Hello! I installed in my desktop Debian 10 Buster in BIOS mode, installed NVIDIA drivers from non-free repositories and system and graphics worked on perfection. To get a Grub menu with Windows 10, I reinstalled Debian 10 in UEFI mode, after tweaking the BIOS setup in order to allow UEFI boot mode. ...

Hello! Thank for your replies. If you prefer to reinstall Debian, make sure you boot the installer in EFI mode (the boot screen will be a GRUB menu). It solved my problem. I did an installation in EFI mode after setting the BIOS to use "Boot From UEFI" from storage devices. Kind regards.

Hello! I just installed Debian 10 "Buster" and bluetooth is working, detected and paired with my audio speaker. However it is not playing any sound when music track is playing. I assume - hopefully right - that the issue has to do with audio settings / applications not configured / install...

Hello! First, I hope that the issue is not approached in a previous topic; if so, be kind to direct me to the relevant topic. I come here because I did find not a working answer searching Google. I have two hard drives, one with Windows 10 and another with Debian 10 "Buster". Windows 10 wa...

Hello stevepusser, Thank you for your reply. Regarding the link to the laptop hardware, I'm afraid there is no information available regarding more specific hardware specifications. Anyway, one can visit https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/p-series/ThinkPad-P15v-Mobile-Workstation/p/22WSP1...

Hello! I just got a Lenovo Thinkpad P15v with a Nvidia Quadro 620 graphics card. The installation process goes fine, with the font size / graphics in proper scale. However, after the installation finished and when the system reboots, the grub font size is tiny to the point that is almost unreadble. ...

Ok stevepusser ! I did the upgrade do kernel 5 from Buster (10) backports and wifi appears to be working. I need more time to check how well it works or if there are any failures. Now I have to figure what's happening with bluetooth that I am not being able to swith on. Maybe another driver issue. T...

Hello!

First, let me ask for your understanding in the maybe irrelevant question.

Is it possible using a terminal and copy part of its output / content into a text editor or another open terminal session?

Thank you in advance.

Hello p.H I believe you are right. There is a file amd-microcode-blacklist.conf in /etc/modprobe.d # cat /etc/modprobe.d/amd-microcode-blacklist.conf blacklist microcode The strange thing is that I now removed iwlwifi from /etc/modules but the system now loads iwlwifi on boot, the point of all this ...

Hi!

The answer is to list the module name in /etc/modules.

Thank you.

Hello! I installed a network card on my system that shows in lspci: lspci | grep Network 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 2723 (rev 1a) I installed the package firmware-iwlwifi from the repositories. I got driver module iwlwifi loaded with modprobe : # /sbin/modprobe iwlwifi # /s...

Hello again, Indeed, evince is able to provide cut and paste text to an external application. I didn't notice that as it also depends on the the way / format the book PDF was generated, in order to allow text selection. Just for the sake of it, to install acroread - Acrobat Reade4 - I followed your ...

Hi, I am trying to install Acrobat Reader because it provides a functionality other readers do not: it allows to cut and paste text into an external application, such as a text editor, which is great when reading ebooks on programming and trying the code provided in these. I don't know if the KDE so...

It would be really handy if you would at least attempt a Web search before posting a question here. Try acroread debian as search terms at your favorite search engine. You will find that there is already a Debian Wiki page devoted to PDF readers. Your suggestion is not valid. The Debian Wiki page h...
