after apt-get update...

**xaviers2002** · 07-20-2004, 06:05 PM

I have runned APT-GET UPDATE for a root shell, downloaded all the files, install them. After this, i went for APT-GET -U UPGRADE again for a root shell, donwloaded all the files, install them.
Well, after this my box is incredible slow!!! Did I do something wrong? Is this normal? I mean, it is really slow, reboot, login, opening and closing programs, internet...
Are updates really necessary? Because if not, I will stick with the basic!
Thank You.

PS. Also, APT-GET -U DIST-UPGRADE after that.

I think I know what you mean, if you were upgrading from the knoppix install, and replaced the x-window system with the newer version in Debian, then you need to replace the /etc/kde3/xserver script with the debian version. The knoppix script pointed to the huge x file located slightly different than the x file that the debian script pointed to.

If you haven't purged any services they all got added to the runlevels and started when the packages were upgraded. Don't ask me why it is so, I simply don't understand the reason.
The easiest way is to do cd /etc/rc5.d and do ll and check for todays dates,
those probably got added and you can do update-rc.d -f servicename remove to stop them from starting at boot.
To just stop them do /etc/init.d/servicename stop
Post here the output of ll if you don't know which services you can do without. The ones you know you won't need can be purged with apt.

I am completely new to linux: could You tell me how to do it?

Thanks

PS. On restart is really slow especially when it comes to: STARTING NIS SERVICES YPBIND [BINDING TO YP SERVER...!
Also: RUNNING NTPDATE TO SYNCHRONIZE CLOCK, takes long time!

Thanks again

For Markus:

What "purged" means?

Sorry I am completely new to linux.

**Markus** · 07-20-2004, 09:58 PM

For the ypbind problem do /etc/init.d/nis stop to stop the nis server.
To purge it means removing it and purging (removing) all configuration files for it with: apt-get --purge remove nis

Is this from a root shell?

Thank You.

Yes, or just open a normal shell, type su, and give the root password. When done ctrl-d exits/logouts.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
testdisk: Depends: libntfs5 (>= 1.9.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

This is what I got from APT-GET --PURGE REMOVE NIS.

Thank You.

Unpacking libntfs5 (from .../libntfs5_1.9.0-1_i386.deb) ...

This what I got from APT-GET -F INSTALL.

Thank You.
