Problems with Debian Testing
Hi, I just upgraded Debian Wheezy to Testing/Jessey. The up-gradation process is done and now my Debian Testing is acting weird. Softwares/apps look like I'm running them using WINE. I mean, They are looking as if they're Windows' software and I'm running them in Debian using WINE. But in fact they are not. Now what can I do? Should I fall-back to the Debian Stable or what?

Sharing Files and Folders over LAN and accessing them from Windows PC
Hi, I searched couple of blogs and other sites and followed their instructions to install and configure Samba for Debian. The best I could do is to share files but they weren't copyable. So I want a procedure that would work. For that I'm describing here my wish lists: * I want to share files and folders from Debian that would be accessible from any Windows PC (cause I'm the only one using or trying to use Debian here) over LAN. * Files and folders should be accessible without any fuss; I mean user can access them without any username and password. * Uses should be able to copy the files and folders easily and without any password but they shouldn't have the power to delete them. These are more or less what I want with sharing files and folders. Now how can I do that? Could anyone please describe the ways and provide the instructions and perhaps any working links? With thanks, Muntasim Ul Haque
grub2 menu problems
Hi, I dual-booted Debian with Windows 8. Windows 8 is shown as /Windows Vista/ in grub menu.

Re: Can't login to Xfce after reboot in Debian 7.5
Got the solution. Here it is: "1) Move the infinality script out of the system profile: /sudo mv /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh /etc/infinality-settings.sh et / 2) Change permission to exectute by everyone: /sudo chmod a+rx /etc/infinality-settings.sh / 3) Using your favourite text editor add following lines at the end of your .bashrc file in home directory: # INFINALITY FONT RENDERING CONFIG** / . /etc/infinality-settings.sh " /Now I don't get it why I should move the script, change the permission or edit the config file. GNOME worked well with Infinality. I didn't have to do any of these. Would anyone care to elaborate these steps for me? Thanks. Also, is there any better alternative to Infinality for Debian. I want better font rendering. The default font rendering is bad. Also changing the anti-aliasing and other doesn't make a big difference. -Muntasim Ul Haque / /

Shutdown computer after a specific command has been executed
Hi, I need a tool that would make sure that, my computer would shutdown after a specific command has been executed. This tool would just wait for the Terminal for executing a command, like '/sudo apt-get upgrade/' and then after the command has been executed, my computer would shutdown. Is that possible?

Thanks Lars, Mardorf, Ashmore, Lauri and Jorgensen for your advice. I needed it badly and your advice showed me the way. Thanks a lot.

Sometimes it happens that I've a large software to install like the TeXworks, which is about 650MB, I think. Or, the system up-gradation, if you may consider. In that case, that would take 6Hrs+ for my Internet connection. Sometimes I execute the command and go to sleep. If the command execution completes and the Internet is still on, then it would be a waste of my Internet. That's why I needed a command that would shutdown the computer after the command execution. That's it. And thanks for your concern. With thanks, Muntasim-Ul-Haque -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

No sound in Debian 8 'jessie' Xfce on Youtube
