Hello, PS When I first installed Debian 12, the microphone didn't work (the speaker was always fine) but I found fix for that; see here: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=797264#p797264 It is worth noting that the script that you used to fix your initial problem basically removes files from ...

What operating system? What kernel?

admiincomp if you have a problem to resolve please open your own topic as you have already been asked. If so, please provide clear information about the problem you are experiencing. Update: bizarely, it seems to have randomly started working again. I didn't even do anything, just used a different ...

Maybe it has something to do with the last update? (not from the last two days though) openssh (1:9.7p1-4) unstable; urgency=medium * Rework systemd readiness notification and socket activation patches to not link against libsystemd (the former via an upstream patch).

Hello,

How do you lock the screen? xscreensaver? other?

If you launch the following command in a terminal, does it stop while the screen is locked? If not, do you know of a more generic command that is causing problems? (so that it can be tested)

Thanks for updating your topic.

To do this, change the title of your first post, e.g.
[Solved] Use DoT/DoH but keep UDP Port 53 free on Debian

The hope now is that since I've already manually installed all of these myself from the Debian repo, future updates to these should "just work" and not break the appearance. There's no reason for anything to break, at least I've never had a problem. I'm glad you found a solution, don't fo...

Hello, I just did apt get install, and my bluetooth and USB keyboard instantly stopped working. :( Everything has been fine up until this point. apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade I guess? If you think this is the case, the first thing to do is to check what the latest updates were just before....

I would like to thank you @fabien for the in-depth analysis. I would like to thank you Aki for the much more than mine in-depth analysis :) The Debian Wiki recommends either keeping the permissions at 600, or using a dedicated file in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ with these same restricted permission...

What bbbhltz said: apt install libreoffice will install the meta package (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libreoffice) and doesn't install the libreoffice-gtk(2|3) package or whatever UI enhancement you need. Do you have libreoffice-gtk3 installed? It is automatically installed only under speci...

I know that this sounds crazy, but I just want to double-check: are you sure that you are not making any changes that could modify this file to 644 after installation? Yes, I'm sure. Also, I install using a (real) wireless network card whereas perhaps you install using a (virtual) wired ethernet co...

Well then it says (in German): "command not found". There, it makes no difference if I'm root or not. dpkg-reconfigure is part of the debconf package which is mandatorily installed. It is located in /usr/sbin/, you can test with $> ls /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure ...

I have tried to work out which installer medium you use. Is it the following file? https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso Yes, this one, sha256sum 013f5b44670d81280b5b1bc02455842b250df2f0c6763398feb69af1a805a14f If the above file is how you install...

Not a link but open port 22 and look at your logs. At the risk of sounding clueless, how does one do that? And I'm guessing it shows a bunch of random pings, not necessarily (or even likely) attempted intrusions. By "open port 22" I mean exposing your SSH server, and yes, I'm talking abou...

if there is a serious network danger, then i should change my password of course. But how strong it should be? There are lots of articles about this, I think this one gives a good idea of the problem: About password complexity: Are we fooling ourselves? However, I don't completely agree on the solu...

I'm reasonably certain that under bullseye (v11), I could sudo ifdown <tabComplete> / sudo ifup <tabComplete>. On bookworm (v12): sudo ifdown <tabComplete> does not "work" I just tested in a freshly installed Bookworm VM and it works for me. I provide you with the listing of set -x so tha...

Doing that produces the following error message in the language Debian has chosen for me: I was able to reproduce this error: #> LANG="en_US.utf8" dpkg -reconfigure locales dpkg: error: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) Type dpkg --help for help about installing and dei...
