Debian User Forums

Debian, no doubt, is a winner. King of stability!! And then, I love what Slackware stands for, too!

Is this a habit acquired working in a daycare centre?

A move towards non-complexity, maybe? Simplicity?!

Hello! I am new to the forums but have used Debian for some time now. I was just wondering if it would be permissible to start a show on Youtube that covers strictly Debian-related news topics. The show would mainly be produced as a hobby, and to help me improve my audio/video editing skills a bit....

Hey thanks guys...

Hi. I just wanted to know as to how do you do Debian minimal installation of xfce from the minimal net-install image to get things going, for e.g sound and other things. I am aware that I need to install xorg, xfce4 for getting into the gui and alsa utils for working sound environment...., I thought...

Hi. I downloaded this "debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst" iso image....But on the partitioning screen, after selecting the manual partitioning, it shows the whole hard disk without detecting the XP partitions. I am not sure of anything which can cause this thing and I can't begin the installatio...

"What is a "Real" Debian user?"

One who knows it and runs it and if possible, helps others to do the same. And what is this CLI and GUI bullshit?

Hi Nadir. Thanks for the reply. Honestly, I gave up and just uninstalled the xfce( Everytime I use xfce I face this thing). Now, I have netinstall iso. I am now not giving up and want to really know what is causing this. I want to test by downloading minimum xfce. So, would you recommend this comman...

Hi. If there are any xfce users who could confirm this, I would appreciate this. After fresh install of xfce, on going to the window theme manager option under xfce settings, while browsing down the themes for xfwm, it goes/logs out and thereafter I am stuck at the gdm. No matter how many times I do...

Hi. laxman@debian:$ cat .xsession-errors /etc/gdm/xsession: Beginning session startup ...... xfdesktop [1977]: starting up x-session-manager: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server: 0.0 xfwm4: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server: 0.0 xfsettingsd...

When you ran 'rm -rf .*' you deleted all config folders/files (everything starting with a dot). This may have helped. But whenever you have trouble logging in or with some graphical application, have a look in ~/.xsession-errors for hints. How do I do that? AND most importantly, how do I know if th...

Hi.

Unfortunately, I have encountered the same problem again. I was browsing through the windows manager default themes from the settings. I haven't installed anything from outside. What is causing it?


Again the same gdm. I login, a beep sound and again the same gdm. I can't get to the desktop.

I really don't understand what happened. This time I logged in and it was alright. And I have done it few times to check the same and its alright for yet.

On giving the command It says, no directory ".*" I gave this command immediately after login as normal user. Is that it?

I am posting this from Windows installation.

If you don't mind losing your settings (that is, returning to Debian's defaults), login to the console (ctrl+alt+f1) as your normal user and delete all hidden stuff from your home folder rm -rf .* Then reboot. (I'm guessing you don't have normal data in hidden folders or files) I have just installe...

Though I don't know much, what would upgrading to sid accomplish?

I want to run squeeze as stable. I have "squeeze" in my sources.list.

I again checked. Once I type username and password in the gdm screen it again comes back to the same screen.

I have installed nothing extraneous. I was browsing through the Window manager themes options provided by the Settings in Xfce that it went back to the login screen.

hi. I have installed Debian squeeze(testing) xfce. While I was changing selecting themes for the xfce window manager. It logged off and came to the login screen(gdm I think). On giving the username and password, it again comes to the same login screen. I can't get to the desktop. What should I do? :...
