What it won't do is remove any packages. So if upgrading foo requires bar to be removed in order to satisfy dependencies, foo won't be upgraded. Dist-upgrade/full-upgrade will remove package to satisfy dependencies. Debian does avoid major version changes in stable and old-stable.

Can I download Debian, delete > Ubuntu and have Debian accept the Ubuntu files? Unless I misunderstand your meaning, no. What you can do is wipe Ubuntu and install Debian while preserving your home directory data, and reusing many of your system and user-space customisations, while installing as many of the Debian versions of the Ubuntu apps as possible. This is easiest if you have /home on a separate partition but always possible even if you RAID or have a simple single slice install. Please provide the following information and we'll give you a step-by-step guide to the process. 1. How have you setup Ubuntu? (lvm, luks, disk and slice details). 2. How much free space do you have on the box? 3. What backup choices do you have? (external hard drives, USB Keys, CD/DVDs, networked box/es, and how much space). 4. Which version of Ubuntu is installed. 5. What are the details of your box? (lspci, mb make and model) > Sounds simple (I hope). Relatively. It can be done safely, which is the most important thing.

FWIW, when I initially installed Wheezy 64-bit on this system, it was Testing Beta heading toward Stable. Took about 3 months. I used apt-get dist-upgrade to "upgrade" it to the most current versions of everything installed. This was recommended by Debian. After it went Stable, I used just upgrade -- for the most part.

In my foggy memory, that at least for debian stable, I seem to remember something about security updates all get collected up, possibly with other updates (??) and they become the next stable point release. A point-release is definitely too slow for security updates! BUT, users complain when their OS slows down their internet connection: "it was really slow last night" "but you've only got dialup, it was probably a security update" "a what? I had to send an important email to my parents, and it was so slow I don't even know if it ever got through! this has to be fixed! Windows didn't do this to me!?!" (Of course, WindowsXP did do this to people, but people don't properly remember the past, being creatures trained very sadly so, in the art of instant gratification and 'the consumer is king'.

In particular, for example, I stopped my initial debian-security (off of aarnet mirror) debmirror run, after about 20 package downloads, since I realised it said ~9GiB to download. Just now I checked one package, with results as follows: Just downloaded: nice /usr/bin/debmirror --diff=mirror --md5sums --rsync-extra=trace,doc,tools --exclude='/Translation-.*\.bz2$' --include='/Translation-(en).*\.bz2$' --include='/Translation-en.*\.bz2$' --verbose --progress --arch=amd64,i386,armhf --section=main,contrib,non-free --dist=wheezy/updates,jessie/updates --host=mirror.aarnet.edu.au --method=ftp --root=pub/debian-security /public/debian/debian-security ...

Such inefficiency shall NOT be tolerated! :) I guess another way to answer my question is: what is the time lapse for packages to "migrate" from debian security repo, to regular debian repos?

mirroring debian-security, sharing package pool with stable/testing/sid pool
I currently know to some degree, and use, debmirror.
I admin/help-desk for quite a few people in a rural area - the PCs I
admin are typically only connected to the Internet via high-latency,
low-bandwidth internet connections.
So, I run a debian mirror from a particular host which has a
high-bandwidth internet connection.
I then sync against this mirror every {random period of time,
sometimes a day, sometimes a week or more} and then use that sync'ed
mirror to update the various other PCs I admin.
Does it make sense, that when I connect my sync'ed USB drive to a
computer I am updating, that an apt-get update would also update from
a local debian-security mirror?
I could create a mirror from, eg, mirror.aarnet.edu.au (I'm in
Australia, and our ISP peers its free zone with aarnet).
I just began this process now, but stopped it when I realized that
there may be overlap between the debian-security package pool, and the
normal debian stable/testing pools.
Thus my question:
Is it possible to use debmirror, to mirror stable,testing,sid as well
as debian-security for stable and testing, and have them all share the
same package pool?
I can't see it, and I'm hoping I am simply not understanding
something. If I would have to go to a more advanced setup with some
other debian tool, I am willing, but that would take some time (namely
finding the time, so would not be immediately).
TIA
Zenaan

If you're gonna pay, choose a registrar that allows you to modify anything about your mydomain.org and supports dynamic DNS.

Within this particular context, I'm not sure that a SOA record is that important, but it's worth noting. You're right about the MX record. By standards, a MX record should always point to an A record and not a CNAME. In practice, I'm not sure it actually has an affect on anything. I'm pretty sure, however, that if pointing the MX to the CNAME doesn't work (or is problematic), you can always point the MX to myhostname.someddns.com (which *is* an A record) and your mail for the domain will still go there. It's been so long since I've had to do this that I can't remember if I did that or just ignored the standard and pointed the MX at the CNAME anyway. :-) But I do know that I had no problems getting mail sent to my domain and Postfix handling it on the local Linux box. > But as long as your needs are simple, that method will work very > nicely.

CNAMEs are immensely helpful, but they do have their limitations, so be careful. You can't, for instance, have a CNAME on mydomain.org and then also have an MX record on mydomain.org - so you'll have trouble receiving mail (unless DDNS lets you set an MX on myhostname.someddns.com, which I'm not sure about).

Among other benefits, you're free to move where your actual DDNS is hosted without anything changing - if you lose myhostname.someddns.com and replace it with myhostname.someotherddns.com, the only change you need to make is to your CNAME - everything that accesses mydomain.org will still work fine.

I installed the whole system so in that manner you are correct but I
did not ask for all those other languages.

I didn't, the only packages installed that mention 'i18n' are:
debconf-i18n 1.5.49
libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-7
and I certainly didn't ask that debconf be international.

Not in this case.
/etc/locale.nopurge containsen en_US.UTF-8
/etc/locale.gen containsen_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
localepurge is triggered by dpkg, has no cron job and makes no mention
of /var/cache/ in it's documentation.
Since you brought it up I ran localepurge from the CL where it
mentions that it looks for /var/cache/localepurge/localelist which I
edited removing all but en_US*.
I ran localepurge again but it still doesn't touch
/var/cache/man/{cs,da,es,fr,...
If you know of a way to tell mandb not to recreate these unnecessary
directories I'd like to know about it.
Thanks,
Mike

Ways to use DDNS with your own domain name (was Re: DynDNS no longer free.)

The domain name is not pretty: > [yourhostname].asuscomm.com, but that doesn't bother me for my usage. > The biggest problem is that if I ever switch to another brand of modem, > I have to suffer another change in service and domain name. There *is* a clever (?) hack, of sorts, that can let you still use your own registered domain with one of these other services that just give you somehostname.them.com for free. I used this trick for years before I signed up with DynDNS to use my domain name to point to my Linux box at home. (I'm on a grandfathered plan with them, so I've got a free domain name DDNS with them for life, but this trick should still work.) The trick depends largely on how much control your registrar gives you with your DNS records. The registrar I use lets me edit all records associated with the domain. Here's the example names: mydomain.org myhostname.someddns.com The first is my domain name, and the second is the name being used by the DDNS service. This should be obvious, but I wanted to be complete. :-) So, you set up myhostname.someddns.com and get your updater program running to keep your IP address information current with them. Now, go to the registrar for your domain name. See if they allow you to modify the DNS record for it (I would think that most of them do, but I have no way to know for sure). Assuming that they do, what you want to do is create a CNAME record for the domain - set a CNAME of mydomain.org that points to myhostname.someddns.com. Presto! Now when you try to access your home machine, you can simply refer to mydomain.org and it will point you to the correct place. You can also set up CNAME records for subdomains (whatever.mydomain.org) to point to your DDNS hostname as well. I never had any problems with SSH, Apache running on my machine, etc., while doing this (regardless of what the DDNS service was calling it, my machine always internally identified itself by my domain name, so names matched up). I'm sorry if this is already well-known. I hadn't seen it mentioned, so I figured I'd bring it up. HTH. --Dave smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I still unsure if I found the right answer, but I think the reason for Pre-Depends is, that one package "debian/preinst" script depends on another package being installed. The preinst script creates a partion and a file system which might be needed to install/unpack further packages on; for the creation, it needs configured contents from the package it pre-depends on. The idea was to have a package that provides this file system and other packages that need it can depend on it. These further packages should be able to unpack directly on this filesystem. In in short, before unpacking further.deb, filesystem.deb has not only to be unpackaged but full installed (configured). What would be the right way to do this? Is this a bug in dpkg?

S-Video on ThinkPad T42 with Debian Jessie - can't get above 800x600
Hi! I've just converted a laptop from Windows XP to Debian Jessie, with the expectation that I'd be able to do everything at least as well as before. That's been mostly true, but I'm stuck on a problem with the S-Video output: whatever I do, the TV shows only 800x600. I can force the S-Video output to a higher resolution thus: rosuav@yosemite:~$ cvt 1024 768 60 # 1024x768 59.92 Hz (CVT 0.79M3) hsync: 47.82 kHz; pclk: 63.50 MHz Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync rosuav@yosemite:~$ xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync rosuav@yosemite:~$ xrandr --addmode S-video 1024x768_60.00 rosuav@yosemite:~$ xrandr --output S-video --mode 1024x768_60.00 but the TV shows only the top-left 800x600 of the desktop (which is happily running in 1024x768 for the internal LCD).

I started reading on Bruce Schneier's site, and bounced off several sites from there. I guess I either read wrong or hit some misinformation. Also, with the extensive list of apps that need to be restarted, unless you have an overriding reason not to, I would recommend that you reboot instead of trying to cherry pick apps to restart. (The "nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." approach. :) ) Debian did a good job of finding most of the apps that depend on openssl, but I know they missed at least one, puppet. --b

Web services, databases, Android apps, etc don't have this issue. However, I'm pretty sure you can write Scala/Clojure WebStart apps that would have the same issues as native Java has here.

let's say there's no use at all in using find
keep_it_simple_as_possible returns that convert (imagemagik tool) has an
outfile option:
convert [input-option] input-file [output-option] output-file

Nice, thanks for sharing! but according the man page
"Only one instance of `{}' is allowed within the command"
The benefit of parallel over xargs or find is that it is much more
flexible with arguments in {}.
For example in the first convert example png files are converted to jpg.
With xargs the result will look like $file.png.jpg
With parallel one can alter arguments in {}, so the end result will be
$file.jpg
Best,
Alex
