Debian : 7.6.0 : x86_84 : installs cleanly but fails to boot
by Mayuresh Kathe 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello, I have an HP AiO 18 which runs Ubuntu 14.10 successfully. It is my first attempt at Debian 7.6.0 under my x86_64 machine. While the install process went well, the first boot just doesn't happen. The boot-up menu is shown and when I select the first item; Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64, the screen just blanks out. There are no boot messages, nothing. The num-lock indicator lights up and then goes out. After waiting a while, I tried the caps-lock key, it's responsive by way of the indicator going on and off. On hitting ctrl+alt+del the system just reboots without going through the usual system shutdown sequence. Any ideas about how I could resolve this? Thanks, ~Mayuresh

Fwd: World Toilet Day and Free Software
by Vikram Vincent 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vikram Vincent <vincentvikram(a)gmail.com> Greetings on the occasion of World Toilet Day! You might be wondering as to what the relationship between the two is :) http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/world-toilet-day-2014-lack-sanitation-leaves-women… While there is no direct correlation, I would suggest that people who are interested can use this occasion to use OpenStreetMap and map out the location of toilets in your vicinity. Also map out whether there are toilets for women and how hygienic they are. While it is good to go on the streets with brooms and clean the place it is more important to provide a sewage system where none exists and improve the ones which do exist. So please help out with a small part. Thanks -- Vikram Vincent
