Is there an easy way of cloning entire installed debian/ubuntu system? I want to have identical installation in terms of installed packages and as much as possible of settings. I've looked into options of aptitude, apt-get, synaptic but have found nothing. ...
I'm trying to upgrade my subversion server (I have it hosted with Dreamhost) This is what I run: wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2 wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2 tar -xjf subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2 tar -xjf subversion-deps-1.5.2.tar.bz2 cd subversion-1.5.2 ./c...
I recently downloaded the source tarball for a GTK application that I'd like to improve. It uses the standard ./configure and make build sequence. The first time through, configure reported a bunch of unmet build dependencies, such as libgnomeui-2.0. As I usually do, I had to manually go through and find the Debian *-dev package names...
Hi, I am trying to use timerfd_create and timerfd_settime under Debian Linux lenny. The manpage says to include <sys/timerfd.h>. This file cannot be located on my System. According to the Debian Package Search the only packages with a timerfd.h are the linux-headers-* packets. I have installed the packets linux-headers-2.6.26-1-amd64 ...
Background: I have a kubuntu laptop right now that I can't use wirelessly, i.e. I haven't got wireless assistant installed. But I have a windows laptop that I can download the debian packages seperately on a USB memory stick. How do I install a debian package on the computer locally? ...
I've been trying to build subversion (on a limited account) for a long time but without any luck :( The instructions I'm following: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Subversion_Installation Running this: ./configure --prefix=${RUN} --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl --with-zlib --enable-shared Gives me this error: checking for library contai...
Been trying to upgrade my subversion installation, but due to (what I believe) are limited rights (I'm using hosted Linux account), I'm not able to properly "./configure" and compile the source code (see posts Post1 and Post2 if very interested) So, I'm thinking if I could just download pre-compiled binaries, the just might solve my pro...
I know that sounds a weird request. But I was installing a bunch of packages in Ubuntu yesterday, using apt-get and I started wondering if anyone had adapted it or produced anything similar for Windows. What I mean is a) an package manager / installer for Windows. And b) a repository of free-software packages in a compatible format. ...
I have configured a simple LAMP stack on Debian and I am experiencing some problems with the Apache web server. Each 3-4 hours the web server is entering a deadlock and all the requests that hit the database block. The server is creating a new child for each request. The number of processes increases very quickly. After a few seconds M...
I'm talking about testing a package that you're building, especially one that spawns a daemon and/or fiddles with init.d. Do you log into some sort of chroot? Do you create a virtualized distribution and tear it down? How do you test your runtime dependencies and test suite without fouling up your dev machine for the next time you run y...
Somebody used libapt or libept to list packages and get informations about package in a debian-like system? Libapt is not well-documented at all, and i've found few examples and tutorials about libept.

Simple question: I have loaded an Apt package record with libept. There is a method to get file list? It should sound like record.GetFileList(); and it should return a vector string like the output of dpkg -L packagename ...
I have two unix partitions under debian which I would like to merge (disk space problems :/). What would be the easiest way to do it? I think it would be best to tar or copy files from one partition to the other, delete one and resize the other. I will use parted to resize but how should I copy the files? There are links, permissions and...
I had a typo in my fstab and it boots to a commandline but is readonly, I know what the error is but i can't change it because it's mounted as readonly. I want to mount the filesystem and make the changes. I know I can boot a live distro and edit it that way, but i was wondering if there was an easier way to do it. It's debian lenny by ...

I have been hacking around on UNIX servers for a while now, I love Debian, its a great server OS. But I feel like I don't really grasp the entire system and overall environment of UNIX.

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to find a list of packages installed, sorted by date, when using aptitude (or apt-get)? I was installing a bunch of packages to try something new, and it didn't work out. I'd like to remove all of these packages, to get back some disk space. I've tried just looking at the list of .deb files down...
