A clue, maybe?

If I reboot the system, I can run dpkg --configuere -a and work around the 
problem , as far as using Synaptic is concerned.

If I try to install libcuda1 with Synaptic, the process throws an error:

'E: Internal Error. No file name for libcuda1:ams64'

Synaptic search found libcuda1.

What "CD Image?"  It's exact name.

You could have just failed to tell the installer program to install the
graphical interface. Or the installer had trouble configuring your
graphic card.  I've had this happen a lot in the past, particularly
with old hardware.  But we'lll get to that later, if it applies.  A
quick test:  login as root; type startx at the prompt.  Did the GUI
come up? Or did you get a black screen with or without a working cursor?
If not, what was output to the terminal?

it seems that you installed a minimal version of debian without graphical
environment. If you have a working internet connection it should be easy
to install the gui, though. You might try to login as root into your
terminal and then run the command

apt-get install xfce4

This should hopefully install a graphical environment with the xfce4
Desktop. If you don't like xfce you can easily install other
gui environments later and pick the one that fits your needs best.

Michael

Testing Dist MIPS Install Problem

[Mike]

Hello all,

I'm playing around with using QEMU to configure different install
environments. At present, I am able to successfully install and run a
Debian MIPS install using the latest table release:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/

However, when I attempt to do the same process with the testing branch,
upon start-up of the installer I immediately get a kernel panic:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/

[1.903631] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x0004
[1.903631]
[1.905232] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x0004

Anyone know why this would be? It works just fine in stable but panics in
testing.

Best,

Mike

A typical GRUB boot loader comes in 2 or 3 parts :
1) A "boot image" installed in the boot sector of a disk (MBR) or a
partition (PBR). Not used for EFI boot.
2) A "core image" installed either in a special place outside a
filesystem (gap between the MBR and 1st partition in a MSDOS format
disk, BIOS boot partition in a GPT format disk) or as a regular file in
a filesystem, /boot/grub/core.img or /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img for PC
BIOS, or /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi for UEFI.
3) Various files in /boot/grub/, including the config file grub.cfg and
modules.

The BIOS firmware loads the boot image which loads the core image, or
the EFI firmware loads directly the core image. Then the core image
reads files in /boot/grub to display the boot menu, then reads files in
/boot/grub and other locations to boot the selected entry.

The boot image uses block lists to load the core image, so it does not
have to understand partition tables, filesystems or whatever. But the
core image read files, so it has to understand the filesystem, partition
table, RAID array or LVM volume these files reside in. GRUB modules are
just like Linux kernel modules : they provide loadable capabilities to
the core image (~ GRUB kernel) to read filesystems such as ext2/3/4,
btrfs, NTFS, FAT, containers such as LVM or RAID, partition tables such
as GPT or MSDOS and so on. The purpose of this modular design is to keep
the core image small, otherwise it may not fit into the post-MBR gap
(previously 31 KiB, now 1 MiB). But modules are files, and the core
image must be able to load them before it can use their capabilities. So
the required modules to read files in /boot/grub must be embedded into
the core image. grub-install is supposed to auto-detect all needed
modules and include them when building the core image. However, it seems
that in your case it didn't. Maybe it was confused by the presence of
both MSDOS and GPT partition tables. The --modules option instructed
grub-install to include the module providing the missing capability to
read GPT partition tables.

But GRUB does. "No such device" seems to indicate that GRUB did not find
the disk, partition or RAID array specified in the $prefix variable,
where the files in /boot/grub/ are supposed to be located. Also, ls
showing only the whole disk (hd0) without any partition seems to
indicate that it could not read the partition table. GRUB has specific
modules to read each partition table format, and such module(s) need to
be embedded into the core image by grub-install in order to be able to
read the partition table of the disk(s) containing /boot/grub. Same with
RAID modules.

GRUB does not need an initramfs to start RAID arrays. The Linux kernel
does. GRUB just loads the initramfs in memory for the Linux kernel.

command "grub-install --modules=part_gpt /dev/sdc" resolved the issue for

Mdadm grub install problem

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

I am trying to replacing 1 TB drives with 2TB i am using RAID 1 mdadm
i successfully replaced the first drive and it is synced and working
normally.
i also installed grub by this commad "grub-install /dev/sdc"
/dev/sdc is my new drive.
Please note that  i am using gdisk to create GPT partition on new 2TB drive.
i copied the same partition table from MBR to GPT with gdisk utility.
however when i try to boot my system only with /dev/sdc
it end up saying

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: no such device: 2
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>


when i connect the first drive i mean 1TB drive with array of 2TB it works
fine
when i boot single 1TB it works fine. however when i boot with 2TB alone it
shows the above error. i am very new to this i request you guys to please
help.
moreover when i use command "ls"

it shows me (hda0)

Thanks,
MYK

Did you add the new drive to the array?

mdadm doesn't care about partition tables. It just wants to be able to 
find the arrays. However to start the array, grub needs the initramfs.


If the drive letters change, you may need to update-initramfs -u before 
update-grub.

You don't have to use GPT on a 2 TB disk.

I don't think so. GRUB names disks hd0, hd2... , not hda0.
"ls" should show the disks and their partitions.
Maybe the core image is missing the part_gpt module. You can try to
reinstall it with

grub-install --modules=part_gpt /dev/sdc

Re: debian-installer grub install problem

FAI apepars to have no problem with such things - perhaps the code for
FAI (mostly just scripts) can be used as inspiration?

 Is there a way to manipulate udev rules so that I can force my boot
 drive to always enumerate as sda, or is there a way to get
 grub-install to work with more than the first 16 devices (that is
 where I found it to stop working /dev/sdp).

Alternatively, if all of your systems have identical(ish) hardware,
you may be able to use /dev/disk/by-path/X instead?

 Any suggestions, besides the painfully obvious (and nearly
 impossible) removal of the extra 45 drives in each of the systems?

Personally, I find it much easier to install using FAI than basic
pre-seeding - FAI is much more customizable, and allows you to set up
the resulting system exactly as you want (e.g. including kicking off
puppet, cfgengine and similar), without needing any manual
intervention.

Hope this helps

New Install Problem

I am on windows at the moment however, after installing Ubuntu 14.04 the
screen locks up after several operations and on different sites. The only
way I can resolve is to use the Alt + Prt Scr Sysrq while typing REISUB.

 Good idea, but perhaps the OP needs to run
 
 dpkg -i --force-depends PACKAGE

Not a good idea to recommend this! I've never needed to do this, and
would be reluctant to do so.

If the .deb is one that the OP picked up from off the net somewhere,
then do you still think that 'dpkg -i --force-depends PACKAGE' needs to
be run. Forcing something should be the last thing considered, and even
then *only* if you are competent and know what it will do and why you
are doing it.

The error messages (which the OP didn't include) from the output of the
dpkg -i PACKAGENAME would help here.

Package Install Problem

[Mike]

I am trying to install a .deb package from the local hard drive using 
dpkg -i package.deb.


It appears to read the package and then gives me a list of dependencies 
that are missing and that the package cannot be installed.


The problem is that I am trying to move over to Debian from Fedora so am 
a NEWBIE in Debian.


Is there a command in either dpkg or apt-get that will load a .deb from 
the local hard drive and resolve the dependencies?  I cannot find it in 
any man package or document, possibly due to being new to this structure.


Thanks

Mike Dwiggins

I don't know if there's such a command, but you simply could copy the
dependencies shown by dpkg -i and then run apt-get update to download
the package lists from the repositories, it dosn't upgrade packages and
then apt-get install PASTED_PACKAGES_YOU_COPIED.

Hi!

How about using gdebi?

DESCRIPTION
gdebi  lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its
dependencies. apt does the  same,  but  only  for  remote  (http,  ftp)
located packages.

grub install problem

[cletusjenkins]

I was given a machine with six scsi drives and I wanted to play around with 
RAID setups. The system as given to me was setup with 5 drives in a raid and 
one used as /boot. I wanted to use all of them for the raid, so I added a large 
ATA drive. On the new drive I made a /boot partition, a swap partition, a 
partition to use as a spare in the RAID and the rest of the space (90% of the 
drive) as /home.

I setup the raid and everything else (with stable) and it seemed good, on 
reboot i discovered a problem: that nice new large drive was too large for the 
mainboard's BIOS to recognize and so the /boot partition could not boot! I 
thought positively, ooh a learning opportunity.

I found a small drive the system could recognize and created a filesystem on 
it, copied over all the files from the unbootable /boot partition, using rescue 
mode. I assembled the RAID drive, and ran a shell on the resulting /dev/md0. 
Modified the /etc/fstab so /boot would have the correct blkid. I then ran 
grub-install on the small drive (/dev/sdg).

During the grub-install it spewed 25 errors error: unknown LVM metadata 
header. But the command continued on and ended saying Installation finished. 
No Errors reported.

After rebooting, it sees the small drive and grub is started, but it pauses a 
moment says Welcome to grub then just dumps me into a grub shell. Using the 
boot command I get error: no loadable kernel.

Do I have the right idea on fixing this /boot problem in general? Or did I just 
fail to do some minor thing?

scsi Install problem

[cletusjenkins]

I am trying to reinstall an older machine with an Advansys SCSI host adapter 
and not having much luck. I have two of the same model adapters and both have 
the same issues. When I boot without either in the machine, it gets well past 
my error/stopping point.

I'm booting off of the CD 1, I downloaded it 2 days ago, its worked with 
another box I reinstalled yesterday (replacing a sarge install, cleaning out

they all seem to go awry just after the kernel boots, it recognizes all the 
hardware including the scsi adapter. But at some point there is a scsi bus 
reset warning then it never seems to complete, it just keeps resetting and 
failing. The errors messages cycle and repeat:

scsi host0: error: init_state 0x1f, warn 0xfffe, error 0x0
firmware: requisting advansys/mcode.bin
Failed to load image advansys/mcode.bin err -2
scsi 0:0:0:0: SCSI bus reset started...

The internet seems to say this is a firmware issue, and suggests obtaining 
mcode.bin and place it where debian expects it to be, but I don't know where 
that is (on my laptop I assume /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/), 
but it would be a little hard to place it since this is the install CD and not 
an existing system. Can I mount the CD image and just add the file and burn it 
to disk? Would I put the file in a directory or would the installer expect it 
to be bundled in a deb/udeb file? Even so the internet also seems skeptical 
that this will actually work, but I couldn't find any reason why that is. 
Thanks for any pointers. I'm hoping to build a box with every type of scsi 
interface from ultra2 LVD down to this advansys with an internal 50-pin 
connector and external 25 pin D-sub connector. I can finally go through all my 
old scsi hard drives and then actually throw something away!

Thanks for your help! The previous install DVD (20111003) had the same

 Are you using the expert installer mode? If yes, retry the GRUB install
 several times, I don't know why but the installer usually gets stuck in
 this step and after some retries it -sometimes- finally can get installed.

I am using standard text mode installer. I have tried several times
without success.

 If that also fails you can skip the step of the bootloader install
 (always from an expert install), install as usual and then manually boot
 the new system by means of a LiveCD → boot installed system. Once you're
 in, you can install GRUB as usual.

So that way I did. I boot with recovery option and run shell on Debian
partition. Unfortunately the system did not install grub-pc (and gnome
as well). So I need to run apt-get and then I can run grub-installer.
More or less I follow this steps:

Hi, everyone

I want to little modification of telnet server.
So, I compiled netkit-telnetd and got telnetd executable file.

I copied it to /usr/sbin/in.telnetd.
But it does not operate.
How can I activate the telnetd of netkit-telnet in debian?

Re: New Debian install problem

[Brian Denheyer]

Mike,

That's great !

I'm not quite sure why you could see a mouse pointer if your video
card wasn't working.  Very strange.

My experience with ATI and Linux has been very bad.

I've got an ATI in this G5 that I'm using and it's been the first ATI
card which has worked reliably for me under Linux.  I started buying
nvidia a while ago.  They've got problems too, but fewer than ATI.

Maybe now that AMD's got them things will get better.  Linux  AMD has always 
worked well for me.

Re: 503-I386 net install problem

[Fred Zinsli]

OK, so I started it all again (can do this blind folded now).
After I select the mirror I select Alt+F4 to the the terminal screen.
I see it scanning the mirror, security and volatile repositories.
D/L speed is about 182Kb/s

It then all stops at the place mentioned in my original message.
I can leave it there for hours (over night), nothing happens.

It seems all ridiculous considering I could do a net install up until about
2 weeks ago.
I have done nothing with the firewall, no changes to the network, no new
equipment. And whats even more perplexing is that it will happily scan the
repositories without error. I even download the netinst ISO again and
burned it to CD again just in case mine had an error.

There has to be something I am missing (and probably looking right at it)
but I can't see the wood for the trees.

Further comments would be most helpful.

Fred

Hello all 

I have been trying this for some time now and can't seem to resolve the
problem. 

Version: Debian stable i386 503 netinst 

Downloaded today as an ISO from the Debian site. 

I get to the point where the installer asks for the mirror and it goes
away and scans the mirror/security/volatile repositories. 

At that point it all stops. 

On the install screen it shows the Select and install software banner
with the message Please wait ... at the bottom, and it is at 1% on
the progress bar. 

It does this for any mirror I select. I don't believe it is a problem
with my network as my other D503 server updates properly (apt-get
update), and other distros (Centos  to abort, enter No: 

That is as far as I am getting. 

This is now day 11 and I am getting a little the worse for the effort. 

If I bypass the mirror select the base system installs and grub
installs. But with my very limited knowledge I can't seem to get any
further head with that as I can't seem to install
any other packages using apt-get with
the CD in the drive. Yup, really limited knowledge. 

Can someone please put me out of my misery and point out the error of
my ways. 

Regards 

Fred
 
 While this is happening do you press F4 key, I think that's it, just to
 see what is really happening. Depending on your connection speed it may
 take some time to scan this mirror and the all its packages.
 
 In the past, my connection speed has been slow and and I saw just how
 slow when I hit F4.
 
 Hope that helps.

I think you may be overcomplicating things: IIUC, you *can install 
the base system* without specifying any mirrors. Why don't you just do 
that then?
IIRC, that's actually *not* without mirrors -- it's just the default US 
servers the installer defaults to. Once you have the base system, you 
just fire up Synaptics
Package Manager and select Repositories in one of its menus (it's the 
second menu from the right, next to the Help menu). You then just 
tick (enable) all four options. The package manager should default to 
the US mirrors. While you're at it, you may also disable (untick) your 
CDROM on the second tab and tick (enable) both types of updates on the 
third tab.
The only thing I can image could go wrong is that your nearby mirrors 
are having some glitches at the moment. For the time being, I would 
stick to the default (if perhaps slowish) US servers and postpone
troubleshooting to a later day.

Synaptic in base system? I dont think it is part of it. But in any case, 
aptitude will work. You may also use tasksel after a base install. Something 
like tasksel install standard will install, well tandard staff, then tasksel 
install desktop will install gnome destop, or if you kde or xfe:
desktop=kde (for kde desktop) then tasksel install desktop.
Hope it helps (even if it does not explain why you get stack!)

New Debian install problem

[Brian Denheyer]

Mike,


A mouse pointer is a good thing as it means X is probably working.

To get a login window you need a display manager of some sort.

Usually its gdm, but could also be mwm, kdm, and several others (I
think).

Make sure that gdm is installed, e.g.

ii  gdm2.20.10-1  GNOME Display Manager


Your version may not necessarily match mine.  jDepending on your setup
you may be running one of the other display managers.

Try 

  dpkg --list | grep -i manager 

and see what shows up.

If there is a display manager installed, then there is some issue with
the start-up scripts.

503-I386 net install problem

[Fred Zinsli]

Hello all 

I have been trying this for some time now and can't seem to resolve the
problem. 

Version: Debian stable i386 503 netinst 

Downloaded today as an ISO from the Debian site. 

I get to the point where the installer asks for the mirror and it goes
away and scans the mirror/security/volatile repositories. 

At that point it all stops. 

On the install screen it shows the Select and install software banner
with the message Please wait ... at the bottom, and it is at 1% on the
progress bar. 

It does this for any mirror I select. I don't believe it is a problem with
my network as my other D503 server updates properly (apt-get update), and
other distros (Centos  to abort, enter No: 

That is as far as I am getting. 

This is now day 11 and I am getting a little the worse for the effort. 

If I bypass the mirror select the base system installs and grub installs.
But with my very limited knowledge I can't seem to get any further head
with that as I can't seem to install
any other packages using apt-get with
the CD in the drive. Yup, really limited knowledge. 

Can someone please put me out of my misery and point out the error of my
ways. 

Regards 

Fred

While this is happening do you press F4 key, I think that's it, just to
see what is really happening. Depending on your connection speed it may
take some time to scan this mirror and the all its packages.

In the past, my connection speed has been slow and and I saw just how
slow when I hit F4.

Hope that helps.

install problem

[Jan Willem Stumpel]

This is really an embarrassing question for an old Debian hand to
ask, but how do I install Debian?

I just bought a netbook which has no CDROM drive, but which can
boot from a USB stick. I could dd an Ubuntu image to the stick and
then boot from it. But I prefer just plain old Debian.

I found (through the Debian home page) an image called
debian-503-i386-netinst.iso. I dd'd it to the stick. But the
netbook does not boot from it.

There must be something very elementary which I did wrong. But what?

Regards, Jan

Hello Jan,

look for example here:

Here are the instructions you will need: 
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en

There is an all-in-one file hd-media/boot.img.gz which contains all the installer files (including the kernel) as well as 
syslinux and its configuration file.


To use this image simply extract it directly to your USB stick:

# zcat boot.img.gz  /dev/sdX

After that, mount the USB memory stick (mount /dev/sdX /mnt), which will now have a FAT filesystem on it, and copy a Debian 
netinst or businesscard ISO image to it. Unmount the stick (umount /mnt) and you are done.

glibc install problem

[Thomas H. George]

The installation end in Error 2 as shown in the captured output included
below.

My system is Lenney with a 2.6.26-1-amd64 stock kernel.  I installed the
debian glibc-source_2.7-13.all.deb package, unpacked
glibc-2.7ds1.tar.bz2 into /usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.7, created
/usr/src/gnu/glibc-build and from this directory ran
../glibc-2.7/configure  --prefix=/usr
and then
env LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C make install

Output poured accross the console for a long time - an incredible amount
work must have gone into this - but finally stopped with the following
lines:

sdeps/generic/elf -I../sysdeps/generic -I../nptl  -I.. -I../libio -I.  -D_LIBC_
REENTRANT -include ../include/libc-symbols.h   -DNOT_IN_libc=1-o /usr/src/g
nu/glibc-build/elf/sprof.o -MD -MP -MF /usr/src/gnu/glibc-build/elf/sprof.o.dt 
-MT /usr/src/gnu/glibc-build/elf/sprof.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/gnu/glibc-build/dlfcn/libdl.so.2'
, needed by `/usr/src/gnu/glibc-build/elf/sprof'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.7/elf'
make[1]: *** [elf/subdir_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.7'
make: *** [install] Error 2
Phoenix:/usr/src/gnu/glibc-build#

I am unsure that I have done everything correctly.  The source package I
downloaded contained four .bz2 files and I have used only glibc-2.7ds1.
After expanding it into the glibc-2.7 directory I read the README and
INSTALL directions and tried to follow them carefully.  I did check that
I have the required versions or latter of all the necessary packages
listed in INSTALL.

I would appreciate any assistance in completing this install.

Debian 4.0r3 for s/390, network install problem

[Ventura]

I am trying to do a network install of Debian 4.0r3 and unfortunately
I am receiving a message about modules unavailable.

This the part of installation dialog with the messages.
//
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem
by choosing to install a different version of Debian.
The install will probably fail to work if you continue without
kernel modules. Continue the install without loading kernel modules?

Go Back Yes No

According to what I can see in the repository, the mediawiki package 
is just a metapackage. All it contains is a dependency on mediawiki1.7 
(or 1.9, depending on your release).

The leftovere files you removed probably belong(ed) to mediawiki1.7 
(or mediawiki1.9).  If you blow that away (apt-get --purge remove ...) 
and reinstall it, you might get somewhere...

Hope this helps

 (or mediawiki1.9).  If you blow that away (apt-get --purge remove ...)
 and reinstall it, you might get somewhere...

 Hope this helps

Not so.  My setup is:

$ uname -r
2.6.18-3-686
$ mount|grep boot
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
$ ls /boot/*2.6.18-3-686*
/boot/System.map-2.6.18-3-686  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686
/boot/config-2.6.18-3-686  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686
$grep boot /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /bootext3defaults  0 2

My /boot/grub/menu.lst for the default boot:

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-686
root(hd0,0)
kernel  /vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-686 root=LABEL=/root ro
initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686

===

NOTE that the path names for the kernel and initrd image DO NOT have a 
leading '/boot', this is because, for the filesystem on /dev/sda1, these 
files are 'connected' to the filesystem's 'root', which ONLY becomes 
/boot/... when the system is up and running, with filesystems from the 
fstab file mounted.


The above was set up automatically, during the install, by the Debian 
installer.  I explicitly selected to have '/boot' be a separate file 
system.  I suspect the OP's problem is, in fact, because of the 
differences between what the actual setup is and what the dpkg scripts 
expect.  I further conjecture that the original install was with /boot 
on the root filesystem, and that a later decision was made to change it, 
with the boot files on a separate filesystem.


To fix this, as root:

# cd /boot/boot
# mv * .. # no hidden files to worry about.
# cd ..
# rmdir boot
# edit /etc/fstab
  - add/modify line to mount the boot partition, see above example
# edit grub/menu.lst
  - to fix any kernel/initrd paths, removing /boot, see above example
# reboot
...
# apt-get update 

Of course, you should make backups of everything, just in case.  And, 
rather than just removing the extra 'boot' directory, you might also 
want to do 'ln -s . boot', so if there are any residual dependencies on 
/boot/boot/..., they will automatically resolve to the right place.

Thanks for the help. I've have indeed got /boot on it's own partition. I 
apt installed grub an age ago and it created /boot/boot itself - I 
thought it a little odd at the time. Perhaps the install scripts weren't 
very clever way back when it was installed.


The machine has been running Debian for a long time - it started out on 
late 2.2 kernels - and up until now grub has updated fine when a new 
kernel is installed even with the /boot/boot oddness. I'm wondering if 
something has changed with the way new kernels are installed.


I was actually thinking about retiring the machine any way as it's 
getting a bit long in the tooth. As it's a server and currently 
providing some vital network services I can't realistically afford large 
amounts of down time on it so I think I'll hold off making the changes 
you suggest. Many thanks though.

Kernel install problem

[Graham Smith]

I tried to do an update this morning and ran into the problem below when 
it came to installing the kernel. I've looked in 
/boot/boot/grub/menu.lst and the new kernel 2.6.18-4 hasn't been added 
(I'm running 2.6.18-3 and that is the top kernel in the list).


Any ideas what's gone wrong?

You can't do that becasue the first thing grub looks for is the boot/
directory on the root filesystem.  If /boot is a separate partition,
it is the first thing that grub sees, and so it looks for boot/ under
it.  When we mount it on /boot, it ends up looking to us (but not to
grub) as /boot/boot.

I thought the /boot/boot thing came from installing grub
incorrectly. When I have been too smart for my own good and applied a
--root-directory switch to grub-install, its ended up in
/boot/boot. If I just let it work on its own it end sup in /boot. This
is with /boot on a seperate partition. At elast once, I've messed up
and had it in /boot/boot and just mv'ed it up one level and all works
well.

JRE just allows Java programs to execute (iterprets Java VM), but J2SE

If you want to run Debian, install Debian from the get go. Knoppix-Debian or 
Ubuntu-Debian are not supported and will consume a lot of time in the end. 
Your best bet (in terms of time) is to reinstall Debian from the scratch.

Though Knoppix is Debian based and many of us keep a disk handy for
rescue it is unlikely that we can help you. You might get better help
on the Knoppix forum. This problem might already be
documented/discussed on the forum.

 Installierte Pakete liegen in /var/cache/apt/archives

aja Danke

Ja, einfach auf CD kopieren und vorher noch eine Packages Datei anlegen.
Das geht am einfachsten mit apt-ftparchive aus dem Paket  . In das
Verzeichnis mit den ganzen .deb-Dateien wechseln und apt-ftparchive
Packages ./ | gzip Packages.gz.

Ok danke, soweit die Theorie. Man benötigt: Ein Brennprogramm. Ich versuchte 
jetzt einige zu installieren, entweder der letzte Schrott (keine 
Unterstützung von schon beschriebenen CD's (AddMode)), oder Sourcen die sich 
nicht kompilieren lassen (kein Makefile) ... Frust pur.

Jetzt habe ich eine Nero-DEB File gefunden. Über KDE entpackt und oh wunder, 
sogar das Debian Logo leuchtet beim .deb file auf. Gleich mal naiverweise 
draufgeklickt in der Hoffnung es würde sich installieren, na ja man gibt die 
Hoffnung ja nicht auf nicht war? Aber ging natürlcih nicht, wär ja zu 
einfach.

So jetzt habe ich ein wunderschönes .deb File auf meiner Platte und kriege es 
ums Verrecken nicht installiert.

Sogar als root im Terminal eingeloggt, ins Verzeichnis gehupft und es mit 
apt-get install nero* probiert, davor noch in sources.list eingetragen
deb file:/home/sloos/Install/deb unstable non-free
probiert, ging auch nicht, obwohl er das Paket mit sienem ganzen Namen in 
einer Fehlermeldung ausgeben hatte. Doku zu der ganzen Problematik auch nicht 
vorhanden.

Kann mir bitte jemand sage wie ich ein .deb File auf Platte installiere ?

Wieso faengst du nicht erstmal an dich mit deinem neuen System und den

Anwenderhandbuch? Da steht alles drin was du wissen willst.

Doch die Doku ist reichlich vorhanden, man muss sie nur finden und

man dpkg.

Ach und in Zukunft oeffne doch bei einem neuen Thema auch einen neuen

Hmm, was Du da schreibst hinterlässt bei mir ganz stark den Eindruck, 
das Du das DAHB immer noch nicht angeschaut hast.
Zum brennen eignet sich cdrecord. Als Frontend bieten sich xcdroast oder

das sein?)

Sehr interessant.

 Allerdings ist das so ungefaehr wie rpm fuer $Program runterladen,
 mit alien umwandeln und mittels dpkg -i installieren. (Oder
 installierte klik direkt nur rpm's...)

Wenn ich die Beschreibung richtig verstanden habe, dann hat klik eigene

 Hi
 
 Ok Danke, jetzt läuft es. Hätte allerdings auch erwartet dass VGA läuft. 
 Egal.

Dann eher vesa, aber nicht vga.

 Aber weil ich gerade dabei bin, hier noch ein paar mehr Fragen:
 
 - Ich versuchte die Basisinstallation mit der Option Linux26 beim Prompt  
 zu wiederholen, das System hing sich unmittelbar nach der  
 Regionseinstellung auf. Problem bekannt?

Du kannst den Kernel 2.6 auch in einem laufenden System nachinstallieren.

 - Kann es sein dass Linux keine Software einfach so installieren kann? Nix  
 mit:
 *Setup.exe (self extracting) downloaden
 *Setup ausführen
 *optinal reboot meinetwegen
 *Anwenden?
 Die ganze Zeit suche ich nach ein bisschen Software zum Testen, selbst für 
 poblige Spiele (prboom) werde ich allen ernstes damit konfrontiert mir  
 Sourcen kompillieren zu müssen? Das kann doch nicht wahr sein oder? Also,  
 wie installiere ich unter KDE ein Spiel oder einen Zipper oder ein anderes  
 kleine Tool?

Cool. Schau dir mal kpackage oder aptitude (auf der Konsole) an.

 - Gibt es eine brauchbare FireWall  für Debian Kernel 2.4?

Ja. Hast du Ahnung von Firewall-Regeln?

 - Gibt es eine C++ Entwicklungumgebung mit Resourcenverwaltung (analog  
 Visual/MFC) ?

kdevelop? Was meinst du mit Ressourcenverwaltung? CVS, RCS,
Subversion, git?

 - Wie schmeisse ich den ganzen Müll an Software der mitinstalliert wurde  
 wieder runter (aus KDE heraus?)

Du kannst dein Menu bearbeiten oder die Software deinstallieren
s. kpackage  / aptitude.

 - Wie kann ich KDE beenden und im Basisbetriebssystem weiterarbeiten?

STRG+ALT+F1 (oder F2, F3, ...)

 Hmm das wars erstmal. Im Grunde stellt sich mir die Frage ob ich mit  
 Debian/KDE o. Gnome Software und Hardware so normal verwalten kann wie  
 unter Windows. Irgendwie kommt mir alles furchtbar umständlich vor und man 
 braucht viel zu viel Zeit, aber vielleicht gibt es ja Mechanismen die das  
 beschleunigen.
 
Ja. Aber das mit dem so normal wie unter Windows klappt
nicht. *scnr*

Ich empfehle dir http://debiananwenderhandbuch.de/

und bitte unter dem Zitat antworten. Danke.

Wo es genau alles hin packt weiß ich nicht so genau. Ist aber im Grunde

so einfach machen wie unter OS X.

Das klappt recht gut, allerdings kann man die dafuer notwendige Software
nicht mehr sauber deinstallieren, solange man nicht das
Installationsskript analysiert.

Und auch wenn die Pakete nach /usr/local/bin installiert werden, oder
ins $HOME kann das Probleme verursachen.

Hi

Danke erstmal für Eure Geduld und Mühe mit mir...

 Du koenntest natuerlich auch einen 2.6er Kernel installieren 
hab ich ja probiert, geht ja nicht...

 Du musst dich ein wenig von dem Windows-Ansatz immer den neuesten Treiber
 selbst installieren loesen.

Komisch. So muss man sich bei Linux um jeden Schmarrn in irgendwelchen
Scripten händisch kümmern, aber das was wichtig ist, darauf habe ich
keien Einfluss. Ich mein mein Interesse beruht ja ein bisschen auf embedded 
Linux, und da spielen Treiberversionen oft eine entscheidende Rolle.


 Nein, synaptic ist z.B. nicht textorientiert
Ja jetzt habe ich es auch entdeckt. Sollte man beim KDE gleich defaultmässig im 
Hauptmenu reinschreiben und Softwareverwaltung nennen dann wär die Sache klar.
Das Programm scheint auch nur in der allgemeine App Liste im Startmenu 
aufzutauchen, wieso sieht man das icht unter Settings o. System?

Was mache ich eigentlich wenn ich selber Software geschrieben habe, 
insbesonders X11 basierte GUI Applikationen? Gibt es Installer für Linux? 
Auswahl des Menuknotens im KDE etc? Uninstaller?

Jetzt habe ich noch 2 Probleme:
* Das Scrollwheel geht definitiv nicht
* Mein Druckerhersteller hat Treiber für Debian2.2 und später-gut also. Er sagt 
wenn die CD nicht automatisch startet beim Einlegen soll ich Setup.sh 
ausführen. Geht aber nicht:

debian:/media/cdrom0# ls
autorun  cups  help  locale  misc  README.txt  setup.data
bin  data  icon.xpm  Manual  ppd   scripts setup.sh
debian:/media/cdrom0# ./setup.sh
bash: ./setup.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Keine Berechtigung


* Ich kann die CD über KDE nicht auswerfen. Auch wenn ich sie unmounte 
(verdammt: kann das unmounten nicht automatisch beim Drücken aufs Knöpfle 
passieren?) und der Status unmounted ist funktioniert Eject nicht. Es kommt 
der Fehler:
Eject /dev/hdc failed
hdc ist doch nicht cdrom0 oder?


Gruss
Stefan

Nicht beim Installieren des Systems, sondern hinterher mit einem der

Das ist Bloedsinn.

Klar hast du darauf Einfluss, nur ist der Treiber Teil der grafischen
Oberflaeche (nicht! KDE). Das wird sich erst beim naechsten Debian
Release aendern. Und wieso wichtig - wenn der aktuelle Treiber
funktioniert reicht das doch aus oder? Da braucht man doch keine neue
Version.

Fuer NVidia und ATI gibts proprietaere Treiber, da kann man sich dann
ganz der Versionitis hingeben.

 Ich mein mein Interesse beruht ja ein bisschen auf embedded Linux, und
 da spielen Treiberversionen oft eine entscheidende Rolle.

Wie das mit embedded Linux aussieht weiss ich nicht, da hab ich
keinerlei Erfahrung.

 im Hauptmenu reinschreiben und Softwareverwaltung nennen dann wär die Sache 
 klar.
 Das Programm scheint auch nur in der allgemeine App Liste im Startmenu 
 aufzutauchen, wieso sieht man das icht unter Settings o. System?

Das liegt daran dass es keine KDE Applikation ist und dadurch auch nicht
direkt im KDE Menu auftaucht. Das was unter Debian/.. auftaucht ist
alles was an GUI-Apps im System installiert ist.

 Was mache ich eigentlich wenn ich selber Software geschrieben habe, 
 insbesonders X11 basierte GUI Applikationen? Gibt es Installer für Linux? 
 Auswahl des Menuknotens im KDE etc? Uninstaller?

Nein es gibt keine Installer. Man fuegt Metainformationen hinzu, wodurch
man mit bestimmten Tools z.B. ein .deb oder .rpm bauen kann. Genauere
Informationen dazu liefert (fuer .deb's) der Debian New Maintainers
Guide. Aber du solltest dir wirklich das dahb durchlesen, da werden
diese Dinge erlaeutert.

 Jetzt habe ich noch 2 Probleme:
 * Das Scrollwheel geht definitiv nicht

X11-Konfig, Option ZAxisMapping 4 5.

 * Mein Druckerhersteller hat Treiber für Debian2.2 und später-gut also. Er 
 sagt wenn die CD nicht automatisch startet beim Einlegen soll ich Setup.sh 
 ausführen. Geht aber nicht:
 
 debian:/media/cdrom0# ls
 autorun  cups  help  locale  misc  README.txt  setup.data
 bin  data  icon.xpm  Manual  ppd   scripts setup.sh
 debian:/media/cdrom0# ./setup.sh
 bash: ./setup.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Keine Berechtigung

Die CD ist vmtl. nicht exec-gemountet. Was fuer ein Drucker? Debian 2.2
ist schon uralt, der Treiber wird u.U. nicht mehr in Sarge
funktionieren. Druckerinformationen kriegt man auf
www.linuxprinting.org.

 * Ich kann die CD über KDE nicht auswerfen. Auch wenn ich sie unmounte 
 (verdammt: kann das unmounten nicht automatisch beim Drücken aufs Knöpfle 
 passieren?)

Nein kann es nicht, weil die Software davon nichts mitbekommt. Beschwer
dich beim Hardwarehersteller.

 und der Status unmounted ist funktioniert Eject nicht. Es kommt der Fehler:
 Eject /dev/hdc failed
 hdc ist doch nicht cdrom0 oder?

Unter Umstaenden. ls -l /dev/cdrom0 sagt dir das genau.

Das Programm eject aus dem Paket eject funktioniert eigentlich immer (und
unmountet auch).

Ach und noch eine Bitte: Kuerze doch deine Zeilen auf ca. 72 Zeichen
(dort einen richtigen Zeilenumbruch einfuegen), da hier einige Leute
nicht so viel Platz auf dem Schirm haben.
