Debian :: Missing UI Elements After Netinstall
May 1, 2016
Every single theme has at least one or more broken UI element. In Arc, I'm missing highlighting in the context menu, and in Numix, some application's backgrounds are just completely black. All of these themes don't give me a urlbar. I'm also missing a lot of boxes. There is no box around the word "submit" in reddit, and neither around "cancel". If you go into the search bar, I'm missing the checkbox for "limit my search to /r/...". I know these themes work, because I had them working in my last install of Debian. Except, last time I used the XFCE iso instead of the netinst. Even default themes, like Raleigh, are not working correctly. I installed all the necessary packages like the gtk2 murrine engine, but if the default themes aren't working then something is definitely missing.

I'm not sure of what is going on here, I might be missing something obvious, but anyway my fresh netinstall of Testing doesn't boot without the USB stick that I installed from plugged in. When USB plugged in it boots without problems.

I would really like to try and do a Netinstall on my laptop with it. I know I could just download the CD's/a DVD, but I would rather customize it for my laptop, and I've heard that's the fastest way. The problem is that I have to compile the drivers for both my wireless and my wired internet. I have guides to compile both the wireless [URL] and wired [URL] internet. I was wondering if there was a way to compile these drivers in a Netinstall (preferably the wireless, but wired if necessary)?

I am trying to install Squeeze on a HP mini netbook. I have been trying to make a USB to netinstall Squeeze and cannot get it right. I cannot get past the message
SYSLINUX 4.02 debian-2010.............. on booting.
I have tried to make the netinstall usb from this
[URL] dInstaller
I am also trying to understand this
[URL]
I have also tried using Unetbootin. Nothing works so far. Some simple steps to make a workable USB.

When I netinstall debian squeeze an asus netbook using using Unetbootin usb stick, at the end I am asked if I want to install grub on MBR. I agree, yes, but on booting I find that the netbook has not grub. I go back to usb stick that stole my grub and I use it to boot. I go to sunaptic and install grub, still nothing, the netbook won't boot without the usb stick.

I'm hoping to install XFCE 4.8 after a fresh install of Debian via the netinstall. Do I just change the source.list file to point to testing and then install xfce4?

I figured I'd rather do a netinstall for Debian, but it cannot find my network card. This has been the issue for Ubuntu as well. I did find this, but I haven't installed Debian yet: [URL] .... Not to mention it's 5 years old, and the links are obviously dead. I'm somewhat inexperienced with Linux in general, and I've searched for incorporating driver modules into the install but couldn't figure it out.
Where can I find the driver, and how can I incorporate it into the install? I wanted to do the netinstall to have Debian as minimal as possible.

I installed Squeeze on a server today, and struggled a bit because the network card needed non-free firmware (Broadcom something). The server had no floppy, so I had to go and get a pen drive and put firmware from non-free on it to get it to work.
I agree on the political issues on this, but sometimes it's non-free or nothing.
So I was wondering if someone know of a patched netinstall, or know how to make one? Then I could give the pen drive away to something more useful that keeping non-free firmware. Warnings and questions about the non-free would also be nice.

First impressions I really like Debian, been running a server with it for a while and just last week switched to it on my main workstation.
I have only had one problem with video. I have a Geforce 210 with 1gb (1024x768 resolution) of ram and the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed from a repo. Thing is, in all video whether flash in my browser or movies in vlc, mpv, and mplayer, I have these weird overlays that scan over the video, especially in scenes where the camera zooms in, long distance shots seem unaffected.
Also, almost every video I start whether flash or movie file, I get a flash of a green bar at the bottom of the screen very quickly and barley noticeable.
Now I know thats a rough description so I attached two screen shots (link at bottom of post), the affected area is circled in red on one, also I have attached a png of a similar image that may be more enlightening.
Notice the quality of the second screen shot, especially around Will Ferrell's head, and the greenish yellow line leading down his shoulder and arm. The general quality seems terrible. The film is in 720p and looks great in Mac.
I had the proprietary drivers installed in Slackware 14.1 and Mac OS 10.10.5(Nvidia Web Drivers) on this system, with this card and did not have this problem.
I'm in gnome latest version.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
Subsystem: Device 196e:082e
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: Device 196e:082e
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
[URL] ....
Switched Nouveau same result....

I downloaded and installed the debian 8 ppc netinstall on my powerbook G4. upon the option of which desktop environment I wanted, I de-selected debian desktop environment (I only selected printer and utilities.) After finishing the install I am prompted with terminal. I logged in and did the following:
Code: Select allnano /etc/apt/sources.list
to include
Code: Select alldeb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
then did
Code: Select allsudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
then
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
then
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install lightdm
and finally
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install synaptic apt-xapian-index gdebi gksu menu
sudo reboot
after reboot the login screen pops up. I log in, and a terminal pops up over the login screen. I think the issue is startx is not working?

I tried to do Debian netinstall from minimum iso image in my brother's pc. My Network Interface card is Intel 82578DC GIGABYTE Network Connection. The installer gives a list of drivers to install but I don't know what to do. Should I download and install from first CD/DVD? Will it have appropriate drivers then?

I installed the Squeeze with CD-ROM netinstall. My /home is in /dev/hda6, reiserfs format, and I want to preserve it, I didn't make backup, and there is not the reiserfs option in the partition editor of the netinstall, so that it would be formated the home, otherwise it is not used as home, and I can not even mount it. I try to edit /etc/fstab with the UUID of the device hda6 as home. I have just found reiserfs in http://packages.deb.at/squeeze/i386/rei ... i/download.

It seems as though every time that I want to grab a multi-arch, netinstall ISO from the site (not very often) I have an insane amount of trouble navigating the site and finding what I want. I mean there's no freaking "downloads" section that is split into testing and stable with links to the mirrors and such. I want to grab a multi-arch netinstall of both Lenny 5.0.5 and the latest, frozen Squeeze. I cannot find either. In other words, I'd have to burn six CDs instead of two. Not happening. Can somebody point me to the images that I am seeking?

I am trying to install 5.3 using net install disc, where it hangs for over 30 minutes trying to retrieve stage2.img. Second time. After first time and waiting over 25 minutes, I tried Debian net install on another box, and it's done with installation long ago, while this one is still hanging (and from the looks of it I doubt it will continue).
1. Network is good, the box pings, network parameters are good, Debian worked flawlessly with same parameters
2. It did pull all it needed before stage2.img
3. Plenty of RAM in the box, over 3 GB
4. The box needs no additional drivers (except newer version of kernel as vanilla still doesn't have a complete support for Intel DP43TF board), distro has them all

Laptop is Dell Latitude C600/C500 with Pentium III 850Mhz, 256Kb L2 Cache, 256MB RAM, ATI M3 video card, HD 20005 MB and sound card is EES Maestro 3i. After trying to do something with Windows 2000 which was installed on the machine, I decided to put Linux without keeping windows on the machine. First I try with Xubuntu (latest version) which was working but slowly, then I found that Debian could work fine on that machine. I have installed latest version 5.08 and was surprised how goodly old machine can work. I solved problems with screen resolution (change from 800x600 to 1024x768) but I couldn't find solution how to fix problem with sound.
Actually I don't have sound on the machine. I looked for a linux driver for that sound card and Dell is only providing windows drivers. Then I found that I can solve the problem with ALSA drivers but I couldn't find the easy way (or any way at all) to install drivers and to get back the sound. When I click on 'Volume Control' (top right corner of the screen) I get the message: 'Volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.'

I cannot reduce the size of all icons, context menu items etc.For example, I need to do some minor programming for the university. And this is how Eclipse Aptana RadRails look on a netbook: [URL] UI takes up to 70% of screen space, and the IDE is barely usable now. On Windows it looks like [URL] I tried some gnome themes but they all are of the same size. Is there any way how I can reduce the size at least for the whole system (nautilus etc)? If there is a way how I can apply 'nanoized' theming for desired applications only.

i've got certain functions now declared as static and their being used as pointers. So, moving on I then added a variable which so happened to be used in both static and non static functions. Here's some testbed code, the variable in question is 'window':
Code:
//g++ -Wall -I/usr/include/ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXi -lXmu -lglut -lGL -lGLU -lm main.cpp -o run
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
[Code]....
In short, I can't see the point of using a class to wrap all of this. Never having been taught programming i'm unsure as to the best method for structuring an application like this. Should (would you design) this initial section be a class?

I have been trying to perform a netinstall (of Debian). Will the WPA encryption on my wireless network prevent (or at least make difficult) the netinstall? Will I need to have the WPA password handy or even to temporarily remove the encryption?I haven't actually run into this problem yet; what I was dealing with on the last attempt, before I decided to finish the netinstall later and went back to my working Linux system (I got impatient with being stuck outside it), was that the netinstall couldn't detect my network by DHCP, and wanted me to enter an IP address. I don't suppose that would be any more difficult than going to the host computer and writing down its IP address, but thinking ahead, I wondered whether the WPA encryption would pose another problem.I didn't really think about these issues when deciuding to try a netinstall: whether my internet connection would work. I mean, if it doesn't, trying to netinstall is a waste of time.
