Debian User Forums

It's pointless. You are asking people on a Debian enthusiast's forum to choose between Debian and alternatives. What did you expect? This sort of poll belongs in some computer magazine that has no ties to any favourites. Bulkley is right. If you survey intelligent people you are likely to get many ...

The difference is aptitude will by default remove packages that were automatically installed and apt-get does not.

Unless you change it you will still be running testing and very soon that will no longer be wheezy or 7.0.

You should look into Debian Edu.

We have recently gotten a few of these where I work. The Ivy Bridge wants a newer kernel, I think 3.6 or newer and the driver for the HD4000 is in the kernel after 3.6.10 IIRC. In one case we had a system that would lock up that was fixed with the later kernel.

I too had this problem today. I first removed google-chrome-beta and installed google-chrome-stable, which seemed to fix the problem but I did not like so I uninstalled flashplugin-nonfree, reinstalled google-chrome-beta, removed ~.config/google-chrome and have had no problem since.

system.h is in the kernel source. In debian you can install the linux-headers package to get it installed.

Actually this works in Debian squeeze and has for over a year. What you should do is install grub to the raid array, eg /dev/md0. Make all disks bootable. Grub2 has the ability to assemble raid arrays and read from them. It can even deal with LVM where the entire RAID array is a volume group and /bo...

Started with bo and I have been running unstable ever since.

Have you edited /etc/default/apcupsd to contain
ISCONFIGURED=yes
?

Parted with the -s switch allows this also. For example ~ $parted -s /dev/sda print Model: ATA ST31500341AS (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 1500GB 1500GB primary boot, raid

The What , Who and How of the Linux Kernel is an interesting presentation.

You should be getting a message about what the problem is. I saw this a few days ago running sid and I think the problem was that it required netbase => 5.0.

Network drives are mounted by /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs which is run after the network is brought up if your network is brought up by ifupdown, which should be true if you have a wired connection and might or might no be if you are using wireless. If your network interface is listed in /etc/netw...

I use screen for this and define an alias for it.

alias scx='screen -S STARTX -d -m startx -- :0'

So I ssh in and run scx and log out. I can then login and run screen -R to get back into that session and kill it with CTL-c if I want.

cynwolf had this figured out. The new motherboard has a Broadcom network card that requires firmware. The package he suggested does not have the needed firmware though. You need either firmware-brcm80211 or firmware-bnx2 I think. One or the other of them should contain the appropriate firmware for t...

I would just mount them and use cp -a.

It appears that you are trying to create free disk space or a new partition between sda8 and sda9. I think your best bet is to shrink sda9 to the size of the desired new partition at the beginning of the current sda9, then create sda10 where you want the current sda9 to be, copy the contents of sda9...

Looking in "man scp" I find the -r and -p options.

-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.

-r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.

I am not sure exactly what the problem is but I think it is in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. This one works. You probably need to be able to resolve the readhost. dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost' dc_other_hostnames='' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.89.3' dc_readhost='aircraz...
