Totally Upset, Cant Get Hulu To Play In Debian.

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.

Seeks Search Engine - How To Install And Use

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.

Installing Linux Alongside Windows 8 (For Now) Question

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!

Command Line IP Printing

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

What's With Debian

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.

Blindly Installing *nix For An Amateur

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.

No System Sound Setting On Debian With Xfce Desktop

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?

Samba4 Vs OpenLDAP Vs FreeIPA - What's The Best For Debian Network?

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?
