I used to get hulu, but the flashplyer will not work.
Anyways I had windows to offset the problem & now the sheeite has a virus that has changed all of the browsers to open as chromium & some kind of trivoli search engine that only goes to adds. I dont expect a resolution as I'm just venting.
But I would like to know how to get hulu running on my debian system.
hi guys,
im new here and new to linux, im currently running windows 8.1 but ive heard that linux is better than windows, and i want to drop windows forever, ive been using windows my entire life, it worked well enough but now windows 8.1 sucks and i want to use linux, its free and awesome.
im running debian wheezy 7.8 on a virtual machine i want to get to know it in the virtual machine and eventually move over to debian entirerly.
i was wondering if you guys knew some places where i could educate myself about debian and how it works?
i cant seems to play videos on debian, how can i into videos?
I have come across the Seeks search engine which is based on the AGPLv3 licence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeks
It seems like it's a free software/open source search engine.
I thought I could install it as a plugin on a web browser. However, it seems it's a bit more complicated than that.
I haven't had much luck finding out more on the net and there's nothing on Youtube.
Does anyone know anything about this search engine and how to use it?
Thank you in advance.
Good day everyone,
I'm currently a student and as far as I'm aware I still need windows for some program I need, but I am going over to Linux.
(Thus I'm running Windows 8 at this moment)
Today I was going to install Ubuntu 14.04.01 alongside Windows 8, everything went well till I hit the 4th step (Installation type page) of the installation:
A message like follows showed:
"This computer currently has Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) on it. What would you like to do?"
There are then 3 options available:
1) Install Ubuntu alongside Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7)
2) Replace Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) with Ubuntu
3 and 4 is greyed out.
5) Something else (You can create resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu.
I just want to make sure what option to choose, I cant afford to lose all my data and windows.
Problem: Showing Kali Linux as current OS and not Windows 8.
Possible reason for showing Kali Linux as current OS:
I have a live CD of Kali Linux and ran it a few times in the past, but according to my knowledge it shouldn't have changed anything.
Maybe the 1st option is still the right one even though the current OS isn't listed right? Or the 3rd option is like a manual setting I guess.
Thanks for the time reading and helping!
Hi Forum,
I have a network printer (HP) running on 192.168.85.24 and I wish to install something that enables me to just shoot pdf och ps files directly to it from the command line, however, it has been hard finding something that describes how to make a bare bones setup like that, the most info I find talk about user interfaces, clicking menues opening web browsers etc, I want things incredibly simple, then they are more robust.
Do you have a tutorial on how to just get an HP-printer to accept ps och or pdf files from the command line?
I run Debian with LXDE and have contact with the printer. (I tested with ping.)
Another question I have is for this forum, do you have a search function? If I had had a search function I would have searched for an answer to the question before posting it.
Kind regards
Johnny
I just read that in 2013 nasa stopped using windows and moved to linux quoting the need for a more stable ssystem with better security. They also said that they were using debian.
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/1...ed-reliability
They also use lenova thinkpads for the same reasons.
My question is, what is the functionality difference with debian? Is it more stable than other distributions? If ubuntu is Debian based, what is the difference?
I'm currently using ubuntu studio Distro and very happy with it but I'm very interested in the reasons why nasa use Debian.
Hello, my video card "Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar PRO [Radeon HD 5450/6350]"
create something which can be seen with dmesg "drm: registered panic notifier".
Should I install the fglrx driver instead of keeping the open source radeon as per current install?
I have antix which is a debian wheezy based system https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary# ... 2Wheezy.22
Thanks for any advice before I do it.
I previously installed kdenlive in previous Debian versions with the suggested command:
apt-get install kdenlive frei0r-plugins dvgrab recordmydesktop dvdauthor genisoimage
but it gives error messages in debian 8 saying packages not available
maybe my sources.list is wrong?

My knowledge & even potential are not very good, to be honest. I have Debian running as a server at home. I rent a dedicated server (wicked cheap) for backup & web experimenting (it too runs Debian). Having said that, I am trying to install Debian on a different system which I hope to be my new home server.
It is a Dell Inspiron 2020 AIO. I just have the motherboard & internal components. I have no LCD connector or screen. It has no video-out capability (no VGA/DVI/DP/etc). Obviously, I can not see anything when it boots. It has two SATA ports on the motherboard. I do not know if it supports booting over USB (I assume it does). PXE, I do not know.
Is there a project somewhere that offers ISOs (or SIMPLE scripts/configs/etc to make your own). I would love an automagic ISO that will do:
1. base/headless installation of Debian x64
2. any repository (Georgia Tech would be great)
3. Automatic partitioning (one for / and one for Swap, at 2x RAM (8GB partition))
4. root/toor preconfigured
5. Open-ssh, so that I can actually finally "see" what I am doing.
Is there a mouse-jockey idiot way that I can do this without being able to see anything?
I have found info on FAI & various install wrappers. They are immensely complicated to someone like me. I was wondering if there exists a simple solution. Perhaps a project I can not find through websearching?
It does not have to be Debian. I am just more accustomed to Debian. I have played with Slackware, Arch, Centos, Red Hat, Fedora, Suse, TinyCoreLinux, PuppyOS, DSL, Knoppix, FreeBSD, NetBSD, PC-BSD, OpenBSD, and more.

I have installed a new Debian OS to try out the xfce desktop.
My radeon hdmi sound card needs non-free drivers and so I have no sound.
On my previous debian install with gnome desktop, I found a number of changes I had to make to get the sound working.
I have done all this with this new install with xfce.
However, one thing I haven't done yet is to change the System settings-Sound settings to use the hdmi sound card.
The problem is the xfce desktop doesn't have an icon for sound settings under System settings.
This is a bit weird. So I'm wondering if xfce has installed correctly or if it's missing a package so the System sound settings will show up.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Hello, I want to deploy some AD-like login and user management. All devices in network use Linux (Debian, 5-10 workstations).
The first idea is to use Samba4 because everyone is talking about how it is AD-compliant, but I think it's not needed, because there's no windows workstations, and it gives additional windows-specific tools and protocols like netbios, etc.
Next thought is, that FreeIPA is good idea, but I don't see it in Debian's repos (only sid).
I could try to install it from sid, but I'm afraid it's not stable and production ready. I see it stable only in RedHat family (centos/fedora).
What is more, freeipa-client is not even in jessie's repo. I heard about sssd as a client in Debian for FreeIPA.
The last idea is to use OpenLDAP. I'm sure it's supported by Debian very well, but I'm afraid of lack of integration with other tools like kerberos, etc. I've got ntp, dns, dhcp, some file sharing, etc. done right now without ldap, so I don't really need all that additional stuff.
Is using Centos/Fedora is only way to have FreeIPA?
Is it possible and supported to use Debian as client of FreeIPA?
Do you have any advice on the best way to do this?
