Tjena,

Just nu så vet vi inte - vi har en call-for-papers ute - men tar gärna
emot andra förslag. Vi hade exempelvis ett Debian bug-squashing-party
som var populärt innan pandemin.

Re: Re: No upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 with apt update/upgrade

[Johan Kröckel]

Hi Klaus,

thank you but dist-upgrade had the same result.

'~# rm -R /var/lib/apt/lists/*; apt update; apt upgrade' worked.

Still don't know what was wrong...

Thanks again

Johan

Re: Re: Re: No upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 with apt update/upgrade

[Johan Kröckel]

Thank you very much!

2) ~# rm -R /var/lib/apt/lists/* did the trick!

Btw:
1) That's not Ubuntu but the Signal desktop client and the correct
repository. Confuses me all the time as well.

Package selection for bugreport (suspend, BIOS option, Interrupt remapping)

[Johan Kröckel]

Hi,
my system (Thinkstation c20) does not wake up from suspend to ram when
"Interrupt remapping" is enabled in BIOS. Took me some time to find the
problem and I wanted to report a bug. Towards which package should I report
it?
System is Buster.

Question about changed logout behavior.

[Johan T-Katiska]

Hi there, since starting using testing a month or so ago my xsession
behavior (I pressume) seem to have changed. I get logged out
automatically after exiting 'X'. I actually read that one person
experienced the same thing about a week ago. Debian user, used testing
and within the same time-frame as me.

I can't remember where but first-hand guesses: reddit, stackoverflow or
something like it. I've looked for it again, but can't find it. Sorry.

I'm not really sure where to go next and I'm I suspect that it's an
intentional change in some package. I guess next in line would be that I
need to configure something and lastly a bug. I still have no idea what
package is involved however.

I've scraped the bottom of the barrel regarding search engines,
conf-files, etc. I've guessed and read any leads I could find. Initial
culprits I suspected: xsession, bash as login shell, systemd-logind and
my login scripts. I stopped when I reached threads and the like over a
decade old.

My scripts are basic and I don't do anything fancy. See bottom for an
edited outline of my '.xinitrc' file. My dot-files sets system editor
and a few basic standard things. 'shopt' rules. Right from the
documentation.

I use 'dwm', my routine is to start 'X', from the command-line after
login with the supplied 'startx' script. I don't use any scripts to
start 'X' automatically and the reason is that I tend to do a little
manual housekeeping at logout. Sometimes before I start 'X'. Definitely
if I'm troubleshooting. Sometimes I want to start 'X' briefly and
logout again. So I want the previous behaviour.

The 'unclutter'-part refers to this, not the repo one:
https://github.com/Airblader/unclutter-xfixes.

My scripts contain program options, output redirections and things that
would clutter '.xinitrc'. If they don't execute they fork to the
background or get killed off. Basic stuff. Nothing that deals with the
'xsession' itself that I can deduce by myself.

gtk problem after update

[Johan DS]

Hi
After an update of debian testing several days ago some applications crash.
Its clearly a gtk error.

for example mousepad:

(mousepad:4203): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:33:25.001: Could not load a pixbuf from
icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be
found.
**
Gtk:ERROR:../../../../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon:
assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load
/home/jods/.local/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/16x16/actions/image-missing.svg:
Error opening file
/home/jods/.local/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/16x16/actions/image-missing.svg:
No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)
[1]4203 abort  mousepad

I googled reinstalled some applications, tried some stuff but nothing seems
to work.

Anybody an idea?

thanks

Something eating diskspace in Testing

[Johan DS]

hi
I have testing installed with a separete /Home partition.

My root partition /dev/sda2 is slowly filling up. In a few hours it goes
from 7GB to 15GB.
Until there is no more space. I used ncdu. And also did
ls and finds for big files and/or directories . But I can not find a file
or directory that eats up space.

Any body a clou?

Who changed

[Johan DS]

Hi
I use the who command in my .zlogin for counting how many times I'm logged
in.
who | awk '$1 == "'$USER'"' | wc -l

previously the output was something like
user tty1
user pts/2
so user was 2 times logged in

However the who output seems to be changed in:

NAME   LINE TIME IDLE  PID COMMENT  EXIT
   system boot  2017-01-03 15:56
user - tty1 2017-01-03 15:58 01:521067
   run-level 5  2017-01-03 15:59
   pts/22017-01-03 17:22 14868 id=ts/2  term=0
exit=0

Does anybody knows an alternative so I can count my loggins again

Thanks

Annars finns ju Sailfish OS från Jolla. Inte Debian, men ändå fri Linux.

Sedan ska man ju inte glömma att Android är Linux. Det handlar väl mest om
att roota och sedan installera rätt saker (och undvika rätt saker) för att
kunna använda en Androidlur som linuxsystem.

Blijkbaar hangen de compose keys af van de locale
in dat geval kun je
dpkg-reconfigure locales
doen

Maar als ik het goed begrijp heb je een US keyboard layout en wil je een

Re: post-up in interfaces doesn't work

 Hello
 I have a brand new jessie setup in a KVM VPS.
 The server is in OVH network which needs manual routing applied.
 However the post-up and setting in the /etc/network/interfaces is not executed
 This is my interfaces file
 
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static

 post-down route del 192.99.39.254 dev eth0
 post-down route del default gw 192.99.39.254
 
 I've tried a simple 'echo working  /testfile.txt' line but the
 post-up or pre-up is not executed
 Is there anything I'm missing?
 
 Thanks
 
 

The following config should do the same but without the post-up/down
statements:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 198.50.210.32
netmask 255.255.255.255
pointopoint 192.99.39.254
gateway 192.99.39.254

(Do note the spelling of pointopoint)

As to why the post-* commands doesn't run, I have no idea.

 We received legal advice from Software Freedom Law Center about the

 det direkt i Debian vore helt perfekt.
 

Vet inte riktigt om libdvdcss kommer att komma med om man läser
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/04/msg00202.html


To distribute some mechanism to avoid copy protection such as DRM is 
illegal in Japanese law (Unfair Competition Prevention Act) since 2012.

It means that putting libdvdcss package into Debian repository causes 
problems in Japan, and most of organization that provides Debian mirror 
will _stop_ mirroring for Debian. Maybe libdvdcss is okay in other area, 
but not here in Japan.


vore lite tråkigt om dom inte kan ha speglar hos sig.

x265 är en hevc kodare. :D
problemet du ser är nog för att VLC kan inte spela upp filen på grund av att
libavcodec versionen i stable saknar stöd för H265 / HEVC.

Om du kör VLC i testing så borde du kunna spela upp filen iom dom använder 
libav v11 libavcodec56.
HEVC / H265 kom i version v10

[OT] Skänkes SUN E450

[Johan Björklund]

Hejsan,

ursäkta spammande, men jag hoppas någon entusiast är intresserad av en
gammal SUN-server.

Det är en Sun Enterprise E450 som önskar få ett nytt hem. Servern är 10+ år
och var i gång till november, men har mest blåst varmluft de senaste åren.
Körde Debian så klart.

Specifikation:

CPU: 4x SunSPARC IIe @ 450 MHz
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 4 st interna. iaf två är 72GB SCSI2. Finns gott om plats för
ytterligare diskar om man hittar ett bakplan.

Därtill en fullbestyckad Sun D1000 extern disklåda med, vad som verkar,
36GB Ultra160-diskar (har inte varit inkopplad på länge).

Medföljer en konsollkabel så man kan komma åt servern på serieporten
(9600,8,N,1), men en USB-seriell behövs.

Allt som allt väger detta runt 100kg och enda villkoret för att få allt
detta till skänks är att du kommer och hämtar och bär ut detta från min
lägenhet i Årsta, Stockholm. Jag bor på 1:a våningen så det är inte många
trapport att forcera, däremot en liten bit att bära fram till lastplats.

Om du fixar bärhjälpen men har problem med transport kan jag vara
behjälplig att transportera det hela inom Storstockholm.

Med hopp om att slippa köra denna server till skroten.

Re: How to install Debian 7 to external hard disk

Hi,


Is there a preferred way to install Debian 7
from DVD to an external (USB) hard disk ?

Euh... just install it on that disk? ;-)


The whole external hard disk is to be used instead of the internal hard disk.

Ok, no problem.


This is to  experiment with the new release (and discover fish hooks like
graphics that don't work) while leaving the internal hard disk with the
production Debian 6 on it completely alone.

Sensible.


One then boots from either the external hard disk or the internal hard disk.

Yes and no, but read on.


To set this up, at what stage in the install process does one actually put the 
new release on to the external disk ?

When it asks which disk to set it up to and whether you want to do the 
partitioning yourself (manual) or guided.


Does one need to also tell the install program where to put grub ?
or does it do that automatically ?

You just stated above you have a production version of Debian on the internal 
disk, so it has Grub already. The new installation on the external disk just 
needs to be added to the existing Grub config. The installer should do that for 
you.


Is there any other special configuration one needs to do to properly
put the new release on to the external hard disk ?

Not that I know of.


It is vastly preferable not to unplug the internal hard disk or otherwise 
disrupt the functioning system.

No, the installer needs to access the Grub config on that disk. Unplugging it 
would also change the name of the disks (sda, sdb, etc) and might interfere 
with the installation or later on with running it, although it should not when 
using the default disk labels.


Of course the internal hard disk will be backed up before the attempted install 
...

Yes, please do so. ;-)

Bonno Bloksma



Good day,
I have been doing this for years. Run 5 different linux flavours on 
different usb drives.

It works fine.
My windows drive is in the laptop.
IMPORTEND..

Pick the correct drive and partition to install.
Pick the correct drive and mbr to install boot loader.
Otherwise it will mes-up your windows mbr.
Unless this is where you want to install the boot loader.

Good day,
Here is a script that I use to migrate from debian to any other OS.
But modify it to suit your circumstances.
Been doing it for years.
By just changing you can do the reverse.
From thunderbird to thunderbird is the same just change the hidden file 
names for the systems.
After the transfer when you first time start thunderbird it will check 
your additions etc.


rsync -av  /media/johan/trans-3/sam-all/home-all/.icedove/ 
/home/johan/.thunderbird/


I play around with about five different OS'ses and do this from my 
master OS.

Like firefox, gnucash, all other files I would like to transfer.
Do this with scripts.

Re: Converting a running system to a VirtualBox VM

So, does anyone know of a way to convert my current system to a
Virtualbox VM? Or would it be better to just create a new machine and
install from scratch? Getting Citrix Receiver running properly always
seems to be a hassle, so I thought that converting my current system
might be easier. Any suggestions?




http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idp0176

I _think_ you _might_ want to try booting to a live-cd, and run 
something like


VBoxManage convertfromraw /dev/sda/ vboximage.vdi

Then try to boot the vboximage.vdi disk in vbox.

When I used it, I did roughly:

dd if=/dev/sda of=diskimage.dd
VBoxManage convertfromraw diskimage.dd vboximage.vdi

I have only tried it once, but it worked much better than I had expected 
(yes, I was more pessimistic than I should have been).

The information about skype on the debian wiki seems to indicate that 
apt-get -f install is the solution. It worked for me for skype.



From https://wiki.debian.org/skype:
-

First, you will have to enable Multi-Arch:

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update

Then, download the i386 package as above and install:

# wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
# dpkg -i skype-install.deb

If you then proceed with

# apt-get -f install

quite a few i386 packages will be installed.

With priority up to 100, the packages from experimental will not be

explicit upgrade requests.


As packages from experimental are experimental and may break your system

packages seems like a good idea to me.


look at man apt_preferences or search for docs on apt pinning for

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:

As an exercise in multiarch I tried installing
google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb in according to
http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Multiarch.

Has anybody actually accomplished that?

What I ended up with is:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-earth-stable:
google-earth-stable depends on lsb-core (= 3.2).

But that is the i386 version of course and I never managed to get out of
that hole trying to install it.


I also tried and failed installing lsb-core:i386. lsb-core depends on a 
bunch of packages providing binaries, like python and make, and, as far 
as I know, multiarch does not allow co-installation of binaries, but 
only libraries.


My conclusion would be that you would need python and python:i386 at the 
same time, which multiarch does not support.

You can have a look at 
http://richardhartmann.de/blog/posts/2012/12/14-Debian_Release_Critical_Bug_report_for_Week_50/ 
to see the number of release critical bugs. The release should wait

There has been some hope for a release in February, but the number of 
release critical bugs is decreasing a bit slowly at the moment, it seems 
to me.

I am confused about how to install the acroread, without installing
other i386 packages.



Short answer: You cant. You had the same things installed before, and 
they were just hidden inside of ia32-libs.


Acroread is now a multiarch-package, as it says on the deb-multimedia 
website, and the amd64 package for acroread is gone. The point of 
multiarch is to allow installation of the 32-bit package belonging to 
the i386 arch and using that acroread on your amd64 system.


The i386 package of acroread has dependencies on lots of other i386 
libraries. Previously the 32-bit acroread was packaged in an amd64 
package with dependency on ia32-libs. ia32-libs was a very large package 
containing all of the 32-bit libraries that acroread depended on.


In the new world you can remove the large and unmaintanable ia32-libs 
and instead install well-maintained packages from i386.


Hope that is clear enough.

Regards

Johan

As you do not seem to know what has happened:

You are logged into the fallback mode, also known as gnome classic. I 
only know of two reasons, you either (by mistake) chose this as the 
session in gdm when you logged in, or gnome thinks your 3D graphics 
support is insufficient.


I would look at the list of recently upgraded packages, anything

Unfortunately, I do not know how to troubleshoot it. I assume it would 
be in some logfile, but as you did not see anything in gdm3, I do not

Now you know exactly what edits to what config files that you need to
undo. -  Yes, I tried that but nothing helped yet.

the boot config for the 686 kernel. -  Where and how could I repair this?





Did you ensure that the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in 
/etc/default/grub reads

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet
and put a # at the beginning of the GRUB_GFXMODE line
then run update-grub2 again (as root or using sudo)?

Did you remove the line uvesafb mode_option=1400x1050-24 mtrr=3 
scroll=ywrap (or similar) from /etc/initramfs-tool/modules

then run update-initramfs -u (as root or using sudo) again?

(I had a typo in the first mail, and I may have one again, but the above 
should describe undoing the edits from the guide.)


I would have expected that your installation would boot normally again 
after that.

I've used this tutorial -
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16t=60019 - yesterday, and

login screen it showed me a black blank screen with a flashing cursor
- not mouse - and after more waiting it stayed there too.


Good! Now you know exactly what edits to what config files that you need 
to undo.




I reboot after it and start with a previous kernel version number -
the number ends with 486, not 686 - with Rescue Mode. It started and
after Ctrl+D - when it needs - it booted the gui succesfully and
everything worked well.


So it sounds to me like there is no problem with your system as a whole, 
just the boot config for the 686 kernel.



I would like to start the computer with the newest available kernel
version number, what ends with 686, and what were the default when I
started the system before, but it doesn't work and give me the error
screen what I mentioned before.

Please give me help to repair this to boot the computer normally as
before it was happenned.



I would:

Start the system the way you can, via rescue mode.

Undo the edits you made before. It might be enough to replace

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nomodeset 
video=uvesafb:mode_option=1400x1050-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap


by

CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet

Run the same update-initramfs and update-grub commands as you did when 
following the guide.



Hope it helps

I just installed Debian Wheezy on my ThinkPad T430s (SSD, encrypted LVM).

The problem is that the system freezes randomly, so much so that I

If you have a recent CPU/GPU from intel, you might want to search for 
ivy bridge linux random freeze and see if that can describe your 
problem. Then you might try to install linux 3.5 from experimental.


The 3.5 kernel works much better for me.

Hi,

The desktop installed the Sid (seems not so relevant here.)  Now the
monitor/screen not work; other things are totally fine.

I used to login desktop first and then ssh from laptop,

Now since not be able to log in, how can I find its ip ? so I can
connect from laptop.
or
shall I just find other monitor and connect?



That seems to be the simplest solution, if you have a working monitor.

So you have a working computer, but without monitor, and you want to 
know its IP-address? I assume your laptop is connected to the same 
router as the monitorless computer.


I would have two suggestions.

1) Log into the router, and see what IP-addresses have been given out 
recently, and try connecting to them.


2) Install zenmap on the laptop, find the IP-address range the router 
uses (mine uses 10.0.1.*, most I have used use 192.168.0.* or 
192.168.1.*). Run a quick scan with zenmap on that range of 
IP-addresses, and see which ones have an ssh-port open.


Then try to connect to those.


Regards

Johan

printer driver Samsung SCX4623f

[Johan Scheepers]

 Good day,

Got  a Samsung SCX 4623f printer.

It seems that Debian 6.05 does not have a driver for it.

Debian 7 testing, ubuntu 12.04, linux mint 2012.04, installs it 
automatically.


What would be the way to install it.

1) Samsung unified driver ?.
2) Something from the repo' s?

Thanks

I would look at the file /etc/debian_version. In your case it probably says

# cat /etc/debian_version
6.0.4

Knowing the mapping between version numbers and names is a different 
problem, as Camaleon wrote.

I think I have seen similar behaviour after installation, and that it

After an update-grub run, I again had a windows option.

Re: Graphic problem on Debian testing installed on Dell Optiplex 960

[Johan Mazel]

I just installed ATI proprietary driver: fglrx.
I can now access the Gnome login screen with any version of the
kernel. I however have several problems with the multi-screen
management through the Catalyst Control Center. I thus cannot use this
solution permanently.

However, I think that this prove that the non-proprietary ATI driver
are here the source of my trouble.
Does anyone knows how to fix this ?

 Hi
 I have a Debian testing 64 bits running on a Dell Optiplex 960.

 I have three different kernels installed: 2.6.32-5, 3.2.0-1 and 3.2.0-2.

 Until a recent upgrade (through apt-get update/apt-get upgrade), I
 could not use the Gnome login screen with kernel versions 3.2.0-1 and
 3.2.0-2: the top of the screen displayed a strange random pattern of
 pixels of many colors and the bottom of the screen was black. However,
 in this case, I was able to use GUI login, and, thus, Debian by using
 2.6.32-5 kernel.

 After a recent upgrade, the Gnome login screen is now not even
 available with the 2.6.32-5 kernel. I only have a black screen with a
 cursor on the top-right corner and a rectangle constituted of random
 pixels in black and white located at the left of the screen and close
 to the top of the screen.

 I tried to remove the gdm3 package. This allow me reach the login
 console with the 2.6.32-5 kernel. In this case, I also have a
 rectangle constituted of random pixels in black and white located at
 the same place: left of the screen and close to the top of the screen.
 And, I still have the same bug as before with kernel versions 3.2.0-1
 and 3.2.0-2: random pattern of pixels in many colors on top of the
 screen and black on the bottom of the screen.
 I tried to use the command startx when I am in the console but there
 is a problem. I do not copy here the result but I can extract. I think
 that this problem is causing the trouble with Gnome.

Linux can handle well above 40 GB of swap. I would be surprised if swap

I am always a bot surprised by advice like the ones in this thread. I

I am aware that for web-browsing, and other similar activities, using 
swap is almost always bad, as it slows the system down.


I typically run programs and scripts without having a good estimate of 
their future memory usage, and my computer usage is frequently 
RAM-bound, so I try to guess how much I can do within the memory I have 
available.


It is not uncommon for me to misjudge the need by a factor of 2 or 3, 
and in those cases, I have programs being killed left and right unless I 
have enough swap-space.


I would say that being careful with swap-space is important when one has 
too small a hard drive, but I have plenty of drives space these days. 
Not having my jobs killed is more important to me than saving a few tens 
of GB of extra space.


I have just above 40 GB on my current desktop, and when I had influence 
over a computer with 64GB RAM, it had quite a bit of swap space.

Is this a special setup with special write permissions?

My interpretation is that the installation scripts fails to write a file

Re: changing window managers in debian 6.0.4

[Johan Grönqvist]

2012-04-30 05:36, Dan Hitt skrev:

This is a sort of subquery to the question of how to change window
managers.
So the question is: supposing you compile a window manager yourself,
so that it does not come from the packaging system.

What is the standard best way of setting this new window manager as yours?

It certainly won't exist in any of the lists on the login page, since
debian could not know about it.

So, i googled around, and there's this page
 http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/debian/ch-X.html
which recommends just making an executable file
 /home/USER/.xsession
and putting in a sequence of commands there---which
could just be the path to your window manager.

I tried this, and . . . . it works.

But i feel a little uneasy about this, like this is not a best practice,
or some newer release of debian may break it.



My internet suggests to look in the /usr/share/xsessions folder, and 
create a new file there. The files there appear to be .desktop files, 
whose format should be defined be the internet somewhere (a 
freedesktop.org-related format, I believe).


I have not tested this.

I'm running debian 6.0.4 (squeeze).

I'm attempting to change my window manager from the default metacity

I attempted the change by
sudo update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
and then choosing the wmaker alternative.




I think gnome uses its own configuration system rather than debian's.
I think it goes something like this:

Open gconf-editor (install it if it is not already installed). Find the 
correct place to edit (I do not have a gnome2 installation here). It may 
be desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager, as 
suggested by the internet.


You could search for required_components and I think you should find 
the right place.


You should see that windowmanager is set to metacity. Change it to 
whatever you like (wmaker, I guess).


At least that procedure worked for me when I switched form metacity to 
compiz. There is also the command line way. As I have never used it I 
will not propose it, but the internet hints at gconftool-2 -s 
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type 
string as the command line way of setting the windowmanager to xmonad.

Finding upgradable packages by priority

[Johan Grönqvist]

Hi,

I run testing and after 5 days without upgrading, I have around 100 
upgradable packages. Normally, I upgrade when reaching the (arbitrarily 
chosen) number 100, but I would like to have a better way of deciding 
when I want to upgrade something.


What I would like to have is a way of finding upgradable packages where 
the upgrade has a priority that is medium or high priority. The 
intention is to make it easier for me to find out what important 
upgrades are available, and decide based on that if when I want to upgrade.


I assume this kind of search would require downloading the changelog for 
each upgradable package, and looking at all entries that are more recent 
than the installed version, then returning a match to the search if any 
of those versions are marked priority=meduim or above.


Does anyone know of a way to accomplish what I want in an automated fashion?

Regards

Johan

I would recommend debian testing, wheezy (to become debian 7), even 
before it is formally released. I use debian testing (currently wheezy) 
as my primary os, and in my experience it is more reliable than 
(non-LTS) releases of ubuntu.


It might require more knowledge, but if your aim is defined as playing 
around, I do not think that should be a hindrance.


Advice will vary a lot, and the above is only my personal opinion.

Debian 7 is expected to be frozen this summer, and I think people expect 
a release sometime in late autumn or winter, perhaps early next year.

howto log screen output while booting

Good day,

On wheezy testing how can the screen output be logged.

There seem to to be a bit problem with some missing modules.
Too fast can not read it.

The OS is running fine.
I am actually impressed. My samsung scx-4624f was installed in seconds 
after switch on and connected to PC. On other OS,ses and even debian 
squeeze it took some doing.

You can also delay the kernel boot messages by appending
boot_delay=miliseconds at GRUB's kernel line.

Too tecnical for me

How about dmesg?

Have a lot of output.

Yup, it also works here (wheezy). But IIRC, bootlogd fails at a random

UPDATE

Fount the problem.  Even though dpkg -l bootlogd said it was installed.
some how back in January the bootlogd executable had been removed.
Aptitude was able to purge/install the package and the log is now 
working in wheezy


The Sid is somewhat different.  I moved the weird bootlogd.dpkg-old to
bootlogd and restarted that service and it is now working.  I think(?) 
the problem(s) occurred during the upgrade to bootlogd version 
2.88dsf-22, which broke initscripts and sysvinit-utils.  Anyway a 
reinstall on sid fixed it.

Wheezy. I installed bootlogd and now there is information in /var/log/boot.

But nothing about the firmware failure/missing.

Thats is the info I am looking for.

More suggestions please.

have installed (offered to install with default answer yes) a (gnome) 
desktop.


I think you can get the standard gui installation by running tasksel 
--new-install in your installed system. It should show you a selection 
of categories, and you can choose which to install software for.





I hope that for the final release, we  get the GUI (gnome) in the first cd.



I definitely expect you will.


Regards

Johan

Have you been disappointed by the 1.8 version as well?


Not sure - my current installation is Squeeze, and I have 1.6.4. My
previous install was Sid, and I probably had 1.8 on it before I stopped
using that machine.


1.8 is not yet in debian, sid still has 1.6.5.


In any event, I'm currently pretty happy with
Liferea (1.6.x), although it's kind of sluggish (perceptible lag when
moving to new item / feed, very slow startup, serious application
unresponsiveness while updating all feeds).


My opinions exactly, but I am looking forward to 1.8, when it enters the 
debian archive.

I, too, shared the OP's
frustration with the dearth of good, fast GUI RSS readers; I use
liferea, but its performance is disappointing.



Have you been disappointed by the 1.8 version as well?

I have not tried it, but from what I understand it was written with this 
problem in mind.


From the liferea blog:

When you upgrade to 1.8 you might be searching for new features and be 
a bit disappointed. The thing is that we put our development focus into 
performance improvements and removing bottlenecks


From a comment in the corresponding debian bug (#651913):

After testing the new version, I can confirm it is faster and more
responsive than the previous one (1.6). The upgrade also seems to go
smoothly.

retaining my hope.


(I guess from the above description that you are using gnome as your 
user interface on debian stable (version 6.something).)



I have been refused adding a printer, and the reason was that I was not 
a member of the lpadmin group.


Apart from that I have no advice, other than that if you describe what 
you mean by I was refused in more detail (What was the exact eror 
message?, is the question), someone may recognize it and help you.


Also, I have (sometimes) had more luck using the webinterface, which you 
should find if you point your browser to localhost:631.

How can I Install this.Since I have even tried it using a  Software
Disk  but still it refuses.

Linux as opposed to GNU Hurd, you mean?



I mean linux as opposed to debian/kFreeBSD. It seems that freebsd is the 
reason it has not migrated to testing yet. See 
http://bugs.debian.org/652482.
