Better late than never. Yup.

Sure i speak for myself. For whom else ? Do i need to mention in each and every post that i speak for myself? Ok. I just spoke for myself. I also spoke for myself in all other posts i have made. I will speak for myself in all future posts i will make. Oh. Let me follow the other vogue too: Thanks (f...

I think what you want is anything of the following 1) apt-get install live-build lb config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live lb build You might want to create a working directory for that. It will take a bit of time until lb build is finished. 2) refractasnapshot http://distro.ibiblio.org/ref...

During this period craigevil and the spamhunters were having to fight this problem with the limited tools they had available... forgot that as well? There is no need for a good memory. All needed is a searchengine. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=83837 (so: what cynwulf says is no...

the members of this forum may believe this forum runs from fuel produced by their freedoms alone. Nah. You will need a server, a lamp and phpbb too. The last two are for free. If you can't find the first in the garbage or can't afford electricity costs you can use freeforums for free. Else? Dunno. ...

it seemed quite safe to use experimental for iceweasel, so i did that yesterday. xfce i think i'll leave alone at 4.8. (although nadir has it working, i probably wouldn't be able to fix what i break. thanks though, nadir -- i do appreciate it) now it seems ive got quite the reading list, thanks to ...

Flamewars invovlving FOSS issues aren't nearly as bad as you might think Regardless of what someone might profess to "think," flamewars are destructive by their very nature, which is why they are expressly prohibited on nearly every forum on the Web. (And the one forum that I know of that...

user$ wnpp-check mruby mruby (ITP - #697835) The ITP, comment 20 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23697835#20 gives a link: https://github.com/organizations/mruby-debian but it is "dead". Perhaps an email to the developer Nobuhiro Iwamatsu and asking what happened to the g...

I would have seen a reason for a thanks 1 and half a year ago.
In other words: When the spam problem first got out of hand, was mentioned in a thread, where possible solutions were proposed (and ignored, for said time).

nadir: did you just aptitude install -t experimental xfce4?

I used apt-get, but yes, that is all i did.

Mind you (seems obvious, but anyway): i did it this morning and hence can only say that it works so far.

Hi all. Thought this might be a good place to post this if anyone is interested. I'm a non-technical user, i.e. graduated in the arts with zero programming experience except some basic HTML learnt for fun. I got pretty interested in (GNU/)Linux a fairly long time ago due to the philosophy behind it...

Forewarning: Politics generally tends to end in flamewars. So expect flamewars. Anything slightly more interesting than talking about the weather tends to end in flamewars. I myself am not much interested in talking about the weather. s/flamewar/extended discussions/ might be an idea to solve such ...

Ok, adding experimental repo worked in Virtualbox. I used refracta, which is based on Debian Wheezy (at the end of the day it _is_ Wheezy, slightly customized). As far i can tell right now it worked, i rebooted and started the desktop. Installation took a few minutes (rather seconds). If there is mo...

I always try to keep things as simple as possible. As far it comes to mixing testing/unstable and experimental i do it like this: Add the repos for unstable and create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf with this content: APT::Default-Release testing; apt-get update Add the repo for experimental. Installing l...

I had a lot of "it is just me" and "this is weird" with virtuabox.
The last two years have been rather "stable", but nothing surprises me when it comes to virtualbox. I usually ignore it and just wait.

i know enough about debian package management to understand that mixing repos is possible but probably not preferable. would it make things very unstable to do this? Mixing stable with anything but backports is not preferable. Not preferable translates to a simple answer: No. Else it's fine. Usuall...

but i think Hanomag would be the better choice.

It is unlikely that what history reports will be the entire truth either as most often the winner writes what we have in our history books, thus tainted by the view of the winner and why what they opposed was so bad. Unless history is reported by a non-partasent who knows and understands both sides...

As at least some of the new man in red post regularly
a less aggressive color wouldn't hurt.
Iow words: Yes, i too see a sea of red.

Or is there any place on earth where red doesn't mean "big danger"?
