Re: "Invisible" dirs on Samba share
Not sure if I'm reading your question correctly. Are you asking why directories created in Linux are not showing up inside your "shared" named directory in Windows? In my experience that would be the default behaviour for Windows 10 Samba connections, i/e only one directory can be passed a...

Re: [Discussion] What change, if implemented, would cause you to leave Debian?
For the record, I'm liking systemd Yep me too. Makes certain things quite handy. Forced move to wayland (at least as long as it lacks feature parity, particularly network support) Not quite sure what you mean about network support. Most issues can be solved with very short scripts for backends and ...

Re: [O/S] HDD suddenly takes long time to mount
varied startup times of smr disk depend on the pattern of activity before the last shut down Very much true of SMR drives. They always will require reorganizing time after large writes, but it's that tradeoff that allows for faster write time on big disks running NTFS. It is important to remember t...

Re: Firefox ESR (vanilla Debian package) removed custom search engine
It's an unneeded feature anyway. Just make your search engine of choice your home page and new tab page in the settings. Both DDG and STRTPG allow you to personalize settings with a URL.

Turbo VNC has no sound coded in connection handler for sound service.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connection could be your issue. It's built to connect for high quality audio then video. Not sure how you're setup or why.

Re: Debian 12.4 | No ethernet detected
If you have another spare running computer plug an ethernet cable from it into the laptop port, then boot the lap. It should pick up a hot connection on the card as you have network boot enabled in the BIOS. If it shows up then shut it down and disable network boot to see if card then shows up.

This issue does not exist on windows LOL. If you have a decent enough spare Linux computer you can extract anything on a Windows system. Anything. Apple's is insecure in a different way through the user cloud connection. Itunes is a great hacking tool. I don't think so without restricting the user ...

Re: After boot the screen has purple and green tint
Since screenshots are correct it is likely this problem especially if connecting vga to pci added adapter. The weight sometimes separates the adapter.Did you check the cable (what type ?) connecting the PC to the display ?

Why are you using winSCP at all? Maybe just install an SSH server to the Windows system or use Samba?

On older slower more memory challenged hardware, i/e (core two duo and 4g of RAM and a spinner wih a swap partition) it can improve performance under heavy loads in conjunction with swappiness settings. On the other hand, I'm actually not sure of it's effect on big modern systems with say multiple V...

A continuing issue with nvidia and kms. I don't know of anyone who has a reliable fix yet. A lot of stuff that should auto-work with xwayland doesn't with nvidia.

My distro hopping ended with Debian Jessie.

The first output shows the files in red, which indicates that the symlink target does not exist. Is that the case for live-tools.service in your system? live-tools does not show in red but rsync does though it is not installed to my system either, again a common mirror tool.
