Opening Intellicast Causes Firefox to close
I am running Firefox ESR 52.4.0 (64 bit) on my uptodate Stechch platformwhen I attempt opening Intellicast, either with Speeddial or tying the URL Firefox crashes.

Re: XFCE Panel to the bottom

I've added the Whisker menu onto the top panel menu. Now I'd like to move the top panel from it's default position on the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen, but I can't figure out how. I've "unlocked" the panel in Panel Preferences. When I right-click and select "move", I get a "fist" icon and a small blue horizontal bar. Google search tells me that I should see 2 dots at the end of the panel that I must "grab", but I don't. When I move the blue bar to the bottom, it moves back to the top. So, how do I move the panel to the bottom? You are singlehandedly responsible for my own first "kernel panic" of the day. I tried playing along to see if I could help find a fix. Instead I initially... 100% totally lost a visual on that CRUCIAL toolbar panel. *smacking (my) head!* After that first panic, I recouped and hit "ALT+F1" which brings up access to Settings > Panel. By running down the list of 2 panels, my top one reappeared. It's now located about a third of the way down the screen. And there it very stubbornly sits while refusing to budge. Trial and error has shown me that the "blue bar" is *possibly* a "Separator" (spacer) reference, i.e. NOT the whole panel being moved. Right clicking and hitting "Properties" was my clue there. It keeps snapping back because it (obviously) wants to stay on the panel to which it is assigned. So if you... ok, if WE... can find some toolbar real estate that is NOT that spacer placeholder [thingie], WE might be able to grab and move that entire panel toolbar where WE both wish to see it in each, our own, unique window setups.. Just thinking out loud again.... *from ye ol' Pickens, grin* :) Cindy :) It's really simple: 1. Unlock the panel 2. grab the panel at either edge and move it. -- Stephen P.

The strings you see above in the example are the /dev/disk/by-id files (or part thereof) and those filenames (or parts thereof) can frequently be found written on the outside of the disk's casing (and sometimes on the box) as Model/Serial/Part Number or whatever. When I managed to persuade the Computing Service to issue me with several disks at the same time (very infrequently), I would make sure I created partitions with slightly different (usually by one cylinder, a historical concept!) absolute and relative sizes so that I could distinguish them in circumstances where size was the only parameter visible.

In my experience, problems like this are nearly always problems in software selection of output and/or mixer volumes. The card that you are selecting there is an HDMI audio controller, which means that it is a sound card which only outputs through the HDMI connection going to a TV or video monitor. Is that what you are expecting? If, as is more usual, you are expecting to output through 1/8" stereo jacks to self-powered speakers or 1/8" line-level stereo to an amplifier, you need to select that sound card and use it. aplay -L should give you a list of possible outputs, one of which you can then feed to speaker-test via -D to test.

Debian Wheezy Repository Problem
I am running Wheezy v-7.10. When I went to update this morning I received a rather unusual message: Release file for http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/dists/jessie-updates/InRelease is expired (invalid since 14h 17min 59s). Updates for this repository will not be applied. The recalcitrant files were the source codes. Once I #'d those out of sources.list the problem went away. I tried a few things and got the same result each time. First I changed the repository from the University of Chicago to Debian.org. Next I tried the same thing on another computer.

Debian Testing: Upgrade XFCE from v-4.10 to v-4.12
Has anyone upgraded XFCE v-4.10 to v-4.12 in Debian Testing without having to compile the tarballs? I am currently running RC3 in a VM and willing to experiment if there might be some guidance available. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

VMWre Player Full Screen Question
I hope that someone on this list may have a solution. I have looked at the VMWare Player pages on the web and have concluded that it's a real mess. I am running Debian Testing (v-8 daily build) in VMWare player v-7.0.0-2305329 with the accompanying Tools on my 64 bit N+MS win 7 Professional as a test bed prior to making the decision to update my main Linux computer. On to the question! When I open VMWare Player in Win 7 the window is not full screen. Now I selected the option to "Enter full screen mode after powering on". This is what happens, but Debian is booting and opening to a user (or as root) in a smaller window. In order to get Debian full screen it is necessary to toggle between "Exit full screen mode' and "enter full screen mode" - usually several times. This is rather annoying. Is there a solution? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Try the Debian LiveCD and see if the sound works properly If it does, then your problem is probably software or configuration.

I moved the two HD's to the new platform. I'm using ALSA. How do I go about checking the sound driver? I'll try the live cd and see what happens, thanks for the suggestion. -- Stephen P.

You're mistaken, I won't take the time and search my mails, but you can do it on your own, somewhere in the ubuntu studio or 64 studio or linux audio users or linux audio developers archives or any other linux audio archive we talked about the ASUS mobo I own and about any mobo of any vendor in general. May I ask you how often you repair mobos or any other electronically gear? There's nothing wrong when you say that your experiences with ASUS mobos are good, but there's also nothing wrong when I talk about my knowledge regarding to mobos. You are the troll, since you didn't post one evidence that ASUS boards are generally good boards. I bought and will buy ASUS boards because I don't have much money and ASUS boards are elCheapo mobos and for audio production machines it's less expensive to buy ten mobos and to test them than to buy one expensive mobo from a company how gives a vague warranty about "no issues for audio production". You are trolling because you seemingly don't have experiences with repairing electronically gear during the last 20 years, so you aren't aware that vendors have a tendency to make gear less durable and you seemingly don't use the computer for tasks, such as real-time audio, real-time CNC etc.. IOW on what basis do you define that ASUS mobos are always good? You simply had good luck with ASUS mobos and perhaps bad luck with mobos from other companies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problem with OracleVM VirtualBox and Debian Testing
I have installed OracleVM VirtualBox v4.3.6 r91406 on my Laptop to use as a test bed for Debian Linux runs very nicely in the VM. (VirtualBox seems to work better than VMware Player.) Debian v-7.3.0 runs without any problems. However, I have repeatedly encountered what I consider to be a rather strange problem with Debian Testing. Installation of Testing in a VirtualBox proceeds without any problems, but every time that I install a new application VirtuaBox crashes when I attempt execution. I would appreciate any insights as to what may be causing this. As I said, 7.3.0 gives me no problems whatsoever. Thanks in advance. Stephen P.

I was thinking of the fencepost error, off-by-one error. What we use to write a program, is not what we should provide as output for the GUI. To use math we need to be careful to keep it logically. Similar as chemical science versus physics regarding to the Bohr Diagram, working to know how a chemical bond does work regarding to valence electrons, but for physics we (hopefully) learned other theories than the Bohr Diagram for good reasons. I even failed in orthography in my native language, IOW German lessons, but not that much in general science. "They" tested me and called it dyslexia. Perhaps we could stop talking about panel number zero vs panel number one. Xfce does work, it doesn't matter if the panel is called "0" or "1", it just could become confusing for more complicated issues, if coders use "programming language style" for the output of a GUI. :p -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Subject: Installing Debian inside Windows 7 utilizing VirtualBox
Hi Members,
I would like to run Debian and test new software packages utilizing Debian
as a virtual environment. inside my Windows 7 OS. I would like to be able to
install Debian in this fashion and have the ability to utilize a Debian GUI
desktop as well.
Question #1 please:
Would kindly like to know if Oracle's VM VirtualBox is the recommended
"virtualization software package" to install to accomplish this procedure.
Question #2 please:
Which "Stable" version of Debian ("Squeeze" or "Wheezy") is recommended that
would best serve this purpose?
I have been reading about VirtualBox and studying the steps involved to
install Debian in this manner. I'm sure I will have additional questions but
would simply like to start with my initial questions above.
A couple of how-to links I've discovered:
Installing with a GUI desktop:
https://jtreminio.com/2012/07/setting-up-a-debian-vm-step-by-step/
Installing without a GUI desktop
http://williamjturkel.net/2013/05/31/installing-debian-linux-in-a-vm/
Thank you
I am running Wheezy and Jessie/sid, in different MS Windows 7 directories of
course, in the current version of VMware Player without any problems
whatsoever.
I have also evaluated the Oracle VM, but prefer the VMware player as I have
not run into any problems with installing Debian.
Download the iso and follow the installer prompts.

Sound Volume
I am running the 64 bit Debian Testing Jessie/sid in VMware Player v-6.0.2 build-179776. The sound is very faint in both Firefox v-25 and Chromium v-30.0.1599.101. Yet there is plenty of volume when I play a sound clip in Audacious. I am using the Audio Mixer Plugin on the Desktop, which is also working normally. I would appreciate some pointers to a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Thanks for you reply and suggestion. Unfortunately, diffuse show
no differences between the two /etc/init.d/vmware-tools files.
Incidentally, your English is far better that my (non-existent) Spanish.

Unfortunately, this was not the case with Debian Testing. the tools

/usr/bin/ware/vmware.config.tools.pl there were errors:

The lines in question are:

and
1187local run_kver=`get_version_integer`
Can you provide the vmware.config.tools.pl from your system?
Can you `type get_version_integer`? if it's referenced in that script, can
you provide it also? Sounds like an unescaped quote in one of these scripts,
might have to identify the maintainer and bugreport upstream.
Also, didn't you post this recently, with a longer log? Is this the same
issue?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did post this earlier, but, in my haste,
I missed some messages from the installer.

Problem Installing VMWare Tools in Debian Testing/Jessie
I have installed both Debian 64 bit 7.1.0 and Debian 64 bit Testing in separate VMWare Player v-5.0.2 on my 64 bit laptop to serve as test beds before messing with my Debian production computer. I successfully installed VMWare Tools 9.2.3 build-1031360 on 7.1.0. However when I attempted the installation of the Tools on the Debian Testing installation the installation failed. I managed to correct the earlier problems, apparently lack of required libraries, but the installation still failed. I have attached the log file to this message in the hope that someone can point me towards a solution. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies and sorry for the confusion. I have narrowed the
problem down to xfe. One of the xfe dependencies is libfox which seems
to be causing the problem.
I normally use Konsole, but the problem is there with any of the
consoles that I've checked.
Also, I get a .bash error when the when I close the X File Viewer. I've
looked at .bashrc and don't see anything that seems unusual. I've
attached the file and would appreciate more sets of eyes.
I solved the problem by removing xfe from the system, but that's a
rather draconian. I would like to continue to use xfe, but need a
solution to the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with Konsole
64 bit Debian Testing/XFCE. When I open a console an untitled X File Window opens. This just started today and I don't have a clue as to what is going on. It is rather annoying because I don't get a prompt in the console until I close this unwanted app. Does anyone have an idea as to what is going on here and how I can fix the problem?

While other people joined Facebook, Twitter etc., I joined d-community-offtopic. It's not obscure. FWIW Chris and some others are subscribed too. I don't want denunciation and conspiracy theories, because I disagree myself with many upstream folks. I experienced myself that they discredited me. Why should we behave in the same or more bad way as they do? To discredit and to denunciate is wrong. Conspiracy theories are idiotic. We've got some real tasks to solve, so lets start doing it and not care about a hand full of people. Again, we could talk about dbus, Firefox and Co. and than united talk to upstream. This is how civilized beings act, not by acting as the [snip] :D If I would name it, would it be a Godwin's law case? Really? To discredit people and to denunciate people with photos and obscure claims was exactly what the [snip] did. The OP has got an obscure email address. There's no evidence for that claim. So that claim belongs to /dev/null. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Actually, I had run the tests that I reported as root as well as sudo and got the same response = no sound. However, I started to rerun the tests, as per your suggestion, and miraculously, sound started working! Now, from a scientific viewpoint, I believe in serendipity, but not in miracles. However, I willing to accept the fact that the speaker in now generating intelligible sound. Ping works, as does the sound in a browser. Pink noise generated in speaker-test is a roaring hiss, not the sound that I get when I access pink noise in youtube. I can accept that because I subscribe to the adage that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', and the lesser spoken corollary 'If it ain't broke, fix it it it will be'. There is a problem with Skype. The speaker works, but the microphone doesn't. I do have a clue. Before the HD crash and subsequent installation of the OS on the new HD the microphone setting (that worked allowing a video call) was: USB Device 0x46d:0x807, USB Audio (hw:2,0) Now, in the reinstalled Skype version, that worked before, on the new OS. there are a number of audio settings, the one most similar to the one that worked is: USB Device 0x46d:0x807, USB Audio (hw:1,0) note the only difference. The question becomes, how do I change (hw:1,0) to (hw:2.0? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

Debian Wheezy Grub Problem
My main Linux computer (64bit CPU) is about six or seven years old now and has had a number of distributions running. As I haven't had any luck with upgrades, I've always done a complete installation. Currently the Grub boot menu has a number of choices: openSUSE Advanced options for openSUSE openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Advanced options for openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5) Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5) Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.4) Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.4) There are a number of things that I find puzzling. First of all, the most recent installation is Debian Wheezy/Testing (7.0), and, in fact, WebMin tells me that the installed Operating system is Debian Linux 7.0. In order to boot into what is now my default Linux, installed on /dev/hda I have to select the seventh option of the menu which is mislabeled as 6.0.4. I had successfully installed some of the distributions on other than /dev/hda, but the last several installation have been on the Primary Master HD. The computer boots well with the seventh entry in the menu, which is not the default. This is rather annoying. I have become thoroughly confused by the information I've found about grub2. I am not a hardware person and am rather loathe to make any changes to the boot loader, given my current high degree of mental entropy. I thought about switching to lilo and, in fact, tried that out successfully on a laptop running Wheeezy in a VM. When I tried that on the tower /sbin/lilo complained that it couldn't open /etc/lilo.conf, even though I used sudo. Fortunately, my act of desperation didn't render grub inoperable. I would appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Are you running Wheezy _inside_ VirtualBox with Windows 7 as the host OS, or is this a dual-boot system? If the latter, wheezy should easily detect 8 GB and use them. In case of the former, you probably only allocated 4.7 GB to Wheezy in the VirtualBox configuration, hence the ‘computer’ Wheezy runs on only has 4.7 GB.

64 bit Wheezy RAM Limitation
Let me start with a disclaimer - I am not a hardware person! I am using Oracle VirtualBox (v 4.2.6 r82870) as a testbed for Wheezy Testing before upgrading my production linux computer. The software is installed on my 64 bit Dell Inspiron laptop with 8 GB of RAM running MS Win 7 Professional as the primary OS. With a couple of exceptions that I attribute to a less than complete understanding of the VirtualBox environment, Wheezy is performing well. It was with a fair amount of surprise that I discovered, entirely by chance, that according to KInfoCenter that the system is using only 4.47 GB of total physical memory!!! Googling 'Debian Wheezy 64 bit memory limitation' only turn up references to Squeezy and the Debian Handbook doesn't seem to address the issue. I would greatly appreciate being pointed to any sources of information about this issue. Thanks in advance.
Problem Mounting USB Stick in Debian Wheezy
