View 6 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Multiple Versions Of A Same Package?
Aug 22, 2010On my lenny+backports+debianmultimedia desktop I see two annoyances. 1st: There are multiple versions of same packages. But while attempting to remove the older versions I see apt-get is removing some essential packages. Is there any way to kill this duplicacy of packages? Here is a list of packages whose multiple instances are installed:
xulrunner-1.9.0.19-3
xulrunner-1.9.1.11-1~bpo50+1
cpp-4:4.3.2-2
cpp-4.3-4.3.4-6~bpo50+1
g++-4:4.3.2-2
g++-4.3-4.3.4-6~bpo50+1
[Code]...
Note: Just for sanity's sake I want to remove the extra versions and disable that error message, except that I don't see any problem.
Debian Installation :: Several Versions Of Linux On One PC
Nov 11, 2014Is it correct to assume that I can install many versions of Linux on a PC, provided for each Linux I set up a separate ext4 partition, and GRUB will let me select which OS to load? If so then:
1. I do not have to set up a separate SWAP partition for each Linux, do I? Will one SWAP serve all the OS?
2. If I wanted my /home directory to reside on a separate partition so that my data will not be lost if I reinstall Linux, do I have to create a separate /home partition for every Linux? Or they can share one?
Debian Installation :: Transition To New Versions?
Mar 10, 2010what is involved in upgrading from one major version of Debian to another. When your version is no longer supported, can you just get the DVDs for the current version and run the installer and it detects this is a previous version and only upgrades things as necessary?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Different Package Versions From Same Repository
Jan 10, 2016I noticed today when I was offered by synaptic to update some packages that there seemed to be two versions available from the same repository (stable). How could that happen?
For instance if I check package "xscreensaver" installed version is 5.30-1+b1 and versions available are;
5.34-1 (testing)5.30-1+deb8u1(stable)5.30-1+b1 (stable)
Below is my /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm not sure why, but rows 1 and 6 are identical except for stable beeing replaced by jessie. Row 3 and 7 are almost same too. Because jessie=stable (at the moment), is there any point with having duplicated rows in sources.list?
Code:
Select alldeb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable-updates main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ jessie contrib non-free main <--- Same as first row?
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates contrib non-free main

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Difference Between LTS Versions And Other Versions?
Jun 30, 2011I'm not to clear on the difference between LTS versions and other versions, but think I may want to go with LTS. Can someone tell me if my thinking is correct given the following situation: I have some very cool, but very expensive software installed with a group license from my school, a school which I am not going to be attending for too much longer. So I want to go as long as possible without reinstalling Ubuntu, because once the product is licensed it will be licensed until I reinstall Ubuntu (or I uninstall the program). So I think this is going to require me keep the Ubuntu version I install as long as possible.
So in this case, should I go with 10.04LTS or should I just install Natty Narwhal and keep that as long as possible? It looks like 10.04LTS will be "supported" longer, but I'm not exactly clear on all that "supported" entails. Presumable it means security and software updates will be available for 10.04LTS for much longer than 11.x versions? So I'm thinking I should go with 10.04LTS
Is my thinking correct in going with 10.04LTS? Edit: It was pointed out that this would be against my contractual agreements. Which I suppose is probably true.

Feb 27, 2011I just wanted to ask about official opinion or policy concerning newer versions of KDE. Is 4.6 still so buggy or unstable to be included in experimental? What steps are going to be made concerning KDE and what when? I don't like GNOME, KDE 3.5 is out of the game now in 6.0 and KDE 4.4 is IMHO all but mature and finished. So I am not sure what to do now, Kubuntu is buggy and don't like it but they have 4.6...
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Restricted To Debian Versions Of Things Like Perl, MySQL?
Dec 13, 2010As I mentioned on another thread, I have 2 Ubuntus - Jaunty and Meerkat - as separate drives on my secondary IDE channel. I am removing Jaunty. Meerkat blows it away. And is certainly my preferred OS. However I am looking for a replacement for Jaunty that is more flexible in certain key areas than Ubuntu appears to be.I dont want to be restricted to Debian versions of things like Perl, MySQL, PHP and others. I can run LAMPP, but I would prefer to compile and have the versions of my choice as part of a main test system (apart from Meerkat that is).
I have had enough nightmares in Jaunty with things getting broken and spiralling out of control. I want a distro that doesnt rely on the GUI and its attendant utilities, but can run them when called. Meerkat is stable and has resisted me breaking it so far, but I do not want to push my luck. I have too much time invested in it. I intend to use Meerkat as my primary system on the machine, but want an alternative to *PLAY* with.
Debian Installation :: Etch Install Just Started Warning About Untrusted Versions
Mar 17, 2010I'm doing a fully automated install of Etch, installing the standard system task. I'm using PXE boot with a preseed file.
I do this a lot, and I've not had problems before. This morning, it's stuck at 5% on "Select and install software" saying "Please wait...". The log on console #4 says:
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
[snip]
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
I installed a system yesterday without any problems, so I wonder if there's a recent problem with the mirrors I'm using. My /target/etc/apt/sources.list contains:
deb [url]
deb [url]
So it looks like either the UK mirror or security.debian.org.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Different Versions Of Libdc1394?
Oct 15, 2010I'm working on a project that uses libdc1394 to interface with Point-Grey Firewire cameras. We build the code on Ubuntu 8, Timesys, and Ubuntu 9 primarily. We usually use the package manager for most dependencies on the Ubuntu's, and the Timesys installation seems to be compiled from source.
Now here's the part that confuses me. I can't figure out what version of libdc1394 is on the Timesys installation. Looking at the library files, I can find a file named libdc1394.so.20.0.0. But these are the header files that I have:
dc1394_control.h dc1394_register.h dc1394_vendor_avt.h
dc1394_conversions.h dc1394_utils.h
They're in a folder named dc1394. From what I see on the Ubuntu 8 package (which is libdc1394 version
1), I only see dc1394_control.h. And it's in a libdc1394 folder.
From what I see on the Ubuntu 9 computer, which uses libdc1394 version 2.2 (that's the version in the repository), I have a dc1394 folder and then an include directory that looks like the copy I find here:[URL]..
I can't find anything about a major change between version 2.0 and 2.2. From the sourceforge page, it looks like the 2.0 version is similar to the Ubuntu 9 version. it seems I have 3 different versions of the library? I understand why Ubuntu 8 and Ubuntu 9, but not why the copy that we have installed on Timesys is different.
Once again, I'm decently sure the one on Timesys was compiled from source. I wasn't around when they did that though, so I don't know for certain.

Jan 6, 2010I am currently running CentOS 5.3 which includes the gcc 4.1.2 compiler. I need to compile a Realtek 8139 NIC driver for VMware ESXi.
The GPL sources and documentation from VMware show that the source file 8139too.c needs to be modified and re-compiled to run with the small busy-box ESXi kernel, and it *very* specifically states that gcc 3.2 is to be used.
I have the gcc 3.2 rpm but am afraid to force it on/over the 4.1.2 install. To be honest, I have not even checked dependencies yet.
Where do I start to get both versions of the compiler on the same box without them stepping all over each other.
