Re: Image in console background (no X)
I basically followed this to start Lazy Debian : fbcondecor fbsplash and Debian , although I have modified some things since then. But you should get it working before you even think about modifications of any kind. I've been planning on putting a howto together for this for a long time now but stil...

Re: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'perl'
If you're currently running stable then do a complete upgrade to testing. Don't try to do it piecemeal.

Re: increase apt-cache limit?
man apt.conf (at least in wheezy) has the following: Cache-Start, Cache-Grow and Cache-Limit APT uses since version 0.7.26 a resizable memory mapped cache file to store the 'available' information.

when you make deb-pkg you should get 3 debs, one of which is the kernel-headers.

Re: /etc/hosts file not working in Iceweasel
Do you have ip6 enabled? If so try disabling that (within iceweasel). Or else add ip6 addresses to hosts file. (Just guessing here)

Re: du command without 1024 block size
That will probably give you 1 extra directory (. the directory you're performing the find from) or if you use:
it would count /example/directory/ as well. So just adjust for that, if needed.
Code: Select all
find /example/directory/ -type d|wc -l

Re: Is root login to GUI possible?
GDM also prohibits root login by default. There are ways to override that, although the hoops involved with gdm3 are slightly more complicated then the old gdm. I assume (but don't know) that you can probably also override the prohibition in kdm. Not sure what the status of slim or other login manag...

Re: recursively set permissions for certain type of file?
+X is indeed the way to go. See man chmod for details, but the following should do the trick:
Nazir's post has more fine-grained options.
Code: Select all
chmod -R +X /example/

Re: du command without 1024 block size
I don't think you can, I think that that's default overhead for any directory and is space that's actually being used (or at least allocated). It's most likely 1 block. Among other things I believe it stores the entries for . and ..

Re: can't install new kernel for some reason
Note the results from the readelf command. Both ELF32 and "Intel 80386" tell us that you are, indeed, running a 32 bit distribution (the binaries are compiled for 32 bit rather than 64 bit). I'm not sure what the answer to your problem is, but at least now you have a clue with which to res...

Re: can't install new kernel for some reason
I suspect that you're running a 64 bit kernel but your installed system is 32 bit. This works fine, for the most part (from what I've heard, never having done it). I'm not sure how to compile a kernel in that situation though, or if a straight 64 bit kernel should work. What's the output of the foll...

Re: What version of debian do you use?
I love the Pylons web framework. More and more developers are using. It can be easily installed through a simple - though not thinner - a tool called easy_install. Easy_install is a wrapper / bootstrapper around the Python setuptools. It can be very easily installed # aptitude install python-pylons .
