Debian :: Proper Installation Of Firefox 5 In Testing?

Jul 11, 2011

What is the best way to install Firefox 5 (with flash) in Debian Testing ? I'm asking this because, until now, I've used Mint Debian, and now when I switched to Debian, there isn't a firefox 5 package in debian repositories, and I'm used to installing software through Synaptic only

Debian Multimedia :: Radeon Stopped Detecting Proper Resolution In Testing-Wheezy?

Apr 19, 2011

I have a LMDE (Mint Linux Edition based on testing, now Wheezy) i386 that I just did a dist-upgrade on and now it isn't properly detecting my monitor resolution. I have two 1680x1050 monitors, one attached to the DVI and another to a VGA video switch. When I rebooted to the new 2.6.38-2-686 kernel both monitors were giving me 1024x768. I futzed around for a while and could then get the the DVI monitor to correctly identify the proper resolution, but the VGA monitor resolutely refused to see more than 1024x768.

I was able to get the proper resolution by entering these commands:

[Code]...

Should I file a bug report, and if so, with whom? I have to say, the Debian bug report process is not too newbie (or even not-so-newbie) friendly, but I'd like to help if it doesn't require me to hand-configure a MUA.

Also, I suppose I shouldn't mention it in a single post, but my mouse is behaving rather unpredictably now (click speed, selecting), and trying to reboot dismounts the file system and then starts up again giving me my display manager (in my case KDM), without restarting the system (both from "sudo reboot" and trying to restart with KDM or the Gnome widget). If I really want to restart the system I have to halt it first and hit the power button.

Debian :: Iceweasel/Firefox 4 When In Testing Repos?

May 19, 2011

I'm running Testing and am wondering why didn't Firefox/Iceweasel hit this repo yet? I know that I can download it from another source but I prefer to follow the default repos. I'm not complaining, just asking where I can find more details about the delay and if some has an when it'll be pushed.

Debian Installation :: LiveCD - No Proper Display

Dec 15, 2014

I intend to switch to Debian form PCLinuxOS. I am not an experienced Linux user. But I intend to switch all my machines to Linux. I have used Antix as well on an older machine. I am a bit familiar with the basic Linux CLI commands.

I intend to switch to Debian as I think the support (Forums and probably mailinglist) are more active then PCLoS and Antix. Sadly enough though the live cd gives a problem which no distro gave on the same machine. And I really do not know what to do about it.

When starting the first line that prints is:

Umount: can't mount /live overlay: Device or resource busy

Debian Installation :: Debian Testing Does Not See The Network Card?

Oct 8, 2010

I just installed the Debian testing release(with LXDE) from this week. Everything works great except the network card. I know the network card works because Windows and the Parted Magic Live cd recognize it. Also "lspci" seems to list the card, but when I fire "ifconfig -a" it is not listed there.

Debian :: Debian Testing Vs Debian Stable With Testing Repositories?

Feb 28, 2009

I am a ubuntu user but I want to go to the next level to use debian because what I heard of it, but I get confused to what to install on my computer do I install debian testing or debain stable with testing repositories.

- I want to use this system to the home use only.
- I want to use the newest packages because the stable packages is too old to use.
- What about using more than one repository i.e stable with testing with unstable at the same time (the same sourcelist)
- Is the testing and unstable sid packages good enough for the home use?

Debian Installation :: Upgrading From LMDE To Testing

Apr 22, 2015

I am currently running Linux Mint Debian Edition (1 not the newly released 2). I am going to jump back to Debian testing shortly, and I'd love to avoid a fresh install. Whether I should upgrade to Stable before Testing, or just point the repos to testing and jump. Will it make any difference? If I hit a snag, I'll do the clean install.

Debian Installation :: Testing : Way Back Home?

Jan 22, 2010

Now that I've [url="http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=48745"]destroyed[/url] the installation on my notebook, and a fresh install of Lenny with upgrade to Squeeze (to try out smxi) didn't work, I wanted to install Squeeze fresh.But not from a CD. That's too tired, and I've never actually installed from a USB stick.So I set out to do this, for it doesn't seem hard at all:

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en. ... 04s03.html

I even get to use cool-sounding commands like zcat, so this is way hipper than burning CDs, of which I have far too many lying around. Now here's the thing, it boots up and gets started, but the versions of don't match. I got both of them from the [url="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/"]Debian-Installer page[/url] from netinst , both amd64, specifically: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd6 ... oot.img.gz (30 MB, don't click)
and http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily ... etinst.iso (139 MB, don't click)

How on man's green web,then,do I make sure that I match up the correct versions of the netinstall image and the installer files?hangs head and slooowly reaches for CD spindle...

Debian Installation :: Upgraded Squeeze To Testing?

Feb 16, 2011

I'm wondering about this because I'm considering doing this myself. Specifically, I'd like to know if your wireless configurations survived the upgrade or not. Meaning, where they removed, altered, or hopefully, where they preserved as they where?

Also if anyone knows of a good link regarding this particular upgrade, by all means please share. I have only been able to dig up a bit of dirt on the topic but they were concerning older Debian releases. Maybe theres not much difference?

Debian Installation :: Get Some Testing On The Installer Portion Of Squeeze?

Nov 4, 2010

I am still getting the error that no kernel modules are found when trying to load components from the CD on the multi-arch version of Squeeze. Are these even tested prior to releasing them? I mean I know it's testing but I thought we were reaching a release-date and the installer is 100% broken and has been for months. I have a pile of useless multi-arch CDs for Squeeze that won't install on 64bit or 32bit machines due to not finding the kernel modules. Can we get some testing on the installer portion of Squeeze?

Debian Installation :: Desktop Install Disk Go For Testing?

Dec 31, 2010

Where's the Testing Desktop Install CD? As I look at the Debian site the only choices I see are the massive full disk set, or the net-install CD's (url). The last time I tried to use the net-install method I got complex warning messages that a different kernel was installed--along with cryptic instructions I didn't understand. So where did the single CD, Desktop install disk go for testing?

Debian Installation :: Keyboard Not Detected With Testing USB Installer?

Jan 10, 2011

I'm trying to install Debian Testing onto my Acer Aspire One ZG5 using the testing versions of boot.img and debian-testing-i386-CD-1.iso. I previously installed (two days ago) the latest release of stable, and the boot.img/CD1 from that worked fine, installed seamlessly. With testing though, the menu does not respond to the keyboard as soon as the menu appears to select Install/Graphical install/Help, etc. I have also tried to boot with an external (USB) keyboard, which again, works fine with the stable version of boot.img/CD1, but not testing.I did some searching and couldn't find anything that looked similar

Debian Installation :: 6 - Testing Hangs At Password Prompt ?

Apr 17, 2011

I have made several attempts to install Testing. Down-loaded Apr 11 iso and verified the DVD. Everything went ok with install. It was when I booted up after removing install disk. I have Debian dual booted. Both Linux 10 and Debian Testing show up on the Grub screen. When I select Debian everything loads but when I get to the Debian screen I am asked for my password. However, the screen is lock up and no choice can be made. Three of my previous attempts (different install disks) have left me at the same place....locked password prompt. (4 year old HP Paviiion DV5000 laptop, 2 GB memory, 120 GB HD) I have successfully installed Debian 6 Squeeze with no issues.

Debian Installation :: Testing Netinst Network Down On First Boot In Virtual Box

Jul 11, 2015

I'm using the debian testing netinst image (from below url) and trying to install on virtualbox (part of a debian testing vagrant base box build pipeline I've got). This hasn't worked properly for last couple of weeks. Host system is also debian testing.URL....

if I accept all the defaults through the installer (apart from small details like timezone), I end up with a system in which the network does not work. It seems that /etc/network/interfaces has eth0 but the actual network card is called enp0s3, so no network comes up at first boot (despite that the network works fine during the actual install). I can easily fix it after the first boot by editing /etc/network/interfaces and replacing eth0 by enp0s3 and then doing an ifup. This is fine for a workaround but begs the question of why does it fail in the first place.

I have googled a bit and found this thread: [URL] .... which describes a similar issue, and there are other threads out there describing the change.

The udev change seems reasonable enough, but also some package involved in basic debian netinst installation has a bug given that the default install path results in a broken system. Question is, is there a bug already reported (I couldn't find it), or else, which package should I report the issue against? End result should be basic install does not require editing after boot to fix the network.

Debian Installation :: Testing Install: Network Configuration Fails?

Sep 14, 2010

I'm trying to install Debian-testing to an ASUS 1018P netbook on which I have successfully installed Arch in the past. I'm installing from an external DVD drive and when I get to the point of network configuration it fails. I'm connected via Ethernet via eth0 which is recognized. Here is the last part of the ouput:

kernel: [ 1807.932848] atl1c 0000:01:00.0: irq 29 for  MSI/MSI-X
kernel: [ 1807.933453] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval is 8
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval is 15

Debian Installation :: Reboots At Startup After Latest Update Of Testing

After the latest update of testing, Debian started to reboot at at startup, after just few messages shown (that's all after GRUB choice is made). If I pick up older kernel it boots OK. What should I look for to determine the cause? (I.e. what log etc.).

Debian Installation :: Update From Squeeze To Testing Suggests Lot's Of Removing?

Apr 22, 2011

When updating from the last Debian Live image (Squeeze) to the current Debian testing, apt announces a lot of packages being not required:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
openoffice.org-draw libpcsclite1 libwpd8c2a usb-modeswitch gtk2-engines-smooth dnsmasq-base tomboy
libmono-security2.0-cil libgsf-1-common update-notifier-common libndesk-dbus1.0-cil libmtp8 libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil
gnome-js-common pnm2ppa libavutil49 libhal-storage1 libmono-system2.0-cil update-notifier python-mako
openoffice.org-officebean openoffice.org-emailmerge network-manager-gnome openoffice.org-impress gdebi libgpod-common

[Code]...

These include some important packages, like network-manager-gnome for example. Was it really intended to be removed? Without it, it's impossible to manage network connections from Gnome (only manual option of editing interfaces config is left). Is it a bug, or some incomplete intention? apt suggests to autoremove these packages. Should they all be retained, or only some of them, or it's supposed to be none? Removing some of them makes sense for me (like Epiphany for example), but some not at all.

Debian Installation :: Testing Requires Missing Firmware File Rtl8168d-1.fw?

During the network card detection phase, it prompts to install missing firmware file rtl8168d-1.fw from removable media. I understand that this is a non-free blob removed from kernel v2.6.32.

Debian Installation :: Testing - All Logins Fail / System Error Message From The Passwd Command?

Mar 18, 2010

I just installed Squeeze on an older PC. Installation seemed to go fine. But when it booted up on the installed system for the first time, I could not login - username/password failure. I tried every possible typing error and CAP LOCK error I could have made - still nothing.

I brought up a console window and tried logging in as root - same problem.

I booted into single user mode and entered passwd command to set new root password - I got a SYSTEM ERROR message from the passwd command.

I booted to a Live CD, went to /etc/shadow and deleted the encrypted password. Rebooted on the hard drive, went to console window and logged in as root, with no password required. So far so good. I entered passwd command to set new password and got the same SYSTEM ERROR message.

The machine seems fine when running on the Live CD, and the install seemed to go fine.

Debian :: Tablet Features For LMDE (Debian Testing), Fujitsu T4310?

Jul 4, 2011

I tend to stay on for long time. My machine is a Fujitsu T4310 tablet. I have got all tablet features previously working properly when I was on Isadora Mint. After installing LMDE to my surprise basic features of the tablet simply worked out of the box but I'm missing a few important features like multitouch, screen rotate and buttons in tablet mode.

As far as my experience with Isadora, it needed a driver called "fjbtndrv", but I couldn't find it in the repos, moreover, I think it might need some tweeks to get it behaving properly. I found some refferences but it refers to other ubuntu based distros, which I can't use of course.

p.s. prefere a solution other than compiling it myself, it looks scary and has lots of dependencies.

Debian :: Install Debian Testing On A Hardisk With 5pct Of Bad Clusters / Sectors?

Jan 4, 2010

I have an harddisk which is old, since many years >10 years, and I recall I crashed few clusters using windows programs which were old and harddisk stuffs doing. So the pc lives with bad clusters, this pc lives very well since many years.Question, the pc has woody debian, which let us to install and exclude bad sectors during install. Bad clusters was an usual thing in the past, but today not anymore.Unfortunately debian squeeze installer coders had the good idea to remove the " bad cluster checking " before installing debian, during install (cdrom netinst).
