No ... actually not - they do not have either a spare monitor or time.
Luckily they also have no st**id ideas either.

Most probably it is the stupidity of developers of course, especially if you
are on a new Gnome or KDE or derivative desktop.
Guys did not get it that they are testing for free.

But I admit there might be a chance to be hardware failure ... around 1%.
Few days ago the notebook stopped seeing the monitor. It turned out it is
the HDMI cable or the KVM inbetween - I need another cable to test ... but
luckily I have a PC store and can borrow one from there :D

I hope you have a sense of humor.

[Paul Harold]

Hi there,

My name is Paul Harold and I've just designed an infographic exploring the War 
on Drugs. The infographic argues the War on Drugs is ineffective. The 
infographic also explains the civil and human rights implications of the War on 
Drugs.

You can find my infographic on the War on Drugs here: 
http://www.oceanrecoverycentre.com/drugs/why-the-war-on-drugs-has-failed/

When I was researching the infographic, I noticed you link to 
www.aclu.org/echelonwatch/index.html from this page on your website: 
www.lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/02/msg01247.html

Since my infographic is also human rights-based, could I ask you to update this 
page on your website to also link to my infographic?

I sincerely thank you if this is possible. I believe not enough is known about 
the War on Drugs amongst the general public, and adding this link will serve to 
increase awareness about this important issue.

Alternative and if you can't add the link to the above web page, could I ask if 
you can embed the infographic on your blog?

As a professional blogger, I'd be happy to write the introduction to the 
infographic that will sit on your blog. This will save you a lot of time, as 
I'm sure you would have to conduct your own research in order to write the 
infographic introductory text.

If this is possible, reply to this email and I'll get about writing the 
introduction to go with the infographic ASAP.

Many thanks,

Paul Herold, blogger @ various websites

Re: Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from a standard CD .iso?

[Tom Browder]

I used the Mate DVD (8.4) with the non-free packages for a fresh install on
my Dell 6500 laptop. The initial installation went fine. Then I powered
down and went to give a presentation and could not get it to boot into the
graphical desktop. I reinstalled again and had the same failure.

In a final (and successful, whew!) atttempt I used the regular x64
netinst CD, selected Mate as my only desktop, and all has been well since
(fingers still crossed but loosening by the day).

Note the Debian website says the special DVDs don't get as much testing, so
I suspect my laptop might have found a bug.  Unfortunately I don't have
ensough data to confirm that.

HTH

Best regards,

-Tom

P.S. I love the Mate desktop as it is. Please don't add any more bells and
whistles from the pop culture, just maintain it in the choice of desktops
for the normal Debian distribution.

Is this another Skylake problem?  It *is* after all a Skylake!

I had failures at various stages until I got help:

If it _is_ a Skylake problem, then 8.x is not enough information.  You need at 
least 8.3 (I managed on that), but preferably 8.4.  If you can somehow manage 
to get as far as booting (by hook or by crook) then the first thing you need 
to do is install a backported kernel.

Or you could use Stretch!!  Cutting edge and Linux are sometimes a problematic 
combination.

It was a considered response to the OP's paragraph above. He provided no
theory to his speculation; theories have to have some evidence-based
grounding. "rhjhhh!!!" is about the best he could manage;
not even an error message, never mind a syslog extract.

There are a number of Debian bugs relating to his issue, all with a
similar lack of solid information. The Release Notes could prove useful.

What's the Dell Service Tag?  Any hardware changes since it shipped from

"Current configuration"?

"Memory

You have installed more RAM than the manufacturer supports.  What make

memtest86+ or some other testing/ burn-in diagnostic for an extended

I am unable to find CMOS setup documentation on-line.  But, as others 
have posted, you might find a solution by changing one or more of the 
CMOS settings:


1.  Disable Secure Boot.

2.  Enable Compatibility Support Module:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Compatibility_Support_Module

3.  Disable either the Intel graphics or the NVIDIA graphics. (If you 
can't disable the card in CMOS, pull it.)



Another possibility is that you might need to install and run Debian 
Testing (Stretch) to get the latest device drivers, X Windows, etc.:


https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting


I recommend that you use a small (16 GB) SSD or USB 3.0 flash drive for 
your system drive.  Choose manual partitioning during installation, 
delete the existing partitions, create a new partition table (d-i should 
create/ use MBR), and then create partitions as follows:


10.5 GB ext4 /boot (bootable flag = on)
20.5 GB swap
3   13.4 GB btrfs root


(After the machine is up and running, you can set up the large HDD later.)


Be sure to install SSH during installation -- if the machine boots but 
graphics are bad, you might be able to log in via SSH for 
troubleshooting and repair.



You will want and need a working computer while you fool with Debian on 
the Inspiron 3650.  Type up detailed notes.  Take pictures of the screen 
and/or use video, if necessary (a tiny tripod and/or 1/4-20 cell phone 
mount can be very useful).  SSH into the Inspiron and cut/ paste console 
sessions, when possible.  Expect to make several runs navigating the 
permutations.

I'd be carefull of calling any theory about these failures 'speculation'.

What is a known fact at this location is that the last 4 wheezy installs 
I did, failed on the first pass because I allowed the installer to use 
a /boot DIRECTORY on the / of the disk.  The reboot failed because the 
bios could not reach far enough into a big disk that was being filled 
from the outside in by the installer, and by the time it got around to 
writing the grub stuff, it was too far into the disk for the bios to 
find it.

On the 2nd pass at a workable install, I beat the installer into allowing 
me to add a 1Gb boot partition as the FIRST partition on the disk.  That 
can also be fun as I had it overwrite my location choice at least once, 
putting the boot partition as the inside partition on the disk.  
Obviously that would never work, so I restarted the install with a 
fresh, empty partition map, several times until it actually accepted 
what I wanted.

I finally did get it to work, and it works very well indeed, even on a 4k 
sectored disk.  The secret is of course the /boot as the first 
partition, guaranteeing that a dumb bios CAN reach far enough into the 
disk to find the grub stuff.

Things would be so much simpler if the debian partitioner would recognize 
a gparted prepared disk, needing only the partitions name to be 
associated with it, but despite my efforts to prepare the disks with 
gparted, including a power down and reboot to the gparted cd to verify 
that the partitions had indeed been written to the disk, not once did 
the wheezy installer recognize such a prepared disk as anything but a 
blank slate.

I have not made the jump to jessie yet because the most important app I 
run is still based on a 32 bit wheezy install. I hope and pray for the 
installer to be fixed to make it compatible with other well known and 
standardized partitioners such as gparted by the time I have to enter 
that battlefield again.

As it works now, I consider that its broken for 2 reasons, 1st being its 
inability to recognize another partitioners perfectly valid partition 
table setup already written and mke2fs'd to ext4 on the disk, and its 
penchant for moving a partition setup to be used for /boot, to any free 
space available on the inside of the disc, beyond the / partition.  

Those are not excusable bugs to be blamed on PEBKAC as you've done to me 
on many occasions.

You are the only one who can bring some light to the issue, including
where GRUB was installed to and how you partitioned. What does the
syslog say? That's really your primary source of informaton.

Re: Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from a standard CD .iso?

[John L. Ries]

I'm guessing that there is some incompatibility between your hardware 
and the default configuration that the GRUB installer doesn't know how 
to handle.  I'm not promising to answer further, as this is outside my 
area of expertise, but is there an error message associated with this, 
or does the installation simply die without explanation?

Hi,

(I Cc: you because the X-Spam-Status: header does not list you
 as "LDOSUBSCRIBER".)

> For some reason it runs the CD fine, 

I understand that you get to the first menu which offers installation.
Like:
  https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/images/inst-boot.png
  
https://gordonlesti.com/media/post/install-debian-8-jessie-virtual-machine/debian_installer_boot_menu.png

In this case the way you presented the ISO to the machine was
as correct as can be.


> then when it gets to the grub install part? it fails

How does it express its failure ?
What are the last messages or dialog prompts you get to see ?


> to go the Ubuntu route

It might be of interest if an Ubuntu ISO does better than the Debian one.


> Any help anyone can provide would be
> greatly appreciated.

My own expertise normally ends when the computer firmware (BIOS or EFI)
sucessfully started the boot loader (ISOLINUX or GRUB2) which then shows
the said first menu.
But we have people listening here who can probably tell more about
the reasons of later failure.


Have a nice day :)

Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from a standard CD .iso?

[EGO-II.1]

Hello all,

I've been trying for about a week now to get Debian with the MATE 
desktop installed on my PC. For some reason it runs the CD fine, then 
when it gets to the grub install part? it fails. I have tried by burning 
the .iso file to both DVD and CD and it keeps failing on either one. Can 
anyone shed some light on this matter for me? I have installed Debian 
from CD's / DVD's in the past and never experienced this problem. I 
there something the devs have removed from a standard .iso file? I mean 
if push comes to shove I'll most likely just have to go the Ubuntu 
route, but I was trying to deal directly with the "superior server" 
distro. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.


Many Thanks!

Oh! Here's some "specs" for y'all!

MACHINE FOR INSTALL: Dell Inspiron 3650 Desktop/i5/32GB RAM/1TB HDD
USED: Debian 8.x .ISO Image w/ The MATE Desktop Environment -DVD
USED: Debian 8.x .ISO Image w/ The MATE Desktop Environment - CD

FIts just strange that it stops immediately after trying to install 
grub. What's changed with the .ISO's on the Debian homepage? Is this 
because if the whole "Systemd" issue?...or is this something they've 
implemented in order to improve some other feature? rhjhhh!!!
(And although this is might seem like a simple 
"desktop-in-the-backroom-office" type of thing. This is in all actuality 
the beginning stages of "testing" for the company I work for!!)

Not a problem.

This is. Returning to the 'Install the base system' step is an option.

Unless there is an overwhelming need to get to testing from a testing
installer you can do a Squeeze install of the base system, change
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to Wheezy and 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

Installer for the testing branch are prone to this kind of errors.

For GRUB2, you can leave it uninstalled and boot the installed system 
from a LiveCD/LiveUSB or SGD. Once you're in, install GRUB2 as usual.

Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from netinstall cd's?

[keitho]

For the last several days I have been attempting to install Wheezy from
one of the daily builds. I have tried four different builds (different
days)- and they all fail in the same two spots- they won't recognize my
removable medium (usb thumbdrive) so that I can install firmware, and,
more importantly, they fail to install Grub.

I have no problem doing an install from a Debian Squeeze install disc I
have (6.0.1a).

I am telling the install package to completely start fresh each time- new
partition table and reformatting the drive. Wouldn't that necessarily rule
out any existing problems with the hard drive (partition table, mbr,
filesystem)?

I use the Graphical Expert Install option. I use the manual partition
option when I get to it. I delete all the existing partition then recreate
it. I have a 120GB SSD drive- I only partition one 40Gb primary partition
for the entire ext4 filesystem (mounted at / with bootable flag on) plus
one 6Gb swap file. The rest of the drive is left free space. I would
think this to be a very simple setup and the same setup works fine if I
use the Squeeze install disc.

The install won't recognize my usb thumbdrive- this is exasperating but
minor compared to the Grub problem. Of course that means I have no
Internet connection, so no mirror use for install.

When I select the Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk menu
option I get this error:

Grub installation failed. The 'grub-pc' package failed to install into
/target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not
boot.

I then go to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and look at /var/log/syslog.
Here are a few of the seemingly relevant lines from the last screen (not
all lines included here, but they are in proper sequential order):

grub-installer: dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove grub-legacy
which isn't installed.
in-target: E: Package 'grub-pc' has no installation candidate.
grub-installer: info: Calling 'apt-install grub-pc' failed
chroot: can't execute 'grub-probe': No such file or directory
File descriptor 4 (/dev/tty1) leaked on lvdisplay in vocation.
Volume group sda not found.
Skipping volume group sda.
WARNING ***: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed.
WARNING ***: Menu item 'grub-installer' failed
DEBUG: resolver (libgcc1): package doesn't exist (ignored)
DEBUG: resolver (libslang2-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored)
INFO: Falling back to the package description for espeakup-udeb.

I can mount the usb drive (if I hadn't already) in order to save the debug
files. I can also mount the hard drive (sda1).

I can continue without the boot loader and I get the message You will
need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/sda1 and
root=/dev/sda1 passed as a kernel argument. As an additional pain, I have
not found a way to do that (after hours of searching the web for help).
When I reboot I sometimes get the grub rescue prompt- I haven't found
how to use that (help is not available and none of the web searches I run
find discussions relevant to Debian with this version of Grub, as opposed
to discussions of old Grub or Ubuntu LiveCD installs).

Actually, this last time I just got a blinking cursor in the top left
corner when I booted.

Evidently others are using these netinstall cd's with no problem (amd64).
I am new to Linux- this is really difficult for me to figure out. Can you
help?

Here are the four netinstall cd's I have tried:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily.old/20110829-1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily.new/20110826-7/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
(Aug 22)

I can post the gzipped install debug files if anyone is willing to look at
them.

I have several rescue discs, but nothing I have tried works to install
Grub properly (maybe because they have different versions of Grub?). I
have also tried Ubuntu boot-repair.

Re: Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from netinstall cd's?

[rlharris]

 For the last several days I have been attempting to install Wheezy from
 one of the daily builds.

If you are not already doing it, you can save much time and download
bandwidth by running approx on another machine in the LAN.

You might try specifying a minimal install, instead of specifying a
standard desktop or laptop installation.  If the minimal installation is
successful, you can run tasksel to complete the installation.

Years ago, I was in a similar situation, with the installation failing
right at the end.  But after about a week everything started working
again.  That's why they call the release testing.

I don't know enough to be able to decode the syslog messages; perhaps 
another reader does.



When I started using Linux (1997?), a small boot partition was usually 
required as the first partition on the first hard drive.  I still do 
that, out of habit (currently /dev/sda1, ~120 MB aligned to cylinder 
boundaries, with ext2 file system in keeping with tradition).



Have you tried the using simplest installer and letting it do everything 
for you?



I find myself installing/ re-installing a given release several times (I 
have several computers, and I like to fiddle).  I'd suggest downloading 
and burning DVD 1, to save time and bandwidth.  I use the Jigdo method, 
which is smart enough to download/ assembly only the missing pieces for 
multiple, related releases:


http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/


I typically run the current Stable release, but I would expect the 
weekly Testing builds to be more stable than daily Testing builds:


http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/jigdo-dvd/


I only have one amd64 capable machine, so I run i386.  Have you tried i386?

After you boot, you can hit ctrl-alt-F2 to get a console login prompt.
Log in as root and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  That'll attempt
to reconfigure the xserver.

Then run /etc/init.d/gdm restart (assuming you're using the default
installation) and see if your graphics come back.

If that didn't work, hit ctrl-alt-F2 and login as root (if root is not
already logged in).  Run /etc/init.d/gdm stop, followed by 
X -configure, then /etc/init.d/gdm start.  See if that gets you back
in business.

Some of us do.  Not Debian as an organisation, except insofar as the
ideal of free software is compatible with Christian ideas of community. 
Other members of Debian would get very cross at the very idea of having
Christian values!

You can install web proxies such as privoxy.  It has a demonstration
filter called crude-parental which you could expand on.

There is also a package in the unstable release called dansguardian,
which seems to do almost exactly what you want.  The upstream site is

I think you need the package bin86 from debian. It will supply you with
as86. That's probably all you need.

New problem,

(i) If I boot up kernel with scanner power on, then kernel can find it and
if I check /proc/scsi/scsi, it shows that it detects the scanner and when
I try scan everything is cool.

(ii) If I boot up kernel with scanner turned off, it doesn't detect. If I
check /proc/scsi/scsi, it doesn't show scanner.

My question is how can I turn my scanner on after I boot up and have it be
detected. Thanks

Cyrus

I think the module name is general scsi support.

Hope this helps you.

Lennie.
