Debian :: MondoRescue Install With Apt-get Not Working
Mar 4, 2010
I am a Debian beginner, have installed my first fileserver a year or two ago for my uncle's business and now really getting into using it and learning about Debian. I didn't install it with a GUI available as I knew I would get lazy and never get around to learning how to work on the console.
I need to setup backups to a locally attached tape drive. For backups of the server I'm trying to install Mondo Rescue : [URL]
I've always loved the apt-get utility built into Debian but I'm having issues when I try to : apt-get install mondo
I get the response:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package mondo
I've got Debian version 3.1
If I google for this error I seem to run back to links for Ubuntu, which I'm not sure if it is relevant?
I know I can run mondorescue while the server is up and running is there much impact on server activities/worload? or maybe my server will behave very slow
I have just installed Wheezy after repartitioning and had to set up my sources list myself as (most of it) was not done for me. I have just added the main official repository,security updates and the multimedia repository. To be honest I'm not sure if any of them are working when I do an update in aptitude, I think the multimedia one might be. The CD ROM isn't even working despite the fact I have done apt-cdrom add.I am getting the following when run aptitude update:
Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 CD Binary-1 20110328-05:16] wheezy InRelease Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 CD Binary-1
I just installed the lastest stable Debian (gnome) today and what I was most afraid just happened: my laptop's wifi isn't working properly, it isn't turning on. This had already hapened on livecd.
In the laptop's chassis leds, the wifi led apears as green. When I click to turn on the wifi, as shown on the picture the button, quickly disappears and appears again not seeming to have any effect at all at turning on the wifi but not showing any error either!
Picture :
What's interesting about the wifi not working is that in the installation process I was able to connect to a wifi hotspot and it connected to the internet fine!
Now after installation was complete and my system did the reboot, I was no longer able to connect to the internet using wifi.
My wireless card is Atheros AR9565 and my LAN card is also Atheros.
Here is an output of lspci and lsmod which may have some leads about the problem.
I did a base install, ran apt-get install xterm twm iceweasel xinit the install went fine, but when i run xinit, it says i need a link in /usr/bin called X to Xauth. I could not locate Xauth.
The first might be a libinput issue (I believe it's new within the last year or so): After typing, two-finger scrolling does not work until a delay of what seems to be a full second or more has passed. It's not a movement threshold issue, since wild movements don't fix the issue, nor is this delay experienced without first typing.
Note that moving the pointer and clicking with the touchpad work immediately after typing. Only two-finger scrolling seems to be delayed.
The second issue is that the touchpad does not function whatsoever during installation. Using the graphical installer, I have to rely entirely on the keyboard to navigate.
I installed debian etch on my system. Installation done successfully, but when it boots up the X server is not starting and showing error. Note : It is perfectly working with debian lenny. Configuration : Intel DG41RQ ,1GB Ram ,160GB HDD.
I have an apparently stable installation of Xubuntu that I've hand-tweaked in a few ways. I'd like to be able to reinstall this system verbatim on this machine should a disk crash happen, etc.Is there a "standard" method to create an install and/or total-backup CD that would be an instantiation of the currently-installed-and-modified system?
How can I install Mplayer for openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 The 1 click install from packman is not working and the download install is asking for libopencore-amrnb.so.0 but llibopencore-amrnb0(x86-64) = 0.1.2-1.pm.3.1 is installed
I have a dell E6400, which I picked up recently 2nd hand. Previous owners had Win 7 evaluation version on it, which had expired. Originally the machine had Vista Business on it and Lic Key intact. I installed Opensuse on without problems whilst waiting for the original Vista disc to make it's way to me - forgot to pick it up with the machine.
I now want to get rid of the expired Win 7 and re-install Vista, but the grub is only giving me the option of Windows, Opensuse, Opensuse Safe and Floppy. My machine only has a cd/dvd drive and when I've selected this the dvd has started, but then it looks like it defaults back to Opensuse which goes so far then freezes. No obvious way for me to reinstall vista. This may of course be a completely daft question to ask, but I've looked at this for an hour or so and can't figure it out...?
/etc/apt/sources.list Code: Select alldeb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main deb http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates main
No matter what I try I just cant get cron working for me on my Squeeze setup I can type /usr/bin/soffice and openoffice will fire up no problem but put into a crontab and nothing for instance just to test if crontab is working I have this/5 * * * * /usr/bin/sofficeIn y user crontab but nothing happens I have run as root crontab -u djt crontab And after editing the crontab with crontab -e it says it is installing crontab but it just does nothing Unfortunately I am connected to my works network so unable to receive internal mail from cron so cant find any reason for it not working
I just updated to a new Kernel, in Squeeze. So far everything seems to be working properly but NetworkManager. It shows that I am not connected but I obviously am because I am posting this thread. When I click on the icon in the bar by the clock, with active applications, it does not show any networks available, even though I have wireless and networking enabled
I use my debian machine for masquerading, packet filtering anilar for a tiny network.It runs the latest debian testing.Every now and then (i am talking about weeks) the connection to my internet stops working.ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 brings it back.The other interface (eth1) is never effected.The odd thing is, there are no warnings, no messages .. nothing.I cant find any entry. Nothing in the logs, nothing in dmsg and no kernel panic.The only way to find out when it might have been happened is to search in several daemons log files,to find out when their first error connecting to the internet occurred.I ran memtest without any results.The nic is e1000 compatible.
I installed Debian Squeeze yesterday and I got almost everything working except for the backspace key in any browser I've tried..I'm running it on HP Mini 210 if that can help w/ something and one more i tried upgrading it to testing but a verry long and boring text file appears and to close it and continue, i have to press the end button the problem is that i do not have one .. i've tried every single other key on the keyboard - still nothing.
I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z, and running Debian Squeeze/Sid. My problem is the cpu fan is not working, and I don't have a clue how to solve the problem. When the CPU temperature becomes too high, the laptop stops, so it's very annoying. I can't compile anything, or run an "heavy" software.
The fan is working, just after the boot before grub menu or under Windows Vista there is no problem so that is not a hardware problem.
I've installed lm-sensors, the output is acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device
In order to save power and to cool down my Debian system a little bit, I installed cpufregs the other day and changed it the cpu gonever to on_demand.
Well I came back to the box today and powertop tells me that the cpu has been running at 2.66ghz (max freq) for 99/99% of the time.
Running cpufreq says this: Code: analyzing CPU 0: driver: p4-clockmod CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1 hardware limits: 333 MHz - 2.67 GHz
I recently installed Squeeze, installed several applications via the package manager and almost universally, the help menus don't function. Flash is installed and works for Iceweasal, at least I can watch a ..... vid.
I have XP and win 7. I want to triple boot with Debian.When I install, grub finds win 7 and XP and says everything should be fine, but then when I boot, only debian appears.This was fixed by doing update-grub2 after logging in.Now, I have win 7 bootloader as an option. However, when I boot into XP, and then reboot, grub disappers. he screen just says welcome to grub and then a blinking cursor.
I have Inceweasel 31.8.0 installed on LXDE Debian Wheezy and I am trying to make AdBlock Plus work. The thing is that I get pop-ups from any site, Youtube ad videos, etc. all the time, just like I have nothing installed to prevent that.
I tried:
- Installing AdBlock from Iceweasel add-ons, with a suscription to easylist ; - installing xul-ext-adblock-plus (also with the same suscription).
With each configuration or even with none of them, I get the same results as described above. Is there anything I can do ?
By the way, I don't get Youtube ad videos on Chromium with Adblock installed through the Chrome webstore.
php5-memcached is working without problems but has no igbinary support.
So i did:
Code: Select allwget https://pecl.php.net/get/memcached-2.2.0.tgz tar -xzvf memcached-2.2.0.tgz cd memcached-2.2.0 phpize ./configure --enable-memcached-igbinary make make test make install
And also put Code: Select allextension = /usr/lib/php5/20131226/memcached.so in the php.ini
After installing 3.5.6 from backports, applets stopped working. I installed the java-6-sun package but it's still not making it. Searched google but haven't found anything but some bug fixes. Also saw something about ipv6, but not sure if that's related. That seemed to affect java programs. I use jedit and that is working fine. I downloaded the latest SDK from Sun and created a link from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins to /opt/SDK/jdk/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so. Prior to the update to 3.5.6, the plugins were working and I could get the ..... stuff etc.
Install openssh so that I can access my desktop (192.168.1.100) from my laptop (192.168.1.200) using konqueror with "fish".Googled and read that the sshd_config should be updated to enhance security.Tried fiddling with sshd_config on the desktop and hit a brick wall.Before setting ListenAddress 192.168.1.200 in sshd_config, the laptop can access the desktop with problem.However, after setting it, the laptop is not able to access the desktop.
