Debian :: Tablet Features For LMDE (Debian Testing), Fujitsu T4310?
Jul 4, 2011
I tend to stay on for long time. My machine is a Fujitsu T4310 tablet. I have got all tablet features previously working properly when I was on Isadora Mint. After installing LMDE to my surprise basic features of the tablet simply worked out of the box but I'm missing a few important features like multitouch, screen rotate and buttons in tablet mode.
As far as my experience with Isadora, it needed a driver called "fjbtndrv", but I couldn't find it in the repos, moreover, I think it might need some tweeks to get it behaving properly. I found some refferences but it refers to other ubuntu based distros, which I can't use of course.
p.s. prefere a solution other than compiling it myself, it looks scary and has lots of dependencies.

I try to install Debian Squeeze on that tablet PC. Lenny was running fine (even reinstall of Lenny works). The installation seems to run fine, too. The problem shows up after the first reboot of the system. After the first messages are displayed, the screen gets black and develops some vertical white lines that keep getting larger until they fill the complete screen. When I configure the BIOS for a second monitor, the external monitor works, I can log in. But this is at best a diagnosis option, not a solution. Ubuntu shows the same symptoms, btw. Here is the output of lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 04)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #1 (rev 02)

I am currently running Linux Mint Debian Edition (1 not the newly released 2). I am going to jump back to Debian testing shortly, and I'd love to avoid a fresh install. Whether I should upgrade to Stable before Testing, or just point the repos to testing and jump. Will it make any difference? If I hit a snag, I'll do the clean install.

I am a ubuntu user but I want to go to the next level to use debian because what I heard of it, but I get confused to what to install on my computer do I install debian testing or debain stable with testing repositories.
- I want to use this system to the home use only.
- I want to use the newest packages because the stable packages is too old to use.
- What about using more than one repository i.e stable with testing with unstable at the same time (the same sourcelist)
- Is the testing and unstable sid packages good enough for the home use?

What the hey??? I was looking to install Virtualbox via Synaptic the other day and I found a package with "~Ubuntu~lucid" next to the latest version. I have all confidence in the Mint team and I'm sure they scrutinized these packages for compatibility, but a little disclaimer would have been nice. I do not want any Ubuntu packages on my system. The least they could do was package the source code into a pure .deb.

I'm going to move from Linux Mint (Debian Edition) to Debian on my Laptop (3 user). The current setup is LMDE-Cinnamon, with 4 partitions; /, swap, home and data. All the important data lives in data while home is used for preferences only.
Am I right in thinking that preserving the data partition is as simple as not formatting it during the installation?
And what about home? Obviously this now contains a lot of irrelevant stuff (Cinnamon settings for example) and many programs will be in different versions...
- Just keep it (after all the irrelevant stuff should not do anything bad?)? And if so how do I tell the installer to do this?
- Format and restore the relevant preferences manually from the backup?
- Format and have everybody set up their preferences as needed?

I have a 16 GB Sandisk Cruzer Blade USB drive. My aim is to create a portable LMDE operating system. Both for the challenge and to spread the word amongst my friends. Just today, I've converted another mate with an old Dell with stand alone LM9 LTS. On another thread, I recieved a lot of help trying to use GRUB with no real progress other than finding out that needed someone with a lot more knowledge.
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=64335 bear with me for the long description of what I have done so far. I'm trying to avoid us doing things twice. I have used Startup Disk Creator in LM9 to set up my usb. There is still a problem with persistence. Creator uses casper and syslinux to boot. In setup, it gives the option of persistence up to 4 GB file or discard.
The progress window indicates it creates a persistence file. Everything seems to go smoothly to completion and reboot. The boot-up avoids the usual live dvd menu and goes all the way to the live desktop with install Mint shortcut. Change the keyboard to USA Colemak with CapsLock an additional backspace. Reboot the PC, no remove drive and enter request on shutdown, and back to live desktop. No Persistence. Reboot. I go to users and groups and create my own user desktop. Logout of Mint and into my desktop. Change keyboard settings and go to reboot. It wouldn't let me. Needed a root password. Back to the forums to change that. More research tells me that the program creates a seperate ext2 partition labelled casper-rw to generate persistence. Some sites have called it casper.rw Run GParted. dev/sdd- Sandisk 16GB- has a single FAT32 Partition sdd1. No casper-rw ext2 partition. Amongst other things I created the casper-rw and casper.rw partitions to help it along. No effect. I removed the pendrive, and booted up normally. Re-inserted the pendrive to determine the included files.First level-

Ubuntu is perfect for me, except that i have to dual boot sometimes to windows 7 for the one application that wont run in a virtual environment (LockDown Browser, and occasionally onenote). Except, i cant find tablet control features in Ubuntu, to change input devices (the touchscreen is awful, but I cant turn off the option to use finger as an input device. Also, when i boot to windows 7, the mouse track pad/left and right click doesn't work (they work in Ubuntu)? The keyboard does, and so does my stylus (which I have to use as a substitute)

recently i got a very old laptop fujitsu fmv-680mc4 with celeron 800Mhz cpu and 256m ram.so i throwed away the hell-slow xubuntu 10.04 and put debian lenny on that machine.
everything worked smoothly(even the gnome environment!but why xubuntu with xfce always suck my cpu to its fullest?),only touchscreen did not.I've also got a copy of windows xp running on it,and touchscreen worked fine there.It's really hard to find a clue about the hardware specification(outdated,maybe deleted on their official website),I even don't know the model of the touchscreen.The only information i know is that it has a PS/2 interface and comes with an identifier 'PNP0F13' (as M$ windows hardware manager says). i remember stock 2.6 kernel do support some lifebook touchscreens,with modules compiled into kernel.But when i run cat /dev/psaux and touch on screen nothing happened(when i move the trackpad it did output some binary codes),and i move on "cat" the whole /dev/input folder but no luck still. Then i tried to modprobe some touchscreen modules in,but failed,nothing comes out from dmesg.
the question is: is there a way to get it to work(seeing binary code flow out of my console is also considered as "working")?does it need some "initialize magic code" to be brought into ready state?

I have an harddisk which is old, since many years >10 years, and I recall I crashed few clusters using windows programs which were old and harddisk stuffs doing. So the pc lives with bad clusters, this pc lives very well since many years.Question, the pc has woody debian, which let us to install and exclude bad sectors during install. Bad clusters was an usual thing in the past, but today not anymore.Unfortunately debian squeeze installer coders had the good idea to remove the " bad cluster checking " before installing debian, during install (cdrom netinst).

I just installed the Debian testing release(with LXDE) from this week. Everything works great except the network card. I know the network card works because Windows and the Parted Magic Live cd recognize it. Also "lspci" seems to list the card, but when I fire "ifconfig -a" it is not listed there.

I just upgraded my sid install and after shutting down X I don't see any text on the console.
I can still type in commands so at least I can shutdown the computer, by typing in the commands blindly.
I've also noticed that my xserver keybindings have changed again, too
It's not self explainatory howto switch out of an xsession to the console.
I'm not quite sure if anything else has changed with this new set of drivers and I guess only time will tell.
So I'm hoping that the next xserver package updates will bring new features,functionality and foundation.

how, and if, I enable 3Dnow, and other CPU related features?
I'm not having any problems or anything to that effect. I am only curious. Is this something that's automatically done? Is this something I must do during compile and install of applications?
haunted@haunted-desktop:~$ sudo grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
If this is something I must enable manually per application, then for example, if I wanted it enabled for FlightGear, how would I go about doing that?

I was recently pushed back towards linux after spending nearly a decade in a windows only environment and I'm finding myself struggling. The reason for the change is that we purchased Kaspersky and the mail gateway is only available under linux. They advised Debian and Exim.
The crux of the problem is that I have a working debian server running with exim4 and kaspersky to act as a gateway mail server but it's not checking inbound mail against the internal servers address list. For this I need to add ldap support to the exim package but I'm not sure how to do this - it seems silly that I should have to start over at this stage.
Full details:= I didn't have too much trouble installing and configuring a debian 64bit server for our network, adding exim4 and getting it all set up to work, then several weeks of hot fix releases and "oh, it shouldn't do that" passed as we attempted to get the Kaspersky software operating properly. During that time I learned that the kaspersky software does not provide a function to check inbound emails against the internal server. Previously we did this with an LDAP lookup under the Sophos Puremessage software that Kaspersky replaced. Without this function the MTA sends out a lot of backscatter that results in the server being put on blocklists and that effects business. Kaspersky tell me this is something I need to set the MTA software (exim4) to do so I've looked that up and it appears that step 1 is to install exim with ldap support... but I've already installed and configured exim without ldap support. So I'm not sure if I have to start over by removing exim, install over the top or what. Also if I do add ldap support or install exim-heavy over what I have will I need to reconfigure everything I've done so far?
as I said, it's been 10 years since I used linux and even then it was fairly basic sendmail and apache stuff.

I am testing LXDE on my test-laptop and it looks quite nice and fast. I am thinking of switching DE from Gnome.
My question: are there features in Gnome that are missing in LXDE? I can not think of any, so far. The only thing I miss so far is a possibility to edit the menu, as the menu is huge

I've heard a lot of talk about people running 'Testing' as a rolling release version of Debian. As I have a spare box to play with, I wanted to see what this was like. I've done a minimal install of Squeeze and had a look at /etc/apt/sources.list. As I would expect, the file refers to Squeeze and not 'testing' (I think Woody used to go for stable/ testing etc, but this then got changed). In order to run 'Testing', can I just replace the Squeeze references and do:
