I tried to install lshw to be able to list me hardware. lshw is not in synaptic. I found this page [URL] .... and from there went to [URL] .... where I read:
You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian wheezy main
Replacing ftp.de.debian.org/debian with the mirror in question.
How to filter, output just cpu info using lshw?

This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on a Compaq 6715b laptop.Everything is working OK except the fingerprint reader. So to look for the device I did this:
Code:
sudo lshw
but was a bit alarmed when I saw this:

What is the cause of the strange characters?
I used this option( int resize=16384; setsockopt((fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &resize, sizeof(int)) ) to try to change my rcv socket buffer size. The option succeeded but the buffer size stayed at 4096. Can I actually change the buffer size with this option or is it hard coded into the kernel

I just bought a laptop with a T4400. Looking through lshw output turned up the following for the L2 cache:
Code:
*-cache:1
description: L2 cache
physical id: 6
slot: L2 Cache
size: 1MiB
capacity: 4MiB
capabilities: burst internal write-back unified
I'm curious as to why the size (1Mib) and capacity (4MiB) are different. Surely it can't be possible to stick something on the CPU to increase the L2 cache size, right?? So what does this mean?
I'm running 64-bit Linux Mint (derivative of Ubuntu). The kernel config says CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES=64 but I found nothing about the L2 cache.
Can I somehow unlock more cache to get a 4MiB L2 cache for free?
After a bit of searching, I haven't found a discussion on how to mount an external device using hardware attributes, though I am almost certain I have seen discussions on this in the past. The objective is to consistently mount an external USB drive at the same mount point regardless of the order in which a user attaches other external USB drives. For instance, if I run lshw, I can find harware properties of the device:
Code:
*-usb:1
description: Mass storage device
...
physical id: 6
[code]...
I'd like to identify this device by the serial number and mount to a pre-defined mount point (e.g. /mnt/extUSB). I can write a script involving lshw,dmesg, and mount but I vaguely recall a more clean/ preferred method.

I was using my usb Alfa AWUS036H-v5 usb wifi card, and then after I rebooted, it randomly stopped working.. did some searching on the site, one idea was to do
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
which I did, and it shows my internal wifi card (iwl3945) working fine, but says my wlan7 (Alfa usb) as:

Also, in the upper right hand corner, the antenna is greyed out and says "Device Not Ready"

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded Debian/PowerPC_lenny from http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst. The netinst CD or the minimal CD for some reason doesn't boot. When I put it in the CD-ROM it doesn't begin whatever it has to do. Do I need to do anything? I restart my iBook G4 (1.33 GHz PowerPC G4) several times and held the "c" button (for CD-ROM) but nothing has happened. I wonder if someone can help me begin the installation process.
FYI, I have partitioned my hard drive into two volumes. I would like to install Debian in one of them. I *do not* want my Mac OS X to get disappeared in the Debian installation process.

I tried to build a bootable USB stick using Code: Select alldd if=~/Desktop/linux/debian-8.0.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m as mentioned here: URL... but this does not work on my MacBook 3.1, late 2007 model (yes, I am using rEFIt and my CD drive is dead). The error message upon trying to boot from the USB stick using rEFIt says something like 'unable to load bootia32.efi'.
The workaround: I took the "bootX64.efi" from here:URL... on the USB drive and renamed it as "boot.efi".I copied the "debian-8.0.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso" to "/efi/boot" on the USB drive and renamed it as "boot.iso".So now my USB stick has 2 files only: "/efi/boot/boot.efi" and "/efi/boot/boot.iso" and nothing else.Now I was able to boot from the USB stick get into a GRUB prompt.
Code: Select allloopback loop (hd0,1)/efi/boot/boot.iso
grubconfig (loop)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
The installer starts fine and I choose my locale, keyboard etc. until it starts to scan for the CD drive and I face...The error message says that a CD was not found (as expected).I fired up the shell offered by the installer and mounted the USB stick to "/mnt/usb" like this:
Code: Select allmount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/usb
It works and I can see my ISO file in "/mnt/usb/efi/boot/boot.iso".I tried to mount the ISO image to "/dev/cdrom":
Code: Select allmount -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/usb/efi/boot/boot.iso /dev/cdrom
waited for a while and killed (control + c) the process and found that my "/dev" folder has been flooded with files named like the string "loop" followed by some digits (loop1245, loop8766 etc.).Can the Debian installer be somehow tricked into believing that the ISO file on the USB stick is the mounted CD?
I have a 300GB RAID0 setup that already has Windows 7 on it. I shrunk the RAID0 disk within Windows disk management to make room for a Debian install.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm researching how I want to go about making my own LXDE install without using any of the options from tasksel. I have a few questions about metapackages.
First: Will the apt-get flags "--install-suggests" and "--no-install-recommends" affect what is installed from metapackage dependencies?
For example, if I install the lxde package, it also installs lxde-core. If I do:
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install lxde --no-install-recommends will recommended packages from lxde-core also be excluded?
Second: Is there a way to automatically install the alternative "or" packages listed?
For example, [URL] lists several alternatives to the defaults: audacious instead of lxmusic, transmission instead of deluge, etc.
I'm trying to install Debian 8.2 on my laptop. The "GNU/Linux UEFI Install" screen is fine, but whatever option I choose the screen got stripe like this [URL] .....
I can still use my keyboard, but the screen is unreadable. I was trying install with DVD/Netinst ISO with USBWriter, but it still same. My laptop use ATI 8750M Graphic Card.
I had a dual boot with windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04, and I just decided to move from Ubuntu to Debian, but I didn't unistall Ubuntu. I just deleted it's partitions (/, /home, swap) and used the new allocatable space. When I was doing the partitions I noticed that the installer didn't allow me to choose between logical and primary partitions (not sure if this is important).
When I continued with the installation process, in the GRUB section the installer detected two Windows Vista options and later I selected /dev/sda as the disk for the GRUB (MBR). When I tried to boot, a GRUB command line screen from ubuntu appeared, when I wrote exit a message appeared "Boot succesfull" and then it sent me to the Boot selection from my laptop.
From there I can choose to boot Windows 10 normally or select a disk partition that sends me to the Debian GRUB from where I can boot Debian normally, but the Windows entries that appear (Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 recovery mode) fail to boot. So when I boot the Debian GRUB appears.
When installing squeeze from either a dvd or cd (i've burned loads to see if it was the problem) my computer goes through the installation, until the dreaded step of "selecting and installing software" where the installation stops, and my computer turns itself off because of a kill signal sent to everything. I've tried booting with fb=false, and for some reason acpi=off, and neither of them solved the problem (acpi=off caused my laptop to turn off unexpectedly earlier) (HP 6735s, AMD64 using Turion X2, 4GB Ram)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is a Debian question or a VirtualBox question, so I'm posing here and will likely pose it on the VBox forums as well.When I install Debian into a new VirtualBox VM, it always installs Ext3 as the file system. I've tried the Advanced installer, but there does not seem to be a way to specify Ext4 as the file system.My questions are:- Is Ext3 the default for Debian 6?- Can I specify Ext4 as the file system at install? Should I even care? I know Ext4 is faster, but would that performance boost be meaningful for a laptop/cloud user?I know I can convert from an Ext3 to Ext4, but that's clearly a lot more work than just installing it during initial setup.VirtualBox does support Ext4, as I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 with Ext4 and it boots and operates fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to partition a hard drive with Debian already installed and put a live disc image in the second one and use grub to boot it. Then using this boot to the installer and install to the first partition.The answer for why I want to try this is that I have a computer that runs a robot that needs Debian. There is no CD, USB, or internet currently on the drive. there is an Ethernet plug, but It won't work until the OS is in place. We tried taking the hard drive and installing Debian to it from a USB stick on another computer, but it has the wrong Ethernet drivers and we can't get it to talk to the internet on the robot's computer.
Everything else is fine, but with out an internet connection the robot will not work.If your interested the board is an old Versalogic VSBC-8 and the robot is a Pioneer 1 from Mobile robotics. The hard drive (not that it matters) is a standard 80GB IDE notebook drive from Western Digital.

VirtualBox 4.3.14
Windows 7
Debian 7.6
I'm trying to create a new VM with Debian 7.6. I downloaded the 3 install iso discs and tried to install. When I begin the installation it seems to take control of the CDROM and I am no longer able to eject it by either pressing the eject button or trying to eject through Windows. The installation goes fine until it asks if I have any other discs to install (which I do ... I have 2 more). At this point I say "Yes" but I cannot get the CDROM to open up at all since it doesn't automatically eject for another disc and as I mentioned before ... I can't do it manually or in Windows.
- I cannot do an installation over the internet because this is a government computer which is requires to be hooked to a government network. There are certain certificates required to access the network which are not available to my newly made (or in the process of making) Linux system but rather only to my host Windows system.
- I cannot use a newer version of VirtualBox because that opens up a whole new set of issues dealing with WinVerifyTrust getting CERT_E_REVOCATION_FAILURE most likely due to our symantec security software.
So my Storage Settings in VirtualBox are as follows for my CDROM drive:
- Controller: IDE Controller
- Type: PIIX4
- "Use Host I/O Cache" is checked
- Host Drive D:
- CD/DVD Drive: IDE Secondary Master
- "Passthrough" is checked
I cannot install the Debian 7.6 OS because I cannot eject each disc and put in the next disc. The only way I can eject the disc is if I reboot my entire system (host windows system) which obviously leaves me at an unfinished point in my install and therefore I have to restart the install and end up right where I was 30 minutes earlier.
I have a USB which I want to use for a 'live' debian OS. I have debian 7.7 on hard disk and will be using Unetbootin to transfer the .iso file onto the USB.
However, when I go the debian archive there are so many iso files for the particular debian pkg [URL] .... There's iso, iso.contents, iso.log, iso.packages and iso.zsync. Do I download all of these iso files?
I'll be doing a Code: Select allsha256sums <iso-filename> to make sure the downloads aren't corrupted. But when I use Unetbootin and get it to write the main .iso file onto USB, do I then repeat this process with all the other iso files for the OS?
