/etc/apt/sources.list -- Lenny

Now that Lenny has been archived, you will need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It should now look like this:

CODE: SELECT ALL

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian lenny main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security lenny/updates main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb http://archive.debian.org/backports.org lenny-backports main

That'll keep you going for a few more years! . 

My Little Raspberry Pi

I just received my tiny Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/). An ARM/Linux box for embedded linux projects for just 25$. Some projects to work on:

• owwnogui (http://oww.sourceforge.net)
• mini DLNA (http://www.senab.co.uk/2012/06/09/raspberry-pi-media-server-pt-1/)
• 3G Wifi Router

The Raspberry Pi® is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The design is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 256 megabytes of RAM. The design does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage. The Foundation plans to support Fedora Linux as the initial system software package/distribution, with support for Debian and Arch Linux as well -Wikipedia.

Debian - Free up some disk space

Just recently, I ran out of disk space and the lcd panel stopped working. The OWWUPDATE couldn't be updated and it was always null. How do you avoid this problem? 

clean up log files
rm /var/log/*.gz
rm /var/log/*.old
rm /var/log/*.1
rm /var/log/*.2

clear the apt-get cache. The apt's cache is never cleaned out. Apt caches all the .deb files and that can quickly eat your disc space. To clear it:

apt-get clean

SIOCDELRT: No such process - SOLVED

first off you need to edit your /etc/hosts file * use vi

Code:

vi /etc/hosts

add your ip address and your name at line three

Code:

127.0.0.1    localhost    linux
#127.0.1.1    linux.WorkGroup    linux
192.168.20.20    voyage # <------ add your ip and name 

then restart your network and the error is fixed, the edited /etc/host file is also need for the static changes you made
