Comment on Debian Lenny on an ASUS Eee PC 1005HA by fishbowl

It has been a wile since I did this but I will try to help if I can.

Let me see if I understand you . .

I take it this happened after installing the system and then installed the deb packages from robotalk and still nothing?

are you trying to install Debian Lenny (stable)? or Debian Squeeze (testing)?

You are using Robtalk’s 2.6.32 kernel or the 2.6.31 kernels I linked to?

I have the same hardware and am following your instructions to install Debian. Your instructions are very succinct. However, when my system boots up, it does not find any network interface. There is no eth0 or eth1. I did install the latest image from Robertalks website. I will try once again this evening and hopefully your instructions will work.

Fetching a recent Flash Player can be achieved fairly easier and more automatical by using flashplugin-nonfree and afterwards calling “/usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree –install” from time to time.

I think, when creating a package from the firefox source then acquiring flash via package is also a candidate…

Comment on Upgrade Debian Lenny to Squeeze by fishbowl

Both back-ports and Debian multimedia have 4.6.1 in there repose this is true, the unfortunate thing, is when I did it there where unmet dependence issues on both repose. what i did was I ended up using aptitude in-place of atp-get because it has some nifty ways around dependency issues. You could give aptitude -t lenny-backports install xfce4 a try – and it should give you some options for resolving dependencies by substituting some of the lower version packages when necessary. When i click the about XFCE in the meno it says i have 4.6.0, but I know for a fact most of the components are actually 4.6.1. It was a little complicated, but now I have it running there haven’t been any problems. Maybe this will help.

I tried squeeze out for a few weeks, but kept running into minor issues that irritated me (which I can’t remember right now). So I tested a few other bistros and came back to Debian Lenny. Currently I am running a mixture of XFCE 4.6.0 and 4.6.1 from two different repose and haven’t had any issues. I will try squeeze again probably, when it goes into deep freeze near the end of this year or beginning of next. As for Firefox I just use the binaries from Mozilla.

So you are running Squeeze on your everyday machine now, or did you just check out a test-installation?

Looks like I have to rethink my philosophy. I really thought, I can keep my systems consistent on Lenny for the time being, but as it seems, that just does not work out. I guess I leave Lenny just for server use, but go for Squeeze on the workstation / laptop / netbook, since I really want the latest Xfce and Firefox/Iceweasel. Mixing with not really up-to-date 3rd-party-repos (like desktop-multimedia.org with Xfce 4.6.0 instead of 4.6.1) may be worse then going for Squeeze.

Quite some time has passed, but there is still no update to Xfce 4.6.1 on debian-desktop.org

There has been some movement in lenny-backports, but unfortunately the whole Xfce 4.6.1 is there only for amd64, but not for i386.

I thought, I have read about how to get 4.6.1 on Lenny i386, but I could not find it any more.

Do you still have 4.6.0 in use on your installation?

Unless I find a way, I guess it either means installing from testing, or doing a Squeeze installation.

I see that you took down the deb, so your links don’t work anymore.

Pity. In the interim, people looking for Firefox 64bit can download it (pre-compiled) from the Mozilla dailies site (though it isn’t the nice stable version) http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
