Debian User Forums

Ah, thanks. That's the information I was looking for (was trying to find with APT for current & testing versions)

A quick reboot into Fedora shows the installed version of bluez is 5.68-1. So I think that's a potential culprit. However, the official release according to www.bluez.org is the version included with Debian 12. No mention of 5.68 that Fedora 38 is shipping. There's plenty of verbiage about LE Audio ...

Thanks. That didn't help. Bluetooth is operational out of the box (pretty vanilla configuration, slightly different partition scheme; Debian 12 was freshly installed). The machine locates the Bose SoundLink without issue. What it can't do is establish a connection: it connects and then disconnects. ...

Debian 12:
KDE Plasma 5.27.5
X11
PipeWire PulseAudio
Kernel 6.1.0-9

Other info: MSI B550 Unify, 5950X, 128GB RAM, MSI RX 6600 GPU.

Fedora 38 on same machine:
KDE Plasma 5.27.6
Wayland
PipeWire PulseAudio
Kernel 6.2.8-200
FS is BTRFS instead of Ext4.

1. Stability. 2. There is no 2. I've been a Debian purist until relatively recently when I've started running Fedora alongside it. The only reason for this is that the compiler shipped with Fedora is newer and supports more recent parts of the C++ standard than the version shipped with Debian. Yes, ...

Hi, I searched this issue and it seems to have been a problem in the past, around 2017. It seems it's back. Long-short: Debian 12 won't connect to my Bose Soundlink (original, I believe) speakers via bluetooth. Fedora 38 running on exactly the same hardware will. I sicced Wireshark on the problem an...

I've tried changing the system fonts so that the context menu font size is not so large but when I do that all other font sizes in menus and controls, etc., shrink commensurately. window context menu.jpeg How do I get a consistent UX? Debian 12 Alpha2, KDE Plasma, X11, graphics via Nvidia 3050 (alth...

Yesterday I re-installed Debian 12 Alpha2: I'd been having problems with Nvidia drivers. While I was updating the system and installing drivers, etc., I was logged in via the default GNOME/Wayland option. I was listening to music on YouTube via speakers plugged into the line-out 3.5" jack on th...

Hi, I set up my (11th Gen Intel test) machine with 3 DEs: KDE Plasma, GNOME, and Xfce. These are the options I have when logging in: IMG_1472.jpeg I can log in with any X11 option but if I try a Wayland option then I'm dumped back to the text-mode boot screen at which I can't do anything other than ...

I think Nvidia is indeed potentially implicated: looks like the system thinks there's HiDef Audio via the graphics card. Output from dmesg: $ sudo dmesg | grep -i sound [ 1.835028] input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input5 [ 1.835059] input: ...

Well, that was weird: I checked journalctl for mentions of audio or realtek - the motherboard uses a Realtek ALC 4080 codec. There's quite a bit about bluez5 and LE and USB audio but none of that applies to my hardware (AFAIK). I decided to see if any output would go to the headphone jack. I plugged...

You also need non-free-firmware in Bookworm and later. The intel-microcode and firmware-misc-nonfree packages are from there.

Right. It's there by default now (on recent builds). So you just have to add back contrib and non-free

Edit your first post and add prefix [Solved]. :wink: Done, thanks! Disabling Secure Boot is the first thing I ever do on a new system. Same here; the latest BIOS sneakily re-enabled it. I wasn't expecting it so didn't check, but then had a minor brainwave... I will figure out driver signing one of ...

Hi sunrat , It was Secure Boot enabled in the BIOS that was the issue. It'd be helpful if the system gave an indication that unsigned drivers were an issue during boot. I did indeed follow the instructions to the letter, and had updated /etc/apt/sources.list appropriately with contrib and non-free. ...

Thanks! I found out what the problem was: Secure Boot. It's a new system and I updated the BIOS a couple of times. The last one silently enabled Secure Boot. I disabled it and I can boot into the system now and the Nvidia drivers are loaded! Hallelujah. I'm writing this response from the machine in ...

Hi, Newbie to the forum but not Debian. I figure this has to be a FAQ but didn't see it when looking around prior to creating this topic. I have a new machine - Z590, i7-11700K, RTX 3050 - and just installed the latest Alpha2 bits of Bookworm (2nd attempt). I followed the Nvidia drivers instructions...
