Debian Configuration :: Failed Ifupdown Update Now No Gnome / No Network
Jan 11, 2016
I ran my daily update of Debian Stretch using Synaptic, and when done had an un-installed update for ifupdown remaining marked in the list. By right clicking I was able to get Synaptic to say it would install the update, along with quite a few other updates. In the process of doing this, my screen went dark and stayed dark. On reboot, I get the Grub menu to select which Linux system I want to boot, but whichever one I choose, including older ones, I get to a command line, not the Gnome GUI.
I tried to complete the update of ifupdown using apt-get, only to discover that my machine no longer has any network connection, let alone Internet.
when I try to update my Debian, I have the following internal error:Error message:Fetch failed: W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) , W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I do not know if this is really something I should worry about. I am running Debian testing on my laptop (HP Pavillon dv6). Today, the aptitude update---aptitude upgrade gave me a new kernel (2.6.39). However, if I boot with that kernel, I get a warning (do not know if that is the way I should call this) telling me that the machine failed to get the i915 symbols so turbo graphics will be disabled.I have not done any serious test, but at first sight I do not notice any difference performance-wise with respect to the previous kernel. what am I supposed to do to fix this?
I wanted gnome desktop as I want things like copy/paste and other niceties, plus an artist will be using the machine so I need everything to be configurable by a GUI if possible.I did NOT install ubuntu-desktop (As apparently this switches you to desktop kernel not server), I executed:
I recently installed two PC with debian lenny (kernel 2.6.26). One is called serveur-debian1 and the second one serveur-debian2. I have installed gnome,samba, mysql5, apache2, php5, and Virtualbox,bridge-tools on them. On serveur-debian2, i installed an other virtual debian lenny with apache2,mysql5,php5,nagios and centreon on it to view my network. I remember having installed a soft to access nntp on serveur-debian2 in order to test nagios.
Since a few days, i have problem to access to my servers. rom my windows 7 client, i try to ping serveur-debian1. Response is OK but not for all resquets Always from the same computer, i try to ping serveur-debian2. Response is OK but not for all again.
When i launch a ping on serveur-debian1 and serveur debian2 at the same time i have:
ping 1 to 10: serveur-debian1: response OK serveur-debian2: no response ping 11to 14: serveur-debian1: no response serveur-debian2: response OK ping 15 to 25: serveur-debian1: respone OK serveur-debian2: @ip serveur-debian1 network unreachable (there's no error, it shows me the ip of serveur-debian1)
If i switch on the debian virtual server on the serveur-debian2, and i ping it at the same time, the response is OK for all resquests. The problem is very strange. I can't have a correct connection and when i launch a request from a software which access the mysql server, the requests failed ...
I've installed Debian on a Sun Ultra 450 Enterprise system using the net install version, so I know that my network is working correctly. However, now that Debian is installed and I bring up Gnome, I have no network access. I've set eth0 to DHCP, and have pointed it to my DNS server, but it never gets any information from the DNS server.
I've looked through /etc/network/interfaces, which looks like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp /etc/resolv.conf contains: nameserver 192.168.0.1 which is correct.
I've run /etc/init.d/networking stop /etc/init.d/networking start
So far, nothing works. Why would the Debian network install disk work, but not be smart enough to set my network correctly from the start once I'm actually running Linux? Also, how do I get the network running in Gnome?
My card Wifi network doesn't turn on, even at loading configuration of the system is failed. I have to wait a long time until the system itself to load.
And when I write ifconfig or iwconfig is displayed in the console interface wireless card.
And when I come in the panel on the network card, it immediately pops up a window that you can not load the network card modules.
I don't know what could have happened, I do not recall that I recently messed with the system.
Here are the pictures: [URL]....
And here I join dmesg.log file, at the end of a failed: [URL] ....
I've been enjoying wireless for a long time on Squeeze (iwl3945) with KDE, but the recent network manager update stopped that. I've tried a few things, like going back to /etc/network/interfaces and ifup wlan0 that I use with Lenny, but still not working.
I have just updated my Squeeze system. The update included a newer version of network-manager (and it can not be more than a few hours old). After the update all network functionality on my machine (via knetwork-manager) is broken. The GUI applet has no effect.
Hence can anyone help me: a) Downgrade network-manager by one version; b) Find out what is causing knetworkmanager to break; c) See if the problem is with knetworkmanager or network-manager.
I am currently using Debian Testing, managing my wireless connection with NetworkManager and the Gnome nm-applet. Both have just been updated: network-manager from 0.8.1-6+squeeze1 to 0.8.2-6 and network-manager-gnome from 0.8.1-2 to 0.8.2-4.On installation of the new packages, I have no problems. However, on a reboot, I can no-longer connect to any wireless connection. I am not prompted on start-up for the password to unlock the Gnome keyring and when I left-click on the nm-applet icon and then click on a network to connect to it, nothing happens.I do not think this is a driver or NetworkManager daemon problem. If I run "nmcli dev wifi" or left-click on the applet icon, NetworkManager seems to scan for wireless networks properly and returns a list including the one I wish to connect to.
I have some errors when run the mount -all command: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Failed to open /proc/filesystems: No such file or directory
Does anyone here have experience with using the Debian Live Builder from HERE? Every time I attempt a build, it fails. I thought it strange that it didn't let me select 'amd64' under 'LB_ARCHITECTURE', 'testing' under 'LB_DISTRIBUTION', or multiple options under 'LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS'. Does anyone see what I might have done wrong?
My Debian Jessie system started to bug after a separate /usr partition being full. After redimensioning and various packages reinstalls I fall on this:

I've just bought this laptop Asus G750JZ with Intel Haswell i72.4 GHz and Nividia GTX 880. I have this problem with Debian: after i install the OS it says that Gnome 3 could not be loaded. I guess it doesnt recognize my video cards(Intel HD 4600 and NVidia 880). How to make Debian running in optimal condition on my laptop.
I was compiled a new kernel version 4.4 of debain 8.2 amd64, i've issue > tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed, and I'm stay on busybox. Fortunately, I've backup and i can to boot on 4.3 version, it's a choise on startup OS !
I thinking that i compile a new kernel with 4.3 version, i do it, and now have got a same issue (tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed) !
I think that there are adding a new modules while compilation of 4.4 version. I've saw to google if this issue are listing, the answer is yes ! but now i have only 3.6 version for booting ...
Suspend worked before I completely reinstalled Testing from scratch. Now it seems to suspend OK, but when it tries to wake up it fails. Details here: [URL]
I don't know why but my server is no longer successfully updating its security repositories when I run 'apt-get update' on my system.Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.Did I mess something up? No changes have been made to the server and I ran 'apt-get clean' and that didn't really do much.
when i ran jhbuild build as a normal user, i found below messages before it failed

After upgrading to Debian 8, I'm having a bit of trouble with systemd, since I'm not used to it (seeing as it was all init when I started). I tried to use a tutorial to create a new service and one step in it was to run
Code: Select allsystemctl enable xxx.service
Unfortunately, every time I run systemctl - even without parameters - I get this error:
Code: Select allFailed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted
I installed Blueman & paired my headset successfully but I get this error message when I connect my headset, "Failed to initialize pulseaudio bluetooth module. Bluetooth audio over pulseaudio will not work". When I go to Pulse Audio Volume Control, it's not showing in my hardware list.

I was playing with my debian server when something went totally wrong while i was editing something on my network interface,i removed those crap that i wrote and left the network interface configuration as it was
Like for example after re-editing my network interface,it was like :
As i did a network restart, i get this error saying :
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 2802 killed old client process, removed PID file.
What is this error and how can i fix it,because every time im re booting my server i lost my network config.
I have a Debian 8 system here running off an SSD with a five-drive RAID5 array (md0). I can reboot this machine just fine until I do an apt-get update and upgrade, at which point it fails to boot. I get the following:
A start job is running for /media/Storage (the mount point for md0)
Afterwards it dumps me into emergency mode. journalctl shows me these worrisome lines:
Timed out waiting for device dev-md0.device. Subject: Unit dev-md0.device has failed.
Now, I have a backup image of this installation from right before running apt-get update and upgrade. If I restore that image, Debian boots fine and mounts the array successfully every time. Until I update and upgrade again. I've seen it happen three times now.
I installed debian jessie with kde on my laptop a month ago and everything went fine. I tried today to update the packages (805!) via apper but i get the following error message:
Error : Removing a protected system package is not allowed WARNING: You are trying to remove the following essential packages: sysvinit-core (due to sysvinit)
I`m unable to mount my second hard drive I use to store my music and pics and wonder if it is to do with the error "failed to initialise HAL!" which I get every time I start Debian Lenny (AMD64 architecture). I have had this since doing an install (fresh) a few hours ago.
The drive is an ntfs one but when I click its icon in the computer section it says it cannot mount it and gparted says it cannot read the file system.If so how would I get the error box to stop appearing and how do I mount the ntfs drive?
