According to Debian security announcement no: https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2024/msg00057.html Right now no Debian stable versions are known to be affected. Compromised packages were part of the Debian testing, unstable and experimental distributions, with versions ranging from 5...

I have gotten my self newer laptop ASUS TUF A16 FA617XS. Using Bookwork with backported kernel gets wifi and keyboard working, but from time to time it tends to freeze and won't wake up from sleep. First clue would be missing amdgpu binary amdgpu/gc_11_0_2_mes_2.bin. Have seen others mentioning it f...

@Aki
Script would do fine, just that I mostly use it for stable branch so no need to check other branches in those cases.
Also search can return a lot of matches. Abused example would be searching for "apt" Which is why I went with alias in the end.

Sorry for delay in replay, didn't had time to try things In sources list added two lines, for testing and unstable deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware Found out there was no...

Hello everyone, Lately had to search for some binary for bluetooth rtw8852b_fw-1.bin, it is not present in stable branch apt-filie search rtw8852b_fw-1.bin But found it in testing firmware-realtek . Was wondering what would be best way to add testing/sid branch so I could query from there as well us...

While on college there were some Win 10 updates that messed up my system. I don't remember what, but it started acting odd and annoyed me so much that I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it. Somehow it worked, found alternatives for what I needed and I was done with it. To my surprise printer started workin...

Running Should print default configuration to stdout. Which you can then save and modify as needed.

Hello, Server I am connecting to uses outdated configuration that is not in my control. It used to work on Debian 11, but now I am unsure as to why it is failing to connect. Is there a way for me check what could be the cause of it? Looking around haven't found much of such issue on openfortivpn it ...

Hello everyone, I have a need to connect to server using openfortivpn, in order to do so I had to limit tls and security level seclevel-1 = 1 min-tls = 1.0 But after upgrading to Bookwork it stopped working, I kept getting error messages ERROR: SSL_connect: error:0A00014D:SSL routines::legacy sigalg...

The connection opened by openfortivpn itself (without network manager) is usually the default connection and therefore the traffic is forwarded to the VPN by default. You are absolutely right. Seems my issue was DNS not working. As I was able to connect with ip itself. Will mark post as solved. Was...

Hello,
Looking more around there doesn't seem a way to add those two options to NetworkManager config file for openfortivpn.

I am able to connect using openfortivpn it self (not over NetworkManager). But I am at a loss how to then forward traffic through new connection.

Hello everyone, I am having some difficulties setting up VPN for work. We use forticlient for VPN so I need to set it up. Connecting using openfortivpn is possible. It creates the tunnel and I am given IP address 170.30.10.2. And it creates new interface 4: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWE...

Ifupdown doesn't usually manage wifi devices unless manually set up. Failed to raise network interface message should be about ethernet connections. It is harmless message but can try to create empty file in /etc/network/interfaces.d and it should hopefully solve the error message. But it shouldn't...

If package is up to date, it should be enough to run
dpkg -V pkgname
To check integrity of binaries and its configuration files, compared to repo ones. Unless metadata in dpkg for that package was changed for some reason.

Another thing you could do is use dpkg itself. To verify integrity of packages
dpkg -V
Will check content of packages against md5sum. It will show you system configuration files that were changed manually as well. It works same as debsum.
To check if package is missing any metadata use
dpkg -C

There is a bug report on that.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=989493

Message is harmless.

You might have more luck with using wine on flatpak. It helps separate packages from system and prevents breaking,.

You don't have to worry about number of kernels, system will keep 2 newest ones, and rest are auto removable. So it is only need to run sudo apt autoremove Such is done in case newest kernel is not playing well with hardware, so you can fall back to older working one. As can be seen in kernel list, ...

Yes. Thanks.

Did that solve part of the problem? I have checked and only ctefx.bin is mentioned in there.
