Debian :: Migration Check List - To Check - Prepare Or Reconfigure
Feb 3, 2010I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.

Debian :: Debootstrap Error On New Installation - Bzcat Is Not Available On The System Check /var/log/syslog
Jul 19, 2011I am trying to install Wheezy testing i386 using netinstall .iso disk.

Debian Multimedia :: Squeeze Compiling Dwm From Debian Source / Reality Check
Aug 18, 2011Below is the recipe I've used to compile dwm from source on Squeeze
su
apt-get install devscripts debian-keyring
apt-get build-dep dwm
exit
It all seems to work, however debuild gave an error about secret keys. Is this a sensible procedure? What happens in the (probably unlikely) event there is another source patch?I've gone to a tiling window manager as the result of the purchase of a wide screen LCD monitor. I like to have some stuff down the right hand side when running Firefox and OpenOffice in the main panes. Any configuration tricks welcome. Modern screens are the wrong shape!

Feb 25, 2011I have this deb from a package in unstable...
It calls for libhdf5-openmpi, which is not compatible with libhdf5-serial which in turn is used by several packages that i have installed...
It's either the serial or the openmpi version... not both.
Since this specific package from sid calls for this dependence, which way do i have to check that if i override dependency checking it wont overwrite anything along the way...?
All other dependencies can be met... except this particular one...
And i wont be using the functionality that calls for openmpi...
Debian :: 30 Min Boot Due Mysql Check?
Mar 18, 2010I am not sure whether I ask this question on the right forum. My debian mailserver is depending on a MySQL database. Every reboot it takes around 30 minutes to boot because of the database check. I could not find the right command or setting to boot without this check. Do you know how to do this.

Apr 21, 2010But, given that I've mixed some source and unstable packages in with my stable system, I'm now experiencing a few eccentricities (which really should make me swear off screwing around with my system, but, alas, I don't seem to learn from experience).
I digress. Anyway, in trying to play cdroms (with xplaycd and with kaffeine), it does not work. Kaffeine gives me the following feedback:
Code:
The host you're trying to connect is unknown.
Check the validity of the specified hostname. (unable to resolve)
PS, I am a member of both audio and cdrom.

Debian :: Svn Log - Check Out The Log As Well When Checking Out A Version From Some Repo?
Jun 14, 2011Is it possible to check out the log as well when you are checking out a version from some repo. For instance this is a game I like :-
[Code]...
The game is called dawn-rpg and one can find about it at dawn-rpg.sourceforge.net but that's not what I want to talk about. The thing it would be so much more convenient for me if instead of going to the svn mirror or whatever it is and checking out the log, it was local. I know I could do something like this :-
svn log > svnlog150611.txt
This would download the log file and put the contents in some text file I have named as svnlog150611.txt . The problem with this way of doing things is that each time I have to check out I would have to create a new txt file with that date. If there was a way one could check out the log as well when checking out a new version/release it would be nice. Its also possible that this might be already be there and there might be another command to use locally that I am not aware about. In that case, would look forward to people to share the same.
Debian :: How To Download Stable Version And Check MD5
May 31, 2015I want to install Debian Stable 8 Jessie. I've tried the main website, of course, first. But there are a lot of options there to download Debian 8: CD, DVD, Live etc. I downloaded debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso and I booted live in VirtualBox. It boots fine and the operating system looks in order.
Questions/problems:
1. The desktop icon for the installer says "Install Debian sid". But from what I know "sid" is unstable version. I do not want unstable, nor testing. I just want normal Stable. Did I got the wrong version? The website is a bit confusing about which version is which.
2. How do I check the md5 of the iso? I know how to do that with other distros, they usually specify it near the download link and I can execute in terminal the command 'md5sum' followed by the specific linux distro iso and then compare the numbers. But I can find no such thing for Debian. I searched the website but could not find any clear info.
3. After I install, what should I do in order to make Iceweasel work with Flash and multimedia codecs? I also need Skype and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
And if I enable these non free, do I get automatic updates for them like for the rest of standard Debian software? Or, if not, what should I do?
The idea is that I want a system that is as stable and bug free as possible, but I won't use many apps beyond these ones. I don't need the latest and greatest software as long as these get security updates. Should I be ok with this configuration?
Debian :: How To Check Graphics Driver Version

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Check If Video Card Supports KMS
Oct 3, 2015How do you check if a computer's video card will support Kernel Mode Switching BEFORE OS installation?
In this example I have an Acer Aspire AST180-UA381B.
Manufacture website says my video card is: Integrated nVidia MCP61
[URL] ....
Nouveau code list says: NV4C (MCP61) GeForce 6150LE / nForce 400/405, GeForce 6150SE Quadro NVS 210s / nForce 430
[URL] ....
I want to know:
1. How to tell if my graphics card will support KMS before I install the OS?
2. If it does not support KMS which kernel options should be passed to get it to work properly with the nouveau driver?
3. Ultimately I am looking for a tool that should be included in the installation screen that will:
a. identify your hardware: list the hardware detected on the screen
b. highlight with color code any hardware listed that is not supported or poorly supported: in this case graphics drivers
c. perform a quick benchmark test of your hardware: In this case I want the benchmark to tell me what capabilities my graphics card has.
d. automatically recommend and set the best kernel parameters for a successful boot: if the graphics card needs nomodeset or modeset=0 or whatever I want it to do it for me.
Also I started a personal blog about this issue which I intend to compose into guide to assist others with this question. [URL] ....
My goal is to create a boot disc that will automate proper installation of graphics or other hardware for a system BEFORE installation. I would like to see this feature included in the Debian installation screen.

Now, i wish to write a bash script that wil test the status of the printer. So that,if the printer is disable, it just execute the "move" script. Is there a way to know the status of a cups printer and use that information in a script?
For example, a command/function that can return "O" is the cups printer is enable and "1" if not.

Debian :: Use Aptitude To Check For An Installed Provided Package?
Jan 15, 2011I regularly compile something from a source repository that has a certain set of dependencies. Some of these dependencies are dev libraries that are provided via other libraries but are not considered installed packages in themselves, so I cannot test for some dependencies directly.
I am currently parsing an "apt-cache showpkg" output to check for some of these provided dependencies. This is somewhat kludge-y and messy, and I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Is there an APTITUDE option that will directly test for the presence of a library that is part of some other package without having to know the name of the package that the library is part of?
Server :: Stopping Automatic Disc Check In Debian?

When it does this and completes the disc check it doesn't properly establish network comms and I can't get in using SSH and I can't even ping the server.If I reboot again, it operates as normal but the problem is that the server is remote to me and I need to travel to the site when this occurs.
