I just blindly install 'java' in GNU/Linux Debian SID -- so I could use it as a plugin for iceweasel -- Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. I was used to Debian's APT to take care of things for me as it had done for more years than I could remember. (Being a desktop user/programmer and a beginner system network admin). I want a clean install of java plugin for iceweasel. So I want to remove completely all java related packages --
How do I know which is which and if they are safe to remove without affecting any other part of the system? Now, to install -- what do I need to install in order for iceweasel to have the Java plugin and let java work as it should? I prefer from the Debian package. But if it doesn't work, I'll accept JRE from the java site and install them myself.
VirtualBox is awesome tool for experiment and learning Linux.On the Linux guest OS, I installed standard system without Xorg.i expected it remove all the packages that come along with gnome-terminal previously.Only gnome-terminal was removed, 750kB free space. Now the system have 149MB packages as waste data IMHO.It doesn't look right to me.
Is there any way to quickly remove multiple related packages from the command line instead of having to enter the name of every single one? I am trying to remove OpenOffice from my server running 10.04. It would work nicely if I could get a list of packages without line breaks, such as the list displayed by aptitude when upgrading. That way I could just paste the package list into the terminal. However, "aptitude search 'openoffice'" dumps a long list on many lines that cannot be used that way.
I was previously using openjdk but for some reason F13 kept constantly crashing no matter what web browser i was using. So i uninstalled the openjdk and openjdk-plugin packages and installed sun java from the rpm as showed here: URL...tough vlc kept playing sound after that so it wasn't totally dead. So how do i remove sun java from my system and any idea why it might be crashing like this?
This might be a simple answer but I cannot figure it out. I recently installed K9Copy and a lot of other packages were installed along with it. Now I want to uninstall it, but only K9Copy uninstalls, not everything else. How can I find and uninstall all the dependent packages that came along with it? Is there a way to get rid of everything at once?
In the future I plan on switching video card brands and I was wondering if there is a way to delete or edit packages on a hard disk install from a Live CD? Also, will switching brands of video card cause a fedora install to crash upon booting?
This is my commit log that I got from synaptic. I was trying to compile a application but was getting too many errors due to dependencies that I didn't have installed and so I tried installing them but kept getting more errors so I decided to cancel the compile altogether so I can I easily purge all of these packages?
I can't install or uninstall packages using apt nor synaptic. when i try to install something, dpkg hangs on the unpacking stage. it will also tell me that file lists are missing from packages when i try to uninstall them. or it will tell me it cannot find an archive for various packages. dpkg --configure -a # does not work,
I was trying to compile a new (stable) kernel and got an error when I tried "make xconfi packages and uninstalling 81 packages (will attatch pix once home). I'm using Fedora14 with KDE packages and uninstalling 81 packages. I'm using Fedora14 with KDE so much stuff to get qt-devel?
I found out that to compile my new kernel - which requires 'qmake' - I need to install the "qt-devel" package. Doing so - according to the package manager - would require uninstalling 81 packages and downgrading almost 50 other packages.
I'm running under Fedora 14 w/ KDE and it's asking to remove things like Amarok and OpenOffice. Am I missing a step or something?
I am trying to uninstall the packages that were installed as part of kubuntu desktop. I have gotten ~3 quarters of them, but didn't know if there was a better way than trying to pore over synaptic.
I try to install the java plugin but the java test pages show not installed. I have tried the openjdk-6-jdk package and the Oracle/Sun 1.6.0_26 version to no avail.
Is there some good instructions page someplace? I have yet to find a set of instructions that provides something clear that works.
This is my first post and I'm pretty new on Debian. I had used Ubunu for a while now and I've decided to move on Debian Squeeze.But I've one problem: I've a Java programm to install and the installer is GUI Java based. When I run the script, I've the next message:
Preparing to install. Extracting the JRE from the installer archive.Unpacking the JRE.Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive.Configuring the installer for this system's environment.Launching installer Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead. Preparing CONSOLE Mode Installation. But this program is not able to run the installation in console mode.
I've tried to install sun-java6-jre but without success.Has anyone an idea to help me install this programm? My Configuration: Debian Squeeze 6.0 amd64.
I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.
how, and if, I enable 3Dnow, and other CPU related features?
I'm not having any problems or anything to that effect. I am only curious. Is this something that's automatically done? Is this something I must do during compile and install of applications?
haunted@haunted-desktop:~$ sudo grep flags /proc/cpuinfo flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
If this is something I must enable manually per application, then for example, if I wanted it enabled for FlightGear, how would I go about doing that?
I'm trying to compile JGR, rJava, etc. for use w/ my updated R. My configuration of Ubuntu (9.10 Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-22-generic) and R (version 2.11.1; from lib.stat.cmu.edu source) shouldn't be terribly unusual. But, all my efforts to compile Java programs for R fail, possibly because of something in my Ubuntu configuration of Java.First, I ran: R CMD javareconf. The output from that tells me that "JAVA_HOME is not a valid path, ignoring" and the cpp flags are set to nothing. The javareconf fills most of the variables with references to openjdk. JAVA_HOME, as far as I can tell, points to a properly installed copy of Sun Java. When I run update.packages(checkBuilt=T) with this, it unsurprisingly tells me that "One or more Java configuration variables are not set" and all of my Java based programs fail to compile.
I've tried switching the default Java to the Sun version using "sudo update-alternatives --config java". Now, javareconf fills in the cpp flag and variables point to the Sun version, though I still get the error msg that JAVA_HOME is not a valid path (though javareconf sets the home path to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/jre). When I try to compile rJava, I get the error: rJava, "JNI types differ from the native type."Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? Alternatively, is there somewhere I can report these problems so they might get fixed in future versions?I suspect I can't be the only person having these problems.
I have the following error in 10.04. I've tried several times to uninstall, resolve, install these dependencies and am at my wits end now. This morning I gave up on OpenJDK and installed Sun JDK, hence the sun versions below. But this error is stopping me from installing anything else.

I am running Debian Squeeze. How can I download packages in Java? For example I need the javax.mail package.
In windows, I simply download the JAR and point my classpath to that JAR.... How does this work in linux/debian? Is there apt-get command that I can use to get java packages?
how to display the modules related to my wifi card, using lsmod all the kernel modules are displayed but I would like to display just the related to my wifi, is there a way to do this?
I understand it is not generally a good idea to mix 13 and 13-current packages but I am installing OpenProj which requires JDK and the installed JRE (6-18) is up-level from 13's JRE (6-16) and back-level from the 13-current JDK (6-19). Presumably JRE and JDK should be at the same level. Would it be better to take both JRE and JDK to 13-current (6-19) or to take both to 13 (6-16)?
I've got this weird problem: when I reboot my Debian 8.3 server, I have to run through the crypto unlocking processes for my encrypted volumes a few times before I actually get to a login screen. The operation times out 85% of the time, leaving me to reboot and try over and over until the system is happy.

I had the same problem in previous builds where I chose Twofish instead of AES, and I was hoping that the timeouts would be fixed by switching to AES as my CPU has the AES instruction set. Obviously that didn't make a damn bit of difference.
What am I doing wrong, or what should I change in my setup? The encryption is a requirement. Could the problem be caused by something as stupid as using a RANDOM KEY instead of a PASSPHRASE on /tmp and swap?
On Debian repo I found virtualbox-ose packages there. What will be the difference in operation/function between their packages and the packages download on virtualbox.org website?
I am working on a project which targets both 32 and 64 bit architectures at the moment. My system is amd64. I added i386 architecture using this guide. However, my problem is
Code: Select allapt-get install package-name:i386
prompts the removal of currently installed packages (amd64 arch.) which is the problem.

Some of the packages I am talking about are

Now, as of now, I want to carry out the compilation using 32 bit libraries, however, I really don't want to install 64bit version of all prerequisites each time I switch the compilation from 32 bit to 64. Is there any way to have both architectures at the same time?
