Ubuntu :: Could Not Find "/home/oded/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/~/.gnome2"
Oct 12, 2010In past releases, entering the "~" operator in the location bar, nautilus would interpret it as "/home/$USER" but as of 10.10 I get an error saying:
Code:
Could not find "/home/oded/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/~/.gnome2".
I'm running nautilus-elementary but this behavior also occurred in the default nautilus app that shipped with 10.10

May 13, 2015So, 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.)
df -h says:
Code: Select all/dev/dm-1 322M 209M 97M 69% /
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
/dev/dm-2 8,3G 5,6G 2,3G 72% /usr
/dev/sda1 228M 28M 188M 13% /boot
/dev/mapper/linux-var 2,8G 577M 2,1G 22% /var
/dev/mapper/linux-tmp 368M 11M 339M 3% /tmp
/dev/mapper/linux-home 58G 55G 628M 99% /home
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.

Debian Configuration :: Apt-get Auto-remove After Installing Jessie
Jun 20, 2015After installing Jessie, apt-get gives me a huge list of packages with the suggestion to autoremove them. Now, I've tried auto-remove once and was left with a naked Gnome, so I was wondering if there's another way to find out which packages I should keep and which I can safely remove. Is it safe to delete packages that cannot be found using the search function for the stable release? I checked them one by one here URL....How about linux images that won't appear in the above search?

Debian Hardware :: Installing Canon Printer Drivers To Jessie
Aug 4, 2015My purpose is to be able to use Canon printers with my debian jessie system (installed via netinst iso).
I have read this wiki page but unfortunately it is a little old. I still have followed/adapted the instructions there but it fails on my system on step 6. I will explain below.
Latest Canon drivers in the official website is v3.10. US version of it can be obtained from here.
When I try to install .deb package in the driver file archive I get following output:
Code: Select allsudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-ufr2-us_3.00-1_amd64.deb
[sudo] password for ert:

And the next thing I tried:
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install cndrvcups-common
[sudo] password for ert:

Package cndrvcups-common is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. However the following packages replace it:

E: Package 'cndrvcups-common' has no installation candidate
I cannot solve this package error.
Debian Multimedia :: Use Gnome2 Screen Completely Freezes
May 1, 2011when Gnome starts my Desktop completely freezes. So I decided to reinstall and install Gnome2. When Debian is freshly installed I still need to configure and install my ATI 6950 Graphic card and the X config. Since the latest drivers from ATI I can use the --initial config from ATI. This all seems to work. But also when I use Gnome2 my screen completely freezes. I don't see any special things in my logs. I do remember that with my previous PC I had the same problem. This was the "first" reason why I left Debian for my desktop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Finding A Gnome2 Globalmenu Ppa For Natty?
May 1, 2011Basically as the thread tittle suggests, I've got Xubuntu 11.04 installed as I didn't take to Unity. However one thing I really did like was the global menu. Back in 10.10, I installed GlobalMenu from a webupd8 ppa, Worked like a charm. However under xubuntu 11.04, that ppa doesn't seem to work, and I don't like the look of compiling from source, as all the instructions call for installing xfce4 panel, which obviously I already have, and I have no idea what else I have of those lib's. All this is intended to run in xfapplet, so hopefully I'm not being silly and trying to run something somewhere where it won't run.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Focus Follows Mouse With Natty And Gnome2?
Jul 5, 2011I'm using the ubuntu-classic + compiz desktop with 11.04. However, compared to older versions the behaviour of focus-follows-mouse seems to have changed for the worse when using the keyboard to switch applications. In older versions, an app selected using alt-tab or scale or similar keyboard method would get focus, even if the mouse was not over it. Focus follows-mouse behaviour would only happen again if you moved the mouse to a new app. In 11.04, the app selected using alt-tab immediately loses focus if the mouse is not over it. This makes alt-tab kinda useless Is there any way I can fix this behaviour to the pre-11.04 version?

Ubuntu Installation :: Does The Natty Upgrade Replace Gnome2 With Unity
Apr 28, 2011If I just upgrade my 10.10 to 11.04, will it replace gnome with unity? I tried unity before and it is not satifying because it is not customizable, I feel I have less options and less power over what my interface looks like and how it behaves. Same case with gnome3.I'm wondering if when I upgrade to Naughty will I have to go through a lot of messing around with packages and configuration files to get back to gnome2 ? Do we have an option when we upgrade to choose between Unity, Gnome2 and Gnome3?

Jan 16, 2016I'm not having the invisible mouse problem, I don't have a mouse at all. Nothing is selected when I attempt to use my touchpad no matter how much I try. I've been trying to fix this problem for three or four days including by installing alternative OSs (Ubuntu Gnome 15.10, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 15.10), but those OSs have trouble finding the boot drive and is generally a massive nightmare. I figured Debian's lack of mouse would likely be easier to fix and so here I am. I've searched Google relentlessly for days now, the Man pages are useless for my problem, and the only mouse related posts on the forum didn't fit my own issues.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Spring On Wheezy But Not Jessie
May 19, 2015I've had a weird issue recently with Java/Spring. Basically, it would work on all machines but my trusty Debian box. Macs for devs, Ubuntu for production and some devs have it too. This annoyed me, because of course Debian is the greatest and it must work there too! Also, Java is based on the whole write once run anywhere concept, I have never really had a problem with code behaving differently on different Java installs of the same version, even on completely different OSs it seems to behave itself very well. URL....
I moved up to Jessie and the problem goes away. I can only conclude that some library that is called by Java got upgraded, somehow influences the order in which Spring resolves its dependencies. Probably the fact that other devs build on Ubuntu and have got it working there, and the upgrade to Jessie brings my libs more in line with what Ubuntu will be running has done the trick.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Actually Boot With SYSV On Jessie
Jul 26, 2015The grub boot loader offers in options to boot with sysv instead of systemd. The problem is that it seems to fail and fallback to systemd. Let's have a look on my dmesg :
Code: Select allroot@PCALAIN:~# dmesg | grep sysv
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=UUID=6740d56f-604c-4920-8c64-868e23976be4 ro rootflags=subvol=__active/root init=/lib/sysvinit/init

[code]...
So, how to successfully boot with SYSV ? Of course, the package sysvinit is installed on my system.
First, I have done a snapshot. Nevermind, is the following safe and the correct way to go back to SYSV :
Code: Select allapt-get purge systemd sysvinit
apt-get install sysvinit systemd-shim
Is it necessary to purge and reinstall sysvinit in order to guarranty configuration updates or on the contrary, will I break my system if it has none of systemd nor sysv ?

Debian :: MAC Spoofing In Jessie Fails
Feb 23, 2016I keep most of my files on my server, but fiddle with them using NFS from one or another of my laptops - so they all have static IPs assigned by my router. If I want extra speed I plug in an Ethernet cable. My old DI524 wireless G router seems quite happy to have two MAC addresses (Ethernet and wireless) assigned to the same static IP, so long as I don't try using both simultaneously. However three Wireless N routers I've tried won't allow this, nor will dd-wrt.
I really don't want to have to set up every laptop as two separate hosts on my network. 'orrible complications.
Best solution I can think of is to get the Ethernet card to spoof the wireless MAC address with e.g. macchanger, as per this excellent page here: [URL] ....
I don't mind running a script manually to do that on each occasion.
This works perfectly on my old R50 Thinkpad running Debian Squeeze, but on my R60 (running Wheezy) and T400 (running Jessie), macchanger works initially, BUT as soon as I hit 'enable networking' in the Network Manager applet, the ethernet card reverts to its original setting. So of course then my router allocates a random IP and so NFS won't work.
Exactly the same goes for the iproute method 'ip link set dev eth0 address [fakemac]' - ifconfig shows it's worked, but it reverts as soon as NetworkManager goes back up.
I don't know where Network Manager (if it is that) is getting the Ethernet card's original MAC from, it seems to be listed in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, so on the T400 (Jessie) I've even tried creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/75-mac-spoof.rules along the lines suggested in that archlinux page I mentioned -
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="[original MAC]", RUN+="usr/bin/ip link set dev %k address [fake MAC]"
but it seems to have no effect.
Short of reverting to Debian Squeeze on all my laptops, I don't know what else to do. Or getting into my router and reassigning the IP / MAC address by hand every time (!).
(If there's a better way to swapping easily from wireless to Ethernet when required, I'd like to know.)
Debian Installation :: Jessie Won't Boot
Sep 26, 2015I have two desktops running wheezy for years without problems. Recently, I reinstall jessie on one of them and won't boot anymore.The hardware is pretty normal: Asus motherboard, 12GB RAM, Nvidia video card, SSD hard drive, .After the install of jessie finishes, the very first boot failed, which means it hung up forever. The part that is annoying is that it fails at different places whenever I try.
For example, something, it fails at the following:
[ OK ] Started LSB: REP portmapper replacement
[ OK ] Reached target RPC Port Mapper
Starting LSB: NFS Support files common to client and server
Sometimes, it failed at start job is running for lsb set console font.It even failed to the console. When it goes to the console login, I can't put any user name or password. It's all frozen.The problem appears to be video card problem. But it worked fine in wheezy.
Debian :: No Decompress In Nautilus Since Jessie?
May 20, 2015In the past (with Wheezy and before) I often used "decompress" via double click on compressed folders or "compress" via right click on folders (or files) in Nautilus. Since I installed Jessie this option has vanished. I added several packages like "zip", "7z", "unzip" and so forth. Now I can do similar things via command line, but I just don't find any option anywhere to enable compressing and decompressing in Nautilus again. There seem to be no options for configuring such things in Nautilus.
I have the odd feeling my Jessie installation is broken since many little things are missing from the beginning. Should the old behaviour of Nautilus be standard in Jessie also?
