System:
- Debian testing – “wheezy”
- Gnome 3.0+6
- Network Manager 0.9.2.0-1
Issue:
- WLAN works fine with NetworkManager
- Wired Device (ethX) is marked as “unmanaged” and doesn’t work even if it gets DHCP-lease/IP-address
- /etc/network/interfaces looks correct
Solution:
Change /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf :
...
[ifupdown]
managed=true
...
Reload Settings:
/etc/init.d/network-manager force-reload

Yesterday, I decided to kick my Ubuntu LTS from my Thinkpad T500 and give Debian with Gnome 3 a chance. I tried Ubuntu with Unity in spring and was shocked. Besides all the little Bugs which are excusable I don’t like the way it feels. With the next LTS, I probably will give it a second chance because I like Ubuntu.
But what’s about Gnome 3? Really deep changes were made. GTK, that is used, was raised to the next major version and fundamental changes took place in the control concept. These are just two reasons why development is still in a kind of beta status. I think Debian is a better platform for Gnome 3 at the moment than Ubuntu, because Ubuntu comes with several pre-configurations and pre-installations which might mess up working with software not adapted to it. Usually the Debian guys don’t take it too seriously with their release cycles and prefer stability to actuality.
Core:
Debian testing “wheezy” ( dist-upgrade from stable )
Gnome 3.0+6
Installation and configuration went way less direly than expected. All looks new, nice, and fancy and performs very good at first sight. Most of the new features make sense to me and the period of settling in was just a few hours. I don’t understand why they have “loan” so much look and feel from Apples’ MacOS, which they “loan” from others, but if it makes someone happy I’m too.
Things I like:
- All hardware works out of the box – THX Debian
- It seams all functionality approached a few clicks
- The new management of multiple Desktops
- Arrangement of (sub)menus and icons
- Window fit-in by dragging it to the edges of the screen
- The new calendar
- General behaviour and usage of modifier keys
- Stability (no crashes to that point)
- Performance
Things I don’t like (Bugs):
- Even more settings are hidden from the user than in Gnome 2 – common guys do you really think we’re all stupid morons ?!? - Session saving and properties only reachable through console(WTF?); Window themes/styles not changaeble (or didn’t find it by now) to have minimize and maximize buttons back…
- Fast command execution via Alt+F2 doesn’t find any applications – use gnome-do
- All my applets are gone ;( – heard the will reappear later
- No automount of USB-Devices because the system thinks the are CDs…should be an Debian issue…
- I wanted to make a fancy screenshot for you but “Execution of ‘gnome-screenshot’ failed: Command not found” appeared when in “overview mode”
My opinion is, if Gnome 3 matured a bit more and the next stable Debian will have it included, It could be most peoples desktop environment of choice.

Not so long ago we argued about programming languages and IDEs. As expected several worlds collide. So maybe there is no answer to the question what’s best, but I want to draw your attention to a nice IDE.
I needed a platform-independent and comfortable tool for programming. One would say “Use Eclipse” but my past with Java and Eclipse was bad. Or one would say “Use Emacs or Vim, stupid”, true but Linux tools on Windows mostly are pain in the ass. What I finally found was Code::Blocks, available for Linux, Windows and MAC. It’s a nice, fast and in my opinion mighty IDE for C and C++ (other languages via plugins). It needs a bit time to get familiar with it but there are very powerful features making this worthwhile. I don’t want to waste your time anny longer so try by your own.
Little hint: the version receivable from the last Ubuntu LTS is ooooold so download debs from the website.

After 2 hourse of googleing and reading outdated threads, I got it working and want you to save time.
- Install Apache2 and Python
- CGI-path is /usr/lib/cgi-bin so this is where to put your Python scripts
- To use the scripts in your HTML files you have to prefix the path to the .py files with /cgi-bin/
- To generate proper output the first print call in your script has to be
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
- With the python module cgi you are able to access content of the calling HTML form
- If something went wrong /var/log/apache2/error.log is your friend!
For more information see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html But not everything in there worked for me…
For usage of Pythons CGI module see: http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html
Have Fun!
