Added the following line to sources.list:
deb [URL] squeeze main non-free
After that I did an update and upgrade.
The following packages were kept back : ffmpeg libavcodec52 libavdevice52 libavformat52 libcairo2 libpostproc51 libswscale0 mplayer ( libcairo2 is on hold ).
To overcome this I did: apt-get install mplayer
The following extra packages will be installed:
liba52-0.7.4 libartsc0 libbs2b0 libdirac-decoder0 libfaac0 libggi2 libggiwmh0 libgii1
libmp3lame0 libopencore-amrnb0 libopencore-amrwb0 libvdpau1 libx264-104 libxvidcore4
It ends like: Unpacking replacement mplayer ...

I've just finished an upgrade from debian lenny to squeeze.But when I tried to log into my Gnome session the menu and the taskbar was missing and when i click on change desktop preferences nothing happen and i m not able to run anny command as well (alt+f2). The upgrading process went good i think and i dont know what i did wrong
I use Debian Stretch (testing). After upgrading to kernel 4.4 the system doesn't see my main soundcard at all -- so, no sound. And now I also get this message every boot:
Code: Select allmodprobe: module microcode not found in modules.dep
Can I use the config for my current kernel (the jessie 3.16 one), and use it to build a more recent kernel (3.18)? Do I just copy across the config and try and build with it, or is there some tool that will bring across the existing config but also set up reasonable defaults for any new options in the newer kernel, and any other migrations that might need to be applied?
After upgrading to Maverick, I have noticed that when I'm streaming from a site on the Internet with mplayer in wave format, my processor pegs at near 100%. I have to nice it to get it to relent, but this is a new issue for the upgrade. Streaming mp3 doesn't register very much.
I'm in need of a bit of assistance from you Debian users. I have two servers that I thought were identical installations, both running Debian Lenny. Tonight I started the upgrade to Squeeze on both servers and one of them went smooth. The other one started out good but fails on the postconfiguration of openssh-server. I'm getting the following message:
It looks like there's an error in one of the files in openssh-server that prohibits it from installing correctly. However on the other server it all went well.
Not a biggie since I get both sound and video, but it takes a bit longer to start the file then before. Also Kde tells me that the sound card "pulse audio" is no longer connected although pulse seem to live just fine.
I downloaded the most recent version of debian and isntalled it. Everything went really well there. Until i issued free -m on the box. It would appear that the server is missing about 300mb of ram which is okay for i figured perhaps the video card / sound was taking that amount of ram for it'self. it was not until i installed Xen and I found a bigger problem with memory and my system. for what ever reason when I attempt to create a domU with 512mb of ram, i need to add 19MB more ram so that when i issue free -m from within the domU it will show a total of 512. worse yet is that when i raise the total up to 1024 for 1gb or domU ram, i need to addd 28mb or ram. and add 28mb of ram PER GB i wish to add to the domU.
I've been testing Squeeze to determine whether KDE4 is finally suitable for my primary machine. Everything seems to be working fine except for detection of IDE devices. My CD/DVD drive no longer automounts and the reason seems to be that no device is being created. My Lenny system detects the drive as /dev/hda, but no such device exists in Squeeze. During boot, Squeeze appears to detect the drive as /dev/sr0 (according to dmesg), but in fact that device does not exist either.I'm actually running the Lenny kernel, as I am unable to compile my Ralink wireless driver (rt2860sta) using the Squeeze kernel. Also, for inquiring minds, I use removable HDD drive bays on my systems to simplify testing.
So, as per Arch Linux's wiki, I tried to make some optimisations to the intel driver through setting it up in Xorg.conf (or as advised by that wiki article, in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf' ), but I've ran into trouble enabling DRI3. Here's my current config file:
So far everything works fine, I haven't seen any noticeable tearing, nor did I had any problems with any graphics-intensive programs I run, but there's a slight problem with the DRI3 part as indicated by Xorg's logs:
Code: Select all[ 26.556] (II) Loading sub module "dri2" [ 26.556] (II) LoadModule: "dri2" [ 26.556] (II) Module "dri2" already built-in [ 26.556] (==) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp [ 26.616] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Haswell (gen7.5, gt2) backend [ 26.616] (==) intel(0): Backing store enabled
[Code] ....
First of all it still mentions the DRI2 driver, is this supposed to happen, or did something go wrong? Also it complains that it cannot find a file, which I can't figure out which package it belongs to, and taking a quick search around the interwebs hasn't produced anything useful...
The IGP is the CPU, which is actually a i5-4460... which according to Wikipedia it has a HD Graphics 4600 GPU.
I just upgraded my Debian stretch via apt-get and I noticed that the network manager is missing at least 2 icons: the mobile broadband icon and the settings icon. I haven't found any bug reports or other information about how to restore them. The icons were there after initial installation of version 8.2.0 from DVD.

My laptop fan sensor shows fine in psensor in sid. But today I downgrade to jessie and sensor for fan gone. I check if fancontrol is running but I can not manage to make it work
I google and have tried but no luck Code: Select allacpi_enforce_resources=lax
This is an Asus laptop with controllable fan. I am not sure if fan is running by Bios, and how it might run. But I feel the laptop seem quieter and at higher temperature than it was under sid.
Here's my problem: I'm running a Lenny laptop and I need both wifi and virtualbox to work. I had to do a kernel upgrade to run the wifi. It works with either the 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 kernels, but with 2.6.30 I'm having screen brightness issues that I can't seem to get rid of. So I want to run 2.6.29, but virtualbox is a bit of a problem because it requires linux-headers-2.6.29, but when I try to install the amd64 headers it tells me that it cannot install the dependency linux-kbuild-2.6.29. Is there any way I can get that dependency installed on my computer?
I seem to have a major discrepancy between what df reports and what du reports. df tells me that I am using 20G, but I am only able to find 9.5G using du. What follows are the ls -l of root, a df of my system, and the du for every directory in root that is not a symbolic link, mnt, or proc. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look for the remaining 10.5G that seems to have disappeared. I am running under VM Player code...
I am trying to upgrade the version of dovecot on a rarely-maintained Debian machine with which I almost never have problems (ain't Linux wonderful?). The current version is 1.0.rc15-2, and I think the latest version is 1.2 something, but the point is that I want to be able to use the pigeonhole sieve plugin. Anyway, when I try to "apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d", it gets to this: Err [URL].. etch/main gnomemeeting 2.0.3-6 404 Not Found Failed to fetch [URL]..-6_all.deb 404 Not Found E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Anyone knows how I can fix this. According this "log" it seems to be that the firmware have been moved/removed?.. [URL]
It is the firmware for the network card, but it works fine....
I am running Debian 6.0.1, GNOME version 2.30.2. For some reason the "language support" option is missing. What do I need to do in order to recover it?
I have a strange problem with the ACPI in my laptop, the problem start some days ago, I don't remember exactly the day.
The first symptom is with de Gnome Power Manager, only show me when I disconnect de AC power, but when connect it again the Power Manager icon disappear and the energy battery stay in the same value.
After search for a while, all the post I read talking about the /proc/acpi/battery directory, but this directory not exist on my laptop.
I have a laptop Lenovo G460. My OS is Squeeze. My Kernel is 2.6.38-bpo.2-amd64, because the 2.6.32 version of the kernel don't recognize well my audio card.
I can't attach the dmesg and the lsmod output because I receive a message "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.", both file are compressed.
I had installed ssh but something went wrong and I uninstalled it. I removed the SSH configuration files by hand (I deleted all /etc/ssh folder).After ssh installation (I mean apt-get install ssh) I noticed that I have no SSH configuration files.I tried apt-get install openssh-server but i still have no SSH configuration files.
so I just installed Squeeze Alpha1 amd64, dual boot with MS Vista using Grub. Everything seemed fine, but I'm apparently missing about 40GB of space. It should be set up as so:
101GB NTFS /dev/sda1 - Vista 12GB NTFS /dev/sda2 - HP Recovery 45GB ext3 /dev/sda3 - / Debian squeeze
I recentlty did a new install and the printer icon no longer shows up in the notification area when printing....I cannot figure out what is missing or did they omit this...
This may sound ridiculous, but after installing Debian 5 (from CD 1) in my laptop, ASUS UL80VT, it fails to detect the Ethernet device. The device is "Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Ethernet Controller". I guess the problem comes with the old kernel of version 5. I was intending to compile the latest kernel anyway. But the problem is is there any heads up i need to download the kernel and trying to compile it? Is there anyone who uses Debian on UL80VT. If there is, does it works okay?In short I want to compile the latest kernel, hoping it will fix the Ethernet device. There are installers available with the latest kernel. But I want to do it on my own.
I've got Debian Sid x64 on my machine. Problem is that in my KDE setup several programs don't work, namely System Load Viewer plasmoid, plasmoid with temperature info and update-notifier-kde. System Load Viewer always shows 0% RAM and swap usage, as well as no processors, temperature sensors plasmoid shows no sensors available even after I installed lm-sensors and run sensors-detect, update-notifier-kde doesn't show any notifications even if I run aptitude update manualy. I might be mistaken but it seems to me that these three programs are not working because of some common reason, most likely some policy package either missing or misconfigured, but I can't figure out what is it.
When I load a video into mplayer I get this message: Code: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I checked that this lib was installed with yum: Code: Package libvdpau-0.4-1.fc13.i686 already installed and latest version
