Damn, someone seems to be at a vastly slower time scale than the rest of us. Are you in a starship near the speed of light, or closely orbiting a black hole? Or located half a light year away from Earth? Hi! It's damn freezing here beyond Kuiper Belt. Half of the hardware have failed by now. Neverm...

Hello, What is the output of the following command ? apt policy curl Here it goes like this: ~$ apt policy curl curl: Installed: 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u12 Candidate: 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u12 Version table: 7.88.1-10+deb12u5~bpo11+1 100 100 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports/main amd64 Packages **...

Nope, this happen when yours attention is needed or package priority is not significant Well it's not safe to perform distribution upgrade without being fully prepared for such action . Same refers to 'apt full-upgrade'. So far Bullseye is considered as supported release. That's why I got confused ...

I've tried several days of manual 'apt update' along with 'apt upgrade' with no results. $ apt list --upgradable Reading package list… Ready curl/oldstable-proposed-updates 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u12 amd64 [upgradable from: 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u11] libcurl3-gnutls/oldstable-proposed-updates 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u12...

mdadm is for RAID. You may be able to remove the package if you don't use RAID. I don't think it is required for LVM. There was no need for that. I've no clear understanding but all the way easy solution comes from Ubuntu side: $ sudo update-initramfs -u and $ sudo update-grub concenquently. There ...

Luckily I had these hints to redo the same thing again as the problem with CMOS battery remained and have kept my 'UEFI' being updated with 'Debian UEFI' deleted every other boot up. By replacing battery with common CR2032 I got rid of RPC fault. Nevertheless after successfull 'UEFI Debian' setting ...

Just adding "sudo " in front of a shell snippet that should be run as root won't work. For example think about why "sudo cat /etc/motd > /root/motd" fails but running "cat /etc/motd > /root/motd" as root works? Last things first: May I solve your riddle in a way: sudo ...

Don't run "sudo for", just run "for"? It worked like charm! user@debian:~$ ls -a /mnt/ . bin .cache etc initrd.img lib lib64 lost+found mnt proc run srv tmp var vmlinuz.old .. boot dev home initrd.img.old lib32 libx32 media opt root sbin sys usr vmlinuz user@debian:~$ ls -a /mnt...

sudo takes a command as a an argument, "for" is not a command, it is builtin of your shell. I can't quite understand that. # for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done describes folders ment to be consider as placed in '/' while actu...

Hi all! Due to PCR failure my PC have lost something in UEFI and I haven't got Debian 11 installation but Win10 instead. One fine day I have lost GRUB from Secure UEFI and got only Win10 left. Luckily I still have LiveUSB with installation menu and could boot into the system to find out there's no m...

... I would say getting certifications really helps in some areas, in others the certs are worthless. I work in a field of very limited knowledge and have no certs for this particular task, the people under me have a lot of certifications but zero knowledge because they never really learned how to ...

My use history was: Mandrake - Red Hat - Mandriva - Debian - Ubuntu - Debian then I preferred to stop switch over. Stability. Firm support for reliable packages. Most of the software that wasn't pre-packaged into the Debian could be found online with original '.deb' packages.

To me that seems to be your router problem. For example: I had an issue with WiFi connection to only Android phone and nothing else. None of the solutions worked untill I managed to find a hint from a "SNBuilder" forum which recommended to switch off under "Auto select channel" f...

Anyway thank you very much for the job you've done so far! Great deal making it! No kidding!

In my case it's: kojibka@sheldon:~$ lspci -knn |grep -A3 -i net 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03) Subsystem: Dell BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [1028:0017] Kernel modules: bcma, wl 03:00.0 Ethe...

IMO it is a waste to not use the SSD for users' home directories.

What percentage of free SSD space can you recommend for such use?

This time it was very strange loss of network. I could ping my router and nothing else! I tried to change DNS to some well known common servers, tried to switch on a flag at 'Use this connection only for resources on this network' and play with Proton 'Kill switch' settings. Latest was installed fro...

p.H wrote: ↑2022-12-03 10:18 I guess all these LVs are in vg_ssd (for speed). What did you use vg_hdd for ?

As you may observe from the top post I do have a couple disks in the machine. The biggest 'hdd' is used for /home partition.

Well, for last couple of days there were no wired network losses. Until third day. Job is not done. Topic might be be continued with only question: what the heck has happened? Why network card should get lost in the middle of installation? And now it gets lost during normal reboot! I'm not discussin...
