Bug#865015: debian-installer: Live installers are unable to start, "There was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM"

2017-06-22 Thread piruthiviraj natarajan
It turns out that my write to USB had an error as dd didn't do a good job
on my thumb drive. But again I used dd to write the image and it worked
great and I am able to  complete install. Thank you so much steve.

I know this is wrong place to ask, but anyone know why I am not able to do
root login in a bash shell via gnome-terminal?

I tried this image and it breaks down after running for a while, bringing
up the same error message.

currently this workaround doesn't help either. we are dying out here with
this wireless card for months. Please somebody help!


Bug#734976: a workaround

2014-01-29 Thread piruthiviraj natarajan
echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1"
>> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-disable11n.conf

This seems to help prevent the error messages from dmesg.

Package: gtk+2.0

When you add a torrent you should be able to download it to a user
specified location on your hard disk. But in Deluge 1.3.3 when you
select  file->add a torrent->options->downloadlocation-> other(scroll
down to the lowest in the menu).  What ever location you set in
"other" is not recognized by the application and it sets itself to
default /home/user/Downloads.

This issue is fixed in 2.24.18 upstream.
Please update.

Bug#703673: Request to backport acpi changes to Debian sid for proper acpi child device handling

2013-03-21 Thread piruthiviraj natarajan
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.2.39-2
Severity: important
There is a upstream linux kernel bug
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42696 which prevents the
Lenovo Y580/Y470/Y570 and Toshiba Satellite P870  devices unable to
find the Nvidia card through proper acpi device handling.
It has been discussed in detail in this thread as well at bumblebee
git page too. https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/issues/2

It has been fixed since Linux kernel 3.9 rc2 through this patch
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=89731.
The bug applies to wheezy as well and backporting the new kernel
changes would fix the proper acpi handling.

I hereby request the kernel maintainers to backport these changes to
Debian wheezy.

Thank you,

Dr. Piruthiviraj Natarajan

But after doing an apt-get autoclean, it left some packages in the
cache(after removing some vlc related .deb files), and I found that the
action was incomplete and  it didn't remove the packages that I downloaded
from the experimental repos and testing.
I still have iceweasel_10.0.11esr-1_amd64.
deb from testing repo.
linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64_3.7.1-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb from
experimental repo.
These .deb files are still located in my /var/cache/apt/archives/
These files should have been deleted by the autoclean command.

I reported this in debian-user mailing list and was directed to file a
bugreport here.
I can give you more info if you want.

You want us to change the type "bin_t" into what?
