Debian Configuration :: Preconfigured "servers" During Installation?
Jun 20, 2011
During the install one of the screens towards the end asked what "collections" of software I wanted to install. Such as a graphical desktop, web server, dns server, sql database etc.
I only chose a couple because I would like to install some things a certain way, but if in the future I chose to install say the graphical desktop, do I have an easy access to install it like the original installer would have done? I know I could do a google search on it but it would be nice if I could have it and others installed just as the installer would've done.

I am running Jessie 8.2, upgraded from Wheezy about a week ago.
KDE Desktop, static IP
NetworkManager.conf shows:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=true
dns=none
The dns=none is to keep NetworkManager from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf (which shows):
nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
nameserver aaa.eee.fff.ggg
nameserver aaa.hhh.iii.jjj
search mydomain.com
It seems like ifconfig used to show which DNS servers were being addressed, but something has changed, I need to know whether I am referencing what I think I am... I have search this forum, googled, and come up empty... did the metrics go away with 8.2? Was I dreaming at 7.5?

How can I have /etc/resolv.conf point to my router address as the nameserver nameserver 192.168.1.1
instead of picking up the ISP's DNS servers and using that as the nameserver entries? Reason being I have more than one ISP account, and when I change I do not want to have to remember to restart the networking service. because i often forget.

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 now have 2 desktops running debian. I have virtual servers running in desktop 1, and I am hosting my photos using Gallery2. I have copied Gallery2 and the mysql over to desktop 2. I have entered port forward to desktop 1 using port 80 (using my router), and desktop 2 using port 1000. I can only access Gallery2 in desktop1. If I tried to access Gallery2 in desktop 2, I got re-directed to desktop1.
Questions:
1. Are home routers capable of port forward to more than one computers in a home network behind the firewall of the router? It is Belkin N+ router.
2. Can multiple virtual servers be setup in 2 desktops?

Anyone can point me to a document, page, or something that will tell me exactly how to implement DNS step by step. I don't mean just the concept, i.e. you'll need two name servers, and to download BIND, etc. NO, I mean command line commands and all. Step 1, step 2, how to register the name servers, how to resolve different domains, etc.
I'd really appreciate it, as I need to implement internal DNS and external DNS for my company soon. Our set up is pretty standard: Firewall, DMZ, Solaris/Linux/Windows servers, and Windows clients, etc.

I am using Squeeze and all appears OK at first... I have a DHCP lease, PING to router works, apache servering fine in and outside the network, Epiphany seems to connects to default debian.org only, BUT I cannot connect to any other websites and apt will not connect to any servers. I installed once, tried to fix problem, gave up and reinstalled and still have the same problem.
I unistalled Network Manager thinking that was the problem, but still the same issue. Is there a default firewall blocking certain connections or am I missing something I'm supposed to know about? I installed some non-free firmware in the beginning of install and all worked... and I connected fine when downloading packages during install.

Recently I have installed Debian Squeeze amd64 on my home desktop. I have used the standard installation method using DVD. I use my desktop primarily for web surfing, playing games and web application development. I do run apache2 and mysql servers on my system as need arise. I have been told that apache2 server execution without mandatory access controls such as apparmor or selinux makes the system vulnerable.
I could not find apparmor in synaptics, so I choose selinux for this task. To start with I installed identical environment in virtual box and tried installing selinux as given in url [url]. After the last step i.e. after running command selinux-config-enforcing and reboot I get login screen, I choose username and enter password. Thats it. The screen becomes blank and no further progress. I am not sure where did I went wrong. I am also curious whether selinux is really required in such cases or there is any better way to handle such situations. I also thought of running apache2 service from virtualbox. But I did not find it suitable for my requirement though.

I've been installing multiple versions of ubunutu over years and now I better understand why I faced always problems with wifi configuration on these different baselines : Debian root of course.
Now on Debian 7.4 :
The Broadcom BCM4313 driver is not loaded by default (not free product) for my wifi card. This is stated thru the UNCLAIMED declaration
Code: Select allÂ
sudo lshw -c network
 *-network UNCLAIMED
    description: Network controller
    product: BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
    vendor: Broadcom Corporation
    physical id: 0
[Code] ...
Unclaimed means : no driver found (no kernel association)
So I installed the driver located in the non-free backports by adding this target into the repository
Code: Select alldeb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
and install :
Code: Select allsudo apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
sudo modprobe brcm80211
Check seems OK :
Code: Select allsudo lshw -c network
 *-network
    description: Wireless interface
    product: BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
    vendor: Broadcom Corporation
    physical id: 0
[Code] ....
I can't connect with wlan0, it doesn't work. I found information here regarding WPA2/PSK wifi configuration on debian : [URL] ....
so I added this setup to my interfaces file an got :
Code: Select allauto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
 wpa-ssid Hznteam-Datacenter
 # hexadecimal psk is encoded from a plaintext passphrase
 wpa-psk 12345678901234567890123456
It's worth ! no more wifi network are detected and ifconfig gives no ip address allocated :
Code: Select allwlan0   Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 78:e4:00:4e:49:a3Â
     UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

I have problem with installing Deluge. I did not find any manual how to install Deluge. And I wanna install deluge newest version, and that is on Debian testing packages. So how can I install Deluge from debian testing packages. I read a little bit Deluge forum and there I see, there is lot of problems with Deluge on Debian Lenny. And all I need is use Deluge from web interfaces, thats all. How could I set it up?

The problem is that when I run the install from the ISO, he said he did not could find the preseed file.In looking around, it seems that we should add this file in initrd But, I do not see how.I searched a few hours on the net in vain.

I just got a new hard drive and figured I might as well do an installation of Squeeze (and was previously using Lenny). That went fine, and then I decided that I should copy over my old Lenny installation to the new disk -- mostly to have a working backup without bothering to do a new installation on a partition of the new drive. My partition scheme was a smaller /boot partition and then a much larger / partition with everything else standard (and a much larger /data partition rather than storing everything under /home). So I copied /boot over to a new partition on the new disk, and the same with /. That was done from the Squeeze installation, so the Lenny install wasn't active at the time. I modified all the appropriate entries in /etc/fstab to use UUIDs rather than partition numbers and ran an update-grub.
It detected everything on the old and new disks without a problem. When I went to try and boot up the transferred Lenny installation, it hung on trying to activate the root file system (I've forgotten the exact messaging). Not entirely unexpected, mind you. I went and took a look at the grub.cfg file. It does list that the transferred Lenny is on partition sda8 (correct), it has the correct uuid for the boot partition... but it seems to be setting the root incorrectly. Specifically, the root is still set for the old disk (though in its new position of hd1 instead of hd0), and the "linux" line sets a root for the old device. Or more specifically, this is the menu entry I get, with a few // comments.
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 (on /dev/sda8)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,msdos2)' // <------ This position is the *current* location of my old Lenny disk/partition
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [the correct /boot UUID]
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=795 // <----- that root=/dev/sda5 line is what it was on the old device.
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 }
The odd thing there is that it sets the root according to the *current* position of the old install disk (maybe some trickery with detecting the correct UUID before setting the root), but the "linux" line refers to the *old* partition. The two lines will never match up no matter what. Now if I edit grub.cfg manually, I can make it boot (and run) normally, as I've verified. For example, I made a couple manual changes to do this:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 (on /dev/sda8)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos3)' // <----------- First hard drive, partition sda3 is where I put /boot
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [the correct /boot UUID]
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=UUID=[the correct / UUID] ro vga=795 // <--- Changed it to the UUID here; could be /dev/sda8 instead
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 }
And that works perfectly, the installation works just fine. Of course, the problem is that those changes will/would be lost every time I run an update-grub. So my question, in a nutshell, is how can I configure things so that update-grub sets things properly to the new devices? Or in other words, where in the copied installation are the variables I need to change? I did note one thing odd -- the existence of a vga=795 line. For the new Squeeze installation, I'm using gfxpayload and there's no vga=anything line anywhere. My old installation, of course, had its own grub installation where I did use vga=795 to set the console resolution properly.
So my first guess was that update-grub (for Grub2) was pulling config information out of the Lenny /boot/grub folder (grub legacy). Unfortunately I tried several changes there and it made no difference. Then I deleted the entire /boot/grub folder entirely from the copied Lenny installation and ran update-grub again (the Squeeze grub version). It changed absolutely nothing. That's very confusing for me, since I have no clue where it could be getting vga=795 from, *except* the now-deleted Lenny /boot/grub folder. Where in the copied Lenny installation, I can change something to make it so that update-grub picks up the correct information?

I got a new laptop the other day, repartitioned it and installed Lenny. The wireless did not work. From some searching, I decided that I have the 14e4:4727 broadcom chipset. The driver I need is partially supported by the 2.6.33 kernel. I installed squeeze and downloaded the 2.6.35-7 kernel from kernel.org Then compiled it with the debian 2.6.32 kernel config file. Once it was done I installed the kernel deb files, and restarted it.
Kernel 2.6.35.7 Compiled with commands
make oldconfid
make menuconfig
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-hermes" --revision "10-5-2010" --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers
[0.433831] PCI_root PNP0A03:00: address space collision : host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xdfffffff] conflicts with PCI bus 000:00 [mem 0xd0000000-0xffffffff]
And it seems to hang until I manually hold the power button to shut it down.
Before I compiled my own kernel I tried to use the liquorix-2.6.35-amd64 kernel with the same result. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Computer: DELL Inspiron m5010
4g ram
phenom 2 triple core
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

I have trouble setting up NFS on Debian Squeeze (2.6.32-5-kirkwood armv5tel GNU/Linux) running on a Sheevaplug. After some digging and googling I found that the NFS server is (probably) not properly installed.
no rules in iptables or hosts.allow or hosts.deny. Fresh OS install.
apt-get install --reinstall nfs-kernel-server
generates this output:
Setting up nfs-kernel-server (1:1.2.2-4) ...
Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.
Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
[Code]....
It could be related to this bug [URL] but I wonder if the fix goes to the arm-branch as well?
I have never had any trouble setting up NFS before.

I am currently running a Debian 4.0 (etch) PC and I can't upgrade to a newer distribution for legacy software reasons.
It is currently running on Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 and I would like to upgrade it to Kernel 2.6.22-3-686 (whilst keeping my current Debian 4.0 Etch installation). Does anyone know how this could be possible?
Prefereably I would like to instal Kernel 2.6.22-3-686 along side my current Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 with the option to specify which kernel to use when booting.

I don't have encrypted home directories currently, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to encrypt my home directory so that it is automatically decrypted when I'm logging in (console/kdm). Basically I would like to manually do same thing as Debian installer would have done.
I'm running Squeeze.

what the hell the error message shown below and in the attachment means? Apt-get, Aptitude, dpkg and member limiter's 3/21 post all give the same outcome. Do I need to simply remove the offending .deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives? Do I need to install squeeze from scratch? (I'm installing over a tempermental lenny-sid hybrid installation.) This thing is blocking installation and configuration of 28 other packages.

I've been trying to make a live CD off an installation with minimalist deviation possible. Purpose is to check the hardware compatibility using the live CD, after which I'll copy the installation to the hard drive (which will probably be a squashed image) and do the necessary edits to make the system bootable. Since the rootfs will be copied over (not dd, but direct cp --preserve=all), the difference from the actual install should be minimal.
If there are any caveats using this procedure, do notify.
I've been succeeded in doing this using Gentoo but it appears the Gentoo kernel uses Gentoo specific kernel parameters which makes things very simple, but I gotta do this with the generic Debian kernel.
If it can be done easily using a script I would also like to know exactly how it's done so I can reproduce it by hand even to make an ro rootfs and possibly reproducing the same with other distros.

I have recently installed Debian alongside Vista on the same boot menu using the GRUB booting device. Only problem is, I couldn't boot Vista at all any more, so I removed my Debian installation from that drive. But the GRUB boot record persists, I don't have the Recovery disk to restore my old system, so I have to find a way to manually remove the GRUB track and put the old record in its place. I assume there was a copy made of it by the installation program, now my only problem is to find that file and copy the content back in place (at the address at the very beginning of the drive) all that by using Linux code, since that is all I have left. Being new to this game, I have no idea how to begin writing the right command for a job like this
