Re: Free firmware only

Isn't any free firmware just going to be in the main section already?

I await the results of how your machine works without any nonfree firmware blobs; there aren't that many that can. I thought they had to be special builds, like Purism did.

Re: SOLVED: nvidia-current-dkms and "RT" kernel

Liquorix is fine for low latency I/O for demanding audio/video work; have you at least tried it? The latest Liquorix kernels are not being built for Bullseye/oldstable since the developer switched to using zstd kernel and module compression, but I continue to do so for MX Linux by reverting to xz fo...

Re: Installing Linux RT without NVidia and Linux with NVidia

The first Bookworm nvidia-driver packages didn't build with newer kernels, but Debian has been sliding upgrades (probably security updates that couldn't be fixed by patching existing versions) into the stable repos.

First you need to figure out how and why these repo changes happened, and make sure they don't happen again.

Re: How to create new Start Menu Category and Entry with .deb Package?

Also i find building a .deb package pretty hard. You need to research this a bit I think. Building a binary package is very easy, you just run e.g. "pbuilder build foo.dsc". The hard part is creating the source package. Oh, jeez, how is a beginner supposed to know that first they must ins...

Re: How to create new Start Menu Category and Entry with .deb Package?

To install any .desktop files (or others) in your source's root directory, just add a text debian/install file with contents

Code: Select all

*.desktop usr/share/applications
customize as necessary.

Re: Latest linux upgrade 6.1.0-18-amd64 failed

Kernel 6.5 came from bookworm-backports somehow, since it's set at a lower priority than the main repos. They won't be automatic upgrades, unless you forced it somehow.

Did you happen to read the instructions for using the backports repo at https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ ?

A newer kernel usually generates more warnings for a given set of firmware packages, in my experience.

Secure boot is a setting in the UEFI settings, which you can usually access as the computer is booting and before it starts loading an OS, by hitting a hotkey.

Re: Installing Linux RT without NVidia and Linux with NVidia

Hmmm..the standard Bookworm 525 nvidia-drivers build and work for me on 6.7 kernels. We pretty much pushed it as an update to the AVLinux users, which ships with Liquorix as default.

Re: NVIDIA laptop GPU is always unused

You usually don't want to use the discrete GPU for everything, even on AC, because that usually makes the laptop way hotter than it really needs to be.

Re: How to create new Start Menu Category and Entry with .deb Package?

It can be done, but installing a system package in /usr/local violates Debian packaging policy. You look better doing it the approved way. Plus, the Debian packaging tools barf if you try that, and you have to add an override to debian/rules to allow it. (from our boo-boos when starting packaging fo...

Re: [O/S] Why, God, why can I not upgrade my OS?

It kind of makes sense, since Debian isnt rolling release model. But it seems like a huge pain to upgrade in this way. What I mostly dont like about rolling release, is that you have to upgrade all the packages when installing anything. Like when I was just running an Arch based distro in Virt Mana...

Re: [solved] What version of the kernel is available in unstable?

If your sound card still doesn't work, I would try the Liquorix kernel, since they enable more hardware in the configs than Debian. Or possibly you may have some missing firmware issue, but it's hard to determine without any info on the hardware. I've managed to backport the new Sid 6.6.8 kernel for...

One could look at /var/log/apt/history.log to see if you can see what might have caused the issue with that dist-upgrade.

And 6.1.67 was just committed to the Bookworm repo. Should fix the issue if the wi-fi works well enough to upgrade.

It's a known issue with kernels based on 6.1.66 and 6.6.5.
