Re: Amarok

Amarok (I was a fan) was great in it's time (R.I.P.), most likely won't be in debian 10 (QT4 still), I have since switched to strawberry

Re: can't connect to the internet

Because you never set the immutable attribute on /etc/resolv.conf in the first place. The OP obviously did and forgot about it or did not realize what they were doing, and only chattr could fix it. I see what your saying now, somehow I missed this "i" my humble apologizes labud@debian9T:~...

Re: can't connect to the internet

dhclient did not fix anything. Without chattr, it would not have been able to write /etc/resolv.conf. I just did this on 2 machines, installed debian (net install) went straight to sid, all I used was dhclient -r; dhclient, I will now do it on a 3rd machine I've never had to use chattr in my 20 yea...

Re: can't connect to the internet

I don't know what was broken /etc/resolv.conf was set immutable so `dhclient` (which was called by the dhcp statement in /etc/network/interfaces) couldn't populate it with the correct nameservers, running p.H's `chattr` command fixed this. Your interfaces file also had a comment un-commented result...

Re: Are there any Debian Unstable users here? What's your us

I've been running debian sid (and servers) for just about 20 years (most of us at siduction has) without problems (kde).

Re: Nvidia proprietary driver problem

DKMS will build the nvidia module for your system, via the nvidia-kernel-dkms package. Just restart your system to enable the nouveau blacklist. (no need to manually blacklist it) There is no need for a xorg.conf or to install/run nvidia-xconfig anymore. It's been like this for years (sid), but, sta...

Re: Nvidia proprietary driver problem

I really don't understand the way the wiki has people installing the nvidia drivers, it's such a simple process and the wiki makes it a mess and hard, it's not rocket science apt purge nvidia. (Make sure you include the period, this will delete all of nvidia blob) Get rid of any xorg.conf you have (...

Re: SOLVED - Plasma Hangs After Login for a Couple of Minute

It might also help to let others know (when asking for help) that you are running debian sid and not debian stable, makes a big difference.

I can get it to work if I remove xorg.conf. When having a xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I only have 2d graphics. If I remove xorg.conf I...

Re: Firefox 60 ESR performance issues

Have you tried after you disabled graphics acceleration setting from within firefox to also do

Code: Select all

about:config
and in the search type

Code: Select all

webgl.disabled
and toggle that to true

I have some old 2 core amd machines that run firefox nightly like butter without this setting.
