Same on non-debian based distros, (I also use arch btw!) BINGO! I believe you have found the reason...

I can only express frustration and disappointment with a serious problem I have continued to experience with Debian based operating systems; Debian, Ubuntu and Mint. Yesterday on an older desktop machine, HP Compaq Pentium D, 4GB of Ram, AMD Cedar Radeon 2gb Graphic card add on, I decided to install...

Over the past few weeks I have installed Debian 12 on two computers that are over ten years old. One is a Dell Dimension E521 with older AMD and the 3.2 limit of available usable memory theoretically, 4gb of DDR2 Ram technically. This computer was bought at a garage sale for $5. I took off the Windo...

I personally started out as a traditional media artist working with pastels, oils, acrylics, tempera paints, pen and ink drawings, and bulletin oil based paint for outdoor signs made by hand. Did a lot of illustrating and graphic design the old way before computers, using rub on graphic letters for ...

They've just dropped OpenCL support for Cycles in favour of the HIP platform. Yikes. That's interesting and something I was not aware of. When I installed this Radeon card and opened Blender 3.0 in Windows 10 I immediately went into preferences and checked system. My graphic card appears their under...

I believe so, installed using an iso image burned to DVD labeled Debian GNU/Linux 11.20 "Bullseye" - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20211218-11:13. Picked up the package within the firmware directory of that burned image labeled Firmware-amd-graphic 20210315-3 _all.deb. What is ...

I have a computer with four different operating systems in a daisy chain multi boot configuraiton using two different partitioned hard drives: Windows 10, Fedora (Design Suite), Debian Bullseye 11.3, and Mint 20.3. After installing this graphic card XFX RX6600 I find only two of the four operating s...

I have several desktops going, all older machines some over 10 years. I have tried with other LInux operating systems to hook them up together using a switch/hub for file sharing, so much better than using a thumb drive. Linux Debian is the only operating system that I have been able to get file sha...

I bought a PNY Nvidia GeForce GT1030 a few years ago and had nothing but trouble with the graphic card, and I mean bad trouble. I really had it out with their customer support and even wrote a long detailed letter to their corporate headquarters about the problems that lead to me loosing two operati...

Thanks for your time and response here. Quickly looked this over yet totally over my head. I know how to use G-Debbie Package Installer, apt repositories, and Synaptic yet this is confusing. Oh well, still works good with Windows 10, hopefully in the future the program will be upgraded and useable a...

I've used Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, AV, and Mint. I have noticed in the latest versions of Linux that Amarok is disappearing from available package downloads and use. I realize that technology is pushing so many forms of playing music to cloud service applications. As an older person I spent a lot of ...

I have solved the problem and have Libre Office running properly. The solution was not exactly anything easy, reinstalled the operating system. Lost a lot time consuming work, forgot about something that was important on the operating system and did not move the stuff somewhere else. I hope this tim...

I have gone through hell on earth with nvidia and use with Debian and AV Linux. Their drivers never work by following instructions for installing and usually result in specialized knowledge of modifying a Linux kernel which is something far above my abilities and knowledge. I have written some reall...

I recently replaced an older Wacom Intuous 2 tablet that bit the dust yet worked on Debian 10 with a new Huion H610PRO. Works fine on Windows, yet nothing even recognized with Debian 10. Also have Fedora 30 works sometimes on this yet erratic. Decided to buy a Huion since price is a lot less than Wa...

Apology for my writing being too long, not an active user on this forum. Have used Linux off-line with no internet connection or communication for many years in the past, library use when necessary. Due to problems created by Covid 19 recently hooked up to internet. Anyway, tried your suggestions an...

I'm looking at a book entitled "LInux All-in-One for Dummies" 2014. Last sentence on page 117 reads "A user must have execute permission on a directory before he or she can open and read the contents of the directory". I'm not quite sure how the search procedures work with the pr...

I have used LIbre Office on Debian 8 and 9 with no problems opening the different included programs: Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math, Base. With Debian 10 cannot open any of these programs after installing the programs through the Synaptic Package Manager and also tried the Software on-ine option,...

One other point to mention here. The reason I would like to see Banshee and Amarok return to Debian is related to what I have mentioned in the above posts adding a memory consolidation circumstance for my personal use. I originally set up the music directory files with tagging for use in Windows Med...
