Can someone please tell me the login password for the LiveCD if I Logout? Is the login "Debian Livecd user"? I can't find it on the forum with searches. Thanks. Larry | Try: user: user Pswd: live Those are common. If they don't work, Google. This is a common question and someone out there has it.

Hello everyone. I'm setting up a Squeeze system with multiple users. I would like to have it the way that no user is allowed to read other user's files. I have searched the net and the forums here and have found quite a lot of stuff but it's all a bit confusing to me. Some suggest that one should use Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure adduser and select Code: Select all<no> But that doesn't do what I'd like to achieve (with a newly created user): Code: Select allwussy@dorm:/home$ ls -l drwxr-x--x 2 cutie cutie 4096 16.2. 17:53 cutie Although I can't list the contents of the newly created users home directory while logged in as another user, I can read the files if I know the path. The read permissions are still there. For example Code: Select all-rw-r--r-- 1 cutie cutie 38212 16.2. 17:53 cutie/mysecretdiary.odt Some suggest I should edit Code: Select all/etc/adduser.conf and change Code: Select allDIR_MODE=0755 to Code: Select allDIR_MODE=0700 That doesn’t satisfy me either. Now home directories are created with fair permissions Code: Select alldrwx------ 2 missy missy 4096 16.2. 18:01 missy and I can’t read the files as another user, but the file permissions still look kind of weird to me: Code: Select all-rw-r--r-- 1 missy missy 1587675 16.2. 18:01 myjuicyphoto.jpg I’d like them to be: Code: Select all-rw------- Some suggests that one should set default umask to 077 in /etc/profile, but that file says Code: Select all# The default umask is now handled by pam_umask. # See pam_umask(8) and /etc/login.defs. I read the pam_umask(8) manual page, but to be honest, couldn’t understand a bit... On the other hand, in /etc/login.defs it says: Code: Select all# The ERASECHAR and KILLCHAR are used only on System V machines. # # UMASK is the default umask value for pam_umask and is used by # useradd and newusers to set the mode of the new home directories. # 022 is the "historical" value in Debian for UMASK # 027, or even 077, could be considered better for privacy # There is no One True Answer here : each sysadmin must make up his/her # mind. # # Prefix these values with "0" to get octal, "0x" to get hexadecimal. # ERASECHAR 0177 KILLCHAR 025 UMASK 022 # I changed the Code: Select allUMASK 022 to Code: Select allUMASK 077 and nothing changed (with newly created users): Code: Select alldrwx------ 2 missdecent missdecent 4096 16.2. 18:53 missdecent and Code: Select all-rw-r--r-- 1 missdecent missdecent 171898 16.2. 18:53 myknitpatterns.svg To be clear (or even more confusing), here’s what I want: Permissions for newly created directories: Code: Select alldrwx------ Permissions for newly created files: Code: Select all-rw------- So, have I messed things up, or do I already have what I was looking for? I really appreciate any answers, links, pointers, whatever... even the nice and cosy RTFM is sincerely welcomed. Thanks in advance, Wussy | Why not just Code: Select allchmod o-wrx /home/user1 You can do the same with groups I suppose, but the default user setup is that they are a member of their own group. |

I have a removable USB pen drive, that all of a sudden, when it got 99% used, stopped working. When I try to mount it (manually) I get "can't read superblock". I know there is a ton about this on Google, and I've read a lot of them, but most seem to be about formatting a drive, or fiddling in fstab. I'm trying to run fsck on it, and it finds errors, (among them: two FAT-tables?) but then it just freezes, and CPU goes to 100 % and I let it be like that for 4 minutes, before aborting. Scandisk in windows is rubbish (fails to start), and running "chkdsk /f F:", in windows, results in nothing, the shell crashes immediately. Is it normal for fsck to get stuck and just chew up CPU?

Did a fresh install of Debian 6.0. Cannot start fsck. None of the ways seem to work. I tried issuing 'shutdown -rF' and 'touch /forcefsck'. Where's the culprit? | Which partition you want to do fsck? Post the corresponding lines from your /etc/fstab You could force fsck in the following ways. 1. If the partition is not the root paritition, unmount it and do fsck manually as root 2. If it is the root paritition, the easiest way is to change the mount count. You could find the mount count and maximum mount count from the command Code: Select alltune2fs -l /dev/<devicename> Now change the mount count using Code: Select alltune2fs -C <number> /dev/<devicename> Select a number which is bigger than your maximum mount count. This forces fsck during the next reboot. |
Hello. I am currently working on making a audio interface work with a otherwise working debian desktop (its actually AVLinux, but its Debian for all intents and purposes). The problem is, the current version of ffado-svn installed (1949, from the experimental repository) has a bug with the firmware on the interface (an Echo Audiofire8) preventing me from using high sample rates, so I need to install a more recent version of ffado-svn. I am wondering if there is anyway I can build a current version of ffado-svn into the appropriate debian packages. While I am not familiar with debian, I am familiar with Linux (I use Arch regularly). I have tried messing around with downloading the svn source and downloading the source files from http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/libffado, however, my lack of knowledge of the building process in debian has rendered me unable to have success so far. Google has failed me too, most of the info I have found is just way too generic. If anybody can give me some pointers, I would be very appreciative! Thanks for your time! | From your experimental source files, follow the procedure here: https://sites.google.com/site/stevosfil ... kports.txt Extract the Debian files and then pull out the /debian folder. Extract your svn pull if necessary, and rename it in the debian fashion. You may have to poke around inside to find the svn version. If it were something like 2048, then name the source directory "libffado-2.0.99+svn2048" Hmmm--do you want to make your own source packages? If not, pop the older /debian folder into your new source, enter it, run Code: Select alldch -i in the terminal to add a stanza to /debian/changelog, and make the new version (example) libffado (2.0.99+svn2048-0). Then back out to the root of the source directory (one up from the /debian folder) and run Code: Select alldebuild binary Hopefully none of the build-depends have changed. If you want your own source files, install dh-make, and run on the pristine, but renamed, source directory (no debian file added) Code: Select alldh_make -r Discard the new debian folder and use the modified older one from the debian source, and build the sources and debs with Code: Select alldebuild -us -uc |
Hi all, I've been a very happy user of Debian Squeeze (gnome) for a few months already. Everything works great, but I am encountering an annoying, and regular problem: almost every time I update my system (through synaptic) and reboot, my desktop theme gets reset to the more "blocky" default gnome one.

I've been using debian unstable for some months, and after some problems I've been having with the nvidia non-free drivers and pulseaudio, I decided to do a new fresh install. As in the first time, I used a netinst CD, and all went ok. The first three times it booted perfectly, with gnome and all the apps, without problems. I updated the system with the unstable repositories, and I went home (i was somewhere else). When I got home (like an hour ago), my new debian OS boots, but it brings me to the console, instead of automatically logging me in normally, with the GUI and Gnome and everything. It asks for login and password, and then it's just the console, and if I type, for example, Iceweasel or vlc or any program, it tells me that there's no display or that the X window system is not available. What happens? It worked just fine a few hours ago, ant I only updated my system...! Also, it booted normally a few times after upgrading, so it's quite strange. Also, before that, I tried to install Debian Testing from a CD ISO image, and I succeeded, but the same happened so I used the netinst image and it worked. But now it just won't work... My partition system is now like this: /dev/sda4 - ext4 Debian Sid (old one) mounted as / [BOOT] /dev/sda1 - extended, containing new one: /dev/sda5 - ext4 Debian Sid (new one) mounted as / /dev/sda6 - swap (new one) /dev/sda7 - ext4 Debian Sid (new one) mounted as /home/ /dev/sda3 - swap (old one) (bold means "primary" partitions, italics means the logical partitions inside the extended one) Any ideas?

Hello all, while trying to get a game to work on wine I was surprised to find out that the wine version that ships with sid is 1.0.1 released in October 2005. So I installed the latest release I found at http://www.lamaresh.net/binary.php#sid_amd64, like this : dpkg -i wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb The install failed, I think because I hadn't remove the old wine version, and that's when the joy-ride started. Impossible to remove wine to restart properly. (apt-get remove libwine wine and apt-get -f install didn't help) After some googling I tried this : dpkg -i --force-depends wine_1.1.42~winehq1-1_amd64.deb This did install the wine version I wanted, and the game ran fine after that. However the result was a borked apt-get. Tried to remove wine again with the above commands, resulting in apt-get failing to do so because it tried installing wine-unstable and reported errors similar to these : E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'wine-unstable'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) Trying to disable Immediate-Configure in apt.conf.d, by setting APT::Immediate-Configure "false"; or APT::Immediate-Configure "1"; to solve the issue but that had no effect. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-bin-unstable_1.1.32-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/wine-font-convert', which is also in package wine-utils 1.0.1-3.1 configured to not write apport reports Processing triggers for man-db ...

Hello, I've been searching for a utility in Debian that allows me to zero fill the UNUSED space on my partitions (thus dd is useless) and have had no luck googling. Is the such a utility? The idea is to make deleted data unrecoverable. Thanks. Edit: If such a tool exists, how would it deal with journaling? | Journalling is a bit tricky, since some metadata for deleted files might still exist. But if you're worried about that then zeroing the drive won't be much better, you'd be looking at /dev/urandom or simply destroying the hard-drive. The simplest method in fact uses dd, dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/bigfile.0000 The above command will create a file called bigfile.0000 and fill it with zeros until it runs out of space. Essentially zeroing the freespace on your hd. If root is mounted separately (as it should be) you can repeat it for each mounted partition. EDIT: Found a link with much more information, which also suggests my simple command above wouldn't do a whole lot? Didn't read through it closely. I should add a caution that if you're doing this as root, and accidentally make a type like /home instead of /home/bigfile.0000 disaster could result. Here's the link though: http://superuser.com/questions/19326/ho ... e-in-linux EDIT2: When getting advice to do things like dd anything, or any dangerous looking command that could be run as root, you should wait a bit and see if a number of people give similar advice.

Hello, I have been experimenting with using apt-get to compile from source. I have some questions on what is really happening, concerning specification of the deb and the subsequent upgrade. This is the course of events, for a compile of, say, htop: Code: Select allcd /usr/src su root apt-get build-dep htop apt-get -b source htop dpkg -i htop #??( For the exercise above, I do ensure that htop is not installed, or if it is, I apt-get remove --purge htop Questions: 1. I believe the dpkg line above requires a deb file, right? If so, I assume the deb file will be under /usr/src/htop, right? I would think there might be another deb file for htop existing on the system, but that would not be the one just built. Also, might the deb file be something like htop-0.8...deb? IOW, not just htop.deb?? 2. Should a subsequent apt-get update/upgrade cycle attempt to replace the newly installed program? (htop) On my box, apt-get upgrade attempts to upgrade my just built htop. Any hints or comments on this situation above, using apt-get to install from source, is appreciated. I did not see any mention of this issue on the forums but I may have missed it. info dpkg was uninformative for me.

I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found an elegant way to do it. I can't just use the GUI since I want to integrate this line of code into a greater shell script for this project.

When does the grub-pc splash screen disappear? On my computer it is displayed until "Loading, please wait" appears i.e. after both initrd.img and the kernel are loaded. A yes and no answer is enough. Thanks. | I admit the question sounds dull, but I am referring to the splash image, not to the grub menu which obviously is cleared when the kernel starts loading. Why am I asking this: I have used Trinity Rescue Kit CD which uses the splash image both for the bootloader's screen and the terminals' background. So, the questions should be rephrased to: Does the grub splash image normally appear as a background for the six terminals? Yes or No? |
Fresh Squeeze install: I have AWN running and right now I have used gconf-editor to stop gnome-panel from being a part of the Gnome Sessions...I think it was in Desktop -> Sessions -> Default Settings..or something like that. Before I did this I was just clearing out the entries for the top panel, using Apps -> Panel -> and then it was top_panel or something like that...I'm at work so I cannot fully verify, after I deleted the bottom panel. This still allowed me to use ALT + F2 to bring up the run prompt. Since removing gnome-panel from the session, I cannot use ALT + F2 anymore. If I were to put gnome-panel back, is there a way to keep the panels from recreating themselves after I remove them from within gconf-editor? If I leave gnome-session alone, whenever I reboot the top panel keeps coming back. I have everything I want running out of the AWN dock, so I want to remove the panels completely but still have the ability to launch the run prompt. I feel like I've gotten halfway there, I just cannot find the rest of the answer. Starting to feel like it might not be possible. | mharrison wrote: Since removing gnome-panel from the session, I cannot use ALT + F2 anymore. Well that's how it is. If you remove the panel ALT+F2 doesn't work. What I've done is to install gmrun. You can bind gmrun to ALT+F2.

Hi, I've tried with the help of some older topics about Dropbox to install Dropbox. But for some reason Dropbox can't be installed no longer?? Or am I searching on the wrong place?? See screenshot.

Hi all, I have installed phpBB3 and I need a turorial of how to set it up. This is my first time trying to use this software and sadly I cant even figure out how to access it. I have tried http://localhost/forum as suggested by some other tutorials but I still cannot access it. If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction I would greatly apriciate it. Thank you, AM | Absent Minded wrote:That is a great link Rolling Stone but I don't have a install directory. I will look around the site some more to see if there is a way I don't have to install from source. Just a thought for you (and slightly off topic): For live sites I personally prefer to install apps like phpbb and other CMS software from the original source. They usually have their fair share of vulnerabilities and when they are discovered they need to be patched *fast*. The scriptkiddies cruise around looking for vulnerable sites all the time. Using the distro specific packages just adds a delay, and depending of the maintainer's 'activity level' it can sometimes mean your site is vulnerable for days or weeks. And installing a php app 'from source' is nothing more than upload a bunch of files to the server and running a script. And you can follow the original documentation. As I said; just a thought As for documentation of the Debain package, have you looked in /usr/share/doc ? |

Hi! I am now preparing myself to upgrade lenny to squeeze and decided to do a backup on my system. I used backup-manager to do the job and it worked fine. My question (sounds trivial and very noobish) but how do you restore said backup data? Sorry, I practically lost the restore part. Any guide is highly appreciated. Thanks. | I haven't used backup-manager... Based on its website, I'm assuming it created one, compressed archive file?

Hi mates. I recently removed my extra partition to use my /home for all my files. Now I wonder.. When I do a new install and choose to mount this partition as /home, will the installer add the new config files to it or edit the linux-related files on it..? Or does it leave the partition as it is? I figured, new install may involve new files. Thanks. | Leaves the partition as is if that is what you specify in the partitioning portion of the installer. When reinstalling, I always Code: Select allrm -r .* To clean the accumulated crap and configuration files from the previous install. |

I've been struggling with CUPS on Debian for close to a year now. I've got both Debian Squeeze and Maverick on my EeePC that I use at work (at a high school). The printer we use is an NEC MultiWriter 3650N---a Japanese-only model; the only info I can find on it is in Japanese. NEC has a CUPS driver for it in a .deb package, but I have had absolutely no luck getting it to work---it only prints out garbage when it prints at all. The thing is, using Ubuntu I can get the printer working without installing the driver---I use the NEC MultiWriter Foomatic/npdl driver that comes with CUPS, and it Just Works. I'd rather be using Debian, but not being able to use the printer is a huge issue for me (I have to print out a lot of worksheets, etc). I'm not too fond of the idea of installing an Ubuntu package on Debian, but if there's a safe way to do that in order to get access to the printer, I'd do it. How stupid would it be to try? ***UPDATE*** Ubuntu and Debian's packages are binary incompatible, so the answer is: "Pretty Stoopid". However, there's a link posted below to http://www.openprinting.org/printer/NEC/NEC-MultiWriter that provides a .ppd file that works. Remember to change the default paper size to A4, though, or the printer will complain that it's out of paper (because it'll be trying to print to US Letter Size by default). | angus77 wrote: I'm not too fond of the idea of installing an Ubuntu package on Debian, but if there's a safe way to do that in order to get access to the printer, I'd do it.

I'm hoping someone can help me with the problem of my MPC client being refused connection to my MPD server. Here's the background. I'm building a music server using an Alix board with Voyage linux installed on that. The Alix board is attached to my laptop, running Debian, and the laptop acts as the file server via NFS. I have MPD installed and configured on the Alix board, and have configured NFS on the Alix board to look for the directory where my music files are on the laptop. I'm directly connecting the Alix board and the Laptop with a crossover cable as I don't want internet access - this is purely for storing and playing my FLAC files via the hi fi. As a result I've setup static IP addresses on both the Alix board and the Laptop, using 10.0.0.1 as the Laptop address and 10.0.0.2 for the Alix board address. Both the Laptop and Alix board have a netmask of 255.0.0.0 The Laptop /etc/network/interfaces output is Code: Select all# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 The Alix board /etc/network/interfaces output is Code: Select all# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 ifconfig on the Laptop shows eth0 as Code: Select allinet addr 10.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 ifconfig on the Alix shows eth0 as Code: Select allinet addr 10.0.0.2 Mask 255.0.0.0 Interestingly Network Manager did acknowledge the hard wired connection between the two devices whenever I plugged them together with the crossover cable and would stop trying to connect via the enabled wireless card I have. However for some reason it no longer does that and doesn't acknowledge that the Alix board and the Laptop are networked together via the crossover cable, and instead defaults to using the wireless card and connecting to my broadband. Network Manager did also show all the wireless networks that were available, plus an option to connect via a wired network, but the option to connect to the wired network has also gone. I haven't a clue what's up with that now, but maybe this is causing the problem. Anyway, I've disabled wireless networking and connected the two devices together using the crossover cable. I've pinged the Alix board from the laptop and that works, and I've pinged the Laptop from the Alix board and that works. I can also SSH into the Alix board so I know I have a path/connection. However when I click connect in MPC I get the following error message: Code: Select allerror code 15: problems getting a response from 10.0.0.2 on port 6601: Connection refused (Note: port 6601 is the port I've configured in MPD as directed to by this tutorialhttp://cheap-silent-usb-linux-music-ser ... results=14 MPC's connection properties on the Laptop are configured as follows Code: Select all Name = Alix Host = 10.0.0.2 Port = 6601 I've been googling all day to try and find solutions, but nothing seems to work. So far I've found the following advice: 1. Comment out the "bind to any address = "any" line in the mpd.conf, but that didn't solve it. 2. I'm wondering if I need to setup my routing tables so that it uses a static route, but I don't think that will help as I'm not connecting via a router. The Laptop is an IBM Thinkpad and not a Mac (I've read about people with Mac's having problems like this). As far as I know I don't have any firewalls - The Debian install is just disks 1 and 2, and I haven't installed any firewalls (but not sure if Debian comes with one as standard?) The Alix board has the Voyage distribution specifically for Alix and I'm certain that doesn't have anything like a firewall built into it as Voyage is a very stripped down linux kernel. Now I stumped as to what to do next and Google isn't helping me anymore, hence the plea for help. Thanks | did this connection issue start before you configured ripit or after the ripit thing? |

Ok, new problem. I can now get Ripit to run, but right after its got the artist and track data and displayed it, it then says it can't write to the error log on my output path. However ripping and encoding of the music seems to happen as it goes through all the tracks, but at the end the same error message appears and I get a message saying the time to rip = 0 and the time to encode = 0. When I look at the output directory there's nothing there. For the output directory I initially had the file output as /home/westers/music - that's my username and I have the directory music created, but I still got the error message. I then thought the problem was because /home/westers/music is setup to use a USB attached hard drive as it's disk drive and so I should actually be pointing the output to this drive because the drive is mounted to /home/westers/music. When I change the output to /dev/sdb (the hard drive name) I still get the same error message. I know the drive has mounted properly because I can see it has on the desktop. fpermission is set as the default, although I can't find any info about what the default options actually mean (google, the man page and the readme don't say what the options mean). So how can I get my music to be saved to the usb hard drive such that /home/westers/music can see it? I'm ripping the music to a flac file if that makes any difference. Thanks | An update on the problem. The actual error message is "Can not append to file /dev/sdb/Ian Astbury - Spirit Light Speed/error.log" Can not append to file error.log. The Ian Astbury part of the error is the name of the CD. Can anyone shed any light on this? I thought it may have been file permissions and changed them to 0666 in the config file, but that made no difference. Directory permissions are 0777 so that's at maximum too. |

I've installed RIPIT 3.6.0-1 for Lenny and have been following this tutorial to define a config file that saves all my options and which I can call every time I want to rip a CD http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... ilit=ripit Following that tutorial I copied the config file in etc/ripit/config to the new director ~/.ripit/config. The new directory and file exist as I can see them when I do ls -a and can edit the new config file. However when I type the command ripit all I get is the error message No config file found!

I just updated Grub2, I have a dual core AMD with /boot on sda1, swap on sda2, and / on an encrypted LVM (AES2) somewhere on sda Nothing I do makes it work again. Grub just says xputs not found and gives me the grub_rescue prompt. Is there now or will there ever be a grub2 package that works on amd without problem again. I should have heeded the apt-warning's advice and not installed updates but then it wouldn't install the xorg updates either. Is there someway to downgrade to a previous grub2 that worked before using apt? Is there a working one in sid/not-even-in-sid-yet distro? Says it STILL isn't fixed in squeeze (and this is not a new problem) I booted in a rescue cd and tried installing testings grub2, didn't work. tried original grub but that coundn't boot the encrypted partition retried grub-pc didn't work (doesn't even write over the MBR) and it gives me option about writing to a partition...

Hello everybody, I'm currently using Debian Lenny 5.0.7 and I tryed to upgrade to Squeeze. I followed the instructions from Debian's Guide: 1. I changed my repositories to squeeze in sources.list 2. # aptitude update 3. # aptitude install apt aptitude dpkg 4. # aptitude safe-upgrade After this last command, the computer kept working for about 7 hours, it consumed 2 gb RAM and 1 gb swap, and in the end aborted with the following message: Code: Select all# aptitude safe-upgrade Resolving dependencies... open: 345011; closed: 575022; defer: 138; conflict: 473 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted I searched around and I found out that this error is somehow related to C/C++ package compilation, but I found nothing specific related to Debian's upgrade. Does anyone know what's going on? | Sounds strange that the system takes so long. The error has to do with memory allocation andindicates that apt made your computer run out of memory... Did you have a fully up-to-date system before you started the process? Also, maybe first maker sure you only have the standard repositories selected, and not any additional ones. Alex.

Good afternoon Debian Community, I have used Debian extensively since the Etch days. Recently I have an opportunity to do some cutting edge 3d stuff. It involves BluRay and 3DS Maya/Blender. Unfortunately, Linux and BluRay are two technologies that sometimes don't fit perfectly. Even with the nearing release of Squeeze.....Debian's libs are too old for me to do some cutting edge stuff with the latest and greatest software. This is not a flame, this is not a critique of the Debian methodology, it's just a statement of fact for me right now. I've never used Sid. I've used Stable and testing over the course of several years. Sid, has the latest stuff I need to do the project at hand. In using Sid there are certain risks I willingly assume, and although I've not experienced it personally, I have heard that the Debian community does not welcome Sid users to the forums with questions when things break and need to be fixed/tweaked. I am asking if the above statement is accurate. If I am not correct in my understanding, please give me the correct viewpoint. I am not a troll, I'm an older guy who's had some health issues such as strokes and knows that if he ventures into Sid, there are going to be time where I will need community support to restore a broken system to operational status without having to do a whole reload. I am no rookie, but I don't pretend to know it all because I surely don't and the strokes haven't helped my memory at all. I'll be looking at the forums, and on occasion, I may need to post. Usually, 95% of the time, whatever I run into I know someone else has run into it and I read/follow their fixes. I have read many blogs and forum posts about the risks associated with Sid. And as long as the community will stand behind me, I am willing to run Sid and help sort out issues with the new packages. What I do not want to do is change to Sid (from Squeeze at current), and then have no support from the community. So before I make any chances to my system, I ask for the communities viewpoint, knowing that I assume the risks and the consequences of using Sid. If there are viewpoints in the community as to how often, and how severe Sid breaks, I would welcome that input as well. Sincerely and Respectfully, Dave | Many people who do not know write many things on the web that are not true. What you have heard about the Debian online community being unwilling to help are untrue. Most Debian people will do anything to help anyone who needs it. Some get short with users who demand that the problem be fixed for them, as if that is their right. You do not seem to fall into that category, so I am sure you will find people more than willing to answer your questions. I suggest that you add the sid sources to sources.list and change your apt configuration to use Default-Release "unstable" update and upgrade and you will have very little trouble. When squeeze goes stable you may experience some instances where packages will be new and have some bugs, but after a month or so those instances will become very few. If you do experience these problems just install the testing version of whatever is giving you trouble and in a day or two the problem will be fixed. |

Hi all, I have been trying to understand the program jigdo-lite which is part and parcel of the package Jigdo-file. This is the description. Download Debian CD images from any Debian mirror Using the jigdo-lite script contained in this package, you can use your nearest "regular" Debian mirror to download Debian CD images, instead of having to use one of the few, slow, overloaded mirrors that offer the images as direct HTTP or FTP downloads. See <http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/> for details. Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a scheme developed primarily to make it easy to distribute huge filesystem images (e.g. CD (ISO9660) or DVD (UDF) images) over the internet, but it could also be used for other data which is awkward to handle due to its size, like audio/video files or large software packages. jigdo tries to ensure that the large file is downloaded in small parts which can be stored on different servers. People who want to download the image do so by telling the jigdo download tool to process one ".jigdo" file; using it, jigdo downloads the parts and reassembles the image. jigdo-file is used to prepare the files for download. Homepage: http://atterer.net/jigdo/ Now I read little bit of jigdo-lite the application and the man and while some things were clear others weren't. I gave the weekly debian-installer link to http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekl ... CD-1.jigdo and it downloaded that as well as it downloaded the template as well.

Solved: Generated a new pair of keys and put the public key on my router... Hi all, I always used my Win XP laptop with putty to connect to my home router when not at home.

Hi all, I was trying to adjust my gnome-terminal actually. Opened up Gnome-terminal and went to Edit > Profile Preferences > General Tab. In the General Tab there is a font option. Tried to change font-sizes but saw there is only 18, 20 and other sizes but no 19. I also saw similar things in many other fonts. To investigate further I tried same and similar fonts in Gedit as well i.e. go to Gedit > Edit > Preferences > Font and Colors and clicked on Editor Font and cycled through almost all the fonts that are on my system. I didn't see it either of them to give an option of 19. In fact saw quite a few odd sizes missing. So is this a short-coming in GNOME or something else. Is it something to do with the resolution perhaps - the current resolution is fixed at 1024*768 . Looking forward to know more. | You should be able to type any value you want into the font size box. |

Update: my solution is in this post: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 72#p307103 For days now I've been trying to work out how to get a "full" debian installer (ie, not a netinst installer but as much as you'd find on say, the first CD) onto a bootable USB stick. Most of the tutorials I've seen work with the netboot installers only. Using UNetBootin The installer works until the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step where it wants to mount a CD drive. Won't accept /dev/sdb or whatever device the USB stick is. Using live-magic with the option to include the installer The installer works until the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step where it wants to mount a CD drive, as above. This confuses me, since why would live-magic include this capability if it didn't work for a USB stick? Using boot.img.gz method There's only enough room in the image for a netinst ISO. I haven't so-far been able to resize the filesystem on that image and still have a bootable USB drive, and therefore I don't even know if it would work if I did. I want to have a USB stick capable of installing a reasonably full (gnome-desktop-environment) install of Debian without needing a network connection. Edit: just found this forum thread where someone else had the same problem and it was never solved (he gave up and installed a different distro). I've also realised this may have been better posted in the installation forum. Any tips? | The new #! Linux uses the Debian installer AFAIK, and their solution is here. |

Hi I inastalled Debain Lenny as a dual boot with ubuntu 10.10. Chose not to install Grub legacy in the mbr or in any partition because I thought grub2 could handle it. All went well, updated grub2 in ubuntu and it found Debian, but when I try to boot into Debain it hangs at - waiting for root filesystem. I've searched, but can't fathom why this is happening, much less how to fix it without just reinstalling it. Sorry if I've missed posts on here too. Any pointer will be very much appreciated. | Ubuntu 10.10 parses UUID as root device instead of /dev/sdx to kernels that have initrds, but Lenny initrd cannot handle them.

I know adding at the beginning is like: 4,8: normal: i# What i want to add contains special characters ( here it is: <br/> ) , in case that matters. I want to add tabs at the beginning of each line, from line 6 to line 12. How? Thanks Edit: thanks to aspnair.

I first had Virtualbox installed in Lenny, before I dist-upgraded to Squeeze some time ago. After the upgrade, however, I can no longer boot iso images from the hard drive in Virtualbox. For instance, I tried booting a Debian Lenny netinstall iso and the Squeeze beta iso, and had the same problem with both of them. They both hung with a black screen and a "_" in the top left corner. The old virtual hard drives boot without a problem. I only have a problem with booting iso files from the psysical hard drive. I don't even know how to troubleshoot this. Anyone else having this problem? | Booting from a "real" CD worked. Not an ideal solution, but it did the job. Thanks! |
When installing from source, you usually need to full fill the dependencies. Are those deps only needed while compiling or to actually run the application? I imagine that the -dev deps only are needed for compile... Am I wrong? | The -dev packages shouldn't be needed after installation. |
I am runing squeeze. "uname -r" returns 2.6.32-5-amd64 As root I issued my usual update and upgrade commands this morning, all of which seemed to go nicely as it always does. I then did “shutdown -r now”, another habit of mine, to reboot the system. Great surprise! I suddenly had a quite colorful splash screen and a matching background on my Grub menu. Well done to the art team! It is fun! Problem: One of my three distros did not make the Grub menu. Oops. So as root I ran “update-grub”. Still no bananas. I also tried "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" It confirmed that "apt-get upgrade" had left nothing behind. Questions: 1. I have a backup GRUB on a USB device. Do I confound things by copying over the grub.cfg from that device? I made this only a few days ago so it still should be current. But that would not get to the heart of the problem. 2. Anybody know any reason why “update-grub” should suddenly fail to pick up an installed distribution? I have not seen this before. Any tie to the new splash screen, etc? 3. Note the missing distro is Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. Hmmmmm, do we have a devious Debian plot? | This happened to me also several times (grub failed to recognize LMDE, so no Debian plot ). Only solution to me was to run update-grub several times, after I think 4-5 times it suddenly recognised LMDE. |
Hi Using Squeeze and a Canon Pixma IP4600 Printer. The color on the printed pages used to be true and now it isn't, it still print is color just not the correct colors....hmmm please don't ask of clarification on this as I am color deficiant or color challenged (what used to be called color blind) which dosen't mean I can't tell the difference between what is on the screen and what is printed It's not the printer as I have tested it with other Linux and a windows system and it's good. I've researched however I cannot find a answer to the problem, can anyone offer any advice? | Hey! Which driver do you use? You will need to install the "color-model". I hope no one tries to kill me for this frowzy declaration.In fact you will need these two packages: cnijfilter-ip4600series_3.00-1_i386.deb + cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb. You can download them via ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/. If you use a 64bit system, try dpkg -i --force-architecture... To install the packages these packages should be installed first: apt-get install libxml1 libglade0 libpng3 libtiff4. Maybe with some other numbers in testing! After installing the packages you should be able to activate your printer. Maybe you will have to fix some other documents to get the right colors. But first try to install the original drivers... wkr Iorek |
Hi All, I am having some good time with Linux Mint Debian Edition, but I want to transform it into Debian Squeeze. In my installation, I've just 7 minty packages, the rest are from debian repo. Please have a detailed look here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=59424, and suggest me debian replacements of those 7 minty packages. Also suggest me how to do it. Thanks. | I wouldn't do it. There are likely to be configuration files that do things differently. Having said that, I did the same thing some years ago. The distro I was using came to an end and I had nowhere else to go. So I changed my sources.list to the most compatible Debian one and slowly did upgrades; a few at a time over several months. I even brought it through a major Debian shift - Stable to new Stable or whichever it was. However, the hitch was always those old configurations and some very specialized programs which became obsolete. That's when I learnt to choose the "Debian Package Manager's Version" when Apt-Get gave me a choice. It was a good exercise and IO learnt a lot but I probably wouldn't again. What I would do now is to save my entire /home partition and then install the distro that I wanted. |
Hi, After a large update of software I can nolonger open Squeeze. I get past the grub screen however before the gdm starts up the screen goes blank and stays that way. I have only one kernel showing on the grub screen. I tried in Recovery Mode: Ctrl+Alt +F keys with effect and startx returns a blank screen, this is why I though to try loading another kernel to see if that helps. I'm using a Acer Laptop. My question is: Is it possible while in Recovery Mode to load/install another kernel os that when I get back to the grub screen I have another kernel to try to boot into? | Bulkley wrote: That's why I gave up on proprietary drivers.

I have a Truecrypt-encrypted Windows [system] partition, that I want to be opened and mounted automatically (using a keyfile) when I log into Debian, since it is also encrypted and I don't want to type two passphrases. It think this could be done with LUKS. With TC I probably have to go with the CLI, but haven't figured it out yet. And I can't add a keyfile to the volume using the GUI. In order to mount the volume I have to tick the Mount partition using system encryption (preboot authentication) checkbox, or otherwise I get Code: Select allIncorrect password or no TrueCrypt volume found. And same when I try to add a keyfile. Or did I overestimate TC, and trying to achieve the impossible? | Fsck, it is impossible. TrueCrypt User Guide (for Windows): Keyfiles are currently not supported for system encryption So maybe I can use the CLI tool, to supply the passphrase? NO! Now this should have worked: Code: Select alltruecrypt -t -k "" --password=MYPASSWORD --protect-hidden=no /dev/sda1 /media/truecrypt1 ...only the CLI tells me to GTFO and use the GUI Code: Select allWrong mount mode, incorrect keyfile(s) and/or password, or not a TrueCrypt volume. Note: If you are attempting to mount a partition located on an encrypted system drive without pre-boot authentication or to mount the encrypted system partition of an operating system that is not running, you can do so by selecting 'Options >' > 'Mount partition using system encryption'. |
I am using my netbook with Squeeze when I travel. I recently started getting a msg "Network discovery service has been disabled" or something to that effect. And many websites have been blocked as well. I discovered that I could remove avahi-daemon to fix it and I have done so. Unfortunately, the websites are still blocked even though I no longer get the msg. I could not even post this msg here with Linux and had to boot with Windows to do it. It is a shame.

I want to prevent grub-pc from automatically creating links to other operating systems on my laptop. Whenever there is a kernel update, grub.cfg ends with links pointing at my Windows 7 installation - I want to get rid of those links. At the moment I am doing that by manually editing the grub.cfg file and it has always worked that way. I tried to force grub-pc to avoid creating links to Windows by renaming the relevant scripts in /etc/grub.d Code: Select alledbarx@edbarx-pc2:/etc/grub.d$ ls 00_header 05_debian_theme 10_linux 20_linux_xen _30_os-prober _30_otheros 40_custom 41_custom README As you can see I added an underscore to the files that I don't want to be executed.

Over at linuxquestions came up a question about installing from pendrive. I a) am in the mood of buying something like a laptop/netbook or such without cd-rom and b)just was curious. I don't get it running. I am following this how-to: http://www.linuxconfig.org/install-debi ... mory-stick which was posted by craigevil (over there). It seems easy enough. But: I tried all i might think of: no luck. CD not found. Same thing: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i ... 03.html.en I searched this board (forums.debian) and found this: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... lit=initrd where mzilikazi says one would need: initrd.gz and vmlinuz too. Would that solve my problem or is there another secret trick. If there is why ain't it mentioned in the how-to? I really am tired of downloading, zcat-ing, copying, rebooting and all to no avail. The funny part is this: I had a crunchbang-iso stored on my harddisk. That one was recognized by the installer, i rebooted and -what a surprise- had a crunchbang installation.

Hello fellow Debian users! ^_^ I'm running 32bit Lenny on an older Dell Dimension 2400 running the 2.6.26 Kernel. This box was mainly used to play movies for my son over the network (most are encoded by me using xvid and lame). One of my kids wanted to use the computer to watch videos on youtube. I attempted to install the flashplugin-nonfree from the backports and it kept timing out on downloading the package, so I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. I rebooted and tried the flashplugin-nonfree again and finally got youtube videos to play but there was no sound. I assumed it was a permission issue, so I switched users and attempted to play some of the movies which I've played before and currently the video plays fine but the audio sounds very ugly. I attempted to play an mp3 using mpg123 from the command line and I get mostly static. You can hear some sound but it's all jumbled and there is a lot of static. I have a creative soundblaster card using the EMU10k1 driver. Everything was working fine before I started mucking with the flashplugin and I'm afraid something I "upgraded" may have caused my issue. Any suggestions? Is there a way I can remove any sound related drivers etc and attempt to reinstall them? I attempted to run sudo alsaconf but afterwards, it acts like there is no sound card. a reboot resolves that issue as I didn't save any changes, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've become spoiled by all of the newer distros which detect all of my hardware and everything is configured for me. Thanks in advanced! -Kruz p.s. If there's any output that anyone would like to see, let me know and I'll post it here. | do a "cat /proc/asound/cards" It SHOULD look something like 0: [Audigy ] "bunch of numbers IRQ: "some number" if you see come other card listed first like "pcspkr" or "Intel / NVidia HDA audio" (these can either come from on board sound or video cards with HDMI ) you will have to edit a file to make sure it never gets listed as sound card 0 on boot. we can come to that later if it is the problem. Also try alsamixer, a lot of the time PCM gets cranked way to high ( especially when using pulseaudio - pulse is crap ) |
After following some suggestions I've found searching the web, I have installed VLC to handle these files, but was only rewarded with half success as I was only able to put my system reading the sound portion of the files, with no image. Is this an "issue" of Debian (I'm running Lenny) with the available codecs being a little outdated, which will be solved in the next generation of the OS, or can this be a bug? | mkv is only a container. Certainly the applications in Lenny can handle the matroska container. Where it gets more interesting is in the contents of the container. If it's h.264 at 1080p or maybe even 720p then the applications in Lenny may struggle to decode it easily. Lenny is quite old now and approaching the end of its life as Debian's stable release. Some important multimedia applications such as mplayer, libxine or ffmpeg are showing their age when it comes to HD, as are the video drivers. If you want really good support for multimedia in Lenny you need to look at http://www.debian-multimedia.org and you should also be looking at upgrading either to Lenny + backports or to Squeeze (testing). I have Lenny on my headless server and have no complaints, but for my desktop and for my dedicated video encoding/transcoding machine it's testing for various reasons but a very important one is up to date multimedia support. I have no trouble with any non-DRM'd file and even with integrated nvidia graphics I can play back 720p (and even 1080p if not using the PC for anything else). |
I'm thinking it might be a PuTTY issue, or maybe just a windows issue, but when I ssh into my linux seedbox and run mc from windows it has a bunch of funny characters , but when I ssh in from a linux computer it looks fine. mc, via putty on winXP http://debe17.com/images/2010-10-22-094 ... 4_wixp.png mc, via open-ssh-client on debian http://debe17.com/images/2010-10-22-094 ... _scrot.png Any suggestions on how to fix how mc looks in putty on windows? Cheers | Ah, a wee bit more searching & reading (as well as contemplating while writing the OP) I've sorted this out. It is a PuTTY issue, and how it translates character sets.

You can do git add * (add everything changed in this directory) or even git add . (which adds anything changed in the current directory and also any sub-directories). It's not always smart, though, since you may add someting you don't want to. In this case, an alternative is git add file*.

Or is running a "pull origin master" before each session the way to keep it sane? If it's your own directory (on multiple machines), then git pull before starting work each time is a good idea. If it's someone else's repo, and you aren't sure that you want to accept all their changes, you can do git fetch first. Unline pull, fetch brings everything from the remote repo, but it doesn't immediately merge it into your repo. Finally, I cannot recommend Pro Git highly enough. You can buy a paper copy, but the author has also made the entire book available for free. In this case, the sections on "Working with Remotes" would be helpful maybe. |

I have a relatively new Squeeze installation I have been living with for several weeks now and it is working extremely well.

Experts, Please during # apt-get update and # apt-get ugrade, I get this screen? What to do with this? Code: Select all cron (3.0pl1-110) unstable; urgency=low In the past, long-running jobs caused certain MTAs to time out, resulting in no output being sent. Justin Pryzby's patch to fix this has been included. It may be worth to note that Debian's default MTA exim was not susceptible to this. Tasks generating a lot of output no longer die with when no MTA is installed. crontab(1) now refuses any crontabs missing a newline before EOF. In the past, this has been the source of much confusion -- especially because the upstream code supposed to detect this was severely broken. cron(8) now recovers from broken symlinks in /etc/cron.d. This fix may cause power management issues (disk spin-ups), feedback welcome.

Dear All, I often happen to give skype-to-landline (or skype-to-mobile) phone calls for work (calls to my boss who does not have an internet connection when in exotic places). Most of this conversations are work related and, having been granted permission by my boss, I would like to record them to an audio file instead of frantically taking notes on a piece of paper while he is talking. Does anyone know of a way in which I can achieve this? Cheers larry77 | you could probably use audacity to record them. its a very nice audio program. you'll want to tell it to record mixer, but not all sound cards let you do this - that may depend on your sound card. if you can't select the mixer, there are a couple workarounds. first, you could try to put a microphone directly up to your speakers and record from there. this may result in somewhat poor quality, and there is the risk of that horrible ringing noise. As a second solution, you could get an audio splitter and a male-to-male audio cable (6 inches would be fine). audio splitters usually have 1 male end, 2 female ends and can cost less than $2 on ebay. the male end would go to the wave-out port. your speakers/headphones would go on one female end, and the male to male cable would be connected to the 2nd female end and the wave-in port. This way, your sound is looping back into your computer, while you can still hear out of your speakers. Then, you can use audacity to record through wave/line and you will get very clear audio. |
Hello all, does anyone know of a good subtitling tool? I want to create hardsubs for a .mkv file, I tried converting it to .avi using ffmpeg to use avidemux and merge the video with a subtitle file, but the resolution gets really messed up after conversion. Anyways I don't want and additional subtitle file, but permanent hardsubs on the video file. thanks. | hmm... aren't most subtitles just specialized text files? i don't really know a whole lot about how they work but i'd suggest that you can just look at a template subtitle somewhere online and see if you can do that yourself. i also found the packages "aegisub" and "gaupol" in synaptic, which are related to editing subtitles. gaupol seems to specifically target video subtitles |
Hello, so I've got noip.com is supposedly redirecting requests to my machine but my work laptop, via cricket wireless, says it's done loading the page and nothing is there.

Hi all, Been using Debian Squeeze for a few days now and I think it's a SUPERB distro. Everything works perfectly. To my topic: "Software-center" hangs forever when I try to browse non-installed packages. A search on this forum shows that it's probably a non-solvable bug. No problem, I use Synaptic and am very willing to learn CLI apt-get commands. But for now, uninstalling software-center through Synaptic also wants to uninstall gnome (I assume "all of it"?), and I'm not going to agree on that! Any ideas? Thanks! | use a terminal, su to root, and post the ouput of the command apt-get remove software-center -s |
