Debian Installation :: Install Script Can't Find Adduser
Jul 29, 2014
Just upgraded to wheezy from squeeze, and trying to resolve a few problems that appeared.
I get an error when installing pulseaudio (and a few other packages). Looks like the install script can't find 'adduser':
Code: Select allSetting up pulseaudio (2.0-6.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: 22: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: adduser: not found
dpkg: error processing pulseaudio (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
If I 'sudo su -' then 'adduser' is on the path, so why can the install script not find it?

I just recently downloaded debian 8.2 live cd 64bit amd and wrote it to a usb stick with the universal usb installer from [URL] ..... The installer stops at the point of grabbing information from CD (right after choosing location) and since I have no dvd drive installed it spits an error out at me.
Now it seems to load the files right with the install icon from within the live mode but it gets cut off so I can't see about 1/3 the screens info. 4k monitor problems?
A bit of info, Installing on a Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard with ddr4, i7 6700k, win10 installed.
I'm rather new to UEFI bios options coming from a 2009/2010 x58 board, so I have a bit more reading to do.
Where to get working debian file that allows installation from the main initial boot menu.

I try to install Debian 8 on my desktop PC that has a wireless network card.I had already used this computer with debian 7 and I could use my problem-free network connection.
My network card is : Asus PCE-N10
During the installation, a message occured to ask me to load a firmware (rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin) which is loaded from a USB key.After this, Debian-installer seems to find my wireless card but can not find wireless network.I have this message, translated from French: "The search for an available wireless network failed" and I can enter an ESSID but inconclusive.

I have made a Debian minimal installer on a USB drive according to this manual: [URL] I have installed a minimal version of Debian, meaning text-only, with only the kernel, shell, filesystem, and a few programs. Now I need to install the rest of it over the internet. So here are my questions:
1. Where can I find the additional files to install?
2. Where can I find a manual that tells you how to install them? This manual doesn't say anything about that.
3. Are you supposed to install the files during the installation process, or do you get them online through the minimal Debian (using wget, etc.)?

I installed Debian Jessie (netinst, daily snapshot) on my Acer Aspire V5-123 laptop in the UEFI mode with the secure boot turned off. everything (network, hardware, partitioning, ...) went smoothly to the last step, but after removing the boot media (USB stick) and rebooting, the firmware could not find the boot device ! The only thing I can think of, is that the EFI boot is not set up properly by Debian installer, but I don't know how to fix it.

I am trying to install Debian Lenny via Hyper-V. I get to the point where it asks for the network card. For some reason it can not find my network card. I have a RealTek (RTL8112L PCIe Gigabit LAN controller featuring AI NET 2 built on motherboard).
For some reason it doesn't see it. My issue is if I continue without the network how am I getting the drivers? Unfortunately Hyper-V doesn't support USB. I guess I can try to burn to CD but not looking to waste a cd for 480k and not sure that will work as I only see a auto.sh and a couple other files under scr directory. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. This is a fairly new Motherboard/NIC so I do not understand why it isn't recognized. I know it cant have everything but Realtek is a fairly common nic.

i know some UNIX commands and some centos/linux commands anyway i need help setting up my centos VPS. I recieved the server the today and i wax given a SSH login which i quickly figured out how to use however for many actions including opening SFTP i need to have a non root useraccount form which i have none, so i preceeded to create a new account(adduser username, passwd username) however now if i try to log into SSH, SFTP with the new account i get a message Access is Denied. I need some help and the company hosting the server seems to be pretty useless for actual support, i think they assume VPS owners to have a reasonable amount of linux knowledge.

I am attempting to add a user via the adduser command. However, I get an error/warning message after entering the following: (note I am following a HOWTO, and this is the line it says to enter).
Code:
adduser renderNode
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX or NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM.
I don't quite understand how to check/configure locale settings or variables,

Proftpd is installed and running fine on 8.04 server. I want to streamline the process of adding users. Adding a ftp user with USERADD fails (user is created but connection fails when trying to connect with ftp client).
Code:
useradd -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
But, ADDUSER works:
Code:
adduser myuser
usermod -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
It's a bother because I want to automate the process, and ADDUSER has all those prompts and asks for the password twice.

/usr/bin: No such file or directory and I cannot run any adduser commands from root of my new install of Slackware 13.1. This is my first time every installing a Linux distro and I am confused as to why I cannot do anything from the root command that I have been reading in Linux forums?

I am a bit fuzzy about the usage of adduser script directives in the smb.conf. I pressume they give you the ability to add users directly from windows machines... or not? And how can I use them?

I have installed Debian maybe 30 times over the years since about 2003, stable, testing and Sid on two different desktops and two different laptops. The only problem I have ever had is sometimes with a flaky daily build. It is one of my favorite distros.
BUT, I am totally frustrated is trying to install to a USB. I have followed the manual step by step about 6 times in the past two weeks. The result is always the same. The installation fails to find an installation iso image. Yes, I know the iso image and the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz files are supposed to be the same version.
File: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from: [url]
Files: vmlinuz and initrd.gz from: [url]
The USB boots to a Language selection screen and proceeds through the Keyboard selection screen with no problems.
The next step which searches for an installation iso image fails.
Skipping that step and trying to load installer components from iso image also fails.
Searching the entire PC for an installation iso image also fails. (I even copied the netinst iso image to the HD root directory.)

I've tried installing dig on Debian, but the apt-get utility doesn't seem to know what it is. Is it part of some larger set of packages? Where can I find this?

I have it installed and running nicely so I am following sqlpython's "How To: Full multimedia in Squeeze" to get my various players playing. sqlpython seems to have been running a KDE environment while I am running Gnome, but that should not make a critical difference.
If I do (as root) apt-get install libdvdcss apt does not find it. Same result for libdvdcss2.
BTW, which of these would be more appropriate for my 64-bit squeeze?
etc/apt/sources.list shows:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Squeeze_ - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20100217-22:04]/ squeeze main

I am trying to boot Debian Live, using Grub, from a folder on my hard drive which is basically the contents of the iso.
Here is my menu.lst:
However, on boot, after a while, it says boot failed. The error message it gives is: "Unable to find device with live filesystem" or something similar.

I'm using Debian since about two years now and I'm happy with it. Yesterday I used Synaptic to install the Typo3 4.2 meta package from the main sources.I wasn't sure if it would be a better idea to use the newer version 4.4, but thought it would be the least tricky thing to stick with the officially supported versions for Debian Lenny. So I picked up a book for this older version of Typo3 from the library and wanted to start learning the CMS.
The problem I encountered was the fact, that the installation didn't produce any folder on "/var/www/" from which I could start. As well I couldn't find any man, help or info entriesNothing so far on the internet as well. (Some months ago, when I installed Drupal the same way, I didn't had any such problems.)Do I need to do something else in order to get access from the localhost?Does the Debian Typo3 setup use a different folder somewhere else

I'm installing xfce4-volumed-pulse 0.2.0-4. [URL] .....
Getting the error:
Code: Select allThe required package keybinder was not found on your system.
*** Please install keybinder (atleast version 0.2.2) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.
I have installed everything available in the jessie repo with "keybinder" in the name. It seems like my path variable is configured correctly:
Code: Select allpkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config gives me:
Code: Select all/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
and (leaving out doc files and such) locate libkeybinder gives me
Code: Select all/usr/lib/libkeybinder.so.0
/usr/lib/libkeybinder.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0.0.0
So I can't figure out how to get keybinder recognized.

I'v just brought a notebook computer with a CPU i7 2630QM. I install debian 6.0.2.1 via CD driver, but it failed to success. The probles are three, (1).it reported "cannot find ethernet card" ; (2). It reported "cannot install continue" after the diskpartion step have been successed; (3). It said "netinstall may be a choice", so I say "Yes" and It really downloading something (543 files) and successed . After reboot, I loggin and cannot link to the internet. There is no such files ralated to netware config and I'm not able to config that, for I'm always only a bar finder in an meau.(shy a little,but this is ture). I do it 4 times and the situation and results are the same that I got a smallest netinstalled debian system on my computer and I cannot play music, cannot link to internet. I wonder: How could I install a real debian on my computer? Need I download anther version of iso file or do something that I do not know to makes it works. I can burn an iso image to a real CD by my old computer. I can also install OS such as mint via USB flash drive. In the computer Highly-Orangized world (already-wisdomed world), I have a body already but I've never been installed a sprit or a soul. So I really need to learn from you, from the great debian bbs, learn something of vital importance to take me into wise and freedom.

I recently installed Debian 7.6 64-bit on Dell Vostro 1520 laptop.Using Gparted, create extended partition in the remaining disk space 67.91 GB
Install Debian 7.6 as follows
Code: Select all/dev/sdb5 / 8GB Ext4
/dev/sdb6 / home 17GB Ext4
/dev/sdb7 swap 5GB
I opened a terminal and ran some commands to show the results below....
Code: Select allroot@DELL-DEBIAN:/home/hugh# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda7 partition 4979708 0 -1
root@DELL-DEBIAN:/home/hugh#
Code: Select allroot@DELL-DEBIAN:/home/hugh# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
[code]...
I have a couple of questions....
1. Does the data above indicate everything is running as it should?
2. What does this command tell me about swap? "/sbin/swapoff /dev/sda7" I read somewhere it should be run on 64-bit system but not sure what it does.
3. Is the command "cat /proc/swaps" the best way to determine if swap is running ok?
4. Can I share this swap partition with another distro, e.g. Ubuntu or Xubuntu? as I would like to multi-boot for testing purposes.

I've installed a Squeeze-based distro - Crunchbang - with an encrypted root partition (no LVM), and it won't boot.
Here's what I get: Loading initial ramdisk. Loading, Gave up waiting for root device ALERT! /dev/mapper/hda5_crypt does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Here's my partition table:
hda1 - Windows (Truecrypted)
hda2 - GRUB2
hda5 - /
hda6 - unused swap
[Code]...
What should I look for? Where do I go from the initramfs shell? Do I chroot? What then? This might be a Crunchbang issue (although others blame LVM which I didn't use, and it's the original Debian installer after all), but there's gotta be a reason it doesn't boot
