Shiny side out is imperative.

Another storm even more powerfull is currently active. Did anyone notice please this forum is somewhat slower ? Yes, but I doubt it has anything to do with the over-amped and over-hyped sun storm. Especially as no other web sites I visit are displaying any issues, those sites being in the U.S., Ind...

I am truly not an expert in this, or much at all on anything, but you can do a lsof /dev/snd/* to see which audio is being used. Your list shows several audio possibilities.

@Augie77 if you ever lose the Bookmarks toolbar again, press Ctrl-Shift-B to toggle it shown or hidden. Or right click an empty space in the tabs bar and click on "Bookmarks Toolbar". The topic I linked to above points to https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.0/ so you can test speed. Ahh...

One can also just download the tarball from Mozilla site, extract it, and run it from your home directory (or whatever, I put it in ~/bin). Download page is - https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/linux/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=support.mozilla.org I just did that with FF 125.0.3 to test ...

Got curious and looked at this a bit more. The problem may be related to what tool handles the file to be opened. If Thunderbird is set to "Preview In Thunderbird" a PDF document then Tbird cache is used. If a viewer/editor type app that is outside of Tbird is used, then it will create a t...

How do you know it is Thunderbird making the .part directory? I am on Tbird 115.10.1 and following the OP procedure I do not get the same results. Double clicking on the newly attached file causes the file to be opened by the appropriate tool. In my case, I attached a .txt file and it was opened and...

Xfce for me. It is simple and effective for my needs. The more fancier DE are nice with all the neat icons, etc. but I simply do not need any of that. I have noticed that on a different distro that people who used Cinnamon seem to have more issues with devices, gpu, updates, and upgrades. Of course,...

It is explained in a section of the Release Notes for Bookworm - https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#non-free-split Everyone reads the Release Notes before installing, right? :lol: contrib is not essential but can be useful. Touche' ... you are correc...

Thanks very much, I appreciate the link, info, and correction. I will mark this as solved and hopefully it will be of help to other members and site visitors.

I am not a purist, my OS should work for me, not me for my OS. I expect my hardware components to work as designed and with the most appropriate firmware/software that is available. How do I ensure I am able to have access and download all non-free firmware for my Bookwork installation?

Thanks

For better or worse this is what I have in my Xfce. I have read enough about the both that I am confused. I have sound and video that works well, but I have no idea if the audio is what it should be. dpkg -l|grep pulseaudio ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio:amd64 1.22.0-5+deb12u1 amd64 GStreamer plugin for...

urdrwho10 Uptorn Interesting discussion about Firefox and telemetry, particularly as Debian Bookworm has Firefox ESR. I took a look in about:config at the telemetry entries and was surprised to see how many telemetry entries there are. Any suggestions on what to disable in about:config to reduce th...

Hi, . . Is there a config file or command line equivalent to the xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts function. How/where are the <Primary> and <Super> keys defined? More generally, what exactly is xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts ? A file? A program? A key? I can't find anything with that name on my system. Cheers, b...

Wants me to join before I see the contents...I backed out. Never was that fond of Discord type forums anyway.

I also have an old Pavillion laptop sitting in the pile. That thing is heavy! But I remember dropping it, a very hard drop and the drop didn't faze it. Could it be that it was 25 years ago since buying that laptop? It hasn't been started in a long time and I think it is a Pavillion 5000 ZV or somet...

My guess is that Win 10 is taking a stab at temps and fan states. I have a very old HP Pavilion with AMD cpu and Win XP. BIOS won't support USB boot so I never did try Linux on it. I probably could boot/install from the DVD drive but I use this laptop only to prove my ISP connection is at fault when...

No doubt, the number one reason Linux users go back to Windows is due to quieter fans. <cough, cough> hmmmm...... You might want to ask why those fans are quieter? Do you have something set incorrectly on the motherboard? How old is the motherboard, does it support different fan states? Is Windows u...

. . . This wasn't in the guide, but I also disabled XFCE's display power management in this menu: . . I then logged out and closed the lid. Things worked fine for that whole night, but overnight at some point while I was asleep the system went into, I presume, hibernation and I was unable to SSH in...

If I understand correctly, you want to close the lid of your laptop and have it continue to operate, no sleep, no suspend? The 4.19 release of Xfce4-power-manager has this in the change log...
