Debian :: Syntax On Configure Option Of Apt-cdrom

Oct 22, 2015

I can't figure out the syntax on the apt-cdrom command.

My CDROM is flaky, but have a portable CDROM attached to a usb.

Here's the output of lsusb:
Code: Select allroot@home:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 04b3:310b IBM Corp. Red Wheel Mouse

[Code] ....

Here's the output of df:
Code: Select allroot@home:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1      464279312 4089292 436582932   1% /
udev               10240       0     10240   0% /dev
tmpfs            1619088    9132   1609956   1% /run
tmpfs            4047716     164   4047552   1% /dev/shm

[Code] ....

Here is my modified fstab:
Code: Select allroot@home:/etc# cat fstab
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

[Code] ....

Here is my configure file:
Code: Select allroot@home:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# cat config.usb.cdrom
Acquire::/dev/sr1::/media/bill;

Here is my command and output:
Code: Select allroot@home:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# apt-cdrom -d=/media/bill -c=config.usb.cdrom add
Using CD-ROM mount point /media/bill/
Unmounting CD-ROM...
Waiting for disc...
Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter

[Code] ....

There must be something simple that I have missed.

Debian :: Building Autofs5 With Configure Option?

Jan 28, 2011

I hope anyone of you can help me build autofs5_5.0.4-3.2_amd64.deb and autofs5-ldap_5.0.3-3_amd64.deb-packages with a modified source for debian testing. The trouble is, the packages from the repositories do not work with our ldap server. I know that using the configure option DISABLE_MOUNT_LOCKING might solve it. But I (a) fail to build the modules and (b) am not sure if I put the compile option in the right place. I dont have much experience with building deb packages, maybe someone can give me a hint.

Ubuntu :: Remount Cdrom With Unhide Option

Aug 16, 2010

I'm trying to install WoW on my Ubuntu machine and I'm having trouble right off the hop. I'm using an install DVD thru wine and it says since the Installer.exe is hidden I need to remount my drive with the unhide option on.

I'm following this guide [URL]

This is the part of the guide I'm getting stuck at

Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal:

sudo umount /dev/cdrom
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/

The unmount part works just fine but when I go to remount the drive it gives me this error:

mount: mount point /media/cdrom0/ does not exist

Ubuntu :: CDRom Not Mounting After Clicked 'Do Nothing' Option?

Aug 14, 2010

I have been burning a few CDs. When I inserted the blank CD I was queried what to set the default action as, and I selected 'Do Nothing'. The CDRom drive now does not attempt to read or mount anything inserted into it. It shows up in Nautilus under 'Computer', but does not appear to be mounted properly otherwise.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.

Software :: OS Install Via Pxe - No USB Boot Option And A Broken Scsi Cdrom Drive

Aug 12, 2010

I have successfully setup a FOG server to image my Windows clients, so I have tftp, pxe and anything else related to booting to a pxe server setup and rocking. What I'm trying to do now, is use the CentOS net install files to setup CentOS on an old server with no USB boot option, and a broken scsi cdrom drive (it's a Dell PowerEdge 2400, with a single PIII 733 and 1.25GB ram).

Using the FOG Projects gparted wiki entry (adding gparted to the pxe boot menu) I was actually successfully able to pull the net install files over to the PE, and install CentOS 5.5 via local ftp server. At first it kept erroring out (I kept picking and choosing individual packages from the package groups), so I thought it may be an issue with the GUI install (the python script kept spitting back errors forcing a reboot). In any case, I finally got through the GUI install, but now I need / want to know how to force a text mode install.

[Code]....

the bolded "append" line is where I thought I could force the text mode install script, but that didn't work. The vmlinuz and initrd.img files were both pulled form the net install iso, NOT the livecd. Would that have made a difference? If not, what / where / how should I force the text mode install script?

General :: Configure The Prompt But Don't Know What The Syntax Is Specifically Doing?

Oct 20, 2010

The following line is in the /etc/bashrc file. It's fedora 8. I know this is meant to configure the prompt but I don't know what the syntax is specifically doing.PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "33]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}07"'I think that 33 is the ASCII character for ESC but not sure what ]0 does or anything after the HOSTNAME variable. Are these xterm control characters? All of my Google search results fail to explain it in any kind of meaningful detail.

General :: How To Configure Grub (First Option WinXP)

Oct 29, 2009

I am running fedora 11 and I am configuring my menu.ist file. I attached the menu.ist file in txt extension. What I want is:

1- I want the first option to be Windows XP (which is on the second HD) and I want the text to be Windows XP instead of Other. This option should be the default (so if I didn't press anything it will boot from xp).
2- To remove the 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE kernel from the list and keep the 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586.img available as a second option.
3- Increase the countdown time to 10 seconds.

Debian :: DOS Era CDROM In Chinese Characters

Mar 19, 2016

This is to do with accessing Dos era CD rom under Linux.The characters in directory and file titles appear as "chinese".As I know that I've loaded and installed programs from these CD roms onto a Windows 2000 machine, I'm wondering why I can not read the file names now. They are definitely in English.I've research and found the mount -o "characterset" but I shouldn't need to do that as they are not foreign language CD roms.The only other thing I can think off is that they are both degraded, but I would not have expected that of commercial CD roms.

Debian :: Kernel - Any Way To Get Info For Each ISO CDROM?

Jan 24, 2010

There is lot of iso, and the kernel is the very important thing for the install since the hardware is depending, directly. Unfortunately kernels are changing and it could be interesting to have the information for each iso cdrom. I guess it might be somewhere but that's not so obvious and easy to find (never found where). Debian is cool, nicest distro ever !

Debian :: How To Set VIM (Highlight Syntax And So On)

I cannot find how to set VIM so that it higlight syntax (for exapmle bash scripts). I installed VIM package by using aptitude, but I dont have file .vimrc in my home directory. I found out that settings have to be written in this file. I can use command in VIM :"syntax on" but VIM shows syntax terrible. I think that is cause by some color setting.

Debian Installation :: Can't Open CDROM Drive While Installing VM 7.6

Oct 9, 2014

VirtualBox 4.3.14
Windows 7
Debian 7.6

I'm trying to create a new VM with Debian 7.6. I downloaded the 3 install iso discs and tried to install. When I begin the installation it seems to take control of the CDROM and I am no longer able to eject it by either pressing the eject button or trying to eject through Windows. The installation goes fine until it asks if I have any other discs to install (which I do ... I have 2 more). At this point I say "Yes" but I cannot get the CDROM to open up at all since it doesn't automatically eject for another disc and as I mentioned before ... I can't do it manually or in Windows.

- I cannot do an installation over the internet because this is a government computer which is requires to be hooked to a government network. There are certain certificates required to access the network which are not available to my newly made (or in the process of making) Linux system but rather only to my host Windows system.
- I cannot use a newer version of VirtualBox because that opens up a whole new set of issues dealing with WinVerifyTrust getting CERT_E_REVOCATION_FAILURE most likely due to our symantec security software.

So my Storage Settings in VirtualBox are as follows for my CDROM drive:
- Controller: IDE Controller
- Type: PIIX4
- "Use Host I/O Cache" is checked
- Host Drive D:
- CD/DVD Drive: IDE Secondary Master
- "Passthrough" is checked

I cannot install the Debian 7.6 OS because I cannot eject each disc and put in the next disc. The only way I can eject the disc is if I reboot my entire system (host windows system) which obviously leaves me at an unfinished point in my install and therefore I have to restart the install and end up right where I was 30 minutes earlier.

Debian Hardware :: New Desktop With Old Hard Drive - No More CDROM / DVD

Feb 28, 2016

The CDROM/DVD drive in the new computer was defective. Everything is working now.

My ancient Dell desktop finally kicked the bucket but the hard drive was relatively new (less than a year old).So I replaced that old desktop with a new desktop (not Dell this time) and decided to just plug in the old hard drive - to see what happens.Well, I was pleasantly surprised when Debian booted up and executed as normal (ok then, ALMOST normal)!

The problem is that the CDROM/DVD-RW is not recognized.For example, I have an audio CD in it, but neither file managers or multimedia players can see it (where 'it' is either the CD itself or the CDROM device).

I've tried GUI applications like mplayer, kplayer, Vlc, dolphin, pcmanfm; and I've tried the command line as well (bash).Short of doing a complete reinstall of Debian, is there a way to get it to recognize this 'new' hardware?

General :: SUSE 10 Syslog-ng Syntax - Bash: Syntax Error Near Unexpected Token "("

Apr 20, 2011

I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:

filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };

When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.

Debian Installation :: Attempt To Install From USB Fails To Detect Cdrom

Jan 31, 2016

I am attempting to install debian for the first time on my pc that has no cdrom drive. I downloaded the Jessie CD image and wrote it to a 4GB stick, it didnt work. Then tried the netinstall image but face the same issue.

To write the usb stick I used unetbooting first, then tried win32diskimager and finally tried DD while stick was not mounted

Code: Select alldd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdb BS=4MB; sync

Issue is still the same: I boot from the usb and after selecting language and keyboard it fails to detect cdrom drive (no drive at all in my pc). Same behavior using normal or expert mode.

Im also unable to manually specify the drive (it looks at /cdrom and I wanted to change it to the usb stick itself or mount usb to /cdrom but I cant find my stick in /dev)

Debian Configuration :: Postfix Bad IP Syntax Support

Apr 23, 2016

I have currently configured Postfix as an SMTP server. I would preferably not use a domain name in my email address, like so: myname@[1.2.3.4]

I'm currently testing to see how other mail servers handle this kind of address. When I sent a mail with one one of my gmail accounts, I see that the mail gets rejected due to bad syntax.

It seems as though Google is giving me a RCPT TO address like so: myname@1.2.3.4 However, the postfix server rejects this address with the following error:

501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax

To my best knowledge the only way to have an IP address inside an email address with to write it as a domain literal [1.2.3.4].

My question: how to configure postfix to accept myname@1.2.3.4 as well?

I have put both [1.2.3.4] and 1.2.3.4 in "mydestination" and 1.2.3.4 in "virtual_alias_domains".

It doesn't seem to work so far though.

Debian Configuration :: - Privoxy Default.action Syntax?

Sep 15, 2010

So I was reading this thread on internet privacy and decided to 'upgrade' my system. I installed privoxy and tor and chained them from squid so it looks like this: iceweasel >> squid >> privoxy >> tor. All is working well except when I go to edit my privoxy default.action file I get a fatal error. I've got version 3.0.9-1 The original line in the newly installed default.action file. #+hide-referer{forge}

I edited it by simply removing the #. +hide-referer{forge} Then:su -c '/etc/init.d/privoxy force-reload'And I get this in the logfile.Sep 14 16:41:36.260 Privoxy(7f4fa64756e0) Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/default.action': first needed line (361) is invalid: +hide-referer{forge} I've even copy/pasted from the manual and to no avail.Have I been looking at to much text for the last two days?What am I missing?

Debian :: No Double Click And Run Option

I have a custom LXDE installation with mostly the core applications. (Read my signature for a better picture.) Because it is custom I do not have the option to double click and run a Linux (not Windows) executable file. When I try to open the application it says choose an application to open it with. Do I have to install an application like gdebi (except for Linux executable) to be able to just double click and run it?
