I'm an undergraduate Physics student, and I would like to install a software for helping me with relatively simple tasks, such as calculating integrals, plotting graphs and performing some general numerical calculations. Can someone indicate me a good software for these purposes, preferably an official Debian package?
View 11 RepliesI have a huge set of events in Mathematica that I need to react to, and it's not practical always checking for it, especially since events are randomly distributed in time.So I wanted to add a simple sound to remind me to go check the event. I wanted to use Beep[] but I get no results, in fact, I didn't realize till now that mathematica is making no sounds whatsoever.I use Debian Squeeze Stable and have no trouble with any other application using sound.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use Mathematica 7.0 through my school's SSH server. This involves:
-loading their font server via "xset fp+ tcp/c1.ucalgary.ca:7100"
-connecting to the SSH server via "ssh -X useruser@servername.ca"
-entering my password Then I choose to run Mathematica via ". use mathematica 7" then to load the GUI "mathematica".
Sometimes, and only sometimes, the screen goes to the error in the attached picture, stays there for about 5 seconds, brings me to the login screen. When I log in again, all of my applications that were running, open folders, and my terminal windows are closed.
I am wondering if there's a better alternative than jigdo. I was trying to help out and choose what is recommended but this jigdo crap is ridiculous. Didn't work for me and the primitive bad design of it is a waste of time.
Maybe Debian should consider joining today's technology. There are supposed to be hybrid isos you can download and even Ubuntu is finally joining the camps doing that.But, there's nothing on Debian web pages mentioning 'hybrid isos.' Who uses jigdo anyway?There's no way of entering the url or any instructions that make it intuitive. Get rid of the jigdo and do something different....
Over the past few months Nomachine's NX Server has deteriorated to the point where it's unusable, as detailed in this thread for one machine. On my other machine it works, but I cannot do apt-get dist-upgrades as it spews forth messages like, "insserv: Starting nxsensor depends on stop-bootlogd and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!".So I give up on them.

Now each package that depends on lib-mesa cannot be installed. How can i define my package as alternative to lib-mesa, so i can install those packages ? Is there a way i can add my package as an alternative in the package dependencies(the ones that depends on lib-mesa)?

With my Lenny (ext3), I use partimage to backup the / partition, and rsync to backup my /home files. Now, I found out that partimage does not work with ext4. Are there other GNU packages I can use to backup my / partition?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop installed with Debian Squeeze and ALL my files are stored there, and is always on. Everyone has an account on this computer.
Each of us have laptops (Debian/openSUSE with KDE4) and sometimes need to use the files that is stored on the desktop. Currently, we are transferring the required files via usb drives.
All the computers are connected to a wireless router that connects us to the internet.
So, to enable all laptops can access the desktop's file, should I
- install smb to all the computers or
- install ssh for the task.
- or are there any better way.
Need to ensure,
- security as ALL my personal info is on the desktop
- easy to use and prefer gui than console as I have young kids using the system.
I noticed that WineHQ doesn't exist in the Debian repositories. Or is there a Wine alternative in the repositories? If not, how can I install the latest stable version of Wine ?

I currently run a home sever using windows server 2008. On it I'm using VMware to run 2 virtual machines (currently running CentOS (which is Red Hat based) as web and mail servers. It's not a big setup, we only host our personal websites and a couple for some friends. Although server 2008 handles resouces much better than server 2003, it's still running windows, which as we know is far more inferior to a Linux server. I'm trying to convince the husband to let me run everything on Debian, but he wants to run it on Red Hat (which okay, isn't bad but our household is devided. We have long running arguments because he likes his boxes Red Hat based running KDE, and I like my Debian distros running Gnome!)
The host server is running on a standard pc box, it's got a 2.5 gigahertz dual core processor and 3 gig of ram, almost one TB storage. (don't ask why I'm including this drastically important info!) I want to run the entire network on Debian. So that would be the main host running Debian and the two virtual machines also. The host itself would need to run as a file and app server for our home network and the two vertuals as web and mail servers. (we run about 12 domains three of which are under heavy usage with Mysql databases, so we run two servers so we can dedicate more rescources to the virtual server that sucks the most juice.) I was wondering how Debian handles virtualisation and what program(s) would be a good alternative to VMware?

I want to create some scheduled jobs in a CentOS server. These jobs are simple and repeatable, but the scheduling is complicated. I want a series of jobs to start every day but Monday, and not on the last day of the month. These jobs depend on software execution outside the server ( a Windows application) so if the Windows app fails, I need to temporarily suspend the cron jobs so I can straighten out the Windows server.
I've looked over some cron alternatives and nothing seems suitable. Am I stuck with cron and the limitations of crontab, or are there some programmatic things I can do in cron that I don't know about?
