Networking :: Installing IMQ On Debian?
Jul 12, 2010
I'm needing to make use of the IMQ devices but I keep getting errors when inserting iptable records and/or trying to configure/use the imq device.
It appears that IMQ is not enabled in my debian installation and after several hours of searching for a reasonable guide of installation I'm more confused than before.
I'm currently running on Debian 2.6.26-2-686.
I've tried following the instructions in this guide: [URL]
But this involves recompiling the kernel and I've got even less idea about that.
EDIT: I've proceeded further attempting to build a kernel using the link listed above; however I keep encountering many varied errors which I can't quite make sense of.
I've downloaded linux-source-2.6.26 and extracted it; I've attempted to patch the source with linux-2.6.26.8-imq-test2.diff and this reported 1 out of 6 hunks failed. Then when trying to make a kernel config using xconfig it keeps reporting that qt3 is not found but I've installed the pkg-config as it was asking for.

I just installed debian lenny in one computer, and after installing, I noted that I havenot got internet. (wire internet, by LAN card)And this computer does have internet with windows and Ubuntu. During the instalation I havenot got access to internet and I miss internet autpmatic configuration, and I think the problem is there. So, now I have finished the instalation, how can I activate internet in my debian? (wire internet by LAN card)

I want to change to Debian from Ubuntu. But, unfortrantly, I have problem in installation.I want to install Debian 5 on my Dell optiplex 380 desktop. In the process of installation, the networking adapter can no be detected. My networking adapter is Broadcom Corporation netlink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe. It seems like that Debian 5 does not have the driver for this kind of adapter.What can I do now

This problem of mounting usb-sticks has cropped up after installing debian-5.0.4 anew. Whenever I am attaching the usb the lower panel shows JetFlash TS2GJFV30 (not mounted). When I am clicking on 'Mount device' a red warning sign is appering telling 'Error'. If I run terminal command 'mount /dev/disk' then error message is 'mount: can't find /dev/disk in /etc/ or /etc/mtab'.

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?
# Linux Mint Debian Edition (I get Firefox from here)
# get the mint-keyring from the repo
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import

I have been trying to install a command line Debian Squeeze system on n Eee PC 701., but have run into a number of problems:
1) All install info I can find assumes that the person wants to install a GUI system of some sort.
2) The Eee PC has a unique 2 MB. partition that needs to be preserved, so no guided install.
3) The Eee PC has an SSD instead of an HD. Most postings I have seen recommend an install without a swap partition, but the install (both live and text) seems to choke and despite a fresh formatting of the existing partition, claims to be overwriting existing files.
4) I can understand from the wiki that the Eee PC wireless driver (Atheros) should be included in Squeeze, but when the wireless connection and password is added, the installer claims that the password is not correct, despite me having checked it a number of times.
I hope someone can help me out. I just want to use the Eee PC for low resource stuff done on the cli like using a text based web browser to access the net through a wireless router and to hook it up to an external USB HD and to my stereo, to play my music collection.

I have installed Windows 7 on my laptop . Now, it directly boot from Windows 7 . I think the MBR overwrote my grub . I have found two methods by google , but still does work .
1: boot from debian install CD, Alt +F2 switch to the console. "grub " "root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0,0)".
2:boot from CD, mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt ; chroot /mnt ; grub-install /dev/sda.

I installed Debian Squeeze with no issues. I went to install latest Nvidia driver as done previously with Lenny. Used instructions that worked on lenny from "the trooper" [url]
Downloaded th latest driver for my GeForce 7300 GS vidio card, driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
Used "method # 2 as described in HOW TO,as it worked perfectly in the past on Lenny. Only syntax I changed was instead of gdm I typed gdm3 as it appears that is the new name for gnome in Squeeze.
Did as folows:
Now the trouble showed up, Unfortunatly I can only go off my memory. A question was asked stating that something did not match, it needed a 3 and the driver had a 4 version or somethng of this sort. then it asked if I new what I was doing (and I lied) and selected yes. And whammo, it didn't work. (This question was asked when i did in Lenny and it is working perfectly still on that system). I now can not boot to GUI, I notice when system boots it starts in "S" mode although I select normal boot from grub2.
Not too bad if I got to reinstall as little is on the system. I just want to know what I am missing on the instalation deal or should I be going about this difrently with Squeeze.

I have downloaded Debian/PowerPC_lenny from http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst. The netinst CD or the minimal CD for some reason doesn't boot. When I put it in the CD-ROM it doesn't begin whatever it has to do. Do I need to do anything? I restart my iBook G4 (1.33 GHz PowerPC G4) several times and held the "c" button (for CD-ROM) but nothing has happened. I wonder if someone can help me begin the installation process.
FYI, I have partitioned my hard drive into two volumes. I would like to install Debian in one of them. I *do not* want my Mac OS X to get disappeared in the Debian installation process. So please help me if you would as to how I can (1) boot Debian minimal CD and (2) install Debian on one of the two volumes I have on my iBook.

Now that Etch is on archive.debian.org - how do I get the Debian installer to install it (via. net)?Before everyone shouts "upgrade to Lenny" - I need Etch for a reason.Simply putting archive.debian.org as the install mirror doesn't work either.

What I did to configure the network:
1) remove network manager
2) make ip address entries in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolve.conf files.
when I do networking restart it is showing
"reconfiguring network" [OK].
However Google.com is an unknown host. I am getting the feeling I am missing something. The network adapter is showing green led . Does it have something to do with the microsoft networking that's running in my office?

so a friend of mine that really liked the Debian Linux I had, had me install it it on his hard drive. I stupidly believed him when he said that he wasn't going to go back to windows, but now he wants to. This was almost a year ago and now that his entire hard drive is formatted to linux (with more than 40 gigs in programs and files) I was wondering if I could install windows XP on the second hard drive (currently not being used) then re-run grub from an install CD to recognize both the WIndows and Linux installations.

I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I'm getting tired of it. Every time I update to the latest version, even if I wait awhile, something always breaks. I want an OS that I can update without having to worry about something breaking and I hear that Debian is great for that. I'll be installing it in a few hours when I get back from Iron Man 2. I just created this thread because I know I'm going to have questions. Don't worry, I'll try to solve any problems I come across myself before asking here. I'll be installing Debian Stable because I figure that'll be good enough for me.

I was wondering. Up till now whenever I installed Linux I've either dual booted with Windows off 1 HDD, or installed straight Linux by itself. However, I recently purchased a second HDD for my computer, and was wondering how I could go about installing Debian on the second drive without messing with the windows drive? Right now I have Windows 7 installed on my 1TB drive, and would like to try and install Debian on my second (750GB) drive. Would it be possible to install Debian on the second drive, install grub on that drive's MBR so I could choose between Debian and Win7 without touching the MBR on the 1TB Windows drive?
I'm paranoid about messing up my Seven installation, but really want to be able to load into Debian as well.

After installing Debian Testing from the business card ISO via unetbootin, without a DE or WM, I log into root and get an error. The error is INIT: ID "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. I see the "co" line in /etc/inittab but I don't know what to do. How do I fix this error?

I am looking at installing Debian on a USB flash drive (not in a read only manner, but with configuration changes saved). I have read the eeepc usb stick installation guide, and just have a few remaining questions. Is there anyway to force the usb stick to stay in the same address (as it will be in a system with two sata drives, in hot swap caddies). Apart from having /tmp and /proc on ramdisks, is there anything else that is recomended to avoid excessive wear on the memory stick.

I'm experiencing a strange behavior from apt on my Debian 4 etch installation.
Sometime ago I installed XMailServer on it, and so far so good, it is working quite fine and no issue at all here. However since this installation apt got crazy and now each time I install something else it goes and installs xmail again. This creates the issue that everytime I add or remove a package xmail gets unconfigured and I've to delete spool and recreate the domains.
Sort of:
apt-get install somePackage ....regular messages if something else is needed to be downloaded... then installs xmailserver again for no reason at all giving a whole load of "file already exists" errors while rewrite xmail's config.
Already tried apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, purge/remove -> reinstall sequence, delete the .deb package from apt's cache. But still no luck, apt insists into reinstall it everytime I want to install anything else.
Any place I can edit to make apt stop doing this?

At the Debian download web page, there are many choices for an installation CD. There also is a 4 DVD set. I presume the CD is to get a base system installed. I presume the 4 DVD set is the whole ball of wax.
Yet presumptions are not always a good thing. So I would appreciate an explanation about the difference between the two options or just point my nose to the appropriate link. I browsed the Debian online docs, but I did not find an explanation. I am getting older too, so perhaps I saw the explanation and clicked right on by.

I am new to Linux. I need to install a package libstdc++.so.5. I think I would require RPM first in order to get this package installed.

After installing and configuring splashy, my system doesn't start. There appears the image of the theme I selected with splashy (which is the debian logo and a loading bar), but the bar doesn't load and it appears for just a second and then there's a black screen. When pressing F2 for text mode, it just stays at *Starting Boot splash manager splashy and nothing happens
BTW I use grub2 what can I do? should I edit /boot/grub/grub.conf? (I supose the file is there, isn't it?)
I thought i would be able to access and modify the files on my system with an ubuntu live cd, but I couldn't, is there another way to access the grub files to modify them if I can't boot debian? (and I don't have another OS installed)

I run a Home server using Debian, and have been using it as a backup server and using it to host a voice server. I wanted to try streaming music/video so I can enjoy music at remote locations, and I have used VLC media player before, but never on Linux. I located the VLC media player package on the Synaptics Package manger, and told it to download it along with the other additional packages, and it said it had to remove some old packages and incompatible ones as well, so I said go ahead. Well, the screen blanked out at some point during the installation process, so i rebooted the server. Now it will go thru the whole loading process, and where it is supposed to prompt me to log in, it gives me a grey background and my cursor, which does react, but nothing else happens, and the activity light on the server does not flash. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I would enjoy being able to log back into my server XD
I have some knowledge of how to use and work with Linux, but only from what I have read and messed around with.

I tried to build a bootable USB stick using Code: Select alldd if=~/Desktop/linux/debian-8.0.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m as mentioned here: URL... but this does not work on my MacBook 3.1, late 2007 model (yes, I am using rEFIt and my CD drive is dead). The error message upon trying to boot from the USB stick using rEFIt says something like 'unable to load bootia32.efi'.
The workaround: I took the "bootX64.efi" from here:URL... on the USB drive and renamed it as "boot.efi".I copied the "debian-8.0.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso" to "/efi/boot" on the USB drive and renamed it as "boot.iso".So now my USB stick has 2 files only: "/efi/boot/boot.efi" and "/efi/boot/boot.iso" and nothing else.Now I was able to boot from the USB stick get into a GRUB prompt.
Code: Select allloopback loop (hd0,1)/efi/boot/boot.iso
grubconfig (loop)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
The installer starts fine and I choose my locale, keyboard etc. until it starts to scan for the CD drive and I face...The error message says that a CD was not found (as expected).I fired up the shell offered by the installer and mounted the USB stick to "/mnt/usb" like this:
Code: Select allmount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/usb
It works and I can see my ISO file in "/mnt/usb/efi/boot/boot.iso".I tried to mount the ISO image to "/dev/cdrom":
Code: Select allmount -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/usb/efi/boot/boot.iso /dev/cdrom
waited for a while and killed (control + c) the process and found that my "/dev" folder has been flooded with files named like the string "loop" followed by some digits (loop1245, loop8766 etc.).Can the Debian installer be somehow tricked into believing that the ISO file on the USB stick is the mounted CD?

I have a 300GB RAID0 setup that already has Windows 7 on it. I shrunk the RAID0 disk within Windows disk management to make room for a Debian install. The thing is that I don't want to screw up the MBR and screw up windows. What is the command to install once I'm in the live cd and once I get a boot loader option what should I do as I already have windows 7?

So, I did the upgrade to Jessie today and everything went fine and I do like the gray look of the Gnome Classic Desktop. Not much change here.
But it is impossible for me to install the 3.16 kernel.
When I try, I get the following error (sry, it's german, but you should get the point):
Code: Select allE: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64_3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1_amd64.deb: Extrahierte Daten für »./lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/rc/winbond-cir.ko« können nicht nach »/lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/rc/winbond-cir.ko.dpkg-new« kopiert werden: Es konnte nicht geschrieben werden (Auf dem Gerät ist kein Speicherplatz mehr verfügbar)
It basically says, there is not enough space on /lib to copy the modules for the new kernel. (I have about 100M free there.)
df -h says:
Code: Select all/dev/dm-1 322M 209M 97M 69% /
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
/dev/dm-2 8,3G 5,6G 2,3G 72% /usr
/dev/sda1 228M 28M 188M 13% /boot
/dev/mapper/linux-var 2,8G 577M 2,1G 22% /var
/dev/mapper/linux-tmp 368M 11M 339M 3% /tmp
/dev/mapper/linux-home 58G 55G 628M 99% /home
So, as you can see, there isn't that much space on / at all - don't blame me, blame the Lenny Installer. Personally I can live with the 3.2 kernel but I wonder if there is any possibility to install the never one without a total re-partitioning.
