Debian :: Small Program / Large HDD Footprint

May 18, 2011

I have recently dropped to a command line to run a DB server. In attempting to write a bit of Python to do this process I went to install emacs using apt-get and noticed that the foot print of the install was going to be around 130 Mb. Likewise with a couple other programs the install size was going to be a lot larger than I anticipated. I was wondering how the footprint could be so large and is there a way to install software without this blow out. While I am happy to use vi or import the code from a desktop with a GUI I think this would be interesting to know.

Debian Configuration :: Startup Program Screen Too Small?

Oct 10, 2015

The "System Settings/Startup Programs" window is large enough but the "Program" column is too narrow and it cannot be resized. The window can be dragged to make it larger but not the individual columns. It looks like a Java listbox with "Enabled = false" set. This occurs in Debian8 64 bit and also in Mint 17 and Mint LMDE2. I am surprised nobody else has raised the issue. I have a basic setup with 22" screen and 1680 x 1050 resolution. It occurs with Nouveau and NVidia drivers. It is not a critical bug so I have coped with it for 2 years but it would be nice to see it fixed. Unfortunately I could not upload a screen shot as "board attachment quota has been reached".

Fedora :: Wine - GUI With Large Buttons And Small Fonts

Aug 18, 2010

I'm kinda new to configuring wine in fedora. My issue is, after I upgraded to fedora 13 and after upgrading wine, my wine configuration gui and all the gui's of all *.exe applications that I was using started having abnormally large gui's with equally large buttons and small fonts. I have attached a screenshot of the wine config GUI as it appears on my screen. My current screen resolution is 1280X1024 and I'm using an integrated ATI chip (ATI Radeon x200 express) with the mesa-dri drivers for display.

Ubuntu :: Dd From Small To Large Drive Results In Bad Superblock?

Feb 10, 2011

I'm trying to 'upgrade' my 500gb drive to a bigger 1tb. I thought it would be as easy as using dd from the smaller to the larger then swapping them. However, after using dd, although the partitions seem to be there on the 1tb drive, they all have a bad superblock and can't be mounted.

Ubuntu :: Cloning Root Drive From Large To Small Partition?

Nov 12, 2010

i am running ubuntu 10.10 and windows7 on a asus eee 1015. currently i have two partitions: 80GB for windows (NTFS) and 160Gb for Ubuntu (ext4).

I want to:

- shrink the windows partition (easy, no worries);

- Shrink the ubuntu partition

- join the space thus created in a third partition that i can use for storage, media etc accessible by both windows and ubuntu

The problem:

- i could not manage to get gparted live to run off USB stick (i get the unable to find medium.... error)

- even if i would get gparted to work and i succeed in shrinking the ubuntu partition as well, the two spaces reclaimed will be divided by the ubuntu partition, which means they cannot be joined in a third partition.

so here is what i want to do:

- shrink windows and create a new partition;

- format this new partition as ext4;

- somehow "clone" the data on my current ubuntu root into the new partition;

- format the current root as NTFS and use it as the storage partition

i am aware this may mean i would have to re-set grub etc but would the cloning of the partition be possible? that i would need to clone data from a 160G partition into a 40G partition.

BY THE WAY - forgot to mention that i have tried to load clonezilla off an USB drive and i get the same error: "unable to find medium..."

General :: Partitioning - Install Mint 11 To Small Partition On Large USB Drive

May 12, 2011

I want to install Linux Mint 11 (just came out) to a USB drive. My USB drive is 34 gb. So I want to put a 1-2 gb partition on it and install mint just to that. Is that possible? I am a noob so I want to use [URL] but the screenshots don't show an option for a partition or state any extra steps that might be involved in doing this (there's a tutorial for doing this for one of the Ubuntus using fdisk, but I don't have any linux installs right now).

I've seen several tools for partitioning.

Programming :: Small Java Program To Manage 2 Apartments?

Feb 17, 2011

this is my first post and I would like to get some help from you , so what should be the answer for this question ?:::::::::::::the question::::::::::::::::THE UNIVERSITY APARTMENTSThe University Apartments provides apartment rental to university students at affordable rates, with optional facilities:Apartment Type A, 2 bedrooms and equiped with kitchen and laundry facilities. The monthly rental for the rooms in this apartment type is RM300.Apartment Type B, 3 bedrooms includes one master bedroom with attached bathroom but does not have kitchen and laundry facilities. The monthly rental for the rooms in this apartment type is RM200 and students staying in the master bedroom will be paying an additional 40%.

Each apartment may house a maximum of 3 students. Students are required to check out from the apartment unit when the current semester ends.Create an application to manage the university apartments rental:1. Register new student and assign apartment moduleRegister and assigns an apartment to the student for 140 days from the date of registration. The module should retrieve the date automatically from the system clock and calculates the expiry date for the apartment rental. Before an apartment is assigned, the system should allow the selection of the type of apartment (i.e. Type A or B), then check for the number of occupants in the apartment. If the apartment already housed 3 students, it should recommend another apartment unit that is still available. Upon registration, student should pay a RM100 for the utility charges, rental deposit for one month and the rental for the current month.

2. Update apartment status moduleWhen a student moves out from an apartment, the apartment status is updated.3. Reporting moduleGenerates a report of apartments with full occupancy and another report for apartments where rooms are still available. 4. Search module Enable the administrator to search for a student's apartment unit using the student id as the search key. The search result should produce the student�s information and the details of the apartment that the student is staying in.The application should be developed using object-oriented concepts using Student class and Apartment class, implementing the appropriate data fields and methods for the classes. Data may be stored in collections i.e

Ubuntu Networking :: Reduce Memory Footprint 9.04?

Apr 13, 2010

Just wondering if anyone has been successful at reducing the memory footprint of ubu 9.04. I have googled and read a number of "suggestion" but when applied had little or no effect on memory usage. So, after a complete new install, I am here asking this question. It is not a biggie but I am always looking for ways to reduce memory usage without sacrificing functionality.

I try to help others who would like to try and or convert to linux but often their systems have minimal memory and they don't or can't purchase more memory. So, being able to install ubuntu with a smaller memory footprint would be a good thing.

A basic ubuntu 9.04 seems to use about 300 Mb and for many that is too much. Hence, my quest for a smaller memory requirement. I have tried the ubuntu minimal cd's but they don't really achieve much in the memory area and they take so much longer to install since one uses the internet.

At any rate, if someone knows what services or programs that can be safely removed in order to achieve a better memory usage Oh, I have looked at numerous other distro's but seem to always return to ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Reduce Memory Usage / Footprint In 10.04?

May 15, 2010

I like a lot of the last Ubuntu editions, but my computer is a little old, and Ubuntu becomes slower each edition to me.

I get a AMD Athlon 2 GHz, with just 512 MB of RAM memory...

I tried to customize my last installation of 9.10, but i just mess up with the OS. Well, I googled for informations about reducing memory usage, as well others speed-ups but all them are a bit older. Does anyone know any resource about this?

Until now I just disabled startups programs, but i really want is remove packages and everything that I don't use.

One thing thats get me up set sometimes is that I run Win XP pro under a cryptographed partition, and even yet its very fast in my PC. I even tried Windows 7, and its was faster than the Ubuntus I installed.

When I'm using the 10.04, there is a lot of memory used by cache, specially Gnome...

Debian :: Debian Live - How To Make A Small Distribution

Jul 31, 2009

I have a mini-ITX based system with a 256Mb Flash Drive and 256Mb of RAM.

I aim to use it for the following applications:
Samba Server
Cups
Rsync
Basic Web Server
File based Wiki (perhaps Dokuwiki)
Package Management (to easily add other software as required)

I don't need any X based software or Desktop.

I was hoping to create a Debian Live distribution and run the whole operating system either from a Read Only file system or from RAM.

However (after connecting a standard HDD) and installing basic Debian along with the packages I require (and their dependencies) the filesystem is already over 1Gb in size.

Is there any way this can be reduced drastically in size? Is Debian Live the best way of achieving what I want? Something like Puppy Linux is much smaller in size but I don't want something with such an emphasis on having a Desktop environment which I don't need.

Debian :: Squeeze's Console Font Is Too Small

Debian :: Large Time Lag ?

Mar 25, 2011

I have only one OS ( Debian 'Squeeze' 6.0.1 ) installed on this system. I observe a time lag which gradually grows. I was asked to install ntpd to prevent this from happening in the future and I did install it which seemed to work for a few days but now I observe the lag again. Just to note, I notice it only when I hibernate my system.

Debian :: Small Apt Repository Is Missing Installer Component

Today I've setup Debian Squeeze for netbooting with tftp-hpa and isc-dhcp-server. I have also downloaded-only all gnome packages (apt-get install -d gnome) and setup a small apt repository for base system and gnome on the same pc (server).However, my small apt repository is missing debian installer components like libc-udeb, dmsetup-udeb, ppp-modules-udeb, etc. The question is: Where to obtain those packages and their dependencies? I cannot find or download them with apt-get nor aptitude.

Debian Configuration :: Setting Up Small Web Server With PHP And SQLite3

Apr 5, 2010

I'm trying to set up a small web server with php and sqlite support. I installed lighttpd, php5, php-sqlite3 and php5-sqlite3. Then, I enabled sqlite and pdo extensions in php.ini:
extension=pdo.so
extension=sqlite.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so

However, when I try to open a SQLite3 database from php:
$database = new SQLiteDatabase($myDB, 666, $error);
I get the following exception:
SQLiteDatabase::__construct() [sqlitedatabase.--construct]: file is encrypted or is not a database

Some readings in the net make me think that my php settings are not compatible with SQLite3 databases. Is anyone successfully working with SQLite3 databases from PHP5 under Debian? Have you any recommendations? Should I rebuild php maybe?

Debian Multimedia :: Xorg Only Uses Small Part Of Screen?

Jun 9, 2011

After a install on a old Toshiba today everything looked fine. But when i tried to start Xorg it start but doesn't use my whole screen. It is not a resolution problem it just doesn't use the whole screen. Hopefully this explanation is understandable. On lenny i had the same issue but once i changed the console resolution size in grub everything was fine. Sadly this is not the case with squeeze. I already tried "X -configure" and had a look at the generated xorg.conf (posted below)

[code]....

After that is tried to run the generated xorg.conf but then it just frooze.

Debian Multimedia :: Very Small Problem With Fglrx On Startup

Aug 16, 2011

The GRUB2 menu loads up fine, and I am logged into Gnome okay right now, but in between Grub & Gnome, I see no log messages during startup. So far, it's just an annoyance, but one of these days an automatic fsck is going to find something, and I won't be able to see it. I have a custom kernel, with fglrx compiled into it, in case that matters. This system has never used radeon drivers, so I can't add any information about how this worked before fglrx; it just didn't work without it. I saw startup messages IIRC with kernel 2.6.32 / Debian 5.0, but I couldn't tell which of the many changes led to this little malfunction. Now using Debian 6.0 / kernel 3.0.0.

Hopefully, this is just a minor glitch in Grub2 or some other .conf file, maybe in /etc/X11.

Debian :: GTK Fonts Extremely Small After Upgrade To Lenny / Sort It?

Jul 23, 2010

I finally got around to upgrading from etch to lenny. After having upgraded, I find that the fonts are extremely small in all gtk applications (iceweasel, abiword, gnumeric, etc.)

Everything looked fine before the upgrade, but now the application fonts in the menu bars, dialogs, etc. are so small as to be unreadable. Also, when I open up gnumeric spreadsheets the fonts in the cells are unreadable. All my X-based applications (rxvt, xfig, xmms, etc.) look just fine, it's just the GTK apps that have the font problems.

Interestingly, web pages themselves render just fine in iceweasel. Also, abiword documents look fine even though the menus, dialogs, etc. are too small to read.

I was able to get a workaround for the application fonts. I put the following in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 code...

At 24 point the fonts are still a bit on the small side, though. And I still have problems reading information in the gnumeric cells.

I use the fvwm window manager without gnome or kde.

General :: Debian - Gnome - Metacity - Fglrx - Text Too Small

Sep 7, 2010

I am running Debian Lenny with Gnome and Metacity, and I've just installed the fglrx driver for my ATI card. I am running at a humble 1024x768 resolution, but I can barely read the text in many applications and on the desktop itself. Some programs are better than others, but for example, Icedove/Tbird's text is extremely small.

I encountered this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...aviour-569624/ but wasn't sure if it was up to date or not.

I'm sure this topic has been covered plenty of times, but I'm new to setting up X/Window Manager/Desktop on Debian, and am not sure how to proceed. I've been using Linux for a couple of years but am relatively new to Debian (I started on Ubuntu - hence the being stumped by something like this).

Debian Multimedia :: 1920x1080 - Screen Is More Large Than LCD

Ubuntu :: Fonts Are Just Too Large And Large

Feb 18, 2011

how big and widespaced the fonts on Clementine playlist are and how good they look on the appmenu (where my mouse pointer is). This is not because Clementine is QT4, I've got the same problem with Chrome, Opera etc. I've been messing with system-settings (KDE settings tool) a day before the fonts become that widespaced in order to make my KDE apps look more native on my GNOME, but I haven't touched the fonts settings there.

Debian Multimedia :: Nvidia Jessie 64bit KDE Small Menu Characters

Jan 2, 2016

I was updating my system (sudo apt-get upgrade) and had several nvidia drivers proposed as "Suggested"... I changed the options for apt-get to include the suggestions, did the upgrade, and suddenly the normal size fonts in menus, along the "task bar", inside Chrome tabs and headers, and other places became too small for my old eyes to read.

I have tried Google and found issues within Gnome (mostly fonts too large).

I have tried removing the nvidia-driver so I could go back to nouveau (which worked fine) but the next time I updated my software table (sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade) the nvidia drivers seemed to return, even though I had purged the nvidia that I had removed... what remains on the system is:

Code: Select allglx-alternative-nvidia                          install
libegl1-nvidia:amd64                            install
libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64                         install
libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386                          install
libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386                          install
libgles1-nvidia:amd64                           install

The motherboard is a Gigabyte AMD 9 Series FX Motherboards GA-970A-D3P; CPU is AMD FX-8350; video card is a GEForce 8400 gs; system has 32GB of 1866 RAM; a SSD for software and 750 GB spinning HD, both SATA III/6G.
