View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Install Gnome From USB
Apr 27, 2015Software: Debian Wheezy (minimal base system)
Hardware: Dell Optiplex GX620, 360GB SATA HDD, Ralink NIC (driver installed), I forget the graphics card.
Primary concern: Installing Gnome 3 from a USB.
Secondary concern: I can't establish a connection to the internet via ethernet or my Wifi card. When I try Code: Select allping -c 3 www.google.com the output tells me 3 packages were transmitted and 0 were received. It seems to have something to do with my router (Arris) not being DHCP-endabled?
I'm currently reading a couple of books to try and learn how to use CLIs with Linux but I am still new and largely ignorant of how to do anything. I tried messing with Arch, that didn't work very well. I've been googling these issues but I can't figure anything out or find anything relevant. I've been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and have a basic understanding of Linux and I'm working on a basic understanding of computers.
As far as getting a .deb package onto a usb of Gnome or whatever desktop environment goes I think I can manage that by myself. I just have no clue how to actually install something from a USB, especially from a command line interface.
Debian :: Apt-get Cannot Install Gnome Or Anything Else?
Jan 1, 2010I wanted to try out another distro of linux since I am a big fan of Ubuntu. I've only been using Ubuntu for a year now but still kinda new to true linux distros.Anyways my problem is actually concerning Xebian, a modified stripped down customized version of Debian for the original xbox. It is basically Debian but configured differently and repackaged, it still uses Debian.org repos.More info found on: Code: xbox-linux.org/wiki/Xebian_HOWTO After successfully installing Xebian to my xbox, I wanted to change the current desktop (not really sure what it is but it lacks a gui file explorer) to Gnome.
I run as root: Code: apt-get install gnome It takes about 2hrs to install but then as its doing it it removes vital packages such as x11-common, Xfree86, xorg-server. Then it cannot install anything else and whenever I try to run another apt-get install command to install say gdm, it says it depends on some of these packages but it is not going to install it. Also I find that gnome is not installed. So basically it removes vital packages, screws up the system and doesn't install what I wanted.So I reboot but then it cannot boot again into any gui desktop. I try apt-get but I cannot install anything like before. I need apt-get to really start using my computer/xbox.I found something that fixes the error that says I am unable to connect to non-us.debian.org when I run an apt-get update but I can't find the page:
Anyways that doesn't work, I've also found these links that seem promising which I will try tomorrow: Code: forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=680973

Debian :: No GUI Log In Or Gnome On New Install 6.0.1?
Apr 29, 2011This is a new system with Intel 3.2 E5800, Biostar c31m+ MB and Sparkle PCIe2.0 video card with Nvidia Geforce 210 chipset.As expected I did not have GUI after install, so I did as in the past as follows with other systems with nvidia chipsets.I inserted "nomodeset" in appropriate place in grub. Installed SMXI with no problems. Installed latest nvidia driver which failed, tried the default debian and it failed, then I tried one of the middle ones, it reconized my card and installed fine (according to SMXI)

View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Have Gnome Want To Install KDE As Well
Dec 30, 2010I have gnome installed and want to install KDE as well to be able to run them both. As I understand from searching the web, I should be able to install KDE and at boot I will be able to choose which DE to start.
You are supposed to just run:
su [password ]
apt-get install kde
But I get dependencies errors, translated from swedish so it is not exact:
kde:
Dependencies: kde-core (>=5:47) but will not be installed
Dependencies: kdeaddons (>= 4:3.5.5) but will not be installed
Dependencies: kdenetwork (>= 4:3.5.5) but will not be installed
Dependencies: kdetoys (>= 4:3.5.5) but will not be installed
If I check kde-core the version is: 5:48. If I try to install kde-core first I get another bunch of dependencies errors... so I seem to go in circles.
I am running Lenny 5.0.7 amd64.

Debian :: Jessie DVD Install - Changing Gnome To KDE
Jun 24, 2015I am a experienced Windows person and my roots go back to DOS and the first version of windows. I am pretty good with computers but have little to no experience with Linux or Unix. About 30years ago I managed to make a painful transition from DOS and xTree Gold to Windows 3.1. Now I am leaving Windows behind forever...
I have installed Debian Jessie from a DVD that was made with the debian-8.1.0-i386-DVD-1.iso.
I have it installed and running with the Gnome desktop and now want to use the KDE desktop. As I understand it I have the files for the KDE desktop in my install and I see some KDE files the in the Packages app. But I don't know what I have, where it is, or how to use it.
I just cannot figure oout how to get the KDE desktop installed and running. If it is practical I would like to keep Gnome for now, switch to KDE as the defaultdesktop.
I have spend some hours googling and searching this forum and cannot seem to find anyting on switching or changing desktops from and with the Jessie install.
And if it can be done from Gnome that would be easiest for me because I am not much of a command line person yet and don't have a manual for doing that yet. But can use a terminal and enter commands if they are stated.

Debian Multimedia :: New Install Won't Boot Into Gnome
Oct 18, 2015Things have changed a lot since I started hacking Fortran in 1971...
I have installed debian 8.1.0 on my desktop (Asus m5a97 mobo, AMD 8230E cpu, e-Geforce 7200 GS graphics card). When I do a normal boot, the system will hang before it gets into gnome.
While in advanced mode, I noticed the following in /var/log/messages:
gnome-session[1371]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file caribou-autostart.desktop or it references a not
found TryExec binary
A search of the web found the same error : [URL] ....
The bug report suggested that I place the version of caribou-autostart.desktop found in:
/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/caribou-autostart.desktop
with the version found in:
/etc/xdg/autostart/caribou-autostart.desktop
I replaced the file. The problem is still there.
I have installed the 8.2.0 version of debian to see if the bug was fixed in the current release. The problem is the same.

Debian :: Install Disks For Full Gnome Desktop?
Mar 28, 2011Earlier today I installed Debian Squeeze with Gnome off the 64-bit CD 1. I didn't have my ethernet connected and ended up only getting a pretty minimal desktop with not much installed besides Gnome. This bothered me, as I thought I could install the whole desktop off the CD. I reinstalled, this time with my Ethernet connected. This time it took much more time and gave me what I wanted, a complete desktop. Simply put, what do I need to install everything that I currently have without having my Ethernet plugged in?

Aug 18, 2010I installed Debian Squeeze-testing weekly build today, with CD1 alone. It took 1 Hour 38 minutes to install and configure on my Pentium 4 2.7 Ghz , 1GB ram HP machine. I have some trouble with the installation. Sometimes the desktop just freezes while moving Icons, or opening Xterm. I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, OR Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys. I have to physically reboot. Why doesn't Ctrl-Alt-Backspace work on GNOME? Is there a IRC chat for Debian Help and what applications does one use on GNOME for IRC chat?
