Debian wheezy testing - auto printer install
Good day, Installed latest wheezy weekly. I understand it is testing. The printer auto install / manual install does not work. Installed splix - no change. Anything else that should be done? Would like to test OS if printer does work. Thanks JohanS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

From thunderbird to thunderbird is the same just change the hidden file names for the systems. After the transfer when you first time start thunderbird it will check your additions etc. rsync -av /media/johan/trans-3/sam-all/home-all/.icedove/ /home/johan/.thunderbird/ I play around with about five different OS'ses and do this from my "master" OS. Like firefox, gnucash, all other files I would like to transfer. Do this with scripts. Enjoy Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: How to install Debian 7 to external hard disk
On 26/08/2013 13:46, Bonno Bloksma wrote: Hi, Is there a preferred way to install Debian 7 from DVD to an external (USB) hard disk ? Euh... just install it on that disk? ;-) The whole external hard disk is to be used instead of the internal hard disk. Ok, no problem. This is to experiment with the new release (and discover fish hooks like graphics that don't work) while leaving the internal hard disk with the production Debian 6 on it completely alone. Sensible. One then boots from either the external hard disk or the internal hard disk. Yes and no, but read on. To set this up, at what stage in the install process does one actually put the new release on to the external disk ? When it asks which disk to set it up to and whether you want to do the partitioning yourself (manual) or guided. Does one need to also tell the install program where to put grub ? or does it do that automatically ? You just stated above you have a production version of Debian on the internal disk, so it has Grub already. The new installation on the external disk just needs to be added to the existing Grub config. The installer should do that for you. Is there any other special configuration one needs to do to properly put the new release on to the external hard disk ? Not that I know of. It is vastly preferable not to unplug the internal hard disk or otherwise disrupt the functioning system. No, the installer needs to access the Grub config on that disk. Unplugging it would also change the name of the disks (sda, sdb, etc) and might interfere with the installation or later on with running it, although it should not when using the default disk labels. Of course the internal hard disk will be backed up before the attempted install ... Yes, please do so. ;-) Bonno Bloksma Good day, I have been doing this for years. Run 5 different linux flavours on different usb drives. It works fine. My windows drive is in the laptop. IMPORTEND.. Pick the correct drive and partition to install. Pick the correct drive and mbr to install boot loader. Otherwise it will mes-up your windows mbr. Unless this is where you want to install the boot loader.

debian 6 - latest release - internet connection
Good day, After installing debian 6 it was found that it prefers built in wireless connection on my dsl. The wire connection was inserted and available. The wireless connection works ok at 55% but I would prefer wired connection. Fedora, centos, mandriva prefers wired connection on installation. Could there be a reason for debian's behaviour.

Could there be a reason for debian's behaviour. When you say "inserted and available" do you mean just plugged in, or actually working in Debian? Could it be that the wired ethernet card was not recognized and/or no driver was loaded? Does the wired interface work if you turn off the wireless manually? Good day, Was installing debian 6. Went through the fases answer the questions. It whent on and installed about 1200 files without asking the wireless password. Now I think it must have used the wired connection. When I rebooted (first reboot after install) it was found that the wireless connection was used. It will not auto configure eth0. I can not manually configure eth0. I can not answer required questions. Point of interest. Fedora 14 and Mandriva 2010.2 was able to configure and use (1) Wired (2) Wireless and (3) Mobile broad on the same machine. They are all installed on separate external USB drives on same machine.. Just switch cables to boot other distro. When debian 5.06 was used it connected to the wired connection. Did not upgrade (never upgrade) do fresh install always. Something must have changed. Thanks Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

debian 6 usb 3 ready ???
Good day, Tried to install Debian 6 on usb drive via USB 3 port. Could not see the drive so tried on USB 2 port, went ok. After installation it worked on USB 3 but when connected an other usb drive in the 2nd usb3 port debian froze while the drive was loading. Froze so bad that I had to disconnect the internal batt. The swith off had no affect. This now happened twice. Should I rather run debian via usb2 ports. My laptop have 2xusb2 and 2xusb3 ports. Debian has a nice gnome desktop and it connects without hassels to my huawei modem. Hope that debian won't change to some rather difficult desktop After some use I want to move debian to my internal drive. That is were ubuntu now resides. Running ubuntu 11.04 without any trouble but the way the gnome/unity is going I am looking for the gnome desktop as it is at this moment. Kindly some advice on my questions please.

Running ubuntu 11.04 without any trouble but the way the gnome/unity is going I am looking for the gnome desktop as it is at this moment. Mmm... Ubuntu 11.04 ships a newer kernel (2.6.38 vs. 2.6.32) so maybe you could try to load a higher kernel in your Debian to check for any improvement in USB 3 support :-? Greetings, Good day Camaleón, Installing a higher kernel - slightly beyond me. Running her with debian 6 on usb3 and backup drive in usb 2. So far so good. Thanks for advice.

This mail is from Test. I think that a large percentage of the users on this list use Squeeze on their desktops. It has already ben frozen, so will become progressively more stable until it becomes Stable and Lenny is downgraded to Old Stable. So you should be fine. I am sure that that was the best thing to do in the circumstances. By the way, Squeeze is Testing, which is not unstable. Tho' it probably appears unstable to many people here, it is not classified as unstable, but as testing. Sid is Unstable and is indeed unstable!

Your paste: http://pastebin.com/kfYqmmCd
That it is. Thanks :-)
Ops, it seems your xorg server is using the VESA driver, that looks no
good to me (VESA driver is the most basic video driver available). OTOH,
that matches with the bug report :-(
If you still feel vigorous enough to play again with your "/etc/X11/
xorg.conf" file I can give you another hint: force the load of SiS driver.
Again, you'll have to create the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and put in
there:
***
Section "Device"
Driver "sis671"
EndSection
***
Done including the stars *** that correct
Your paste: http://pastebin.com/pLM39MWy
Bad happenend again. Tried startx in user and super mode. no dice
Await your report before the next one.
Johan
And restart.
If that does not work, you can also try with this:
***
Section "Device"
Driver "sis"
EndSection
***
I dunno what would be the appropiate driver for Debian ("sis" or
"sis671"), so try first with one and then with the other O:-)
By doing this, we are trying to force Xorg server to load a more advanced/
suitable VGA driver for your card chipset in the hope the new driver can
allow you to choose another resolution (1024x768).
Don't forget to attach the new logs (pastebin) for each change you make
in your "xorg.conf" file, so we can verify if the new configuration has
been correctly applied.

Uh? :-?
Well... you have to understand what we are trying to get with that. The
goal is to kill the X server (your X session) in order you can run "Xorg -
configure" command.
If killing gdm3 does not work, you can try by calling "init 1" ("init 1"
is single-user mode with no graphical server) and run the command from
there.
So jump to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1), login as root and run:
init 1
Re-type root's password to get into maintenance console and follow the
last steps:
cd /etc/X11/
Xorg -configure
Well the short of it..it ends in .. ABORT.
Any suggestions for maybe a new card that is supported by squeeze?
Or a card that is more compatible with linux distros?
Now say I do replace the card.
How will debian handle it and maybe the other distros that I have on
external disks without reinstalling.
Suse11.3, Ubuntu 10.10.

Any suggestions for maybe a new card that is supported by squeeze? But didn't you own a laptop? How could you change the VGA card? I know there are some external VGA ATI devices but AFAIK they are bundled with concrete laptop brands, not suitable for all laptops. Or a card that is more compatible with linux distros?

How will debian handle it and maybe the other distros that I have on external disks without reinstalling. Suse11.3, Ubuntu 10.10. Almost any common VGA card (ati, nvidia or intel) would be fine. For instance, I've got a nvidia 7600GS (quite old, I know) running on Debian lenny pretty fine and previously was running on openSUSE 10.3 :-) Today, installing a new VGA card should be an automatic step in latest distributions (as openSUSE 11.3 and Ubuntu 10.10) because Xorg has been automated precisely to achieve this situation (VGA card replacement, monitor change...). Only when facing problems (such your case, I guess) manual tweaks are required. Greetings, Now that remains is a big thank you for a big effort from you to solve this.

Evolution online/offline with n-m only works if network-manager controls *all* network devices. If there is an active network device not controlled by n-m then it won't be known and will be marked as offline to Evolution. If you don't need network-manager, and if you are suffering from the problem of n-m not managing your network devices then it would seem that you would not need it, then you can restore Evolution's online capability by removing the network-manager package.
