I have a computer without a NIC, and I want to install some programs in it via USB memory, but how can I download a program from apt-get without installing it?

How to upgrade glibc from version 2.13 to 2.15 on Debian?

I heard I can do it using apt-get install libc6, but I need to add something to /etc/apt/sources.list to receive the newest glibc version. What should I do?

How to trust a apt repository : Debian apt-get update error public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY [closed]

Trying to update some repositories on Debian Etch installation and getting the following errors from running "apt-get update"

W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because teh public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

The irony of it instructing me to run apt-get update is a nice kicker...

How to check the version before install packages using apt-get

I'm thinking to install hylafax+ version 5.5.4 which was release last month on my Debian PC.

I checked dpkg -l | grep "hylafax" and found out that the current version is 5.5.3. Then I checked apt-cache search hylafax and saw the packages are available, but I can't see any version number.

How can I find the version of packages available in the apt-get?

How to get file creation date/time in Bash/Debian?

I'm using Bash on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0. Is it possible to get the file creation date/time? Not the modification date/time. ls -lh a.txt and stat -c %y a.txt both only give the modification time.

How to build a Debian/Ubuntu package from source?

I have the source of a program (taken from cvs/svn/git/...) and I'd like to build a Debian/Ubuntu package for it. The package is present in the repositories, but:

• It is an older version (lacking features I need)
• I need slightly different compile options than the default.

What is the easiest way of doing it? I am concerned about a couple of things

• How can I check if I have listed all the dependencies correctly? (I can get some hints by looking on what the older version depended, but new dependencies may have been added.)
• How I can I prevent the update system installing the older version in the repo on an update?
• How I can prevent the system installing a newer version (when its out), overwriting my custom package?

bash script always prints "Command Not Found"

Every time I run a script using bash scriptname.sh from the command line in Debian, I get Command Not found and then the result of the script. So the script works but there is always a Command Not Found statement printed on screen.

I am running the script from the /var folder.

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash

echo Hello World

I run it by typing the following:

bash testscript.sh

UPDATE - the problem appears to the blank lines. Each blank line is resulting in a command not found. Why would this occur?

How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

So far I've tried the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove

But whenever I try to locate MySQL using the following command, I get a list of files related to MySQL:

shell>> locate mysql

Output:

I need it for Qt connectivity.

Installing node.js on Debian 6.0

So well, I have a vserver with Debian 6.0.

Now I would like to install Node.js, but none of the tutorials on the web seem to work. I have tried all of the results google gives me when I enter "install node.js on linux" I mostly failed because I had no idea how to install the dependencies (I'm new to linux btw)

How to install node.js on a Debian system that was just setup (so no programs already installed on it and such)?

Where are sudo incidents reported? [closed]

Attempting something devious on my machine leads to

ryan@debian:~$ sudo EAT_ALL_THE_COOKIES_BEFORE_DINNER
[sudo] password for ryan: 
ryan is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

Where is this incident reported, and how do I get the log of all the nasty attempted commands?

CUDA incompatible with my gcc version

I have troubles compiling some of the examples shipped with CUDA SDK. I have installed the developers driver (version 270.41.19) and the CUDA toolkit, then finally the SDK (both the 4.0.17 version).

Initially it didn't compile at all giving:

error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc 4.5 and up are not supported!

I found the line responsible in 81:/usr/local/cuda/include/host_config.h and changed it to:

//#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ > 4)
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ > 6)

from that point on I got only a few of the examples to compile, it stops with:

In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.6/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/gthr.h:162:0,
             from /usr/include/c++/4.6/ext/atomicity.h:34,

`pthread_create' instead.  */" does not give a valid preprocessing token
make[1]: *** [obj/x86_64/release/lineOfSight.cu.o] Error 1

As some of the examples compile I reckon this is not a driver problem, but rather must have something to do with an unsupported gcc version. Downgrading is not an option as gcc4.6 has a whole system as a dependency at this point...
