I am trying to rip a CD to flac using K3b. Looking through the plugin options flac is not listed. Does this mean it is not available for K3b or m I missing something?

Hi Steve,
Not had chance as I was also wrestling with a failing drive on another machine. Will look at KeepassXC tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up.

The errors I reported earlier are not actually due to keepassxc installation but an underlying problem in my initial setup for this machine, Much has been lost in the cloud of my memory but when I set up Debian I used a wizard and it appears the configuration was not what I usually employ of 40GB fo...

Either move /boot to the root partition or remove some old kernels. Is your root partition encrypted? If so then I think you'll have to reconfigure GRUB to get it working with an encrypted /boot partition. Ask the interweb about that because I have no idea. Use this to check which kernel ABI versio...

I am not sure what I am looking at and it seems that from the outset I have made a mistake with my hardware configuration. This is what I have:- alastair@x3400debian:~$ sudo sfdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 2.7 TiB, 2996997980160 bytes, 5853511680 sectors Disk model: ServeRAID M5014 Units: sectors of 1 * 51...

You are correct. This is what I have:- alastair@x3400debian:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.6G 9.5M 1.6G 1% /run /dev/mapper/x3400debian--vg-root 23G 6.9G 15G 32% / tmpfs 7.9G 27M 7.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9...

Running Debian GNU/Linux 10 with KDE Plasma Version 5.14.5, KDE Framework Version 5.54.0, Qt Version 5.11.3 with kernel 4.19.0-14-amd64. I have been getting notices from my installation of Keepass that it is out of date so first went to check with synaptic. All seemed OK but I thought I would re-ins...

Hi and many thanks for the help. I had no intention of snubbing your advice on backports, it is just that I intended to upgrade anyhow and the absence of the application from the main repo site was just a further incentive. I see you work on MX. I still use Antix on my old laptop so may need some he...

OK so now I have Debian 10 installed and KeePassXC from repo so all is good.
The upgrade was fun too!

OK, on further reading I have found the command given was slightly in error but I think my problem is that I now need to change to Debian 10 as it appears the package I was looking for is not in Debian 9. I am therefore upgrading to Buster. Will report results in due course. Meanwhile many thanks fo...

I see 2.3.4+dfsg1-1 Have you recently done, AS ROOT apt update && apt full upgrade ? That is a good point. I am currently running Debian 9 and have only used: sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade Just tried your full command and this is what I received:- [sudo] password for alastair: Ign:1 ...

Try the search function at the top left.

I searched for keepassxc but am only offered keepassx 2.0.3-1

I couldn't find keepassxc using synaptic package manager. I was only offered keepassx so I am trying to install the keepassxc snap package. This is my first attempt at installing and using snap so I may have made a mistake but all appeared to be OK until the last message:- alastair@x3400debian:~$ su...

I thought my original question was clear. I am not familiar with Debian and only have my experience on openSUSE (used since 2008) with which to compare. I was seeking help setting up the printers on a backup system which is running Debian and not used before for printing. I was comparing the results...

So, let me get this straight, You're whining about test printouts that are different on different systems, My advise is to use openSUSE and spend some time at your local library researching your problem. I think the word you are looking for is "advice" and I am sorry I didn't explain more...

A sad tale I am having to set up and use a spare machine pending delivery of replacement hard drives. The spare machine is running Debian 9 with KDE desktop and all three printers on the lan are HP devices of different vintages. When I print a test page with the newest printer which is a monochrome ...

Thanks for that. Mostly backed up but some not, mainly transient and profiles. Are you able to help with my questions or just...

Hi and thanks for the links. A bit above my head but helpful. Further reading earlier suggests that the problem may indeed be partly my fault as it is possible my root partition is totally full. I have not yet worked out why my Debian system has given problems but the openSUSE is down probably due t...

Understood and PEBKAC is not entirely a foreign problem! In this case and what prompted my message was that I have been unsettled by sudden and unexplained problems with similar symptoms on two almost identical machines (IBM X3400 M3 servers) one running openSUSE Leap 15.0 and the other Debian 9. Bo...

New user having had to return to my old, stable and reliable Debian 9 system which was resting for a while when I was working on another machine with openSUSE Leap 15.0 installed. Both machines are running KDE desktops. My openSUSE machine suddenly started to exhibit weird behaviour until I could no...
