Networking :: Debian Testing (Wheezy) Update REALLY Broke Networking
May 8, 2011
The update that broke things contained some 400 packages.The problem is NOT hardware related. There are 2 other linux installs on the laptop that work the way they should.This is all related to using a wired network connection.The update removed the package network-config and did not replace it. Not sure that is the problem because that package is related to the gui and I can not get an ip in cli.
I am stuck at cli because the new kernel broke nvidia (pretty normal). There was also a new xserver, which tends to break nvidia, and as I recall a new kde. Anyway I am unable to rebuild the nvidia driver because I can not establish a network connection to my network to get the packages needed to fix it.

I'm running debian testing on my laptop. This morning when I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, I was greeted by the following errors:
Code: Select all
Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl3-gnutls : Depends: librtmp1 (>= 2.4+20131018.git79459a2-3~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
A quick search found out that package librtmp1(2:2.4~20150315.gita107cef9b-dmo1) is already installed.
I do have some packages set on hold, however I don't think that's the problem:
Code: Select all$ dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
hostapd hold
libgcrypt11:amd64 hold
linux-image-amd64 hold

Writing this from a 9.10 LiveCD, so I know that my hardware is working fine.My system is running 10.10 normally. Last night, the update manager popped up, as it frequently does, and said I had some packages that could be updated. So I let it update after which it said I needed to reboot. So I did, and now it doesn't recognize my network connection, and even the blinky lights on the port itself stay dark. don't know a lot about networking or stuff under the hood, but I can work a console and/or text editor if someone can tell me where to look and what to type.My hardware is (from "lspci | grep -i eth"):02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)The packages that have a modified date of last night are:
ubuntuone-client-gnome_1.4.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
python-ubuntuone-client_1.4.6-0ubuntu2_all.deb
libsyncdaemon-1.0-1_1.4.6-0ubuntu2_amd64

After a recient update to the freenx libraries KDE on Kubuntu 10.04 stopped working but other desktops like gnome kept running. The problem wasn't in the normal log files, but it was found in the .xsession-errors file in the user directory on the server. After the update NX is trying to start kde with the /usr/bin/startkde4 command which doesn't exist. Instead make a link from /usr/bin/startkde to the non existent /usr/bin/startkde4 and it will work again. To do this use the command:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/startkde /usr/bin/startkde4

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.

I have a huawei e230 modem that used to work pretty good until this week. It has always been much slower on linux than windows but I am not complaining because windows keep disconnecting ever hour or so, while linux can stay connected over night without problem. The modem is still recognized but when I try to connect it suddenly disappears.

I managed to get my Linksys AE1000 USB wireless adapter to work on Unbuntu 10.04 LTS.but recently I updated the kernel to 2.6.32-26 and when i rebooted I logged on to see my wireless connection was not working.even worse, I can't fn the links i had that showed me how to install it in the first place, its about the fact that the new kernel uses a different usb setup(probably incorrect, let me know it its incorrect). its an issue that the hacked driver isnt compatible with the new kernel release, how can i revert to the older version that it did work on? i'm using a RALinkTech driver [URL]

Wheezy gets daily small updates.General things go smoothly - get the notification and install, job done.By occasionally it stalls - it says do partial or full updates and just sits there. For last week this persistent problem.Only way around is boot up and do manual update before notification kicks.As I type the update manager is sitting there doing nothing. Another reboot needed.

Today, after some testing with compiz in my PC, I ended up uninstalling it again, because the video card didn't have the right specs. So when I rebooted, my desktop started acting weird - the applications' top panels disappeared, they couldn't be moved around, no more usable workspaces, etc ... also the mouse pointer keeps on rotating indefinitely, making my OS practically unusable. So is there any hope I can restore my desktop to its previous state, or do I have to do a full reinstall, which I'd like to avoid if possible ?
Using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, 64 bit, Gnome.

I installed the latest security update for squeeze. It entailed an update of the kernel. Now when it boots, it give continuous kernel error messages about "can't enumerate usb .... " I have a custom kernel compiled from source (not sure about the patch level) from the same kernel 2.6.32. It seems to work OK. Should I worry about the security of this custom kernel or should I try to recompile it? I don't really know how to do any patching of the kernel source.

After the latest update of Debian Wheezy, about three days ago, one of my machines won't boot anymore. The update was done by:
Code: Select all/usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y autoremove
I get the error message: "Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/71c... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
The dir /dev/disk contains only "by-id" and "by-path".
I booted with the rescue system, dropped into a shell and recreated the ramdisk with
Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
But without success. On another machine the update went flawlessly.

After the last update in testing, (02/21/16), my sound stopped, (it did have an unfixed issue with the jacks and muting, things would be muted on reboot, until I plugged in something, then removed the plug from the front jack), I have never had a sound issue, so I am a lot lost here...
Here is what I know... If I use speaker-test as root, I hear sound... If I use speaker-test as my normal user account, (non root), I see no errors in the term window, but hear no sound... To me this says permissions issue, but I am a member of audio.

I rely on NFS shares to mount home directories and the shared apt cache on my home workstations. Since the last update, rpc.statd has broken and the service fails to run at boot. When init encounters nfs-common, the system shows: Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!
and then it hangs on trying to mount /var/cache/apt
if anybody who uses testing has any clue as to whether there is a fix coming from the upstream, or if there is a config fix for it.

I decided to update all the software on my computer. Fortunately, it upgraded kernel version 3.14 to 3.16. I was happy to learn that suspend now worked on my laptop by calling pm-suspend, but it did not worked by closing the lid. So I search and found on debian's website that installing systemd and adding some config lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf would sove the issue. So I followed the procedure and did like instructed, to end up with a computer that boots on black screen.
The last verbrose line I see on boot up is "kvm disabled by bios" and then it shutdown down the screen. The computer works, as I can login and shutdown by doing those operation blindly.
I tried removing systemd but it still does not work. If I use the old kernel 3.14 I can boot without any problem, but if I use kernel 3.16, I boot to a black screen. I remember successfully booting in 3.16 before installing systemd.

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.).

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.

I installed 11.04 from disc for a clean install on my dual boot vsta/ubuntu desktop.I was so frustrated that i had no wifi in 11.04 that i got out my 10.04 disk and triple booted that into the mix.Still no wifi (axcept in Vista) however if i unplug my usb wifi device and replug it in while in10.04 i will get the 'connection established' info box yet when i try to open Firefox i get the 'no internet connection or check firewall setting' drop down box.My wifi was working in 10.04 previous to 11.04 install.Note the unplug/replug usb does not work at all in 11.04.Also its strange that my wifi icon in 10.04 went from the bar graph style to the radiating arch style since the reinstall,even though i used the same install disc as pre 11.04

I got help getting wifi working on a Toshiba laptop with 10.10. After an update came through and I applied it (I believe it was a linux kernel update or generic headers update) wifi stopped working.I followed the steps in the post to re-create the driver but this time it doesn't work. So 2 questions:1. How to re-create the driver after this update?2. How to prevent this from happening again? So that another update doesn't make the driver not work?

I installed Natty on a second partition yesterday to try it out, but i can't get wireless to work. Hardwire connection works fine, so does connecting wirelessly to my router. However, i cannot browse the internet or update. After rebooting a couple of times i was surprised to see internet working, but only for about half an hour. Then it stopped working again. My card is a Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN and i'm using the 64 bit version of 11.04.
So my question is if anyone has had the same kind of problem or maybe knows a fix?
I'm really disappointed cause Ubuntu worked out of the box for me since Hardy.

I recently upgraded from Debian Lenny to wheezy (testing). I use a popular 3G modem, the Huawei E220. In Lenny everything worked fine. I use wvdial to connect and the script from lenny, which worked just fine.Unstable behaviour goes like this:I connect, pppd starts, then, either immediately or after a few seconds, the modem hangs up (pppd errorcode 16). Upon retry a SIM Error is being thrown or the /dev/ttyUSB0 node vanishes. Un/Re-plugging the modem and dialing again results in a working connection (mostly). Is there any possibility finding out why the modem hangs up (because a web research revealed that there are a million possibilities for this behaviour)?

I am running Fedora 14 with KDE on my IBM T60p Thinkpad laptop. The wireless network adapter is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. The wireless network uses WPA2 with AES encryption.
Until yesterday my wireless worked fine. I originally installed wlassistant and it enabled my Network Manager to work with WPA2. My XP on the same machine still works on wireless without any issues, so both the adapter hardware and the router are eliminated as sources of the problem.
Yesterday I booted up my Linux and noticed there were 20+ security updates and I installed them all. It asked me to logoff and log back in. I did, and since then my wireless is dead as a doorknob. When the wireless adapter initializes it prompts me for the WPA2 password, however the password is visible in the password field. I click to accept it but it cant connect. Network manager just sits there waiting for authentication and nothing happens. The wpa_supplicant service is disabled, however I honestly cant remember if it was enabled before, considering that I use wlassistant. If I enable it, still nothing happens.
Anyway, thinking that the security updates possibly broke wlassistant, I uninstalled it and installed the latest version. The old version was 12, the new one is 13. It makes no difference though.I always use my laptop on wireless, therefore I am dead in the water.
Its really frustrating how something always breaks on this OS. It resembles a leaky boat that always has at least one hole. By the time I plug it another one appears, so I spend 90% of my Linux time fixing problems and have the remaining 10% for work and play. Windows and Mac work out of the box and apparently thats what 99% of users want, hence the 1% market share
Anyway, sorry about this, however losing my network connectivity from installing security updates really ticked me off. Its pretty unacceptable. Anyone has any ideas which recent fixes may be to blame? I am sure it didnt only happen to me.

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?

So, after doing a 'yum update', I minimized the terminal and completely forgot about it - so I accidentally went ahead and suspended my laptop before it had finished. I resumed my laptop and noticed that yum hadn't finished 'cleaning up' the packages. Nevertheless, yum continued and the process finished. After an hour or so use of the internet (wirelessly), all of a sudden the wireless network disconnected, and NetworkManager crashed. I rebooted my computer only to find that NetworkManager now says that my 'firmware is missing' for my wireless card.
