Debian User Forums

Calling me a moron because you don't agree with my opinion is pretty childish. This is getting ridiculous and a lot of you need to grow up.... Just because I don't know a lot about Linux as most of you on the forum doesn't mean I am stupid and don't know stuff. You don't have to agree with everyone...

Kind of sounds like you aren't providing any evidence that these attacks are wide spread on every web site and everyone should panic. Bluepillmoron also doesn't even seem to have a clue what spectre and meltdown actually do either. Here's a hint: it isn't "let anyone look around their machine ...

Your initial problem was not being able to find torbrowser-launcher for Buster. It's in buster-backports: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/torbrowser-launcher Tor Browser still "comes from the source", but this makes it easy to set up. Please mark this thread [SOLVED] if that ...

The easiest way to do this is to simply download Tor Browser, extract it and you are done. No need to install it... Also it is the best way. The myth that anything not from Debian is bad and going to break your system isn't true(I am not recommending anyone just go and download anything they want t...

I use Intel myself, no complaints. Really if your computer is at home behind a router using NAT, most of these vulnerabilities are practically academic. I'd only be majorly concerned if running servers and/or enterprise deployments. You really shouldn't spread misinformation like this. Please give ...

You could just install mate-desktop-environment-core which is a minimal Mate with no extra applications and add what you want. Other options here - https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=Mate-desktop The package task-mate-deskto...

No it's not a Dell.

Hmm if it is somethign with the kernel I would have no clue where to even start to try and solve it.

I am doing a lot of web browsing (lots of tabs), inkscape, Programs like office. Not games. For this what should I do? The one you like the best. Just for reference i have an old 2.2ghz intel core 2 duo in the other room that can run firefox with around 15 tabs open, and a few other things at the s...

it is Is not: grep -R . /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities But it's probably worth noting that Intel's rubbish processors will doubtless be vulnerable to other side-channel attacks thanks to their laughable SMT implementation. The kernel devs are in Intel's pocket and so won't disable hyperthr...

The reason is a firmware/kernel problem. Sometimes pressing the the left arrow key will return the touchpad control when this happens but not always. TC I had the same problems with MATE and KDE. Ended up just disabling power management except for screen locking. Is there any actual fix for it or i...

Well actually I DO and DID know what I was talking about since no one mentioned or asked about using other software to make it work and natively windows doesn't know what an ext4 partition even is. Asking for clarification is not somehow not knowing what the op meant. I don't know why you feel the n...

Please edit your post to capitalize Australia. i dont care about the rest of your spellings, grammar or sentence construction but when it comes to nations kindly bear some respect. Thanks. It actually has nothing to do with respect. It's proper english to capitalize the first letter to the name of ...

I'm not a trollbot I try to make jokes and you idiots take them as me being serious and clueless. I am not handicapped but that is pretty rude. If not for the "we are superior you are an inferior imbecile" attitude in this forum maybe things like thsi wouldn't happen. Do people think they ...

i got this : bugs: cpu_meltdown spectre_v1 spectre_v2 mds msbds_only

Any ideas what i should do?

Stop using Intel cpu's is all that you can do if it worries you that much.

Do you really think not working desktop is cool? You will wait forever, with broken desktop. Your choice. You actually need to edit one file to fix bug. You don't need to install anything. And you should realize: there is no any Debian team for Cinnamon, and nothing is going to be fixed in any near...

I'm curious what "the click of death" is I have never done anything with raid before.

Instead of useless comments, you could provide solution: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495 Btw, you can wait... maybe forever You really think installing things that aren't from the Debain dev team is a solution? Or better maybe reinstall the whole mess and start over since it's tes...

@ theblueplll Well basically when I have a hard drive or storage device that has multiple partitions on it, Windows 7 will only show one of the partitions. The rest are inaccessible. I've tried using the built in disc management utility, but it just throws an error when I try to activate the other ...

While trying to be as nice as possible some of this may come off as me being a **** but it is not my intention - no splash screen see above post ... it is very simple to do I can confirm that much...have done it on several machines for friends or for myself - too many pre install games this is your ...
