Install Filezilla in Debian 8

Lets begin by downloading Filezilla.

Visit the official Filezilla site https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client and click on Download button.

This will download a file like FileZilla_x.xx.x_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 where "x" is the current version of Filezilla.

Lets move that file in /usr directory.

sudo mv ~/Downloads/FileZilla_x.xx.x_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 /usr

Go to /usr and decompress filezilla:

cd /usr

sudo tar xvf FileZilla_x.xx.x_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

Remove the compressed file:

sudo rm FileZilla_x.xx.x_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

lets create the launcher. Press the "Super Key" (this one is located on your keyboard between "ctrl" and "alt". In windows world is also called "Windows Key")

then type "main menu"

Remove nouveau and install nvidia Driver in Debian 8

September 16, 2015 in O.S.

Install Nvidia Drivers in in Debian 8

Lets remove first everything that point to any existing nvidia installation.

open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get remove nvidia*

sudo apt-get autoremove

update and download a few tools that we will need:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

This part is optional but its is recommended:

Install 32 bit support:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

sudo apt-get update

Now its time to blacklist the nouveau driver.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

and add the following lines:

blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
