THe root issue  that needs fixing is this one
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=853485

Which has apparently been fixed in a package upload to experimental. So
Kodi should be unblocked once the maintainer makes a normal upload to
unstable.



Great. I will wait.

Thanks for info.


Well, since then nearly one year has passed.

KODI is still not available for Buster

Oh no..

Not considered???

What that means (as I understand matters) is "Because this other reason
means this package couldn't make it in anyway, the automatic tools did
not consider whether or not to include it".

The other reason is cited on that page: one of the build dependencies of
kodi, in this case apparently libcec (libcec4 / libcec-dev), has a
problem which is keeping it out.

Presumably, once that other package gets fixed, it will make it in, and
kodi will also get back in at that point.

Package upgrades why and how to avoid?

[Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

Couple days ago I was trying to general package update by simply "Mark
All Upgrades" and "Apply" from the Synaptic package manager as I usually do.

I noticed the audacious was up-gradable so I simply marked all upgrades
and tried to install. However I also noticed by doing this it will
remove other packages such as Skype, and others.

Why this happens and how to avoid this?


I guess just simply choosing upgrading all packages is not good idea.

Thanks

Viber 6

[Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

Once again, problem with the Viber.

Debian Jessie, 64 bit. LXDE desktop

Viber version 6 downloaded from their site.

http://www.viber.com/en/products/linux

Just like version 4, I did install the package as shown in this site:

http://tutorialforlinux.com/2015/06/09/how-to-install-viber-on-debian-64bit-gnu-linux/

Version 4 was working perfectly. Recently I got notification to update
to latest version for security reason. The installation went smooth,
created menu under internet, but the application won't start. Same thing
if I do from the terminal.

Has anyone tried this on Jessie without problem? Am I missing something
or what?

Thanks if someone get me some clue.

M.W.C.

I would be more concerned Lenovo for other reasons; helping customers

was in the Windows world, I would be wary of supporting Lenovo ever

Firefox won't open the link from e-mail

[Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

Debian Jessie, 64 bit here.

I have been using Thunderbird (installed in /usr/local/) and working 
perfectly fine with Iceweasel.
Recently I tried to use google hangout and video chatting feature do not 
work with current stable Iceweasel, so I installed Firefox separately 
(in /usr/local/). I set firefox as default internet browser but the 
problem is that when I click the link in the e-mail firefox opens new 
window but it doesn't open the link.


Any way to fix this?


Thanks.

Which open source driver is better Nouveau or AMD open source driver?
It ALL depends on your needs. If you want gaming, or 
multi-card/monitor support, with all the goodies turned on, you'll 
want the real drivers. If you are just doing email, web browsing, Hunt

fine, unless you get flickering and tearing.

Given that Micrishite took o0ver skype, to sabotage it, and, then,
went out of its way to sabotage skype, have you indicated whether your
microphone works with any other application on Debian?

If your microphone does work with other applications on Debian, then
iot may be that it is just part of the Microshite sabotage, that your
microphone does not work with skype.

If your microphone does not work with other applications on Debian,
then that may be where the problem lies; an incompatible microphone.

Before Microshite sabotaged skype, with using (successfully, before
the sabotage) skype 2.2, running on Debian 6, I was successfully using
a headset that included a microphone, which headset does not use USB,
but instead, I think, RCA sockets and plugs (one for the microphone,
and one for the sound out).



I am using Skype 4.3 on Wheezy 64 bit without problem now.

I had exact same problem as yours with microphone audio before.
What I did was to reset the microphone while Skype was testing the audio.

During the audio test, disable the microphone and re-enable it.

I found this method in Ubuntu forum and it worked.

Jessie unstable is just not Debian stable yet. It's stable enough for

It can be argued that if you are using backports then by definition you

Ok, enough.

Skype also use Pulse audio and from ver. 4.3, skype only works with

Re: Skype - no microphone input sound...REVISITED

Ok, I had almost given up on this but now little update.

As i could not make skype's microphone working on debian wheezy 64 bit, 
I have been using linux mint 17 for skype (4.2, everything works fine 
there).


I was just trying to use skype (Now ver. 4.3) on debian once again but 
this time from my wife's debian user account.

Surprisingly, microphone works just fine from her account
i checked skype setting, pulse audio setting, looks everything is 
identical to my own account...


I just don't have no clue whatsoever what is the cause of this problem...

Any thoughts, anyone?

I missed the start of this thread, but I have Skype working just fine on
Debian Wheezy 64 bit. I am using ALSA, not pulseaudio or anything, and I
have Skype installed inside a 32-bit chroot (using schroot) so I don't
know if for your purposes that counts or not.

Guys,

After thinking re-install GRUB,
I just re-install GRUB from the synaptic manager.
It worked as expected.
Great.

Thank you for your help.

  Hi all,

  Once again I need your help.

  I have debian wheezy installed on my primary HDD sda1, and I
  just installed Mint 17 on separate HDD sdb2.
  Now the GRUB of the MINT 17 took over the grub of Debian,
  but I don't like look of ths new grub installed by Mint.

  Is there anyway to revive the debian's GRUB or edit the menu
  of Mint's GRUB?

  Thanks for your help.

  Man without clue



Boot into wheezy on sda1 and run update-grub.  That has sorted things for me in 
the past.



   That will update the Grub menu...but it will still be displayed by
the Grub installed on sdb2.
What you want I think is to run install-grub as root from your Debian
partition... ie as root "install-grub /dev/sda1"

I stumbled on that a few weeks ago while flailing about trying to solve
some other problem (flailing about is my standard troubleshooting
technique). Works like a charm. The command, not flailing about.



ok, thanks guys

I understand I should re-install GRUB from Debian side.

Now, how do I do that?

"install-grub" command doesn't work.

How do I install grub?

lprm should do the trick.







If you have more than one printer, you'll have to name it in the command:
lprm HP-LaserJet-2200
or whatever your printer that you want to clear  is called.

I use Viber on Arch and Ubuntu. I've never used it on pure Debian, but 
it does work very well on Ubuntu 12.04


Thing is that if I install on debian, Viber just won't start.

I have been wondering if there is anyway to make it work on Debian.

Hi all,

This too, I don't get any response from forums there and everywhere, so 
I throw it out here.


I have USB connected Elecom M-FW1ULWH mouse to my debian wheezy amd 64.

I guess debian fails to recognize this as regular wheel mouse. I wonder

Re: Internet loads too slow

Ok,

Here are what I have done though I really have lost track of things I've 
done as I just follow what I could find...




   Comment them with a '#' sign:

   Code: Select all
   #udp6 tpi_clts v inet6 udp - -



I did this.

   echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf

   sed '/::/s/^/#/' /etc/hosts >/etc/dipv6-tmp;cp -a /etc/hosts
   /etc/hosts-backup && mv /etc/dipv6-tmp /etc/hosts

   sed '/ipv6=yes/s/yes/no/' /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
>/etc/avahi/dipv6-tmp;cp -a /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
   /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf-backup && mv /etc/avahi/dipv6-tmp
   /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf



and I did this.

   #netstat -tunlp |grep p6 |wc -l


This returns 0.



Now,  I did following as you suggested,

What part of the internet loads slow?  e.g. DNS results, browser page,

Check the DNS by pinging a domain name then it's IP address and posting
