Debian :: Gui Interface Did'nt Come Up When I Installed Debian?
Mar 3, 2011
I just switched over from ubuntu/mint and debian is a little bit tougher for me. I installed the debian cd net iso onto my hard drive with the graphical installer. then I restarted the machine and debian began loading, but only a command prompt came up that ask me to login so I did and still no gui interface.
I installed Firestarter firewall on debian Squeeze.Now i note there is a gui available in System->Administration which apparently does not need to be running all the time - its not set up to start on boot.When I boot I notice the boot message has a line saying "Starting Firestarter firewall .... failed"When I am logged in and type "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" as the Firestarter FAQs say, I get"Firestarter is running... ... (warning)"I can run the gui manually and still same message.
I have a problem with one a server installed with Debian 3.1, that is restarting almost every day at the same hour, 6,25 AM. Here are the messages obtained with #cerberus:/etc# grep -C 5 restart /var/log/messages
.....missing displays....
.....missing displays....
.....missing displays....
As I said, there are days when the system is not restarting, but more often it does. For example, on 6th and 8th October it didn't restart, but on 7th it did, and the messages are the same.
I have multi media on my sources list. Apt-get updates it. the sig is not confirmed because I can't get the key (the .deb is on my Desktop) to install.I used the directions on the website to no avail.
i just installed debian (or atleast i think i did) and when i start the computer up it will ask for my username and password but when i log in there is not gui desktop, how do i get it, or do i have to install it seperatelyi know there isn't an xwin server installed on it, is that the problemi hate verbose installation, freebsd is giving me the same thing, whenever i finish installing everything, and i went through the on screen instruction carefully, there isn't any desktop showing just a command prompt,
i just installed debian on my neighbors computer and all the installation processes went A okay until i booted into the desktop, for some strange reason there are no menus (the bars at the top and bottom) whats going on here how do i get the menus up
well i am doing an assignment about debian OS 5 . so i need some info about Deadlocks and how to kill a process using GUI interface . i already found a way to do it in Command line .
I have a Debian 7 wheezy installation of Proxmox installed using this tutorial [URL] .....
Everything has gone fine up to the point of booting from pve.
Then at the point it says :
Connect to the Proxmox VE web interface
Connect to the admin web interface (https://I put my address here :8006) and configure the vmbr0 and review all other settings, finally reboot to check if everything is running as expected.
When I try to navigate to the Proxmox GUI it comes back as page not available.
I have dsl broadband shared through a Modem Bridge Mode forwarded to wireless router which is configured for dhcp lease to the clients(1 Desktop, 1 Laptop).
So, in My Debian Testing Desktop, I have following lines in /etc/network/interfaces :
Code: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
After installing Debian Squeeze, which packages should one install to enable a Chinese interface besides the usual English interface? Is this applicable to both Gnome and KDE ?
I'm renting a server which comes with 5 IP addresses, but only one network device. From what I can understand I'm able to create aliases by adding entries to /etc/networks/interfaces, I haven't tried I'm in the planning stages. Hypothetically, 192.168.22.30 is my primary IP and I want to set eth0:1 to have 192.168.22.31, and then after that I want to create a virtual machine (using kvm/qemu) that is able to communicate bidirectionally to the internet over eth0:1, and leave eth0 strictly for administrating (not for VM traffic).
The qemu guides I'm finding seem to assume that I want to use TAP or VDE, what I want to use is a sub-ip/alias. One guide I saw had me eliminate everything from eth0 and put it under br0. That would leave me unable to ssh into my server (and unable to administrate). Is there a way I can do something along the lines of: qemu [options] -net [option] -netdev=eth0:1 ?
Is is possible, via iptables or something similar, to bind a service running on a specific port to a specific interface? My case: I use a VPN service for privacy. I would like to have all traffic except ftp and ssh to run over tun0. Ports 21 and 22 will need to be accessible to the outside world (eth0) while the VPN is running.
I have a Debian computer with 2 network interfaces. Ath0 for wifi and eth0 for cable. They're configured as dhcp and are getting their ip from different routers. When I shut down one of the router, it takes 5 minutes for the ip address to "Go away". I would like this to take a shorter time. I figured it must be a setting, but my attempts so far have been unsuccessfull. Is there a way to do this?
downloaded the latest firefox and put it in /opt, it runs ok but the interface is missing icons, like the back and forward buttons, refresh, the x on the tabs, the + for a new tab, and others. iceweasel is fine. anyone seen this or know where or how to fix it?
I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.
Yesterday I installed debian squeeze and inside appearance preferences there are: theme, background and fonts tabs but the interface tab is missing. What do I need to install in order to have this missing tab?
I made a basic installation of Debian on my Power Mac G4. It worked well, but now, when I start up, after introducing my password, I have something like this
myname@debian:~$
What shall I do now? I hoped for a graphical interface...
After updating and subsequently restarting today, I can no longer bring up my wireless interface:
ifup wlan0 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 Failed to bring up wlan0
iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0IEEE 802.11abg ESSID: off/any Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-AssociatedTx-Power=off Retry long limit:7RTS thr: offFragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off
Suppose I have both a hardwired and a wireless network connection active on the same system at the same time. Can I tell my browser which one to use? Can I tell other programs which one to use? Or do they choose for themselves> Or does some automatic system protocol select which one to use for them?
Is there a way to enable a web interface to access openssh-server on my vps incase i'm on a network that does not permit outbound port tcp 22 or any other port of my choosing?

I am wanting some pointers/direction as to how I could run a administrative web service on our debian box to facilitate the management of the debian server (ie, creating iptable rules, modifying interface parameters, viewing dhcp leases).
I'm trying to replace an existing redhat server on our network which is performing as a gateway (unfortunately not meeting our needs) and this has a web-based management. It appears to be running 'asp' pages but these pages provide me no leads as to how it actually modifies the server's conf files.
I have just installed debian-live-8.3.0-i386-lxde on my old hp530 32-bit laptop
Everything went well but every time I start my laptop I get following message which lasts for approx 1m 20s ...
Code: Select allLoading, please wait... fsck from util-linux 2.25.2 fsck error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/sda1 fsck exited with status code 8 [ 13.941532] systemd-fsck[145]: DEBIAN8: clean,140919/640848 files, 978992/2560942 blocks [ ***]A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces. (1min 20s / no limit) with the 3 asterisks above moving back and forth.
... then it boots OK into operating system. so apart from the delay everything is working ok.
