Debian :: Quanta Plus Stable ?
Feb 28, 2011
Now that we are on Debian 6 it seems that Quanta Plus is not yet available because of it not running with KDE 4 ....?
I have blocked my main work horse on 5 that is ok, but I have upgraded my laptop to stable its nice and fast and very much more multimedia
But no quanta, I can use kate and have tried a bunch of other editors none manage projects like and are complete as Quanta I am totaly addicted to it!
I have tried having lenny and squeeze together in the source list but I get BIG dependencies problem and fear stability isuues as I am not sure what I am doing
I had an Idea of putting an Ubuntu 10.10 source in there as it works on that, any body tried this ?

I've just install debian squeeze version, or the testing one, but I am not really happy with it. Is not listening me all the time. If I install the debian stable I don't have internet connection. Is it possible to update the kernel somehow using the testing version?

I've been setting up a Lenovo Thinkpad T420i and have gotten most of the kinks worked out, except for the fact that the display has some annoying artifacts as you navigate around, I guess due to bad video support. A post [URL].. on the same machine said that upgrading all X packages to sid (unstable) fixed these problems, but those packages aren't available in stable.
I read another post (can't find the link now) that said Debian wasn't planning on backporting all the X packages, only related libraries and modules. And I don't know which ones specifically would fix the issues I'm having.
So I thought I'd ask what my options are. I could update all those to unstable, but that doesn't seem optimal (and in the future I don't want unstable bugs bringing down my whole X session). Is there a way to find out what I need and backport some myself. Or do I just need to wait until the appropriate packages filter down to stable (or at least backports)?

When I open an .mkv video file with SMplayer or VLC in Debian Stable, there is no sound, only the motion pictures, and VLC returns an error about alsa. But mkv files play normally, with sound, in VLC and MPlayer on Debian Testing. How can I get the sound from .mkv to work in Stable as well ?

I run Ubuntu Jaunty with gnome. I've become quite accustomed to using Quanta for editing website files (.css, .php, .html) etc. This is a KDE application so when I installed it, the software manager installed the KDE stuff to enable it to run. Today I switched the view of the quanta interface to "top level" from the window menu. Everything was working fine until I attempted to open a documenation window - then Quanta had some sort of error so I quit the application and tried to start it again - and it won't start.
I've restarted my computer to see if that would help, quanta still won't start when chosen from the Ubuntu Applications menu - no error message, nada.
When I try to start from terminal I get this:

I am struggling to get Debian 8 stable to boot on an apple powermac g5. I installed using guided partitioning, and chose the all on one partition scheme. I am able to select the Debian hard disk from the boot drive selector from mac. I get to the first stage bootstrap, press L for Linux, and then it simply redirects me back to the drive selection. However, after I'm redirected the colors are messed up.

I have installed debian 8.8.1 stable and run updates. When I run the cat release command it shows stretch/sid. I made no changes to the apt/sources list.

I don't mean this to be in any way a critical post but I've recently switched to Debian from numerious other distros because of it elidged stability and speed. However I'm using the stable version and frequently have to reboot for certain things to work and frequently multimedia based programs crash on me. I've installed the repo from debian-multimedia.org so I don't know if that's causeing any problems. It crashes on me multiple times a day. Now it's not the OS itself which is the problem I'm sure but more the software in the repos. However it was my udnerstanding that this software was pretty darn well tested.

What is meant by "stable" and "conservative"? I hear these adjectives get used a lot in reference to Debian. Does it translate to less buggy, less crashes and lagging behind in out-of-the-box support of new hardware?I noticed of all the distros for example, that my Wacom Graphics Tablet couldn't plug and play with Debian.

Okay where do i get the kdewebdev package with Quanta+? I have the oss repo enabled which is where i thought it was. But what i installed was kdewebdev in 2 packages. They installed and no Quanta. So then i found 'Quanta' and installed it. Still no Quanta.

I'm starting to get familiar with Quanta Plus (QP) on my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. I created a file in Dreamweaver (DW) atop the Windows OS. Now I've opened it on QP running atop Ubuntu. But in VPL mode, I only see a blank page. Nothing has been changed.

I want to install Debian Stable 8 Jessie. I've tried the main website, of course, first. But there are a lot of options there to download Debian 8: CD, DVD, Live etc. I downloaded debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso and I booted live in VirtualBox. It boots fine and the operating system looks in order.
Questions/problems:
1. The desktop icon for the installer says "Install Debian sid". But from what I know "sid" is unstable version. I do not want unstable, nor testing. I just want normal Stable. Did I got the wrong version? The website is a bit confusing about which version is which.
2. How do I check the md5 of the iso? I know how to do that with other distros, they usually specify it near the download link and I can execute in terminal the command 'md5sum' followed by the specific linux distro iso and then compare the numbers. But I can find no such thing for Debian. I searched the website but could not find any clear info.
3. After I install, what should I do in order to make Iceweasel work with Flash and multimedia codecs? I also need Skype and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
And if I enable these non free, do I get automatic updates for them like for the rest of standard Debian software? Or, if not, what should I do?
The idea is that I want a system that is as stable and bug free as possible, but I won't use many apps beyond these ones. I don't need the latest and greatest software as long as these get security updates. Should I be ok with this configuration?

kernel with which most version number may be compiled in Debian 5 stable without updating to testing? 2.6.32.8 can't compile, if not turn off virtualization, since Documentation/least/least.c
contains
#include <sys/eventfd.h>
which is present in libc6-dev from testing, but is absent in stable.To drivers compiling kernel used own linux/eventfd.h.

I am trying to keep a stable system (after a date with the unstable version which broke everything ) but a package (namely deluge) is horribly out-of-date. It is better in the unstable packages.I read the official documentation with the preferences file, pinning and the rest of the apt zoo but after a few tests I am still there with my old deluge in my stable environment.(in reality I managed to upgrade deluge by swapping the sources.list file with one with only the unstable repositories -- but this is not a particularly clever approach)I would be very grateful if someone could give me the right content for the preferences file which would allow to keep the system at stable level, except for the deluge package which should be updated to the newest, bleeding edge version.

I recently bought a Dell 10v netbook and put Debian lenny on it. I got everything up and running, except that sound doesn't work. Two links I found said that the solution was to download alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-util from the ALSA website and ./configure && make && make install:
[URL]
Another source says this can be fixed on Etch by recompiling alsa from source:
[URL]
However, I'm running stable lenny, and I'd rather do things the "right" way instead of doing a regular make install. Is there a way to grab the binary packages from testing/unstable and install those without problems? If that's not possible, can I grab the source package from testing/unstable and use that? If that's not possible, can I download the source from ALSA's website and build a package myself?

My Quanta Plus can not access files on my network shares.I have my network drives mounted in /etc/fstab and they work great with all programs EXCEPT Quanta Plus.When trying to open any file on a network drive I get the following error: The file <filename> could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. Check if you have read access to this file.I can use any other editor, Screem, Bluefish, gedit, pico, etc and open, modify and save files on these same network drives. Something I just realized is that Quanta Plus is a KDE app. Could it be that there is some KDE networking component that I am missing? This does happen to be a fresh Ubuntu install on a new computer. I have Quanta Plus installed on my old computer and it works fine with these same network shares (same fstab file), but over the years I have installed many programs on it and perhaps it has a KDE networking piece that hasn't been installed on this new computer.

I have found some stable releases of packages I use which are included in Debian stable to be outdated.For example: I use Kdevelop. I absolutely love it. Checking Kdevelop.org says that latest stable release is 4.2.3.However on my system, the latest stable package found is 4.0.1 In my sources list I've selected to use only stable packages:
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
BTW, I assume this is how I only get stable packages ? Why is it that although there are newer stable releases of Kdevelop, the latest (stable) found on Debian is 4.0.1 ? Is there something I can do in order to include those newer stable releases, other than downloading the source from the wesbite and building/installing ? I really like the way Debian handles it's packages, and I understand that Debian has it's own ways of doing things.

I installed Jessie with the RC1. URL...A2) The network install images for testing (jessie) can be found at URL...However, unless you want to test the installer for testing the better choice is to use the stable installer to install a minimal stable system and then upgrade to testing by changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
