Debian :: Default Etch Filesystem Support Limited

Feb 17, 2011

about 2 weeks post-install, I find that my new debian etch machine has limited support for different filesystems. In the past, I've always seen support for riesers, xfs, ntfs, fat32, of course ext2/3,. I was trying to mount and read an old windows ntfs HDD, and there were problems, so I went to:
cat /proc/filesystems (see below).
Is there any way to get back support for other filesystems on my kernel, or do I need another kernel, or do i need to compile a new kernel? Maybe just install the system over again? (if I do, how do I select for filesystem support)...

blaster:~# cat /proc/filesystems
nodevsysfs
nodevrootfs
nodevbdev
nodevproc
nodevcgroup
nodevcpuset
nodevdebugfs
nodevsecurityfs
nodevsockfs
nodevpipefs
nodevanon_inodefs
nodevtmpfs
nodevinotifyfs
nodevdevpts
nodevramfs
nodevhugetlbfs
nodevmqueue
nodevusbfs

Ubuntu Security :: PHP Is Not Running Under Apache 2 And Limited By The Www-data Filesystem Access?

Jun 30, 2010

I'm about to have a web server at home for the first time. I've always missed having full control and not having to contact my hosting company when I need to do some specific changes - and some changes they won't do for you at all.I've chosen the non-GUI Ubuntu Server with LAMP, and nothing more is installed really except for a couple of command line tools from the repository. The LAMP software has been locked down as good as I can by following some guides on the net and using common sense. Like Apache 2 don't have access to the file system except for the www folder, and setting the headers to Prod. MySQL has skip-networking and I've commented out the listen string to localhost. PHP has a truckload of functions that I've disabled in the php.ini, also by following some guides on the net, among some other security enhancing php.ini editing.

The only thing the server will serve is a well known PHP forum and some html docs, and that's all. Nothing advanced or complicated stuff, and I'm definitely not programming PHP myself or letting anyone do it for me.But I do want to sleep well at night knowing that my server is always on and sitting on the edge of my home network! And can I do that? I've heard that you don't need to be worried about getting your Linux server box hacked, but you should be worried about anyone getting root access to it. But is it really that simple? Ubuntu is shipped without root account and you must have the sudo password, right? What's the odds for anyone to get full access to my system?An issue: I've heard that Apache never must run as root. When I do a ps -ef, I see that there are several www-data processes running apache, but there's one root process running apache too. Is this normal and is it safe?An issue: I've heard that PHP can fail pretty easily. But isn't PHP running under apache 2 and limited by the www-data filesystem access?An issue: MySQL is running as a MySQL user, and I guess that's an unprivileged user right?

Debian :: What Will Be Squeeze's Default Filesystem - Ext3 Or Ext4 ?

Apr 30, 2010

I'm wondering if anyone knows what will be Squeeze's default filesystem. Will it be the proven ext3 or the newer (sometimes faster, sometimes slower) ext4?

I currently have ext4 and I have nothing to complain about. In fact, my overall experience has been very positive. Ext4 is definitely faster when fsck runs during boot.

What would be the cons of having ext4 as default in Squeeze?

Debian Multimedia :: Ripping Mp3 Cd On Pressario And Debian Etch

Feb 2, 2010

I have an old compaq pressario (with a compaq cd/dvd player + HP cd writer/Reader) with Debian Etch and a gnome desktop, and I would like to extract the mp3 dvd a friend gave me (He made it from bittorrent). On a XP box the cd is played without problem but I would like to extract and play each song on Etch. I have Sound juicer which works allright for usual audio cd but not with this mp3 thing. I have tried to define a new profile with params I have found on the net for mp3 but up to now without success. I even don't know if it's a problem of hardware being too old, or if I could solved this with the appropriate software

Ubuntu :: Filesystem Support / Upgrading To 10.04

Apr 16, 2010

I am currently running Kubuntu 9.1, quite happily (triple booting macbook with snow leopard and Windows 7). I would like to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, but I have a few questions first. Correct me if I am wrong, but Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with the K Desktop Environment, no? So if I were to wipe my partition and install Ubuntu 10.04, I could then install the K Desktop Environment and have Kubuntu 10.04? (sudo apt-get install)

I have been trying to find a way to "see" my kubuntu partition while booted into either mac osx or windows. My kubuntu is currently using the ext4 filesystem though, and there are no drivers to make this work... Is it possible to install Kubuntu onto a filesystem other than ext2/3/4? Ideally I would like to install it onto NTFS, but i know in previous distros (6.1, 7.1) this was not possible. FAT 32 would work for me too,as my partition is only 15gb. Or does anyone know of any drivers for ext4 for mac and windows?

Debian :: Python 2.6.4 On Etch 4

Apr 15, 2010

I was able to compile python 2.6.5 on debian 4 etch successfully. The contents of /usr/share/python/python_defaults are now like this:

Typing "python" on terminal now starts the correct version which is 2.6.5.

The next thing I installed wxPython from wxWidgets repository. I followed the instruction explained here:

When installation was about to finish, I got this error:

I am sure something I have missed something before installing wxPython. It seems it's related to "python_defaults", but I am not sure.

Debian :: ETCH Usb Harddrive Mount

Jan 28, 2009

I have two ext3 drives recovered from a failed NSLU2 network file server. I need to recover some of the files stored on them, so...I attempted to mount them on my debian ETCH (LV file system), thus:

# mkdir /mnt/usbdrive

# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive

Instead of seeing the drive content I see my harddrive's GRUB & Kernel partition. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to see the drive's content?

Debian :: Install ETCH Over The Internet ?

Feb 17, 2010

I need to install Etch (not Lenny ) over the internet - but all my mirrors won't even entertain me. Is there a way to still install Etch over the 'net - as opposed to Lenny? I need Etch because of some specific software I am running - and I have to PXE boot (I've used the Etch netboot.tar.gz files).

Debian :: No Incoming Emails On Debian Etch

Mar 2, 2011

I have recently started working on our server. My knowledge about *nix systems is very limited, so I turn to the oh-so-friendly internet community for help.The server is running Debian Etch, postfix, courier and some other stuff. And suddenly out of the blue the emails from the internet are not being received. Emails being sent internally are being received and everyone can browse the internet.Host or domain name not found. Name service error for na$for name=xxx.xxx.xx.xx.list.dsbl.org type=A: Host not found, try again.Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I would love to get this thing fixed.

Debian :: Debian Etch - Virtual Server - GUI?

Jun 18, 2010

I am renting a virtual server which is running Linux Debian Etch. I have access through the root account.

I am very new to virtual servers, and also very new to Debian Etch. I am happy I found this forum when trying to research on the Internet.

The things I need to know are:
- Comes Debian Etch with a GUI (graphical user interface) which I can use on the rented virtual server?
- And if not, I would like to ask the community here if there are any GUIs which I could install to that server, and how?

I want to be able to access the server in a much easier way than to have to type each command. I want to use that server to host domains, as soon as I am more self-confident with Debian Etch.

Debian Configuration :: Xen On Lenny Making Etch Vms?

Why is my Xen server (An up-to-date Lenny box) making Xen DomUs as Etch boxes? I run a command such as:

This is 100% replicable. I certainly never asked it to create an Etch VM! I cannot find anything in the docs to change this. And for the record, I did let it finish creating it, and it most definitely made an Etch box.

Debian Configuration :: Install Postgresql-8.2 On 4 Etch ?

Jun 13, 2011

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)

Debian :: Etch / Lenny Package Differences?

Sep 15, 2010

Just to set the scene, I'm not a Linux expert, but am learning the hard way! I have a 6 server cluster that needs upgrading (this includes quite a few of our own packages), and am currently working on a spare server. Lenny is now installed, and my next problem is that libapache-template-perl doesn't seem to exist in Lenny. So, is there a definitive list of 'replacement' packages, if not what can I do about this one.

Debian Installation :: Upgrade Sarge To Etch To Lenny?

Mar 29, 2010

<Big Red Flashing Sign that reads, "NEWBIE with two Linux books and very little brain"> I just installed Sarge from a CD onto an old PC and ended up with Debian Linux 3.1, Kernel 2.4.

PC Specs:
Spacewalker Mainboard (AK31V3.1) SocketA AMD Athlon/Duron Processor based DDR Main Board
2x 256MG DDR DIM Q
350w power supply
NVIDIA GeForce AGP8X 6200 Graphics Card 256 MB RAM
Award Modular Bios v6.00PG 12/05/2003
LG Monitor
USB Mouse, Standard keyboard

I did not configure any servers or do any package selections but did manage to get the internet connection working (actually Debian managed that all by itself). I'd like to "upgrade" to Lenny.

Do I need to upgrade to Etch first or can I go straight to Lenny? At what point do I "upgrade" the kernel (before upgrading to Etch/Lenny? After?)

Debian Installation :: Etch To Lenny Libc Upgrade?

Apr 2, 2010

I'm trying to upgrade an etch system to lenny, I've updated my sources list to lenny and ran apt-get update. When I try apt-get install apt

apt-get install apt I get the following:

Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree. Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.  apt: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10+b1 is to be installed Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages

if I try apt-get install apt libc6, it wants to upgrade a whole heap of packages - will this be a safe thing to do ?

Debian Configuration :: Recommended To Upgrade From Etch To Squeeze?

Is it still recommended that I upgrade to Lenny and then Squeeze?
