Welcome to the club, Jose!   I do the same sort of thing for old Macintosh 
PowerPC machines.  It’s actually kind of fun… (for certain definitions of “fun” 
 <-: )

You may find a distro targeted at so called “embedded” computers that will run 
on your hardware.  Do a Google search for “debian linux embedded x86”.   That 
seems to have some useful pointers.

Top of the list is “emdebian”.  The Emdebian page says:

So you can at least get a version of Wheezy that might work on your hardware.  
Jessie looks to be not in the cards.  I guess porting Systemd to minimal 
hardware was just too hard…  )-:

A little further down the list is Voyage Linux, which is a Debian derivative.  
I’ve used Voyage.  Some of the things they do to make it fit in a very small 
footprint are quite creative!  I learned a lot when I was doing that work.

Good luck, and have lots of fun!

Look around and see if you can find a copy of fvwm 1.24r - I ran that
for years on a 386 with little RAM without any problems. Version 2 is a
little heavier, but you can compile it yourself and leave out options
you don't need, like pixmap support for the titlebars etc.

Where you will also find problems is with various distros that 
supposedly support Pentiums but that require PAE, which is missing from 
a lot of them.


Another huge issue is finding a windowing system that will be 
lightweight enough to run in the memory older Pentium-based computers 
are likely to support.


Debian is good starting point but you may want to start with as minimal 
an install as possible and only add things as you need them.

Old Computers

2015-06-01 Thread Jose Martinez

Hey guys,
I'm about to be blessed with several old PC computers.  By old I mean 
that some of them will not even have CDROM drives on them.  I will 
probably tear them all down, mix-and-match parts and make the best 
system(s) I can from those parts.  This is something I've done before, 
so the technical aspects are not a problem.  I expect to use the 
resulting system(s) solely for "play" purposes to experiment with and 
delve into the depths of the system programming primarily for 
educational purposes.  If any of you remember Scotty from the original 
Star Trek series and how he spent his off/vacation time pouring over 
tech manuals and playing with gadgets, well that's me!


The question is, will jessie install and run on these old systems? If 
not, can I still get a debian distro that will?  I expect that the 
processors on at least one of them will be at least i386 or better, so I 
also expect that jessie will install and run, but that my main problem 
will be with drivers for the legacy peripherals.


I just can't find it within me to throw out what is, other than being 
old, a good usable computer system.


I appreciate any information y'all can send my way.

1. Create a second partition with fdisk or cfdisk. 

Done.  By default, fdisk created a Type 83 partition.  I added "mkfs.ext2 
/dev/sdc2" after physically removing/reinserting the drive to give it a file 
system.  This causes problems later on.  I changed the partition type to Type 7 
(HPFS/NTFS/exFat) and formatted as such because it mounts when I get to step 6.

1a. Mount the partition and copy preseed.cfg to it.

Done.  I also ran "chmod 777 preseed.cfg" to eliminate any possible permissions 
problems.  

2. Boot into the installer. Select expert mode from the Advanced menu.

Selected advanced options, cursor down to Expert Install.  Done.


 3. Press TAB and add file=/mnt/preseed.cfg to end of the displayed
   command.

Done.

 4. Boot the kernel.

Done.


 5. At the first screen switch to a console (ALT-F2). 'ls -l /dev/sdb*' 
  
   should help identify the second partition on the USB stick. Mount
   this partition; e.g: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /mnt.

The first screen of the install is to select language, for which there is an 
option in preseed.cfg.  At this point, the install does not appear to be 
parsing preseed.cfg, but I haven't yet customized preseed.cfg.

However, setting the partition type of /dev/sdb2 to Type 7 lets me mount 
/dev/sdb2 on /mnt as vfat, so I have some progress.

6. Proceed with the install.

What makes it go?  The objective is a totally hands off install, but I exit the 
console and I'm still on the first screen of the Expert Install with the 
process awaiting input.

As above, but make sure the third partition starts after the end of the
first partition.

I tried.  Each and every attempt to create /dev/sdb3 ends up with the tool 
trying to replace /dev/sdb1.  I understand clearly that I may use space from 
sector 454656 to the end of the drive, but what tool best sets up that third 
partition?  I tried fdisk, cfdisk, GNU parted, Kparted, and Gparted.

Please do not top-post.

I've just created a fresh ODT document with some text, and a table with
custom formatting. Saving and re-opening produced the expected outcome -
every cell format was preserved. Said document is small enough so I
attach it to e-mail.

Please describe the problem in more detail, or (better) provide some

I wish to use LibreOffice Calc.
Two problems:
  1. I need the text of Help Screens to be large enough to read.
  2. I want to force a specific default Font Family and Font

Hurray!

2015-06-01 Thread notoneofmy
Hat's off to the dev team.

I just plugged my laptop on the network with my NAS and was able to
search the NAS for files. And it worked great.

I'm so happy; this has been a great pain as it was possible in OSX and
then removed in 10.7.

I no longer have to suffer the indignity of Apple's bait and switch.

And what more; I kept changing the file name I'm searching for and the
update to the new searches were quite fast. For me, this is reason
enough to be this happy to write and say, thanks a lot guys!

If I can right click and arrange files by types, dates, etc, this would
be wonderful.

Keep up the great work!

Does the people you can not make video call have camera and can make video

I've read that a virtualbox guest VM can run dual monitors (you could

Re: much longer boot time with jessie

2015-06-01 Thread Fekete Tamás
Hello!

I was over of the 10'th reboot, when I gave up and reinstalled wheezy (I
was unable to
modify the starting processes as well. I wanted to do it, because I hate
starting into gdm3,
and the system was not able to handle update-rc.d -f gdm3 remove command. I
mean gdm3
was disappeared from rc.x directories, but systemd was still boot me into
gdm3.)

So, firstly the slowlyness was not because of the first boot (because I
tried more than 10times)
Secondly, I can not say how the system would act for commands given by
Michael (because
I moved back to wheezy)

The only thing I can add to this topic that the problem came not because of
a
bad apt-get dist-upgrade, because boot was slowly even if I installed a
completely new jessie.

Based on your answers, it seems my problem is an exception and not the rule.
But it seems something is not okay with the new jessie, that's sure.

In essence, you need to set the IP of each interface to be part of the
network, set the netmask to encompass the part of the network which can
be directly reachable on that network, and set the gateway address to
point to a host which can forward packets on to hosts outside that
network. (So, for the local network, there'd be no gateway). If you
don't turn on IP_Forwarding ("cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding" should be 0,0), then the kernel
won't sent packets between the interfaces.

There are numerous ways to achieve this. You can set the information
statically in /etc/network/interfaces. You can set the information
statically in a GUI such as Network Manager or WICD. You can push the
information to your host using DHCP.

1. Create a second partition with fdisk or cfdisk. Mount the partition
   and copy preseed.cfg to it.

2. Boot into the installer. Select expert mode from the Advanced menu.

3. Press TAB and add file=/mnt/preseed.cfg to end of the displayed
   command.

4. Boot the kernel.

5. At the first screen switch to a console (ALT-F2). 'ls -l /dev/sdb*'  
 
   should help identify the second partition on the USB stick. Mount
   this partition; e.g: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /mnt.

6. Proceed with the install.

As above, but make sure the third partition starts after the end of the
first partition.

Fine. We'll agree with that.

Ideally, in a home environment with few machines available and certainly not

dd an i386 netinst image to a USB stick. Now do 'fdisk -l /dev/sdX' and
post the output. 'X' can be found from the the last few lines of the
output of the dmesg command. It might be a or b etc.

Repeat for an amd64 netinst image and again post the output.
I'll continue, but now I'm stupid.  The earlier attempts have involved doing a 
dd of boot.img to the USB thumb drive, and then copying the installation ISO 
intact to that same drive.   THAT'S the process that gives me the four 
partitions that look like gibberish. It was multiple efforts to get the ISO 
image onto a partition for read/write access.

This one may/may not look better, but I will comply.

The results from

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

after:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M count=60 && sync
dd if=debian-7.8.0-[arch]-netinst.iso && sync

 for both a i386 and amd64 netinst image, correct?

I am in video group, lib4l-0 library is installed and I replaced the line
Exec=skype %U with the line 
Exec=LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype %U
in /usr/local/applications/skype.desktop.

No luck. When I try to establish a connection, the interface still comes up
with the camera icon crossed out. I assume that this icon should not be
crossed out at any time, even before contact is made.

I notice that besides the crossed out video camera, to the left of the
interface is the IM symbol. Does this mean that the communication mode
I'm trying to establish is IM, not video? Under General Options, enabled
is call rather than chat. 

I notice now that the contact with whom the problem first came up has a
little blue video camera icon to the far right in my list of
contacts. That icon is missing for another contact. What does this icon
mean?

A web search suggests to me that the most likely expansion of MCQ is
"Multiple Choice Questionnaire". In that case, this[1] is probably a
good place to start. I don't know how many, if any, of those
applications are in Debian, but Debian does make for a decent host to a
web application.

possibility of faking displays

2015-06-01 Thread Venkat Ragavan Swaminathan
I am trying understand the possibility of achieving this:

I have an N2600 motherboard and using Debian 6 (2.6.32).
 I for sure know that, If  need to control my display devices I need
to update my Xorg and Kernel.
 Which in current situation i do not see any possibility due to
business implications.
 So. is there a way i make my kernel with MODPROBE or some mechanism
to detect my displays (HDMI& VGA)
 So that from application i can use both screens to display.
 I am okay to use even VESA driver.
