sound games-Pulse Audio Volume control- Defaults- maybe SOLVED..
I have been installing some games from the humble bundle. They work for linux, but no sound. The problem is, with Pulse-audio, for each app or game that needs sound I normally have to start the Pulse Audio Sound App and change the default for output to sb1040 from Built-in Audio Analog. In the games, I can't do that, so I get no sound. Any suggestions?? ah, I think I found the answer..There is a button with a green check mark for each audio device, and the default was for the built-in audio ( which doesn't output any sound.

dpkg -l
It's simple.
Nothing is really golden or best, I think.
because to use the package list for an install/reinstall you need to use
set-selections, like this:
--set-selections
Set package selections using file read from stdin. This
file should
be in the format 'package state', where state is one
of install,
hold, deinstall or purge. Blank lines and comment

well I had an interesting evening yesterday.. I spent most of the
day trying to do an upgrade to jessie from wheezy. after all was
said done I rebooted, I got a black screen. tried the
rescue mode, same thing. So I tried to restore using my clonezilla
backup. after restoring the partition rebooting I got an error
and it dropped me to grub-rescue prompt, with an error like:
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mpp' not
found grub rescue. No help, "?" all I could do was ls.
Not having a computer nearby to google, I just re-installed wheezy.
I have linux installed on multiple partitions, on both of my
internal drives, and also Windows 7.
I have restored before using clonezilla, so I'm not exactly sure
what I did different this time, or how to get it booted..

Re: Backups - Was: clonezilla WORKS !
On 01/10/2014 04:15 PM, Ralf Mardorf wrote: Clonezilla, rsync etc. do work, but why spending that much brain power for learning and/or trial and error? HDDs are inexpensive nowadays, so I prefer to do a simple tar.gz from another Linux install, without any kind of smart sync. I simply backup everything and simply restore everything. I still use the MBR style and to backup the MBR I use dd. The only good advice IMO is to mount the backup device as read only, when planning to clean the broken install and to restore it from a backup. I once behaved as idiotic as possible and cleaned the broken install + the backup :D. The only better thing than tar I know is the FreeBSD's dump command. I wonder if there is a similar tool for Linux too, since dump makes a snapshot before doing the backup, so you can backup a complete FreeBSD install while using it at the same time. clonezilla was very simple to use. You just boot the liveCD, select the partitions you want to backup, and the partition you want to back it up to. I have a 900GB partition that I have the backup in, and it just creates a folder like this: ls -l /extra total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 2 08:54 Debian-2014-01-02-13-img under that folder is all the files. I actually backed up 2 partitions at the same time, root and /home. It let me restore just the one, so that was great. Literally all I had to do was boot clonezilla, select the from partition, the to partition, hit OK ( twice, to be sure) and 5 minutes later, my debian / partition was back like it was 2 days ago. rebooted and everything was great! I think that was actually faster that doing an rsync, or almost as fast. I can see updating that clonezilla every time a new kernel comes out, maybe more often... since my /home is separate, my mail files isn't affected.. even if it was 3-4 weeks old, an apt-get update apt-get upgrade would fix everything. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I rarely now use Windows 7. I went back to Windows for my current desktop 2 years ago tried Windows 7.. Back in July I finally got frustrated enough with the 10 minute boot times, that I installed linux. I was using Adobe Photoshop Elements, that was the MAIN reason I had not switched before that, and 3 or 4 times a year I used Hallmark Card Studio. I used Thunderbird for email so that was easy to backup move to linux. I boot windows now once every 2 or 4 weeks just to update the patches.

Is it what it should do? If yes, then it works fine. I would really like to see your i3 configuration file and know your steps. My bet would be that you had this issue when using an i3 mode where the key 'n' was binded, so when i3 received 'n' it thought it was for it. I sent you the config file in a private message For the 2nd issue, it seems you do not have installed a package for me. Package which could have been automatically installed by whatever other wm you use, or any other software. I already had issues with softwares which had silent dependencies in Debian. It is easy for developpers to forgot about one of those when then are making tests on systems using a complete desktop environment, and users as me (us?) which prefers to keep systems as light as possible suffers from that. After all, how could a window manager break automatic URL management? it works in all other WM, MATE, Gnome, xfce, but not i3.. For the 3rd and hopefully last issue you had, it is definitely not a i3 problem, since as you say, I went back to Trinity WM. I3 just have no way to remember that a window was in fullscreen. Often, web browsers implements their own window manager internally, which allows to fullscreen. Since thunderbird is made on the same basis as firefox, I guess they use the same GUI tools, and so that you are using the internal full screen mode. it never went full-screen until I ran i3. Even though I brought it out of full-screen before I closed I3, when I ran thunderbird again in gnome, it ran full-screen with no way to close it. I never had a window before that didn't have the X box to close the window before I ran i3. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

To do this it cleans out the system of any previous drivers, then installs the latest versions of the driver you have requested.

shorewall IMAP
I was having a problem today, trying my laptop IMAP from my debian desktop. I looked in the rules file, figured out why my web server wasn't working. It only showed port 80, but I had changed apache to port 81, forgetting about shorewall! When I saw the port 80 in there, I changed it to 81 apached started working again. But I am still having a problem getting IMAP mail from the desktop via IMAP to my laptop. When I turn off shorewall I get the mail. Here is what I added to rules: # grep IMAP rules # IMAP server IMAP/ACCEPT net $FW IMAPS/ACCEPTnet $FW what else do I need for shorewall to let me get IMAP email ? -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
