Re: Display problem with Debian 11 installation.

I'm having the exact same issue on a ASUS - PRIME A320M-K motherboard (Ryzen 5 processor) Were you able to solve it somehow? I have not been able to solve it so far, but I haven't spent a lot of time investigating. I suggest that you follow Sunrat's advice and start a new thread with a detailed des...

Re: Display problem with Debian 11 installation.

I did try text install or simply "Install" and "Graphic install" on the selection screen when booted from the installation flash drive. Both resulted in the same "shredded" screen. I did try EFI and BIOS boot, I have a photo of the result of each. I haven't tried live d...

The installation software boots up just fine from a USB flash drive, but when I choose 'install' the screen becomes 'shredded' and can't be read. I've had no problems before with Debian 7, 8, 9, and 10. Some info about my...

Re: Bug. Home folder permissions.

I don't want a distro where a bugs become features. After ten years of Debian I can say: Good-bye and thanks for all the fish. A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in computer software that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. The default per...

Re: simplest way to share home folder?

If the files are on a server, or just the other computer, you could mount it with sshfs.

[tongue-in-cheek]

Encrypting the configuration file will accomplish that.

[/tongue-in-cheek]

Seriously, wouldn't proper config of sudo for a given user prevent modification of critical configuration files?

Re: Protect a file from a sudoers User

I didn't notice any specification as to what type of protection was being discussed. Please forgive me if I missed it. In any case encryption is a simple way to protect a file from anyone. Not to mention that sudo can be configured for individual logins, allowing access to what is required and "...

Re: Quite pleased with Debian 11

I used Ubuntu for a while, but was a little disappointed with the lack of stability. Once I found Debian, I never looked back! Also, a similar thing happened with personal accounting software. Once I found GNUcash, that is all I use to keep track of my finances. Great stuff!

I disagree.
