virtualbox isn't able to start any virtual machine created or that was created previously
when I click Start, two pop-up boxes appear, saying:
VirtualBox error Failed to open a session for the virtual machine <name> The virtual machine <name> has terminated unexpectedly during startup on exit code 1.
I am running Sid. After a dist-upgrade, when I boot into a DE, trying to run applications doesn't work.
If I click on an icon, I see a "Starting <Application>" icon on the task bar and then it dies. If I try running Alt-F2 and then typing the name of the application, nothing happens.
I just upgraded one of my non-mission-critical servers to squeeze just to see how it would go. Since the upgrade NFS is broken. When I try to start it I get:
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdrpc.nfsd: unable to resolve ANYADDR:nfs to inet address: Servname not supported for ai_socktype
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd failed!
I've tried searching on those errors, but all I've found is that this has happened to others when no network interfaces are started; this is clearly not the case with this server, since other services are running and working on both interfaces.
I have installed squeeze base system (text only), nvidia graphic drivers and then installed xorg. Trying to startx gave me these errors on the console.

I am now for four weeks on Wheezy KDE after turning away from PCLinuxOS.But now that Jessie KDE is out, I installed it on a free 20 GB partition to have a look.What I really like is the following:
At start up on Wheezy GRUB MENU - INIT messages - KDE welcome screen -> desktop..I am missing those INIT messages. Gives me a good feeling for system status.I understand, we now have systemd, but is there a possibility to have those reassuring messages at startup and maybe also at shut down?
Deleted gnome completely after deciding on xfce.I am going directly to my login prompt on startup instead of going automatically into xfce desktop.What command do I use at startup to launch xfce? How do I get to go to xfce automatically on startup

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in

echo "Starting my application"

I use Terminator as my terminal and in the last couple of months, I need to either run
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/bin/terminator
or
symbolic link /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 to the above file
In order to have the application run without the error message: You need to install the python bindings for gobject, gtk and pango to run Terminator.
I have been using the symlink method for the most part, but when I run an apt upgrade, often the /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 symblink changes to point to /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6.5.0 and I have to manually re-link.
I have tried reinstalling gobject, gtk and pango packages for python but nothing has worked.
Can I start Debian and iceweacel without gnome.The idea I have is when I turn on my computer, only linux kernel and some moduls to be loaded, but not to be loaded gnome.So, when debian load, to appears only Iceweacel and nothing more.

I have some years experience of linux & programming, but I don't really know whats "under the hood" in a PC. I decided to learn. I have two hard drive disks in one of my computers, so I decided to see if I could run it with only one. I removed the voltage from one of the hard drive disks and when I booted, of course the cumputer gave me the message: "Disk failure, insert system disk and restart". When I reconnected the HDD in my computer and booted once again, I got the same message.
This brings me to my first question: Why can't I start my computer as usual after unplugging and replugging one of my two hard drive disks? All cables remains the same, what has changed? The first question remained unanswered and I tried to install a OS on one of the HDDs when the other was disconnected. This worked fine and I set up a windows/debian dual boot. Perfect! But after reconnecting the disconnected HDD I tried to do the same thing (so I would install a new version of the system I started out with, a windows/debian dual boot). I formatted and installed windows on one of my HDDs again. It was bootable.
When I installed debian and let the installer set up Grub, I got the message "Missing operating system" when booting. I tried to install only linux (without windows) and I reached the same resault: after unplugging and replugging one of my 2 HDDs I can no longer boot a debian operating system, though the installation runs without a problem. What has happened? What do I need to do to be able to install a working debian system on this computer? (installing windows works fine) Has the settings of my BIOS changed when I unplugged?
I just updated my computer, from Debian Lenny to Squeeze. I have to say, the upgrade did not go as smooth as I thought it would. First of all, every so often the upgrade process would prompt me for information about this and that. Since I'm not an IT person, I just try to select the default for everything. Nevertheless, it's definitely harder to upgrade then Ubuntu which does not prompt for too much and is totally graphical.
After all is said and done, a whole bunch of errors appear at startup. It seems though none of the errors or of any consequence. They say stuff like, this will be redundant in the future and so forth.
However there is one big item that does not work. It's the graphical user interface. I get an error about X. server being not available. I am using NVIDIA GeForce 2MX graphics card which requires NVIDIA legacy 96xx driver. I have updated or installed the 686 version of the kernel versus the default 486. However I cannot get the graphical user interface to start. Worst, without a graphical user interface, I cannot even browse the net and then copy and paste into the commandline.
Also, I have tried switching the X.org configuration file from nvidia to nv just try to make it work graphically, without success. Yes, the graphics were working fine with the NVIDIA driver before I upgraded to squeeze. I have checked out all the forums and tried reinstalling the NVIDIA driver without any success. Without a graphical user interface apt-get has no way of even telling me what packages are available to install.
Unfortunately I only minored in Computer Science, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and unfortunately I stopped using Linux after those classes. During this time I actually really got to like Linux (the class used Ubuntu but my friend who was majoring in it got Debian for me).
I only got a C in that class because like I said, it was something I minored in. Anyways, my main question is how do I install Debian on a USB (not a FAT32) so that if I move it from home to work or something, I can just boot up the USB and start using Debian on that computer (assuming it has something else like Windows for example)?
System: Debian 7 Wheezy amd64 - Gnome classic - gdm3
I'm trying to create a new gdm session in tty8, so I can switch between tty7 and tty8 running simultaneously.
How can I accomplish this? I found some website suggesting to run startx and also startx gnome-session -- :1 vt8 Both result in a black screen, blocking the overall system, not allowing me to go to tty1 nor any tty. I have to run REINSUB to restart the system.
# I don't know if tty is the exact term to refer to the CTRL+ALT+Fx virtual terminals.
I did try
Code: Select allmenuentry "Debian live 8.2.0 KDE" {
  insmod loopback
  insmod iso9660
  set isofile="/debian-live-8.2.0-i386-kde-desktop.iso"
  #recherche de la partition dans laquelle se trouve le fichier ISO et montage de celle ci dans "/"
  search -sf $isofile
[Code] ....
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg without success...
it goes with Ubuntu, Mint, Vinux, Trisquel (all last Ubuntu like ISOs at distrowatch) interchanging "live" through "casper" (3 time above).
what is the adequate Debian method?

If to open it from user terminal, it gives me:

The only thing comes to my mind is that right after installation I opened root terminal and:
- kept a tick on "remember password"
- put a tick on "save in the keyring".
I guess the last tick is the problem. I installed debian 8.4 in virtualbox and specifically kept the tick where it should be and I can start root terminal many times w/o any problem. How I can fix that?
I do realize that I can get root privileges in terminal. I guess it's more about convenience.

My room mate is trying to use an old Dell he has as a print server. After much twisting his arm, I was able to convince him to go with Debian, which, I would install. I used a 5.0.4 Net Install CD I had, and included Desktop Environment (he needs a GUI), and Print Server. Basically, as usually happens when I install Debian, I am having trouble getting X to work. Heres what the errors look like after X fails:

I have been trying to install Squeeze from the 6.0.1a KDE CD-1 plus the Debian repos. I just cannot get X to work. I get similar bad results to those mentioned by other users having similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes works.
Basic hardware information:
Desktop PC, whole 40 GB disk used for install
Graphics card: none Video controller on motherboard: VIA Technologies S3 UniChrome VGA controller (about 8 years old)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 1280 x 1024 (about 8 years old)
Some things I've already tried: in rescue mode, as root, in /etc/X11X -configuremove file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf basically everything mentioned in threads in past two months regarding users who cannot get X to work reinstalling 100x with every choice for the installer I can think of
What happens: when doing the install, contrary to expectation, I am never prompted for any of the hardware information which the documentation at debian.org says I should have on hand (is that a good sign or a bad sign?)
No matter how I try to do the install,I always seem to get a nongraphical installation, so I try this: as root:apt-get install xorg in /etc/X11X -configthen move generated file (which looks like X didn't try to create an actual configuration file) to /etc/X11/xorg.config as non-root user:startx I get black screen (or a tiny tiny konsole at upper left) and system hangs
How can I tell whether this an X misconfiguration? How can I fix it? How can I tell whether I simply need a driver? Where do I look? How can I tell whether my hardware is simply incompatible with Squeeze? What do I need to replace? Do I need to get a new monitor in order to use Squeeze? Do I need to buy a new motherboard with newer video controller? Do I need to buy a graphics card? Which?
