Debian :: Possible To Determine Details Of Package?
May 15, 2011
Is it possible to see what are build-in, in a package?
In example, freeradius lacks det TLS support, or exactly it lacks the EAP/PEAP support, which is requring TLS.
aptitude show freeradius gives this, and there are some required ssl packages, but is this the way to do it?code...
I installed Apache by using the following command:
Code: sudo apt-get install apache2 I later realized that there are two (or more versions) of Apache, MPM Worker (threadsafe) and Prefork. Since I'm trying to get both Tomcat and PHP working on the same system I need to know what version is installed of Apache, Worker or Prefork?
Looking in the package documentation, it said something about a virtual package... Looking inthe mods-enable directory, I don't see anything that indicates one or the other.
I'm also wondering if Tomcat integration can work with prefork?
I have created a custom debian netinst USB stick. It has the default UK repositories in the sources list, but people in the US also need to use the stick from time-to-time.
Would it be a bad idea to mix US and UK repositories in the sources.list? Would Debian be clever enough to pick up the best repo depending on where the user is using the OS from? Or would I need to be a bit clever and create some sort of script to deal with this. (I am avoiding non-free/experimental software).
I've tried to compile certain things and after seeing dependency hell, I just aborted and would like to make sure that I have removed all non-Squeeze programs. Is there a terminal program that checks if every program that I have belongs to the Squeeze repository?
I was using Rhythmbox to listen to internet fine in Squeeze.After updating to Wheezy, some stations give me error "Could not determine stream type" - I think I have installed all the gstreamer packages - so how can I tell what is missing?

I am using LVM2 and have shrinked my /home partition and extended my / partition but I'm not sure if I used all the free space when growing my / partition. How can I find out? I prefer using the terminal if there is a graphical way to do this but I would like to know both ways if there are two ways.

I was wondering how can I determine among the modules loaded at boot which of them are really necessary and which are not, in order to reduce the boot process time and have a more "elegant" system start.
I know this theme is a little bit of complicated because it depends of the user's point of view and demand a high knowledge of which things are happening in your system but I need somewhere to start improving the performance of my debian system.
when I try to install a package, I've the message The following packages have unmet dependencies:package-xy: Depends:lib-something (>= version_number) which is a virtual package.
Is there a way to see details for a packet before updating it?
Like, if you do:
It will give you a list of packets that can be updated, but you don't know to what version and why.
How can I fund out, before updating, what is the version that the new packet will have.
Here I am talking about updates made from the command line.
On a Desktop system, you have that nice list in update manager, and if you click on an item you can see the new version and some details (what will fix, links..)
I am running UBUNTU / Windows Dual Boot on a HP Pavillion computer. My problem is that on the windows side I have lost sound and internet ( Via Ethernet ). Everything works fine in UBUNTU. So I guess I need to reinstall Ethernet and Sound drivers. Problem is how do I establish what drivers I need - Ethernet card , and Sound card.
I would like to convert all my mp3 to ogg file. I got a script by googling. Script is
Code: for fic in *.mp3 do ffmpeg -i $fic -acodec vorbis -aq 60 ogg/${fic%.mp3}.ogg; mv $fic mp3/ done
But the problem is the ogg doesn't contains the details like title artist, album art etc. Ogggconvert help me to do that but there is no cli for that. Is there any script to copy details of mp3 to ogg
I have a binary file which display a lot of message when I run that binary. This binary file is statically linked with many files which are unknown to me. Is there any way to know from which file (obj or static lib) does these printf come from?
There is a way to get to know about the source of a symbol, but I am interested about the source of a string.
How do I get the details of the last 10 or 5 mount times for my linux system. Which also includes the times it was mounted from a foreign system running in ram like puppy linux or by another OS on the same hard disk.
can someone give me some details for ssh passthrough from ssh version1 to ssh version 2. ssh version1 to version1 and version 2 to version 2 works wel, but version 1 to version 2 is asking for a password ...
Using redhat linux 4 update 5 find out the raid details of a server. I have a machine which is a t remote site. i thing all the disk slots are populated but only two disks are used. I can see those two disks presented as a volume to my operating system. I would like to confirm if the other disks are there or not
I have used Debian Linux for two years, most recently the seventh or so iteration of Version 5. I use the Gnome desktop and the Synaptic Package Manager, not the Update Manager, for updates because it's easier to build a log with the former.In my most recent update, Synaptic stripped out all the xserver-xorg files�47 in all. I thought it peculiar but did not know enough to interfere. When I rebooted, the system told me I must install xserver or correct GDM configuration and restart.
Have I been hacked? Am I being tested by the Linux Illuminati? Or does it have something to do with the warning message I received at the end of the update-upgrade, attached? And how do I go about reinstalling xserver? With Aptitude? I have tried running apt-get -f install, to no effect.
Is there stability advantages to installing the mint-meta-debian package from the repo below??? I have read that LMDE is safer than running Testing because there is less chance for breakage with LMDE. Less risky overall. Is that true?
