Debian :: Automated Reboot & Commands On A Distro?
Nov 4, 2010
I've read through your forums and done a bit of googling to see that an automated reboot at a certain time has something to do with cron jobsMy second task is then to run commands like the following command when the machine starts up again...screen -t s5 ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27025 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xx +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 11 -tickrate 100 -autoupdateit seems to me I need to edit the rd.local but when I open my file I don't really understand where I need to insert my command

I have gotten my touchpad and wireless working after a day of research and help on this forum. The bad news is that I need to enter these commands every time I boot up. I know there is a way to load these commands into the startup. But I am not quite sure where to put them.
# modprobe lib80211
# cd hybrid_wl
# insmod wl.ko
# ifconfig eth1 up
# synclient tapbutton1=1
# synclient tapbutton2=1
# synclient tapbutton3=1

I'm still kinda noob in linux and I've installed Debian Squeeze (LXDE version) and it boots itself (the whole computer) at midnight from saterday to sunday. This is somewhat troubling me as I'm trying to sleep at that time. I've googled about this but I couldnt find very helpful information.

Anyone know how to make a distro like Pinguy OS? How do I rebrand it and add stuff like Pinguy OS. Or should I base it on Pinguy OS and remove stuff I don't want in Pinguy OS.

The most recent flavour of Linux I've been using has been Sidux, but the update cycle in sid is a little too fast for my liking.
What I'm looking for:
- Debian Based
- KDE 4.X
- Ideally it would still be able to use debian archives (ie like sidux)
- Updates less often than sid, so you aren't a long way behind if you miss a week, but often enough to still have up to date versions of software.

I need to reinstall my distro, MEPIS, but--mostly just because I feel restless--I'd like to try another Debian-based distro. It has to be Debian-based because I'm comfortable enough with apt-get that I don't want to learn another package management system; and I want to avoid Ubuntu and distros based on it, because I've long since decided I don't like the decreased user control in Ubuntu. What are my choices? If I want to leave MEPIS and don't want Ubuntu, I don't really know what there is other than Debian itself. I don't know if I feel like tolerating the supposedly greater difficulty of Debian, but I would otherwise expect to feel at home in it, since MEPIS is based on it. And does the Debian Project still make a version small enough to fit on one CD?

An amazing machine with huge and allmighty capabilities 380 MHz AMD-K6 gratefully powered with 64MB of ram
Could it own Debian? which Debian distro/cdrom would you recommend? Just for a internet, got with wifi running and surfing with X.
I guess that kde 1.0 or kde 2.0 was running very fast on it.
From scratch or can I get an already sources.list for old pc with old stable stuffs - debian ?
I found some debs there, might I use them? and concerning the cdrom?

I am considering switching from Ubuntu to another distro.
Is it possible to crossgrade from Ubuntu to Debian rather than reinstalling? Has anyone ever done that before? Are there any instructions for this anywhere?

I have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).

The panel plugin from xfce4-mixer has a bug:s icon doesn't update as the volume is changed. This bug has already been reported.One curious thing about it is that, if you right click on the volume icon on the panel, go to 'Settings' (or 'Properties', I don't know, mine is in Portuguese) and then close the window that pops on the screen, the icon is updated.Is it possible to open and close the settings window automatically with a bash script? Like this, I could associate this script with the volume keys of my keyboard, so that the icon is updated as the the volume is changed.

How can one have commands in cron? I do not know much but do know that there is something called cron. I read the manpage[quote=Cron Debian Man page]cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)[/quote] and it says to make files in /var/spool/cron/crontabsWhile I went to /var/spool/cron/crontabs I did not find anything there. I just want to tell cron that it runs $sudo aptitude autoclean at some time in the background. Is this possible? If yes, then how ?

Is there any easy way (i.e. command or file to view) to find out what distribution I am running? I know that my /etc/apt/sources.list has entries for stable, testing and unstable but I hear that (as of the 30th) "stable" has become Sarge. So if I performed an apt-get update then an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday should I assume that I am now running Sarge?

I have been unlucky searching Google and this site concerning this and hope that someone on here has either done this before or could point me in the right direction. I have a computer on my network that I want to use as a local repository for apt. I've got the set of Debian Lenny 5.04 CD's and would like to know how to put all of the packages from those CD's onto this computer and then use it as a local source for my Debian computers to get packages from. The CD's appear to hold all of the packages in the folder /pool if that helps at all.

I'm messing around with a new install of Debian 8, trying to get a sandbox of Oracle DB 12c up and running in an ESXi environment.
open-vm-tools was giving me troubles (resizing the window didn't make the resolution change), and Oracle DB was fighting me with environmental variables.
Well, while I was troubleshooting the Oracle issue, I needed to reboot. When it came back up, I couldn't log in. When I attempt to log in using known working credentials, the screen goes black like it should, and then loads the login screen again.
I SSH into the box and try to run commands, but every single command I run returns "Command not found" including "ls" "su" "cd".
I'm able to boot into recovery mode, where the commands work under root, but I'm not sure what to fix....

Two nights ago I was trying to diagnose what was wrong with my internet connection. I couldn't get web pages to load, IRC and ssh weren't connecting, and email wasn't downloading (I still use POP3). I didn't know what to use to check my internet connection. I did a ping, but I didn't know how to interpret the results. So without the internet, I was totally blind.
Are there documents anywhere which install with Debian which I can search offline when my internet connection dies?

last time i used debian it was missing some commands that were necessary for the stuff i was trying to install on itdebian has no software repositories (not as extensive as ubuntu but i guess thats why its so user friendly) and finding depencancies that are up to date is really hard seeing as though that the ubuntu site says is out of dateone of the commands that i really wished was on there was the MAKE commands like make
make installnd i guess there are other make commands but is there an easy way (i am more than willing to try it the hard way if i have to)

I use Debian 6 as my main distro, installed on partition 1 (sda1) on my laptop. After installing a second distro on sda2 everything still worked fine and both distros show up on the boot up screen. After installing a 3rd distro on sda3; suddenly my cursor (in Debian) is frozen and I can't use either the touch-pad or the 'left and right clickers'. It seems unlikely that this would have anything to do with installing another distro but on the other hand it is a bit of a coincidence...or? The cursor works on the 2nd OS. The 3rd has not yet showed up on the boot screen (I want to do a 'update-grub from within Debian)
