Thanks.

Hello I am looking to buy a Debian book to learn more and have a Debian book on hand for learning to do things in Debian. I am interested in this book http://www.amazon.com/Debian-System-Concepts-Techniques/dp/1593272197/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277070618&sr=1-1 What does everyone...

Thanks but what about a package for nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.32.2 which I think is the current kernel in squeeze. Wouldn't I need a package such as this if this is the kernel I will be using in squeeze? Will the nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx source package make make the nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2....

Hello I'm currently using ubuntu 10.04 but I don't like it because it is not stable on my computer. I would like to switch back to debian squeeze for it's stability but I can't install the non free driver for my nvidia card because the nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx package is not in squeeze. I need this...

Thank you very much it works now.

Hi, I'm confused. The contents of what file are you talking about? Are you talking about /root/LIve/chroot/bootstrap? I don't have this on my debian system. Thanks.

Oh ok thanks. I tried live-magic the gui tool for live-helper and didn't have this problem. However I would like to use the commandline becaue it has more options.

Is there a way to somehow reset live-helper?

Hi, I'm trying to build a debian live cd image with the debian installer included but the process seems to hang at retrieving release. Anyone know why this is happening? I do lh config --debian-installer enabled cdrom -d squeeze -p gnome-core is this correct? I was able to make a live image with jus...

Been using Debian Squeeze for about a week or two now and like it very much. I use gnome and it currently has some very visible and obvious bugs like random nautilus crashes when browsing through folders but it is to be expected for a release that has not yet been classified as being stable. Other t...

Thanks.

Hi thanks for the reply. I'm confused. Will I get the new versions of packages once they have been marked as safe for the testing branch via update manager? Thanks.

Hi I am currently using Debian squeeze and have some questions about squeeze and sid. If there is a package/dependencies breakage in squeeze, it may take weeks or months for it to be fixed in squeeze? Is this correct? In sid, it only takes days for things to get fixed. Is this correct? What exactly ...

Hi thanks for the info. I will wait until nautilus gets into the testing branch from the unstable branch. It's not a big deal that it doesn't work as intended as I am using a yet to be released version of Debian. I am visually impaired and more important is that orca is quite functional which is cur...

Hi, I'm using Debian squeeze and also experiencing the same nautilus bug but I will keep it because it is much faster than Ubuntu. I will be installing Debian squeeze on my playstation 3 as well. I have a visual impairment and orca in Debian squeeze works much better and is more responsive than in U...

Thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to change the behavior with separate windows opening up when i double click in folders in nautilus file browser. I want folders to open up in a single window but when I go to change this behavior by going to edit properties menu in nautilus, it seems to crash and make my desktop icons...

LOL. I feel stupid. I thought it was a bug. I just thought of that right after i submitted the post and was going to delete it until it said that the topic could not be deleted becaue someone had replied to it. Thanks.

Hello, I'm running debian squeeze and everything is working well except that I am missing my volume icon in the top panel by where the network icon and the time information is. I am running debian squeeze on a 2.53GHz gateway pc with 512MB of ram. How can I get this icon to appear? Thanks.
