General :: Debian Lenny : How To Install Xfce 4.6 Instead Of Lenny's 4.4

Dec 14, 2009

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.

I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.

i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

Debian :: Lenny Xfce On Virtualbox - Can't Change Resolution

Mar 11, 2010

Well I have installed lenny from netinstall, with Xfce on a virtual machine, everything runs smooth and I really like how does it work, I just have a little big problem, the resolution is too high, it is higher than the host resolution, if I have to work in the down part of the screen I have to scroll down in host, it is kinda annoying, under screen config (right click>configuration>screen config) for resolution only the default option is available. I have googled and I have found that /etc/X11/xorg.conf must be modified to use another resolution, but I'm not sure of what to change or what to do exactly.

Debian :: Get And Install GTK+ On Lenny?

Apr 26, 2010

I understand that FireFox requires GTK+. It appears that lenny did not include this package. Being new to Linux, I am unsure of just what it is that I need to do. Most of the web searches that I have doen have only confused me that much more.

So, how to get and install GTK+ on lenny?

Debian :: Install Gettext On Lenny?

Feb 14, 2010

I need to install gettext on my machine, so I use synaptic to install but it give the following error

gettext:
Depends: libc6 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgomp1 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gettext-base but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: curl but it is not going to be installed or
wget but it is not going to be installed or
lynx but it is not installable

So I check libc6 which is install as libc6-dev other libc6 files such as xen, are high highlighted in red.

libgomp1 is installed.

gettext-base is installed.

curl will not allow itself to install as it says it needs libc6 (which is installed see above) lots of other curl files are highlighted red, with x's next to them, to remove. However the apply button is not highlighted?

Debian :: Install Lenny From A Usb Memory?

Mar 19, 2010

Today I installed Lenny on a new server. The server didn't have any CD-Rom, so I tried putting the net install on a memory stick using unetbootin. The install went fine, but the problem was that the memory stick became sda and two SATA disks in the server became sdb and sdc.When I then tried to remove the stick, the SATA disks became sda and sdb, and it would not boot, because it had written the MBR on the stick.It hurried a little bit, so I had to take out a CD player from another computer, and connect it inside the server to get Lenny installed.But it would be cool if it was possible to install with the stick. And no more waste of CD-Rom players that will be used only once.

Software :: Install Debian Lenny From CLI?

Jul 27, 2010

I've been working with Debian and it's variants(Ubuntu, Mint) for about 2 years now. I'm bored at work and got to thinking that as much as I know about Linux now compared to when I started(enough --> none), I can always learn more. I notice I learn more by doing than by reading like many others and like a hands on approach, and if I screw something up, even better as I can learn from that mistake not just what happens but why it happens and how it can be avoided.

Anyways, I was installing Lenny on a VM and was going through the install options and was playing with an ssh install when I thought I might be able to install totally from the command line. I'd be surprised if I couldn't, and while I realize it's probably not the easiest thing to do, what have I got to lose? I managed to get as far as the shell but then i'm sort of at a loss. I think I have all the pieces(load components from media, configure packages, partition, install) but I can't really put them together. how do I go about, if at all, installing from the shell? I figure if I can do this i'll learn quite a bit more about the install process and can help myself out down the road if I'm not reliant on the hand-holding gui install.

Not having a firefox folder I installed using /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin . But the plugin has an X attached to the respective icon in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Debian Installation :: Windows 7 Won't Boot After Lenny Install

Apr 9, 2010

I installed lenny and now my windows 7 won't boot. When I select it in Grub the machine just restarts the bios after a few seconds of black screen. The machine I'm using is a very vanilla intel p4.

I'll paste my /boot/grub/menu.lst below. All of the drive options look correct. I properly shutdown Windows 7 before installing lenny. I'm sure I can reinstall the mbr and get my windows back, but I would like to dual boot with grub.

Debian Installation :: Lenny Install Not Reading Media

May 5, 2010

I've installed Lenny a few times before, but something is going wrong here this time. I couldn't remember the exact method I used to put an image on a disc, but I tried over 10 ways, and every time, after starting up, it says something along the lines of please select different boot device or insert bootable disc and press a key. There's a bunch of options to make these images in Windows apps, but I did one solid way that should have worked i believe.

This was to zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdx and so on, then copy the mini.iso to the usb drive (instead of previously making cds). I thought maybe my cd drive wasnt working, but the usb drive, when selected as primary boot drive had same issue. I didnt see any errors in its creation on the usb drive either. Running AMD64, have three hard drives plugged in, thought maybe the newest drive had an issue, so I tried different combinations of unplugging power and data cords of each and once all hrd drives. Using this computer right now, actually, XP is running. A command prompt version of squeeze is installed, its having some difficulties, thats why i would like a new install.

Debian Installation :: PXE Install Lenny With Files From CD On Webserver?

Nov 1, 2010

I am having serious trouble getting Debian to install over our LAN using PXE/syslinux, a custom preseed.cfg, and the files from the DVD on a webserver. I think the problem is using the files from the DVD on the webserver instead of a mirror, but I believe this should be possible. I do not have enough space on the webserver to house an entire debian mirror.

Debian :: SATA DVD Drive Not Detected During Lenny Install?

Nov 17, 2010

I am trying to install Debian 5.0 "Lenny" on a PC with a very new hardware config (i3 processor, DDR3 RAM,LG SATA DVD drive, and Seagate SATA HDD). During the hardware detection phase of installation, I get a message saying the driver for my CD drive is not known, and asking me to select one manually. The options I get are only 'devcdrom', which does not work, and my installation cannot proceed.

I tried the following:

1. I read in a similar query that to use SATA DVD drives, I will have to set some boot options, so tried entering install libatapi_enabled=1 as an install option. This showed 'unknown parameter' error followed by same problem.

2. My Intel m/b BIOS has an option to set the DVD drive to "Native" or "Legacy", default is Native. I also tried changing this to "Legacy". Still same problem.

3. Read that I have to point to different drivers, but don't know how to do this during the installation.

Debian :: Install An I386 Library Onto Amd64 Lenny?

Jul 24, 2010

There's a certain program I'm trying to run that will only work with the 32-bit version of a certain library - the 64-bit version included in the repository won't work for it. I found an i386 .deb package online (made for ubuntu but it should work with regular debian), but when I try to install it, it says incorrect architecture, use amd64 version instead.

How can I force it to accept the i386 version of this package?
