Re: [Hardware] unable to resume form sleep

Nvidia graphics?

Assuming you experienced issues the last time you had your computer on take a look in the logs:

Re: Dynamic swap file

I would just leave it; it is not a bad design. Even a fixed Swap file only take a few gigabytes. Dynamic resizing adds its own drawbacks like resizing overhead and disk fragmentation.

Re: wireless card can't find networks

I have not had a Broadcom in many years, but my money would be on this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
or (if you made a root account during install):

Code: Select all

$ su -
Enter root password

Then finally:

Code: Select all

# apt install firmware-b43-installer
And reboot.

Re: 2042 unmet dependencies.

Try

Code: Select all

# apt-get check
This should check for (hard) broken dependencies and other package related issues.

If your system is working fine, why worry?

Re: Installing Debian on a Raspberry Pi
