View 2 Replies View RelatedUnless I am mistaken, the 'hypermail' package has recently been removed from unstable.
I don't know if this is permanent or if it is just in preparation for the upcoming release.
In case it might be permanent, I thought that I'd download the deb from stable and stick it in a new directory '/var/local/apt'. Then I ran 'dpkg-scanpackages' in that directory and sent the output to '/var/local/apt/Packages'.
Unfortunately, when I run 'aptitude', 'hypermail' still shows up under the 'obsolete' section, even after I do a package update.
Have I done anything obviously wrong?
I'm know very little about Linux but decided to set up a machine running Drupal CMS on a Debian machine and it won't go. The folks at Drupal have tried to help but it seems the Debian OS won't do it's PHP thing for Drupal.
That means i'll have to start at the START I guess.

I'm trying to get my simple home web server on the internet but I cannot seem to make it work. I've set up a LAMP stack to host my website and it works perfectly on my local network (accessing from [URL].. but not from the internet. To test it for now before I set up a dynamic dns service, I am trying to access my website via my WAN IP address from within and outside of my home network (ie http://69. When I do this, I get a "taking too long to respond" message, instead of a host not found or 404 or something of that nature. My box has a pentium 4, 2 gigs of ram, and is on a DSL line so I have a hard time believing anything is "taking too long". Here are the software packages I've installed:
-ssh
-apache2
-php5
-mysql
-phpmyadmin
-proftpd
-mediatomb
All of these packages work perfectly fine from within my home LAN, but NONE work outside of my network.
Other configs:
-My router forwards traffic on port 80 to my server
-My iptables allow incoming traffic on port 80
-My ISP, AT&T, does not block port 80 (or any port, according to various online sources)
Perhaps Apache is not configured correctly? What apache config options would be related to this problem?
I've previously tried a similar setup with the dyndns service fully configured (I followed a very thorough guide down to the t - wish I had the link it was excellent), but to no avail - I got the same "too long to respond" accessing from my domain name. I understand that there are a multitude of causes for this problem, so what can I do to narrow down the source? "How to set up a LAMP server" guide, because all of them have lead me to where I am now.
I accidentally deleted one of the libraries in /lib or /usr/lib and now when I boot into Debian, it won't load the GUI. I get an error message saying that something failed because the library needed did not exist (I couldn't read it because the text was scrolling by so fast, so I don't know exactly what it said). I need to find an archive or something of all the system libraries for Lenny so I can reinstall them. Is there a place online where I can download them?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed Debian on this machine, I went with guided partitioning, encrypted lvm, and Debian defaulted to a 10GB / partition. I figured, hey, defaults are there for a reason, so left it alone.
Now that I need to shrink my /home and extend /, I'd like to do so as easily as possible. I installed system-config-lvm, read its man page ( which is really just a long description of the program, not much instruction ) and fired it up. Won't let me resize ( shrink ) /home, said files are in use.
Is there a way to use the nice pretty graphical tool, or do I need to boot to a non-X-using runlevel and log in as root, then muck about with CLI tools like lvresize and resize2fs?

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 learning japanese and I would like to be able to switch between english and japanese input while keeping an english interface. How would I achieve that? I am using KDE, by the way.
In the Kiten documentation I read that pressing Shift+Space would enable japanese input (built-in in Kiten, according to the documentation). But that does not seem to work in my system.
I'm running the current release of Debian with the 2.6.26-2 kernel. This is an upgrade from an older (2.4 kernel) series redhat release. One of the things I had working in the older system was a dns server with accompanying monthly update of the root hints file. I tried working through a dns how-to to set this up again, but it seems much has moved around since I last played with this. All of the files listed in the how-to are not where it says they should be. I am looking for a better reference on keeping the dns server running with current server information.

And noticed that since today (or mayby yesterday not entirly shure) the documentation speaks about "squeeze" and not "lenny" I am not sure if any other info is changed as well but i find it confusing. Is this an error?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to find a way to stream my home movies online, so that I can watch them anywhere. I want it to have a way to see all the movies I am streaming and just click on the one I want to play. It cannot be in flash format because of quality reasons. I'd rather it be able to support xvid or divx if possible because of its compression ratio. If not the movie would have to be no more then 1.4gbs a movie and still have good quality.
The closest thing I got to this was jinzora. I have also tried mediatomb (but I cannot figure out a way for vlc player to open the files without manually entering each link and I also cannot figure out a way for it to know at what point it is in the movie ex: 43:01/1:00:00). I am willing to use other formats if needed, but the size cannot be anymore then 1.4gb and still has to be good quality.

I am running debian testing, amd64 on my box. In general, I do not experience particular multimedia problems; I can watch & listen to ..... videos without a glitch and even webcasts like [URL] do not pose any problem. However, I experience problems with some (reputable) online radios, for instance when I visit the link [URL] then words are continuously broken by a metallic sound. However, if I open e.g. with totem a simple file such as france_culture_mp3-128k.m3u whose content is given by
[Code]...
then the sound is OK. This is puzzling as this text file once again points to the same radio franceculture! Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? It seems to me that whenever I try to listen to an online radio from within iceweasel, then I have sound problems, but I have installed many plugins and I do not have problems with video webcasts that of course also include sound.

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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to stream .avi *divx/xvid* (because of the nice compression and quality) online and have all streams accessible through a web based library type thing. Something like Jinzora ( http://en.jinzora.com/ ) is what I am looking for, but it's buggy. I would even be satisfied with a web based library of streams that you click and open with an external program. I have searched a lot for this and the only thing I found that can do this how I want (if it worked right) was jinzora. I don't want to convert to mpeg4 or flv because of size and quality issues.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had a Thinkpad T61 running Debian 6 that died. I got a T400 and had hoped to save my debian 6 installation by putting the original T61 hard drive into the T400. When I do the machine gets to the Grub menu, then it starts booting and the text starts moving up the screen. Then it goes to a small blinking cursor at the top left corner and stays there.The T61 had an Nvidia card, the T400 has the switchable Intel/ATI. I went in the BIOS and told it to boot using the Intel only but no go. I'm thinking that Grub needs configging to see my new hard drive but I don't know how to do that.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm using some milters on a Sendmail box that recommends using a RAMdisk [tmpfs] to store temporary files, the performance benefits of which are quite noticeable. However, the problem is if a huge number of messages are all delivered at once this partition can be pushed off the physical memory and into swap. When this happens the performance tanks to about 1/20th to 1/30th of normal.Is there anything I can do to keep a tempfs from being swapped to disk?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems keeping my hard drives alive with openSUSE 11.3, it is happening way to often and I'm starting to think its more than bad luck. The hard drives that I have been using are brand new 500 GB Western Digital hard drives. Once I get it I would do SMART test on it, which all turn out clean, then a couple of months later I go to boot my system and I am fronted with a { DRDY ERR } { UNC}. Checking the SMART selftest log from the repair mode on the DVD I get a read failure at about 10% of the drive, the LBA of first error is: 578307645. I can't keep replacing the HDD ever couple of months its just getting way to expensive.
