Software :: Installing Display Driver On Debian Lenny Amd64
Jul 8, 2009
I installed the new debian_lenny_5.0.1_amd64 x64, i am having a nVidia Geforce 8500 GT 512 RAM display card. I was trying to install the driver using the synaptic package manager. I installed them, but i was not able to use the driver. I don't know where the drivers are installed and how to use it. I checked the xorg.conf , and the nVidia driver is not listed there. how to install them .
Using VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.10. Processor is Intel Q8200 Debian amd64 ISOs should work on my system but I had to resort to i386, which installed flawlessly despite a couple of kernel panics once X started. I don't think the problem is VirtualBox and I'm about to reboot and try loading the CD normally to see if that works.
I have tried these approaches (atleast these two) as mentioned in the following
url url
I have used other approaches as and when I found them and have used them in a haphazard manner. I am currently not sure about all that I have done.
I can see some flash videos ( presently only some on .....) while I cant see many others. I would want to configure flash so that I can enjoy the videos.
Here is some details about my system UshRaj:/home/raja# lshw -short H/W path Device Class Description system System Product Name /0 bus M4A78-E /0/0 memory 64KiB BIOS code....
I have just installed Debian "Lenny" AMD64 in my PC, but I can't find a compatible flash player for AMD64 in the adobe site, the only version I found is for i386.
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?
I at trying to get my Intuos 3 installed on Debian Lenny AMD64. I installed both the xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools. The problem is that the tablet works like a mouse. I have to press down and move the pen for it to work. In Windows, I can just hover over the tablet without making contact and it will move the cursor. Also, it isn't calibrated to the screen.
I put "wacom" in /etc/modules. Here is my xorg.conf though

I have a dual boot computer. I seem to be having a bit of a problem with Grub lately. Every time I do any kind of update in Debian Lenny AMD 64 it borks my Grub. The first time I had to change a few lines in menu.lst (hd1,1 to hd0,1), no problem. The second time, things went downhill fast and G-Parted was giving me errors on my NTFS partitions. I had to do an XP repair, fixboot, and I had to reinstall Grub completely to the MBR.
Now, I having a "Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait.... Error 22". All I did was update Debian Linux and shut down. From my initial searches this is an error relating to not finding the correct partition. I have booted with a G-Part CD and it shows all my partitions. I do have a Windows XP Home boot cd if I need it. Here is my partition outline if you need it:
/dev/sda1 NTFS (Windows) flags--boot /dev/sda2 Ext3 (Linux) /dev/sda3 FAT32 (shared space between Windows and Linux) /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 linux-swap
Using squeeze with a GeForce4 MX 440 video card (NVIDIA) I have a monitor (4/3 aspect ratio, 1024x768 usually), and a TV connected via S-video After installing the NVIDIA driver using the NVIDIA binaries I managed to have a cloned twin screen configuration working.
However, the monitor is (wrongly) detected as having size 1824x768 (aspect ratio is widescreen) Using system monitor, I can set the correct size, but only for one session; besides, the login screen too is messed up the xorg.conf file seems right: proper resolution modes are set; xorg.0.log too
I'm trying to install Atheros AR9485 wireless card driver on debian, and I had no luck.
I followed this [URL] .... to install backports kernel version. The wireless card worked, however, intel display driver displayed the color in the wrong way.
Red pixels are green, and green are yellow. It was displayed like when someone try to connect a PAL system to a TV that supports only NTSC.
I installed the Nvidia driver for the on board GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a the "Debian way", according to this link Debian Nvidia Howto. The problem is that the only available screen resolutions are 640x480 & 320x240 and I need something more like 1024x768. The driver is installed correctly, or at least is properly recognized, as in Nvidia Xserver settings, GPU0 appears as GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a.
..only causes gdm not to start.On my Ubuntu partition, I have working the proprietary Nvidia driver (file: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run), and have had no problems from it at all. I was going to install this same driver onto Debian when I read several pages advising to go the "Debian way".
Yesterday I installed Debian "succesfully" (after some problems that were easily solved), but now I need some help with installing drivers and other stuff. I need to install the Conceptronic wireless card (rt61). I followed a guide I found on the Internet, but, when making the installation, Terminal gives me some errors.
make make[1]: gets in the directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64' Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 0 modules

Another thing I don't know if I installed correctly are the nVidia drivers. I think I installed them succesfully, because my graphics card is now quiet (when the drivers are not installed, it sounds like a nuke) and I have the nVidia settings installed, but... when I try to modify the resolution in Preferences/Monitor, I see "Unknown monitor" and "50hz refresh rate". My TV suports 75hz and when I installed Debian I had it at 75, but after installing the nVidia drivers, everything gone wrong.
I tried to update the xorg.conf with nVidia-settings, and now it says my monitor is at 75hz and it's a Phillips, but I still see Unknow monitor and 50Hz at Preferences/Monitor. Why does this happens? Also, my integrated sound card doesn't work. When I try to open a MP3 file, It opens correctly, but my speakers don't work. And the last thing is... Compiz doesn't work! Well, nothing about Desktop Effects work. I also don't know where should I set up those Desktop Effects (I know how in Ubuntu, but in Debian...).

Normally I say yes and hope for good, but this time... I do not use adobe flash player, but I would still like to watch ..... videos. Would be hard without gnash, right? I use iron portable and iceweasel. Also I use totem a lot, but aptitude seems not being able to resolve this inconsistency automatically. My question is: what would happen, if I just say "y"? gnash is completly away? And is there any way to install newer version of gnash or do whatever to have everything working?
I have bought a BrotherHL-1110 laser printer. But there is no driver on my system. I have downloaded source code but don't understand how to compile it. (
It does only exist driver-packages for 32 bits: hl1110cupswrapper-3.0.1-1.i386.deb and hl1110lpr-3.0.1-1.i386.deb)
My system is: Release 7.8 (wheezy) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 GNOME 3.4.2 AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor × 2

How do I compile and install it on my computer ? ( Or get the printer working ? )
I am running Debian Lenny and just upgraded via "apt-get upgrade" yesterday and all appears to be fine, except I noticed that when I ping something from a terminal window, it only displays successful pings and does not show the failed ones. When the pings fail, I have to "Ctrl-C" to see the results and cannot see them in real-time. It's not a huge problem, but I'd still like to be able to see immediate results even when pings fail.
Example is below:

Im running Ubuntu 10.10 on an Nvidia ION gpu. I've installed the latest driver using the built in driver tool and by downloading from nvidia. Both times this has been the result at every resolution:[URL]
I would like to install slimrat on debian Lenny 64 but I don't understand the steps I've found on the Internet. This software is useful to download files from Rapidshare.
i have udftools_1.0.0b3.orig.tar.gz and udftools_1.0.0b3-14.diff.gz with me. how can i compile and install it ? i do not have an internet access on my desktop pc..
I've recently started trying out Debian 5 coming from Ubuntu. I'm very much in love with KDE 4.4 now they've fix it so it actually runs. but I'm unable to install it on Debian 5.
Right now I have Debian 5.0.3 on an Asus Eee netbook, and it's running KDE 3.5.x. I installed this from a Disk marked Debian, Official CD KDE i386, Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 "Lenny" (I bought the entire 33 CD set.)
I've tried to install KDE 4.x via synaptic, using the kdebase-runtime-bin-kde 4:4.1.0-2.
Even after a 3h download and install, it still boots with KDE 3.x. There is no switching to KDE 4.x in the KDM as well.
I've been unable to find a repository. I thought about using a Ubuntu KDE install, but after reading some posts here, I thought I'd better ask your opinions first. (Which I should ask too. if I see programs I like in Ubuntu, should I just compile them from tarballs instead of the .DEB binary to make sure they work in Debian 5?)
Should I wait till Debian.org actually puts KDE 4.x on their repositories (I hear the next version will have KDE 4.5.x on disk.)

I have an Acer Aspire 6930 laptop that I'm setting up for my wife with Debian Lenny. It has an Intel 5100 wireless card. I'd like to get a driver for the card without having to install a new kernel.
I have been asked to install Windows 7 on a computer that groans to even run Windows xp properly. As I know, this is like asking for the impossible, I am posting here to have some opinions about the use of Wine in Debian. In particular, I would like to know whether wine makes Debian less secure and more vulnerable to viral, malware, adware, etc infections.
I am trying to install Debian from a USB stick (which was prepared by unetbootin). The installer / kernel loads, and setup runs fine until It searches for a CD-ROM drive. My computer doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, but the net install ISO has been burned onto my USB stick. Is there some way that I can mount my USB stick as the cd-rom drive? it's of type FAT32 if it matters.
Durring attempts to install Haguichi, Terminal says "Version of libmono-system2.0-cil on system is 1.9.1+dfsg-6." I have used "sudo apt-get -i libmono-system2.0-cil" only to be told during that install that I "have the latest version alread installed." Do I need to uninstall 1.9.1+dfsg-6 ?
i was going to do this project of installing Debian on a NAS Intel SS4000e . The part i got stuck is that i cannot stop the Redboot from booting up. i.e using CTRL+C. The NAS uses the latest firmware from Intel Ver1.4 . The serial cable is tested and i used the following pin out [URL]... nsoleCable and the comport settings are as follows
I'm running 64-bit Debian lenny, and am trying to run a 32-bit program that requires libGLEW. I've installed libGLEW using apt-get install libglew1.5, but when I try to run the program I get the error: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
It seems the default install of libGLEW is in 64-bit mode, and the program can't use the 64-bit libraries. It looks like I need to install libGLEW in 32-bit mode, but I've no idea how to do that.
