DHCP not working for attempted Jessie install
Hi, I have installed Debian dozens of times since 2003 but never ran into any significant problems. I just rebuilt my main home machine with pretty standard equipment including both on-board Realtek eth0 and wlan0 via a PCI card. I had an old Debian 6.03 amd64 netinst disc lying around, and the install of Squeeze was flawless,as was the dist-upgrade to Wheezy. However, I could not successfully dist-upgrade to Jessie so I decided to install using an 8.1 image instead. All of this was done over the wireless card. It should be noted that DHCP worked effortlessly. The first attempt with the stock amd64 netinst image for 8.1 ran into trouble due to lack of firmware. However I was able to put the requested debs on a USB stick and proceed. However, I could not get my router to autoconfigure either the eth0 interface or the wlan0 interface with DHCP. I tried manually assigning an IP address instead, but still no successful networking when the time came to connect to the mirror. After consulting this list last night, I tried the unofficial netinst image with non-free firmware from cdimage.debian.org, and got identical results (except no warnings about missing firmware). So I find it baffling that the official 8.1 installer fails on the same hardware where the 6.0.3 installer works perfectly. For the moment I am just installing Squeeze with the plan to upgrade to Wheezy, like I did yesterday, and just use that until Jessie has had some more time to get any issues worked out. I always used to run Sid,and I wouldn't mind doing so again if the above issue is recognized by someone here as something that has been fixed in unstable. Any general ideas would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to provide more details if it will help advance the project. I realize this post is somewhat lacking in detail, as I'm hoping that this scenario may ring a bell with someone, so to speak. I'm a surgeon rather than an engineer or anything like that, but I have been using Debian and similar systems for a long time. -- David Bruce For all your software needs, visit The Apt Store: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main

Re: Bizarre issue: USB 3 disconnecting and dying
How long are your USB-cables? What kind of power supply do you have, and what else is drawing power? I just went from a PSU specced at 5x the needed sustained power to 10x . Got a slight but definite improvement in USB stability. Yes, my system is drawing ~ 150w from a 1200w supply. Externally powered hubs were no help. 5v is specced at 30amps max. I still get drop-outs , very rarely reqiuring hard boot now, except if I try the multi-media-keys on my back-lit usb2.0 keyboard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Like you in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/04/msg01423.html I revisit this problem once in a while. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783410 seems to have fallen on deaf ears, so in the meantime, here's a solution: Reboot, At grub's prompt type e to edit, Add forcefsck to the end of the linux ...line, Ctrl-X or F10 to boot. This will fsck (just this once) all the partitions that shutdown -t1 -a -r -F now would do in the traditional manner in wheezy and previously. All that's missing is any progress indication because that bit of code in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh didn't get copied.

no keyboard layouts after upgrade
Hi everyone! I updated my Debian 7 and got lots of problems. The biggest one for now is that I don't have any way to switch the keyboard layouts. gnome-control-center was removed during dist-upgrade so I had to reinstall it manually. Now I set two input sources there (Russian + English), but there is no menuitem Layouts in Keyboard->Shortcuts. I found a "switch to next input source", it says Shift+Space, but does not work at all. root@# cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux 8 \n \l root@# cat /etc/debian_version 8.1 Thanks for your help. -- С уважением, Дмитрий А.

A Question about the Application Called mail or mailx
Until I get out-bound messages going through nmh properly, I have found a possible stop-gap measure to use. The old "mail" application or "mailx" if one has heirloom-mail does work but I have a question about piping a message to it. It looks from documentation that mail can read headers such as: From: "martin McCormick" To: mar...@testhost.com Subject: Will this ever work? that are embedded in a message file if one sends a command something like mail -t [filename] but what actually happens when I try this is an error stating a complaint that there are no recipients on the command line. That's right. I put them in the file so I shouldn't have to put them in the command line. Should this work and produce a sent message? Thank you.
