I run Debian with Gnome on a beat up workhorse ThinkPad. I upgraded to Jessie last week with just one issue. Before the upgrade, I could plug in a USB drive (I use a couple of WD MyPassports most often) and they would mount, read, and write without a hitch.
Since the upgrade, when I plug in a USB drive, the file manager (3.14.1) sees the drive, but when I click on the drive to access/mount it, I receive a dialog box reading: Oops! Something went wrong. Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '/media/user/MyPassport1': Input/output error.
If I hit the little “eject” button in the file manager, then mount the drive as root from a command prompt [e.g., mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external] I can run a directory of the drive, but ls -l /media/external fails. From the command prompt I am unable to perform reads or writes to the drive.
Rebooting into recovery mode (i.e., without Gnome), I get the same behavior with CLI messages reporting I/O errors with the drive. I can run a directory, but ls -l, reads, and writes fail.
This behavior is the same on all three USB ports. It is not limited to these MyPassport devices.
The drives work flawlessly on another headless machine upgraded to Jessie the same day. And on another still running Wheezy.
If I boot the ThinkPad from a live CD (Mint 14, I believe) the USB drives mount, read, and write fine.
My BIOS is up to date, 1.52.
lspci -v says this about USB ports:
Code: Select all00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])

Using a USB ISO, I recently installed Debian 8.0 Jessie (64-bit, Xfce DE) to a new computer. I usually lose my Wifi connection after 1-3 minutes when donwloading/uploading at around max. speed 4 Mbps/512 kbps. Sometimes it will last 15+ minutes.
When lightly browsing it can usually stay connected for 15-30 minutes. I have to disable and enable Wifi using NetworkManager to connect again. If I remember correctly, there were problems with the Wifi connection even during the installation of Debian.
This Wifi USB adapter works fine on my old computer with Debian 7.7 (32-bit). No problems with the Wifi connection yesterday on my old computer during 10+ hours of activity.
This Wifi adapter also works fine on this new computer when I boot from a live USB (Rescatux 0.30.2) downloading and uploading at max. speed for 1+ hour.
I already tried some suggestions I found online, but they didn't work:
* changing Wifi channels between 1, 6, 11 in my router settings
* changing WPA-WPA2 to WPA2 in my router settings
* ignore IPv6 in NetworkManager
* change probe_wait_ms from 500 ms to higher value by adding Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=1000 or Code: Select alloptions mac80211 probe_wait_ms=3000 to /etc/modprobe.d/mac80211.conf and rebooting
* disable Power Management for Wifi adapter (not supported)
* ...
I can also post the output of commands from Rescatux or my old computer if needed.
Output of commands on Debian 8.0 64-bit (I edited out some info, MAC, ...; not sure if that is important):

I love using wheezy but i keep having to take my computer downstairs to hook it up to router through ethernet, i need it to connect through wifi and stay connected.
heres my problem, if i use live image and connect to network its fine but during installation process it gets to the network configuration, it will keep disconnecting at dhcp and if i try and continue it gives me the error packages broken due to it not staying connected.
MY WIFI CARD IS A TP-LINK WDN 4800
if i try and just do a net install then it doesnt show my wifi network.
it uses in both cases ar93xx atheros driver for installing, i just need to know how i can try and keep a stable connection over wifi so it can install over wifi so i dont have to keep taking pc downstairs to install it.
i done something that stopped me being able to login into wheezy i was left at black screen with blinking command line, i have reverted to mint debian until i can get a stable connection over wifi to install wheezy again.

I use a 'wifi hotspot' provided by my mobile (android) phone for internet/email and to connect to my wifi capable HP p1102w printer. Installation and use of the printer worked perfectly until I bought a new phone, again android with 'wifi hotspot' capability. The wifi connection on my new phone works fine for internet and email but it totally fails to detect my printer.
I have tried to detect and connect to the printer using system-config-printer and using the HP utility hp-setup. Both fail to detect the printer on the 'new' wifi network.
The old network connection which detects the printer as expected gives the following output:
Code: Select allpat@debian:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6c:3b:e5:91:ec:0c

The new (problematic) network connection which fails to detect the printer gives the following output:
Code: Select allpat@debian:~$ ifconfig

I've just installed Debian Wheezy on my old Toshiba Satellite A10 (Intel celeron 2.20 GHz, 1GB Ram, 30 GB hard drive) and tried to connect to my home wifi network with a usb wifi adapter (Hamlet HNWU254G). lsusb in terminal says it is Ralink RT2501. Ethernet worked fine, so I installed firmware-ralink package, the adapter was recognized and I was able to connect.
However, I heard quite frequently a strange whistle and realized it came from the usb wifi adapter; it also got very very hot. Other strange thing: the computer some times freezes: screen flickering, loss of control of mouse and keyboard, need to shut down with power button.
At first I thought it was the video card not being powerful enough for Gnome (even classic), but then I installed Xfce4 and nothing changed. Instead, when working offline, freezes happen less frequently (but still happen).
I've tried the usb adapter on another laptop with wheezy: it gets hot, but there are no whistles and freezes.

Its been like this since fedora 12, in fedora 11 its no problem, i hope it will be fixed in fedora 13 and i am waiting..., and after fedora 13 released the problem is still the same...
I use Intel 3945ABG. wifi connect with no problem and after few seconds its disconnected, and re-asking my saved password (which is stupid since i save the password so fedora won't ask me that stupid question again).

Wifi seems to disconnect fairly requently, sometimes reconnecting automatically and sometimes requiring me to re-enter the wep password.
I would like to make it so it stays connected.
The router is not very close, but I think it's close enough. I even moved it closer. Other devices (such as my N900 mobile phone) hold the connection without issue.
One complication is that there are several devices all with the same SSID, though there should be one which is clearly stonger.
Details below.

I never had this problem with Ubuntu before and I am now confused. This is a clean install and I have not change anything about my AP so don't why this is happening.
Every 5min or so my wifi keeps disconnecting and sometimes have problems reconnecting. I also have Windows on this machine and it does not do this at all. My AP is set to channel 9(changing it makes no difference), WPA2. Logs below
Code:
[ 15.668746] alloc irq_desc for 33 on node -1
[ 15.668748] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1

I've had recurring problems with Ubuntu wifi on my Thinkpad before. Usually powering down and toggling the physical wifi switch off, then toggling wifi on again after the system has booted would solve the problem. This time that isn't working. Wireless is completely absent from the network-manager applet. Wireless works for me 99% of the time for me, but every few months will "disappear" for some reason. Does anyone have any advice or know a thread they can point me to? I've posted the results for 'lspci -k', iwconfig and 'lshw -C network' bellow:
Code:
$:lspci -k

I have an IBM ThinkPad W700 running 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. At the office I normally connect it to the Ethernet since it's never connected very reliably to the wifi there (drops out 2 or 3 times per day, usually at the worst possible time, of course), but it always worked just fine with Netgear WGR614v5 at home... until a week or two ago.
I used to be able to come home, take the laptop out of suspend mode, and it would connect to the wifi. Occasionally there'd be some hitch and I'd have to restart the network manager (sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart) but this was only sometimes, and when I did, it'd always work. But now, when I get home from work, I need to restart the entire system to get it to connect properly again. Without restarting the whole system, it either doesn't scan for wifi networks, it doesn't find any wifi networks, it keeps stuffing up my wifi password, or it connects and gets 0% signal.
Presumably, some driver was updated recently and it doesn't work so well. What's the easiest way to find out what drivers have been updated lately, and revert to a previous version? And what else can I try restarting so I don't have to restart the entire system? I've tried /etc/init.d/network-manager restart, /etc/init.d/networking restart, /etc/init.d/network-interface restart, and restart network-manager. I've also tried turning the wireless switch at the front of the laptop off and on, many times.
Code:
$ lspci -nn
[...]
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless Wifi Link 5300 [8086:4236]
[...]
$ ifconfig wlan0
[Code]...
The info above is when I've taken my laptop out of suspend mode and it won't connect to the network. lsmod doesn't say anything about wifi nor wireless; iwlist does see my network, which my older Januty laptop is connected to without drama.

I am a newbie when it comes to linux, but know a little (the little bit of dangerous stuff).I have set up a home web server for when I am testing website using PHP, mysql and other funky stuff. This is a reflection of my production server as far as I can with my limited knowledge.I am also using this box to learn more about the Linux operating system and I doing this slowly. Before I installed the GUI (Gnome) I was using a text based server, this was working fine and running absolutey fine and never disconnecting. This has been fine and working 24/7 for around a month.
At the weekend (just gone) I ran the following at terminal
# apt-get install gnome
This gave me a GUI so I could try some other things.
When the computer is idle the network card seems to drop the connection, Im trying to see after how long it does this. I have seen this work fine after an hour, but after a night, the network has been dropped. This is a hard wired connection to the router.first time I thought the PC had froze so rebooted the PC, but the second time, I plugged a mouse into it and noticed the the network icon had changed, after right clicking on it, i noticed that It had dropped the connection. After clicking the "reconnect" option it is back up and running.

I was wondering if anyone uses older laptops (for e.g., Centrino M) like Thinkpads from the T40-series.I am finding LXDE to be extremely buggy. There's been more than one occasion in which I've been totally surprised at weird 'events.' It's been so often that it annoys me now and I wish to switch DEs now.
I guess my choices are Gnome, KDE and xfce. I think KDE 4 will be too bloated so I guess that leaves Gnome and xfce. I also read that LXDE is actually a 'beta' (release?) even though LXDE versions are in 'release' form. I come across too many 'bugs' so I think the other desktops, even if it takes up a bit more resources, is a compromise I have to take.
Is xfce the best choice for an older laptop like mine? I thought LXDE sounded great and had great potential but the amount of bugs I find and the fact it looks like there's not much of a team developing and working on it, is disconcerting. Hopefully, things will improve but I don't want to work out or encounter 'bugs' on my laptop so often.

I have an old laptop I bought for $20 & thought I'd install Linux & XP in a dual-boot. It couldn't handle the MINT installer, so I thought I'd go with Debian. XP was already on there, so I ran the Debian install CD (LXDE), set up the 2nd partition, and finished installation. It rebooted once, but since then will not load Debian.
I get the GRUB menu, pick the default (not single user), it runs through all the lines of text down to the block that says "starting gnome display manager gdm" & maybe 4 lines after that (which I can't read in time)... then the screen goes blank, there's a brief flicker, the CPU thinks a bunch, and then there's usually a low-pitched BOOP at which point the CPU stops thinking & the screen just stays blank. The power is still on, but nothing happens.
Anyway, I don't know if it has an ATI card or whatever (saw something online alluding to that being a problem.) I also don't know how to use the single user mode, or how to display error messages, or do anything useful in the command line. Haha... But I'm a novice programmer & "computer literate" outside of Linux, so I can learn.
The laptop has 128MB of memory (which functions perfectly according to MemTest 86), I think a 450MHz PIII processor, 20GB HD (split between XP and Linux), a dead battery, a slightly damaged Power Supply, damaged screen...

But when Squeeze goes from 'testing' to 'stable' in December... does Wheezy get promoted from 'sid/unstable' to 'testing' at the same time?.
I started my life in Linux with and currently use Ubuntu, and it runs decent(barely). However, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, and because of strange little issues and increasing bloatware, I have been forced to strongly consider the "mother OS": Debian.
The reason for my original question is that I want to run whatever the current "testing version" is. And if Wheezy gets promoted at the same time Squeeze does, then I will just wait the 4 weeks instead of slogging through another install(I prefer fresh installations vs upgrading within). I know the test versions of Debian are a bit more active than stable, but I have used Ubuntu for over 2 years, so I have some experience dealing with Terminal commands, package management, gnome, etc...I am also currently VirtualBoxing a copy of Squeeze.

I got "stuck" with stable up to now and want to upgrade to Wheezy. But, although I've done this before, I'm having a dependency problem I wanted to ask about before breaking my system somehow. This is the /etc/apt/sources.list, ready for Wheezy:
[URL]
So, I regularly use aptitude as my package manager. After updating the database with aptitude update, trying aptitude full-upgrade gives me a huge of conflicts.
[code]....
But, if I use apt-get dist-upgrade, I get no conflicts. if I dist-upgrade with apt-get, will that affect my daily usage of aptitude (which I prefer)? I know APT is a single database and apt-get and aptitude are just different interfaces, but I guess differences might rise when marking packages as automatically or manually installed.

I dont want openjdk packages on my system, in Kubuntu I had a few troubles with them trying to make SqlDeveloper to work around. So this is what I see after a java -version:
Code: Select alledgardo@debian:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
edgardo@debian:~$
I've been uninstalling openjdk from synaptic and with other few commands on the terminal so far and I think I probably broke it. I have no /usr/lib/jvm folder only /usr/lib/java/jdk1.8.0_45.But everytime I wish to start up Eclipse it shows the logo for a few seconds and that's it.... never gets opened. And in /usr/bin$ I only have this symbolic link....
Code: Select alllrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 abr 19 18:57 java -> /etc/alternatives/java
I've tried different tutorials I found surfing the web but none of 'em seem to work.
