Debian :: Centralize Linux Offline Documentation
Oct 2, 2015
I am using Debian 8, fully updated as of this writing.
I want to find a package or some way to get all my linux offline documentation in one place, be it through the web browser or an application, in the official reppos or not does not matter. I've already tried doc-central with apache2 but I get all sorts of error messages and something about no D-bus daemon started, i dont understand, because I;ve installed d-bus service latest version after the error. when I started doc-central correctly through almost blind luck (only once) I did not get any docs just the welcome message.
Is there an alternative to doc-central, a GUI type solution would be preferable. or at least some advice to properly configure doc-central and maybe that d-bus problem, because I clearly did something wrong, I have even tried to write the configuration through an example file for doc-central, but that did not do much, I've read that DocCentral is unstable so maybe I going at it the wrong way.

I saw this forum post and I want to try it out so I went here and copied and pasted the following text into a file called test.patch.
Code:
---
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 2
drivers/tty/tty_io.c | 1
include/linux/sched.h | 19 ++++
init/Kconfig | 12 +++
kernel/fork.c | 5 +
kernel/sched.c | 25 ++++--
kernel/sched_autogroup.c | 140 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Code]....
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file linux-2.6/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.rej I'm not so good with patching so I am sure it is probably something easy.

I have more than 150 Linux desktop computer in my office IT setup.
I want to configure LDAP centralize network authentication for all the desktop computer.
My requirement is below mentioned.
The LDAP server will only authenticate the desktop computer at the log-in time when the user start computer.
The home directory of all the user should be create in their desktop local computer not in the LDAP server.
And flexibility of user log-in for every desktop. (any user can log-in any computer with his/her username and password)and the home directory will create automatically in the local desktop computer automatically the moment any user will log-in to any computer in the network and the LDAP server will authenticate for desktop-network log-in in to the computer.

I am creating a documentation (in English) where I need to write some Sanskrit words. My OS is debian-5.0.4. I have texlive-latex3 and have installed latex-sanskrit. Problem is what US-English keyboard will produce the Sanskrit letters. My 'Latex-A Document Preparation System' by Leslie Lamport gives the commands for some Western languages - Greek, Swedish, French. Is any document/manual available to suit my purpose?

There seems to be a lot of documentation automatically installed on my hard drive, is there a unified browser for all of the -doc packages? Is it just the man command? What about the html documentation that comes with python packages? Is there an easy way to browse these? As it stands, all I know how to do is navigate to the directory and open the html file explicitly, it just seems like there might be an easier way. I've googled around and don't know exactly what I'm looking for.

While I've been using Linux for a little while now, I have only recently been getting into setting up and using a server at home (in part because until recently I only had ONE computer at home). I have heard of LDAP and OpenLDAP, but I am not sure if this is the best tool to do the following. Centralize logins and passwords for all of the computers at home, so I only have to change/manage one place. Since I keep installing Linux Distros it would be nice if I didn't have to add each person, individually each time.
Provide single sign-on authentication for the user so when they go to the Samba server they don't have to do another login, but they are limited in what they can see. Basically I don't want the kids being able to see *MY* files
- Works with Linux (various) and Windows (Windows 7 more than XP)
- Works with desktop and laptop
- Be able to, possibly, pass this authentication to the web server so likewise do not need to log into the web server after logging into the computer.
- (optional) be able to set up a script to run automatically to either map network drives or mount samba directories based on the user being logged in (smb://user/<username>) and/or backup the system.
I say optional because if it can that is great, but if it cannot then it isn't a show-stopper. Like I said, I am very new to servers and networking and do not know where to start regarding this. Right now I have a basic (too open) file server and a web server just beginning to be developed (working on Drupal). Not only do I need to figure out what/where to research about the server settings but also setting up the client-side of things.

I'm trying to follow the exim documentation to allow suffixes on mailboxes for all users. For example, if user@domain is a mailbox, I want all mail directed to user-*@domain to be delivered user@domain. I've got the split-config-files option and have edited /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/600 to include local_part_suffix lines as follows:

I'm planning to centralize users and passwords and also create controls for user access to some equipment, for example, Linux Servers, Switches, routers and firewalls. In case of failure of the link between the ACS and AD or equipment to the ACS, this device would use local username and password.
At the moment, my AD structure is a Microsoft, Cisco ACS servers and Linux Standalone. I wish that both linuxs servers and network equipment were authorized by Cisco ACS on the accounts that are in Microsoft AD.
The configuration of the Cisco ACS to use the AD is done and no problems, the network equipment is OK too, but am having difficulties configuring the server for this solution.

For testing I made a debian 8 dvd 1 installation on an usb stick. I selected desktop gui gnome and lxde. Both work. An ethernet 100mb cabel connection works. I can open iceweasel an surf websites.
If I open synaptic package manager and select vlc for installation or press 'mark all upgrades' I get this message. Insert disk debian gnulinux 8 jessie official dvd bin in drive.
Synaptic does not try to get packages from the internet.
Is a debian 8 dvd 1 installation an off line installation? The package system will not connect to the internet?

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?

For a project I have had to migrate from FreeBSD to Linux and I have decided to choose Debian because I have had good experiences with it.However, since my main development machines are completely offline I have run into a little bit of trouble.Is there a way to specify a .deb package and get a tool to recursively list (and fetch) all dependency packages that are not included in the base install and put them in a folder?
I do not like to be tied to the internet (Never a good idea) and so this would save me a heap of trouble (and journeys to an online PC)Once I have these folders containing packages, then I can simple cd into one of them, dpkg -i the relevent .deb and not have to rely on the DVDs or worry about connecting to an online repositoryLife will be good!Suffice to say FreeBSD can do this well so I strongly believe that Debian will be able to aswell but since it is not normally done, I havn't found much on google about it

How do we perform offline patch management with Debian? This isn't a question about which tools to use on Debian to load the patch once it is on a CD and transferred to said offline computer via sneaker net. More, how do I keep said offline (or strictly firewalled) computer in synch?
Pardon me while I make a comparison to Solaris. I am in no way stating Solaris is better. It just happens to be my baseline of experience.In Solaris, I can download Cluster Patch Updates (CPU). So if I build a Solaris box with a CD that is a year or more old, I can download the latest CPU and get the box patched up to date, and from that point on sneaker-net patches as they appear.

I have Debien 7.8 Wheezy installed on my laptop, along with the GNOME desktop. As I absolutely hate the new GNOME layout I want to install MATE so I can get the classic GNOME 2 desktop back. But I have no internet connection here at home (I only have my phone for internet and I can't tether it).
So I'm wondering if it's possible for me to download all the packages and install MATE offline? I don't even know what all the packages are that I need.I can download the packages with my phone with no issue.
I installed Debian on my laptop with the Debian DVDs in case you were wondering. when I downloaded the Debian DVD ISOs, I only saw three ISO files, but the documentation said that it's a 10 DVD set. What happened to the other 7 DVD ISOs?

This is the command line switch I am using:
Code: Select allwget -p -k -e robots=off -U 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070802 SeaMonkey/1.1.4' -r www.website.com
For some reason it seems to be downloading too much and taking forever for a small website. It seems that it was following alot of the external links that page linked to.
But when I tried:
Code: Select allwget -E -H -k -K -p www.website.com
It downloaded too little. How much depth I should use with -r? I just want to download a bunch of recipes for offline viewing while staying at a Greek mountain village. Also I don't want to be a prick and keep experimenting on people's webpages.

I have learnt that the network locked huawei modems may be unlocked to use any sim card bu getting a special unlock code and it should ask for it when a "foreign" SIM card is inserted. This procedure works well in Windows, but in Linux where I use wvdial, I dont get prompted for this unlock code. Does anyone know how to insert the unlock code in Linux using any Linux tool (GAMMU/GNOKII/Minicom etc)?

Is 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?

I have Lenovo IdeaPad z510 laptop.My HDD SMART status is currently "failure". As my laptop is under warranty I can return it to lenovo. So I want to backup as much data as possible (everything is readable). I currently have 3 operating systems: linux xubuntu 14.10, debian 8 and windows 8.1 (triple-boot?). I want to back up only my current debian installation. There are 3 partitions for debian: root (about 50GB), home (>200GB) and swap. I know that I can backup the whole partition using:
Code: Select alldd -if=/dev/sdaX -of=/locaton/of/backup -something
And create .tar file with the whole home directory.
how to restore it later. In /etc/fstab there are references to UUIDs, and as I understand, with new HDD these UUIDs would be different. And possibly the whole partition table would be different. And how would I restore GRUB?I can't make full image of my disk simply because I don't have disk to store it on.Is it possible to create backup on my current debian installation without actually making full HDD backup? Would it work if I would install debian on new disk, then from LiveCD overwrite it with my backup and modify /etc/fstab to match new partitions?

W10 connecting with RDP to Linux server? If I would install xrdp onto the Linux server would it work for me?

I have been using Debian 8 with XFCE for the past 9 months.
Recently I had a simple job of going through a bunch of receipts (several hundred) and rotating them so that they were all portrait. Easy you may say? Linux fails dramatically.
My only requirements are a visual tool where I can see the image and then a button or even better a keyboard shortcut so I can rotate clockwise/anti-clockwise and move onto the next.
Here are my attempts at this:
ATTEMPT 01 - GIMP
GIMP works but you have to load it up everytime, and the save as feature tries to push XCF format onto you. I just want to overwrite it.
ATTEMPT 02 - GTHUMB
GThumb works as well, but its horribly slow, pops up an annoying image distortion prompt everytime you do it, and it moves the image you've just rotated to the end of the filmstrip and takes you there with it. Unworkable in reality.
ATTEMPT 03 - Nautilus
Nautilus simply fails altogether with a GTK error in the background.
ATTEMPT 04 - Ristretto
This is the default viewer with Debian 8 and it works. Or so I thought. When you rotate in Ristretto it just rotates it within the software and doesn't persist it within the image. So I went off and did 50 of them, thought I had and when I went to view them in other software they were still landscape. Incredibly frustrating.
ATTEMPT 05 - Windows 7 - Standard Image Viewer
This just works. I click one button, rotate left/right and then click next and it's saved. Ristretto could do this if it actually persisted the changes but it doesn't. So I find myself doing this job in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine because Linux just simply doesn't provide a working tool for me.
Any software that does the above simple task well in Linux?
