I want to have most my system in Debian Stable and a few packages updated to a version that is not in Stable repos.For example Abiword. With the one in Debian Stable I have many issues.I could add Debian testing repos and update it, but then I will have to upgrade to testing a lot of programs that I didn't intended to upgrade.ex: Abiword in testing may requiere libc6(testing) and with that I would have to upgrade a lot of programs that will not work with a newer version of libc6.
When I try this yum install kvm qemu libvirt python-virtinst qemu-kvm I become this error
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1.gz from install of qemu-img-0.10.5-1.el5.2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kvm-qemu-img-83-164.el5_5.25.x86_64
I've just installed lenny from dvd, and am just settling in. I'm curious about virtual machines. so I've installed xen. With xen comes qemu by default. Now the setup I've recently become familiar with is Suse-11 which is quite slick.In Suse, Yast provides a distribution prepared virtual management section for xen, including an installer. Debian's setup is similar but not a clone. I want to try out the installer. Aside from the differences, debian has a screaming deficit. On booting dom0 in Lenny, if fails to get into gnome, badly. I can tell what's probably wrong, but I need to fix it. Now I'm also a gentoo fan and very practised at posting queries, so here goes.
Debian's config for X is somewhat unhelpful. The xorg.conf just states Configured device and configured monitor for its components. If it expanded on just what the settings were it would help. What I have is a frambuffer driver not loadinf or being implemented.
I just installed qemu and want that my VM should have net access too. So for that I installed bridge-utils and used URl....Add both the interface with the second computer, and the interface that leads to the existing network. Do it with this command: # brctl addif br0 eth0 eth1
I upgraded to F15 from F14 via a yum upgrade using an F15 repo. Things seems to be working mostly OK except for some shared drives on Windows Server 2003. In my /etc/fstab file I have this:
Code: # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Fri Oct 8 18:32:22 2010 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
I currently have GNOME Boxes and Oracle VM VirtualBox installed on my Debian 8 system, and it works well. However, I recently installed VMware Workstation Player 12, and that seems to work too. However, I've noticed that since I've installed VMware, the networking in my GNOME Boxes virtual machines does not work. Also, every time I go to my networking settings, I see virtual networking devices for VMware that are really annoying. Why don't I have virtual networking adapters pop up for VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes? How can I get VMware and GNOME Boxes to play nice together?
I have 2 machines running 11.1, but using 2 diff KDE repo sets . . .
On the first, I am using /KDE:/43:/openSUSE_11.1 as listed under the KDE 4.3.x section of the KDE repo's page. The installed KDE version is 4.3.3-3 but yesterday this repo was updated to 4.3.4-1. The corresponding repo for 11.2 now also has 4.3.4-1.
On the second, I am using /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1. Installed is 4.3.3-128, the most current. This is the same version as in the corresponding 11.2 repo.
IIRC (and I very well may not) for those of us who wanted to go to 4.2 (and later, 4.3) it was first advised to use the /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory set, but later it was advised to switch to the /KDE:/43:/ set.
In any event, since 4.3.3 is officially released by KDE and considered stable while 4.3.4 is not, it would appear the upgrade path should use /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory/11.2 (which is counter-intuitive to me, given the "factory" nomenclature; on the other hand, the "43:" section is not accurately described, so perhaps that's the problem).
Imagine my surprise when, after accepting the proposed upgrades posted for OS 11.1 today, that my SeaMonkey email client shows NO messages from Sept. 2010 in any account, sent or received.
More info: Upon checking for messages, an unusually large number were seem to download (POP server) but few appeared in the in boxes. Old messages from August appeared for the first time.
I have to do it on several machines, so I wrote a script. You don't have to reboot but you must exit X. Use it at your own risk
Code:
#! /bin/bash # -------------------------------------------------------------- # What it does : # - unload fglrx if needed # - make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if any)
Is there stability advantages to installing the mint-meta-debian package from the repo below??? I have read that LMDE is safer than running Testing because there is less chance for breakage with LMDE. Less risky overall. Is that true?

i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.
when i apply this command $ make install --> that for build qemu for symbian in ubuntu i face this error -->mkdir -p "/amn/symbian/gcc/sf/adapt/oss+FCL+adapt+qemu.hg/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/bin" mkdir: cannot create directory `/amn': Permission denied

If I disable the repo-non-oss repository the update works fine. The URL I have for the repo-non-oss repository is:
Index of /distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss
This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to use a different URL for the non-oss repository? I live in New York, United States.
I have already created little .deb with a private key. And I am confused about the next step i.e. release
[1] If I simply provide the .deb as downloadable , then how can I provide the public key to the user, so that they can confirm the signature ? Should I need to provide the fingerprint only ? What should they actually need to do ?
[2] If I create a repo with reprepro, then how can I sign the repo with my private key, and what should the users need to do to confirm the signature verification, i.e. how can I provide the public key to the user ? and what should they need to do to access the repo for signature verification ?
I want to add a deb repo for Debian Lenny so that I can install libasound2. The name of the repo required is given as 1.0.22-2~bpo50+2. All the repositories in my /etc/apt/ources.list file begins with either deb http: or deb ftp. Do I write dep 1.0.22-2~bpo50+2?
I need to add universe repo on sources.list to install daa2iso for converting .gbi image to .iso image. On googling around I found; Code: deb URL...licid main restricted universe multiverse That is for Ubuntu.
I usually install chromium from the frickelpatz repo. On one previous update I noticed that other packages that had not been installed from frickelpatz were updated with packages from there (i guess frickel had a higher version number - k3b i think the package was). So I would like to see what other packages it offers so I am aware of which packages are at risk. failing that is there a way to tell apt that i only want to use the repo for chromium and its dependencies?
I added the Liquorix repo to try out the spiffy kernel. It didn't boot so I uninstalled the kernel and went on my way. I'd like to get rid of the repo entry in Synaptic but when I click on "remove" nothing happens. The repo is oddly not in my sources.lst file.
Just switched from stable to testing. To run a pure testing, can someone tell me if I have all the necessary repos below?

I have KDE 4.5.1 installed there are a few bugs I know they fixed in 4.5.2 but cannot find a repo with 4.5.2 or 4.5.3? Is anyone running either 4.5.2/3 and if so where did you download from?
I can't load the Debian multimedia repository, [URL], anymore in Synaptic. It says "404 Not Found." Did it change its address? I needed to download lame, and had to get it from another repository [URL] instead.
I'd like to learn it. So I installed lenny & grub2, after that win7, reconfigured grub2, upgraded to squeeze. All is fine, but I cant start working in Debian as I can work only in Windows. So I decided to use qemu to emulate win7 booting. I have sda1, sda2 for squeeze; sda3 and sda4 for win7. If I try "qemu /dev/sda3" I get disk read error. If I try "qemu /dev/sda" I have grub 2 boot screen and when continue booting win7 I get "Ramdisk device creation failed due to insufficient memory" (as screen on [UR:]). I tried to use m -1024 parameter and got screen with "Windows load files" and reboot to grub2 screen/
