Debian Query

[nach]

Hi
I downloaded 3 dvd version of Debian from here *cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/i386/iso-dvd/

But while installation it didnt asked for 2nd and 3rd dvd.

Now when I want to install packages from these dvds, how shall I proceed with that .
As I try thrugh apt it doesnt get connection with dvds.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

add those DVDs as sources under apt in your sources.list.

 

[mehulved]

Insert the DVD in the drive and type the following in the terminal.

apt-cdrom add

 

[nach]

add those DVDs as sources under apt in your sources.list.

For first dvd entry was done so accordingly I added 2nd and 3 rd also added few ftps
but it didnt worked.

Now let me try as Mehul said.

What mehul said would do the same thing I said, but automatically.
And you need to uncomment the line.

And insert each Disc, and do an apt-get update. Do this for all 3 discs.

Then to install from a disc, first comment the lines for other repos, then insert the disc and proceed with normal apt-get install my-bathroom-singer-software

Ok now the problem is I am able 2 ping sites but cannot surf in browser.
Its taking proper ip adress through dhcp as well as dns

You have a proxy configuration set?
What's the output of

ping www.yoursite.com

and

dig www.yoursite.com

and add this too

tracepath www.yoursite.com

Also

ifconfig

lol. by yoursite.com, I meant any site you like. Seems things are just fine. What browser are you using? Have you set proxy settings in the browser, by any chance? Is network-manager disabled?

 

[nach]

since site was der with yoursite.com I pinged

I tried epiphany as well as Iceweasal.
Proxy settings are not required as it has direct connection to internet though adsl.

how will I come to know about network manger enabled/disabled ?
Also service command doesnt work here which works in fedora system
so how can I restart particular service ?

 

[mehulved]

/etc/init.d/servicename restart

 

[nach]

yup thnx mehul
my issue resolved when i removed 192.168.1.1 & inserted mtnls dnsserver 203.94.227.70 as a nameserver entry.

1.Now I want to configure configuration management utilities.Is there any default utility available or which is recommended ?

2.I installed postgresql 8.1 and even started service.
But i cant see any icon or GUI utility as those who are going 2 use this machine are complete unaware about GNU/Linux

 

[mehulved]

For 2 there's phppgadmin
Can you explain configuration management utilities?

 

[nach]

ok.
Regarding configl mangaement utilities even I dont know much but few examples are tortoise,cbs.

 

[mehulved]

Can you give me the url for those? I didn't get anything for CBS, for tortoise I get tortoise-svn. So, do you mean source code management or version control system by config management utilities? Then you have subversion, cvs, git, bazaar and more. I dunno much about these and which would suit you the best and I doubt if any of the regulars here know about it.

 

[nach]

Yeah Finally Postgresql-8.3.3 & pgadmin3 1.4configured on Debian etch.
HP laserjet automatically connected !!!
apt-get really really makes life easier.

yeah those u listed above are the utilities I was looking for.(Sorry its not cbs its cvs)
I think cvs was installed by default.Now tht only needs to be configured.
I dont have any idea regarding these utilities.But googling cvs & git found some info on how to setup/configure & there frontend utilities.

I will let you know when I will try to configure on this weekend.

thnx

 

[mehulved]

Try subversion rather than cvs. git makes more sense when your repos are distributed.
Here's the guide for SVN - *svnbook.red-bean.com/en
