Debian :: Number Of Debian Users?
Oct 29, 2010
I don't want to start any kind of flame war or comparison with any other distros, but I'm curious how many users of Debian there are.For example, there's the popcon system which tells you for each package what percentage of popcon users have that package installed. Which is great, but what total number of users does that equate to? Is there any way to tell whether popcon is used by 90% of Debian users, or 1%, or 0.01%? if popcon says that a package is installed by 0.5% of users, how many is that? Even a rough guesstimate would be interesting.

Is there any guestimate of the total number of debian users or debian computers world wide?What about total GNU/Linux users (any distro)?

Is it possible to setup SSH Daemon to listen on multiple ports and only accept specific groups to a given port? In the past I've created a second SSH Daemon by copying the config file and /etc/init.d/ daemon then configuring each port separately / rules however if I was able to maintain just the one Daemon that would be optimal. Is this possible?

I'm new to Debian and I have just installed it on three machines. To begin with they checked about 60 or so repos when doing an update. Then quite quickly this dropped to 48. I have removed the DVD media from the sources list after installation but that was before I saw this drop. It happened after an update as far as I can tell. I didn't think anything of it at the time. By the time all three were set up they were all only checking 48 repos. However I also have a VM, for trying out new stuff, and whilst that has been updated it still remains at about 60 (currently 59).

I currently have a problem in running rsync on 64 bit Debian Jessie (although the problem also occurred with 64 bit Debian Wheezy)I am trying to use rsync to archive my home directory (which is on a hard disk) to a USB memory stick. The home directory is about 18GB in size and the memory stick has 32GB.
Unfortunately, rsync hangs after copying a certain number of files and the process eventually has to be killed. Rsync was rerun but hung again at about the same point as before.This has now happened several times. Each time the hang occurs at about the same point.Use of strace after the hang shows that rsync appears to be processing a pdf file at the time, although not always the same pdf file.I originally had the rsync hang problem on a PC which ran 64 bit Wheezy and which used a USB 2.0 port.
I now am running rsync on another PC, which runs 64 bit Jessie and which uses a USB 3.0 port..I have also tried three different USB sticks, two from one manufacturer and the third from another manufacturer.All give similar rsync hangs.

I have recently switched to Debian and got everything working great except for one thing..When I want to kill some time by playing a game (in wine or native) in fullscreen it works fine except for a big number I get in the left corner of my screen that won't go away until I close the game and open the ATI control center.This is very frustrating and quite annoying. I am using a dual monitor setup and I have tried disabling my 2nd monitor when I play a game but that still causes this problem. Also I am using the drivers I got right off the ATI website.

Just noticed this, when I am logged into OpenSuse 11.3 under my default user (autologin) I have 3 of the same user logged in, eg when I run top it shows 3 users and when I run the users command it shows the same user 3 times. Is there any reason for this? Do I need to investigate this at all?

I'm running 64-bit 10.04, upgraded from 9.10. The problem I am experiencing is that any user accounts aside from my main account are problematic. This includes any accounts I add, as well as the GDM guest session.The specific problems that I have thus far experienced are as follows:
1. The desktop loads often improperly. In the latest instance of this the graphics on the right side top panel were randomly chopped-up, leaving parts of my clock on either side of the volume control, among other things. 2. If I make ANY customizations to the desktop at all, the desktop takes nearly a full minute to load on log-in. 3. Flash videos don't work properly on Firefox. Sometimes they only play after refreshing a page, often they will not load at all. Also, attempting to load or play a flash video will sometimes causes Gnome or Firefox to crash. 4. (And this is the one that REALLY has me stumped) Whenever I log into my main accountant after logging out of another account, the IBus control appears in my system tray.However, when I open the IBus preferences the associated check box is (and has always remained) unchecked.Not sure where to go with this one. More than anything, the IBus bug makes me unsure of where to even begin looking for the problem.

I know of /etc/security/limits.conf and that can be used to limit all sorts of good things, but I haven't found anything that talks about using this when the users come from LDAP. Would I be able to do something like
@"Domain Users" soft nproc 25
@"Domain Users" hard nproc 40
where Domain Users is the group all users belong to in our system.

I'm writing a user ranking module for a site. This ranking depends on some criterias and it's possible to set or unset any one of these criterias in order to consider them in calculating the user rank or not. And here's the way I've implemented the ranking calculation :
when I set one or more of the criterias to be considered in ranking , for each user in the system I insert one record for each criteria , for example : if I have 2 criterias and both are set and consider that I have two users , I'll have :
Ranking table
--------------
username | criteria | to_be_added | score
--------------------------------------------------
user1 | criteria1 | 1 | 0
[code]....
It means I just set the to_be_added field to 1 for all of them and leave the calculation of score for each criteria for each user to the time the user logins so that to prevent doing all these calculations at once , because there are a huge number of users ... But there is one problem , if I want to show for example the best user (based on the highest score) , the result can't always be true because some users might not logged in at that time and their score might be zero .

Debian 5.02 on an AMD 64. I removed iceweasel and installed Firefox. On my account, I can access the net ok from FF, but when I login as another user, I cannot get out.
During the iceweasel removal, I suddenly got dumped out. Trying to recover I ended up restarting the box. I then again went to the root and 'aptitude remove iceweasel' and it came back ok. Then I installed FF per [url]. This worked fine on my 32 bit laptop btw. I even added a guest acct and FF worked, but not so on my 64 bit box. Any ideas on where to go?
And the reason for FF was that some media was not playing with iceweasel as it was perhaps too old? I didn't think 3.06 was that old myself, but when I installed FF, the sites that weren't playing fired right up.

I'm building a small web gui to connect a 3g modem with wvdial via web interface using perl cgi. Which permissions I should use. Now when doing "wvdial 3gconnect" from the perl script it don't have permission to do anything, reading config files, accessing the modem etc.
Its just a little raspberry with only 1 user not available from the internet so its not a problem with loose security. Is there some easy way to let the www-data user get system wide permission without setting the permissions on each thing it should access?

Just installed Debian on a laptop. I'm not a Linux noob, been running Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Fedora elsewhere for a while. But first time with Debian (Gnome). [Broadly pretty happy so far. It may supplant Kubuntu on my desktop as the latter seems a bit of a resource hog.]I want the login screen to offer a list of users.I've tried System > Administration > Login Window > Localand chosen Themed with face browser from the dropdown marked Style:I'm using Bijou (though I've also tried some of the others) as my theme, in case that makes any difference.I haven't got any pictures set up for users. It's not particularly that that I want, just a list of users to choose from rather than having to type in your username each time. It's a family setup, no big security worries, so easing typing would be nice.

I have Debian 8 installed, using:
* gdm3 as the default display manager (set up in "/etc/X11/default-display-manager");
* LXDE as the default desktop environment.
I did "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and I selected three languages: "en_US.UTF-8", "it_IT.UTF-8", "sv_SE.UTF-8" (the predefined one is "it_IT.UTF-8").Now I wish to create two more users each with a different language (both for X and console applications).I did a lot of googling without success; I tried modifying ~/.profile or ~/.dmrc (adding "export LANG=...") but they didn't work. I was able to change only the system-wide language, not the one of a single user.I got the conclusion that It's not possible to have multiple users each with a different language. Is it true?
I made another try.In another installation (Debian 8, with GNOME and LXDE) I created two users:antonio, ida.The former has only one hidden file in its home-dir: ".bashrc" with "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8" as the last line (no "export $LANG" added).The latter ("ida") has only two hidden files in its home-dir:
1. ".bashrc" clean, with no "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8" line
2. ".dmrc" containing two lines:
Language=sv_SE.utf8.I put "/usr/sbin/gdm3" in "/etc/X11/default-display-manager".After reboot both users are OK: each of them displays its own language: antonio has all menus and programs in italian ida has all menus and programs in swedish.
I was able to create 4 users with 4 languages (SE, IT, FR, ES). Then I deleted all directory and files (including "~/.bashrc" and "~/.dmrc") of one user, rebooted the PC, and NOTHING changed! So, where is stored the user's language?Not in his home; there is a list elsewere?
0. Use "lightdm" (not "gdm3") as the display manager (see "/etc/X11/default-display-manager")
To install it: su -c "apt-get install lightdm"
1. su -c "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
(select the desired locales: en_US.UTF-8, it_IT.UTF-8, sv_SE.UTF-8, etc; set "default locale for the system environment=None")
2. su -c "adduser emil" ("emil" is the name of a swedish user)
3. Logout
4. Select "Swedish" as default language (see at the top-right corner of the screen)
5. Write user name (emil) and password to login
6. After login, language is english (but file "~/.dmrc" is created with the correct language).
7. Reboot PC.
8. After reboot, login again as "emil": now language is Swedish
Now you can change the display manager to gdm3 if you prefer.To change applications language: su -c "apt-get install task-swedish task-swedish-desktop"
I found the file containing the user's language: it's the same containing the link to its icon:/var/lib/AccountsService/users/UserName.(needs "apt-get install accountsservice"). Editing that file is much simpler as I described earlier

I have to add my students as a user to a class-server to have them work on some TCP/IP-related questions. The server is Debian Lenny.
It would be easy if I could make some kind of script to add them, even with a standard password like 'abc123'. I want to show them the way FTP uses clear-text passwords as opposed to SFTP. Or the differences between telnet and ssh.
I know something about scripting with bash, but how can I add the same standard password to each user, without having to type it for everyone?

I am running an updated Lenny. Just discovered that as user I am able to add new users via gui:

I was under the impression adding new users was restricted to root. Is this is a bug, and if so who do I report this to?

I am used to setting up users and groups on my daughters computers with Ubuntu installed.
user: magz (daughter)
user: nigel (me)
group: nima
We each have our own folder for files i.e. magz and nige. This has always worked well and it didn't matter which user is logged in we could create and access files in the other users folder with full permissions.
root@nbsq: /media/2xfi/files# ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 9 nigel nima 4096 Jul 13 09:45 magz
drwxrwxr-x 3 nigel nima 4096 Jul 13 09:45 nige
I have finally got around to getting her to try Debian which I always use, however I have never had to set up users, groups etc in Debian (squeeze) so I just did what I'm used to with Ubuntu. What I've found is that if I create a folder while I am logged in then that folder cannot be accessed by my daughter when she is logged in and the same applies if she creates a folder then I cannot access it when I am logged in, unless of course I use terminal to change the owners. In each case with the new folder the owner will be: root and the group will be: root. I would have thought what works for Ubuntu would work for Debian, however there must be differences.

I use this command line to add an FTP user:
useradd ftpuser1 -d /userdir
This works, but I don't want to give Shell access to the users.
I tried this:
useradd ftpuser1 -d /userdir -s /sbin/nologin
but then user can't login at all - not into FTP and not into Shell.
