Hello,
I have a system running Debian Testing. It was freshly installed from
the stable net-installer image then immediately upgraded to testing. I
then installed xfce4 and configured it to start from console as per
these[1] instructions. However, when I run `startx`, I get some output
from it (th

Hi list,
I'm running Debian Stretch/testing (updated daily). I use Xfce4 and
Mousepad as my GUI text editor. It seems that Mousepad is no longer
saving my preferences.
If I open a text document (either by File->Open or double-clicking
a file from the desktop), make changes to the preferences, clo

Thanks for all the replies in the previous thread! I've been doing some
reading and have another question. It seems the default for LUKS (as
displayed by `cryptsetup --help`) is:

Hi list,
I have a USB external HDD that I would like to encrypt with a
passphrase. After looking into filesystems, I decided to go with Ext4.
What's the recommended way of encrypting a drive? Do I partition it
first, then encrypt that partition?
Internet searches lead me to LUKS & cryptsetup. How
Hi all,
Is there a way to "--purge" by default when using apt-get or aptitude?
I often browse the apt repo and install various things I find (mostly
games) to discover it, then remove them in a few hours/days/weeks. I'm
afraid of leaving tons of config files laying on my system.
Thanks,
Steve

Nah, I definitely wouldn't say "notoriously" difficult. There's some

I have Postfix and Dovecot running on my Debian Jessie/testing system.
When I first setup the system a few months ago, I know that Postfix and
Dovecot were both logging to /var/log/mail.log through syslog because I
was using it to diagnose issues. I can also view entries in the old

Pretty much the same. I installed Jessie from the testing CD image

Greetings,
I'm running Xfce 4.10 on Jessie. After booting, I log into the console
with my user account, start my network interface, then run "startx" to
run Xfce. When I select the "Logout" menu option, I get prompted with a
list of choices (Logout, Reboot, Shutdown), none of which seem to do

Hi list,
I use LXDE on my Jessie laptop. I chose this desktop environment
because I don't want a lot of "stuff" on my system. Everything there is
essentially installed by me. I have Iceweasel, Claws-Mail, another GUI
program or two, but that's it. Everything else, I do in a terminal. I

Hi list,
I have a VPS with a company. The image I initially chose was Debian
Wheezy. I immediately upgraded to Jessie. I updated the kernel and
rebooted. However, it seems I can't use iptables:

Hi list,
I updated my apt repo and there was a kernel update. I ran the update,
and received an error claiming "no space left on device." Normally, I
would do a force-uninstall for the currently running kernel (freeing
space), then install the new kernel and reboot. However, this is an
update, not

Hi list,
I'm running Debian Jessie AMD64. I'm using RRDTool to create graphs of
my network activity. Do the byte counters in the `ifconfig` output
overflow? I imagine they have to at some point. What's the value at
which they overflow? Is it 2^64 bytes?
Also, is there a "better" way to access thi

Hi,
I found the Debian Mozilla team webpage[1], which tells you how to get
a more recent version of iceweasel. I am running testing/jessie, and
want the release version of Iceweasel. Thus, I added the two
corresponding lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list. When I synced the
package index in apt, I su
Hi guys,
I have a debian laptop running jessie using the iwlwifi driver. I can
connect to WPA2-PSK networks just fine. However, my campus has a
wireless network that uses WPA-EAP/PEAP authentication. I have read
the Debian wiki page[1] on the subject and it claims I need to provide
a certificate.
