Re: Debian LXQt ISO loads all unnecessary proprietary firmware even with firmware=never parameter

I just went through all relevant bugs for "debian-installer" and didn't find anything related - if you'd like to look for yourself check it out here - https://bugs.debian.org/debian-installer edit: anything before bug #103500-ish is before Bookworm's release so that might narrow your searc...

Re: Debian LXQt ISO loads all unnecessary proprietary firmware even with firmware=never parameter

...And with the LXQt ISO file, the graphical expert install as well as the text expert install did not ask me if I want the non-free firmware packages, they were installed automatically. I noticed the firmware=never parameter only worked with the netinst ISO file. I think this is worthy of a bug re...

Re: [trixie] upgrading libbpf1 requires uninstalling a bunch of other packages

aptitude is pretty good about offering more than one solution if more than one is available. Glad you got it sorted :)

Re: [trixie] upgrading libbpf1 requires uninstalling a bunch of other packages

libelf1 0.190-1+b1 isn't available in Trixie, at least not for amd64 - sure looks like this came from Unstable.

Looks like the thing to do would be to remove any packages installed from Unstable, remove Unstable from your sources.list, do an apt update and then reinstall Steam.

Re: Why is 'matrix-synapse' now in backports?

It's a security update - the CVE says versions < 1.105.1 are vulnerable. The package tracker says the package is in bullseye-backports, bookworm-backports, Trixie and Sid and does *not* appear to be in regular Bookworm. Strange.

What I see in the screenshot are all recommended packages and can be ignored or installed, whichever you prefer.

Re: Using dots in username

Usernames must conform to IEEE 1003.1-2001; legal characters are letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs (@) and dashes but the username may not *start* with a dash.

There used to be an issue with systemd and periods in usernames but that has been resolved.

Hope this helps -

Re: [Software] broken apt config - cannot reinstall gnome (sid)

You know, I think we just discovered an aptitude thing that everybody should know - that sudo aptitude search ~o above tells you which packages aptitude is calling obsolete because they're not available in mapped repoitories.

You could use

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude search ~o
Note that's ~o, not -o. That'll give you a list of packages you have installed that are not currently available in repositories. I'd check those :)

Re: [Software] broken apt config - cannot reinstall gnome (sid)

Yeah, I've seen that on my machines also.

Do you have any non-Debian packages installed on the machine? Maybe something like that is causing issues.

Re: [Software] broken apt config - cannot reinstall gnome (sid)

I'm not sure what's going on there then - none of the four Sid installations I have here are doing this. It's clear you've got a package installed that apt doesn't like; one thing you can do is install aptitude and let it do its thing - aptitude will offer solutions that apt doesn't. It should ident...

Re: [Software] broken apt config - cannot reinstall gnome (sid)

Try apt full-upgrade and if the upgrade still doesn't look safe we'll need to look at non-Debian repositories you have enabled - they may be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

But - if full-upgrade doesn't look safe don't upgrade!

I find that hard to believe considering the purpose of the double ampersand. The double ampersand will not execute a second command unless the first command exited successfully.
