Debian :: How To Upgrade To Wheezy

May 20, 2011

I got "stuck" with stable up to now and want to upgrade to Wheezy. But, although I've done this before, I'm having a dependency problem I wanted to ask about before breaking my system somehow. This is the /etc/apt/sources.list, ready for Wheezy:

[URL]

So, I regularly use aptitude as my package manager. After updating the database with aptitude update, trying aptitude full-upgrade gives me a huge of conflicts.

[code]....

But, if I use apt-get dist-upgrade, I get no conflicts. if I dist-upgrade with apt-get, will that affect my daily usage of aptitude (which I prefer)? I know APT is a single database and apt-get and aptitude are just different interfaces, but I guess differences might rise when marking packages as automatically or manually installed.

Debian :: How Well Does Upgrade Work

Aug 10, 2011

I'm evaluating Debian for use as my main system (on my laptop). Currently I'm using arch linux, and am pretty satified except the need for too much manual configuration. What I'm looking for a system, which is similar to arch in that, but is more automated when it comes to configurations:

- can be build from a minimal base, with only the software that is needed, sort of "tailored" to my own needs; the system will therefore be relatively lightweight, with no unnecessary things consuming resources)

- does not require fiddling to much in configurations (I agree that some degree is necessary, due to the tailoring)

- handles well upgrades (this is where arch looks really promising, due to the rolling release, even with the disadvantage of loosing some of the stability)

One of the things I did not like about arch was the feeling to have a system which is built from several pieces that don't quite fit together. I guess that it is a consequence of the fact that some things are not configured right, or configured at all.

Debian Multimedia :: Kde Upgrade To 4.5.x

Nov 27, 2010

Today I had a problem with kde. meanwhile i try to solve it (I was unable ) I saw that I have an old version of KDE. I would pass to the last version (I think 4.5.3. Is it this?) But, for my low capacity I would made it by a packed environment. My question is: Where do i can try a packet that let me upgrade it? (4.5.3 or 4.5.2). Do I have to upgrade my source.list? Or can I upgrade with another command?

Debian :: Gdm Won't Come Up After Kernel Upgrade?

Aug 19, 2010

I'm running Lenny with the default kernel 2.6.26. I recently got a wireless card supported by the ath9k driver, so I followed the instructions on this site:http://wiki.debian.org/ath9kwhich had me install a 2.6.32 kernel image from lenny-backports. Everything installed fine without errors, but when I rebooted after the install, after the kernel messages scrolled by and the screen would normally switch to the gdm login screen, all I got was a blank screen with some distorted squares. I used Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switched to a shell and everything looked fine, but when I Ctrl-Alt-F7ed back to X, I got another black screen with distorted images. Any idea what could have caused this from the kernel upgrade, and what I can do?Edit:Here is the end of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log after booting:

(EE) fglrx(0): PPLIB: PPLIB is not initialized!.
(EE) fglrx(0): PPLIB: swlPPLibNotifyEventToPPLib() failed!
(EE) fglrx(0): ulEventType = 0000000c, ulEventData = 00000001

Debian :: No Internet - Upgrade From 5.0 To 5.0.6?

Debian :: Pinning Prior To Upgrade

Sep 9, 2015

I am thinking about upgrading, again, from Wheezy to Jessie. When I had Jessie installed, prior to a crash, I noticed that some of the Gnome games in Jessie are not as esthetically pleasing as they were in Wheezy. Also, some of the games (eg. mines) were slower and seemed to use a lot more CPU resources. So my questions are:

1. If I pin those programs that I want to keep will that also pin the dependencies for those programs?
2. If those dependencies are pinned, how might that impact other programs, in Jessie, that might depend on later packages?
3.If I don't pin those programs that I want to keep is it possible to install those programs from Wheezy after I upgrade to Jessie, without causing issues with Jessie?

Debian :: Autoremove After Upgrade To Stretch

Jan 31, 2016

I recently upgraded my Debian box from Jessie to Stretch. After this, apt informed me that I should issue "apt-get autoremove," however the package list to be effected was large and contained some important packages (xorg being just one example). Most of the packages are qt4 related, and I at first assumed qt5 equivalents had replaced them, but seeing network-manager and xorg in the list made me pause.

Debian :: Can't Upgrade From Lenny To Squeeze

Sep 15, 2010

I run into a problem when trying to update from lenny to squeeze. Seems that util-linux fails to install due to some error and that this causes xorg as well as udev to fail. If this is the case then it might be a bug in the post-installation script for util-linux..Am I on the right track or is it completely wrong?

Debian :: Lost Sound After Upgrade?

Nov 1, 2010

I'm running 32bit Lenny on an older Dell Dimension 2400 running the 2.6.26 Kernel. This box was mainly used to play movies for my son over the network (most are encoded by me using xvid and lame). One of my kids wanted to use the computer to watch videos on ...... I attempted to install the flashplugin-nonfree from the backports and it kept timing out on downloading the package, so I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. I rebooted and tried the flashplugin-nonfree again and finally got ..... videos to play but there was no sound. I assumed it was a permission issue, so I switched users and attempted to play some of the movies which I've played before and currently the video plays fine but the audio sounds very ugly. I attempted to play an mp3 using mpg123 from the command line and I get mostly static. You can hear some sound but it's all jumbled and there is a lot of static. I have a creative soundblaster card using the EMU10k1 driver. Everything was working fine before I started mucking with the flashplugin and I'm afraid something I "upgraded" may have caused my issue.

Any suggestions? Is there a way I can remove any sound related drivers etc and attempt to reinstall them? I attempted to run sudo alsaconf but afterwards, it acts like there is no sound card. a reboot resolves that issue as I didn't save any changes, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've become spoiled by all of the newer distros which detect all of my hardware and everything is configured for me.

Debian :: Errors After Upgrade To Squeeze

Dec 28, 2010

I just upgraded to Debian Squeeze (from Lenny) and there are several errors occuring.

The first one is that whenever I want to use mplayer it gives me the following output:

Maybe that has to do with faulty drivers, I'm not sure yet.

What's bugging me a little bit more is whenever I start a shell like konsole or xterm it displays the following:

It roughly translates to:

A third problem is when I try to use something like mplayer or java and then try the tab completion I get yet another error.

Which would be:

So I get "bash: _get_comp_words_by_ref: command not found", however it's not like that with all of my applications. Tab completion after the command "vlc" for example works just fine.

I have a Debian Lenny LAN Gateway machine running shorewall, squid and a source install of ossec in the opt dir. The machine is an Intel Atom based asus hummingbird with no gui. It works well and has been very stable so far. However, i am considering upgrading to Squeeze. Is it feasible to attempt to upgrade this machine, or am i realistically looking at a reinstall and reconfigure with Debian Squeeze over a long weeked?

Debian :: Update-Manager To Upgrade

May 2, 2011

Before you answer I am just curious about this. I certainly would never do this nor recommend it. However because I have never tried this I was curious if it actually would happen.At the end of Lenny, would it pop up in the update-manager-gnome that a new release "Squeeze" is available? I am just curious.
