By first, you need to download the following packages with the following command
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc-4.4
Then download and give execution permissions to the NVIDIA binary driver — XServer must be down.
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/275.28/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
Now just start the X server, enjoy!
Configuring LIRC with a Windows Media Center Remote to work at Linux is easy and if you like seeing movies while you are at bed is just awesome, here an easy setup (ripped from mine old blog 
)
sudo apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source module-assistant
Now on configuration
Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all) -> None -> DONE!
To test out the controller, is
irw
while doing this, click the keys in your controller and they will appear if it was detected correctly. Here, all were detected.
If you want to make it work with KDE and KDE apps,
apt-get install kdelirc
And configure the keys in System Settings.
Note: This might work on other distributions just installing the packages on their package managers or from source, however you want. Root password and access is required.
I been helping a friend to move into Debian Squeeze although this guide work on any I think, first of all, installing the packages, hopefully way less than any tutorial that I wrote at here.
apt-get install libfuse2 ntfs-3g
The second step is know where the NTFS partition is located, for that we will use
fdisk -l | grep NTFS
And it will output something similar to this
/dev/hdc1 * 1 9728 78140128+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Now we know that the partition is located at /dev/hdc1, we will need to choose the path where we want it mounted, so we will create a nice folder on root ( /disk ) or on the home of an user ( /home/yourusernameathere/disk ), when we created the folder we will just add a line in /etc/fstab that will be like:
/dev/hdc1 /home/yourusernameathere ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
Was easy heh? Then just restart or do mount -a as root
You need to have closed your X server to make this work.
For 64 bits: Download the needed stuff, nvidia driver, the kernel headers, changing permissions and installing it
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/260.19.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run |
For 32 bits: Download the needed stuff, nvidia driver, the kernel headers, changing permissions and installing it
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run |
And depending of what desktop manager do you use, you will start it (gdm, kdm, w/e)
/etc/init.d/kdm start or restart //(depends if it is running) /etc/init.d/gdm start or restart //(depends if it is running) |
If it doesn’t run, just run
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg |
