I'm a quite new Debian Jessie user. I've a very old laptop and I'm trying Openbox + tint2. Everything is ok with openbox but i have some problems with tint2, especially with tint2conf. When I try to save a config, it says "saving not yet supported".
View 13 RepliesI am running a server with a GRSecurity patched Kernel 2.6.32.36. I've tried to optimize the kernel as much as I can and know it (removing options, not needed drivers and so on) and compiled the modules into the kernel (no loadable modules anymore). I've started with Slackware 13.0 and the default config for 2.6.29.6-huge. Still I am not sure what to remove/optimize further now.
My question: Is there a way to boot with a kernel with loadable modules, check which modules are really needed for this hardware, (do something like lsmod) and save the running configuration modules for a next kernel compile to be the default .config instead of writing them down by hand and search for the appropriate names in .config or during menuconfig? (Note: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config is NOT the way I want, as it gives me just the current kernel config)
I have a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586) server that is dying (I think the disc is about to crash). I want to save all the installed software and all the configurations.
To know what software is there installed, I use "rpm -qa > outlist.txt".
But what files shall I (scp) copy ... to take away as much configuration files as possible ?
Let's start with "/etc/*.conf", of course ... but is this enough ?
The server basically runs a DHCP server and a DNS server

Apart from KsCD and CD Player, (both of which are pretty good, but very basic), I have found it impossible to eject any music CD or DVD on any of the following:

I'm trying to create a cname in system-config-bind. I can create the record but when I go to save it I get a "Zone file save error".
Here's the full output:

Why I can't save this cname?
Not sure why but I keep on getting the ERROR: Path is not writable when I'm trying to add a Slave Zone.
The server was commissioned by someone else and I remotely installed GNOME group, and vncserver as per the official CentOS instructions here.
Initially I tried using a normal (ie non root) user's credential for my VNC session. However, instead of asking me for my root password when I tried to open system-config-bind, it just doesn't load up. I ended up allowing the user "root" to connect to the server remotely via VNC, and was able to get system-config-bind to start.
However, I am now unable to save the settings, despite having done:

When I open either my user or root terminal, by right-clicking on the Minimise Window option in the top right-hand corner (beside the Restore Window and Close Window options), if I tick the Always on Top option from the drop-down menu, then the terminal Window (or any other window when this option is selected) will not minimise automatically on clicking the mouse in another open window like, for example, Iceweasel. This is particularly useful, for example, when cutting and pasting commands from the browser to the terminal and I recommend it. But how can the Always on Top option be set to permanent for a specific program, like the the Terminal so that it will be saved for the next time one logs in to a Gnome session?

I was using an extremely common debian based distro, but I have been rebooting my pc non stop for the last two days trying to get my nvidia fx5200 drivers to work. (it is just IMPOSSIBLE to disable the nouveau driver, i have tried blacklisting it, editing xorg etc, nothing works) I need to know if there are many issues with getting nvidia graphics cards to work in debian. it seems like the last 18 months worth of releases on all the other debian based distros have completely broken all support for any nvidia card made prior to 2011. i know for a fact that in windows xp all my hardware works perfectly, but i really dont want to have to use that, i have been a linux user for more than 5 years now, but all i am really looking for now is reliability. i want to be able to use the nvidia-173 driver, as i know that this allows me to watch the movies i take on my dv camera, and ......

I want to set the login to the old default of having to enter a username,password. I've tried to use the configuration editor to achieve this and have ticked the "disable-user-list" option under /apps/gdm/simple-greeter but it makes no difference, the greeter still starts with a user list. It appears that the default valuef TRUE for this function is overriding my choice, but I'm notre why. My next step appears to be to edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults to change the default value. I haven't actually tried that yet so not sure if it would work but, even if it does, it doesn't seem a very elegant way of setting this up. Is there some simple way of changing the behaviour back to asking for username first?
I seem to remember the whole login process as being more configurable than it is now, with options to choose backgrounds, allow root accest finystem->administration->login_screen only gives a choice between selecting a user or automatic login of a particular user, with no further options available.On a general note, would the old method not be a more secure default than presenting an unauthorised user with a list of login id's to be tried?
I had some issues with nvidia drivers, and removed all of the packages using
Code: Select allrm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Code: Select allapt-get purge nvidia*
Upon reboot, I was back with nouveau drivers and proceeded to reinstall nvidia drivers according to [URL] .....
Code: Select allapt-get install nvidia-driver
apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
I can then change my refresh rate using
Code: Select allnvidia-settings
but when I hit "Save to X configuration file", I get the following output in terminal:
Code: Select allroot@debian:/home/anon# nvidia-settings
Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xorg-server' found
As a result, my nvidia preferences aren't saved across reboot.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy last laptop was replaced (I gave it to my step-dad, his laptop broke and I bought myself a new one).
I am running Squeeze (as I was on my other laptop) and everything is fine except for the games. On my other laptop games like OpenArena and Warzone 2100 ran perfectly fine, but on this laptop, they are impossible to play. The game will open, but everything is so slow and choppy that it takes a couple of minutes to even move the cursor to the exit game buttons.
My current laptop is an HP ProBook4525s with the current specs:
AMD Athlon Dual-Core P340 2.2 GHz processor
2GB DDR3 RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics Card
I'm not sure what other information to put here, I've tried searching how to fix this and most people say to lower the resolution and details for the games but that doesn't work, heck, even Tux Kart is too slow to play!
When I installed squeeze I was informed that I didn't have the rtl8168d-2.fw firmware for my laptop, I'm not sure if that helps here at all (can't seem to find what it is for, the only things that google gives me are very technical with fixes that involve re-compiling the kernel).

What I do find, refers me to items that don't seem to be in the repositories anymore, so perhaps someone in the know can update us again.Yes it is lossy and proprietary, but it's fine for speech and produces a much more compact file than flac. Also, flac and ogg are not well known to non Linux users, programs and equipment. So, for compatibility, I often want to convert flac to MP3.
