I guess it was the Time of the 80486 and I missed my 80286 with Coherent on it. no X.

The last two times I installed Debian I chose to have /var and /home on different partitions. This time it is only swap that has it's own partition. I removed the cdrom from the sources.list file (I kind of think this fixed a lot of stuff as no PHP 8 software got installed.) I installed apache2 and ...

Yes php-mysql is installed. I compared the new system to the old system to see if the phpmyadmin database was present... it is not. There is no phpmyadmin database so http://localhost/phpmyadmin throws the message. I wonder if exporting the phpmyadmin database from machine X and importing it to mach...

Debian 11, mariadb 10.5.18, Apache2, PHP 7.4.33 I've attempted to get phpmyadmin running 3 times with the same results (insert the definition of insanity) I install the software from the Debian repository on my DVD in the process it adds php8.x "by default" I had installed PHP 7.4 I can lo...

I restarted my Debian 11 box after getting home form work. It went in to Emergency mode. I logged in and ran journalctl -xb I found a bunch of warnings and some errors. acpi bios warning (bug): optional FADT field PM2 (brown) tsc: unalbe to calibarate against PIT (brown) mtrr: your cpus had inconsid...

Solved.

My mistake it was "amd64-microcode". I don't use Wifi. I installed isenkram with apt, Following the How to "Install and Configure Bullseye". I then ran it install using the guide isenkram-autoinstall-firmware I see it installed This is from the history.log Start-Date: 2023-04-04 ...

So I installed the amd64 firmware restarted and it failed to start with... Apr 4 17:43:31 impala kernel: [ 7.120339] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:05:00.0.bin (-2) Apr 4 17:43:31 impala kernel: [ 7.120432] firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmwa...

Now that's the best HOW TO!

Thank You Hallvor!

The change to "defaults" worked.

And it's the word 'defaults' not "default" ugh rookie mistake.
Is it okay to tab out the entries so they are columnar?
and should I remove the ",discard" from the other two rows?

Well I changed the fstab and had the same result. When I restarted it did this again. "You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" (it goes off the picture I took...) "system logs, "systemctl reboot", to reboot, "systemctl default" or &q...

Debian is installed on a 500gig SSD drive sda I have another SSD drive with two partitions /dev/sdb1 and sdb2 /media/samuel/www /media/samuel/db I backed up the fstab file to fstab.bak If I click on either one and enter my credentials it mounts and both become useable In fstab I added /media/samuel/...

In the process of doing a rebuild and trying different OS's FreeBSD, GhostBSD, Fedora, and Ubuntu then going to Debian because it's right. I now have a couple 500gig SSD's to repurpose from my W10 PC. I would like to add them to my Debian box and put Apache and Mariadb on separate drives. I've not d...

Solved.
It is a client (me) issue, I had been using VNC on W10 to connect to my RPi's for a long time, I didn't realize I needed to log in to the RealVNC account on the client machine...
Thank You all for putting up with me

This is the command I used was from "bobcares.com sudo /sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p TCP --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT It first failed at --dport I removed on of the '-' and ran it again and got the bad argument '5900'. But if iptables is not being used I was barking up the wrong tree, like my golden r...

I recently installed Debian 11 Bullseye with Mate` I have several other computers including W10, W11, and RPOS (raspberry pie Debian). I can connect to my rpi's from W10 and W11. I have an account for RealVNC, downloaded and installed both the client and server. The client works fine, I can connect ...

Perhaps start out as a member of a team so you can find out what it is all about.

I started my Linux journey in the late 1990's Debian Hamm and ran it for several years moving through the updates to Etch. Life, carrier, kids all came along, mostly carrier and I left Linux behind. I've been in technology sense 1989, so many changes in so many ways, from 13 inch terminals to 30 inc...
