Our purchased music files may not be in the most common mp3 format, but in m4a, for example. This wouldn't be a problem at all, because most music players know many formats, so there's a good chance we can play our music. But what if your favorite player still doesn't know this format and you don't want to switch to another player app? In this case, it will be necessary to convert our files to a format that our player also supports. In this tutorial, we will look at how to convert m4a music files to mp3 on Debian and Ubuntu systems by trying out several methods.

There is often a need to control a remote computer from another machine or even our cell phone. I installed Google Remote Desktop to control my Debian 10 from the other desktop, but I found that the remote Debian came in with a blank desktop on the remote control interface. This is because Google Remote Desktop on Linux machines basically starts a new session instead of using an existing desktop. In this description, after installing and starting the program, we make a setting that allows the remote control part to be connected to the same session on Linux host machines, which allows us to use the remote control system in the usual way.

In this dual-boot tutorial, we first install a Windows 7 operating system and then install a Debian 10 (Buster) copy. The installation is done on a 64-bit BIOS-based machine, where two 64-bit systems are mounted on two partitions on a single MBR partitioning scheme. This page will install Windows 7.

By making the web and other services running on our server available to the public, there may be a need for a comprehensive monitoring system that allows us to track information about the utilization of various resources on our server from one place. Many of these softwares are available today, and in this tutorial we will look at the installation and commissioning of a server monitor package called Munin on Debian 9 (Stretch) and Debian 10 (Buster).

The NTFS file system external drive mounted on our Linux machine has an error tagging with the ntfslabel command. Here's a quick troubleshooting guide to help you with this.

When updating our packages, the APT package manager may hold some pieces. This is mostly because a particular program sometimes goes through changes that change the package dependency of the base software. In this case, you would need additional new packages, sometimes ones that require the replacement of other packages. Thus, in some cases, the normal-mode package update does not perform an update to such software, but APT leaves the matter to the user. In this brief description, let’s look at an example of how to update our packages withheld in this way.

If you run multiple websites on your server, you may need to run a different version of PHP for each website. When using ISPConfig, this is a very simple task, as the control panel can run multiple versions of PHP at the same time. In this tutorial, we will review how to configure PHP instances installed on a server in FastCGI and PHP-FPM modes.
