A new version has just been released. I am running it and as of yet it runs great. It's 6.6.8. They also changed the way versioning works and it finally shows the correct version of the kernel instead of Debian's version (like for previous kernel it showed 6.5.0-5 instead of 6.5.13). Tho this might ...

You're welcome, I'm glad to be of assistance. You can also mark the thread as solved by adding "[Solved]" at the beginning of the title of the first post.

It looks like this could be the package that you are looking for? gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 Thanks, but I still get the error complaining about the missing dependency, even after installing that one, seems nothing I do satisfies it: $ python /home/cdb/Documents/Scripts/Syncovery /home/cdb/Doc...

I'm a KDE user since forever. I find Gnome 3+ weird in its workflow, but I can see it working on tablets. I agree tho, cramming all the stuff in titlebar is bleh. I hope KDE doesn't mess up with Plasma 6.

That is because one of the new features of GTK3 is the optional ability to have client side decorations (aka CSD). Here is a Wikipedia link for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_decoration I wonder why they enabled that kind of thing. I mean, it isn't as if monitors are getting smaller ...

Great tip, thanks.

How difficult is it to revert to nouveau, if the nVidia driver doesn't work out?

Code: Select all

nvidia-uninstall

That should be all that's needed to revert back

Is dkms required by the nvidia installer?

dkms will pull all packages you need for building kernel modules (which are needed by nvidia drivers) and also make sure that modules will rebuild when you update the kernel.

Any chance you could show us what package(s) you purged? Is there a top level one (to rule them all)?

Simply issue:

Code: Select all

apt purge "*nvidia*"

And make sure dkms is installed (apt install dkms)

First thing first, boot from a live usb system and backup most important stuff on a usb or somewhere. Reboot once that's done and select 'recovery' under advanced options of the boot menu. Once logged in the command line remove Nvidia driver and see if system boots. Did you install drivers from repo...

I personally don't like sgfxi. Used it way back when I was on Sidux, but nowadays I just straight install by myself the latest driver from nvidia, and it's pretty easy. First thing you should enable root account if you don't have it (sudo passwd root) so recovery works, afterwards log out of the des...

I have a 3060 ti for GPU, CPU is Intel 13700 K. For me the best combo is Xanmod kernel and latest Nvidia drivers 535.104.05 installed from their page (nvidia Unix drivers). You need dkms installed and purge all nvidia packages from the system. Install should be performed either from init 3 or recove...

The "no metadata URIs for vendor-directory" is for firmware updates. I disabled vendor directory, no more error. You can do so in Discover's settings. There you can disable the cdrom entry too if you're using internet for installing the packages instead of the installation media.

The exact same thing happened to me, I wanted to install from the live ISO so I would have the root partition in btrfs with subvolumes automatically setup for time Timeshift. Ended up installing with the classic installer on an ext4 partition and doing rsync backups.

sickie

Thank you for keeping us up to date. Anxiously awaiting the release. Right now I'm on Arch, but I will use Debian again as my main system and will do a fresh install once the images of the stable bookworm come out.

Yup, you're not welcome. Why haven't you left already?

CDBurnerXP is still around, a friend of mine uses it.

If the image had only data in it (omitting non-used space on the partition) than of course it was defragmented.

Wow, your Firefox beta's a real swine!

You can pause the scrolling so you can read the messages. I think it's CTRL+S to pause and CTRL+Q (or W) to resume.
