LUKS partition?
Hi there. This may or may not be the best place to ask this, but I can't seem to find help anywhere else, so I thought I would ask. I have begun backing up my /home to a LUKS encrypted external hard drive using rsync. I just got a second one external hard drive to do the same thing with, however I have come across something that I am not sure how to do. When creating my LUKS partition, two guides I followed told me to directly mkfs to the /dev/mapper/LUKS, whereas another told me to create a partition on it. I did not create a partition on it. What are the pros and cons to creating a partition on the decrypted drive? I would like to know which to do before proceeding with backing up my /home.

Re: Updating Packages in Debian Squeeze from Backports/Testing
On 06/14/2011 11:37 AM, Noah Duffy wrote: I've been running Debian Squeeze for a little while now. I was using Ubuntu before, so I'm really used to being able to keep certain software up-to-date using their PPA system. I'm loving Debian (even though I've had to make a few tweaks for it to work with my new system), but there are a few packages I wish were newer. Banshee is one of them. There have been a load of changes since the 1.6.1 version that is in Squeeze. I can compile the new version myself, but have been unable to get webkit support enabled when compiling, so it is nicer to use a build from the repositories. I've done plenty of reading on how to enable the backports and also install software from testing/unstable. However, I wanted to get the opinion of others before I change my system for good! Is it recommended to install packages from testing? I know this often also updates dependencies that other software may use causing the system to potentially not be as secure or stable. Should I just wait for newer versions to maybe hit the backports repository? Or should I just take the longer route and compile newer versions myself (which sometimes doesn't always work well)? Also, if I do add the testing repositories and setup apt pinning and/or priority, what happens in another year or so when I try to upgrade my system to the next stable release? is everything going to work because of the pinning and priority I originally setup? I'm sorry for so many question in one mailing! And I hope I'm not rambling too much! My ultimate goal is to run Debian Stable but have a few packages and maybe the kernel (many bug fixes for my system are in the newer kernels) from backports/testing. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Noah Duffy If it is really important to you to have more up-to-date packages, you could upgrade to Debian Testing.

Re: Building Chromium from source on Debian 6.0.1 Stable
On 05/27/2011 04:15 AM, Mark Grieveson wrote: Following my previous question, someone recommended I build Chromium from source. Is that possible to do on Stable? I tried to do it from apt-get, but there were still dependency issues. Am I doing it wrong? Should I be doing it another way? If I remember correctly, I tried... sudo apt-get source chromium-browser sudo apt-get build-dep chromium-browser And before I could compile it using apt-get, it gave me a bunch of dependency issues. If you need me to I can reproduce this to show you all. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I assume you wish to get the latest one, and are thus trying to port from the unstable source to your stable system. There are two ways that the Debian manual describes. One is the older obsolete way, and the other is the newer way. Both work. I'm more used to the older way, but I'll describe both. First, make sure you have the source repository listed and updated in your sources.list: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free The older way: # apt-get build-dep chromium-browser $ apt-get -b source chromium-browser note: if the above step doesn't build the debian files, and lists other dependencies (IE, some_package version is required, but you only have a lower version available) then you may be able to remedy it by obtaining and building that package by source with the above listed procedure. If so, it means that you would not have built the package yet, but you should have downloaded the source files. Once you've obtained, built, and installed all the dependencies, then you can create the package with the following: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b So, you should have the chromium-browser packages (debs). You can install them with: # dpkg -i file.deb the name of the various debs that will be created are listed at http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/chromium-browser The newer method is as follows: Install required packages for the compilation and download the source package as the following. # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade # apt-get install fakeroot devscripts build-essential # apt-get build-dep foo $ apt-get source foo $ cd foo* Adjust installed packages if needed. Execute the following. $ dch -i Bump package version, e.g. one appended with +bp1 in debian/changelog Build packages and install them to the system as the following. $ debuild $ cd .. # debi foo*.changes Note: foo is a generic name for the package -- in your case it's chromium-browser I wouldn't worry about the dch -i step (it's just a step to renumber the file, or something. You don't need to be root to create the debian files, but you do for installing them (which is why some commands are preceded with $ and others with #, to indicate if it's regular or root user). As with the first method, if there are dependencies that require getting other source packages, then just do the same steps for those packages, and then try again to build chromium-browser. Mark Is it ok that there are all of these dependencies being changed? And more importantly, is it a problem that some of the packages are being removed? This is what I have done. rypervenche@debian:~$ sudo apt-get -t sid build-dep chromium-browser Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Logitech Headset not working

programs such as Skype and Audacity).
Any ideas on how I can get it work? I am also able to get it work by
putting some simple code into .asoundrc, however I can only listen to
one stream at a time, unlike with my internal speakers. The code I use
is this...
pcm.!default {
type hw

}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 2
}
Still, it is not practical. Any other ideas? I would have hoped it would
work automatically as it does on Ubuntu :/

This is the norm apparently. I checked it on all other computers and friends' computers. So apparently the locale is there, but I just don't want the ANSI choice there anymore. How about your /etc/default/locale and ~/.dmrc files? Also, check if another user is affected by this. As a last resort, you can make a full search for that locale's name over all of the system files (just in case): grep -H ANSI_X3 /* Greetings, I tried it using a different user, same result. rypervenche@debian:~$ cat /etc/default/locale # File generated by update-locale #LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rypervenche@debian:~$ cat .dmrc [Desktop] Language=en_US.utf8 Layout=us Session=default I have searched for the ANSI name in /etc and a few other folders, such as /var and /usr, but doing the entire system was taking too long and I was unable to do a complete search. I will try it again when I have a large amount of time that I can set to the task. Any other ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Remove unused language from GDM?
Hi there. I use en-US and zh-TW (Chinese Taiwan) as locales on my computer, and recently tried to do something with my fonts and replaced my fonts.dtd file with another and tried logging in. The result was the locale or fonts were incorrect and I was given Unspecified [ANSI-X3.4-1968] as a choice in my languages bar. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/xephyr.jpg I replaced my fonts.dtd with the original file, however this option in my language choice has not gone away. I would like to know how I can refresh this list of languages or, if I must, manually delete the old locale choice. I have looked all over the place and haven't found anything relevant, aside from this... http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c211/Rypervenche/GNULinux/CE.jpg I'd appreciate any and all help on this subject. Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
