I was previously running postgresql 8.3, but upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04, has installed postgresql 8.4 and I'm now unable to start 8.3. I don't mind using 8.4, but I need to recover the data from my 8.3 installation, But I'm not sure how to do this as I can't start the 8.3 server, and 8.4 can't read my old data directory.

I've been trying to configure Postgresql in Debian for some time now, in order to install a ERP program in my computer, but when trying to follow the tutorial for the program configuration I end up stalled. Basically its says this:
1) under su, start by finding the postgresql.conf file (it points the location of the file in /var/lib/postgres/data, but it isn't there) and find the line saying 'tcpip_socket' and changing it to "true"
After a little search and help, I found this file in /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/ but the mentioned line is absent, locate it or tell me where to add it in the file? I've read the file front to back and I'm pretty sure the line isn't there.This is, according to the tutorial, to enable the server to connect to a Java program through the JDBC.
2) after editing postgresql.conf, edit pg_hba.conf and add the following line to the end of the file: host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
I get stuck after this, because I'm now supposed to restart the server by using '/etc/init.d/postgresql restart', but bash replies that the path is invalid. The program I'm trying to install is hosted here: [URL]. It's a portuguese ERP program.
I'm going on to install my old application running on specific old configuration (debian 4 etch) into my virtual machine...
This time, i'm hurting a new problem while installing postgresql in the release 8.2 (not 8.3, nor 8.4, neither 9.x cause my application will run only on 8.2).
Logging in root, i enter this (like in 2008) :
But today (year 2011 with old etch), when i enter this i got the error message than it cant find this paquets ! off course i did my apt update before.
So, what can i do ? i really need to install the exactly 8.2 release (even 8.2.21 will be good)
I've been setting up a Lenovo Thinkpad T420i and have gotten most of the kinks worked out, except for the fact that the display has some annoying artifacts as you navigate around, I guess due to bad video support. A post [URL].. on the same machine said that upgrading all X packages to sid (unstable) fixed these problems, but those packages aren't available in stable.
I read another post (can't find the link now) that said Debian wasn't planning on backporting all the X packages, only related libraries and modules. And I don't know which ones specifically would fix the issues I'm having.
So I thought I'd ask what my options are. I could update all those to unstable, but that doesn't seem optimal (and in the future I don't want unstable bugs bringing down my whole X session). Is there a way to find out what I need and backport some myself. Or do I just need to wait until the appropriate packages filter down to stable (or at least backports)?

What do i have to do so it only updates with the stable release I am planning to use it as a server and only want stable fixes.
I don't mean this to be in any way a critical post but I've recently switched to Debian from numerious other distros because of it elidged stability and speed. However I'm using the stable version and frequently have to reboot for certain things to work and frequently multimedia based programs crash on me. I've installed the repo from debian-multimedia.org so I don't know if that's causeing any problems. It crashes on me multiple times a day. Now it's not the OS itself which is the problem I'm sure but more the software in the repos. However it was my udnerstanding that this software was pretty darn well tested.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhat is meant by "stable" and "conservative"? I hear these adjectives get used a lot in reference to Debian.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to install Debian Stable 8 Jessie. I've tried the main website, of course, first. But there are a lot of options there to download Debian 8: CD, DVD, Live etc. I downloaded debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso and I booted live in VirtualBox. It boots fine and the operating system looks in order.
Questions/problems:
1. The desktop icon for the installer says "Install Debian sid". But from what I know "sid" is unstable version. I do not want unstable, nor testing. I just want normal Stable. Did I got the wrong version? The website is a bit confusing about which version is which.
2. How do I check the md5 of the iso? I know how to do that with other distros, they usually specify it near the download link and I can execute in terminal the command 'md5sum' followed by the specific linux distro iso and then compare the numbers. But I can find no such thing for Debian. I searched the website but could not find any clear info.
3. After I install, what should I do in order to make Iceweasel work with Flash and multimedia codecs? I also need Skype and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
And if I enable these non free, do I get automatic updates for them like for the rest of standard Debian software? Or, if not, what should I do?
The idea is that I want a system that is as stable and bug free as possible, but I won't use many apps beyond these ones. I don't need the latest and greatest software as long as these get security updates. Should I be ok with this configuration?

I am trying to keep a stable system (after a date with the unstable version which broke everything ) but a package (namely deluge) is horribly out-of-date. It is better in the unstable packages.I read the official documentation with the preferences file, pinning and the rest of the apt zoo but after a few tests I am still there with my old deluge in my stable environment.(in reality I managed to upgrade deluge by swapping the sources.list file with one with only the unstable repositories -- but this is not a particularly clever approach)I would be very grateful if someone could give me the right content for the preferences file which would allow to keep the system at stable level, except for the deluge package which should be updated to the newest, bleeding edge version.

If that's not possible, can I download the source from ALSA's website and build a package myself?
