I have just installed Debian and the installation went smooth (net installation). The last prompt was to specify if you want to be able to boot 3 different OS's using grub. I answered yes (I have Win7, Ubuntu and now wanted to install Debian for testing purposes). Is there any way I could manually add entry to grub for booting Debian, for instance from Ubuntu adding to menu.lst?

I am attempting to install Debian via the netinstall as a VMWare workstation Guest. I cannot get the Network portion to work. I am using NAT and assigning a static IP address. This works on all my Windows Virtual Machines and I have gotten it to work to Install Fedora as well as CentOS. Here is the information from other installs.
IP: 192.168.28.XX
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.28.2
Nameserver: 192.168.28.2
If I use this information during installation of Debian it does not work. It always gives an error that it cannot connect to the download repositories. I am wanting to setup a machine to use in product for Git/SVN & Redmine and want to evaluate Debian vs CentOS vs Fedora for this purpose.

I tried to get vmware player 7.6 to work after upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie. I downloaded kernal headers 3.16.0-4-amd 64 as the dialog box said to do. After doing that and attempting to install I got this message “C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.” At this point I wondered if it would be better to try a more recent version of Vmware player. So I downloaded Vmware Player 12.01. I could not get it to open.

Trying to install an XP Pro virtual machine as a guest in VMware Workstation 7.1.2, fails with the error: "Could not open /dev/vmmon. No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded".Host OS is Debian-Lenny. Was able to specify the new virtual machine configuration, but VMware failed to create the new image (because of the error specified in previous paragraph).
Is the problem that Debian is not loading/executing a needed process? Should I be directing this problem to either Debian or VMware? I searched the VMware documentation, and it mentioned something about chkconfig (Redhat), or the rcconf/ksysv utilities to change SUSE configuration levels. I am unfamiliar with the syntax, don't know why this is necessary.

I use Debian 5.0.6 32-bit through VMware workstation installed on my Windows Server 2003. I just simply installed it from CD-1 and I use Directadmin on that.
I need a lot of iptables commands for blocking but I keep getting missing module errors on that one, I did lsmod | grep -i iptables to see there are no modules. It should have been installed by the disc image but I don't know why it didn't. So I now want to know how to get those modules required by iptables.

Under KDE (3.5) in Lenny, whenever I "safely remove" a SD card, I get the following message
"The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected"
The message is obviously ridiculous, and the crashing windows error sound that accompanies it very annoying.

I was able to boot from my USB to begin Debian installation screen which after loading kernel gave ncurses based screen asking me to give the location of ISO I formatted the USB to two partitions
/dev/sdb1 (bootable) 1GB
and /dev/sdb2 6GB
after rebooting the debian installation process does begin. But I do not want to use the 20MB business card ISO Instead I have the 4.2 GB ISO on other partition on USB how can I make it take read that image so that installation begins from the 4.2GB ISO on other partition. Do I need to edit in syslinux.cfg some thing or how can I bring the grub command prompt so that I give it the path to kernel and initrd or syslinux can not take ISO from other partition.

I didn't do enough research beforehand and just discovered that while gcc 4.1 is still packaged, g++ 4.1 is not. I am working on a project with unsupported libraries (don't ask) and can only build successfully with g++ 4.1.*I see that there are packages for Lenny. Is it safe to install these under Squeeze?Being new here I am not sure where else to look for third party packages is, so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I'd very much prefer not to try to build from source as I'll almost certainly clobber my 4.4 install in the process.

Squeeze-beta was my first foray into Debian, and I love it. I changed my setup to a rolling setup with testing (Wheezy), and have done that for several months. Lately, I got a new kernel, but it reboots to a terminal rather than GUI (I'm a simple laptop user). I think it's because of the NVIDIA drivers, and here is what I've tried (meanwhile, I'm using the previous kernel):
# apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
# m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-source
A blue screen appears that says:
module-assistant error message Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use.
You can try:
module-assistant prepare
or
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
I have done both, rebooted, and I still get the blue screen. I also see this message:
nvidia-kernel-source was not built successfully, see:
/var/cache/modass/nvidia-kernel-source*buildlog*
...and I have copy/pasted the file below (which omits lines 101-200 because this message is too long then):
/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel'
test -f debian/control || cp debian/control.template debian/control

I have not been able to install and successfully run Ubuntu 9.10. I am now wondering if I will be able to go from 9.04 to 10.04 this coming April. I think that somewhere I read it isn't good to do this, but I don't have much choice.

I have been learning Debian by using a virtual machine. After fine-tuning my installation procedure, I decided to copy that installation to my physical system. The hard drive already has another Linux based system installed. I plan to dual boot.After copying files I updated fstab and menu.lst.The partition scheme between the virtual and physical environments are similar, but the partitions are not mapped exactly the same.Thus the Debian system on the physical hard drive fails to boot simply because the initrd is created for the root partition location on the virtual machine. The initrd created in the virtual machine is looking for the root file system on /dev/hda1 whereas on my physical drive the new location is /dev/sda7.How can I rebuild the initrd on the physical system? I started to use the installation DVD in rescue mode, but I did not get too far.

I down loaded Debian 5.0.4 and burned it to CD (several times I might add till it was right) and now the computer I'm putting it on wont acknowledge it as a boot disk and load. It does not have a problem with my windows cd, which has a crack and the start of all my problems, But not the Debian CD-1 disk. what now? The computer is an IBM thinkpad a22p. Everything works as far as I can tell. But I was going to reinstall Windows and failed in that because of a small crack on the edge of the disk that stopped the install and any hope of accessing the file on the laptop. Microsoft does not support windows xp any longer, you must buy windows 7, but the ibm will not run it due to processor speed and ram limitations. But it will run linux and I'm willing to try it just to get out of microsoft control.
Idon't know what else to do. This is the link to where I downloaded the software ( [URL] ). The others five that i downloaded were on the same page that I got this one. Are there bad files here? Is there a missing file in the disc?

I'm somewhat familiar with Ubuntu (familiar but not sharp!) but have never tried Debian OS until now. I've installed Debian 5 64bit as a guest on a Mac host. I'm impressed how smooth the install went; even installing VB Guest Additions went smoothly. But, I get a "Your system had a kernel failure" error after booting. I have searched the forum & didn't find this error. Everything seems to work okay but is there an update that isn't showing in the Update Manager? Could this have something to do with VirtualBox 3.1.4?

After installing debian 5.0.4 basic from first dvd, I extracted all other dvd images to hard disk and pointed /etc/apt/sources.list point to all these directories.
after refreshing using synaptic package manager, I got list of all 20,000+ packages, and did a
"apt-get -y install ......(all 20,000 names)". It failed due to some conflicts. So I used "--force-yes -f " option as well.
It went on for nearly two days to install everything. (in between due to power failure, something was done half way and was able to login to KDE boot option and see lots of software installed.)
After complete install - it shows a startup screen of Debian EDu - but fails to boot up.
Is there a way to install all softwares + all XWindow systems simultaneously?

I have a question: I'd like to install Debian next to Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. I've been searching on the web but I can't figure out what to download and what to install. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 1355LC that runs on an AMD Athlon XP processor. Also when I install Debian, will it recognise my Linksys WUSB 54 wireless device? (I've read somewhere that it could be that WLAN connections aren't supported with the net instal Cd) I know there's a lot that I'm asking, but I really want to learn more about Debian.

I keep installing Debian Workstation Player on Debian, but it just doesn't open. I think it might have something to do with the VMware kernel modules not being built or something. How can I start troubleshooting this? Also, why isn't VMware packaged? Has no one tried packaging it yet, or is there a more complex reason?

I have debian8.2 installed in VMware 12 with gnome desktop as guest os.
It boot into gnome successfully. But it will not boot into CLI mode and recovery mode. While boot into CLI, It is stucked in a blank screen, no cursor, after long long boot log splash in the screen.
To boot into CLI rather than gnome, I just set default.target into multi-user.target for systemd. I checked the syslog for boot into CLI, found that systemd execute getty 1~6, but it seemed to no success log and it seem to no other log for systemd. Is it failed to getty?
I check the grapyical.target and multi-user.target in systemd, find multi-user.target is the only one target required by graphical.target. Multi-user.target can be execute successfully during boot into graphical mode, while it will not be successfully execute during boot into CLI mode. That's is so unpredicted. Is there something else I missed?

Installed Debian 6 (latest stable, downloaded today) i386 under VMWare 7.1. Installed VMWare tools. However, when i activate Unity my mouse won't work at all in guest OS windows, it will only work as if i was pointing to guest desktop. It is all ok in Workstation window.
Unfortunately, there is no xorg.conf, and when i attempt to re-create it using Xorg -configure, the resulting file is unusable, i.e. system freezes when i test it (using X -config /root/xorg.conf.new) and if i just cp into /etc/X11/ GDM fails to load, and manually typing startX in command prompt i get "fatal error no screens detected".

As some people may have seen in my previous thread, I was trying to get X (or XFree86) working in VMware. Right now, I'm in Debian Woody, with startx failing on me yet again. I thought I had everything setup ok, but alas, it seems like I do not.
When I try to mount the cdrom drive and install vmware tools, it get errors listed in picture 1. (Also attached is my boot log, hopefully that can help. Please see boot.txt)
Now, back on topic, I have attached XF86's log. As usual, the error is near the end of the file. I think the root cause of x not starting is this symbol issue, although I really don't know for sure. It seems like startx sort of works, since when I try it, vmware resizes the window as if the proper resolution had been entered, and it was about to start drawing the desktop, but then it goes back to the normal terminal resolution, at the command line.
I recommend that you view these files with any text viewer but windows Notepad, since it can't seem to understand return characters.

Recently I set up a Debian server following this guide:
However I wasn't able to connect to the internet after the clean install of debian.
I found a fix:
Where x is a number not in use by any machine
Where y is the number on the gateway
These commands are appended to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and works fine.
The server is virtual and running on a vmware installation.
The problem, I have, appears randomly after the server has been startet. Sometimes after 20 hours and sometimes after 9 hours only.
I can't connect to the server through the web (server.mydomain.com). However I can reach my computer running vmware at (host.mydomain.com). In vmwares terminal window I can access the debian installation which is running all fine. No errors or so. I can even ping remote ip-adresses from the debian server without problems. Restarting the server fixes the problem. But it then re-appears after some time.

I am running Vmware server 2.02 on a Windows-7 host. Also I have installed Debian Lenny as a guest on top of the vmware server.
I have installed Vmwaretools, the screen resolution is fine but the mouse pointer movement isn't smoothly. Side effect: When I move the pointer from the Windows-7 host into the debian desktop windows, the pointer stops at the border for a while and then jumps at ones to the middle of the window.
I have the same problem with squeeze-32-kde-4, lenny-kde-64, lenny-gnome-64. I do not have this problem with Suse linux 32-kde4. When I move the pointer over the windows border, the chape of the pointer changes ( windows > linux ) and the movement is fluently without any interuption.
