Debian Hardware :: Enabling A Pointing Stick On Laptop
Jun 3, 2015
I have a Dell Latitude D400 laptop running Wheezy (I can't upgrade to Jesse at the moment) and I want to try out the Pointing Stick on my keyboard. If you Google "Pointing Stick" you can find images of it. It's located in the middle of the "G", "H", and "B" keys. Now it doesn't do squat so I'd like to enable the Pointing Stick. How exactly would I do that?
I'm not looking to use it full time, I just want to play around with it.

My test server is going well for the past 2 months. I have learned a lot from searching the net for how to's and forums on questions I have. My next task on the to-do list is enabling ssl on my mail server. I have the ssl setup with an automatic redirect from http to https.It is working fine with a minor issue.I have 2 domains and several subdomains on the server. Since I have enabled ssl, it seems for any of the domain/subdomain links I type in with a https://, it takes me to my mail server site. How can I have it set to only one secure link to my mail server?

I burned a live dvdrw with the hybrid live cd of debian 8.1 gnome and installed Debian onto the 32gb usb stick like this
8gb for /
22 for /home
2gb for swap
after chrooting into the usb stick with the live dvd-rw and installing grub2 there again cause the installation couldn't do it without chrooting first.. I wasn't able to boot from the laptop I installed Debian with but I could on my Desktop PC.
I wondered if you needed a copy of my grub.conf? so here is the pastebinnet of /boot/grub/grug.conf

This may be more suited for the networking forums, but I figured Community Cafe would be well rounded enough for someone to tell me if this is even possible (with minimal configuration that is).There are a few places I travel where I only have a wired connection to the Internet (no wifi), but when this happens is there a simple way to create an adhoc network so wireless devices can route through my computer and to the network? Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of getting an iPad or iPod Touch which have wireless connections, but in the cases where my laptop is using a wired ethernet connection and the wireless card isn't used, I'd like to create an adhoc wireless network that'll let such wireless devices work.

After several attempts at installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a Samsung N150 laptop/netbook, I have finally succeeded, but it won't boot without the installation USB drive being plugged in. Trying to boot it without the USB thumb drive it just stops at a black screen and does nothing.
With the USB drive in, it doesn't actually load up the installer, as you would expect, but boots normally into Ubuntu. Once booted, you can remove the drive and it runs fine without it. When you plug it in, it sees it as /dev/sdb, and the only hard drive is also seen as /dev/sdb. So it never mounts it. It can mount any other USB thumb drive normally.

How do I get internet connection through mobile broadband (internet stick Nokia CS 15) for my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens) with encrypted hard disc (LVM)? I have set up LVM using Ubuntu 10.04 Alternate install.
Earlier when I installed the ordinary desktop version (Ubuntu 10.04 desktop) using no encrypted disc the internet connection worked fine. Before I installed the software from the internet stick an image appeared (Nokia Modem) on the desktop. I dubbel clicked the image and through the files that appeared I installed the software. After that I clicked the Eject Volume and after some input I had my connection.
But now I dont get that image on my desktop when the stick is plugged in. I can imagine that I have to mount the stick some how. I can further imagine that the encrypted hard disc through its protection now stop me from this action.

I'm running Debian + LXDE in a VirtualBox. Here are the details:
Code: Select all➜ ~ hostnamectl
Static hostname: debian64
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: #############################
Boot ID: ###########################
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
I really would like to jump into my desktop environment when I start my machine without the need to enter my user name and password. Apparently this is very easy to do. I added the following lines to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: Select allpam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
And also added my user to the autologin group
Code: Select allgroupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a username autologin
As you can imagine, it didn't work. Otherwise I wouldn't be here... I also tried to install Slim and enable autologin adding the following line to the /etc/slim.conf
Code: Select allauto_login = yes
That didn't work either!
Am I missing anything? Enabling autologin in LXDE?

I have a dell optiplex configured with an extra PCI network card, because I plan to set it up as a gateway / LTSP server, but I have troubles getting the second network card to work. It is recognized during installation (where I can choose the primary network interface) and doing a
Code:
lshw -class network
After installation shows both network cards, with network 0 being labeled Disabled. I have tried configuring the other network interface in the /etc/network/interfaces file, but it has failed to work. I have also briefly looked at udev rules, but it seems that it renames the interfaces fine during bootup, as
Code:
dmesg | grep "udev"
Shows the following
Code:
[1.138307] udev: starting version 160
[6.003002] udev: starting version 160
[7.237092] udev: renamed network interface eth1 to ethlokal
[7.253775] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1
I also noticed a briefly shown "address collision" error of some sort during boot, but it never shown for long enough for me to read it through. The network card that is enabled is an Intel 825662EZ 10/100 ethernet controller, and the one that is disabled is a Realtek RTL-8139/8139C+.

How to enable persistent logging with systemd? I find it really weird that all this machinery that is systemd doesn't store persistent logs, what if I'm trying to retrieve some information regarding previous boots?
For instance: I have random suspend issues, after rebooting the computer there's no trace left in the logs of what happened, and furthermore (at least in Jessie) I can no longer see a pm-suspend log.
So, at first it sounds like all you have to do is edit journald.conf setting #Storage=auto to "persistent" and create the /var/log/journal directory, but then reading here /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian
Code: Select allEnabling persistent logging in journald
=======================================
To enable persistent logging, create /var/log/journal and set up proper permissions:
install -d -g systemd-journal /var/log/journal
setfacl -R -nm g:adm:rx,d:g:adm:rx /var/log/journal
and here [URL] ....
There are two main reasons why I decided to not enable persistent logging just yet ....
We did get corrupt journal files in the past where the journal then no longer worked at all [1]. With volatile you can just reboot and have a clean state again. Admittedly, the journal has seen a lot of improvements in the mean time and hopefully is more robust, so this point is no longer true.
We still install rsyslog by default. That means we get store them twice. This is something we don't want to do atm.

I have a problem with the unix firewall (gufw). I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition. The problem appears when I double click on the icon to bring it up for configuring. Everything is grayed out so I click on the "unlock" button. Normally, this is when gufw comes alive with color. But all I get now is a note on the bottom of the gray screen that says "Wrong Identification". Uninstalling and reinstalling UFW and GUFW didn't fix the problem. I would like to have my firewall working for me.

I have a netbook and the wireless card on it works fine. Whenever I wake it up after suspending for couple of hours, it seems like the wireless card is not awaking or the drivers are not working properly because I do not see any wireless networks after waking it up(for example in Wicd). If I do fresh restart, the wireless and wireless networks come back at the same place. So I am wondering if it is possible to restart the wireless card or the driver without restarting my netbook

I have some init scripts that launch some daemons that I wrote. I want Linux to generate a coredump anytime something crashes. I activated coredumps in /etc/security/limits.conf by adding the next line:
* hard core 100000 After rebooting, I run ulimit -a and I can see that coredumps are not activated: > root@computer:~# ulimit -a > core file size (blocks, -c) 0 First, I checked if there is any file script on my system that deactivates coredumps (greping ulimit -c 0 ), but I didn't find anything so far.
Then, I created a bogus c program..to double check if it's working, and I can confirm that it's not. The program is this

I've one lenovo 3000 g430 4152 laptop on which i have windows but previously installed debian 5.03 and for enabling the wireless i've to download broadcom b43legacy and install it by compiling because the backports kernel doesn't work with lenovo and after installing debian accidently switched of the wireless by the slide button on laptop
but on next boot i was not able to enable the wireless either by the slide button or fn+f5 which is the key for enabling it the wireless then on some forum i got advise that i can only re-enable by installing windows because lenovo drivers are available for only windows for this model... my question is that is there any solution for it in debian and also there is one more problem that i've to press fn+f8 twice on each boot for enabling the touchpad...

I have an very old computer who I want to have som a server. The OS who is installed now i Windows 95.
Hardware:
- MMX 200 Mhz
- 160 Mb Ram
- 2113 MB HDD (bad shape)
- Network card 10/100
- 2 USB 1.0
- CD
- Floppy
I wonder if I can install debian on it with a CD, who install it on a 16 GB USB-stick 2.0.
I wonder to if i can make so Debian takes like 20 MB in Ram or less? I will run it textbased.
I'd seen here that Debian must have at least 64 MB in Ram http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i ... n#id321935
But it's that true? I want a Debian who take ram like Damn Small linux.
The computer shall have ONE function. Run a tiny python script. It will read over 200 pages every 30:e second textbased. Thats what the python program will do. I must have internet connections.

I have a computer missing a HDD and I would like to be able to use it until I have bought a new HDD. I have seen it is possible to install the contents of a LiveCD to a usb stick, but is it possible to install a normal debian system to a usb stick and make it bootable? Example: can I make BIOS find my usb stick and make it the master HDD and then install debian on it by booting with an installation CD?
The advantages would be the possibility to modify the operating system and storing files, which is impossible when using a liveCD.

I just now down loaded firmware-brcm80211, I want to put it on a usb stick, so that when I am installing debian, and it asks to insert the "medium" that has the driver, I have it on a usb stick.
My question, do I just copy the package to the device(usb stick), or do I need to extract it onto the stick ?

When i try to connect to MySQL database with MySQL Workbench using root@localhost i get following message: Failed to Connect to MySQL at localhost:3306 with user root
Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.0.1' (using pasword: YES) which is ok, becouse 192.168.0.1 is not listed as a host from which MySQL server should accept connections.
I am a little confused, becouse i tell MySQL Workbench to connect using localhost, so server should (at least i think so) receive connection from 127.0.0.1
I think i had similar issue with PostgreSQL some time ago, but i just allowed connections from 192.168.0.1 then.
My host file is:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
#::1 ent-pc localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
