Debian :: Get Past The Message During Upgrade?
Oct 30, 2010
This is probably a pretty basic question - a little embarrassing because I am not totally new to Debian. I am installing Squeeze on my Acer netbook. I am using an iso image that is a few months old, so once the system was installed I ran aptitude update and upgrade which fetched a lot of upgrades. During the install a message pops up regarding initramfs-tools that states: To improve boot speed and avoid some complications, video drivers are no longer included in intramfs by default (MODULES=most). --maximillian attems <max@deian.org> Mon, 05 Apr 2010 /tmp/tmpvNAm1I (END)My really embarrassing question is: How do I get past this message and proceed with installation of the files? I know I've had to contend with this in past, but for some reason I am drawing a blank on how to exit this message

In trying to use jigdo-lite for downloading, I cannot get past the instruction to specify a number. After I enter jigdo-lite asks for a number. What number? The image I am looking for is 6.0.0-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso. Couldn't find any number associated with it except the "1", which does not work

I recently reduced my /home by shrinking the LV and creating a new FS on /home. By this I deleted all data in /home of course, which is no problem. Though when I start Icedove now, I can't get past the welcome screen.
There is an input field to search for a provider for a new free mail account and 2 more buttons to either use an existing account or skip the whole wizard.
No matter what I enter or what button I press, the welcome wizard window stays put. Nothing works. Clicking the buttons turns them dark for the moment but nothing happens.
I did a Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure on the package, have removed Icedove with apt's purge option, deleted the cached installation .deb etc., did an autoclean and so on... but no way to get past this welcome wizard at the startup.
The only way to get out there is to kill the process.

I've been a Linux user for 11 years. I'm not new to the ways of live cd's. I am unable to get past the logon screen in Debian Live.
I have tried "live" for the user name without a password - and with root as a password. NOTHING I've tried works.
Anybody got an idea?

Is it possible to do an aptitude remove for all packages installed in, say, the past hour? I'm looking for an easy way to keep track of lots of installed packages without having to look through the logs and write them all down.

Was running Server 8.04 with graphical desktop - no problems. Wanted to upgrade to 10.04, so ran sudo do-release-upgrade --proposed
Upgrade was successful (although so much stuff scrolled by, it's hard to tell if something errored along the way).
Server rebooted and a dark maroon screen said 10.4 is booting, ntp service started etc. and a scrolling series of dots.
Then got a sky blue patterned login screen, so I logged in. Screen then went black, with a movable mouse pointer.
If I do Alt-Tab a panel pops up saying ** NO WINDOWS **
Using Ctrl-Alt-F1 (iirc) got me a command prompt, so I logged in there and ran: startx
This gives me the message:
Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
So checked runlevel (who -r) and that was set to 2. Changed /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf so RUNLEVEL=5
Rebooted, logged in again, still got black screen + mouse, and **NO WINDOWS**. Logged into terminal and runlevel=5.
Also tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that returns immediately without anything apparently happening(?).
how I can get my KDE graphical environment back up ?

I recently upgraded to lucid. During the upgrade, I got a message about Glade being incompatible(?) and clicked ok. It was uninstalled with several dozen packages.
I would really like to get it back. Is there a compatibility issue with Glade and 10.4?

I got a notification that there was an upgrade available today in ubuntu 9.10 64, after the update i restarted my system and while booting i encountered this error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (8,17)
does this have something to do with the OS looking at the wrong hd?
theres no command prompt to actually do anything and i tried booting in safe mode and had the same problem. Let me know what i can do!

I was about to do upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4.I was following the guide I found in opensuse's website. I was to the point where I had to disable all 11.3 repositories and add the 11.4 at that point I forgot to change my nvidia repository ( I have a g210m graphic card).
thus after the upgrade the X could not start at all. I think this was because Yast could not find the nvidia driver.
Using text mode YaSt2 I added the nvidia driver but after restart I can not see and X running. I receive an error message that the current kernel can not be loaded!!!
I also checked in command line if there is something like Sax2.. but I couldnot find anything.

I have been trying to send some messages from my Debian GNU/Linux to my Canaima GNU/Linux, i have tried with write: write user@host
But it says user is not logged in, apparently the write daemon have to be running in both machines to do this.
And i wanted to use talk, but i should install it in both machines ¿?
The thing is that i have like 10 machines i wanted to send messages to, but i cant find an easy way to do this.
Is there any other way i am missing? or it has to be the "hard" way

I've just recently installed Debian on my laptop and I'm currently having problems with an occasional white flickering at the top of my screen.
I want to rule out whether this is a driver issue since at boot, just before the GUI pops up, I get a handful of error messages complaining about missing firmware.
So my first problem is rather simple: I'd like to actually read these messages in full but I cannot find them in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/dmesg.

I just got Squeeze loaded on computer and getting several error message during boot up. Something about 368623 and 368761 PCI Bar 6 collision. This is a first for me on Debian OS. It happens so fast I can barely write it down. Is there a log I can access to see the entire entry?

My computer: 3 year old cheapish box, Gigabyte board with onboard video and sound. Cat5 cabled to Linksys wired router to a cable modem. Debian 6.0 Stable. Network installation.
This didn't happen from the initial installation but I now get an error message each time I get the updates.
I first see the red update notification icon top right of Gnome desktop. I click on it, enter root password at prompt. Click the install updates button on the update manager window. The software progress bars show me the download progress but then I get the following errors.
An error has occurred and installing has been aborted. Error Message: subprocess installed post installation script returned error exit status 1
Error message: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.
I cancel the messages. The notification icon then turns to the reboot icon. If I start the update manager again from the System menu it shows me that my system is up to date, so I suspect the update has taken place. But why am I getting the error messages. This now happens every time I see the new updates icon. Apart from that everything works fine.
I include my source list in case this helps.

There is a notifications-daemon, which shows sometimes infos like "5 updates, 5 security issues". It is represented by "i" in the system tray bar.Unfortunately, I cannot read the whole text of the messages there. I tried to click on it, right click, drag and what ever...Right now I have a line there "In order to complete this upgrade,...". And I cannot read it completely. How do I work with these notifications? Btw, KDE is running.

I'm on Debian 6.0
and 4 TB of HDD
Compaq Presario 9000
My problem is all of a sudden get a message on deleting files that the trashcan has reached its full capacity and needs to be emptied manually. After emptying the trashcan in Dolphin I still can't delete the files I want and get the same message again and again. I have shut down the computer before, but today that didn't seem to help at all. Also it seems a bit drastic to shut down the machine everytime this happens. Is there perhaps another 'manual' way of emptying the trashcan? I have found a post recommending to rm -in my case- the directory in question in the terminal, which worked, but it doesn't solve the trashcan problem.

I need to display a message before any login on a Linux box, either locally and for remote login via SSH. How can I achieve this? "issue" and "Banner" are the two concepts I need to use to provide a message for every user before they log into the system.

Any time I watch a screencast dealing with notifications, there are always multiple of them on the screen. But when I have a program that uses them it always just allows one at a time.

I installed Mono on Debian 8 using apt-get. Specifically, I followed these instructions: [URL]..
Then suddenly, my entire machine locked up . . . I gave it a few minutes and then cold booted. It came up to a login prompt but no gnome. sigh. So, I use apt-get to uninstall all of the mono stuff and I also did apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, apt-get autoremove . . . and rebooted . . . to a login prompt.
So, I installed gnome using apt-get install gnome-core and then after a reboot I got gnome again.
However, every time I log in, I see an "Oops" message flash briefly and then the GUI loads. Everything seems to be ok . . . but I don't like seeing that message; it says something like "something went wrong, please log out . . ."
I kind of dug around /var/logs a little and there are some error messages in kern.log files . . . how I can get my machine back to the state it was in, i.e., not flashing an Oops message when I authenticate?

I'm getting the following message when attempting to install or upgrade a package. Not sure if it's a bug or not, which is why I'm hesitating to file it as a bug.
For example (note line /bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/apt-listdifferences: not found):

The following NEW packages will be installed:
