I have installed debian 6 along with my windows 7.

From cd one I have installed the debian. After reboot I got entered into command line.

As I searched solution for this in internet I got the way to go to aptitude and then task then end user and hence I installed gnome.

But right now I am having problem in copy paste. in terminal I am unable to paste copied text. please help..

Also help me in editing sources.list file in order to install VLC player...


My debian is not detecting blutooth. Please help

In a terminal as root type in

that will open an editable copy of your sources.list that you can copy and past into.

Not sure about the copy and paste sorry.

With Bluetooth if you installed from CD1 and not DVD1 you may not have the bluetooth packages installed. Open Synaptic and search for bluetooth, gnomebluetooth, and bluez, install them reboot and see how you go.

I dont have synaptic.

please tell me via command line

apt-get install synaptic
or
aptitude install synaptic

Things will be easier for you if you look here:

To copy and paste in a terminal emulator, use middle click or the right click context menus. If you are trying to use the windows style CTRL+X/C/V don't bother as these almost always do not function the same.

From gedit, kate, mousepad or similar editors CTRL+X/C/V should work windows style. If they don't it may be because the file is locked due to insufficient permissions (not really sure about this as I hardly use gui text editors). If you're attempting to edit a file like the sources.list, then you will need to have root privileges.

even I tried this trick, I right click in terminal and select paste but still it didn't work ...

Dear Randicus Draco Albus When I tried your trick the following message was shown...

Can you help ?

Try his other suggestion.
EDIT: rereading this again says to me there is something wrong. I would have thought you would have synaptic even on a CD install. The other thing I would asl you to do is post your sources list please so we can see what you have in it. If it is just the cd then unless you have the CD in the drive you wont get anything.

I do not know if Synaptic is on CD1, but when I installed from the DVD, it was not included in the installation. I had to add it later.

@Piyush M
I am in agreement with k3lt01 about posting your sources list. When I saw No candidate version found, the first thing that came to my mind was, Where is he trying to download from? Are you installing packages from discs or from the internet? The file k3lt01 mentioned is /etc/apt/sources.list. It will look something like this:
The contents of yours may be a little different.

I keep an up to date DVD1 using jigdo and it is on mine in a Gnome install, I don't know about other DEs but certainly Gnome has it.

Nonetheless I think the sources.list is probably the issue. Sorry for not posting its location it slipped my mind, I'm trying to finish 3 uni assignments in the next 10 days and study for an exam 2 days after that.

I am having dial up connection right now.

From CD 1 I have installed debian.

I was having Windows 7 installed primarily. There was C, D, & E drives on my windows 7. I installd debian on drive D and it is invisible now when I boot into windows 7.

Right now I am unable to install any software like VLC & CHROME through terminal.

And you will probably never be able to see it. I have never dual-booted with Windows, but I am sure Windows cannot read anything that is not Microsoft. You need to boot into either Debian or Windows. If you cannot boot into Debian (no choice of OS during boot), you probably neglected to install the boot-loader (GRUB), during installation. If that is the case, I do not want to give bad advice. You will need to wait for someone more knowledgeable or read the documentation on Debian's website.

You need to post your sources.list
