I have created a second CD - same problem. Downloaded the file again and used that to create a third CD - same problem. I have tried these CD's on two different machines, one of which faultlessly runs the current version of gnewsense and the other puppy linux. Same result. This is such an elementary failure that it must be happening to lots of people. The CDs are all OK - I can open them, see their contents, unzip packages, read any readable files. My CD readers are obviously working just fine. I have so far spent two days trying to find some reference to this problem in your lists. Thank you for patiently reading this. My point is that I have a very basic problem that must be happening to dozens of other people, yet I am finding it impossible to discover the answer. And so must they be.

The way I've always burned discs is either: wodim dev=/dev/sg2 padsize=63s -dao -pad -v -eject myfile.iso or growisofs -Z=/dev/sr0=myfile.udf These *appear* to have given me readable CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays. What's the difference between an image and an .iso? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt* http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance ___ In my experience the 'image' always produces a bootable installation disk. .iso may be written/read as a saved expanded file system therefore is not bootable, This is just what I've experienced YMMV. A lot of this depends on the software writing the disk as well. If you simply download an .iso use a disk writer in a GUI you can have a disk that is readable/not bootable a 'windows' system will try to mount it, sometimes giving the false start of the boot sequence, but not completing the install. Your 'command line' sequence is apparently designed to write an image disk. I am not familiar with this process.However I'm filing it in my tips directory. thanks john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You don't need to have them all under /var/www, but you do need each virtualhost to have its own directory. I'm running several hosts; I have several different virtualhost entries in my Apache configuration. Each one has an entry in the /etc/hosts file. For instance, if one of the sites I manage is example.com, I'll have an entry in /etc/hosts like: 127.0.0.1 example And I'll have a virtualhost defined in Apache as VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 ServerName example DocumentRoot /var/www/example/html ... /VirtualHost Files go in /var/www/example/html To do it the Debian way, I place the virtual host information in /etc/apache2/sites-available/example, then place a symlink to it as //etc/apache2/sites-enabled/###-example, where ### is a 3-digit number (sites are loaded in directory name sort order). That way if I want to remove an entry, just remove the symlink and restart Apache. As for your PHP problem - you don't have PHP installed as an Apache module. You need to get the package libapache2-mod-php5. Jerry Sorry to say but I actually do have libapache2-mod-php5 installed.

issues with this in the past. However this is my first time to do it via
all command line interface on a remotely hosted VPN server. On this
server there is no kernel image or at least nothing in the /boot
directory nothing shows to be installed as a kernel image in dselect.
the issue at hand is this message when I try to install the new libc6
parts:
If the package manager doesn't know about your kernel and libc, then I
think there's a number of possibilities: They've been installed manually
(for example with ./configure ; make ; make install), The package
manager has forgotten about them (unlikely, but disk-corruption could do
that) or I *think* there are certain kinds of virtualised environments
that don't expose the kernel to you. You don't say your remote server is
virtual, though, so we'll exclude the latter.
If you haven't installed the files manually, then you should probably
check files like /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status for
truncation/corruption.
what is the consequence of clearing out those files
In terms of recovery, dpkg -i --force-overwrite {something}.deb MIGHT
work, but note that issue of unsafeness (below).
I don't mind that, but I think I would try a complete reinstall of
Debian 6 then do the upgrade as they supply the TOOL for that. Less of
an issue I think.I should be able to just restore the wiki after that as
I did when they recently migrated the server (physically) all the IP
addresses were toast. LOL they thought simply dropping in a snapshot of
the files system would be OK. Man were they off about that.
A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory:
'/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so'
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of
'/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again.

have researched a tried a couple of processes that work for some folks
already, but when I do move those c lib items to another directory the
whole system fails and I've only been able to rescue my self by having
several term windows open where I have command line access. I was able
to reinstall (as in put them back) using filezilla and a remote term
that was kept open for this purpose.

Thus: when you enter www.physicswiki.net in a browser, you end up at

192.65.240.181.
if you *want* the traffic for www.physicswiki.net to end up at

Re: Question for you network/DNS/Apache gurus;
Ran a few diagnostics (some of which have been reported by others already): 1. You definitely have to get your DNS records cleaned up. www.physicswiki.net resolves to 184.168.221.5 canonical name: physicswiki.net NOT to 192.65.240.181 184.168.221.5 reverse resolves to ip-184-168-221-5.ip.secureserver.net 192.65.240.181 has no reverse record listed as a couple of you indicated this is not correct was caused by an old dns setup that was left in place by GoDaddy. 2. Fixing the DNS MIGHT be enough www.physicswiki.net goes to page showing: Please complete the installation and download LocalSettings.php. link shows as http://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php http://192.65.240.181/ - goes to same page http://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php goes to mediawiki configuration page - strangely, clicking through the link from the main page seems to alternately give a blank page and the configuration page - might be a caching thing So... it's probably NOT a NameVirtualHost issue - as the static IP address seems to work I do find the line about LocalSettings.php not found suspicious - though that might not be created until you work through the configuration steps. your assumption is correct. If indeed the site was working correctly themediawiki server that is running would open a configuration script that would generate that file. Once installed the site should function correctly.

I have a web site established on a remote hosted VPS server system. I have full root access. I use Debian linux on my personal system (wheezy) on the remotely hosted site (squeeze). I use Godaddy as my domain registrar. I have the domain for the remotely hosted VPS site set up at Godaddy. I have the exact IP address set up there to forward to the VPS site with masking. I have a tarball based mediawiki set up on the VPS site in /var/www/ There are no links in /var/www/ to the site, the opening page is index.php is in this directory. I simply use the /sites-enabled/default in apache2 to send web queries to the VPS site. Up to here all seems to work OK. Here is the issue. When I try to access the mediawiki for configuration, using http://my.mediawiki.net (example) the site will not work as it should. It opens the startup page but will do nothing else. When I access the site with http:// 123.123.123.123 (example numerical IP address) the VPS site allows the mediawiki to run the configuration setup as it should. This is my first attempt to manage a remote site so I really need advice.

(as opposed to the default apache It's working! page) You are correct; The actual startup page for a NEW mediawiki installation is a index.php page that is in fact a script to configure the initial mwediawiki site. From that point the wiki may be edited by those that are qualified and be read by anyone on any browser. Thant page does not proper behave as a script, when accessed with the FQDN. It does however act as a script when accessed with the actual numerical IP address. When I access the site with http:// 123.123.123.123 (example numerical IP address) the VPS site allows the mediawiki to run the configuration setup as it should.

Currently for example evolution 'hides' its dot files somewhere other that a simple .evolution. I wanted to try to get it reinstalled with a completely clean setup no way to do so. I stripped every reference to evolution from the entire file system, purged the application as you suggested in your references, and reinstalled it. Well guess what, all the old stuff was still there and it still doesn't work properly. FWIW: all these issues were generated when I upgraded from squeeze to wheezy the system is wonky on several fronts. I did a NEW installation of wheezy on another system it has none of these issues.

On Fri, 2013-09-13 at 01:36 -0700, Jarrod O'Flaherty wrote: Greetings All! This is a call to Debian programmers who would be interested in spending a couple hours a month working with me on developing a One-Stop Debian Box Config Tool -- a tool intended to become the central and all-encompassing place to go to configure any and every aspect of your Debian system. CONCEPT OUTLINE = The tool will (subject to the approval of the collaborators ;) : 1. Drastically reduce the need to: a) Google every time you want to tweak feature X of package Y. b) Post to message boards when Googling fails to deliver the goods. 2. Provide users with an (ever-growing!) common repository of step-by-step recipes by which they can tweak / fix / customize / build / repair / upgrade their systems. 3. Present each step of a recipe in the form of a regular shell command, so it can be easily checked, easily modified, and -- most importantly! -- easily applied. 4. Eliminate the need to copy and paste said shell commands by providing a special terminal window as part of the interface. 5. Reduce or altogether eliminate the need to edit the shell commands by intelligently substituting installation-specific pathnames, module names, version numbers, etc. into the commands as appropriate. 6. Allow you to search the recipes using a goal-based syntax similar to the following: PATTERN) I want to: VERB + OBJECT [ + to + VALUE ] EXAMPLE) I want to: change the default GTK font size to 18pt 7. Facilitate the sending of feedback to report successes and failures using a given recipe, automatically collecting and attaching to it relevant information on the system setup as well as any (error) messages that were output during the process. 8. Play The Imperial March every time you report using a recipe successfully. (H. Then again, there could be some licensing problems there.) All frivolity aside, let's start talking about how to automate the system configuration and administration process the same way the rest of the *NIX world is automated! HOW TO GET INVOLVED Those interested should email me ( jofs...@yahoo.com ) with their: * Name * Languages Spoken/Written * Timezone of Residence * Linux Background and Proficiency * Linux Flavors Used * Programming Experience * Ways You Would Like to Help Anyone and everyone who enjoys using Linux is welcome to join. And if you would like to participate but are unsure as to how to do so, let me suggest that collaborators can, initially at least, be of greatest assistance in: * Setting up a project homepage. * Setting up a mailing list or equivalent by which collaborators can communicate. * Helping to flesh out the project scope and requirements. * Drafting up a design document and work plan. * Creating a document code repository on Github or similar. Come and join me in collaborating on a tool that's going to be the biggest revolution in Linux-box interaction since .inputrc got history-search-backward! Look forward to hearing from you! Yours Sincerely, Jarrod O'Flaherty. - I'm not a programmer but I do have a opinion. Webmin is already my 'go to' tool for a lot of those chores. The problem is it is too generic and not specific to Debian. A good place to start would be to get involved as a module writer for Webmin that is SPECIFIC to to Debian or generate an installable current Debianized fork with modules that are relative and preset for Debian. If not that then devise a system of similar capability. As far as I know the only real issue with Webmin is its just not broad based enough, and with mostly one developer, Jaime has done a remarkable job. My rarely expressed 2 cents worth. I would be willing to offer critiques from a user point and ideas if you get this rolling.

Apache2 neds to ne reset
I have an installation of Apache2 that is misconfigured no longer works. Over the last couple of years Apache has become bloated hard to manage so I tried using webmin to work out the kinks. My lack of experience has caused me to totally screw up my web server so I want to enlist some assistance. I want to know first of all if there is a way, Command line perhaps, to have apt completely reinstall all of Apache2 with the dist basic files so that it works upon startup, then I can try to reconfigure it manually. This would require removing all the old config files during the installation. I have tried using synaptic to reinstall it and it uses the old configs files, plus I don't know where all of them are hiding to delete them. Once before I had a similar issue, and to get rid of Apache to reinstall it I had to manually delete every reference to Apache, then it worked, however I also had to rebuild most of my entire Debian installation as Apache is very integrated into the requirements for many applications. Any suggestions please. Thanks! john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The biggest problems I have had with upgrades have been when lint from older releases were not cleaned up before attempting to upgrade. I have seen that it installed into a new directory as I removed every vestige of the old installation. Good. I saved the config files in a archive of the old setup just in case. Good. What I see is that the new install does NOT put ANY configs into the /etc/apache2 directory and the installation doesent seem to know that it has failed. That doesn't make sense. Files in /etc/apache2 are owned by the apache2.2-common package. You can verify this by using dpkg to list the files. dpkg -L apache2.2-common dpkg -L apache2.2-common | grep /etc/apache2/ Double check that you are installing bits from Wheezy 7 on your system and not from Unstable. In Unstable there is a large Apache transition happening and things are not in a completely happy state there yet. But that is a known and coordinated transition in Unstable. Wheezy 7 is Stable and should be working just fine. Apache does not work and though I've tried to manually install the old configs, it still doesnt work. Does anyone know of any line command dpkg. or apt that will cause a completely new installation to overwrite the current installation, and maybe fix this? I simply 'apt-get install apache2' and everything works fine. I just tested this again just now to verify. For any more complicated site there will be other choices such as for PHP and for a database and so forth. But at the simple end of things simply installing 'apache2' is sufficient. If you have a small memory machine then apache needs to have the config tweaked or it won't have enough memory. Please show the output of: apt-cache policy apache2 apache2.2-common Wheezy 7 should show version 2.2.22-13 at this moment. I suspect that you will show something different there.

Then do the same for Debian but tell grub to write to the MBR. If these are on separate disks then have the ubuntu update write to the boot partition on the disk that it is installed on. Then have debian write to the MBR. I expect that the MBR is on a Windows 7 disk that is mounted as your start up disk as Win7 does not play well elsewise. If possible you have these on separate disks then change the boot sequrence in you system bios to have your Debian disk as the first boot disk. I have such a setup. Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Windows 7 pro in that order, Each on its own disk. frosty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I must hit the reload button each time I open synaptic. That option does not appear in preferences.

I just want to know what my system is doing, by having the visual que that the popup screen provides. I 'believe' that this 'reload' is not occuring because of the time required for the screen to open to the synaptic menue. Its damn quick to open to the menu (about 2 seconds) when I manually hit the reload button it takes a few seconds (about 5 seconds)for it to finish but it shows the activity in the popup.

No it doesn't and it's good that it doesn't. Thank you! This is the answer I needed, as well as the following explanation as to why. When using a GUI to manage packages, one of the reasons to do this, is to get information, without having the need to search the web OR TO UPDATE repository information for perhaps just 1 or 100 repositories. An upgrade for 100 repositories might be a little bit annoying for some of us, with a limited lifespan. I actually never thought of synaptic from the information aspect. Good point. For some needs directly using CLI or a script is the better choice, Synaptic is quiet good for some other needs. I will handle it by altering the opening script. I still do believe it would be a good idea to offer it in preferences. again Thanks! frosty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Adobe Flash in Chromium out of date: stable debian
Far a while now the adobe flash player/plugin in Debian's Chromium browser has been 'out of date' with the approriate warnings popping up , asking to update the flashplayer. I thought the flashplayer was 'built in' in Chromium as it is in Google Chrome. I have both installed and that appears to be the case in both cases. Neithe is up to date. When I hit the 'update plugin' it sent me to adobes site to download the updated flash player. Now I already have the debian flashplugin-nonfree installed, so what is up with this. Are all of these 'out of date'? or just the flashplugin. Does Chromium actually have flashplayer built in? Yes I can hit 'run anyway, but its not what I want to do. Any ideas on how to fix this.

Just a suggestion you may have already done it:
1. Set the browser {any of them} to clear the history all cached info
every time you close it.
2. Set the browsers cache memory to at least 250Mbs more if you can
spare.

Chromium add-ons extensions
Just a quick check from the group...Is it true that Google is the only place to get add-ons extensions for Linux Chromium. I have found no references to other sites, just Google. Seems odd to me that there is no Debian repository for these, perhaps that have no Google tools built into them. Or is Linux Chromium just a sterilized version of Google Chrome rather than Chrome being and enhanced version of Chromium. Just wondering NOT being critical.

It asks if I want to run the old version I have for now. It pops up every time I go to a site that uses flash content.

powernow-k8 problem
I have been seeing a group of error messages that flash across the screen when my system boots up. It seems that something is calling for a powernow-k8 response. I have researched the messages it appears that this has to do with cpu throttling. I dont wish to have cpu throttling invoked to my knowledge have not installed anything that should be asking for it. However the messages persist. Anyone have any idea where these might be coming from. I did a search of all my installed apps none of them show this as a dependency or as installed files.

domain name issues
Running a full production server with Debian stable only. apache2, MySql, Mediawiki 1.18.1 many other apps that are all working well. The issue is; I keep getting the domain name changed by some software to 'home'. My router is provided by Verizon Fios (Westel) and the router provides primary DNS. protocol is DHCP addressing. It all works except the apache2 sometime coughs up the message cant determine FQDN reverting to 127.0.1.1 which I do not like at all. Anyone else have this issue (its recent) Even if I use the network manager and reset the domain name.

Just to clear my doubts that head people saying about its' non-compatibility with the newest hardware and not having latest technology, is it a myth? Further, I hope I can use easily Flash, Java, etc.. if Firefox if I install and go with Debian Thanks for the suggestions, SAM Hi Sam welcome to the world of Linux. I have tried them all as well as most versions of everything else out there that will run on my machines..HeHe even Minuet. I just like to try out new stuff. However I am not any kind of software developer, just a curious person, so when I need to do a job that requires 'dependable' software, I use Debian. I have been messing about with Linux since it was developed required 20 plus floppy disks just to get it to run, so I speak from that vantage point. Some bits of advice: Try out several distros of Linux that are run from a 'Live CD/DVD'. This is much easier than doing an install and experimenting on your machine. It also will allow you to test the software on 'your' hardware system. These CD/DVD can be downloaded and burnt very easily or ordered over the internet. Another upside of this process is that most of those live CDs will allow you to actually install a running system to the machine they are running on. What ever distro you choose; install midnight commander. It will at some point save your sanity. It is a superb console or xterminal file manager can be run as a superuser very easily. This mailing list gets repopulated from time to time with folks that are willing to help with getting you out of most any situation that you run into. Some are always polite and helpful, some are not so polite but still helpful. Depends on how you ask a question if you supply enough info for them to answer. I sometimes, to this day, forget when I ask a question, to do that usually do not get the response I'm seeking. Look at it from their standpoint. They are 'volunteering' their help as do the software developers of Linux (some of which frequent this list) so try not to waste their time. Always try to find your own answers before you ask here. If you do not, the way you ask the question will show that you did not. Always Read the manual, or dig on the web, check the mailing list archives, before asking your question. Remember that if you do not get an answer, it likely just means the right person has not seen the question. I have actually gone for several weeks before someone gave or pointed me to the info that allows me to find the answer to a question. Usually if its that tough or 'specific' you just have to keep trying, without ranting. NEVER post to the top of a message on this list. Have fun!

Yes, sorry that I was unclear. The log files are named, and placed in a
newly created directory with each compile. Therefore each error log has
a new name/directory. This is a function of workingwiki. This keeps them

Need help with Latex error; Sorry LONG
I have a texlive-full installation on Debian stable. I'm getting a
compile error on a Mediawiki running a workingwiki extension. This
extension is working correctly as is all of the other components.
However I get the following compile error log from the workingwiki
script.

The culprit seems to be that latex can not locate a file latexml.sty that it
needs.
On my server that file is located in /usr/share/perl5/LaTeXML/texmf/latexml.sty
Since this is a straight forward setup from debian stable, I'm wondering why
latex can not find the file it needs. Is this a bug, maybe?
Thanks!
