After getting lots of problems with usplash, I removed id and installed splashy on my Debian/sid box, but could not start splashy.
I got the following error:
I tried to open [url] but for some reason I was not able.
After installing and configuring splashy, my system doesn't start. There appears the image of the theme I selected with splashy (which is the debian logo and a loading bar), but the bar doesn't load and it appears for just a second and then there's a black screen. When pressing F2 for text mode, it just stays at *Starting Boot splash manager splashy and nothing happens
BTW I use grub2 what can I do? should I edit /boot/grub/grub.conf? (I supose the file is there, isn't it?)
I thought i would be able to access and modify the files on my system with an ubuntu live cd, but I couldn't, is there another way to access the grub files to modify them if I can't boot debian? (and I don't have another OS installed)
I saw something like "depmod not found for the splashy to work" in the boot message. I enabled the boot log, but the message is still not recorded.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Debian lenny with kernel 2.6.26-2-686 without desktop and with splashy installed.
Inside /etc/rc2.d/ I've a link to launch a full screen opengl application (a game). After several minutes the X crash.
To try a little this issue, instead of launching my app, I tried to launch "xinit glxgears" using a link in /etc/rc2.d. After 5 reboots, the glxgears crashes 5 times with the same dmesg message.
If I uninstall splashy or instead of launching glxgears using a link in /etc/rc2.d I launch it from the console, the crash never happens.
I'm using:
following message appears in dmesg after the crash:
I have installed splashy from sid. Rest of the system is squeeze, and put the parameter "vga=791 splash quiet" in the kernel parameter...
Unfortunately this is not working properly. It does load the splash image as intended, but it then just hangs here, and does not load the OS unless I press enter. (I asume that something is hangning, but I cannot see the shell from here, and ctrl+f2-f6 is not working so I cannot get to any tty).
Then after boot, I can only see the / partition. But not /home. Duing a fdisk -l shows up the partitions, so they are there, just not mounted at boot?
If I press F2 at boot, before the image shows up, it does actually boot without any issues at all. It must be something with the image loading that is causing this.
Does splashy work on slackware 13.1 x64? I've been to Alien Bob's site only to find out that splashy is supported for slackware 12.0.

Attempting to fix this with aptitude or 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --install' or 'sudo apt-get -f install' (as suggested elsewhere) brings me no joy either. Is there a fix so I can remove splashy and repair kpackagekit? How do I kill splashy so i can repair kpackagekit?

I've tried to install Usplash, but the package was broken.I tried to install it via Softpedia, but it was missing the artwork .so.I've also tried to install SplashY, but it is also a broken package! How can I install this splash screen?
I noticed after upgrading my Dell D820 from 11.3 x 64 to 11.4 x64 that splashy seems to crash while trying to render the theme (while hibernating). Running a splashy test returns the same error: "Splashy ERROR: Couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -10". Using the default theme instead or re-installing splashy does not make any difference.

I'm trying to install Debian on Dell XPS L501, and there are lots of problems...
1- Resolution is 800x600! I guess, I need to add that there is no xorg.conf file, and I couldn't create it by running `Xorg -configure`. It said the number of screens didn't match number of detected devices or something like that! I'd be really happy if this gets solved!
2- Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3/4/... doesn't work! Sometimes Alt+Directional keys works. but most of the time it doesn't!
3- I can't get the loud speakers to work, and I couldn't compile Alsa from source... I'll try again, but does anyone know if there is a specific package I need to install to get them to work? (Realtek ID 665)
4- Keys are not working right... Function keys don't work... But the worse thing, is that if let's say Fn+F2 is supposed to disable wireless, F2 does!
I was wondering if Debian Net install would work on a Dell machine. Because when I installed Windows on it I had actually go online with my other computer to find the damn dell drivers. So just wondering if Debian would detect the dell devices and actually have drivers for it.Yes, I realize it's probably a completely stupid question.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI used to be an Ubuntu user(yeah, shame on me), so I basically migrated to Debian. Without much further ado I want to come to the problem which I am facing.I am currently using "Squeeze" 6.0 with the AMD64-Architecture. I'm trying to connect to the Internet via the T-Home Surfstick W 102, I've also got the drivers for it I just don't know if they work under Linux. "lsusb" gives me the following: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 083a:d522 Accton Technology Corp. Speedport W 102 Stick IEEE 802.11n USB 2.0 Adapter
I downloaded Ndiswrapper to see if I can establish a connection but whenever I tried to install it I got the following error: "makefile:34 cannot find kernel version in etc. , is it configured?".(I hope I followed the instructions correctly in the file). Then I tried to install the drivers using Wine but I guess it was pointless 'cause the programme does not start.
I just installed a fresh copy of stable Debian, and apt-get installed Iceweasel and Tor/Privoxy (apt-get install tor automatically obtains Privoxy). I went into /etc/privoxy/config and uncommented the socks4a line that makes Tor and Privoxy work together. I made sure /etc/init.d/tor and /etc/init.d/privoxy were both started, Then I got iceweasel-torbutton with apt-get. I fired up Iceweasel and turned on Torbutton, but after a while I get the Privoxy page error with every website I go to. I tried doing "torify iceweasel" in the terminal, but I get the same Privoxy page error. What settings do I need to change?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm evaluating Debian for use as my main system (on my laptop). Currently I'm using arch linux, and am pretty satified except the need for too much manual configuration. What I'm looking for a system, which is similar to arch in that, but is more automated when it comes to configurations:
- can be build from a minimal base, with only the software that is needed, sort of "tailored" to my own needs; the system will therefore be relatively lightweight, with no unnecessary things consuming resources)
- does not require fiddling to much in configurations (I agree that some degree is necessary, due to the tailoring)
- handles well upgrades (this is where arch looks really promising, due to the rolling release, even with the disadvantage of loosing some of the stability)
One of the things I did not like about arch was the feeling to have a system which is built from several pieces that don't quite fit together. I guess that it is a consequence of the fact that some things are not configured right, or configured at all.
I have a server running at my home configured to host a few websites. All of which are live and production ready. The server has virtually no packages installed and I use a 3rd party dns server. The only services the server uses is nginx (http server) + php5-fpm (PHP), and openssh-server (secure shell).
The problem is my simple php contact forms don't work. I'm certain it isn't the php form code but rather my server configuration because the form works perfectly on my local machine. Finding an answer has proven difficult. I've tried setting up a full blow mail server when really all I need is the ability to send mail using the php mail() function.
It simply does not sync.Running debian squeeze with Gnome.I have tried updating to the latest testing version. dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.491.tar.gz
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my debian install. I 've got a laptop with 3 OS:
First I installed windows.
Then I installed ubuntu 15.04 in an encrypted partition, and another partition with /boot (/dev/sda6) created when I installed Ubuntu.
And, finally I installed Debian 8 in an encrypted LVM (/dev/sda8) with 3 partitions (/, /home and swap), and a /boot (/dev/sda7) partition created when I installed Debian.
Needless to say that both /boot partitions are not encrypted
Previously I had a similar configuration with ubuntu 14.04 and Debian wheezy.
The problem is that I can't start the system by using the Debian grub (/dev/sda7). So Ihave to boot the system using Ubuntu's grub (/dev/sa6). The second part of the problem is that when I boot Debian using /dev/sda6 (ubuntu's grub) , plymouth does not work.
I tried purging grub and reinstalling it again with the ubuntu partition mounted, and it did not work.
I did not have this problem with my previous configuration (with wheezy and xubuntu 14.04) ...
I cannot log on. I don't know if this is related, I was setting up for remote desktop, setup a password for the remote session. After rebooting, my normal user and password do not work and my rdp password does not work.

CJK input via ibus works for Qt4 applications such as Kate and Kwrite.However, CJK input via ibus does not work automatically with Qt5 applications, such as sqlitebrowser. I can get ibus running with Qt5 applications if I launch the application from the console like this:

I have a motherboard Gigabyte H110M-H DDR3 1.0 and a VGA Nvidia NVS 300 (It doesn't have HDMI connector, but after Debian installation, it shows audio HDMI), After installling Debian 8.4 Jessie amd64, I noticed the sound doesn't work, the motherboard audio codec is a Realtek ALC887, I don't have a HDMI Monitor, nor my VGA has HDMI Connector, but is a little bit strange that Debian recognizes HDMI Audio, if a run "# cat /proc/asound/cards" it shows me two audio cards, the HDMI and the ALC887 and if I run "# cat /procs/asound/modules", both cards are using snd_hda_intel. It is installed PulseAudio and Pavucontrol, I have checked if the audio was muted, but the sound volume is set to 100%, I don't know what to do anymore... I have a computer with a realtek codec too, but it's another model ALC665 or something like that, and the system is equipped with an ATI HD 5450 with HDMI Audio, I have checked the what modules the Debian is using, and both uses the snd_hda_intel, but the sound works with HDMI and Realtek Codec.
