Debian :: Fresh 5.0 Install And 'upgrade' Installs Exim?

Feb 2, 2011

After logging into a fresh Debian 5.0 (lenny) install from a VPS (virtual private server) provider, I run 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade' in attempt to get all the security updates, assuming that's what said commands do. Along the way exim (exim4) and possibly other programs (not confirmed) gets installed and is setup to run on bootup...despite it not being installed previously. Why is this? I would expect that either 1) previously uninstalled pkgs are not installed with the 'upgrade," or 2) if 'upgrade' essentially performing a "install everything that's not already installed" maneuver, I wonder why it's not installing a LOT more packages (then just the view I see installed on my system during the 'upgrade.')

Separately: can someone confirm an 'apt-get update' followed by apt-get upgrade' on a fresh Debian 5.0 install system will basically upgrade to 5.0.8 ("current rev level" for lenny)?

Debian Installation :: Netinst - Fresh Installation Of Lenny Or Squeeze (either Or) And Not Install Exim?

Feb 26, 2010

I haven't used Debian in 1 year or so and would like to know if there is any possible way to do a fresh installation of Debian Lenny or Squeeze (either or) and not install Exim? I get to the package selection section of the Debian Installer and I de-select "Desktop Environment" & "Standard System" so nothing is selected and it still be default installs Exim. Is there a way to omit this from the install?

Debian Installation :: Fresh Install - Upgrade To Frozen Squeeze Distribution

Sep 2, 2010

Every where I look online, people are posting ridiculous non-working ways to upgrade their system from one release to another--they do not work for me and I need a definite expert reply. I am working with a fresh install of Debian Lenny/Stable and wish to upgrade to the frozen Squeeze distribution. Supplementing the word "squeeze" in place of "lenny" in my sources.list file does not work and believe this to be an inappropriate way of upgrading. I have tried upgrading apt, dpkg, and aptitude before beginning the upgrade process, cleaning dpkg cache, rebooting, etc.

After updating the above packages I tried all methods of upgrading: safe-upgrade, full-upgrade, and dist-upgrade. All produce dependency problems and try to remove the gnome-desktop package or upgrade everything else except gnome-desktop. (Other packages are also affected, gnome-desktop is the most important in this instance). As I understand it, when upgrading you can comment out the volatile repositories as well as the security updates, is this correct?--either way I have tried countless combination's off commenting/uncommenting to try to get the needed results. I do not want use sid repos or reinstall.

Ubuntu Installation :: Pixelated Plymouth After Upgrade/fresh Install?

Apr 25, 2010

I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid via Terminal, and everything is working nicely. However, after switching the desktop on, the OS loads OK up to GRUB loading, when new Plymouth is supposed to kick in. But all I get is a pixelated image. The five dots still flash correctly signalling the OS is loading. Apart from that, I did not notice anything else wrong.

Just to check whether it was the upgrade process to have gone wrong, I did a fresh install of Kubuntu RC, this time. As soon as I inserted the live CD, however, I could tell the end result would be the same, for the same pixelation appeared while the CD was loading. And in fact, after installation, I got the same problem (see uploaded photo). So, I'm guessing, maybe it depends on my graphic card? I'm on a Matrox G450, which has always worked fine (for example, on Kubuntu it uses kwin without a hiccup). I'm currently on Kubuntu, but the issue occurs both on it and Ubuntu, where Compiz is deactivated (don't even know if that matters), and I'm only on Metacity. If Plymouth can't be correctly displayed by my card, shouldn't it have a sort of fall-back mechanism allowing users like me to have a close-to-normal experience?

Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel Upgrade Errors After Fresh Install?

Jul 23, 2010

I just activated backports and partners and I got it.

-------------------

I just bought a newish asus x83vm-x2 and am dual-booting seven and lucid lynx. On my last two computers I had migrated completely to Ubuntu, but windows 7 has a few compelling features...Anyways- I'm having issues upgrading the kernel on my fresh install of ubuntu (not that it matters, but I installed via jump drive).In update manager, the kernel upgrades are grayed out.

In synaptic, I get these (current kernel version is 2.6.32.21.22 btw)-

Code:
linux-generic:
Depends: linux-image-generic (=2.6.32.24.25) but 2.6.32.21.22 is to be installed
linux-image-generic:[code]....

It appears as thought "linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic" is not in the repository... but if that were the case, you'd think that my machine would just auto-update to an earlier version. IDK- I'm confuddled.

Ubuntu Installation :: Getting Fresh 10.04 Lucid Install Not Upgrade And Not Via Bios?

Mar 22, 2011

Still in 8.04 hardy heron, ordinary upgrade via automatic upgrade does not work, some essential pieces missing, but also my bios does not support usb cd and my "original" cd drive is broken. So........ I have burnt a cd Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx desktop version
32 bit (intel).

1) I have broken cd drive and old bios, i have usb cd drive instead which is not supported by bios when boot from cd.

2) I have still Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron but if i upgrade to 10.04 from there via automatic upgrade, this does not work, some patches missing, whatever, but upgrade this way does not work and in the end the system is set back to 8.04 again...

3) I have burnt a cd with entire Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx which i had downloaded from the web at ubuntu com; within my 8.04 i want to install all of it, so i want to install 10.04 this way, so a fresh installation via my usb cd (this is also the way i had burnt this cd image; the cd shows all the files so it is the right way burnt), so just not via bios boot, or how to explain this best.

[code]....

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Upgrade And Fresh Install Can't Connect To Previous Versions?

Jul 17, 2011

I upgraded my Ubuntu server install to 11.04 and could not connect to anything outside of it. Its a weird issue because if I run a ping against it as its booting up for about 20 seconds or so I get responses, then it says unreachable. (This is a wired connection by the way). If i login fast enough on the server itself I can ping google for instance and get a response, then it just stops and says host unreachable from that point on.

I then decided to setup a fresh install on the system (virtual server) and I get the same issue. All throughout the install it connected fine, just up until it fully restarts. Its like some service starts that just kills the connection. I rolled back to 10.10 on my other instance and it can connect fine.. Ive been trying everything I can find on the forums but I am pretty stumped by this,

General :: OS - Upgrade Or A Fresh Install Which Distro Is Best In Handling Upgrades?

Feb 25, 2010

Pretty soon, I hope, I'll get my brand new PC and wish to install a Linux disto. on it. openSuse may be it But I read recently that people prefer to do a fresh install of a newer version of openSuse, instead of upgrading it, apparently because of problems that may occur by the upgrade. As I understand, this preference apply to all Linux distributions and not only openSuse. Thus I wonder if there's a Linux distro. that's best in handling upgrades?I don't want to make a fresh new install each and every time that my disro. has a new version. I'm afraid to lose the data in that installation, and backing-up the data would be a headache. Also I plan to install a Windows OS alongside the Linux one via the Dual Boot configuration.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade / Fresh Install 10.10 Maverick Dell Studio Hybrid

Nov 3, 2010

I would like to know if someone was able to upgrade/fresh install ubuntu 10.10 maverick on a dell studio hybrid. First I've tried to upgrade. Everything went well, until the system started. First thing to notice is that the orange was so bright that was almost impossible to look at the monitor. Not a big deal, adjusting some monitor brightness etc. Second the mouse (usb) stopped for some fraction of a second, or a second, when you click to open a program. It is annoying but it is also a problem that I could wait to find some solution.

Third and worse, it was completely impossible to see videos in vlc or other players, I've tried vlc, xine, etc, the videos was stuttered, choppy. SMPlayer was able to play them better. I've tried the solution here [URL] and it does not work at least for me. Fourth the fans went completely crazy, running as mainly when I have to use smplayer, I've found some complains about that [URL] but the solution does not apply to my computer.

Then I've tried a fresh install hoping that some of the troubles would not appear. The only trouble solved was the look and feel. Mouse the same trouble, stuttered, choppy videos on vlc, fans running all the time. And now it was impossible to install the wireless proprietary driver Broadcom sta. The only solution was to come back to Lucid. A fresh install of Lucid and mouse working ok, no troubles seeing videos in vlc, fans working absolutely normal and no troubles to install the wireless driver.

Debian :: Fresh Install Sid - No Videos ?

Apr 22, 2011

I just did a fresh Debian instal & upgraded to Sid. I had the repositories set to get the codecs & audio & video was OK but somewhere along the line of my system set up (adding software) I lost the ability to play videos. I must have nuked a library or something I needed but I am not sure what. Totem just shows lines and plays sound.

I checked & I have ffmpeg , w64codecs and libdvdcss2 which was what I thought I needed.

I would hate to have to start from scratch

OpenSUSE :: 11.2 Upgrade To KDE 4.3.5 Says Failed - But Installs Just Fine?

Feb 15, 2010

OpenSuse and rpm. Been using Debian for 7 years, so be gentle. I upgrade KDE 4.3.1 to 4.3.5 through the one-click install. After confirming some actions due to dependencies the install runs and in the end it said it failed to install a bunch of packages. These packages installed just fine and everything works as it should.

I was wondering if this happens more often, as it makes me kinda nervous if the installer warns me? Perhaps even more if it warns about things that aren't correct.

Debian :: Get Exim To Use The Correct Domain Name?

Apr 20, 2010

I got this bounceback recently and I'm unsure of how to correct the problem. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [withheld]@sbcglobal.net SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<www-data@localhost> SIZE=2011: host sbcmx3.prodigy.net [207.115.21.22]: 553 5.5.4 <www-data@localhost>... Real domain name required for sender address

The headers for the offending message are as follows:

[Code]....

What's interesting is that in some places the correct domain is given, but the return-path and the envelope-from are set incorrectly. I should add a few things: this machine is used only to send email newsletters and for email generated by the websites; staff email is handled elsewhere the output of hostname is myhost the output of hostname -f is myhost.mydomain.net when I ran dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, I set the system mail name to "localhost" so as to "'qualify' mail addresses without a domain name." I have a feeling this is the source of my problem, but when I set this to mydomain.net, I ran into another problem: I essentially disabled local mail. Messages to root (e.g., the results of cron jobs) would show up in my logs as root@mydomain.net. I want local mail to follow the rules set forth in /etc/aliases, not be converted to local-account@mydomain.net.

Debian :: No Internet With Fresh Netinst Install

Apr 16, 2010

Recently, I did a netinst Debian install (on a C554US compaq presario), and while the net worked fine during install, I didn't seem to have a network connection (I use dhcp, mind you) or even an eth0 set up. I've used Debian before, but it was awhile back and I can't remember it all that well, but I DO remember having had net back then (previous version). I'm using Debian Testing, if that helps explain what might be wrong, and I can't help but feel it is my own mistake which caused it.

Debian :: Jessie Hangs / Freezes After Fresh Install

Dec 8, 2015

I installed Jessie day before yesterday on a freshly formatted partition. After a random time, it hangs. If I am playing music at the time, the music continues for a few more seconds _after_ the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive, if that is useful.

Sine I did not understand how to pick the desktop during the installation, I installed Gnome. Afterwards, I installed KDE. Now I have a lot of Gnome stuff around I don't really need. But they are in principle compatible, right?

This morning, the hang was almost immediate after logging on. Only Iceweasl and Amarok and a Konsole were running. I attempted to start Icedove, when everything hung.

Here is the relevant part of the syslog.

Dec 8 07:41:38 jon-desktop rsyslogd:
[origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.4.2" x-pid="775" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"]
rsyslogd was HUPed
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^

- games
- www-data (obviously no Apache is installed)

I was wondering if there was a way to avoid this from a minimal install?

Debian Configuration :: Fresh Install - Using LVM For Mount Points

Feb 6, 2011

I'll start a fresh installation of a debian stable server and I would like to use LVM on this. So, I started to read lots of documents about LVM and found different flavors on partitioning with it. I'm thinking in a partition schema which might use LVM for those mount points that tends to grow in time, for instance:

/boot (primary partition)
/ (primary partition)
/home (lvm)
/usr (lvm)
/var (lvm)
swap (lvm)

Am I right on this schema?
