot again. The same problems exist using Network Manager. I have one other laptop and two desktop computers running Wheezy and they use the same wireless system without a problem. Any advice on how to solve this would be appreciated. | lspci |
Greetings! I got libgnome-keyring0_3.0.0-1_amd64 with my full-update with SMXI this morning. After that, the keyring wouldn't remember any passwords, and empathy wouldn't log into any accounts. A restart didn't help. I downgraded to 2.32.0-1 and everything works again. Anybody else with this problem? | Sort of the same problem here. Just installed Debian Sid from testing netinst and update. When synaptic pops up asking for password, the keyring option doesn't appear. I copied all the keyring configuration files from another sid install (about a week old), and I can see the keys in System/Preferences/Passwords and encryptation keys (seahorse). But the key described as "Local password for user root" as copied from the other install, inside the default or login folder, does not work now. Using the version 2.32 of libgnome-keyring. |
It is happening on my netbook with Gnome running Squeeze. It was running squeeze before it became stable. X was running fine and loading automatically on booting. Then I did not use it for some time. Then I ran apt-get updates and upgrades after squeeze became stable. A few packages were kept back. So I did aptitude dist-upgrade. It installed some things and maybe removed some things. After that it will boot only to console. When I do startx on the command line, X session starts and everything seems normal. But it will not boot to the GUI like before. I also checked in the Synaptic and saw xorg and xserver-xorg still installed. I hope I did not break it too badly. Can someone let me know what to look and fix. Thank you. | Try running this command as root: Code: Select allapt-get install gdm3 |
I have a home server with over 200 GB of photos on it in my /home dir. The server runs Debian squeeze. There's room for two drives, so I had the bright idea to buy a second identical 1TB drive, format it with the same partitions as drive1, and periodically rsync from the main backup on drive1 to drive2. Then if/when drive1 failed, I could just swap in drive 2 with a minimum of fuss and loss. The backup in my /home is a rotating, incremental one that uses hardlinks. The first step, though, involves getting a copy of the huge home with all permissions, timestamps, hardlinks, and so on intact. I mounted the duplicate /home dir of drive2 in /mnt/drive2-home/ so (I think?) it's officially part of the local filesystem, even though it's a different physical drive. I've been trying for days, and crawling all over the web, and all I am is pretty confused. This is what I've tried: rsync -avH : for some reason changed ownership to root and permissions to 700. Not useful. Not sure what I did wrong. cp -al : didn't seem to be handling hardlinks right. took for-bloody-ever. so I cancelled it in hope of finding something better tar -cvpzf backup-home.tar.gz /home/: seemed to be working, but was very slow. Did about 2GB in about 2 hours. The whole thing would take days at that rate. What am I missing? Is there a better way? Or do I just take a deep breath and wait for tar to do its thing? | try using paragon Disk manager do you have access to a windows computer? |
Hello, I want to find some interesting games but the complete list looks a bit daunting. I can search the web for this information but what would be even better is if I could search a category in order of popularity. Is there a way to do this? Categories can be found here: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/ If not, is there a way I can find a list of packages in textlist format (like here: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/allp ... mat=txt.gz) for each category (rather than a complete list)? Thanks, Josh | Have you tried Synaptic, or even the Software Center? Should both be installed by default in Squeeze if you are using Gnome. If not, you can install them.

Hi, Yesterday I installed a RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI on my squeeze system. Now I have a connection to Internet but I can not connect other systems in my home network.

Thanks | I Have found the problem. The script "/usr/share/live/build/scripts/build/lb_chroot_hacks" is removing all the openssh-server hostkeys. Thus removing the ones I have put in "chroot_local-includes". I do not know the purpose of this! It took me several days of work to figure it out.

Hi! I'm having some troubles with Rhythmbox, I have a lyric plugin enabled but when I ask for a song's lyric I can't see it because of the character map settings, here is an example: Code: Select allIt's funny how So the question is how can I run Rhythmbox with an specific charmap? Thanks! | You are not alone. But you should google this issue first. Here it is with a patch for the TerraParser.py which has a regex error. And here is the clue for you also |
A day or two ago I saw a weird file in my downloads folder, and deleted it. I'm not sure why I deleted it rather than wondering why there was a weird file there, but anyway...another one has shown up. name: datetime type: PS document (application/postscript) It's an image. The top part of the image shows what I was doing in a terminal last night. The bottom part shows a folder I was browsing in Nautilus. I believe the top and bottom parts are from different times. I'm a little weirded out, it's like something is taking screenshots of what I'm doing. Anyone happen to know what program created these or why? edit: Just thought I'd add that I'm using Debian sid, and that when the image of the terminal was taken, I was running a script called debug.py from https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/1032 . I had installed Openshot and it wasn't working due to missing dependencies. It is working now. I don't see anything in debug.py that would have created the datetime file, and since a similar file had appeared a day or so before, it seems like a coincidence that I was running that script at the time. | Could be worse. It's odd they would appear in your downloads folder. I'd look into the logs corresponding to the date and time the file was created. |
