Hi all,
I consulted the Trelby mailing list on this, but haven't had a response. I
think it might be a more Debian specific issue anyway. I tried to install the
Trelby screenwriting software on Debian Jessie, following the instructions at
linuxg.net:
$ wget http://www.trelby.org/files/release/
Hey all,
I would like to see if anyone could give some advice or opinions on getting an
inexpensive laptop to run Debian. I plan to use the machine for lighter duty
functions; writing, web browsing, programming, etc. Basically, I am looking for
something with a little more muscle than a Chrome
.
Thanks for the help!

Hi all,
I am running wheezy on an old Dell Inspiron B130. After updating today, after
not having had the machine powered on for a few weeks, Gnome freezes on
startup. I have the machine boot to command prompt, I run 'start x' and the gui
background comes up, but it hangs there and I can't do an

After poring over the output of dmesg with guidance from Peter Zoeller, I got
the idea that maybe the wheezy live system doesn't recognize or automatically
mount the local drives by default. I downloaded Knoppix, and it worked
wonderfully. It reco

I just downloaded it when this problem arose, like a week ago.

Hi all,
I just built bash 4.3.29 from source. I wanted to change my root and one user
account to use it as the default shell. I ran sudo chsh and entered
/usr/local/bin/bash, and everything was fine. I could log in and out, run
commands, and the $SHELL and $BASH_VERSION environment variables co

Hi all,
I just installed z shell through:
#apt-get install zsh zsh-doc
Before installing, I looked for it with which and whereis. I got nothing from
which, (it now lists /usr/bin/zsh) and when I typed whereis zsh it only
returned:

Hi all,
I would like to record audio with Wheezy through the Akai EIE Pro audio
interface. Akai does not officially support Linux. I have searched around the
internet, and mostly all I can find are forum posts, from people trying to get
it to work, that remain unsolved. I tried out ArtistX, thi

Hi all,
I recently installed Debian Wheezy on an old Dell Inspiron laptop. It's working
pretty well, aside from a few hiccups. One of these happens when updating.
apt-get update returns the following errors:
