Re: display clock recommendations

I don't want the encumberance of a bunch of desktop environment libraries, but something that is build for a lower level widget set. It is an amazing omission in one sense but if graphical X11 is the requirement then we need some kind of back end to run on like qt or gtk or ncurses, so going to ent...

Re: [Solved] Install VirtualBox or Virt-Manager

Maybe not finding where to boot from or perhaps trying to boot from the iso file You could check the boot order in the vmm - vm settings? Sound like booting from hard disk is correct and if it fail, the install failed. In case you did a full install with a DM and DE then use the vmm menu to 'Send K...

Re: [Solved] Install VirtualBox or Virt-Manager

Still the same black screen! When you 'Open' the vm you should get a window with a title "$domain on QEMU/KVM" Is that the black screen you speak of..type of? If the whole screen goes black, something else is amiss! If you are referring to a blank window, did you hit the play button? You ...

Re: Unknown process.. I cant find an answer on google, duckduckgo or anywhere.. "uas"

when i get a process i dont know if its good or bad, i want to kill it in 5 red seconds just to be on the safe side. That's the exact wrong thing to do. Regardless of your years of experience you first want to learn the many things you don't know, like from reading a man page, and then stop assumin...

Re: [Solved] Install VirtualBox or Virt-Manager

Appears to me everything installed correctly. Good Just to be sure, do I need to add user to any group, play with whatever permissions? Well I did lay that out above and my current answer is no.

Re: [Solved] Install VirtualBox or Virt-Manager

As with everything Linux the target is moving and evolving. The group membership isn't so necessary anymore, but a safe bet. Most of libvirt authority has matured to be within the polkit mechanism. I have used the libvirt group for storage pool group rights in the past and also isn't really necessar...

Since it's not Debian, it Off-Topic!

This is the kind of push Wayland needs. Actually many things in Linux need this kind of commitment and focus in order to become something. I applaud making a choice.

Re: [Discussion] Upgrading from Buzz through to Bookworm: Possible?

If the right hardware choices were made starting on an early i586 towards the end of Buzz's release cycle then I think it could have made it. As far as starting now with available repositories I'd expect a few gaps depending on hardware choices.

Re: [Software] Install VirtualBox

Any reliable alternative that is as good as virtualbox perhaps. It may be more relevant what you want to do with your vm's and on what hardware you have to work with. Ultimately, qemu/kvm/libvirt is a superior host for any purpose if you give it the hardware to do the job. Post edit for more ongoin...

Re: How to upgrade bookwork kernel from backports

I would expect the stable linux-image metapackage is still installed, and is expecting to handle the choice. If you remove it, then all kernel choices are yours.
