There you are. There were no other kernel packages installed in this
case; I tend to keep my machines clear of old junk if I can.
The only package removed, then, was linux-image-amd64, the meta-package
that depends on the current linux-image package.

Fair enough - if you're working on a test machine, that's fine. If it's
a machine you rely on for your day-to-day work, it's a bit different.
Also, I probably should have mentioned that once you've used the new
kernel for a while, then yes you're probably safe to get rid of the old
one, as I had done above (but then also that was a test machine).

You intend to finish? I don't - there's always more to learn. I've been
using Debian for maybe 13 years, and GNU/Linux for longer than that, and
still have plenty to learn about bash scripting and many other things.
Just keep using Debian, experimenting, reading the documentation,
searching the web and asking (polite) questions when needed. Ignore
other people's bad attitudes (but not necessarily what they're saying)
if you can. Remember that how expert or knowledgeable someone is is not
at all related to how polite they are. Do your best to understand what
the answers are saying - they may be wrong, they may be out of date, or
they may be answering a different question to the one you thought you'd
asked (which doesn't necessarily make them useless).

The answer, though, is not strictly what you asked for: it also removes the kernel image metapackages, so your kernel will not get new kernels when you do an apt-get upgrade. Also, I'd recommend keeping the last good kernel as well. So while it's a useful answer, I wouldn't say it's an awesome answer. It is much more useful if you're able to evaluate it and figure out what it really does before you go ahead.

That's odd, considering you've thanked me multiple times for providing
detailed explanations for things.
Regardless, I'm not claiming to have provided "awesome" answers. I'm
saying that the answers you described as "awesome", which you received
elsewhere, are not ones to which I would apply that term.

You've appeared to pay attention to what I had to say in the past...
And yes, I could explain in detail what each component of both of those
commands does - although I wouldn't be sure you'd understand the
explanation, since I don't know what you already know.
There wouldn't be much point to my doing so, however, since the goal is
for *you* to learn. (Not to be taught, but to learn - the difference
being that the latter involves more actual study.)
Reading commands like that is not a good way to learn, unless you
already know a fair amount about the subject.
People have tried to point you to resources which *could* help you
learn, even if you don't already know much about the subject. I don't
intend to speculate on the reasons, but it doesn't seem to have done any
good.

I'm OK, though not necessarily great, at helping someone who wants to
learn. In fact, I often like doing it.
I'm not particularly good at, or particularly interested in, helping
someone who isn't interested in learning - and the overall impression I
get from the total body of your posts to this list so far is that you
are not particularly interested in learning, rather than in just getting
a single answer (and then another, and then another).
(Also, "good pontificator"? While I might be, I'm not sure where I've
been pontificating here lately, or necessarily here at all...)

Most of the scale charts on the Wikipedia entry on IQ classification don't go down that low. The Stanford-Binet 5th-edition scale does, and labels it as "moderately impaired or delayed" (their lowest listed classification); the Levine and Marks 1928 scale also does, and labels it as "moron" (which at least is above the ranges labeled as "imbecile" and "idiot").

My definition of "automatically" is that the kernel will be upgraded
when you upgrade your system with apt. If you don't have the
"linux-image-amd64" metapackage on Debian (or the equivalent for
another architecture) or the "linux-image-generic" metapackage on
Ubuntu, this will not happen.

("apt-get --purge autoremove" englobes all thress commands.)
What makes yuo think that linux-signed-* will be uninstalled if you
run these commands.
Feel free to use Google to find out what the Ubuntu linux-signed-* packages are.
> Can you provide a command for me to try out your assumption?
At hte moment, I only have access to a Debian unstable VM with just
one kernel installed so I can can't run this usefully on Debian but on
my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop:
# dpkg --list 'linux-image-*' | perl -ane 'BEGIN { $r = `uname -r` or
die ; chomp $r } print $F[1], "\n" if $F[0] eq "ii" && $F[1] !~
/\Q$r\E\b/'
linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-27-generic

There's a lot of crap on the net, like the link that you posted previously.

That's odd, considering you've thanked me multiple times for providing
detailed explanations for things.
Regardless, I'm not claiming to have provided "awesome" answers. I'm
saying that the answers you described as "awesome", which you received
elsewhere, are not ones to which I would apply that term.

You've appeared to pay attention to what I had to say in the past...
And yes, I could explain in detail what each component of both of those
commands does - although I wouldn't be sure you'd understand the
explanation, since I don't know what you already know.
There wouldn't be much point to my doing so, however, since the goal is
for *you* to learn. (Not to be taught, but to learn - the difference
being that the latter involves more actual study.)
Reading commands like that is not a good way to learn, unless you
already know a fair amount about the subject.
People have tried to point you to resources which *could* help you
learn, even if you don't already know much about the subject. I don't
intend to speculate on the reasons, but it doesn't seem to have done any
good.

I'm OK, though not necessarily great, at helping someone who wants to
learn. In fact, I often like doing it.
I'm not particularly good at, or particularly interested in, helping
someone who isn't interested in learning - and the overall impression I
get from the total body of your posts to this list so far is that you
are not particularly interested in learning, rather than in just getting
a single answer (and then another, and then another).
(Also, "good pontificator"? While I might be, I'm not sure where I've
been pontificating here lately, or necessarily here at all...)

What do you mean by "kernel will no longer be upgraded automatically"? What's
your definition of "automatically"?
Just today, I upgraded my kernel to the latest offered by Debian.

I don't understand what you meant by "the corresponding linux-signed-* packages
will be installed and won't be purged"? (After I run that command, I type $sudo
apt-get autoremove and $aptitude search '~c' and $sudo aptitude purge '~c' In
my case, I manage to remove about 180MB of unwanted software.)
Can you provide a command for me to try out your assumption?
I have tried the command
dpkg --list 'linux-image-*' \
| perl -ane 'BEGIN { $r = `uname -r` or die; chomp $r } print $F[1], "\n"
if $F[0] eq "ii" && $F[1] !~ /\Q$r\E\b/' \

without problems and it was posted on a very popular forum frequented by Linux

I would not consider those "awesome answers".
They don't explain anything; they may let you get something done, but
they don't help you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it,
or why doing it that way works when doing it a different way wouldn't.
They may be enough for what you went looking for, but the larger goal of
any question should be to *learn* - if only so that you don't need to
ask a similar question later on, for a similar but not identical task -
rather than just to accomplish whatever task is currently at hand.
Answers like that don't help you learn.
(Unless you already know enough about the commands being used that you
can parse out the individual components and figure out what they do...
in which case you might well not have needed to ask the question in the
first place.)

Are they really awesome? What do they do? What were the questions?
The second has some significant pitfalls imho, though that depends on
the question.

This script'll remove linux-image-generic and the kernel will no
longer be upgraded automatically.
And if your box has Secure Boot (even disabled), the corresponding
linux-signed-* packages will be installed and won't be purged.

I totally agree with you.
However that spirit of trying to help people out is quite lacking here, on this
mailing list. I don't wish to call out their names.
AskUbuntu.com is a totally awesome site where volunteers who are experts in
their own fields answer questions without asking ordinatry folks like me to
read "man pages" or "reference guides" even after I have told them I do not
know how to apply the syntax of the options of various commands.
An example of an awesome answer that I got from an awesome expert on that
awesome AskUbuntu.com is the following:
apt-cache search java | awk '{print($1)}' | grep -E -e
'^(ia32-)?(sun|oracle)-java' -e '^openjdk-' -e '^icedtea' -e
'^(default|gcj)-j(re|dk)' -e '^gcj-(.*)-j(re|dk)' -e 'java-common' | xargs sudo
apt-get -y remove
Yet another example of an awesome answer:
dpkg --list 'linux-image-*' \
| perl -ane 'BEGIN { $r = `uname -r` or die; chomp $r } print $F[1], "\n"
if $F[0] eq "ii" && $F[1] !~ /\Q$r\E\b/' \
| xargs -r aptitude purge -y
I bet that no one here is willing to give that kind of awesome answers,
assuming that they know. The so-called experts here will tell me to first read
the official Debian Reference manual, "man pages" and maybe a book on bash
scripting for the uninitiated.

Now that you have posted the URL and we see that it is from 2008 we know that it was for a much older version of the system. A lot of things have changed in that time.

I think the author of that blog post was mostly right. The "service" command was not available then for example and so he couldn't describe it. However there are some important discrepancies that could have been better. The biggest being that it instructs to configure /etc/resolv.conf without saying that is only when assigning a static IP address and not when using DHCP. Another important discrepancy is not describing "ifup" and "ifdown" when describing the /etc/network/interfaces configuration. Because things do change this is one of the reasons I usually try to reference the official documentation. That way it will always be the authoritative reference. Or a project wiki page. Because that documentation is alive and will keep up with the current release. That is why I referenced the Debian Reference.

The default dhcp client on Debian is dhclient which is provided by isc-dhcp-client, previously dhcp3-client. I doubt that dhcp3-client has ever provided dhcpcd, even in 2008. So that debianist notes page is incorrect.

You must be using a different system with the above notes. If you are using /etc/network/interfaces then you really should use "ifup" and "ifdown" for this purpose. Which means instead of the above use: # ifdown eth0 # ifup eth0 > For this, you should install in Debian aptitude install dhcp3-client.

If you use static IP assignment then you must fully configure the system yourself. I like the resolvconf package and then configuring it in /etc/network/interfaces too using "dns-nameservers". If you use DHCP then it will configure /etc/resolv.conf for you automatically. That is rather the entire point of DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in that it will dynamically configure the host. > But it's very simple to tweak it: just edit or create file > /etc/resolv.conf > > # nano /etc/resolv.conf > or > sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf > > And type addresses like this: > > nameserver 192.168.1.1 > nameserver 192.168.2.1 > > as much as it is need.

Such as cleaning the environment so that your personal environment does not affect the process environment. It makes for a nice safety net making things slightly more reliable. Instead of the above use: # service networking restart However that is the old way and only applies with the use of "auto". But so much has moved to the event driven hotplugged system that I recommend you use "allow-hotplug" instead of "auto" as the event driven side of things is much better tested these days.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. What do you think of the following method? (I found it on Google today). Your feedback would be appreciated. * **How to configure network connection in Linux** To do so, you need root privileges and _your_favorite_text_editor, as well as knowledge of which IP address you need to enter. To find out which network interface need to be configured, type: dmesg | grep -i Eth and next strings should appear: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xdf822c00, 00:15:f2:51:ad:da, IRQ 21 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8101' It looks like it is eth0 (because ethernet, 0 - zero device, pretty logical). Here and below it is assumed that interface is eth0 **Configuring Linux network with static IP** Just edit the file: # nano /etc/network/interfaces or sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces For your local network static IPs are surely enough. In particular, for static IP networking you need to enter: IP-address, netmask and gateway. Change /etc/network/interfaces to something like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 In this example, IP-address 192.168.1.5 is set. **Configuring Linux network with dynamic IP addresses** Continue to edit network config: # nano /etc/network/interfaces or sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces It is simpler here: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Similarly, network interface can be configured via command line: #dhcpcd eth0 For this, you should install in Debian aptitude install dhcp3-client. **Configuring DNS nameserver in Linux** If you don't configure DNS, you cannot connect to any Internet resource by it's name. But it's very simple to tweak it: just edit or create file /etc/resolv.conf # nano /etc/resolv.conf or sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf And type addresses like this: nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.2.1 as much as it is need. The word nameserver is required. It is curious, but in fresh Debian installation there is no resolv.conf... For changes to take place immediately... ... one can reboot the system, or type: # /etc/init.d/networking restart or sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart That's all, changes will be applied for all network interfaces. *

OK, given your preference for keeping things to a minimum, you may as well do the following. If the connection is wired and DHCP is available: #0: apt-get install isc-dhcp-client (I'm assuming you have your install CD handy) #1: sudo dhclient eth0 That should be enough to get you an IP, a nameserver and a default route. Try "ping -c1 google.com" or else "ping -c1 8.8.8.8". If the first fails, but the second works, append "namesever 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolv.conf If the connection is wired, and DHCP is not available (i.e. a static IP is provided) #1: ip address add x.x.x.x/yy dev eth0 #2: ip route add default via z.z.z.z dev eth0 #3: echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf Where "x.x.x.x/yy" and "z.z.z.z" are the ip address (x.x.x.x), netmassk (yy bits) and gateway server (z.z.z.z) that your friend provides. If you visit this friend regularly, you might want to look at putting something into /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces has some good examples). If the connection is wireless, I would suggest installing wpasupplicant and then following something like the ArchLinux page on how to use it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Debian skips auto-configuration of network, DHCP and DHCPv6. I install a bare minimum of Debian. During "Selecting software to install", I unselect all the three items offered to me: Desktop Environment, Print Server and Standard System Utilities. About one or two weeks after installation, I take my laptop computer to my friend's home where there is both wired and wireless connection.

Did you mean that at the console, tty1, I type the following command? sudo apt-get install network-manager The installed NetworkManager package will auto-configure my laptop computer for me? By the way I have a thorough look at "man interfaces". It contains heaps of commands and options but no examples for beginners on how to use them. To illustrate what I mean, see the first few paragraphs after I type "man interfaces": [quote] INTERFACES(5) File formats INTERFACES(5) NAME /etc/network/interfaces - network interface configuration for ifup and ifdown DESCRIPTION /etc/network/interfaces contains network interface configuration infor‐ mation for the ifup(8) and ifdown(8) commands. This is where you con‐ figure how your system is connected to the network. Lines starting with `#' are ignored. Note that end-of-line comments are NOT supported, comments must be on a line of their own. A line may be extended across multiple lines by making the last charac‐ ter a backslash. The file consists of zero or more "iface", "mapping", "auto", "allow-" and "source" stanzas. Here is an example. auto lo eth0 allow-hotplug eth1 iface lo inet loopback source interfaces.d/machine-dependent mapping eth0 script /usr/local/sbin/map-scheme map HOME eth0-home map WORK eth0-work iface eth0-home inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up flush-mail iface eth0-work inet dhcp Lines beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option. (This option is used by the system boot scripts.) Physical interface names should follow the word "auto" on the same line. There can be multiple "auto" stanzas. ifup brings the named interfaces up in the order listed. Lines beginning with "allow-" are used to identify interfaces that should be brought up automatically by various subsytems. This may be done using a command such as "ifup --allow=hotplug eth0 eth1", which will only bring up eth0 or eth1 if it is listed in an "allow-hotplug" line. Note that "allow-auto" and "auto" are synonyms. Lines beginning with "source" are used to include stanzas from other files, so configuration can be split into many files. The word "source" is followed by the path of file to be sourced. Shell wildcards can be used. (See wordexp(3) for details.) Stanzas beginning with the word "mapping" are used to determine how a logical interface name is chosen for a physical interface that is to be brought up. The first line of a mapping stanza consists of the word "mapping" followed by a pattern in shell glob syntax. Each mapping stanza must contain a script definition. The named script is run with the physical interface name as its argument and with the contents of all following "map" lines (without the leading "map") in the stanza provided to it on its standard input. The script must print a string on its standard output before exiting. See /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/exam‐ ples for examples of what the script must print. Mapping a name consists of searching the remaining mapping patterns and running the script corresponding to the first match; the script outputs the name to which the original is mapped. ifup is normally given a physical interface name as its first non-option argument. ifup also uses this name as the initial logical name for the interface unless it is accompanied by a suffix of the form =LOGICAL, in which case ifup chooses LOGICAL as the initial logi‐ cal name for the interface. It then maps this name, possibly more than once according to successive mapping specifications, until no further mappings are possible. If the resulting name is the name of some defined logical interface then ifup attempts to bring up the physical interface as th

Both of us are cabable of reading https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager#Wired_Networks_are_Unmanaged As of Debian 6.0 "Squeeze", NetworkManager does not manage any interface defined in /etc/network/interfaces by default.
