Debian :: What To Choose In Reportbug
Jun 2, 2010
i am currently testing squeeze and i found a bug, so i thought i'd try out reportbug, but i am at a loss at what to choose here, because: i don't know what package it is, and if i check "other", as suggested in such a case, it wants me to pick from a list of categories none of which fit.here is, in short, the bug:after the system has beenresumed from suspend, it freezes at some random time later, maybe immediately, maybe hours later.
alt+print+k and ctrl+alt+f1 do not work, alt+print+reisub works.every freeze is anticipated by a random process hogging 100% cpu, then the whole system becomes gradually unresponsive within a minute or so.so how do i categorize this?my least objectionable candidates were "general" and "base", but as i understandit "general" is for overall flaws in design rather than specific unexpectedness, and i don't really know what "base" means.

Is there a way of reporting a bug in reportbug? I was trying to report a bug in another package and everytime I tried to run reportbug, the terminal window would display "Segmentation fault" or if I ran it with the --configure option, a GUI opens up, select Continue, then the screen says "This may take a while...". Well, 20 minutes later, the screen still says "This may take a while" and reportbug is still doing nothing..

On my pc, video playback is not as it should be. Somehow, not all video frames are displayed. In smplayer, I have video output set to x11 (slow). If I set it to anything else, it's worse. How do I know exacly what video output to choose ? Is video output determined by the video card ? My video card is ATi Radeon 9200 SE. What video output should I set in smplayer ?

I've recently upgraded my squeeze to sid, then installed gnome shell as default window manager.
1. Gnome shell was normal until yesterday, I upgraded new packages up to date, then I cannot log into gnome shell any more (however, fallback mode is normal). It shows a sad computer screen with message "Oh no, something has gone wrong". The only thing I can do is pressing the logout button to log out.
2. Debian is running on my thinkpad T60p, and I can choose keyboard model in Gnome2, but I can't find any options in the system setting in Gnome shell to change keyboard layout for model IBM T60/R60.

Some thing quite bad happened to me , i installed debian jessie about 2 month ago. Today I wanted to try what a gnu/linux is like so I installed dragora 2.2 on one of my free partitions , (sda 1 is my debian root , sda2 is my debian home, I had sda4 which nothing was on it so i installed dragora on it. But something bad happened , during boot time you get this page which asks you what distro you want to enter in past I had just one choice and it was debian jessie, I expected after installing dragora I will see 2 distros on this page, but i get just 1 , and that's dragora ... but maybe i should mention this that when entering dragora i can access all my previous files , debian systemfile , debian home , they are still there but i can't enter debian jessie ...

any one point me to the download link of the most suitable ISO image (CD/DVD) with the latest stable Debian Lenny distro, taking into account that I have a two-processor Intel motherboard with currently one Intel Xeon 64bit processor.

Suppose I have both a hardwired and a wireless network connection active on the same system at the same time. Can I tell my browser which one to use? Can I tell other programs which one to use? Or do they choose for themselves> Or does some automatic system protocol select which one to use for them?

I downloaded one of the businesscard isos and booted up, but have run into the problem that my usb keyboard is dead in the installer. It works in setting up my bios, and has always worked before, but I cannot choose any items on the installation menu. I found a bug report that seems to be this issue, but it said that this would be fixed when debian moves to the 2.6.32 kernel on the installer.

Unfortunately, when I try to install Debian off the DVD, the wireless gets disconnected right when it tells me to choose my method of connecting to the net. It then gives me three choices of connecting - wired, unknown, and wireless. I must be missing something, because when I choose wireless, it says it fails, and cannot find anything to connect to. I input the SSID and password manually and it says its not there. So I quit the install and go back to the desktop and reconnect no problems.

I'm trying to install Debian Jessie beta2 on a UEFI laptop. The installation worked just fine before with setting in manual partitioning an EFI system partition and a root partition.But when I try to partition with root as an encrypted volume I get this error when I wanna write changes to disk:" the attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in scsi1 partition sda at /boot/efi failed"When I choose resume partitioning the installer then freezes at "detect file systems".
Because my harddrive needs specific alignment I've made beforehand in gdisk:EFI System Partition of 100mib at /dev/sda1/boot partition of 512mib at /dev/sda2/ (because I expect the installer to want a /boot too for an encrypted device)rest of harddrive reserved for root at /dev/sda3

Basically I had windows 8.1 running on my fujitsu lifebook A532 laptop and wanted to dual boot kali linux alongside it, however upon installing the linux it deleted EVERYTHING! on my laptop, the grub bootloader only showed kali linux to choose from...
I then decided kali linux is too complicated for me and decided to delete everything and reinstall windows 8 again however I was surprised that my bios screen looks diffrent also I can not edit the boot sequence.
If I press f2 or f12 it takes me to a screen with a tab named Boot menu and its written on it debian and every time I press enter on it it takes me back to this same screen...
I can not boot from cd or usb!

I bought my previous laptop without thinking about whether linux would run or not, I ran into a lot of ton of trouble and had to use ndiswrapper for the wireless and I had to wait year before a patch came so the monitor could be used, and 1 year before it ran stable (back then I used ubuntu). I have a medion computer, their consumer service are very nice, however I fried the hard drive, and when I got the computer back the wireless card weren't visible from linux... I then went into the bios to find out that there were only 2 settings to choose between "off" and "last state", and last state apparently also meant off... in windows both off and last state could be turned into "on" by clicking Fn + F7... but this did not change the bios setting and therefore linux wireless were still off (I know it sounds strange).
Anyway My girlfriend needs a windows computer for gaming (and all of out computers run only linux with the exception of mine which dual boots), so I have desided to buy a new one. My main question is this: which laptop manufactures play nice with linux... I have heard only bad things about dell costumer service, and I want to buy a laptop that I can return w/o to much hassle if it doesn't perform as I am hoping...
My second question is, is there any way to check whether the graphics card and such are compatible with linux ahead of time, (w/o acualy buying it where you can do lspci and then submit it to some webpage) 3rd are there anyway to check whether the fn + key buttons and webcamp works ahead of time (this is only of minor importance, as I find that generally the sound up and brightness up/down works, and that's the most useful)

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 on my computer alongside my Windows XP partition. However, on startup, my monitor displays "Video Mode Not Supported" which I assume is the Grub2 interface to choose my OS. Unfortunately, it keeps booting into Ubuntu, and I cannot change it. So, through the command line, I made the default OS on startup windows xp. But now I don't know know how to change back... Is there anyway I can change the display settings to be supported by my monitor (it's native resolution is 1440x900)Any help would be appreciated, Been using macs all my life, so I am a noob when it comes to Linux and Windows

We are starting the development of a project in PHP+MySQL that will become a software-as-a-service.After starting and planning how we would deploy the project, the first thing that came into our mind was: the project will be hosted on our Debian stable server and will contain all of our clients databases and each client folders for the project (and of course, a separate server for backups) and all projects running "under" the same apache and mysql server. This was our preferred approach.
Another friend suggested us -as a second approach for the deployment- that instead of having all projects and all databases running under the same physical server and under the same apache and mysql, that we could build our own "cloud" using something like openQRM and have each one of the projects deployed in a separate "virtualized" server (one virtual server per client) and this way the resources are better balanced and is easier to recover a virtual server if crashed as the backups are made of the virtual servers images. He said that this is a very new concept that is taking the internet services market more and more.
So, we started to research about the "cloud computing" concept in order to have a better idea of this second suggestion our friend gave to us.In terms of performance, it seems to me that the "cloud" approach could consume a lot of moreresources than the first approach ?? and is a lot harder to maintain and extend ??I would really appreciate your opinions and recomendations on which option is really worth for what we are going to offer to our clients.

Using OpenSuse 11.2 RC2. After playing around to install the nvidia driver, Yast lost its beautiful initial colours (light blue, as the rest of the kde desktop) and became a bit uglier (dark blue, more rudimentary, etc; I think the default "unbranded KDE"'s colour).I have the KDE theme set either for the regular user and for root. I have also installed the packages yast2-theme-openSUSE and yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen installed but, how shall I choose one of them?Some webs say that there is an option in Yast under "miscellaneous" to choose Yast's theme, but I do not have it.

Is there anyway to make it so I don't have to use it? And just use the regular one which shows what Os's to choose from, like on most Windows machines when you dual boot etc?

KPackageKit sometimes tell me there are packages to upgrade, and some are tagged as bugfixes, and some as security upgrades. Are there any ways to find out from the command line which packages are which? I'd like to only apply a certain class, automatic, without using KPackageKit. Using 'apt-get upgrade' I get a list of upgradeable packages, but no list of which class they are. Is there a way?
