I am trying to upgrade a server I was put in charge of and keep running into a loop of errors.
uname -r 2.6.11.12
When I do apt-get -f install I get the error: WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 2.6.18 or later. upgrade your kernel before installing glibc.
Then when I try installing the kernel I get the error: You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies
I have just started to work with BeagleBoard and built the Linux kernel (version 2.6.30.5) and download to the board and it start. I have also connected to the board over serial to Putty terminal.
Now I want to connect to the Beagle Board using USB instead of serial and I am looking for some info on how to do this.
My goal would be to connect to board over USB and then be able to: * Download my own binary files/programs from PC over USB to BeagleBoard * Communicate over USB instead of UART/Putty to get log and execute commands
Question: How do I build the Linux kernel with USB support, meaning what settings should be ticked in menuconfig? Or is it already included?
How do I enable USB OTG in menu config?
I assume I would need some driver on my PC with Windows XP to connect to my BeagleBoard over USB. Were can I find this USB driver?
I am trying to install atheros AR5007EG on my toshiba laptop -i figured out that best way to install this wireless card is through madwifi -while configuring madwifi i get this error
I am posting the output of different commands so you can understand better -i manually tried to link the build directories to kernel-source which failed - i am not sure exactly what kernel source is and how i can link to kernel source -
i'm using this guide videos - howto: debian linux kernel compilation, part 1 and the author says i need kernel 2.6.26 this version of kernel doesnt longer exist in kernel.org website and the only 2.6.26 i found is a patch here. should i use the patch? or download another version of kernel?
i'm can't install the g++ compiler. I've got the packages to install with the command "dpkg -i xxxx.deb", but i see a cross dependence between g++-4.3 and libstdc++6-4.3-dev. Or am I missing something?
seems like after a recent upgrade of stretch, i get a message (in italian)

I usually install chromium from the frickelpatz repo. On one previous update I noticed that other packages that had not been installed from frickelpatz were updated with packages from there (i guess frickel had a higher version number - k3b i think the package was). So I would like to see what other packages it offers so I am aware of which packages are at risk. failing that is there a way to tell apt that i only want to use the repo for chromium and its dependencies?
I'm hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out (and find any information on) how to download a package and all its dependencies.I've tried to clean the cache,$ sudo apt-get clean and then download a package and its depednencies,but it doesn't download dependencies that are already installed.I need to do this to install a package on a machine that doesn't see the net.I remember doing this somehow ages ago, and I think I might have even combined the package and its dependencies into a single self-contained .deb using dpkg.
I have downloaded d4x download manager program but I do not know its dpendencies. I tried to install the single deb file with "Gdebi Package installer" but it showed an error of dependency. I downloaded that file too which itself could not be installed due to the same problem. The method of one by one file downloading was exhausting. Is there any program that accepts "d4x_2.5.7.1-5_amd64.deb" as input and givres me a full list of dependencies that must be saitisfied proior to installing the program with a single click? I want to give that list to a download manager.
I'm using Debian Stable and I followed the instructions from Debian Mozilla team [URL] on how to install the latest stable version of Iceweasel, but after I try to upgrade Iceweasel from Synaptic, it returns the following error message: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.
Iceweasel:
Depends: xulrunner-5.0 but it is not going to be installed
So I am trying to build a package from source in scratch box (for a debian based ARM distro) and I ran apt-get build-dep <package name> and it spits back the general E: Build-dependencies could not be satisfied. - is there an extra flag I could add the the apt-get command so it would show me which packages it cannot find so I can hunt them down by hand?
We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,
After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

I installed Debian 6.0.1.a on Friday, but the problem is that installing xfce installed a few packages that have nothing to do with it, like Brasero and metacity. I'm using the xfwm but why were these extra packages installed? All I installed at the time were wicd, gdebi, xorg and xfce4. Everything is working fine...but why the extra bits?
I'm trying to install debian in my surface pro but I can't get the network card configured. I installed Arch before and it's wpa_supplicant package was working just fine until the last update. I was wondering if I could download the wpa_supplicant for debian and all it's dependencies from my windows OS to be able to configure my wireless card properly in Debian.
I have had this problem repeatedly with aptitude recently. I run Debian Squeeze but in a somewhat unusual fashion - I create a custom live image using the builder on the Debian Live website and then run the live image in persistent mode off a flash drive. For all intents and purposes this has never behaved any differently from a standard Debian install and has given me a great deal of flexibility and power, for which I'm grateful.
However there's been one strange phenomenon that keeps occurring. After a certain point - not before - aptitude stops removing dependencies when I remove packages, though in the ncurses interface the option is shown as switched on (and my .aptitude/config file does not switch it off, nor does any other configuration file that I can find, though maybe I'm missing something). This occurs even in the case of dependencies which I know cannot be depended upon by any other package. e.g. the e17 package in unstable brings in libecore, libevas etc. which are depended on only by e17 as I have no other Enlightenment packages installed. But removing e17 removes only the e17 package and not the dependencies.
The other odd thing is that this does not occur at first. Aptitude works fine for a while on a clean system. At some point though it simply changes in behaviour.
Lets say that I want to compile a program that is in the unstable repository and I have testing (or also if I am using stable and want to compile something from testing), I know that I have to put the deb-src repository line of the repository from which I want to obtain the build dependencies by ussing apt-get build-dep packagename but my question is: what if it's not in the repositories at all? How does one go about obtaining these dependencies?
I don't know much about this topic but I know how to use dh-make with dh_make --createorig and I also know how to do dpkg-buildpackage but not more than that.
I've installed Debian6 Testing KDE4 using a net-inst CD when it is recently released. Today , I did a aptitude clean && aptitude update && aptitude upgrade and got a weird output. aptitude clean && aptitude update ... ... Current status: 62 updates [+61], 1561 new [+270]. There are 7 newly obsolete packages: librasqal2, libwpd8c2a, libwpg-0.1-1, libwps-0.1-1, openoffice.org-base-core, openoffice.org-core, openoffice.org-report-builder-bin aptitude upgrade Resolving dependencies... open: 42543; closed: 32760; defer: 49; conflict: 8 The open/closed figures is still running (higher) after 10 minutes. Believe I am not the only one using Debian Testing with KDE4.
I did a compile and checkinstall of a Debian package (and then deleted the temporary directory tree I compiled in), and had to redo the compile and checkinstall since I screwed up on the dependencies (I think it's item #10) on the checkinstall "menu".
Looking for a quick and dirty shortcut, I was wondering where the post-install dependencies for the packages are stored. Is it in /var/lib/dpkg/status ?
If not, where is the dependency information for installed packages stored?
So I am trying to do a Ruby on Rails install on a Debian OS. It is proving most difficult. There isn't much help from Google since RubyGems is supposed to resolve dependencies for you, so you can just type "gem install rails" and it will install everything you need. But as it turns out, RubyGems doesn't want do. It keeps getting stuck on either the "rack" or "rake" dependencies saying it needs to either be installed or updated when it is there and has a new enough of a version. I even tried this as root and it didn't work.
I'm running debian testing on my laptop. This morning when I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, I was greeted by the following errors:
Code: Select all
Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl3-gnutls : Depends: librtmp1 (>= 2.4+20131018.git79459a2-3~) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
A quick search found out that package librtmp1(2:2.4~20150315.gita107cef9b-dmo1) is already installed.
I do have some packages set on hold, however I don't think that's the problem:

I have been using linux for about a year and have run into a new problem I am unable to solve. It started when I attempted to install some packages I needed to get VirtualBox to run VMs. I am on Jessie.
I am unable to install various packages, including gedit, aptitude etc. I do not think it is a problem with my sources.list as my laptop has the same sources.list and I am not encountering the same problems on it. Packages will not install any dependencies. -f install isn't doing anything for me.
My sources.list...

I have copied lib/libIsles64.a into lib/libIsles.a and done
Code: Select all sudo make cleanall
from the main folder. When I write
Code: Select allsudo make
I receive the error
In file included from src/Interface/neBEMinterface.c:20:0: include/Isles.h:14:29: fatal error: gsl/gsl_complex.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
I have an issue with packages. When I try to install any package then I receive error like this one below. e.g. install Lynx:
Code: # apt-get -f install lynx Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libperl5.10: Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.0-19lenny3) but 5.10.0-19lenny2 is to be installed libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed lynx: Depends: lynx-cur (>= 2.8.7dev9-2.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So I decided to remove libperl5.10 which apparently mess. But its not that easy, just take a look:
Code: # apt-get --purge remove libperl5.10 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsnmp15: Depends: libsnmp-base (>= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). ...and now I don't know what to do ?
I am running a video script on my server and I am very new to running a dedicated server and commands. Most of our site was setup but other and someone has broke something and no one seems to know how to fix.
Here is the issue. We run a script that uses these requirements
[Mod edit]Adult content Link removed
requirements
Now our server guy ran a update inside webmin for debian and now our videos still convert but wont make thumbs. Here is what he did.
Now updating libsmbclient ..
Now the AVS script wont make thumbs and webmin still wants to do 3 more updates that get unmet dependencies errors. Here they are when we try to run another update.
Building complete list of updates ..
Now what we need to do is either undo the update he already did or maybe get the one its asking for now to work but not sure which one will fix our thumb generating problem? Here is the error in the log file of the AVS script.
