Debian User Forums

I use an old BQ Aquaris Pro, which was released in 2017 but which has received no updates beyond Android 8 and the company is no longer in the mobile phone business, so, rather than fork out money for a new phone, I installed e-os on it and it now runs a “deGoogled” version 11 of Android OS. It work...

Some, otherwise educated(?), websites say "based on Debian". They should know better. I agree but one can't say they should know better since the Debian website itself says it: Debian derivatives There are a number of distributions based on Debian. Some people might want to take a look at...

I'd simply call it "Sid and testing, for experienced users". Or perhaps, "Sid and testing, for advanced users". It might deter some newbies from jumping in the deep end. But who knows? In general, the lower the post count, the greater the likelihood sid & testing will be chos...

If you search online for "chat control EU" you'll find critical texts from all over the political spectrum, not just the extreme right like Breitbart. It obviously depends on the search engine: I tried a Google search for "chat control EU" and didn't get anything at all about Br...

So, I did a search and saw this at mullvad.net/en/blog:
"EU chat control law will ban open source operating systems"
If this is the case then Debian should, in my view, issue an official statement to oppose and protest the proposed law.

Since Debian 4 "Etch" came out back in 2007 & I joined this place a year later. And I've used all stable versions since then. Reminds me of a poll I posted here , in 2012, to ask, "What was your first Debian release? It's been a long time & it's nice to see other old-timers ar...

Not enough people have answered this poll to give any useful statistical data (reliability). The problem still stands - how can we find out what non-forum resources new members use the most? Any ideas? If I may be permitted a tongue-in-cheek comment? Maybe the survey should have been posted in Sid'...

I checked and see that the flag of the glorious Klingon Empire doesn't appear along with all the other users' flags at the foot of the page. Neither does the glorious Wales dragon flag for that matter.
How about adding an inglorious Jolly Roger flag?

haha, a lot more work though. I can't even handle all the nonsense from one profile. To your credit a few years ago I got a bad extension, dumped point. To your credit a few years ago I got a bad extension, dumped everything and started a new profile. So not a horrible idea either. :) Having more t...

Hi,
In firefox, my solution is to create more profiles!
about:profiles

This page helps you to manage your profiles. Each profile is a separate world which contains separate history, bookmarks, settings and add-ons.

Be sure to have an about:profiles bookmark so you can switch profiles easily.

Hi
I reckon it's not possible.
Regarding the battery you could have it replaced. I recently had a new battery put in an old S7 device.
I think your best best bet would be to install /e/os on it assuming it's Exynos.

Well, thanks for posting the article but, having read and re-read it, I find myself at a bit of a loss to understand what possible interest it might have for forum members.

Hi,
Start afresh with: To reset the panel configuration to the default setting?

Hi,
Your inxi command shows:
Distro: LMDE 5 Elsie?
So you're not using Debian.

I recall reading somewhere that this black & yellow colour scheme occurs not only in hornets and wasps but in quite a few other creatures, like, for example, the deadly yellow-banded poison dart frog and the banded krait snake as a warning to possible predators. But—hey—maybe this and calling it...

Hi there,
Great. My nationality is UK but I've lived most of my life in Spain; however, I'll choose the Welsh flag because, besides the language, I like the dragon,

Hi,
After login I get an "Information: Please take a moment and visit your profile to choose a flag" pop-up.
The chosen flag is for my nationality, my location or may I choose any flag I like?

Certainly a welcome addition to the DUF team.
@Hallvor: Congrats.
When I have time, I'll definitely contribute a "howto" to the section.
Cheers!

I see today that firefox-esr gets upgraded on my stable system: firefox-esr/stable-security 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1 amd64 [upgradable from: 91.13.0esr-1~deb11u1] 8) I don't give a damn but If sites complain your firefox is not the latest, which can happen with firefox-esr over time, might not changing ...

I look forward to a vast diminution of posts regarding "x hardware doesn't work after installing Debian". So non-free firmware may be enabled automatically, without user intervention as in, for example, Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE); all very pragmatic and "user-friendly" no ...
