1. Assignment: Install a debian ssh server on a VirtualBox and access to it
config apt-cacher 192.168.10.1 port 3128
sed -i 's#http://#http://192.168.10.1:3142/#g' /etc/apt/sources.list
install emacs
sudo aptitude install emacs
install config openssh server and make it work
eval `ssh-agent` exec ssh-agent bash (if ssh-add is not working)
add sam_sshkey.pub to .ssh/authorized_keys
add to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
AllowUsers xxx
changed in the same file:
PasswordAuthentication no PermitRootLogin no
If ssh doesn't work check the grp and own of .ssh/authorized_keys
install bash completion
aptitude install bash-completion
add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then . /etc/bash_completion fi
Document the work done
Well, that's kind of done but the editing interface of the wiki is not yet clear to me. Few shortcut:
- create a code box:
{code 'Enter'
- heading
'ctrl' AND '1' XOR '2' XOR '3'
- bullet list
'shift' AND 'ctrl' AND 'b'
- bold, underline, italic
'ctrl' AND 'b' 'ctrl' AND 'u' 'ctrl' AND 'i'
- save
'ctrl' AND 's'
Problems encountered after installation of debian
On start and halt
PROBLEM:
exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken
SOLUTION:
rm /var/log/exim4/paniclog
need to start the network manually dhclient eth0
PROBLEM: when auto eth0 added to interfaces. Nfs interfaces gets stuck on boot.
SOLUTION: there was no 'auto lo' in /etc/network/interfaces. That added plus 'auto eth0' makes it work.
2. Assignement: Install a graphic interface on Debian installation
Install Debian with nothing else than the minimum (except for laptop)
Install XOrg
apt-get install xorg
Install Gnome
apt-get install gnome-core
to test the installation:
starx
change the resolution
CTRL + ALT + '+' and CTRL + ALT + '-'
screen the available resolution and change it
xrandr -q wrands -s resolution
Install a display manager
apt-get install gdm
to start it
gdm
Install proprietary graphic card drivers:
If the kernel isn't compiled you need to install the kernel headers.
Check the kernel version
uname -r
Install the kernel header and link it to the linux file
apt-get install linux-header-... rm /usr/src/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux-header-... /usr/src/linux
Install the compilers
apt-get install gcc g++
For the nvidia cards
Download the latest drivers from the nvidia website.
Stop gdm (might need a kill)
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
Install the driver
sh NVIDIA...
Don't download the kernel interface. Ask for a compilation of a new interface. Start xconfig ans restart gdm
nvidia-xconfig /etc/init.d/gdm restart
To remove the logo in xorg.conf
Option "NoLogo" "1"
