Debian Installation :: Unmet Dependencies When Installing New Kernel
Mar 25, 2011
I am trying to upgrade a server I was put in charge of and keep running into a loop of errors.
uname -r
2.6.11.12
When I do apt-get -f install I get the error: WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 2.6.18 or later. upgrade your kernel before installing glibc.
Then when I try installing the kernel I get the error: You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies
I am trying to install this software: [URL] .... on jessie.
I have copied lib/libIsles64.a into lib/libIsles.a and done
Code: Select all sudo make cleanall
from the main folder. When I write
Code: Select allsudo make
I receive the error
In file included from src/Interface/neBEMinterface.c:20:0: include/Isles.h:14:29: fatal error: gsl/gsl_complex.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
I have an issue with packages. When I try to install any package then I receive error like this one below. e.g. install Lynx:
Code: # apt-get -f install lynx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libperl5.10: Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.0-19lenny3) but 5.10.0-19lenny2 is to be installed libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed lynx: Depends: lynx-cur (>= 2.8.7dev9-2.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So I decided to remove libperl5.10 which apparently mess. But its not that easy, just take a look:
Code: # apt-get --purge remove libperl5.10 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). ...and now I don't know what to do ?
I am running a video script on my server and I am very new to running a dedicated server and commands. Most of our site was setup but other and someone has broke something and no one seems to know how to fix.
Here is the issue. We run a script that uses these requirements

Now our server guy ran a update inside webmin for debian and now our videos still convert but wont make thumbs. Here is what he did.
Now updating libsmbclient ..
Now the AVS script wont make thumbs and webmin still wants to do 3 more updates that get unmet dependencies errors. Here they are when we try to run another update.
Building complete list of updates ..
Now what we need to do is either undo the update he already did or maybe get the one its asking for now to work but not sure which one will fix our thumb generating problem? Here is the error in the log file of the AVS script.

So recently I've been exploring my options in terms of a desktop environment. trying out different options (Blackbox, Enlightenment ect..) and somehow in the process i managed to uninstall Gnome.
Normally I would just re-install it but whenever I try I get this:

So I go through synaptic and it tells me, to install 'swfdec-mozilla' i need to uninstall 'epiphany-extensions' so I do that. and then the terminal gives me the same error as before.. only it say that 'epiphany-extensions' is not going to be installed.
I try to install git packages, when I type ./configure it gives me the error: Code: C compiler cannot create executable Search around, and I find a solution, install the g++ packages, simply type:
Code: apt-get install g++ But it gives me another error

I'm trying to install the driver for my printer, from a repo at Kyoto University. Did it before on other distros (Etch, Lenny,...). One of the three packages has an unmet dependency, libcupsys2-gntls..... (or something- doesn't matter, it's long gone). I expected to be able to use the -d option in apt-get to download it, and unpack it by hand, and place the vital parts in the right positions manually. Done that before, somehow, not necessarily this way. But apt-get won't let me download it, because of the unmet dependency.
Is apt-get really that stupid? If I only want to download it, why does it matter if there is an unmet (and, these days, unmeetable) dependency? Could I download it some other way? I've looked at Aptitude, and can't make head nor tail of it. Synaptic? Have I got the command right? #apt-get -d install package. EDIT: Tried #apt-get install -d package. Also apt-get --download-only --force-yes package. Or I could be really subversive, and copy the two essential files across from my Puppy system. Puppy didn't notice that this lib was missing, just got on with it. Funny old world, isn't it?
I installed Debian 6.0.1.a on Friday, but the problem is that installing xfce installed a few packages that have nothing to do with it, like Brasero and metacity. I'm using the xfwm but why were these extra packages installed? All I installed at the time were wicd, gdebi, xorg and xfce4. Everything is working fine...but why the extra bits?
I have tried installing gammu-smsd on both hardy and jaunty... this is the error I'm getting...

I have tried looking for both of these packages individually but to my suprise no luck!! And when I google such error messages, nothing comes up.. I'm almost into tears..I just wish I knew what to do to begin troubleshooting and or my options at this point for making this work... some of my referenced articles: [URL]
I would like to update my kernel to version 2.6.32 to see if it solves my tv-tuner card issues (not being recognized by the kernel Lenny uses 2.6.26-2 x64). What steps should I follow to accomplish this upgrade?
So, I did the upgrade to Jessie today and everything went fine and I do like the gray look of the Gnome Classic Desktop. Not much change here.
But it is impossible for me to install the 3.16 kernel.
When I try, I get the following error (sry, it's german, but you should get the point):
Code: Select allE: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64_3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1_amd64.deb: Extrahierte Daten für »./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/rc/winbond-cir.ko« können nicht nach »/lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/rc/winbond-cir.ko.dpkg-new« kopiert werden: Es konnte nicht geschrieben werden (Auf dem Gerät ist kein Speicherplatz mehr verfügbar)
It basically says, there is not enough space on /lib to copy the modules for the new kernel. (I have about 100M free there.)
So, as you can see, there isn't that much space on / at all - don't blame me, blame the Lenny Installer. Personally I can live with the 3.2 kernel but I wonder if there is any possibility to install the never one without a total re-partitioning.
My girlfriend got a 'new' (second hand) laptop, a HP Compaq 6715s. When I tried to install Debian on it, the install went immensely slow - glacial, even. It was a very minimal install but it tooks hours to get to nowhere.
I found out online that this was because of a problem between the current kernel and the hard drive (or HD bus, something hardware-y to do with the disk) which meant file operations were extremely slow. I thought "easy, patiently install Debian and then install newer kernel". Except that after six hours, the install wasn't even halfway.
So I install Arch Linux with the 2.6.35 kernel: no problems with the drive speed at all. After a lot of researching (I only played around with Arch once, more than a year ago) I got the system into a usable state. But now wlan0 has suddenly disappeared, together with some other problems - and a usable laptop wasn't exactly what I had in mind, it was supposed to be awesome (or at least good). Which, with Debian, it would be
So... is it possible to make a Debian installation use a later version of a kernel? I'd want to install Debian with the 2.6.35 kernel, not install Debian and then afterwards update the kernel (because I don't have 24 hours to install an OS, if it'll ever even install).
I've found some stuff online but it might well have been written in the Cyrillic alphabet. All I understand, I think, is that in theory it's possible.
i downloaded the latest stable release of the linux kernel 2.6.39 and i did the following ran the command
Code:
make xconfig
and there were no errors so far so good
then i ran
Code:
make in the mix of all the command line and characters one of the lines said
Code:
stack protector enabled but no compiler support because of this the rest of the installation process is not going well i am unable to install the new linux kernel successfully. the kernel shows up on the grub boot menu but goes into a kernel panic when i try to boot it. how do i compile the new kernel in debian squeeze
I try to install ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm. Missing Dependency: ncl-common = 5.1.1-3.el5 is needed by package ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64 (/ncl-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64) I try to install ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm Missing Dependency: ncl = 5.1.1-3.el5 is needed by package ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64 (/ncl-common-5.1.1-3.el5.x86_64) So the cat is biting into its tail, as we say in Germany. (System: RHEL 5.4 64 bit in virtualbox 3.1.4 on xp host)
I am not new to Debian and used to use commands like "apt-get install <package>", "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-cache search <string>" regularly. But I never understood those Debian programs and the Debian package system with it's numerous programs and way to install things and work on software and configurations. Now, I just wanted to do something that I thought to be really easy. Get the source of an existing package. And despite spending over 3 hours - including reading the man-pages of commands - I cannot find a way!
I already don't understand why I have two such packages installed. I would like to download the source of my kernel: apt-get source linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64. This downloaded linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.dsc, linux-2.6_2.6.26.orig.tar.gz and linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff.gz
Then, I wanted to patch this - having found no explanation, I did: cd linux patch < ../linux-2.6_2.6.26-21lenny4.diff
That seemed to patch the kernel. But I am not sure - there are new files like this now_ [...] Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-capabilities.patch Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl.patch Only in linux-2.6-2.6.26: xenctrl-privcmd.patch [...]
So, how can download the complete Debian kernel source? And what do I need to be able to compile it? And - HOW to just list all available sources and search in them?!? I found lots of webpages where tools like "make-kpkg" are used, which I do not understand again. Under SuSE, I could just select the package from a list, say "make oldconfig install modules modules_install" and be ready. Under Debian, I just find no way ...
I'm using the liqorix kernel and have been updating when new versions become available. However, every time I install a new version and restart, I have to re-install my video drivers. I don't think this is normal, but I could be wrong, I'm basing my past experience on updating Ubuntu kernels. So is this normal? Is there a way I can prevent myself from having to re-install my video drivers every time I update my kernel?
After reading quite a lot about this distro, I have come to know that Slackware doesn't provide tools for managing dependencies. So how do I take care of dependencies?
If there's already a thread regarding this, please redirect me to that particular thread.
I need to install any version of Debian with the Debian Kernel version 2.6.22-3-686. I don't mind what version of Debian it is, I just need it to have this specific kernel! Debian Etch comes with 2.6.18-4-686 and Lenny comes with 2.6.26-2-686 so the kernel I need is obviously somewhere in between.
I have tried using the following commands to see if kernel 2.6.22-3-686 is available for download via the apt-get method in both Debian Etch and Lenny but it is not...
So does anyone know where/how I can download specific kernels and install them for use? I have a computer sitting next to me that has multiple kernels as an option on boot, and they all boot into the same system, however I do not know the person who set up the computer so cannot ask them how they did it
I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.
