I wish installing MariaDB was as simple as installing MySQL. I purged MySQL and installed MariaDB instead. I ran mysql_secure_installation, and that ran fine, but for some reason, the password I set up doesn't seem to work. I've run mysql_secure_installation several times with no success.
However, running Code: Select allmysql -uroot when logged in as root or with sudo logs me in just fine, without even asking for my password. How do I set up a password for the MariaDB root user so that I don't need to be superuser to connect to MariaDB?
I'm coming from Linux Mint 17.2, and just installed 8.3.0. Now I am at work and discovered that I can't use git to connect to our BitBucket repository (hosted on scm manager) Every action that involves communicating with the remote repo results in this error: fatal: unable to access 'https://<repo url>: gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
I have been searching the web to find a solution and it seems the gnutls library is very picky. It does not seem to be possible to force git to use openssl instead without a manual compile. I could do that, but I don't want to since then I have a non-standard system and lose the automatic updates, and manage that manually. Could I somehow reconfigure Debian to use openssl over gnutls?
My computer has been running well for a couple of years with Ubuntu and the Gnome desktop. I use a very cheap webcam from PCWorld PC Line 1.3 Mega Pixels with Cheese and Skype which worked on Ubuntu. The new Ubuntu Unity desktop seems most unintuitive and reading that Ubuntu may not include Gnome for the next release is my reason to make the change to Debian. I am aware Ubuntu is a Debian derivative.
I have installed Debian Squeeze and everything is working properly apart from the webcam. When I open Cheese the webcam works but very slowly although it will not capture video. When I open Cheese > Preferences, I see the Device listed as USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video0) but greyed out. When I open Skype > Options > Video I see the same greyed out listing but no image appears in the test area.

My probelem is with alsamixer. I can't record anything; nothing I play back hasany sound. I have alsamixer capture set on mix. I know I recordedin the past with this setting, so I don't know what is happening. I amrecording from the internet.When I adjust the volume on playback in either alsamixer or kmix thevolume settings change on the other as well. when I adjust thevolume setting in capture it doesn't affect each other.If I have Kmix > inpur > capture enabled I can record, but the playbackdoesn't sound good. I would like to figure what is wrong with alsamixer.
Debian won't display Japanese characters properly, it shows them as symbols. Is there a language pack or a particular browser plugin I need to install? It's sort of a noobish question, but I looked for something related to this issue in my Package Manager, and didn't find anything that seemed suitable/related.
I have Apache setup on localhost with a wiki, ethercalc, etherpad and kanboard.
Wiki is on port 80, in /var/www/html so when someone enters domain into browser it comes up, which is what I want. It comes up lightning fast.
Problem is how to properly direct to other ports i.e. 8000, 8002 and 9001 for other applications. All others are in /usr/share.
I tried creating directories with .htaccess for each in /var/www/html, but if they even come up (kanboard completely unreachable) they are super slow, drop connection and usually don't render completely.
I've read that if you have access to Apache configuration .htaccess is wrong way to go and for security reasons app files shouldn't be directly located in /var/www/html?
i will try to keep this post short and to the point. i am currently running debian with kde and i am trying to edit /etc/apt/sources.list. i know that this file needs to be opened as root for the changes to it to be saved, so what im doing (in konsole) is:
concreteabstract@debian:~$: su Password: root@debian: /home/concreteabstract# kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
but that doesn't work, and the message i get is:
No protocol specified kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
I recently reinstalled Wheezy on my laptop and after the install was finished I installed the brcmsmac driver, using the instructions on this wiki page: [URL]. I have the device BCM43224. I noticed though that this driver seems worse compared to the proprietary broadcom-sta I had on my previous installation and so I would like to switch. I know that there is a guide on how to install the proprietary drivers on the wiki ( [URL]), but it feels like i should remove the free driver before I install the proprietary one, and I dont know how to do this .
So my question is: what is the proper way of changing from the open brcmsmac driver to the proprietary broadcom-sta driver?
Well at the moment i have just installed Debian 5. I've downloaded nvidia-linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run and i need someone to help me out step by step on how to install this properly.
Since I prefer bigger than default size fonts, I am having a problem using iceweasel. Web-pages, especially frames, are not drawn properly with overlapping and hidden text. I am thinking about alternatives that may exist than can replace iceweasel.
I have an hp pavilion 15-b106ed with UEFI. I disabled secure boot and installed debian jessie form the CD1 iso (RC1 installer) burned to an USB key. Installation went smoothly, but after rebooting I get grub's terminal-like screen saying:
"GNU GRUB version 2.02 beta2-9ubuntu1. Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported... etc"
The problem is that as soon as I turn on the computer that grub screen shows up and I can't boot from USB anymore nor access the BIOS settings, no matter how fast I press F9, F10 and such. I guess I have to tell him to boot from the USB using the grub terminal...
I've got a problem with touchscreen (NNK Switches 5.7" model: FT-CU04B). It is not supported under Linux, but I managed to get it working with usbtouchscreen module, after some modifications of course. It gets recognized by system now, it is possible to calibrate it correctly through xinput_calibrator but it isn't possible to "left click with it". I know that it's weird so I want to make myself clear - touchscreen recognizes touch - when touching button for example, it reacts with "going down" but when I'm releasing button, it "goes up" again, without action. I've tried mapping left mouse button with xinput set-button map 1 0 0 0 0 0, but without success, buttons remain "unclickable".

I'm running Testing and need to pass some parameters to my bttv tv tunner card, for this reason I created the following file /etc/modprobe.d/kozumi.conf with this content:
alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv options pll=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=1 card=151 tuner=38 gbuffers=4
The problem is that for some reason this options aren't properly set after booting the computer, I've tried different combinations for line 1 and 2 without success.
I'm used to rmmod the bttv driver and modprobe manually with those settings but I'd like to automate the process.
I installed debian and want to install compiz (properly).Read this thread Compiz and followed the instruction to install the packages. It mentions xorg.conf which does not exist where it tells me to look.I can type "compiz --replace" and it does do something but all the window borders disappear. I tried compiz setting manager - still same problem.And no visual effects (presumably due to missing xorg.conf)
I've just installed Debian and then installed the ATI driver to correct the resolution and to hopefully give me better performance, it seemed to give the opposite effect and has made my computer painfully slow and choppy.
I recently intalled Debian lenny and I'm having issues with some of the unicode characters. Instead of displaying the symbols properly it shows one of the following depending on font/app:
1) Square outline with four letters/numbers arranged inside 2) Just a blank square outline 3) Just a blank space
I haven't been able to test all possible characters, but from a quick check it seems that Cyrillic works properly, Japanese doesn't.A few Google searches later and I'm no wiser on how to fix the issue. Any help?
I'm trying to install debian on my HP laptop but get the following problem... After the live CD boot screen shows up i go to XFCE > install it loads vmlinuz and init.gz and after that the screen goes blank i tried graphical install, advanced install, advanced graphical install but those too didn't work also i tried all of these from LXDE menu but the same problem My laptop is HP pavillion dv6 its got an ATI radeon graphics card (hope there's no problem with the display) 4GB ram intel core i7 However the cd works fine with my old desktop computer which has no graphics card 256MB ram intel P4 CPU Do i need to set some boot parameters?
after installing Debian 6 on a server. When I try to install a software called ActiveCampaign, I get the following error ... "Your server does not appear to be handling sessions properly."I have install Apache, PHP, MySql and Perl already. Also, after the server restarts, I Webmin will not automatically start, even thou it is setup in the Webmin configuration to start with the server. I have to use /etc/init.d/webmin start from a command line after I su.
My last question is about ftp permissions. I have install proftpd and it seems to be working fine, but when I try to edit any file or upload, I can not. In order to upload and manipulate files, I am using WinSCP under root, wich is a big NO NO.Sorry for the three questions, but I figured I would ask all in one post, instead of creating multiple, since I already have your attention.
Debian "squeeze" AMD64 Some filenames, containing accented or other extended ASCII characters are not shown both in Nautilus and Terminal, nor in Virtual Console.
I also noticed than when asking octave interpreter (ran from terminal) to display character range from 97 to 140 the output was:
On the other hand, when executing the same query in qtoctave the characters are displayed properly.
I've tried to change the font that the gnome terminal uses, to no benefit.

in debian stable, what is the proper configuration to add in /etc/fstab in order to mount ntfs partitions automatically at boot time, for all users, and every user to have read, write and execute permissions ?
I am on debian jessie. I ran "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and midway through the upgrade my computer suddenly rebooted.
I wasn't paying close attention to the upgrade process so I didnt see if there was any error messages right before the reboot. The laptop was plugged in, fully charged and I've never had issues with overheating.
When I boot now I get to a shell with a message that says:
Code: Select allWelcome to emergency mode. After logging in type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" to try again to boot into default mode.
If I try "systemctl default" there's a message that simply says "Hangup", nothing else happens.
Looking through "journalctl -xb" I see this:
Code: Select allFailed to insert module 'autofs4' Failed to open /dev/autofs: No such file or directory Failed to initialize automounter: No such file or directory Failed to set up automount Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Automount Point.

Is this fixable without jumping through too many hoops or should I just reinstall the system? I need the computer for work so Im not gonna spend days trying to fix it without reinstalling.
The announcement of several new make scripts in the 2.6.32 release notes is very exciting.1.8. Easy local kernel configuration.Most people uses the kernel shipped by distros - and that's good. But some people like to compile their own kernels from kernel.org, or maybe they like following the Linux development and want to try it. Configuring your own kernel, however, has become a very difficult and tedious task - there're too many options, and some times userspace software will stop working if you don't enable some key option. You can use a standard distro .config file, but it takes too many time to compile all the options it enables.
To make easier the process of configuration, a new build target has been added: make localmodconfig. It runs "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG. Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. With this tool, you can strip a distro .config of all the unuseful drivers that are not needed in our machine, and it will take much less time to build the kernel. There's an additional "make localyesconfig" target, in case you don't want to use modules and/or initrds.
I know the problem has been partly solved in this old thread [URL] .....
Now we have Jessie as stable, yet LXDE doesn't shutdown properly:
On the same computers, Wheezy LXDE shut down very fast
I installed Jessie from the netinstall image.
On a 2007 computer, it's like the old days with a Pentium II running some version of Puppy Linux or Slitaz. The system shuts down after a while but the computer remains on.
On a 2013 laptop, I added the line init=/bin/systemd in the Grub default file as advised on the old thread above. The laptop shuts down after a while, the system first, then the hard disk goes to sleep, then all the leds are off.
If I run the magic command, the computer shutdowns in a breeze, perhaps even quicker than good old Wheezy:
Code: Select all# systemctl poweroff
Now, is this still a systemd bug? Doesn't look like it since the systemctl command works. Is it an LXDE bug? Looks like it in a way - if the LXDE shutdown button enabled the systemctl poweroff command, I suppose the button would work?
Is there a way to make the LXDE shutdown button run the systemctl poweroff command?
I'm glad Wheezy is still with us because I wouldn't install Jessie for newbies — they'd think shutdown (through clicking on a button) is even worse than in Windows.
When I run it, the window shows up but Qt doesn't draw in the background. I end up with phantoms from windows behind it: URL...The window will draw the background correctly when I resize it -- MOST of the time. And sometimes there will be a noticeable delay between resizing and drawing in the window.Am I missing some libraries? Is this a bug? Maybe there's something else I can look up to find a solution?
I'm running sid, my window manager is fluxbox, and my video card is a GeForce FX Go5200 64M.I should note that this works perfectly well on another computer I have that's running sid as well.
my cousin recently brought me an old dell to see if I could get it working.he mainly wants to use this machine to record himself playing guitar.I immediately tried installing ubuntu, but found it to be unbearably slow.the computer is on the verge of being an antique at 1ghz and 256mb of ram.so I started looking for alternatives, and decided to give debian a shot since I'm familiar with ubuntu and know that it is based on debian.I installed Debian Lenny from the netinst ISO and find it to be much quicker booting and loading programs than ubuntu.I will most likely put debian on my desktop when I'm finished getting this poor old dell set up.
I'm unable to get sound output working properly.I have checked that the volume is not muted. while using pidgin, after sending a message the "message sent" sound starts "skipping" like a scratched cd and the only way to get it to stop is to close the progam completely. I am unable to hear sound or watch videos with totem (and most likely other players, but I have not tested any yet).the files load audio files show their tag information and the length of the track and videos load the first frame but the file never actually plays. when I try to record with Sound Recorder, the application locks up.when I try to record with Audacity the software doesn't stop responding, but also doesn't record.I tried un-muting the microphone (monitor) to check that the microphone I have still works, and can hear it over the speakers, so this leads me to believe that my hardware is in good working order, but that I have something configured improperly.
