View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed p7zip with GUI from slackbuilds, but there is a problem, since i can't get it to work with XFCE4. After looking into package, i noticed that .desktop files are installed into:
Code:
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
there are total of 6 .desktop items:
Code:
ls -l /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 952 2010-01-16 15:12 p7zip_compress.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 949 2010-01-16 15:12 p7zip_compress2.desktop
[code]....
and if i look inside of one of these files, the syntax is quite KDE specific and are probably supposed to be seen in a menu when you right click on file. So the big question is: is it possible to make XFCE4/Thunar do something similar? So far i have tried to view p7zip_extract_to.desktop file in a text editor and i learned, that the command for this looks like this:
Code:
p7zipForFilemanager xd %U
And if I right click on archive and then select "Open With Another Application" and then input this command, then double click on archive, i get this nice pop up:
7zip.png
Which is fine for extracting, but when it comes to creating archives, it's a bit inconvenient to do this every time i need something archived. I would would really like to have 7zip menu when i right click on file, so i welcome ideas on this matter.
I would like to know what to do in order to lower RAM usage after closing applications.
When the computer boots and user session is started RAM usage is 540MB. After browsing the web with Iceweasel, and developing in Eclipse and different applications like Umbrello (which I think that requires core KDE), when I close all the applications, the usage is like 1GB.
I have tried to logout and then login, but the usage is the same. If I restart, RAM will be at its lowest (550MB), but I would not like to restart every time I want to clean the memory.
Got problems with apt. So I discovered if I remove some stuff from root partition apt works normally again.
So I tested to copy 1GB file to root, but in the middle says disk is full, but there should be 1.8GB free if I type df -h.
Code:
Select alldf -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 4.0G 2.2G 1.8G 56% /

/dev/md0 4.0G 2.2G 1.8G 56% /
tmpfs 492M 0 492M 0% /dev/shm

How do I do this?... I'm sick of running into this... permission denied :

I have downloaded d4x download manager program but I do not know its dpendencies. I tried to install the single deb file with "Gdebi Package installer" but it showed an error of dependency. I downloaded that file too which itself could not be installed due to the same problem. The method of one by one file downloading was exhausting. Is there any program that accepts "d4x_2.5.7.1-5_amd64.deb" as input and givres me a full list of dependencies that must be saitisfied proior to installing the program with a single click? I want to give that list to a download manager.

Won't accept /dev/sdb or whatever device the USB stick is.
Using live-magic with the option to include the installer.The installer works until the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step where it wants to mount a CD drive, as above. This confuses me, since why would live-magic include this capability if it didn't work for a USB stick?

I recently installed Lenny and used the "Guided - Use Entire Disk" option.I made separate partitions for root, /etc, /var, /home, /usr and swap.I trusted that the auto partitioner would choose sensible sizes but possibly that was a bad move, root is only 340Mb and is full.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUpon booting, the existing grub menu shows the Debian OS, but I also have Ubuntu installed on the same hard disk. It does not show in the menu. Previously I had Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. In Ubuntu config file (menu.lst) I wanted to delete Mint and an old Ubuntu. I did so. In doing this I must have removed the 'full' menu.lst,leaving only Debian. So now I cannot boot into the new Ubuntu. I presently have only two OS on the hard disk: Debian and Ubuntu. I cant see Ubuntu, How do I correct this problem?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI come from a PCLinuxOS tradition (about two years), and a great full backup program was mklivecd, where I would use a GUI to make a bootable livecd/dvd with all my system which was handy in case something went wrong. Every week or so I would create a DVD ready for emergencies. After looking at the options in Debian (using Squeeze, and very happy with it for a few months now), I'm wondering if there is something similar. Remastersys, it seems, doesn't work with GRUB2 (only with GRUB-legacy), and Partimage makes images, not bootable CDs/DVDs. What is your full-backup/bootable system strategy, something, if possible, as easy/straightforward as mklivecd?

My problem is all of a sudden get a message on deleting files that the trashcan has reached its full capacity and needs to be emptied manually. After emptying the trashcan in Dolphin I still can't delete the files I want and get the same message again and again. I have shut down the computer before, but today that didn't seem to help at all. Also it seems a bit drastic to shut down the machine everytime this happens. Is there perhaps another 'manual' way of emptying the trashcan? I have found a post recommending to rm -in my case- the directory in question in the terminal, which worked, but it doesn't solve the trashcan problem.
I'm using the default GNOME file manager. But as a user I don't have any privileges to move files to/from the user folders to the system. I elevated my user to admin privileges, but this has no effect; I can't do any file management in the system area.
I can use the 'root terminal', but it would be much easier to use a GUI file manager--even drag 'n drop.How do I get the file manager to open up? I guessed one way to do this is to log in as 'Root' instead of user. But login won't allow an 'other' login when I try to use 'root' as a username. Is this the wrong approach? Dave

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed debian 6.0 and have a problem with mplayer running in fullscreen/maximised window. Basically whenever I want to play a film in full screen or maximised window the view/film area remains a small rectangle and there's a big black area around that makes up the full screen.I'm running a nouveau driver and the video settings in mplayer are set to xv ( I also tried gl).
That's what happen when I run mplayer from the command line (eg. mplayer film.avi), which is my preferred method. When I want to play a film by opening it from a file browser, it starts mplayer but there's no video at all, just the sound.
If this has been covered before I couldn't find it.

Killing the job produced damage detailed below. How best to proceed?
details:
I'm upgrading a 7-year-old 64-bit Clevo/System76 laptop to jessie. My first run of `sudo aptitude full-upgrade` ended after fetching packages, with the following lines ending the console spew:
Code: Select allGet: 2051 http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie/main user-setup all 1.61 [196 kB]

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package python:amd64 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove python:amd64 (2)
So I started a second run with `sudo aptitude -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=true full-upgrade`. I left it running overnight, checking back periodically to OK overwriting `/etc/*` files with package-maintainer's versions. Friday I checked the box ~0900 and found
Only GUI application running was `gnome-terminal`, with the upgrade running in a single tab. This was working as intended, since I closed all other apps, and all but one `gnome-terminal` tab, before starting the upgrade. desktop environment (DE)=Cinnamon (also as intended) mouse was non-responsive: swiping the touchpad produced no movement keyboard appeared non-responsive (but more on that below) internal fan was running apparently full-speed (certainly as loud as I've ever heard it) console spew ended with the following 3 lines:
Code: Select allSetting up fancontrol (1:3.3.5-2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/fancontrol ...
[ ok ] Stopping fan speed regulator: fancontrol.
I left it running in hope the upgrade would recover, but after 7 hours nothing had changed, so I attempted to kill the job. The following all failed:
invoking shutdown via desktop menu (neither mouse movement nor pressing Super key produced any change) C-c/Ctrl-c in the terminal tab (nothing changed in the GUI) A-F2/Alt-F2 (trying to run another `gnome-terminal` to run `sudo shutdown -Ph now`, but no dialog appeared) C-A-F1 (to goto tty1 and run `sudo shutdown -Ph now`, but again no change in GUI/X)
The good news is, the box did reboot after `A-SysRq-[REISUB]`, though only to tty1. From there, `sudo dpkg --audit` produces these results.
So obviously the upgrade is incomplete; how best to resume it, or to debug the current situation before resuming? I'd prefer to fix the problem with `fancontrol` before proceeding, since the previous `full-upgrade` was quite long-running.
FWIW I also recorded the packages that the previous/broken `aptitude full-upgrade` wanted to {add, remove, upgrade}, and note that package=`fancontrol` is one that `aptitude` wanted to upgrade. So I'd like to know if I should just

I would like to configure my Debian Jessie system in this way.
Two partitions:
1) /boot on /dev/sda1
2) everything else on /dev/sda2
I want to encrypt the second partition with LUKS. And then install over it a LVM volume. Inside the LVM volume i will create the / (root), /var, /opt and /home virtual partitions. In this way, i'll get asked only once for the password to decrypt all partitions. Because if i don't use LVM, then i'll get asked for the password for each encrypted partition.
I can follow and understand almost everything of this HOW-TO for Archlinux: [URL] ....
Only two passages are unclear to me:
1) Configuring mkinitcpio
I don't understand what i should do here in order to complete this. What should i do in Debian to configure "mkinitcpio"? what is the equivalent thing to do here?
I thought that the kernel would automatically recompile itself with all installed modules on the Debian system, once cryptosetup/LUKS or LVM2 get installed.
2) Configuring the boot loader
I don't understand what should i write in /etc/default/grub. Will GRUB automatically load the LUKS and LVM2 modules? Also, I don't think that i could boot the system in this way:
cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:LVM root=/dev/mapper/LVM-????
Actually the "root=" volume is the whole volume to mount as LVM. It isn't the final root partition.
I would like to create a full systembackup to a ISO/IMG-file. I've been searching and found mondorescue.org, but something is wrong with package for debian 6.

Is the code for debian linux fully available for people to inspect for flaws or backdoors? Apparently although part of the encryption code is available for OS X the full code for Filevault 2 is not public. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method of encryption for each operating system?
View 8 Replies View RelatedEarlier today I installed Debian Squeeze with Gnome off the 64-bit CD 1. I didn't have my ethernet connected and ended up only getting a pretty minimal desktop with not much installed besides Gnome. This bothered me, as I thought I could install the whole desktop off the CD. I reinstalled, this time with my Ethernet connected. This time it took much more time and gave me what I wanted, a complete desktop. Simply put, what do I need to install everything that I currently have without having my Ethernet plugged in?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a mail server on debian. Once it's done, I'd like to have an indentical server on another machine, where debian will also be installed. The solution has to be hardware agnostic, so source machine is different than destination machine. I was reading on some wiki page that one can simply copy the root filesystem via rsync to the computer that he'd like to install the system on, then chroot to it and test if everything works. I'm guessing I'd have to change a couple things before, like :
- The network config
- The /etc/fstab file (disks and partitions may be different)
This article is about using rsync to transfer a copy of your "/" tree, excluding a few select folders. This approach is considered to be better than disk cloning with dd since it allows for a different size, partition table and filesystem to be used, and better than copying with cp -a as well, because it allows greater control over file permissions, attributes, Access Control Lists (ACLs) and extended attributes.
