Hello. I've been unable to boot into my Plasma desktop for the entire day. SDDM just gets stucks after I input my password and does nothing. If I try SDDM autologin with my current user, I just get a black screen with a movable mouse pointer. If I try starting a session with a new fresh user, I get a dialog message saying kded5 got a segmentation fault. My installation and KDE desktop was working fine for years before this. I'm posting this from XFCE at the moment. Things I tried: Starting the desktop session from SDDM From startx (after adding "DEFAULT_SESSION=startplasma-x11" to .xinitrc) Reinstalling all KDE software Reinstalling all Qt libraries Running fsck Running badblocks Deleting .Xauthority (read it helped for startx) Logging in with another fresh user I just created with adduser command I'm running Debian Bookworm.

When I start Chromium browsers (at least with Vivaldi or Brave) or other apps like Element I often get the popup Unlock Login Keyring with the message Enter password to unlock your login keyring "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer". As this issue was already commented in other posts (at least here and also here), I tried to follow the solution given, but without success. What can I do? Specifiying a bit more, I had already this issue with Debian 9 and I have it with Debian 11, always with XFCE as desktop manager and lightdm as display manager and I always introduce my password when start the session (tell me if I can give any other relevant detail to this issue). As specified in the second of the links above, I have included the lines Code: Select allauth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start in my /etc/pam.d/lightdm file. Indeed, the file is like follows: Code: Select all#%PAM-1.0 # Block login if they are globally disabled auth requisite pam_nologin.so # Load environment from /etc/environment and ~/.pam_environment session required pam_env.so readenv=1 session required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale @include common-auth auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so @include common-account # SELinux needs to be the first session rule. This ensures that any # lingering context has been cleared. Without out this it is possible # that a module could execute code in the wrong domain. # When the module is present, "required" would be sufficient (When SELinux # is disabled, this returns success.) session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so close session required pam_limits.so session required pam_loginuid.so @include common-session # SELinux needs to intervene at login time to ensure that the process # starts in the proper default security context. Only sessions which are # intended to run in the user's context should be run after this. session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so open # When the module is present, "required" would be sufficient (When SELinux # is disabled, this returns success.) session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start @include common-password Regarding to the note Note that the required added lines are at the bottom. If you put them above, after the other "auth" lines, say, then you'll be required to enter your password twice at login, which doesn't give the installation a smooth feel. I didn't add the lines at the bottom, since there are no more "auth" lines in this file. I do not know if may have influence other "auth" lines in the files /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin and /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter. I have never seen the check box "do you want to automatically open the keyring on login?" mentioned in the link with that solution. The current behaviour is: If I press the Cancel button a number of times (not always the same, it may depend on the app), finally it closes, but next time I open the app I get the popup again If I write my session password and Unlock, then the popup does not appear any more the next times I open any of the apps with this behaviour at least for some hours. This is the case even if I shut down the computer and start again, for example as I did yesterday various times. However, today I got again this popup. Thank you! | Just set the password as a blank. That should take care if it popping up. |
I'm running Debian 10 with GNOME. I have a GTX 1080 and am using the proprietary Linux drivers. Linux kernel is 5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64. My system was working great until just last night. Now when I shut down or suspend the machine, it never actually finishes the processes as far as I can tell. When I shut it down, it stays on indefinitely, stuck on a grey screen only saying "Reboot: power off". The fans are still on, though it's not writing anything to disk. When I suspend, it's a similar case, except there is no grey screen. When it's suspended I can't actually wake the computer, leading me to believe it's stuck on something. I have to hold the power button to turn restart the computer instead. The trouble is: what is it stuck on? I've read all the logs I could think of but nothing seems relevant. I've tried changing my graphics card drivers and the kernel version, but neither worked. I think it's due to some program becoming corrupt, but I have no clue how I'd figure out which one/if this is the case. Here are some excerpts from right after I suspend, up until the next reboot. syslog: Code: Select allov 3 15:15:26 laz-deb NetworkManager[685]: <info> [1635970526.5879] manager: sleep: sleep requested (sleeping: no enabled: yes) Nov 3 15:15:26 laz-deb NetworkManager[685]: <info> [1635970526.5880] manager: NetworkManager state is now ASLEEP Nov 3 15:15:26 laz-deb gnome-shell[1025]: Screen lock is locked down, not locking Nov 3 15:15:26 laz-deb rtkit-daemon[675]: Supervising 3 threads of 1 processes of 1 users.

Hello everybody, one month ago updated my Debian 10 system to Debian 11. For one month everything went without any significant problem. Today I started to experience a very annoying problem that I'm worried will make the system unusable: I've experienced a full and unrecoverable freeze of the system, I could not even access a terminal with Ctrl + Alt + F1. This happened in total 3 times today (until yesterday everything was going well). This has happened in moments when I was really not doing anything special: stuff like surfing the web and listening to an audio CD. Once it happened immediately after boot, while I was trying to access the wifi network. In all cases I had to power off the computer. Has anyone experienced something similar here? I can't really see what I've done, assuming that it is my fault. The only changes that I applied recently (yesterday) are the installation of a security update of xen and the deactivation of the kwallet component of KDE, but I find hard to believe this problem is caused by this. Now I've restored, just to be sure, the previous configuration of kwallet: so far it has not happened again, but only few hours passed. Any related experience? | @craigevil @Hallvor Not sure if you realise but the previous 2 posts were not from the OP and are totally irrelevant. @rongfu This is a help thread, not the place for random opinions. There is an Offtopic section and a Discussion section for that. Thanks. Edit: Posts now removed to maintain continuity of thread. |

Never worried about it before I upgraded the motherboards. All network interfaces were 1gb. With the new motherboard, I have a 2.5gb interface that I bond with two 1gb interfaces in mode 1 for fail-over, using the 2.5gb as primary. So my one server has all the new naming conventions (enp58s0 - 2.5gb, enp3s0f0 & enp3s0f1 - both 1gb) The other still shows eth1, eth2, eth3. (eth0 is not used as it is a 10gb interface that logs billions of errors when used) So when all nic's were same speed, changing eth names was not a problem. But now, I can't have the 2.5gb interface getting switched to a different name and sit there in backup mode.

I run Debian 9.1 with the LXDE and XFCE desktops. When I would startup Chromium, the message "Unlock Login Keyring" would popup in a box also saying: "Enter password to unlock your login keyring.

Hi, Firefox got updated to version 78 yesterday, and the main thing i noticed is the removing of debian package repo search engine, which i use multiple time a day.

Hey guys, been experimenting with Debian again since v11 released and I have an issue where when I try to open gui programs that need super user privileges to open, instead of the prompt asking for password, it does nothing.

Hi all, I hope you are well, Let me preface this with the fact that I really am unsure how to describe this issue, other than to say I was trying to install a package (conky i think) and the terminal output something along the lines of "type 'yes, i really want to do this'" as it was potentially harmful to remove the packages needed to install conky (or whatever it was). Anyway, I went ahead with it (perhaps foolishly) and my system is fine, other than the fact that my terminal is basically unusable, the backspace functions as a space bar, the arrow keys do not work as intended and only paste excerpts from the command i was writing- it also posts two hostnames when i open the terminal. I completely understand that this isnt a lot to go on, but if there is any commands that you guys need the output of please do let me know and I will post them in the replies, from the internet research I did I dont seem to be able to find anyone with a similar issue, but im sure thats not the case.

I would like to run smartctl to check the temperatures on three drives in my desktop without having to use sudo, or logging in as root. There are several reasons I want to this, but primarily I want execute smartctl from a script. And hhdtemp and the disks utility don't give the same results as does smartctl. Besides which hddtemp also requires root authorization which I am trying to circumvent. I have looked at a number of different references including the sudoers man page. It seems pretty straightforward but I can't get it to work. I started by creating a file in /etc/sudoers.d Code: Select all#nano /etc/sudoers.d/username Then I edited that file with the following, and then saved the file Code: Select allusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/smartctl Finally I changed the mode of that file to 0440 as required Code: Select allchmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/username I then rebooted the machine to ensure that the sudo changes got loaded. But when I try to execute as user I get the following Code: Select allusrname@debian:~$ /usr/sbin/smartctl --all /dev/sda smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.10.0-8-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-20, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: Permission denied Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Yesterday I was helping a newbie friend with installation of a package using the Synaptic Package Manager. He has a Thinkpad T60 running Debian 10 (32 bit), which I helped him to install. Using the XFCE desktop and lightdm. We had previously used Synaptic to install a package and everything worked fine. However, this time when we opened Synaptic and did a search to find the package to be installed, wget, nothing showed up in the search results. We then tried searching for multiple other packages and again nothing showed up in the search results. On opening Synaptic all available packages showed up as is normal. Is there some setting that might be causing the search results to not show up or might there be a problem with the Synaptic package installation on his machine? Since Synaptic had previously worked correctly I am guessing that there may be some setting that was changed, but for the life of me I can't find anything that might be applicable. And my friend and I don't live close to each other so I don't have easy access to his machine, and he is quite computer illiterate so getting him to do any troubleshooting is difficult at best. So, I'm just looking for some suggestions as to where to look the next time he and I get together. Thanks for any suggestions. By the way, we were able to install the desired package using apt install so it was obviously in the repository and should have shown up in the search results. I am puzzled. | jakoline1 wrote: 2021-07-15 11:54 Code: Select allsudo apt install apt-xapian-index Then rebuild search index Code: Select allsudo update-apt-xapian-index -vf Now you should see a new search box in Synaptic.

I use CUPS as a printing server in my household for my family, and some of the machines connected to it are a Windows PC. It works consistently well, the only issue is that it sometimes decides to freeze in the middle of printing and leaves an incomplete print. I've been able to work around this for a while by just disabling the printer and re-enabling it in the CUPS web interface. I was hoping someone might be able to tell what the issue is since I couldn't really find much from my own research. I'm going to include the error log that I get from CUPS. For reference, the printer I use is an old Deskjet 895CSE if that's helpful at all. I'm using the latest version of Debian 10 on kernel 4.19.0-17-amd64. Please let me know if you need any more information, and I would be happy to provide it!

Hi all, I downloaded the iso for what I thought was a live version of debian 10.9 and booted it on my computer. After it ran a long time, a screen came up and I explored it for a while before trying to shut it down. After choosing logout to shut down, the screen went blank except for two rectangles. After a few minutes, I shut off the power. Since this, when I boot into the linux distro on this machine, after log in it just displays a window saying my window manager is not usable. After a few seconds I note that either the fan or the disk is running loudly, so I shut the computer down to avoid possible heat damage. The windows install on a separate hard drive on the same machine is working fine. When I boot with a live distro, I can see that the files still exist on the drive. I am not sure what was mangled on the ssd with the linux distro and I would appreciate any advice about how I can diagnose this and fix. I realize this isn't providing a bunch of useful technical details; be happy to provide them if people suggest what... Thanks in advance. stevesr0 | stevesr0 wrote:I downloaded the iso for what I thought was a live version of debian 10.9 What was it actually ? What is the file name ? |
Running Buster 10.9 on an ancient Opteron C2D. The issue I am having is that memory usage steadily climbs when doing file transfers in both mc and doublecmd, and only slowly comes down when aborted. After only a a few gigs it starts to throttle the machine while filling up RAM and Swap. This does not happen on the Win7 boot, so I assume something is awry with Debian or kernel (4.19). In Debian there is no issue with Net transfers. Only with disk to disk. I was wondering if there are any daemons can cause (or alleviate) the issue. I have 'and' installed, but it doesnt seem to do much, and the cpu doesnt seem overstressed during the file transfers. I have been installing alot of libs recently in an attempt to reconstitute a crashed large development system, and these might have pulled some garbage in with them during install. Now there IS one possible issue that aggrivate the situation. I installed the system from a 10.9 live boot disk. All went well. Added some utils directly from the debian repo, and then mirrored the repo with apt-mirror. The problem is that it used an older mirror list that was in /bin and not the one I had modified in /etc/apt. The old mirror list was set for Sid, but it wasnt long before I found and fixed the problem. Other than a temproary problem with Webkit, I have seen no real issues from it (except possibly above), but if any do occur - is there any simple methods to downgrade a package these days? I can hack /var/lib/dpkg if necessary.... | millpond wrote: Other than a temproary problem with Webkit, I have seen no real issues from it (except possibly above), but if any do occur - is there any simple methods to downgrade a package these days? You can force a specific version. I did it recently for Ardour where an older version from a 3rd party repo was being installed as it had a "2" prefix rather than "1" int the Bullseye version causing it to be preferred. Then you can use apt pinning or apt-mark hold to prevent automatic replacement. You need to specify the exact version and may or may not have difficult dependency issues to deal with. Like so: Code: Select allapt install ardour=1:6.5.0+ds0-1 apt-mark hold ardour |

I have three (3) drives in my desktop computer. The BIOS boot order is sda1 (Buster), sdb1 (Bullseye) and sdc1 (Bullseye). The first two drives, sda and sdb, are SSD's and sdc is a HDD. I updated and upgraded all three drives today and restarted the computer after each upgrade. After upgrading sdc1, and restarting, the grub menu was from drive sdc1, not from sda1 as expected. I then restarted and went into the BIOS to verify that the boot order was still as expected (sda1,sdb1,sdc1), and it was. So I disabled sdc1, saved, and restarted. I got a message that a file system could not be found and was presented with the GRUB prompt. I re-enabled drive sdc1, restarted and selected sda1 at the grub menu. Once I got to the desktop I opened a terminal and did a grub-install on /dev/sda. After that the boot process worked as expected. I had the same thing happen, maybe 6 months ago. I don't recall exactly but I think this and the previous upgrade to sdc1 both had an upgrade to the kernel. I know that today's upgrade had a new kernel, just not sure about the previous upgrade that caused the boot problem. Oh, one other thing. After the upgrade to sdc1 I did an autoremove of an old kernel and might have done the same thing on the previous occurrence of the boot issue. Has anybody else seen a similar problem? Not sure why it would appear to happen only when upgrading the HDD, but wonder if this might be some kind of bug. Or maybe I'm just lucky. UPDATE:Additional Info All three drives are legacy boot devices, just in case that is important to know. | ticojohn wrote:I had the same thing happen, maybe 6 months ago. And it will happen after each grub* package update until you fix the cause which is : you told grub-pc on sdc to install GRUB's boot image on sda. The consequences are : - When sda boots, it's sdc's GRUB's boot image which boots. - This boot image is related to GRUB in sdc, so boot fails when sdc is missing. - If you force boot on sdc (with the boot image on sdc), boot may fail too because if a version mismatch between the boot image in sdc (which has not been updated, as the new boot image was written to sda) and the contents of /boot/grub. To check : - boot the system on sdc - check the target of grub-pc with Code: Select alldebconf-show grub-pc | grep install_devices The result should be a symlink in /dev/disk/by-id. Check which drive it is. If it is not correct, run Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and select the proper drive. |
I've been using Grsync to back up my /home directory for years, but have never had the occasion to restore a backup. Reading about the restore process, mostly regarding full system backups, I have read that one should NOT back up to the mounted system (eg the one I am logged in to). And the reasons make sense. However, I am wondering if I can restore just my /home directory while I am logged in. I exclude the .xsession logs and the .cache from the backup, just in case that would make a difference in your answers. And just in case the answer is that I should not do the restore whole logged in, I might have an alternative solution. I have two user accounts on my desktop (and two other drives with Bullseye installed). Wondering if I could log in as the other user to restore to /home my main user. Lots of wondering here, but not yet wandering. LOL! Enlightenment would be wonderful! | To be absolutely safe and simple, I always do system backups or restores from a separate system either multiboot or a live USB. To backup $HOME to a separate drive I do it from the normal active system, but would restore it from a separately booted system. As you mentioned things like caches for DE and browsers get written often so even when backing up, from an active system some files may be changed between the time you start backup and when it finishes. Probably those changes won't matter at all but I'm fussy about those kind of things. |
WARNING In this post, and my follow-up post, I present things that may be contrary to best practices and I do NOT advocate that anyone repeat what I have done. This will probably strike many as being a really strange request. I use some programs that were written for use with tcl/tk8.4 and due to changes in tcl/tk8.6 those programs no longer function. I had, at one time, been able to add the wheezy archive to my sources.list and then could install tcl/tk8.4. However, the wheezy archive is no longer supported via the debian-archive-keyring. Does anybody know where, and how, I can find the deb packages for tcl/tk8.4 ? I did find them in the debian archives pool, but the tcl8.4 package has a dependency pointing to itself (depends tk8.4 >=tk8.4.19 , or something like that), so gdebi won't open the package. Can I get gdebi to ignore dependencies? Probably not. | I solved my problem. I removed my solution as it was probably against best practices and I don't want others to repeat my mistakes. Sorry. |
Hi, I wanted nautilus type-ahead feature, which is when you type something in nautilus, a file or folder whose name matches what you typed, gets selected. The default nautilus package in Debian 10 doesn't have this feature. I knew that in Arch distribution there is a AUR package that provides this feature. So I figured I could build nautilus package from source with the patch in that AUR package that add type-ahead feature. I used this guide to build nautilus, but even building it without adding the patch failed. Commands I used to build the package: Code: Select allapt build-dep nautilus apt source nautilus cd nautilus-3.30.5-2 debuild -b -uc -us The last command failed and ended with: Code: Select all debian/rules override_dh_auto_test make[1]: Entering directory '/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5' mkdir -p -m0700 /home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/debian/tmp-home/run touch /home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/debian/tmp-home/.gtk-bookmarks env \ HOME=/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/debian/tmp-home \ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/debian/tmp-home/run \ dbus-run-session -- xvfb-run dh_auto_test cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MESON_TESTTHREADS=4 ninja test [1/161] Generating config.h with a custom command. fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git [1/2] Running all tests. dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Activating service name='org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' requested by ':1.1' (uid=1000 pid=7720 comm="/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/s") dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Successfully activated service 'org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Activating service name='org.a11y.Bus' requested by ':1.6' (uid=1000 pid=7716 comm="/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/e") dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Activating service name='org.gtk.vfs.Metadata' requested by ':1.5' (uid=1000 pid=7737 comm="/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/t") dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Successfully activated service 'org.a11y.Bus' dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Tracker1' requested by ':1.1' (uid=1000 pid=7720 comm="/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/s") dbus-daemon[7767]: Activating service name='org.a11y.atspi.Registry' requested by ':1.0' (uid=1000 pid=7716 comm="/home/hamid/nautilus-3.30.5/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/e") dbus-daemon[7676]: [session uid=1000 pid=7676] Successfully activated service 'org.gtk.vfs.Metadata' dbus-daemon[7767]: Successfully activated service 'org.a11y.atspi.Registry' SpiRegistry daemon is running with well-known name -

This one puzzles me. For years I have been checking my local weather by going to the Government of Canada Ministry of Environment https://weather.gc.ca/ . For the last few weeks that site is blocked and the browser says, "We can’t connect to the server at weather.gc.ca." This happens with Firefox-esr, Slimjet and Pale Moon. I have even renamed ~/.mozilla and booted Firefox-esr with a fresh one with no extensions and still had the problem. The same happens with Palemoon. Now here's the kicker: Tor browser can read the site. I even upgraded Tor to its most recent and it can still read that site. So what's the difference? Why can Tor read https://weather.gc.ca/ but the other browsers cannot? | ...working fine here? |
First, I don't have a problem, just looking for information. I just installed a third drive in my desktop machine. Drive 1 is an SSD with Buster installed, Drive 2 (the new drive) is and SSD with Bullseye installed, and Drive 3 is an HDD with Bullseye installed. I call them Drive x based on the boot order in the bios. Prior to installing the new SSD the Buster drive was mounted as sda and the Bullseye HDD was mounted as sdb. After installing the new SSD I find that the Buster drive is now designated as sdb, the new Bullseye SSD drive is designated as sda and the Bullseye HDD is designated as sdc. So my question is this: How are those drive designation arrived at? Are they related to the sata port to which the drive is connected or is it somehow related to the order in which the bios detects the drives? Maybe related to which sata port the drive is plugged in to. The new ssd IS connected to sata port 0. There are no problems booting as I use the UUID, but I'm just looking to have a more aesthetically pleasing grub menu. I know i could edit the grub.cfg file (which we are NOT supposed to do) so that the drives have the designations I want, and I am NOT going to do that. But is there some way to control how the drives named? | Yes, enumeration order. You can often physically swap ports to reorder the drives to your preference. I do set up on the third port often to make the OS c, for fun. The controller types are important, secondary, etc. Most controllers that are hot swapable will reserve an empty port. Controllers without will not. A secondary controller may bump the primary controllers order with drive present. example 2 prt sata3, 4 port sata2 is an intel common and they are removable, so port0 is a even empty, on up the list. If a secondary without hotswap is empty, all is preserved. Add one drive to that controller and the former port0 a is now at b, 2 drives on the secondary, now port0 is c, and so on. USB is a secondary bootable controller, so it may alter the order also. Often in the above combo, it will appear after the sata3 pair, and be c. |
stumbled on answer at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=239157 - the Ext2Fsd 0.68 utility installed on Win 10 (although no longer used, must be active in the background) was causing the issue. Confirmed by uninstalling it ... it only affected the LMDE 4 partition, not the Mint 20.1 partition. As background, have been dual booting Linux Mint (currently 20.1 - a much appreciated OS) and Windows (currently Win 10) for five years or so without any boot issues. I have a separate NTFS partition for my personal data, which is shared by the respective OS s... Recently decided to try out LMDE 4 as a possible replacement for Mint 20.1, which is starting to have some speed issues, and find it well suited to my needs and faster than Mint 20.1 (particularly with regard to Libre Office, which is annoyingly slow opening in 20.1) - so at the moment have three OS s installed... The LMDE 4 issue is: for some reason, booting into Windows introduces disk errors into the LMDE disk partition, which prevents booting into the LMDE OS & instead end up with an initramfs prompt... to fix either have to run "fsck /dev/sda# -y" at the prompt (a very lengthy process) & reboot or boot into Mint 20.1 & use Gparted to check & fix errors on the LMDE 4 (ext4) partition & then reboot into LMDE 4. I thought it might have something to do with the EFI (fat32) partition installed as part of LMDE 4 but temporarily deleting it made no difference. Any suggestions, short of getting rid of Win 10 - which is generally used once per month to keep it updated & to make Macrium Reflect backup images (a 3 to 5 min. process) of the Linux partitions, etc., would be appreciated... | pdm wrote:booting into Windows introduces disk errors into the LMDE disk partition, which prevents booting into the LMDE OS & instead end up with an initramfs prompt Windows is not supposed to mess with ext4 filesystems.

I have upgraded to Bullseye on two systems, a NUC5i5ryh with M.2 NVME SSD and a Gigabyte MB with a HDD. I have seen a different behavior on the two systems when I reboot. On the NUC I see a watchdog message when the reboot occurs but do not see that message on the Gigabyte board with HDD. I have to assume the the reboot procedure is identical on the two systems so i am wondering, is this due to some hardware thing on the NUC or is it because the HDD is so much slower than the SSD on the NUC? I have looked at journalctl but obviously see nothing as the message likely occurs AFTER the drive is unmounted, so no messages can be written to the logs. And I have seen some board messages, I think on Reddit, that seem to indicate that this message is normal. Weird, as I've never seen the message with Buster. Just to be clear, I am NOT concerned since the message does not seem to cause any issues. I'm GUESSING that some change in systemd is the culprit and will likely be resolved if it is an issue. I'm just inquisitive. Thanks. | Inquisitive is good. My guess is it's an hardware issue but, as you say, it probably isn't important. |
Hi all, Since switching to Linux a few years ago, I've been using Gnome as my DE. Recently I've been playing with i3 on a TEST computer, not my main machine. My test computer is the same hardware, and like my main computer, it is running Debian Testing. I installed Debian with Gnome then added i3. I've done some limited testing with the a few of the programs I use daily, and it seems I can switch between the two desktop environments without any issues. My question is, because I don't understand everything about either Gnome or i3, are there some issues I may run into if I continue to use both environments? My plan is to just switch between them depending on on what task I'm performing. Thanks. | Should be fine. |
I am currently running Buster and am considering an upgrade to Bullseye. I have read Chapter 4. Upgrades from Debian 10 (buster). But I have a couple things that I wonder about. For personal reasons I use Tcl/Tk 8.4, instead of the current Tcl/Tk 8.6, and I use an older version of Grisbi. When I upgrade to Bullseye will the installer try to replace those packages with the most recent releases? Whenever I do an update/upgrade with Buster I don't have any issues so I am hoping that the upgrade to Bullseye will also not try to upgrade those packages. I prefer to NOT pin those packages as I have read that pinned packages may cause upgrade issues. Any words of wisdom would be welcome. Update: I suppose there could be dependency issues if some of the library files have been updated in Bullseye and are no longer available or are incompatible. Guess I need to do some research and find out. | Head_on_a_Stick wrote:ticojohn wrote:there are three package that will be kept back.

Where is it better to put your own dynamic library (which you created and compiled by me) in order to keep a clean and tidy Debian system, without mixing with system libraries ? For example your own programs that compile from source, it is better to install them in Code: Select all/usr/local/ or Code: Select all/opt. | It's best to package it up properly and install it under /usr/lib. There will only be a conflict if you already have a system library of the same name. If it is to replace a system library of the same name then place it under /usr/local/ so it will be called in preference automatically. But in both cases make a .deb package for it rather than use 'make install' (or whatever). |

You can install those packages from backport, or ignore messages. |
Edit: even chrome under the windows vm has tearing. Inside a windows VM client, with kvm, videos look fine inside Chrome. Such as for Netflix videos. But from the host with buister, there is tearing. I tried firefox-esr, chromium, google-chrome. What can I do? I run a very old version of enlightenment as desktop environment. And I run debian buster with kernel 5.7 from backports. I thought I would then build myself enlightenment for wayland but it was too time consuming. Version: 0.22.4-2. Latest in buster, but very old after I investigated EFL and enlightenment. I have the same problem if I boot using xfce. I just tried in Chrome and I had tearing. Not all the time but clearly I saw it. In Youtube videos. I want to try gnome to see if wayland removes the problem or if I have a graphics card issue with nouveau. But I wait to see what you say first because gnome requires 355 new packages. And kde-plasma-desktop requires 429 packages. I don't have an AMD or Nvidia card. I have intel integrated.

How to safely connect Debian computers over the internet for games is my question really. I want to play the pacman type game called Njam with a someone in another part of the world. i can connect and play Njam between two computers on the LAN in my house. To get that working, I needed to created a rule in the ufw firewall on each computer. On computer A 192.168.0.101 ALLOW IN 192.168.0.102 On computer B "192.168.0.102 ALLOW IN 192.168.0.101". ------------------------------------- Now I want to connect to a computer on the internet. To try this, I connected computer B to a vpn. Then I created a new rule, like the rules above, in the ufw firewall using computer B's WAN ip address. However the computers did not connect. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks | If you're connecting to the internet through a router then I think you will have to enable port forwarding on the router and also open the relevant port(s) in the router's firewall. |

Hi, I'm on Debian stretch with kde (plasma 5.8.6) on a dell latitude laptop, my system works greats since 2018! Now I have an issue: I just update my local firefox to 82.0.3 version (I did that many times before without problem) I dont know if it is related but just after the update baloo_file_extractor started running, loading the system (fans at max speed) After rebooting, baloo_file_extractor restarted as soon as I logged in. I disabled it using the kde system settings, but my files are not longer indexed. Did someone has a solution in order to make that program run normally again? | Finally I answer to myself, the point is to rebuilt the database for the file search. In System settings>Workspace>Search>File Search uncheck the box Enable File Search (this stop the Baloo demon) In a terminal or in the file browser remove or rename (safer) the directory: .local/share/baloo Then reboot and in System settings >Workspace>Search>File Search check the box Enable File Search The machine rebuilds the database (it takes a couple of minutes on my Dell 5480/i7/32Go) That solved the issue Thanks for those who read that post. |

I started unpacking a zip archive yesterday that contains several images, and after about 10 min the system became very sluggish and I got a warning that the disk was 95% full in the KDE tray. A moment later the same notification icon popped up a warning saying the disk was 100% full, and looking at the destination folder it did look like only about half of the images had been successfully extracted.

I started GParted as a sanity check and it still shows the partition as 100% full with only 12 MiB unused; am I correct in thinking this is due to the system being on an LVM? 3.

Thanks. | y Mr. Lumbergh » 2020-08-26 20:39 I started unpacking a zip archive yesterday that contains several images, and after about 10 min the system became very sluggish and I got a warning that the disk was 95% full in the KDE tray I don't see what this "zip achirve" is, where it came from, name , etc.... But I would be worried, a lot can be done in 10 minuets, I hope you have a good back up of your system, made before you did this 1. How would I go about checking for and clearing any such links, if that is indeed part of the problem I had earlier? I don't know, it would help to have the name of the mysterious zip file I think,... 2. I don't use gparted, not much any way...don't trust it. 3. Is there anything else you'd recommend I check before calling this good? Depends on what the zip file was, I will leave it at that for now. (Usually zip files are intended for Windows, but sometimes they are available for Linux , with claims that it can be used on a linux system) 10 minuets was enough time to extract a lot of data and upload it, or like you said, it could have established links, and be uploading your data some where right now. I would take the machine off line , until I was sure about all of this, ..but then again, maybe you got it from some trusted source and do not need to worry. Maybe the source of it has some support or can help you as well. What kind of images did it contain ? but I'm worried that a bunch of links were created that the system might still try to write to despite folder being deleted; I've heard about this sort of situation sometimes doing that.

I know there is Old Debian releases on CD/DVD What I like you guys to orient me is: How it the proper used of them. I assume we download the DVD and set up a server to have our very own local apt source. But how this is done? What server and apps are needed? Enrique | Its not a good idea to use old releases for a server. Stable is best for that. Notes for older versions Most importantly: the archive images are provided as a service for our users who may need them. We strongly recommend that you install the current stable release of Debian if at all possible, as that is where you will receive the best support. Older releases will no longer receive security updates If you must use it, you would point your sources list to the archive pool. http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/dists/ |

Today i booted into Windows and got a request to update my BIOS. After updating, the system no longer sees my GRUB partition when booting and goes straight into windows. However, it gives a blue screen error along the lines of "invalid boot drive." I was doing a bit of digging and found the rEFInd tool that shows me that windows, grub, and debian are still there, but I'm still having issues booting into any. When booting to Debian through Grub or rEFInd, I end up getting the following error: https://i.snap.as/8m2mIi6.jpg I'm at a bit of a loss on how to fix things at this point. If anyone has tips on steps i can take, i would greatly appreciate it.

Then try using efibootmgr to set the debian bootloader again (if thats your preference/goal) or failing that, if that fails, reinstall grub in a manner appropriate for that system. Bios vs uefi, mbr vs gpt etc. From what you've said appears its a uefi/gpt setup. Other stuff to check, perhaps see if secureboot was-is reenabled also. |

I'm having an issue on Buster with KDE where following updates a couple of days ago, sleeping instead of fully shutting down results in USB 3 and HDMI audio failing upon restart. The mobo in this box has 1 USB-C and 4 USB 3 ports, and I have a camera card reader mounted in a 2.5" drive bay that has a USB 2 port. Upon restarting I can't log in or use the mouse plugged into the 3 ports; they're completely dead. The mouse has a few LED's to indicate settings that won't even light when it's doing this. I have to pull the keyboard dongle out of the 3 port on the back of the box and insert into the reader port on the front in order to log in, and after restarting there's still no power to any of the 3 ports. The C port comes back to life though. A similar thing is happening with HDMI audio, if I start up from sleep mode it no longer recognizes the video card (Radeon RX580) as a sound device unless I walk over to the TV and unplug/replug the HDMI cable back in; this is again only happening in the last few days after recent updates. I frequently stream over to my TV so I know it works otherwise. System is Buster/KDE fully updated with an Asus X570 board. If anyone can offer some advice on how to start tracking this down it would be appreciated. EDIT: I may have gotten the HDMI audio issue figured out, if I change the volume on my TV it'll often bring the audio back even if the TV wasn't muted. I'm still having the issue with USB3 not restarting along with the rest of the system though so would still welcome some pointers on how to resolve. Thanks | Nobody has any ideas what might be causing this? |

Chromium has slowed to a snail's pace. I spent a while checking out my wifi connection. Maybe there is some conflict with my extensions? Then installed Firefox.

Debian Stretch Live ISO has lxde as Windows Manager. lxde is an independent desktop manager that has some of the base binaries of Gnome but not KDE. So kget would require several tens of binaries and packages to be installed to create a system that uses KDE.

Last night I ran a few upgrades that Software Center alerted me were available. A few of them were for LibreOffice packages as I recall, but after booting up this morning I'm unable to open either a Calc or Writer document. It appears as though it's opening in the taskbar, then the tab for it closes immediately. I've checked to make sure there wasn't a dialog box open somewhere asking for a file recovery or the like. I've also renamed the config file for LibreOffice with a .bak extension to try to get it to rewrite a new one and open. No luck so far. Any advice on how to proceed is appreciated. | Start them from the command line interface, and that should give you a hint. |
I recently installed Debian 10 on my laptop. I used a Live Bootable USB for installation purpose. The installation got finished without any hiccups. Everything else seems fine except for one thing. When I open my system monitor, the total RAM size shown there is a lot smaller then my actual RAM size installed. It shows only 2.5 GB of total RAM available whereas I have 12 GB RAM in my laptop. Below I'm providing some further details which might help in troubleshooting: Total RAM: 12 GB (4GB + 8 GB configuration) Number of RAM slots: 2 Processor: i3-6006u Installation media: Live Bootable USB stick Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma I'm dual booting Debian alongside Fedora on my external HDD. I've even tried installing gnome-system-monitor, but that too shows the same thing. I've tried searching the Internet for solution but no success. Any help is highly appreciated. Edit: Re-downloading the 64bit large installation image (no live) solved the problem. Apparently, I somehow ended up with a 32 Bit (non-PAE) image. I checked my downloaded live image and it says AMD64, but I still somehow ended up 32 bit installation. Not sure how that happened but for now everything works flawlessly with my fresh installation. | This is a 32-bit kernel without PAE. It cannot use memory above the 4-GiB boundary.

Good morning folks I hope everyone is doing well ! I am scratching my head since a few days now without being able to find any answers. i am fairly new with Debian and in programming in general ( just started a few weeks ago ) and aks for clemency towards my , maybe , stupid question or maybe easy fix. The problem is as follow : I run Debian Stable but I am unable to compile a Linux Kernal from source. I always get that error message : Code: Select all LD [M] sound/x86/snd-hdmi-lpe-audio.ko LD [M] sound/xen/snd_xen_front.ko make[2]: *** [debian/rules:6: build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:77: deb-pkg] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1425: deb-pkg] Error 2 Then the compilation hard stop right there. It only happens in Debian. i have tried with different Kernels numbers and it is always the same error. I have compiled and installed the latest GCC 10.1 , same problem. Out of curiosity , I have tried to compile the kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 and the compilation was a success. I have reinstalled Debian and tried again, with the same problem again. Any idea pf what can be wrong here ? Thank you again for your support ! Jean-Simon | The actual build error is going to be "Error 1", and is listed before somewhere in the log. How many threads are you building the kernel with? A newer gcc may even be harmful--the current kernel builds on even old gcc versions like 4.9. |

Is there some other method to roll back this update until the issue is cleaned up?

Just installed Debian 10 from DVD 1. First thing I do is download Gdebi, build-essential, and linux headers amd 64. I then add myself to sudoers, and then proceed to download some .deb files. For this example we will use Ocenaudio since I have tested it before and is widely available at https://www.ocenaudio.com/download. Running gdebi on /home/USER/Downloads/ocenaudio_debian9_64_3.7.2.deb and then clicking on install has the window just vanish after about 2 seconds, as if gdebi it is encountering some glitch. Also tried it on other packages so I know its not ocenaudio deb file. I proceeded to su and dpkg -i, and it didnt work either Code: Select allroot@debian:/home/USER/Downloads# dpkg -i ocenaudio_debian9_64_3.7.2.deb dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin I was then successful after Code: Select allsu - dpkg - i <PATH TO PACKAGE> instead of regular su. I had to Code: Select allapt --fix-broken install because after "dpkg -i" installing the package in "su - " mode yet it still complained about a libqt5 dependency. Brand new Debian 10 installation (coming from Debian 9) and it seems I now have to use "su -" instead of "su" for everything now, What a patch! How do I get gdebi to work as usual? | dpkg will not resolve dependencies. Gdebi does but I don't use it and don't know why it doesn't work for you. For locally downloaded debs you can now use apt which will also resolve dependencies. From the directory where the downloaded file resides (as root or sudo): Code: Select all# apt install ./downloadedfile in your case Code: Select all~/Downloads# apt install ./ocenaudio_debian9_64_3.7.3.deb I have Ocenaudio installed here and it's quite good, similar to Audacity but with a cleaner GUI. Its licence is not open source though, more a restricted freeware licence. It was developed by a group from Federal University of Santa Catarina (LINSE) in Brazil. |

Hello, I'm on a new Debian 10 installation. I connect to the internet through a large wifi network provided by my apartment building.

I generated the above journalctl log by walking down the hall of my apartment building, and triggering an access point switch. Here is my interpretation: At roughly 16:14:30, I switch access points, and lose internet connection. In my system tray, the NetworkManager applet still reports that I'm connected to the wifi network. From 16:15:28 to 16:17:26, it seems that dhclient has trouble requesting the DHCP server for the network. I think it tries broadcasting a request instead at the start of 16:17:47. The broadcasted request is acknowledged by DHCP server 10.150.208.1, which is different from the DHCP server that dhclient was trying to request by unicast (10.150.68.1). An IP address is assigned to my laptop during 16:17:47. My internet connection returns by this point. Why are the non-broadcasted DHCPREQUESTs not acknowledged by the DHCP server? Are they going to the wrong DHCP server, and should dhclient be broadcasting sooner? I didn't experience any issues with DHCP on my last distro (Ubuntu 18.04) --- or when performing the same experiment with PingTools on my Android phone --- so I suspect it's on my end and not the server's end. I'd appreciate any advice to solve this problem. Thanks! Some additional information. I am on a Thinkpad T450 laptop, and my connection is done through NetworkManager.

Hello All, Debian Bullseye 11 SOLVED- This calamity was due to /boot directory out of space so old kernels5.4.x in /boot directory & 5.5.x in /usr/lib/module Even after doing an 'apt autoremove' deleting old kernels & the initrd etc,, rebuild routine,not straightened out. Deleteing the /boot directory ,creating new /boot directory ( which populated with correct newer kernel),, problem solved . After doing the routine apt upgrade and the kernel updated from 5.4.x to 5.5.x i no longer have a working keyboard or mouse at the login screen. I do have a blinking cursor in the login box,,but it eventually disappears after about 30 seconds. Adding, while doing this upgrade routine and running the intramfs complained of boot partition being full so done the customary apt autoremove to remove and older kernel,,,then the initramfs run automatically.. i searched what was also autoremoved and there are many lib*** packages removed. Doing a ctl-alt-f2 does nothing . Also I notice now the numlock key is on,were it was not before this update? Am using lightdm as display manager for completeness. I see nothing at all obvious in the Xorg logs or dmesg fails Also have tried both usb2.0 & usb3.0 for for keyboard/mouse completeness. Thank You | I hope you do realize ,Debian Bullseye, is not a official Debian release yet, it is Still In Development, and testing,........... maybe "the cat got your mouse !", You could use the back up you made , before doing the upgrade and restore the original state of your system,... Thank You Your welcome |

Hi, For some reason my keyboard stopped working. When I enter login page(using lightdm display manager) the keyboard doesn't work. but the keyboard works in boot(arrows work), and in recovery mode. I tried to disable lightdm, and then start gui using "start x" but still my keyboard didn't work. In addition I tried to install different display manager (gdm) but for some reason apt-get doesn't work for me in recovery mode. I am really not sure how to solve the problem, I really hope someone can point me to the right direction. If that matters I am using dell xps 13 9370,and I tried connecting wireless keyboard but that didn't work. Thank you very much. | rafyzg wrote:I tried to disable lightdm, and then start gui using "start x" but still my keyboard didn't work. Do you mean that your keyboard didn't work in the console (TTY) so you couldn't try 'startx' or do you mean that you could login and type 'startx' in the console but then the keyboard didn't work in X? rafyzg wrote:for some reason apt-get doesn't work for me in recovery mode.

Hallo, I'm using debian10/gnome. When trying to edit a new file in my home by Code: Select allemacs test.txt emacs signals with Code: Select all%% a read-only file and allows no editing.

Suggestions? | Please post the output of Code: Select allapt-cache show libpcap0.8:amd64 libpcap0.8:i386 apt-cache policy libpcap0.8:amd64 libpcap0.8:i386 |

Jessie and Xfce I started having problems with browser windows crashing and deleting cookies and such wasn't working. Then Synaptic didn't want to run, and I got "buss error" when starting it from a terminal window. I decided to reboot, even though I hate "fixing" things like that. It didn't work... I couldn't log in to my user account. I got an error about tmp being full. I tried logging in graphically as root, and was able to do that. I used Bleachbit and gained a little bit of space.... took / down from 100% to 99%. I can now log into my user account, but / is way too high at 99%. It used to be around 1/2. Google was giving my very old advice, and I think it was basically what Bleach-bit took care of... stuff related to apt/Synaptic. How can I knock down this root partition? | as root Code: Select allapt clean |
I am trying to find native software that does the following: * Records the desktop (read: Powerpoint presentations) * Records audio from a Bluetooth microphone * Displays an image from the webcam in the lower right corner * Has the ability to pause the recording and redo individual slides Any ideas? | I have tested several today, and they all had their small (or large) inconveniences. Vokoscreen looked promising, but I couldn't quite make it work like I wanted. Maybe user error. Maybe I'll settle with just the presentation and audio. Kazam looks and performs OK, so I'll try that. |

Hello. I've upgraded to Debian 10 some time ago and I've realised I'm not getting any software updates (at all) from Synaptic Package Manager. AT first I thought this was a repository problem so I modified sources.list file following this as an example. https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Exa ... urces.list Code: Select alldeb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main So my sources.list file looks like this Code: Select all# buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile' # Debian Jessie deb https://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free # deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main However, not only am I not getting any updates at all, but also I get this duplicate error: Code: Select allhttps://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/InRelease: No system certificates available.

Thank you | I think it may be because you're trying to use https, instead of http. On my Jessie system Synaptic wasn't even capable of using an https repo until I added a package. I was trying to add a repo that used it, for a package that was specifically recommended to me here, that's not in the Debian repositories. You don't need the commented Jessie line in your sources list for any reason.... Jessie was Debian 8! |
To install tor (browser) you launch the tor-browser-launcher that installs it. Where are the tor files saved? I would like to see the script that launches tor to allow the root user. I did before on debian 9. This is a pc with a fresh installation of debian 10. Message error: The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting. Lines to remove: Code: Select all if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting." exit 1 fi | Do NOT ever run a webbrowser as root!!!! |
Hello, Currently running Debian Buster (amd64). I have followed the instructions on the Debian Wiki regarding building your own custom backports, and have several times successfully built several packages. I was able to successfully build a Davmail backport (package name = davmail) from a previous version in testing that has since been superseded from the mirror. https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation Following the last rounds of updates, I seem to be getting two issues with making successful builds: 1. I can no longer pull from the testing or unstable sources [deb-src] without also adding the [deb] to /etc/apt/sources.list ; command output appears as: Code: Select all$ sudo apt-get source -t unstable davmail Reading package lists... Done E: The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources E: Unable to find a source package for in my /etc/apt/sources.list I have these entries for testing and unstable: Code: Select all# testing, only uncommenting SOURCE repository for making manual backports #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free # sid, only uncommenting SOURCE repository for making manual backports #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free 2. When building the package after I do get the source downloaded via apt, when building, the output appears as: Code: Select all$ fakeroot debian/rules binary dh binary --with javahelper dh_update_autotools_config dh_autoreconf dh_auto_configure jh_linkjars dpkg-query: package 'debhelper-compat' is not installed Use dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list archive files contents. jh_linkjars: error: dpkg -L "debhelper-compat" returned exit code 1 make: *** [debian/rules:5: binary] Error 1 According to APT, the package "debhelper-compat" doesn't exist, but there is the package "debhelper" which I have tried building with the Buster Stable version 12.1.1 and the official backport version 12.9~bpo10+1 . Is this something that can be easily remedied in the source of Davmail, or does this have to do with the devscripts? I am theorizing the build instructions are looking for something that doesn't exist, but sometimes these messages are more cryptic than they appear. So for #1, that just seems like an apt pinning issue, does anyone know where I can tell apt to allow SOURCES from Testing or Unstable without having to resort to editing in the actual package themselves? This will save me from having to edit the sources.list every time I want to download sources for a backport. I am comfortable pulling the source from other means if apt is too much fuss. For #2, is anyone else able to build Davmail successfully? This is an important package for me because they patched multifactor authentication upstream so we can at least get partial functionality via he O365Manual option until those developers can get the java issue for O365Interactive figured out for the Linux port. Thanks! -Mike Update #1 - So it looks like some of the apt syntax on the Debian wiki is somewhat depriciated. If I use Code: Select all$ sudo apt source davmail/unstable That pulls the sources nicely with my sources.list shown above. Still struggling with the debhelper build error. | Upstream has a Trunk Build for Debian: https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ ~2/3 the way down. |
