View 3 RepliesI am still running Debian Lenny and have found that the curl version 7.18 is just too outdated for my needs, I would rather not do an upgrade just yet to the stable release of squeeze. I was looking for some information on how I could install a newer version of curl and libcurl without breaking my system.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI wish to install debian on a number of boxes and have resolved on a network install. I'll first do a minimal install using the network install iso on a usb stick, then reboot and complete the installation using a local caching repo (apt-cacher) on the LAN. As a way of further minimizing bandwidth usage, I wonder if I could extract the .debs from a full installation cd and use them to populate the local repo?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to install multiple system languages on ubuntu, hopefully 10.10, since I'll be upgrading pretty soon? I'm a native spanish speaker, so I currently use my system in spanish, but when I see the option at log in to change the language, I'm wondering if that will change the system language as well. Menus, man pages if they exist, etc? I'd like to be able to install numerous languages and switch between them, either at log in or actually from within my system. How's Arabic and Italian support as well, does anyone know?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't find the place to set the system to keep multiple kernels. For the first time in a long time, updates are giving me grief. I've kept the last working nvidia driver in case I need it.
Now I would like to keep one old kernel when I update to the new one. I had a lab rat that never got rid of old kernels and that was too much. It is possible to keep the last working kernel when you update, isn't it?
I am unable to Install Fedora10 in my system as one of the multiple operating systems and it gets hanged after probing for Hardware devices and so ...I get fedora trademark sought of symbol and even after waiting any amount of time it doesnt go further..neither the keyboard works nor the mouse pointer moves... I am stuck at this screen shown in the installation screenshot...I get this screen however I dont get the options back or next or its that I am unable to see this options on the screen at all and mouse gets hanged and even keyboard doesnt work...
[code]....
Initially after booting with the media it doesnt even prompt me to press any key to boot from CD or Dvd or I get any screen to select the option for the mode of installation like text based installation or graphical installation..it hardly shows me this screen for even a fraction of second as well...
It takes me to the screen
1) Install or upgrade fedora
2) rescue existing installation...
3)
4) Memory test
when I click on install fedora I am taken to the fedora splash screen and nothing goes ahead... I tried in rescue mode as well... In rescue mode it asks me for language selection...keyboard layout... later it doesnt go ahead as well... I have checked the installation media and it confirmed that the installation media is good... I use Redhat 4.1 version and It works fine except for the message drivers/usb/hid.c core message received at :75 while trying to restart shutdown or access a virtual console... Along with Redhat and while trying to install fedora I have windows server 2008,Windows vista on that harddisk...
I have used apt-cacher successfully for a long time on my home LAN. Its been great but after a recent server crash I decided to switch to apt-cacher-ng due to reports of lower memory footprint and faster response. Thats all well and good and after just a little mucking around it seems to be working.
But there are a few old (but still current) debs that I am having trouble importing into the apt-cacher-ng cache. Most of them were picked up after adding all the repos to my client and running apt-get update. But there are still a few that aren't.(the 2 biggest ones are from the same repo).My client machine runs apt-get update without fault but when I import (using the apt-cacher-ng web interface) it lists all the repos (including the one these debs should be in) but isn't importing any more of the debs. There are no errors showing.
I've been compiling stuff with the usual ccmake . make and make install for a while now, but now I'm starting to compile suites of applications, such as Calligra (Koffice). Is there any easy way to have the compilation spit out several .debs for the various components?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am helping a friend start with Ubuntu and he doesn't have as fast an Internet connection as I do. I was wondering how I could easily download all the deb packages for the software I want to install for him. It seems doing:
sudo apt-get install -d --reinstall <package>
Will download the packages for me, but it doesn't get the dependencies because I have already downloaded them... is there a way to get apt-get to get the dependencies as well?
I'm running lucid, and I want GIMP, because it's what I used when I was packing Windows but, I'm not sure what I need as far as the .debs go, or the order to do it in, as I'm sure there's things that have to be installed before others, and I have no internet at my home, which is why I'm doing things the hard way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in a bit of a rush so thought I'd ask two questions in one thread here.
1. Will a .deb made for ubuntu likely run into much trouble if I run it on Lenny?
2. Does the nvidia official proprietary driver come by default with a full 5-DVD install of x64 Debian 5.0.4, or do I need to install it myself? If so, is it enabled by default, or do I need to enable it? How?
I'm having some issue running a wine application, this seems to not start 'cause of some missing libraries.
So I tried to locate those and the only one I found is this:
# locate libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
These others don't show any result, but I checked and all the corresponding deb pkgs are installed (both amd64 and i386):
libx11.so.6
libxext.so.6
libgl.so.1
libc.so.6
What do you think I can do to resolve? I aleady tried a reinstall. Not tried to purge 'cause apt asks to remove half of the system.
How do I force recompilation of the kernel .deb packages. After a small change I make to the sources without having to clean the sources and recompile the whole kernel again?
Code: Select all$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_i386_none_686
$ fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686 binary-indep
Calling the second command again does not recompile the modified code, just recreates the .deb packages.
If I use:
Code: Select all$ make -f debian/rules clean before the build command, then it will recompile everything which takes ages.
How can I force recompilation of the files/objects I changed (and dependencies)?
I use this guide: [URL] .... ('Building only a single kernel variant' section)
I'm using Debian 503 Lenny, Gnome. My machine, She-Beast, is a 2001 Compaq Presorry-o, 1100GHz Celery. With every, that is, E V E R Y, attempt to install any .deb, it fails. When I 2x click on the .deb icon, or when I r-click -->Open with archive manager, I get a dialog window:

If I use root terminal, dpkg -i, similar responses come up.
The problem is: after i typed: cat </dev/urandom (i think it inserted a controll character where i cant find it)at my bash prompt (sh and python are fine) and only once per prompt before the line should break it just starts at the beginning of the same line and overwrites itsself (only on the screen its interpreted as typed) .This really bugs me because i love working with bash and i don't want to reinstall the system.I tryed reinstalling bash and readline without success.is there any config files i could check? my PS1=e[44m[e]0;u@h: wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ e[0m
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy krunner keeps breaking? Sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn't.
Here's the error message.
Code:
I started using 10.10 a few months ago and had very few problems aside from a few minor issues with Wine. I frequently used Skype under 10.10 and it ran perfectly with no issues whatsoever.
Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and well... basically things have just gone downhill from there.
Over the past few days Skype has been ridiculously unstable, I'll be talking to somebody using text chat and it will essentially freeze up. These freezes can occur within minutes of starting Skype and are very infuriating. I am still able to type and send messages but the "message not sent" icon will appear next to each of them and the timestamp on each message will be identical (the messages in question will not send even after a restart of Skype). This problem will persist until I force-quit the application, closing it normally will not work and often I have to restart my computer entirely before it will work again.
I have tried updating to the latest version of Skype to no avail (if anything I think it has made matters worse, but that may just be my imagination.)
I'm not particularly command savvy, just posting on the off chance that anybody has encountered the same problem or has found a relatively simple fix. I don't really want to have to re-install the entire OS just to roll back to 10.10.
Is there a way to uninstall all the bloat without breaking ubuntu? It seems like some things (banshee, the calendar, ubuntu one) are integrated with the notifcations and probably other areas too. I think last time I uninstalled them, the calendar was still there in the notifications but clicking a date did nothing, and I'm sure there were other leftover goodies that I didn't take time to find before re-fresh-installing ubuntu. I think ubuntu has a lot of potential as a linux distro, but I'm not interested in their promoted software (i.e. libreoffice)
Another question: when you install an application in windows and then uninstall it, there remain uninstalled changes to your system (leftover icons, links, shortcuts, folders, files, registry entries) like the uninstaller was drunk on the job. Is this fixed in ubuntu or are there remnants of everything you uninstall?Also comments welcome on what you consider both bloat and safe to uninstall.
Everything works great at the moment, no hardware problems or anything like that. But whenever I enable the proprietary nVidia driver 185, it causes the boot screen to not come up, Ubuntu stops recognising my sound-card and refuses to work and when I try to shut down or restart, it just takes me back to the log in screen. When I remove the driver, everything works okay again.

On my Sid box, I did an update and it appears it also updates udev's rule set that doesn't like the notion of dm-crypt or LVM. For example:
Code:
trilarian@Debian-Desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dm-1 9.9G 2.4G 7.1G 26% /
tmpfs 438M 0 438M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 192K 9.9M 2% /dev
tmpfs 438M 0 438M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 94M 83M 12M 88% /boot
/dev/dm-2 1008M 630M 328M 66% /var
/dev/dm-3 600G 291G 310G 49% /home
When I used to run df I would get lvm/dm name instead of number, like:
Code:
/dev/mapper/raid-root 9.9G 2.4G 7.1G 26% /
What I need to change in udev to restore the old function?
