Debian :: Running On An USB HDD?
Nov 26, 2010
I want to use a system like AD on linux. I've heard Samba is capable of doing that. eg. There are 10 client computers in my network with Windows XP and Server PC with Debian Linux.
Currently the networking is done on a P2P basis by setting a workgroup but I want to make it a client Server kind of a networking system where the usernames and passwords is stored on the Debian Server and the clients are authenticated against that .. Also which ever PC they use they should get their user directory files irrespective of the computer they use...
finally once all that is done ... I want to create a custom Debian DVD with the settings pertaining to my network... so that in case of a server failure.. all i have to do is just reinstall from this DVD and voila .. Everything set back to normal...

Sometimes I connect to my Debian box from another computer (using SSH on Cygwin or Linux), and once ina while I want to run some console apps. And sometimes some of these apps might complain about "another intance, Error: an instance of newsbeuter is already running (PID: 2496)". Is there a work around for this issue at all(without killing the original instance") ? The reason I do not want to kill the app because there might be 2 users connected to the same machine that might be using the same app.

i do have a strange problem get running php5 on lenny 64 inside apache2. i had installed it as all instructions on the web does: # apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
apt has enabled php automatically, so

<ifmodule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I am running Debian Squeeze, apt-get update runs by itself in the background, taking up 100% of one of the two processor cores.
I have kept the system updated.
Heres the output of
Code:
Code:
I have noticed this a couple of times now, i can kill the process and it doesn't show up again ( i haven't noticed it showing up till next reboot).
I don't have update manager to set to automatically install anything, I have set it to "Only notify about available updates".

Is anybody running MythTV on Sid, or squeeze or lenny for that matter? I ask because I am trying to set MythTV up on a fresh debian install. I had (and can put back) KnoppMyth, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth (I've got R5F27, from 2007). That said I know that my hardware works, I'm just having trouble getting said hardware to work on this fresh install.
I've tryed following this Howto: Installing MythTV on Debian Etch - MythTV which did not work for a lenny install. I wound up with an PnUP error I coudl not sort out. I then installed sid, and followed this Howto: Installing MythTV SVN on Debian Sid - MythTV which failed too. I was unable to get past installing the ivtv drivers, as per this Howto: Howto:Debian - IVTV, the building and installing the modules part. Some errorin the source files I could not sort out. I then I tryed a combination of the two, which is where I'm at right now.
I did a fresh netinstall, upgraded to sid. Installed mysql, nVIDIA drivers and ivtv drivers & firmware from the sid repos. Next I installed MythTV from the debian-multimedia sid repos. Configured the mythbackend, filled the database, and configured the mythfrontend. alas, I can not get any TV out put. I'm pretty sure it's my Hauppauge PVR-150 TV Tuner card that is the issue, but I'm at wits end in trying to sort it out.

I am running a minimal debian "Squeeze" system with xfce and recently noticed a marked slowdown in my samsung nc10 netbook performance; with all other applications closed htop revealed the following process eating up cpu which explains the slowdown. Previously cpu idled at about 10%. The user is root unlike all the other processes:user:rootpu:70%
command:/usr/bin/x :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

I have a headless Pi running Rasbian on my network. Upon booting I'd like it to automatically connect via the VPN connection. However upon startup this does not occur. I'm relatively new to Linux/Raspbian, so the I might not be going about the issue in the correct manner!
I connect to the Pi via TightVNC viewer. However when connecting using this method the GUI access is not admin/SU, hence when I try and start the VPN connection it states that this is not possible as I am "Not authorised to control networking". The only way I can connect via the VPN is to hook up the Pi to a monitor and keyboard.
1) How can I ensure that the VPN connection occurs at startup?
2) Using TightVNC viewer, how can I access the gui in admin/SU mode?
3) Is it possible (easily) to connect to the VPN using terminal commands?

I've been asked to create a Linux build which will contain open source vmview. Simple enough, but I would like to have this deployed onto different desktops from an imaging server using multicasting, we use Symantec Solution Suite 2.5 therefore the smaller the image the better for us. I would also like the image to be fully manageable i.e log in and add / remove apps etc but all it will need is a user account, a root account, web browser, rdesktop and vmware view open client.
I have gone down two routes:
1. There are Live-CD's out there that can do the important things that I want which is to use vmware view and I do like the fact that it is compatible with all our current hardware so I am happy to use this for the time being but I hate the fact that we have to boot it from CD as we have quite a few PCs in the room. I would like to convert the distro to boot from HDD exactly as you would from a CD but cannot seem to find a solution to this.
2. I have created a Debian and a OpenSuse build which does exactly what I want albeit taking a bit more disk space than I would like, but my issue is how do I capture and deploy this to different hardware as our imaging server only does cloning.

I'm running skype on my Debian squeeze with kde 4.4. If I minimize it, on a task bar it remain for a wile, and then disappear. I know it's still working because some times I see some message (user x it's online, user y it's off line etc etc) and if I type:
ps -aux | grep skype,
I receive the PID number. But I'm not able to bring it accessible in my desktop.

If you haven't heard, PS3's on custom firmware have access to a linux install of sorts.
The OS is running from an .img of a Debian squeeze install.
My problem is that installing anything makes it run out of space. (It's only a 1Gig image)
I have searched and found some info, but it doesn't seem to work.
Make sure you have loop module on your linux.
Now you can copy the linux.img to your root of usb stick...
AND...
Mount first the original 1gb linux.img and then copy it to somewhere and then create an bigger image and copy to the new image.
mount:
And then follow the how to above. i think you should copy the folder with rsync because cp command will damage folder permissions!

I recently installed debian testing, amd64, on my box and I am running the xfce desktop. When I login, I always get a bubble popup telling me that virtualbox is not running. Is it something I should be worried about? I use only Linux on my machine.

I wanted to get SystemTap running on my lenny. I use the "debian 2.6.32-bpo.5-686" Kernel. Actually my lenny doesnot support my hardware by default so I have compiled kernel modules myself to get them working. Also I have no backup so cannot really mess up with the system

I'm configuring a server for Zenoss monitoring over SNMP, but the SNMP process is running on 127.0.0.1:161 instead of 0.0.0.0:161, according to "netstat -an | grep -i udp".
Not sure why this is happening, but Zenoss reports that SNMP is not running due to this. My snmpd.conf file is the same as all of the other servers that are running SNMP, but this is the first Debian server I've tried to add (the other's are CentOS).

I am running a dual-boot of LMDE and Debian Squeeze XFCE, and I actually have a Debian XFCE question. How can I tell what is running in the background. I have been tweaking my Debian install since I first installed it about 3 weeks ago, and I keep adding to the RAM usage. What is the best way to see what else is running out there and whether or not is it necessary?

I want to get a running Squeeze onto a bootable USB-stick to test it, to make desirable adaptions and adoptions and only when I feel, that everything is okay, install that over my existing Deb-installation.
The DVD however offers only an "install" over an existing Linux-system, destroying that. Really hours and hours of Google aso. brought no solution to a - in my opinion - simple task.
I want to transfer the content of the DVD onto the USB-stick, make that stick bootable and THEN enable me to act like the system on the stick were my real OS, including of course making changes to the configurations. Only when I'm satisfied with the result, I then want to overwrite my existing system.

I recently found a laptop that had a broken / failing graphics card so i installed debian and did not opt to install the desktop environment. This system runs on my network and i connect to it through putty.
My main issue is its running hot, i touch the bottom of the laptop and its hot. This computer isn't doing anything, its running in text mode (and the lid is closed so the screen is not on) why is it so hot.
Are there any configuration changes i can make to reduce the heat? I tried to look myself online but could not find much. Is there a way i could config it so it would go into like sleep mode after x min and wake on a lan request?

In Iceweasel, WhatsApp does not properly work, because you can't download images. Oddly, that doesn't happen on Firefox, so I'm considering using it.
As Firefox is not in the repos, I downloaded the tar.bz2 file from Mozilla and uncompressed it at my home. What I don't know is, what will happen when a new version is released? It has the option to autoupdate enabled but... will it be able to do so without root privileges?

I have downloaded Firefox 45.0.1.
I put the unzipped contents into my home dir.
I ran fire fox 45.0.1 with no further action - without installing Firefox 45.0.1.
All that is needed to run Firefox 45.0.1 is in place from Ice weasel.
Question: Will there be any ill side-affects by using the files from Ice Weasel to run Firefox 45.0.1? Should I UN-install Ice Weasel and install Firefox 45.0.1?
One side-affect that I have observe is that I can not make Firefox my default. Every time I start Firefox 45.0.1, I get a pop up asking if I want to make this my default browser.

I use apt-mirror to sync a local copy of Debian repo on my HDD. I recently reinstalled my Debian setup, and now I can't seem to make apt-mirror run at regular intervals!? As far as I can recall (and as mentioned on different sites) all I have to do is edit /etc/cron.d/apt-mirror
I tried adding the following lines, but nothing works
Code: Select all0 0,6,12,18 * * * apt-mirror /usr/bin/apt-mirror > /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/cron.log
Code: Select all0 0-23/6 * * * apt-mirror /usr/bin/apt-mirror > /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/cron.log
Also, the log file is empty!!

I use two separate systems both running Debian 8. On one (my main) I can't do some commands including ping, shutdown and reboot without running them as root user, however on my other system I can ping and reboot as a non-privileged user. The permissions on both systems are the same for /bin/ping and /sbin/systemctl (reboot). I thought at first it was something to do with what groups my main was in, but that doesn't seem to be the gase.
I know I can fix it by setting setuid for both, but my question is why is it different on both machines? Is there a global setting controlling this in /etc or perhaps an icmp setting?
