Debian Installation :: Incomplete Squeeze - Many Packages Missing?
Mar 25, 2011I tried to install Squeeze on a new laptop. The installation finished and I was able to log in, but a significant number of packages were missing, including network-manager and network-manager-gnome, OpenOffice, and gdebi. Everything under the System | Administration menu except Login Screen was missing. There's probably more missing, too, but I am not sure how to tell.
It happened a few times but with slightly different results (e.g. I think on one of the earlier install attempts, Iceweasel didn't get installed, but it was included in the most recent attempt). I tried installing using 6.0.1's CD 1, and 6.0.0's hybrid Live image on a USB stick (in both cases, the GNOME version). I had used the same USB stick to install Squeeze successfully on another laptop last week (i.e. I successfully got a complete, working install; I made no changes to the USB stick; then tried to install using it on this new laptop, and saw this behavior).
I tried using both the graphical and text installers. At the step asking what packages you want installed (which allows you to auto-install sshd or mail server, for example), each time I made no changes, so the 3 selected default settings (the first option, Desktop Environment, and the last 2 options, laptop and... whatever the other one is, I don't remember) should all have been installed.
I didn't use the net installer, and I ran the installer offline because both laptops require non-free firmware and I couldn't figure out last week how to get the installer to find that firmware (on another USB stick). So once I got to the GNOME desktop the most recent time, I copied the WiFi chip's firmware .deb onto the laptop and did a 'dpkg -i', then did the same thing to get network-manager-gnome and its dependencies installed; and once I connected to our network I started an 'apt-get install gnome' to try to get the entire desktop environment installed (that also installed the programs that show up under System | Administration).
Is there anything important I might still be missing? Is there a list of installed-by-default packages that I could compare against say a 'dpkg -l'? Does this sound like some sort of known issue?
Debian :: Truecrypt For Squeeze PowerPC?
Feb 8, 2011I've tried to compile it by myself, but since I do not know all libraries / compiler programs and assistant programs to be installed beforhand, great frustration has appeared ("g++ not available" etc. ...)Is anybody here who can publish a simple and perfectly understandable tutorial of how to compile Truecrypt for PowerPC architecture from source?

Jan 28, 2011I've been trying to set up MintPPC on my girlfriend's old iBook. I started with the debian squeeze installation from a burned cd. Everything went fine and i booted into the new system.
No matter what I try to install I get that error, with different sectors each time. I can install .debs using dpkg just fine, I can compile source code. apt-get just won't work.I've been reading about this for hours, and the machine is currently running e2fsck -c on the main filesystem. It is a more or less never ending stream of those errors with a few that reference task_pio_intr rather than dma_intr thrown in for good measure.I've been reading for hours but I haven't found anything on the google or forums that matches my problem(or atleast not that I could understand).
From my research I've tried hdparm to change the DMA mode, slower and faster and no luck, removing the .bins in one of the apt folders, and reinstalling debian.I've read the posts I could find on here, and mostly the problem seemed to be intermittent for them. For me it is only when I use apt-get, and now apparently e2fsck(badblocks). It happens every single time with apt, I can't use it to install anything. But i've done plenty of other file operations without a bump.Any suggestions would be most welcome! Especially an in depth explanation of what that message means. I'm happy to do my own research and work, I just have no idea what's going on!

Mar 5, 2011I have so far used reiserfs formatting both in my previous debian (sarge, etch and lenny) and opensuse (SLED10, opensuse-10.2,10.3 &11.3) and was very happy. When last month I installed debian squeeze I missed reiserfs (or did I miss noticing it?) Though Ext3 is giving me no trouble. I would love to have reiserfs. Is it now possible to change the filesystems without much trouble.

Debian Installation :: Installing Debian On IBook G4 / PowerPC
Jul 17, 2010I 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. So please help me if you would as to how I can (1) boot Debian minimal CD and (2) install Debian on one of the two volumes I have on my iBook.

View 14 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: No Sound In Squeeze After Upgrading Packages?
Feb 24, 2011I had a broken URL in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, apparently because the debian-multimedia.org site had some kind of server issue and they had to rebuild the site from the ground up. They must have changed their directory structure, because I began getting 404 Errors when upgrading packages. I eventually fixed the URL last week after it had been broken for three months, then I upgraded and rebooted. After that, sound stopped working, even system sounds. My speakers work, because I plugged them into another machine and they worked. I eventually discovered that the master volume was set to "mute", and so was the master volume in the alsamixer. However, even after changing it to 100% for both, sound still doesn't work. I even made sure to issue a "alsactl -store" command toeep the settings there after a reboot. I removed and reinstalled all the alsa and pulse audio packages, made sure that the emu10k1 driver was installed for my Soundblaster Audigy card, and made sure everything was unmuted. I have also tried a million other things that I've found on Google, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Missing CD / DVD Device In Squeeze
Apr 3, 2010I've been testing Squeeze to determine whether KDE4 is finally suitable for my primary machine. Everything seems to be working fine except for detection of IDE devices. My CD/DVD drive no longer automounts and the reason seems to be that no device is being created. My Lenny system detects the drive as /dev/hda, but no such device exists in Squeeze. During boot, Squeeze appears to detect the drive as /dev/sr0 (according to dmesg), but in fact that device does not exist either.I'm actually running the Lenny kernel, as I am unable to compile my Ralink wireless driver (rt2860sta) using the Squeeze kernel. Also, for inquiring minds, I use removable HDD drive bays on my systems to simplify testing.

Mar 1, 2011I try to setup OpenLDAP on Debian Squeeze.But it seems the documentation I found is differed than the installation.
Normally I would expect /etc/ldap/slapd.conf as also mentioned at url.However this file does not exists and I got the feeling Debian changes a lot with the default (bit poor if you asked me).Seems they created a LDAP database and put the config in there, correct me if I am wrong?A folder /etc/ldap/slapd.d is created with some config inside. And also a /etc/ldap/ldap.conf does exist.
Is there any documentation on this, and what if I would like to have a flat config in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf?

Debian :: Net Install Missing DPKG To Load The Necessary Packages?
Dec 21, 2010I'm attempting to install Debian (Stable) from a business net install disc. The problem? I can't load/install the packages I need to connect to my USB 3G modem. When I load up a shell (tty2?), I'm brought to an 'ash' prompt, and there's no DPKG for me to load the necessary packages.
how I can do a total net install, including the base, from an USB 3G modem? Actually, I'm very surprised that current Linux distros don't seem to include support, for this growing market share type of internet connection.
Debian :: Missing Packages - No Wireless Internet Tools
Feb 16, 2011I downloaded and installed Debian Squeeze from a CD (a 700~mb file), but I seem to be missing a lot of things; mainly any wireless internet tools!

View 6 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: DRI 3 Doesn't Work With IGP - Missing Packages?
Nov 20, 2015So, as per Arch Linux's wiki, I tried to make some optimisations to the intel driver through setting it up in Xorg.conf (or as advised by that wiki article, in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf' ), but I've ran into trouble enabling DRI3. Here's my current config file:
Code: Select allSection "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver   "intel"
  Option   "AccelMethod" "SNA"
  Option   "DRI"  "3"
  Option   "TearFree"  "true"
EndSection
So far everything works fine, I haven't seen any noticeable tearing, nor did I had any problems with any graphics-intensive programs I run, but there's a slight problem with the DRI3 part as indicated by Xorg's logs:
Code: Select all[Â Â 26.556] (II) Loading sub module "dri2"
[Â Â 26.556] (II) LoadModule: "dri2"
[Â Â 26.556] (II) Module "dri2" already built-in
[Â Â 26.556] (==) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[Â Â 26.616] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Haswell (gen7.5, gt2) backend
[Â Â 26.616] (==) intel(0): Backing store enabled
[Code] ....
First of all it still mentions the DRI2 driver, is this supposed to happen, or did something go wrong? Also it complains that it cannot find a file, which I can't figure out which package it belongs to, and taking a quick search around the interwebs hasn't produced anything useful...
The IGP is the CPU, which is actually a i5-4460... which according to Wikipedia it has a HD Graphics 4600 GPU.

May 31, 2015I am new using linux and don't have too much experience in terminal, however I am curious and work hard. I have an imac G5 powerpc with 2g processor, 768 mb ram and 232.7g hard disk. I recentrly installed debian 8.0.0 (jessie) with xfce environement. I have three other computers (two with xununtu runing and one with windows) using dropbox to sync all my work in differents places, so I use dropbox to get all synchronized. I don't want to change all the pc's to other cloud service, I would like to install dropbox in this machine.
I installed libnet-dropbox-api-perl, pear-channels and pho-dropbox packages from the synptic package manager with the hope to use dropbox...but I dind't even find something colled dropbox in the pc.
My question is: is it possible to install and use dropbox in this powerpc machine ? if yes, is there a tuto (for dumps) to get it ?
