Installing Debian on my laptop

I have a old Toshiba laptop with broken a cd player and no other possiblilites to boot an install but the net. I'll make a note later on the netboot server install.

After installing I got an error:

(II)LoadModule "kbd"
(WW)Warning couldn't open module kdb
(II)UnloadModule "kdb"
(EE)Failed to load module "kdb" (module does not exist, 0)
(II)LoadModule "mouse"
(WW)Warning couldn't open module mouse
(II)UnloadModule "mouse"
(EE)Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)

2 packages were missing:

apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-video-all

I'll make a list of the other installed packages later

Making and restoring dump file of a database

Here is a memo for the mysqldump command:

  • Making a dump file (b.sql is the file name you want to have for the dump file):
...>mysqldump -hHostAddress -uUserName -pUserPsswd dbName > b.sql;
  • To restore the data go to the directory where b.sql is stored and:
...>mysqldump -hHostAddress -uUserName -pUserPsswd dbName < b.sql;

Customize Live messenger

If like me you are forced to use Live messenger on a machine and you are pissed with the crapy GUI advertisement that gives headache... There's a patch that can make thing just a little bit better even if it's still no that...

Remove Windows informer

To get rid of the informer, go to Start > Run > cmd. Then write: "regsvr32.exe -u c:\windows\system32\regwizc.dll". Validate.
If everything went well, a message box says: "DllUnregisterServer in c:\windows\system32\regwizc.dll succeed". Finally, click OK.

Uninstall Windows Messenger

If you don't have use of Messenger, better remove it, this will free small amount of memory. However, this is not possible via Add or Remove Windows Components. Here we go:

  • Start > Run...
  • Type: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Voila!

Re-installing XP without re-activating it

When you re-install Windows XP after formating, you are forced to re-activate it as the first time. To avoid this, before formating, find the file "wpa.dbl" in C:\windows\sytem32. Then copy it on a floppy disk, CD or even a different partition. After formating, restore it at the same place then reboot.
