Debian :: Install The Proprietary Software On A Lenny (x86_64) System?
Feb 5, 2011
Using - http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary - i am trying to install the proprietary software on a Lenny (x86_64) system. I am getting an error when i enter one of the commands from the wiki above.
When i enter: # aptitude update && aptitude install fglrx-modules-2.6-$(uname -r | sed 's,.*-,,') fglrx-control fglrx-driver
I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
[Code]...
I am not sure how to circumvent this & was wondering if anyone here would be able to point me in the direction of a workaround or solution? To whoever responds,

I'm having an issue where the proprietary nvidia driver seems to crash my system. the weird thing is that it only happens if i have already started an X session. here is what i mean. i don't use a display manager so i invoke X by running startx. now if i run it for the first time it starts no problem. but if i kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace and then try to run startx again it just hangs and the machine completely freezes up. this only happens with the proprietary nvidia driver. if i use the vesa driver it works fine. the open-source nvidia driver doesn't seem to support my card: GeForce GT220. i never had this problem with slackware 13 x86. i have tried using the 190.42 version from slackbuilds.org as well as the latest version from nvidia's site 190.53. aside from this problem it seems to work fine otherwise.

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

How can i install it? Which version of Catalyst is better to use? I know that Catalyst 9.3 is the latest version, which has full support of ati x1250, in later drivers my video-card is "legacy". I'm searching for a long period of time and can't find the answer... may be it is impossible to install suitable Catalyst for my ati on lenny and it is better to use older Debian? And if Yes, then which one?

I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot.
I get this message:
I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer.

I just installed HPLIP using Synaptic package manager. One of the configure parameters (shown by 'hp-check -r') is
Code:
Am I correct in assuming that this means that a network printer will not work? Is there a way to override this while still using synaptic package manager? Would I then be able to use a network printer?
I have my eye on the HP photosmart plus B209A - and it looks like HPLIP supports it (there is a ppd file for it).

I'm running succesfully Debian 6.0 after first trying Debian 5.0 and ran into missing partitions. This is solved by using Debian 6.0 (Beta 2).
Now it's NVidia's turn: Under Ubuntu (yes...i know it by now...) you had to install a proprietary driver for NVidia to ensure that 3D was supported. What about Debian? There's nothing like this under Debian? How do i know if 3D is supported?

I've already went through the regular process of installation, adding the backports repository and doing the debian way installation, but somehow the system isn't assuming the plugin.
I've rebooted the web browser and even the entire system, but still the plugin does not work.

I understand that FireFox requires GTK+. It appears that lenny did not include this package. Being new to Linux, I am unsure of just what it is that I need to do. Most of the web searches that I have doen have only confused me that much more.
So, how to get and install GTK+ on lenny?

I need to install gettext on my machine, so I use synaptic to install but it give the following error
gettext:
Depends: libc6 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgomp1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gettext-base but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: curl but it is not going to be installed or
wget but it is not going to be installed or
lynx but it is not installable
So I check libc6 which is install as libc6-dev other libc6 files such as xen, are high highlighted in red.
libgomp1 is installed.
gettext-base is installed.
curl will not allow itself to install as it says it needs libc6 (which is installed see above) lots of other curl files are highlighted red, with x's next to them, to remove. However the apply button is not highlighted?

Today I installed Lenny on a new server. The server didn't have any CD-Rom, so I tried putting the net install on a memory stick using unetbootin. The install went fine, but the problem was that the memory stick became sda and two SATA disks in the server became sdb and sdc.When I then tried to remove the stick, the SATA disks became sda and sdb, and it would not boot, because it had written the MBR on the stick.It hurried a little bit, so I had to take out a CD player from another computer, and connect it inside the server to get Lenny installed.But it would be cool if it was possible to install with the stick. And no more waste of CD-Rom players that will be used only once.

I've been working with Debian and it's variants(Ubuntu, Mint) for about 2 years now. I'm bored at work and got to thinking that as much as I know about Linux now compared to when I started(enough --> none), I can always learn more. I notice I learn more by doing than by reading like many others and like a hands on approach, and if I screw something up, even better as I can learn from that mistake not just what happens but why it happens and how it can be avoided.
Anyways, I was installing Lenny on a VM and was going through the install options and was playing with an ssh install when I thought I might be able to install totally from the command line. I'd be surprised if I couldn't, and while I realize it's probably not the easiest thing to do, what have I got to lose? I managed to get as far as the shell but then i'm sort of at a loss. I think I have all the pieces(load components from media, configure packages, partition, install) but I can't really put them together. how do I go about, if at all, installing from the shell? I figure if I can do this i'll learn quite a bit more about the install process and can help myself out down the road if I'm not reliant on the hand-holding gui install.

After successfully installing Debian 5.0 stable from a CD, I noticed that there wasn't any sound. I unmuted the volume in Debian itself and there still wasn't any sound! I ran alsaconf and it came up as a VIA VT8233/A/8 sound card.

I guess I am still a beginner since I can't do this. I was able to install Java in another computer successfully. I have both running now. The successful one, had a folder for firefox the one with the problem does not have that folder, (firefox). The instuctions I trying to follow are here: [URL]
Not having a firefox folder I installed using /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin . But the plugin has an X attached to the respective icon in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
[URL] This website seems to offer the solution to my problem, I will need help in undoing my previous steps or in removing the incorrect plugin. But will I still need a firefox folder or directory as I have on the other machine? I have a K7S5A PRO MB and Athlon Xp 1800 + processor.
