If you were using virtualbox before vmware, could this be left over?
Virtualbox has been removed from Debian stable versions - see
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox but I think you could pick it 
up from

Oracle.

If you've nothing that depends on either particularly, I'd recommend
virt-manager and the kvm/qemu universe.

Please advise.

Actually, I am using the QEM/KVM virt-manager programs for Windows 
10 and an very happy with them. However, right now I'm hung up on 
accessing the host and the internet from the Windows guest. I was 
hoping to get som insight from VMWare as to a solution.


My major problem is, because of the problem with VMWare Player, I 
can.t use Synaptic or apt to update and upgrade Bookworm.

Do you have an sources.list(5) configuration line for VirtualBox?

The only line in that subdirectory is:

If you were using virtualbox before vmware, could this be left over?
Virtualbox has been removed from Debian stable versions - see
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox but I think you could pick it up from
Oracle.

If you've nothing that depends on either particularly, I'd recommend
virt-manager and the kvm/qemu universe.

Actually, I am using the QEM/KVM virt-manager programs for Windows 10 
and an very happy with them. However, right now I'm hung up on accessing 
the host and the internet from the Windows guest. I was hoping to get 
som insight from VMWare as to a solution.


My major problem is, because of the problem with VMWare Player, I can.t 
use Synaptic or apt to update and upgrade Bookworm.




This my shed some light on the subject

Try this

dpkg --verify


for example running on my system.
dpkg --verify
??5?? c /etc/skel/.bashrc
??5?? c /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf

VirtualBox isn't in the official Debian repositories, so you likely
used Oracle's repository to install it at some point and then removed
that repository from your apt configuration (possibly as a part of
installing VMWare; in general, having more than one hypervisor
installed on the same system is discouraged). Alternatively, you might
have installed VirtualBox using a manually downloaded .deb file.

Either re-add Oracle's repository per
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads#Debian-basedLinuxdistributions
and try `apt reinstall virtualbox-7.0` (this is probably the easiest
if you want to keep running VirtualBox).

Or reinstall the .deb using dpkg -i if you originally installed
VirtualBox that way.

Or you could try `apt remove virtualbox-7.0`.

If you don't want to run VirtualBox going forward, the easiest way
might be to just `apt purge virtualbox-7.0`.

Depending on the current state of the package, you might need to
reinstall it before you can remove it.

After either remove or purge (see the apt man page for the difference
between the two) you should be able to reinstall it later if you want
to.

More generally, I agree with Andy's recommendation to check out
KVM/QEMU unless you have something in particular which depends on
using a specific other hypervisor. You may want to check out AQEMU as
a replacement for virt-manager; I haven't tried it myself, but based
on screenshots I have seen it looks like a closer match for
VirtualBox's GUI tooling, and you will still have access to the full
power of KVM through virsh if you want that.

Tanks in advance.

A solution may already exist on your machine if it knows about brscan.

Brother has a deb containing their smartinstaller as a bash script,
named in my case "linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1" or your can get
the latest version from brothers sites, visit with firefox.

Unpack it, run it from a cli, it asks for the model number string of
the printer or scanner, goes to brother'sown linux repo and downloads
the latest version available for that device and installs and
configures it to Just Work with cups IF you have removed cups-browsed
thereby disallowing cups from setting up the default printer driver
which cannot drive the printer in anything but waste paper mode.
Brothers own drivers support every feature the printer has, accessible
from the web interface cups serves at localhost:631. Despite the poor

Thank you for your encouraging reply. I have the Brother MCF-L2710DW
Laser printer and am very pleased with it. I followed your directions
and ran:

sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1

Here are the CUPS results:

Description:MFCL2710DW
Location:
Driver: Brother MFCL2710DW for CUPS (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection:
dnssd://Brother%20MFC-L2710DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-b42200417fc9

Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided

I ran "Prnt Test Page" anmd got:

Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided

Well since you specced A4 paper, did you have A4 paper in the tray? and
of course, did it work? You may need to goto locolhost:631 with your
browser and configure the options to suit your environment. Also, that
uuid is unique to that printer, so it must be correct. else you'd
collect a no such device error. An ls of /dev/serial/by-id might serve
as a checking src. klipper, the better 3d printer driver, uses that to
make sure its driving the right printer since usb has rather poor id
mechanisms. from my printers output:

root@mkspi:~# ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 3 01:17
usb-Klipper_rp2040_E5D94D950DCD5658-if00 -> ../../ttyACM0
the E5D9. is a unique to that chip serial number, no other rp2040
has it. So do all the stm32 controller chips.

Unforch that is not always true, as witnessed by this machine:
gene@coyote:~/src/klipper-docs$ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 7 11:39 usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0
-> ../../ttyUSB1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 7 11:39
usb-FTDI_USB_HS_SERIAL_CONVERTER_FTDHG45D-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
where there aren't any chip serial numbers, but cups seems to have other
ways of assuring its driving the correct device as a printer. One of
those is actually driving a CM11A X10 home controller.

Probably more info than you need if the test page worked,

Unpack it, run it from a cli, it asks for the model number string of the 
printer or scanner, goes to brother'sown linux repo and downloads the 
latest version available for that device and installs and configures it 
to Just Work with cups IF you have removed cups-browsed thereby 
disallowing cups from setting up the default printer driver which cannot 
drive the printer in anything but waste paper mode. Brothers own drivers 
support every feature the printer has, accessible from the web interface

Does synaptic still insist on the brscan4 package after it is uninstalled?

In that case, there must be some dependency involved. I have not used

brscan4 is not in the official Debian repos. Perhaps you have installed
it from another source which has disappeared.

Superficial Internet search suggests that it is a Brother thing.


Indeed it is.

Brother have some installation helper script, but that is not really 
playing nicely with the idea of using remote repos for installation. 
It may be simplest to use dpkg to uninstall the brscan4 package, do 
the necessary upgrades etc., and then install the brother stuff again.


That way, you'll also have relatively up to date Brother drivers.

If you want to avoid the odyssey through Brother's web site, have a

It's for a Brother printer, came from Brother's web site. I find my brscan4

you downloaded on your Bullseye disk instead of needing to hunt for it on
Brother's website.


I'd not recommend that, but look for the brother install script in his 
old /home/$user/Downloads directory, running that and giving it the 
exact model name of the brother printer, will goto the brother site and 
download the latest version.  But to get it to work at all, may require 
you use the package manager to remove and purge cups-browsed. The cups 
driverless stuff over-rides brothers stuff and the printer is reduced to 
the lowest common version, duplex disappears, tray src selection 
defaults to tray 1, and a color printer becomes black and white. 
Brothers drivers can run the printer to its full capbility.

look for: linux-brprinter-installer-*

If the printer is an MFC, you'll also get the brscan stuff for x-sane. 
And w/o cups-browsed, they Just Work flawlessly.


Or if you goto the brother site, that is the script you will dl first, 
set chom +x and then run from the cli. The version may change which is 
why I starred the line above.

Am having a can-do kind of day so I took a poke at it, too. Searched
for brscan4 alone:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brscan4

Gives some insight into package interoperability. It became instantly
clear this was about printers.

My main suggestion is that you describe the problem in full,
extreme, maniacal detail such that you sweat blood and tears over
how much detail you have written, go to bed and have nightmares over
whether you have maybe gone too far with the detail, wake up
screaming at 4am bathed in cold sweat but resolve that, no, more
detail yet is required, so you go forth and you tell us what you
did, what happened, what you expected to happen, and everything
else.

Because right now what we are working with is "on Debian 12 I ran
synaptic and there was a problem and that problem did not have a
solution when I entered an unspecified query about it on Google."

That's what you gave us.

Come on, man. No one should have to be saying this.

So eliminate the problem. Whitespace characters (& dots & underscores) in

Use quotation marks to make the directory path a single "word"

  umount "/media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1"

(It is somewhat astounding that you can mount /dev/sr1 several times.
 On ye olde Jessie kernel i have to use "-o loop" for the further mounts.)

In my /etc/apt/sources.list there is the word "deb" or "deb-src" before
the URL. man 5 source.list says:

   The format for a sources.list entry using the deb and deb-src types is:
   deb [ options ] uri suite [component1] [component2] [...]

This matches the complaint about "Type 'file:...'".

So if you don't have it yet in the file, then try prepending "deb"

  deb file:/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd stretch main contrib non-free

"Type" is probably referring to the deb or deb-src entry that is missing.



I've been staring at screen too long.
That at least allows Synaptic to start.

As CD's are not "signed" so to speak I still can't access it.
But I had a closely related problem in April 2014.
I have to reread that thread to become re-educated ;/





Have you already used the repository to update your sources? why do you
want to add the cd/dvd back?


Because I don't always have internet and there are physical/mechanical 
problems using the installed drive. The portable drive is convenient and 
sometimes required.




I have found that immediately after install, a commented line
in sources.list resembling:
#deb cdrom:[debian_installer_version_arch_24-date_etc] stretch main

and if I uncomment this line, and mount the install media at /media/cdrom
then apt is able to continue installing pkgs from it.

If that won;t work for you, try apt-cdrom


I'll check that out tomorrow.
Thanks



good luck

I don't know about Synaptics, but for the command line you have
to put a file name in quotes whenever it contains spaces (this
is due to the shell separating arguments (by default) at whitespace:
umount sees four arguments then: "/media/richard/Debian", "9.1.0",
"i386" and "1". None of those are a mount point or device (lucky
you ;), thus umount complains).

I had tried "umount /media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1", but umount 
objected to the spaces in the file name.


Synaptic still returns

E: Type 'file:/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd' is not known on line 2 in 
source list /etc/apt/sources.list

E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.

Is the problem that the dvd is automounted at boot?
Thank you

"testcd" is not the same as "testdvd".

Synaptic problem - physical access to CD drive related

2018-01-05 Thread Richard Owlett

I have 3 machines with differing problems physically accessing the 
CD/DVD drive. To install Debian I routinely use a USB connected drive 
WITHOUT any problem by using the BIOS option to select a boot device.


The SOURCES.LIST(5) man page hints that I should be able us something like
 file:/media/richard/Debian%209.1.0%20i386%201
or
file:/media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1

Neither worked. Man page suggest the space characters to be the problem.

I did

root@stretch17oct2017:/home/richard# findmnt
TARGETSOURCE  FSTYPE  OPTIONS
/ /dev/sda9   ext4rw,relatime,errors=rem

.
.
.> └─/media/richard/Debian 9.1.0 i386 1  /dev/sr1iso9660 
ro,nosuid,nodev,relati



root@stretch17oct2017:/home/richard# mount  /dev/sr1 
/home/richard/Desktop/testcd
mount: /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
root@stretch17oct2017:/home/richard#


When I run Synaptic, it complains about a line in sources.list
   file:/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd stretch main contrib non-free

The error message is

E: Type 'file:/home/richard/Desktop/testdvd' is not known on line 2 in source 
list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.

What can I do?
TIA

My wheezy has libapt-pkg.so.4.12 installed and your version seems 
coming from squeeze, could it be that a pakage failed to upgrade? :-?

Do a locale libapt-pkg and check if tehre's any version of the library 
present in the system and also try the apt-get or aptitude commands.

Do you get the same error when running apt-get or Aptitude?  Which
version of the relevant packages do they think are installed on
your system?

Do you use synaptic much?  You might consider reinstall it or upgrading 
it.  You seem to have the correct version of libapt-pkg installed for 
wheezy, is Synaptic at wheezy or earlier?


According to http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages , version 
4.10 of libapt-pkg is the version for Stable/Squeeze.  What version of 
Synaptic do you have?  Mine is 0.75.12.  If you have 0.70~pre1+b1 or 
earlier, you have the wrong one.

synaptic problem?

2008-07-22 Thread Mark Neidorff

Hi,

I want to switch an installation from an IDE disk to a SATA disk.  I use 
synaptic to manage packages for me.  The File menu has an option to generate 
a package install script.  So, I created a custom filter to show just 
installed packages and selected that filter.  (cool)  Then I selected all the 
packages for reinstallation (the only option).  Then I selected generate 
package install script from the File menu.  The script that was generated 
starts with 
#! /bin/sh
wget
wget
wget
.
.
.
with one wget line for each package that I selected, but there is nothing in 
the script file after the wget.  Am I doing something wrong, or is there a 
bug?

Thanks,

Mark

At least you got wget's, I only got #! /bin/sh

Are you trying to create a script that will intall the same packages you have 
installed? If so, The scripts that I made may interest you.

Same. Just #!/bin/sh. I have the same version as well 0.62.1. That's
odd.

Anyway, looking at the file menu for synaptic, it has a Add downloaded
packages and the hover text says Add packages downloaded with the
'Generate package download script' feature to the system.

I have never used this before, so this may be a wild guess, but is it
possible that you run the script to wget the packages and then run the
Add downloaded packages to install them? Have you tried that?

Have fun!

 Are you trying to create a script that will intall the same packages you
 have installed? If so, The scripts that I made may interest you.


Yes.  That is what I am trying to do.  I did not see the script on your 
website.  Can you post the script to the list, or send me a link to it?

Thanks,

Mark

I used to get the one line script and my version of synaptic is older 0.57.8. 
After googling I found out that I need to select packages first.   then I got 
one line per selected package.  But, only wget on each line.

The script is attached. I'd love to have feedback on it.

Yes, that's how it works. I was able to use this method with synaptic 
under Ubuntu Hardy.

Synaptic Problem

Hallo,

ich Pflege meine Paket mit Synaptic. Heute habe ich (das erste mal) nach
Aufruf von Synaptic folgenden fehler bekommen:

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Ein Fehler trat beim Bearbeiten von
kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-generic auf (NewPackage)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: Die Liste der Paketquellen oder der Status-Datei konnte nicht geffnet
werden.

Wie kann ich das wieder reparieren?

Gruß,
Peter

Indem du mal Google anwirfst dun die erste Zeile eintraegst. Ich bin
naemlich auch grad zu faul in /etc/apt/conf.d/Cache nachzuschauen wie
die Konfigurationsanweisung exakt lautet.

Das hatte ich vorgestern auch. Etwas im Usenet rumsuchen ergab die Lösung,
das Cache-Limit von Apt höher zu setzen. Dazu dient in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
eine Datei mit der Zeile: 

APT::Cache-Limit 16777216; //avoid get E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room  

IMHO sollte die Fehlermeldung etwas expliziter sein. Noch besser wäre, wenn
apt von sich aus vorschlägt, den Cache größer zu machen. Gibts dazu
eigentlich schon einen bugreport?

Für was einen Bugreport?
Es macht genau das was es soll, nix mehr in /var/cache/apt/... 
reinzuschieben wenn das Cache-Limit erreicht ist.
Wäre es wohl besser den Cache zu vergrössern bis die Partition volläuft 
(hässliches Wort, schreibt man das mit 2 oder 3 l in der Mitte? :-) ), 
wohl eher nicht oder?.

Super, mit den Telegrafenmastschlägen der anderen Helfer in Richtung
Google und deinem Tipp ist Synaptic wieder ganz brav.

 Ok, seh ich ein. Reschpekt, /etc/apt/conf.d/Cache gleich so aus'm

Naja, im Normalfall weiss ich welche Dateien ich angelegt habe. Davon
