Debian :: Confirming Update For DSA-2110-1?
Sep 26, 2010
Just trying to confirm that I've properly patched my system against the user-elevation flaw identified in Debian Security Advisory: [URL]../security/2010/dsa-2110 and I'm running into trouble.
When I open Aptitude, the package manager says that I have Kernel 2.6.26+17+ installed. I've run apt-get update and there are no Kernel in the list of available updates when I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Here's my source.list:
deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
[Code]...
I need to do to get myself to 2.6.26-25lenny1? I'd rather not step away from apt and install the .deb manually...

I have installed Suse 11.3 on my Dell 2110, and everything went fine (wireless network included). After a couple of weeks, while I was trying to access a wireless network, the wireless module ceased to work.Now on knetworkmanager the option to enable wireless network is grey and cannot be selected. Following some indications I found in this forum for a similar issue, I uninstalled the broadcom drivers and re-install them again, with a cold start between the two phases as suggested, without success. After that, the option on knetworkmanager is still grey, and from yast the wireless module appears as "not configured". If I switch to ifup and configure it, the situation does not change.
This is my current configuration:
Suse 11.3, kernel 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop, 64 bit version.
KDE 4.4.4 "release 3"
I am using the following drivers:
b43-firmware 4.174.64.19-3.pm.3.1
b43-fwcutter 012-6.1

I have a very strange problem; when trying to apt-get update or aptitude update I get time out errors. At first it was resolving ipv6 adresses:
Cannot initiate the connection to ftp.litnet.lt:80 (2001:778::87). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:778::87 80] Err [URL] Cannot initiate the connection to security.debian.org:80 (2001:a78:5:1:216:35ff:fe7f:6ceb). - connect (101: Network is
unreachable) [IP: 2001:a78:5:1:216:35ff:fe7f:6ceb 80] As my host does not have normal ipv6 support, i just tried to disable ipv6: echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf

I recently did an update squeeze and the next day after I restarted there was only a blank screen.The laptop started, the system installed, the wifi connected but no gdm.I started in recovery mode and tried;
# invoke-rc.d gdm start, and got the response that it was an invalid command or words similar to that.
# startx, gives me a blank screen with an unblinking cursor.
# apt-get install gnome, tells me that the latest version is already installed.
If it has any bearing on the issue, I dual boot with Ubuntu and that works fine.Is there anything to be done to fix the problem?

I am running Sid Fluxbox using Gnome programs. After updating around a month ago some (though not all) of the programs won't use the theme I have selected. Nautilus still uses it and non Gnome programs do, but others such as gnome terminal do not. So things are not matching up, which is most annoying since I like dark themes and these other programs are defaulting to something light. This problem is only on my netbook and not my desktop, so I am thinking maybe some config file is messed up some where but I am not sure. I have tried changing the theme using lxappearance but this is not helping with the "stuck" programs.

Just did a fresh Debian 8 install from the net iso and used a usb stick.
Install went fine. I did not have internet at the time of install.
Now that I have internet (confirmed by pinging many internet sites) I get "403 Forbidden: request URL denied IP: 128.61.240.89 80" When ever I run apt-get update.
I have tried different sources in my sources.list

I'm completely new to linux, or to debian for that matter, it's been a while since I wanted to move on from w...s, and when I finally did it, I spent 2 days just trying to make the sound work - at this time I've done every thing from pavucontrol, alsamixer, edit (and restore) /etc/pam.d/common-session...
I even messed up the os, when I reinstalled it the sound worked - brief glory, after the update it was gone again.
The headphones output works, but the normal output don't (audio, browsers, video).
I've installed debian 8.3 jessie x64

I can't run the update-manager.When I run the Update Manager, it starts to check and then gets"A fatal error has been detected in the update-manager. Do you want to submit a bug report? Selecting No will close the application."What should I do now? Should I reinstall the update-manager? How do I do that?

I have two partitions with Debian on them. One is straight Debian and I installed Grub to the MBR. Another is Linux Mint LMDE and I installed (or so I think) grub to the root partition. Mint is not listed when Debian boots up and there's no entry for it. What did I do wrong? I'm not familiar with Grub 2. Is there some 'update grub' command that I need to use? Why doesn't this get configured when the other OS is installed? Or is this just how it works? I suppose grub will work for the other OS. If I 'update' Grub with my Debian system, it will "detect" the new OS, maybe? I wanted the current Grub in my Debian install to handle everything since the Mint install isn't my main system and just experimental for me.

I have an offline machine and the full 8 DVD repository set and have added them to the system and they work fine to install packages. I used jigdo to download the update 6.0.1 DVD and the "packages" file and the one inside of "packages.gz" are empty files. This prevents the disk from working at all. I'm not sure who to report this to.

Before you answer I am just curious about this. I certainly would never do this nor recommend it. However because I have never tried this I was curious if it actually would happen.At the end of Lenny, would it pop up in the update-manager-gnome that a new release "Squeeze" is available? I am just curious.

At my current job it is my responsibility to update all the servers, as well as some of the workstations. Its an easy enough job, I just remote in to each "machine", and use Synaptic to update. Well, we have a package that was created here "key-build-tools-g6" and for some reason, after I update and go to close Synaptic, it says "There are still marked changes that have not yet been applied. They will be lost if you choose to quit 'Synaptic'". If I cancel and "Apply Updates" then look at the "Details" it says "key-build-tools-g6 (version 18) will be upgraded to version 18". I go ahead and update it again, it downloads, and installs, but then when I go to exit... Same thing.

I have added the following line in sources.list, deb [URL] squeeze main non-free
Running apt-get update i get this error message,
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 123456789
Do i need to generate this public key 123456789 ? If so, how?
Running apt-key update has not solved the problem.
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring was a recommended solution from some googling.
I have also read this page, [URL] , but how to add a key is under construction.

My computer: 3 year old cheapish box, Gigabyte board with onboard video and sound. Cat5 cabled to Linksys wired router to a cable modem. Debian 6.0 Stable. Network installation.
This didn't happen from the initial installation but I now get an error message each time I get the updates.
I first see the red update notification icon top right of Gnome desktop. I click on it, enter root password at prompt. Click the install updates button on the update manager window. The software progress bars show me the download progress but then I get the following errors.
An error has occurred and installing has been aborted. Error Message: subprocess installed post installation script returned error exit status 1
Error message: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.
I cancel the messages. The notification icon then turns to the reboot icon. If I start the update manager again from the System menu it shows me that my system is up to date, so I suspect the update has taken place. But why am I getting the error messages. This now happens every time I see the new updates icon. Apart from that everything works fine.
I include my source list in case this helps.
