Hmm. LXQT does like many of the KF5 base components as requirements. Those components pull in very few if any dependencies. Tsujuan did better job than I could in explaining LXQT's usage of them. As you can see from a previous post of mine, I was not looking in the upper left portion of sddm and did...

I was looking in wrong spot in SDDM window (in center to toggle icons) It was in the top left. Silly me.

When I start grsync via Alt-F2 (lxqt) it will not pop up the window for entering password (to NAS Alt-F) However if I start grsync via command line, it will ask me to input password in the terminal and it works. This occurs in LXQT and Sway (Windows-D) when not started via terminal Yes I know that i...

I performed a full upgrade to Bookworm recently. I had been able to choose between LXQT or Sway via SDDM on Buster previously. I can use tty to get to Sway and it is much more functional than it was was in Buster. I am looking for an easier way to choose Sway from startup. greetd seems like a candid...

A few days ago I just decided to change edit etc/apt/sources list from Buster to Bookworm. I had been looking at the suggestions and to migrate on Deb Wiki for my normal every two year clean install, last time - 2021 I added a ssd to my box. I did several of those items. I just did apt update and ap...

Replacements - Lxqt went with connman (connmanctl) . A lot of the code is from Intel employees. It worked for me in lxqt and also for I3 and Sway on atom cpu netbooks, netboxes. Just a hunch, but depending on your DE it could be more of problem to switch to connman than the solution. I did a quick l...

I appreciate the full wayland apps above. Will definitely try out phototonic, others ones I do use. I do not mind having X-wayland on. I am most interested in getting a clock on my waybar. If I have to wait a while for waybar 0.9.6 to hit Sid and someone backports it, fine. Or a different bar that i...

It never hurts to look at systemd logs. (sudo) journalctl -b -1 You can always use grep to limit search add something like | grep ailed (which would show failed and Failed) This article has been updated over the years. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-an...

Clean install of Bullseye to 2016 computer. I have it pointed at staying on Bullseye when it goes stable. Unlike install of Sway (or prev. I3) to atoms, I installed LXQT first. I then installed Sway. Problems solved, 1. no runner - installed wofi 2. No bar. default was for swaybar. edit on .config/w...

Almost a necropost - but what worked for me on old atoms was (on fluxbox, i3 and sway) 1. Add a SDHC - the atoms or keyboards or ... died before the SDHC's did 2. lvm was slicker than glycerin for install and manipulation if needed. Your mileage may vary (YMMV) 3. ncdu is a good addition to du, It i...

Install did not go in perfect the first time, probably my error(s) One was using default instead of defaults for fstab but the other one was when I changed to /dev/mapper/ as it seems to be default now dev/mapper/VG/LG is incorrect Following the exact instructions of /dev/mapper/VG-LG /BLAH ... fixe...

Thank you very kindly. I appreciate deeply.

2016 I went with testing and lvm (logical volume manager). Pointed it to stable when it went stable. 2019 added ram and a ssd. I did a clean install. somehow I ended up with 2 lvm systems. raunes and dbnbuster --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb3 VG Name raunes-vg PV Size <1.82 TiB / not usable...

1. apt autoremove fixed the problem. thanks. /boot is presently at 60% from 87% So if the kernel is 27% that would have taken it up too much. Might fiddle with resizing /boot some day. I guess the kernels are getting bigger. I do use apt autoremove a bit in sid, but I always check very closely befor...

A few weeks prior to Buster went stable I did a clean lvm install onto a new ssd. /home and all that stayed on the spinning rust on /DATA I have read the info on Planet Debian about the recent point release and also saw the caution for grub2 that was mentioned on Siduction. (I have an old atom netbo...

It appears for some Buster works better than Bookworm - testing. Recent post elsewhere. The poster did not say the specific changes he made after going to the stable branch in his "bios" https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,5165.0.html No, I am not suggesting you to not go with De...

Via Transitions I do not see anything in the near future.

Good question. I fired Calibre up in Sid with sway (experimental) on my little atom and I see the version offered by Debian is 3.48 for aforementioned python2 to 3 reasons. I used to use the binaries for Debian from Norbert Preining via MobileRead foum. He now often does it in Debian as you can see ...

I appreciate the input. Next time around I will give apparmor more love and look at error messages, ... But I need to sell my parents house and then theres work and a caring for parents. I removed (but did not purge) prior to this posting of sway in sid, lxqt in testing (both on an atom) and my stab...
