Thanks! Yes I did try Droidcam, but it didn't work for me. Since it's worked for others, I probably gave up too soon? Interesting idea to try it over wifi.

I didn't come across OBS in all my searches. I'll go have a look at that.

(Erm, help? Please!) bump.

(Oops. Thanks! Sorry :redface: )

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 running Bookworm. Kernel 6.1.0-6 I bought a lightning-HDMI adapter, HDMI cable, and and HDMI-USBc to plug into the iphone and the computer. I have True Visage running on the iphone to provide a video feed. Hooked them all up, but nothing sees any USB devices except...

sunrat, I tried the history command, but that didn't record any uninstall or remove commands. Bit puzzled. Maybe I did that part within synaptic, once I knew which packages to look for? The moral of the story is for me to take proper notes! I've been telling myself that for 20 years. var/log/apt con...

"I suspect installing the sof firmware and activating wireplumber were the golden steps here." Indeed. I bet you're right. As to what the files actually were, I closed the terminal before I made notes, and I don't know where you look up a possible log file. I'll be glad to look if you can ...

W00T. Success. Unfortunately, I was getting frustrated so I was kind of throwing commands at the system and I'm not sure which one(s) solved it. I'll try to retrace here, but I'm not sure I have it exactly right. I installed firmware-sof-signed alsa-ucm-conf was already installed. (Edited to add: I ...

Thank you all!

I should have installed as user? Nobody tells me anything ! I'm sure if I go back and look, there'll be a "$" before the command, not a "#" :redface:

Anyway, I'll re-try and try your suggestions, Frank, and be back.

Yes, running as root. (Well, sudo. I know that can make a difference sometimes, but not in this case, I think?). Yes, installed pipewire-pulse & rebooted. I do understand that bookworm is frontier-ish. Still, it's nice out here :D , except for the occasional bugs and creepy crawlies. (I started ...

I just upgraded to bookworm from bullseye (now at 6.0.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.10-1 (2022-11-26) x86_64) and generally very impressed. Noticeably faster and smoother and so far everything works very well except... For some reason it does not see the audio at all. Nothing. At least...

It's been a long time since I've dealt with this, so I'll have to look it up before providing any actual help. But I just wanted to say, like in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't panic. Your Debian is still there and grub can be rebuilt. The problem is that Windows refuses to see anything ...

Turns out the answer is simple. Finding it was a bear though. Finally stumbled on it in a reddit thread . My ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc had somehow lost the following line right at the beginning of the file: [ActionPlugins][0] RightButton;NoModifier=org.kde.contextmenu After a...

It's something somewhere in my user's config files. A new user has all the usual right-click functionality. So how might I go about fixing my setup? I'd really really really prefer not to have to re-do everything set up since dog's years ago. (I've been using Debian since 2007 or 2009. I did a clean...

Thanks for the suggestions. #journalctl -r looks like it might have useful info, but I don't know enough to figure it out. I'll try the new user idea. As you say, that'll narrow it down a bit. Alt-DS gets a popup for Activities, which I've never used (seems like just an added layer of complication f...

I upgraded, rather than doing a clean install, from buster to bullseye because I didn't want to re-do customizations. But it may well be that one of them is stopping normal function of the desktop. Everything works okay, except right-click on the desktop. It does not bring up a context menu, so I ca...

After days of searching and sort-of-blowing-up-apt (dangling broken dependencies :shock: ), I finally found something on youtube, of all places, by Amine Tech . Whether it works for you depends on whether version 6.1.16 is good enough, since the latest now is 6.1.18. The secret is that Virtualbox ha...

cuckooflew, the part you don't seem to understand is I did read it. Carefully. I do not, however, have the background to understand it properly. Since we're here on a user forum, perhaps share your understanding instead of your -- how should I say this politely -- amazement at my ignorance. And, pos...

This is not an RTFM situation. A massive bug has been introduced trying to fix a vulnerability, and what we need right now is a fix. Something along these lines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/GRUB2SecureBootBypass#Downgrade_.60grub2.60.2F.60grub2-signed.60_to_the_previous_versio...

after chrooting: root P 08/21/2019 0 99999 7 -1 I can understand the date part, that's when I gave root a password. What does the rest mean? While booting, if I remember right (I'll get it verbatim the next time I try booting), it gets to the message saying network is ok, then says I'm now in emerge...

The bad news is that nothing seems to change the message about the root account being locked. I tried using the device name in fstab instead of uuid, but it couldn't find that either. The UUID article is excellent. Apparently grub2 will use PARTUUID. I used Schroder's instructions from the article t...
