Re: Slackware as home server
I have a home server that runs on Slackware and it has been quite painless (it also hosts my personal Mediagoblin instance in addition to my blog). Slackware comes with Apache pre-installed but it is configured slightly different than Debian. For example, it is called "htttpd' instead of Apache...

Resigning from forum staff
I do not wish to follow Debian in the direction the project has chosen. I am therefore resigning from my position on the forum staff and will not be visiting the forum as much in the future.

Re: Potential Member not allowed to register
I don't know what to do about such situations. My (limited) understanding is that the forum gets its IP block lists from about ten different services. There are apparently some PHPBB mods available that permit whitelisting, but I don't know whether they are installed (and I do not have access to the...

700 mb of ram are not enough to cache data? Or, for the ones who consider a 2 Gig machine low-resources, 1700 mb ? Since I cleared my caches last night, I have built up nearly 3GB of cached blocks.

Re: operating systems without systemd
Well: I got machines with more ram too. Thing is: none of them uses more than +/- 300 (with claws, firefox, pidgin and tilda running). Most of that being used by firefox, of course. Not that sure what would be the point to get more ram .... so that more sits idle? Linux will use any available spare...

Re: Help with Partition Problem (I possibly lost all my data
I think you would have to run it once for each partition on the disk, changing the START value to be the end of the previously rescued partition. (It still might not have helped with your luks filesystems.)henker wrote:parted rescue didn't work. It only detected my /boot partition

Re: User folder can be fully migrated to difference arch?
I would say that for the most part doing so should be quite safe and produce no problems, though there may be a couple of things to look out for. For example, if you have GIMP plug-ins installed in $HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins that were compiled for x86_64 then they would need to be re-compiled for i386...

Jessie is now "frozen"
The Debian release team today announced that Debian 8.0 (Jessie) is frozen. This basically means that only changes that fix critical bugs will be accepted (some exceptions may be allowed, but only with a waiver from the release team).

Re: stripe_cache_size
You can not create directories or files in /sys because it is a virtual filesystem (mounted as type sysfs). This is a means for the kernel to provide information and in some cases receive it. In the latter case, you can write to the file if it already exists, though not all files in /sys are write-a...

I think the problem is that the nvidia driver does not support hotplugging. Perhaps you would be willing to try the nouveau driver.

It may be that your user has a different locale than root. Try the following: As root, edit /etc/passwd and delete the " x " from the line that begins with " username:x: " As root, edit /etc/shadow and delete everything between the first and second colons in the line containing t...
