Re: Evolution filter doesn't get carried out

Thank you for your reply, bin. I actually started out with just one filter condition. I added the others because it didn't do anything. The whole thing is meant to filter out emails I receive from a web link to an email address that has pre-set content – including my address in BCC. (I set it up tha...

[Solved] Evolution filter doesn't get carried out

I know this isn't a question about Debian itself, but since it is an application in the specific Debain stable version I figure it might be sensible to ask here. Otherwise I fear I will just get the usual reply that I should use a more recent version than the one installed on Debian stable by defaul...

Re: Conman can't connect to wireless if enabled on shutdown

I did install Debian 12 with the LXDE desktop on three other older laptop models (a HP EliteBook 8570w, a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 2528 and an older Dell I can't recall exactly) and encountered similar issues. Originally everything seemed fine. Even after some system boots my own wilreless at home w...

Re: What helped/encouraged you to increase your Linux understanding?

I wouldn't consider myself having learned very much about GNU/Linux. But I got as far as being the person other people around me turn to if they need help on their computers. (The one-eyed is king under the blind.) Originally I just didn't want to even touch Windows Vista. And then I ended up taking...

Re: Why do you use debian?

I mostly like the aim of stability and the fact that the Debian community is set-up without relying on a big company. Unfortunately in Debian 12 I encountered a few annoying issues with applications like Firefox, Scribus and GIMP I never had before. I don't know if this is just bad luck or if over t...

Re: Conman can't connect to wireless if enabled on shutdown

Thank you again. I am not specifically interested in using connman. I mainly go for it because it comes with LXDE and because my hardware is very dated. Therefore, I appreciate the lightweight desktop. And while I do like xfce it seems to be more demanding. In addition I am not very experienced usin...

Re: Howto install phpMyAdmin on Debain 12

I purged all database and PHP stuff for now and I am installing mariadb right now. I suspect it might work afterwards. But phpMyAdmin seems to include a configuration script for actually setting-up the MySQL-Server. But I seem to misunderstand the meaning of this. I might only add the phpMyAdmin dat...

Re: Conman can't connect to wireless if enabled on shutdown

It seems I need to use "connman-gtk" to actually start Connman. When it works it doesn't produce any output but if I start it after I normally switched off the laptop not stopping the wireless connection in Connman, I get this repeating message: $ connman-gtk ** (connman-gtk:1148): WARNING...

[Software] Firefox ESR starts often with totally empty window

Since I did a clean Debian 12 install on my librebooted Thinkpad T400s (before that I was using Debian 10) I noticed that starting up Firefox ESR takes much longer than I am used to and about half the time it renders an empty window without anything in it. When I then close Firefox using the GNOME o...

Conman can't connect to wireless if enabled on shutdown

I have been using Debian 10 with the LXDE desktop on my Asus Pro7AJK for years. Shortly after doing a clean install of Debian 12, again using the LXDE desktop, I noticed, that Conman couldn't find any network connection when I shut the system down while the wireless was enabled. I however can reliab...

[Software] [Solved] Some apps not applying system wide dark mode

I have been using Debian since Etch. I skipped the last stable version because I didn't get around to upgrade and so I went directly from Buster to Bookworm. (I did a totally fresh install instead of an upgrade.) So far everything works but I wonder what happened to the colour scheme with for exampl...

Re: how make sure not installing non free software? debian 12

I didn't try the kernel command line version since I am uncertain if I am knowledgable enough to do so sensibly. Hence, I would prefer using the option mentioned by wizard10000 later where I just can select not including non-free firmware in a menu. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this option when I ...

Re: how make sure not installing non free software? debian 12

You seem to talk about how I can remove non-free software after having installed the system. But I am talking about ensuring to not installing non-free firmware in the first place. This doesn't seem to be the same thing. It seems I will have to run an other test. Hopefully I will see the option now ...

Re: how make sure not installing non free software? debian 12

When I tested Debian 12 installation recently I didn't notice any option to disable non-free firmware. Do I need to use the advanced installation routine to get it? (I did use the normal non-graphical installer.) BTW: I use 10+ years old laptops.

Sorry for my late reply. I only now had the chance to test a live system. The fan doesn't act out right now but since the behaviour is unpredictable I need to test more.

Re: [Hardware] Unpredictable fan noise on librebooted ThinkPad T400s

Thank you for the tip sunrat, I will do that and report back. But I don't have high hopes because the noise usually starts long before the operating system runs. Now considering that: It might even start before I even see the libreboot screen. Anyway, I will test it. :)
