Re: How to trick my Debian in thinking that a package is not installed

Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.2.1-2 aptitude's resolver will *still* upgrade held packages, due to an interaction between the dependency solver and unused package removal. Unused packages are removed before dependencies get solved, and sometimes the dependency solver has to put a package "back"

Please reply to the list instead of reply to any person. I am not sure why this is happening. But I have noticed that all cdroms are not equal. Some disks give out read error on some drives, where as they work on other drives. Your problem may not be related to debian/win/mac, but it may be rel

Re: DVD/CD Read Issues

Replying to debian-user.. 1. Take the cd (you burnt with this drive) and try to mount it using another cdrom to see the quality of that cd. 2. Take a readonly cdrom/cdr(written from some where else) and try to use it in this drive to see how the drive works. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 17:15, Jam

How about single user mode? Are you able to get virtual console there. Also try to disable gdm/kdm, see whether virtual consoles are working. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 16:08, rudu wrote: > Le 27/04/2010 03:48, Hugo Vanwoerkom a écrit : > >> >> rudu wrote: >> >>> Le 26/04/2010 20:55, Hugo Vanwoerk

So, about that TV card! I realize this isn't strictly a Debian-related question, as I use Ubuntu on my HTPC, but I'm sure it is the same on a Debian system. Is there an easy way to get the machine to autodetect my antenna? Is there a command to get it to output the name of the device? (The jack
