Re: [Software] firmware package wifi centrino advanced-n 6205?

The wiki article you linked has your wireless card in the "Supported Devices" page. All you need to do is install firmware-iwlwifi from here - https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/al ... i/download

Good luck!

Re: DNS does not work when date / time are incorrect

The short answer is that DNS Security Extensions require a valid client timestamp. This article is a little old but explains things fairly well - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/10/new-attacks-on-network-time-protocol-can-defeat-https-and-create-chaos/ Hope this helps clear thing...

Unlike Windows, Linux is case-sensitive; that capital 'S' in the first code box above isn't doing you any favors :)

Re: [Solved] 528 packages held back. Cant build isos for testing. Not sure what to do.

Every instance of this issue I've seen has been resolved by doing a full-upgrade or dist-upgrade depending on whether you prefer apt or apt-get. I also had issues with aptitude during Sid's transition and a full-upgrade resolved them as well. The issue is that apt/apt-get/aptitude upgrade doesn't re...

Re: on the interest of using powershell core on Linux ?

I'm not a developer but wouldn't that require powershell core on any machine that ran these scripts? In the enterprise cost benefit would need to exceed cost of migration, on a personal machine I think you should run whatever you want ;)

Re: Debian testing fails at Installing the Base System

Those weekly Testing images are weekly builds of the installer, not the distribution and as you've learned sometimes tests fail :)

Re: Relationship between this forum and Debian User Mailing List

I do both but mainly just read in the debian-user mailing list. This forum has probably ten times the traffic the mailing list does.

Mailing lists are an official resource, this forum is an unofficial official resource :)

I know you settled on ESR but if you change your mind Mozilla's repo should be just as trustworthy as that tar.bz2.

Re: Is the Mozilla repository safe and trustworthy?

The version of firefox-esr in Bookworm is the same version that's available in Mozilla's repos. The ESR stands for Extended Support Release and it's always going to be several versions behind the current release but is up to date with security patches. If you would prefer firefox with a higher versi...

Re: [Software] aptitude refuses second effort to reinstall linux image

We're assuming dpkg --configure -a didn't resolve the issue. Have you rebooted since the apt error? "uname -r" will give you the version of the currently running kernel. If you're not actually running 6.1.20 you can remove it. If you did boot the new kernel you can reboot and select "...

Re: [Software] aptitude refuses second effort to reinstall linux image

Try

Code: Select all

dpkg --configure -a
If that works, great. If it doesn't work (and after ensuring you have enough disk space) try purging the package and then installing (not reinstalling) it.

Good luck!

Re: Error while loading mount point during boot sequence

That all looks good - the error 101 in OP means the network is unreachable but we fixed that with the _netdev thing and the share should have mounted. SMB isn't my strong suit, let's see if anybody else has ideas.

Re: Error while loading mount point during boot sequence

Okay, next can you please just type "mount" in a terminal window and paste the relevant line here? I'm looking to see which mount options were actually applied. We don't need all the output, just the output for this share.

Does the share mount successfully if you do a manual mount?

How can I get around this problem ?
Add _netdev to your mount options in fstab. That will tell the system to wait for the network before attempting to mount the share.

Hope this helps -

Re: Debian 12 updates are failing

You've apparently got Debian Testing repositories mapped on your system - are you running Stable or Testing? Testing is in the middle of a big t64 transition and what you're seeing is expected behavior. See if running apt full-upgrade doesn't clean up some of the mess for you. Moved thread to Testin...
