Debian :: Kpackage Not Installed / How To Install It?
Mar 27, 2011
I just did a fresh net-install of debian squeeze after a failed upgrade from lenny. Everything works fine and seems great except that kpackage doesn't seem to be installed. I checked in /usr/bin/ and there is no kpackage.Package kpackage is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.However the following packages replace it:kdelibs-data
E: Package 'kpackage' has no installation candidate
So I installed that package and some others that looked like it and still I dont have kpackage. I now use synaptic and although I love it, I miss being able to install from the notification that there are updates (I do get those).

I have an annoying problem with kubuntu9.10. I've reeinstalled it and instead of starting up dragon player which then recommends installing extra packages for multimedia, i chose to manually install the restricted extras (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras).Everything seems to work, except for playback of dvd's which doesn't work. When I search in kpackagekit for libdvdcss, w32codecs etc it can't find anything. It seem as if it lacks some software sources but when I have everything enabled (universe-restricted-multiverse)So, what can I do to install these files (and others, don't know everything to play (encrypted) dvds).

I have a program which I would like to package into a deb file for personal use. The program uses a custom install script, and to package the program I need to know which files are installed where. Besides inspecting the installer, which may not be possible if the installer is a precompiled binary, what are some best practices for discovering the filesystem changes enacted by a program installer? Should I test the installer in a chroot environment? Can I sandbox the installer in some other way?

I am trying to install Debian onto an IBM ThinkPad 240X. The 240X will only boot from either an internal IDE hard-drive, or an external floppy-drive. For now, I have decided to ignore the option of using the floppy drive. I have other computers to support the process, an IBM ThinkPad T43p (Pentium M) as well as my primary laptop, a ThinkPad X200s (Core2 Duo). I have tried installing the hard-drive to be used into the T43p, then booting the Debian NetInstall from a USB thumb-drive, installing as usual, then transferring the hard-drive into the 240X. This does not completely work; GRUB and LILO will load, but the computer freezes very early (almost immediately) in the boot process.
Please note, I am trying this on a CF card. The 240X has an IDE-CF adapter, and my X200s has a USB-CF reader.So, I want to try to load the actual Debian Net Install on the 240X. Ideally, it will happen something like this; I will partition the hard-drive into these 2 partitions:
sda1: the Debian Net Installer
sda2: an empty partition waiting to have Debian installed onto it URL...
but the part I do not understand is how to get GRUB or LILO installed onto the CF card. I am wary of running commands such as "grub-install" as I do not want to mess up my GRUB install on the computers this command would be run from. If I run a command such as this, I would want it to ingore everything about the computer it is being run from, and only modify files or install onto the CF card. I would not want it to acknowledge the computer it is being run from as far as available installs, architecture, etc.

I installed debian and want to install compiz (properly).Read this thread Compiz and followed the instruction to install the packages. It mentions xorg.conf which does not exist where it tells me to look.I can type "compiz --replace" and it does do something but all the window borders disappear. I tried compiz setting manager - still same problem.And no visual effects (presumably due to missing xorg.conf)

I am trying to install RSYNC to my newly installed Debian (Booting from SD). I ran the command apt-get install rsync and I got the following error WARNING: This version of glibc requires that you be running kernel version 2.6.12 or later. Earlier kernels contained bugs that may render the system unusable if a modern version of glibc is installed. The installation of a 2.6 kernel _could_ ask you to install a new libc first, this is NOT a bug, and should *NOT* be reported. In that case, please add etch sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run: apt-get install -t etch linux-image-2.6 Then reboot into this new kernel, and proceed with your upgrade dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18lenny1_arm.deb(--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 INIT: version 2.86 reloading Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18lenny1_arm.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) When I ran uname and I found out the kernal version of my debian is 2.4.26. Then I ran apt-get install -t etch linux-image-2.6, and I get the error

how to install Debian after Windows is already installed. Could someone give me a brief guide to begin the process of installing Windows? When I installed Debian I already made a partition for windows (in the same hard disk), I hope I did it right.

I'm very new to Linux and have recently installed Debian Squeeze on my pc. I'm trying to install the Nvidia package as the system has a XFX 9 series card installed. I'm unable to get stop X to complete package installation. I keep getting permission denied when I run the command /etc/init.d/gdm stop. After reviewing a few forums I also log in as root to the console and tried the command there as well. I'm still getting the permission denied response. Can anyone advise on how to get around this?

I have a desktop PC which initially had the Intel D946gzis mobo, its chipset as video controller, some RAM and so. There I installed Debian without a problem alongside WindowsXP.
I've bought an ASUS HD 4670 video card, installed it on the PC and now the installed Debian does not work, while the Ubuntu live CD refuses to run no matter if I set acpi, apic on or off... it throws me some low memory corruption at position just like shown here. With normal configuration, Debian throws kernel panic (keyboard lights blinking). Anyone have faced this before? Ideas? Thanks!! (meanwhile, debian hides in a virtualbox :'( )
Edited: Tried Ubuntu 9.10 x64 (due to the fact i've a core2duo at 2GHz) and it throws a kernel-panic to me (flashing caps and num LEDs). On screen, can be read different lines with things like:
[ 1.957161] [] rb_erase+0xd6/0x160
[ 1.957266] [] page_fault+0x25/0x30
Could it be something about this new video card having ddr3?

I try to install the java plugin but the java test pages show not installed. I have tried the openjdk-6-jdk package and the Oracle/Sun 1.6.0_26 version to no avail.
Is there some good instructions page someplace? I have yet to find a set of instructions that provides something clear that works.

While I was installing some packages, the power in my street went out (uncleanly killing my system) ... unfortunately Kpackage was open at the time of the power outage. Now when I try to use KPackage, I get "Login Problem, Please Login Manually" ... which does not allow me to login using either the root or user's password. I have rebooted my computer many times and have even run a 'reiserfsck /dev/*** --fix-fixable' on my system, which did not repair the problem.
I have researched this error, but have only found responses that people suggest changing the KPackage behaviour from 'su' to 'sudo' ... ; while this does work, it feels like a 'putting-a-band-aid-over-a-warning-light-so-I-can't-see-the-warning-light-anymore' kind of 'fix?' which isn't good as it would enable anyone using the system to add or remove packages without thought or consequence. What I would prefer to do is actually fix the problem so that proper root password entering is again required to add or remove packages, so my question is:
1. Does anyone know if KPackage 'locks' out a file(s) on the system which may be preventing me from logging into the program correctly, and if so what and where the file(s) may be?
2. Can I delete any kpackage (profile?) file to gain normal login behaviour again?
3. Is this a permissions error?, has something in users/groups? been broken that I can look into?
4. how I may be able to properly repair this KPackage login problem on my system?

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.

Both start a process that says "decompressing Linux Parsin ELF" and then a lot of processes that are shown in "terminal style" lots of lines appearing... Then it asks for the username and password, which I enter and it recognizes correctly, but then I'm in the terminal,logged with my user but there's no Graphic interface!!! ONLY A TERMINAL!how do I activate something more user friendly?? I don't know any debian command and don't know if this is the way it is supposed to be, but I think not...

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.
