debian is not that hard, after all!!

you can install both if you want. firefox-esr for normal browsing and the newer one for some websites that does not work properly on esr. see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux?utm_source=www.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=firefox-download-thanks#w_inst...

I've been using xrandr using the instructions here, and it appears set up, but on reboot is not there. Using these instructions : https://dev.to/ksckaan1/setting-up-custom-screen-resolution-on-linux-permanently-1abg I have tried the instructions and they should work?? Have you tested the resolution...

are you using wayland???
xrandr works only with X
edit: I see in your first post you use X

the net install with kde is the same as the live iso. De-installing unused software is possible but not necessary. As I said before I de-install software with synaptic without any problems. I do not think that debian runs faster after de-installing the software. It would be nice if debian has the po...

I always remove a lot of packages after I installed debian kde. I usually do this with synaptic.

It is sometimes frightening to see how much extra packages are selected for removal in synaptic but I remove them anyway and debian kde still works.

Yes, you can.
Create one partition for debian 32, one for debian 64 an a separate data partition (and a swap or two swaps)
In both debian partitions you can create symbolic links to directories on the data partition.

Parted magic let you choose between 32 and 64 bits version at boot. So it should be possible. But how??
Ventoy is a good and simple solution but it is possible to create persistence but I do not know if this will work with debian
And if your usbstick is large enough you can make a dual boot system.

Yes, it has to do with the event files in /dev/input/
They have as owner: root and as group: input

pc1: Debian 12 Bookworm KDE X pc2: Debian 12 Bookworm KDE Wayland The output of the command evtest (owner root) is different on both pc's pc1: evtest No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event* Not running as root, no devices may be available. Available devices: /dev/input/event0: A...

I have an old toshiba laptop with debian 11 (lxde). It has a build in wifi adapter (Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG, firmware-ipw2x00) This adapter has always worked without problems. Yesterday I replaced the hdd with an ssd. Now the wifi tries to connect but keeps asking for the password. But the connect...

The mount rule in fstab works ok. The synology maps are automatically mounted at boot..

Before I used fstab I used a script to mount the synology maps. I started that script automatically at boot (in debian kde) but I had to write a rule for the sudoers file to prevent asking for a password.

I have this line in my fstab: 192.168.2.5:/volume1/data /mnt/synology/data nfs auto,nofail,noatime,nolock,intr,tcp,actimeo=1800 0 0 It mounts a directory on my synology nas to my main pc. Works ok. mount line in terminal: sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.5:/volume1/data /mnt/synology/data umount line in ...

Hi. Thanks for all the replies! As I can see there are many different ways to do this. But I think I found a solution for me with your help. I think I will go with a normal copy process of all the files I want to save on the external drive and take with me to Debian. Afterall I don't want to save a...

I would just copy my complete home directory to the external disk (if it is big enough) including the hidden files. After installing you can select the files and directories you want to copy back.

Krusader is a very nice file manager. You can easily run Krusader as root from within Krusader itself. (in topmenu: select 'Tools' and then 'Start root mode Krusader'). I I use dolphin as my regular file manager because it is standard installed in kde. I use doublecommander as root exclusively for r...

When I install debian I enable root so sudo is not installed
After installation I do: Then reboot

I don´t know if this is a grub problem.
I would install supergrub2 on a usb disk (download the usb-image from https://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/)
With the ssd installed start supergrub2 and then select the installation on the ssd.
Then install grub again.

You can try the following in gparted with your usb device: 1. choose 'Devices'- "Create a new partitiontable" 2. Select new partition table type ''msdos" - "Apply" 3. Create a new partition Sometimes it helps to create another partition table type first: - Select new partiti...
