Debian User Forums

My old 32 bit Sony Vaio netbook with TDE shows, at startup with htop running in a terminal, <100MB ram used. I'm gonna have to do some tweaking to get the touchpad to work properly; tapping doesn't work yet #!/bin/bash # Generic user script to enable synaptics touchpad (might work for alps) # Change...

Try that in a (user) terminal. If it works, script it and put in your user's "autostart" (don't ask me where that is in mate).

PM would be a bear to build on an older machine; it would take quite a long time, and the last linking step, when it's linking all the object ".o" files into the final binary, ends up consuming close to three GB of RAM on my machine. If your laptop had to resort to using the swap file, th...

Running TDE here on a number of Debian systems since it was first forked. I never experienced what edbarx wrote about TDE in dozens+ of TDE installs (but not nearly as good as Hallvor posted). It's normally similar resource usage to xfce4, which I also use. A TDE installation can be anything from td...

This issue has been discussed here and solved, at least for wheezy, already. You don't have to trash your nicely customized 64GB multiboot sandisk cruzer with dd. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=75604 Here's the documentation everyone missed (which, like "unetbootin", use...

Do you know if that is also true when installing TDE on Debian via the ppas mentioned above ? Install something like "tde-core-trinity" instead of "tde-trinity"? Essentially, yes, that's what I meant. Individual packages are installable for Debian, testing/sid however is as alwa...

Here's a shout-out to Exegnulinux, a TDE-based Debian respin; a jessie-based version is here: http://exegnulinux.net/downloads/jessie/ Thanks dasein but please note Jessie versions are actually now Devuan-based. Hallvors points about TDE are mostly correct. I have used it from it's very beginning o...

Might sort your problem: https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall

Maybe.. you also need to turn off "secure boot" or enable a new OS in your "bios" setup.

Never had much luck using any gui for audio cd but this works for me (and is simpler than gui): # edit to suit: DEVICE=/dev/sr0 WORK_DIR=/path/to/my/wav/file(s) #remove "-dummy" after test wodim -v -dummy -eject -pad speed=12 dev=$DEVICE -dao -swab $WORK_DIR/*.wav| tee wodim_log Anything w...

I don't use ubuntu but that happens here, on reboot between different debian systems. It is for sure video ram not flushed (old nvidia fx5200, no proprietary driver)

I just put up with it rather than pay to replace what otherwise works.

You don't need to buy anything nor need any cd installer. It can be done from just about any networked GNU/Linux installation with debootstrap.

Thanks ed. After checking lazurus and fpc versions are as yours (they were not) and deleting ~/.lazarus it built. Now to test it!

Message after "Quick compile" in lazarus (there is no "compile" button):

Hopefully, this sets everyone interested in using this project going.

Not quite.. I too am interested and want a functional gui alternative to wicd. So far only the backend executable appears here in ~/netman.git/backend_src/src. Can you please clarify the build instructions?

Where did you find the information for the exegnulinux repo? My sources line returns a file not found error only in the amd64 build. I admin that one.. and don't have any amd64 machine to build and test things so no amd64-specific stuff there for now. I do try to post sources so you could build you...

My install, with added and fully-functional XFCE4, TDE, eudev and consolekit2 is certainly no toy, it's good enough for my main OS !

The current package (1.0.72-1+devuan1) installed from http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ works fine here this way: debootstrap --arch i386 --exclude systemd,systemd-sysv,libsystemd0 jessie your/bootstrap/location No need to specify a URL. At the moment you still need the excl...

I am in the long wait to install Devuan as that is only my present hope. When I succeed to install Devuan on my system, partition /dev/sda8 is patiently waiting for it to be filled

No need to wait. Devuan's debootstrap works. Read mailing list for further details.

why not let it use dbus.. your can recompile dbus yourself, I did.
