does anybody know where to find the iwlwifi-3168-24.ucode firmware file
ttl- 2017-02-01 09:46:05
?
kernello 2017-02-01 09:46:24
thank you, somiaj!
thrmo 2017-02-01 09:46:43
when is the testing branch freeze happening?
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:46:52
ttl-: there is a newer firmware-iwlwifi package in jessie-backports, but this seems to be missing some of the newest firmware, in that case you can get it directly form intel
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:47:06
thrmo: it has been happening, final part of the freeze is feb. 5th
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:47:20
thrmo: transition freeze happend about 2 months ago, and soft freeze (no new packages) happened jan. 5th.

And the full freeze is in a few days.
ttl- 2017-02-01 09:47:53
somiaj: thanks but i don't find it from intel
thrmo 2017-02-01 09:48:15
greycat, how long from full freeze to release (in general)?
greycat 2017-02-01 09:48:24
Your guess is as good as anyone's!

ttl-: I know that somewhere around -22, -23 or -24 debian isnt' providing them, so you have to ge tthem from intel, and I don't know the links, you'll hvae to keep searchign intels pages.

thrmo: it varries, I like to think 6 months give or take 2 months. the longest time was about a year, but the release team did not like that, and now has an agressive policy. 2months would be ideal, 6 months may be long compared to what jessie took.
thrmo 2017-02-01 09:51:04
thanks somiaj!
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:51:35
thrmo: usually the annoucment i sonly about a week or so before, you can follow https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ if you like

Hi, does anyone happen to have any experience with installing debian on systems with SCSI/SAS controllers? In the "partitioning" section of the installer, I only see the USB drive as an option, `fdisk -l` shows all 16 disks
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:57:09
vista: using normal or expert install?
vista 2017-02-01 09:57:15
normal
somiaj 2017-02-01 09:57:45
vista: try expert, there is a phase in the expert it asks about installing additional software to the installer (udebs) that may be useful in seeing more complicated setups
vista 2017-02-01 09:58:12
thanks for the tip

Hi, I am trying to install gnumeric under Jessie but I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/23907231/

TomTomTo1 2017-02-01 10:09:38
you need to fix your sources.list
TomTomTo1 2017-02-01 10:09:43
!jessie sources.list
dpkg 2017-02-01 10:09:43
A suitable /etc/apt/sources.list for Debian 8 "Jessie" has three lines: "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main" "deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main" "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main". Be sure to run «aptitude update» after editing sources.list. Also see and "man sources.list".
vista 2017-02-01 10:19:16
still not seeing any disks in the installer, have a server with a SAS controller
vista 2017-02-01 10:19:59
I was able to repartition manually using fdisk, but the installer still does not give me the option to install to that
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:21:18
vista: might want to do a manuall install with debootstrap then, I don't know the hardware so no other avice
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:21:27
vista: wait, are you botting efi or legacy?
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:22:19
vista: if booting efi you must use gtp partitions and fdisk only deals wtih mbr partition tables, so unsure if that will cause an issue.
john_rambo 2017-02-01 10:25:45
TomTomTo1, I am really confused ...Can u share your sources.list ?
greycat 2017-02-01 10:26:17
The bot gave us all the standard one.

The use of an ubuntu.com paste site is somewhat concerning.

I'm getting "The following pacakges have been kept back: openjdk-8-jre-headless" This is even with apt-get dist-upgrade. What am I missing?

(debian jessie)
abrotman 2017-02-01 10:40:09
wedgie: aptitude install openjdk-8-jre-headless
abrotman 2017-02-01 10:40:12
what does it say?
wedgie 2017-02-01 10:41:40
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wedgie 2017-02-01 10:41:40
openjdk-8-jre-headless : Breaks: ca-certificates-java (< 20160321~) but 20140324 is installed.
wedgie 2017-02-01 10:41:57
wants to remove ca-certificates-java and openjdk-8-jre-headless
greycat 2017-02-01 10:41:58
,v ca-certificates-java

greycat 2017-02-01 10:42:52
Oh, unfortunately he didn't give us a version number of that one.
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:43:14
it is a jessie-backports package so there are pinning issues, but it should be upgraded if it has already been installed from jessie backports
greycat 2017-02-01 10:43:34
Sounds like manually upgrading ca-certificates-java first might be in order.
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:43:45
wonder if it was some local install package confusing apt that it should be upgraded from jessie-backports
somiaj 2017-02-01 10:44:32
nevermind that last statement, apt wouldn't think it would need to upgraded in that case, so yea maybe it now requires a new dependency from jessie-backports that was not installed and won't be without manual intervertion.
wedgie 2017-02-01 10:44:49
don't think there any locally installed packages. java8 from backports, plus elastic stack stuff from the elastic.co repos
