Is it possible to put the ISO images for Debian on your system and point the APT config at them with some sort of driver to read them like disks? That would sure save a lot of disk swapping.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get my simple home web server on the internet but I cannot seem to make it work. I've set up a LAMP stack to host my website and it works perfectly on my local network (accessing from [URL].. but not from the internet. To test it for now before I set up a dynamic dns service, I am trying to access my website via my WAN IP address from within and outside of my home network (ie http://69. When I do this, I get a "taking too long to respond" message, instead of a host not found or 404 or something of that nature. My box has a pentium 4, 2 gigs of ram, and is on a DSL line so I have a hard time believing anything is "taking too long". Here are the software packages I've installed:
-ssh
-apache2
-php5
-mysql
-phpmyadmin
-proftpd
-mediatomb
All of these packages work perfectly fine from within my home LAN, but NONE work outside of my network.
Other configs:
-My router forwards traffic on port 80 to my server
-My iptables allow incoming traffic on port 80
-My ISP, AT&T, does not block port 80 (or any port, according to various online sources)
Perhaps Apache is not configured correctly? What apache config options would be related to this problem?
I've previously tried a similar setup with the dyndns service fully configured (I followed a very thorough guide down to the t - wish I had the link it was excellent), but to no avail - I got the same "too long to respond" accessing from my domain name. I understand that there are a multitude of causes for this problem, so what can I do to narrow down the source? "How to set up a LAMP server" guide, because all of them have lead me to where I am now.
When I installed Debian on this machine, I went with guided partitioning, encrypted lvm, and Debian defaulted to a 10GB / partition. I figured, hey, defaults are there for a reason, so left it alone.
Now that I need to shrink my /home and extend /, I'd like to do so as easily as possible. I installed system-config-lvm, read its man page ( which is really just a long description of the program, not much instruction ) and fired it up. Won't let me resize ( shrink ) /home, said files are in use.
Is there a way to use the nice pretty graphical tool, or do I need to boot to a non-X-using runlevel and log in as root, then muck about with CLI tools like lvresize and resize2fs?
how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just finished installing Debian 2.1 on a very old laptop for some light word processing and web browsing, and am trying to get apt working so I can use it and dselect to install packages.

I have a fresh install of Debian Squeeze AMD64 which I'm trying to install KVM on. I have no idea what I'm doing so I figured someone on these forums might be able to explain it. I have already verified VT support and enabled it in the bios. I have googled and read about KVM installation but everything I can find is either confusing or doesn't work. Also I am trying to install it from source because I want to experiment with modifying it later.

Any pointers to how I might accomplish this? All of the online resources I've found for network-based installs expect to do all downloading from a remote mirror, and I would prefer to limit my network traffic to the local LAN. Also, I want to install to multiple new hosts, and would like to avoid doing a lot of babysitting and swapping DVDs in and out of the drives (and some hosts are without DVD readers).

Linux debtop 2.6.32-trunk-686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 06:32:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Squeeze-beta was my first foray into Debian, and I love it. I changed my setup to a rolling setup with testing (Wheezy), and have done that for several months. Lately, I got a new kernel, but it reboots to a terminal rather than GUI (I'm a simple laptop user). I think it's because of the NVIDIA drivers, and here is what I've tried (meanwhile, I'm using the previous kernel):
# apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
# m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-source
A blue screen appears that says:
module-assistant error message Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use.
You can try:
module-assistant prepare
or
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
I have done both, rebooted, and I still get the blue screen. I also see this message:
nvidia-kernel-source was not built successfully, see:
/var/cache/modass/nvidia-kernel-source*buildlog*
...and I have copy/pasted the file below (which omits lines 101-200 because this message is too long then):

it also stops at the same point when trying to install another driver, /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 does exist

Does anyone else have unusual trouble burning ISOs to CD-RWs? When I want to make a new liveCD of a distro--or, really, any data that I might not want to keep in its current form--I like to burn to CD-RWs because I can erase and reuse them. Frugality. But I have a very high frequency of errors when I try to burn a distro to a CD-RW. Sometimes it ruins the CD-RW: after the error disrupts the burning, K3B starts telling me the disc is now a CD-ROM and can't be erased. I just lost three CD-RWs to that--damn it. And they weren'd old, failing CD-RWs: two had slight use, and one was brand new. Should I not be burning distro ISOs to CD-RWs?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI replaced the hds in my computer a while back. They were linked up as one logical volume, but before I pulled them out I saved isos of each disk.

So I'm guessing that somehow I have to tell mount that they are two parts of one logical volume, but I'm not sure how to do that.
One way or another, is it going to be possible for me to recover the info from these isos?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem checking the MD5SUM of some CDs burnt from ISOs, and I'm not sure whether the problem is the burning or the checking. I get the same problems on several PCs, and it seems to be dependent on the ISO. I have for a couple of years used a script someone gave me to verify CDs against ISOs when I want to check the disc and it has always worked in the past. The core line in the script is:
Code:
devmd5=`readom dev=$cddev sectors=0-$count f=- | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
count is the size of the ORIGINAL ISO as calculated by isosize
