Make sure "contrib" repo is added to /etc/apt/sources.list. the legacy driver has a lot of depenedncies fro mthat repo.

Of course this would all be irrelevant if there was a way to do monitor calibration with the nouveau driver...none exists, that I'm aware of.

I've got a slew of old machines with Gforce 6xx cards in them and I attempt to install the older legacy driver, but lots of messages similar to the following: den:~$ Z apt-get install nvidia-alternative Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done ...

Which really has nothing to do with it being spyware. It's just now "well written" spyware. Hello. If you have evidence of this, please post it here. Not gonna bother since most of the 2024 herd isn't as concerned as they should be. The "evidence" is clear to anyone who knows ho...

Last time I checked, Canonical was still a bad actor with regard to unsolicited phone-home code embedded in their releases. At least every time I've installed it on a machine here, I started seeing suspicious outgoing traffic in my firewall logs, with no way to disable. Yes, I agree. Version 22.04 ...

They are calling it the best LTS ever. Just curious if anyone here even cares :roll: I for one am tempted to install in Virtualbox and try it out. Not I...I have no use for that pile of ...

You rock! thanks

I'm posting this here becasue the solution is something someone else may find useful. My e-lab is in my basement and my dev workstation is in my main-floor office. The e-lab has a Debian server that hosts USB connected microcontroller dev boards. STmicro provides a TCP/USB bridge application called ...

In Xfce there is a Workspaces>Margins setting that would maybe keep things within viewable area. Thanks for the followup. Unfortunately all the "desktop settings" only give hints to managed windows. For a full screen window it is up to the window whether it honors the desktop settings. It...

Here's an interesting one. Please read in entirety before responding, to facilitate only applicable comments. I have an old 1366 16:9 westinghouse TV driven via hdmi by a legacy GT610 nvidia card (using nvidia drivers, not nouveau) The monitor has no way to correct for overscanning. D'Oh! I looked a...

Qt5 is about as heavy-weight as I'm willing to go, I think that is as heavy as it gets! Just saying, tcl/tk is glorious. Tickle! By far the fastest to method to an end result. And mostly DIY. Eh...With a real lite-weight window manager it's not bad...and as long as I don't have to invite any gnome ...

Hey Yinz. (Yeah, from Pittsburgh) Anyways, I've been focusing on embedded systems lately and have built up a collection of rants regarding the particular ecosystems I'm working under (STM32)...but that caused me to pose a larger question. Are there any "very active" embedded system discuss...

USB is not a guaranteed bandwith topology. It is shared access, so other devices on the same USB host can/will rob bandwidth.

There is no good answer to this. If someone tells you 12 chars of jibberish is OK, then next week that will be considered insecure. Don't rely upon passwords as the keys to the castle. lock down your overall environment with multiple layers of security: network access, managed users, disallow remote...

FWIW, I would not use the cp command, but would instead do "dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=512" since cp is meant for filesystem operations, not raw devices.

Unorthodox? The computer field is made up of "unorthodox" and "whatever it takes to make it work"

Well, it was worth a try... oswaldkelso recommended a couple that are not packages in debian, but they are text apps, not basic X11 so no joy. Qt5 is about as heavy-weight as I'm willing to go, although there is some primal nostalgic satisfaction in doing something with X11/motif...it's been more th...

First, I don't want to debate the merits of different desktop environments. This is what I'm looking for: a liteweight X11 display clock that has stopwatch and countown timer functionality with second display accuracy. Not a toolbar widget, but something that has a real digital interface and allows ...

Forced adoption of systemd (now past tense, and I moved all my Debian systems to Devuan some time ago. I still consider that "close enough" to Debian though, since 90+% of packages are verbatim). Removal of support for traditional daemons where systemd has similar functionality (e.g. logg...

I've not played with it, but intend to review it now that I'm aware.
