Reported as a bug against linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 #1065320

The latest stable kernel 6.1.0-18 (6.1.76-1) appears to enter an error loop when trying to boot on my laptop. The boot screen messages scroll too quickly to see the 'start' of the problem but after a few seconds it starts repeating the following two lines: ACPI Error: No installed handler for fixed ...

Unfortunately, there isn't any real alternative to proprietary software and hardware for some workloads such as CUDA & OpenGL, and I can't see that changing anytime soon. It would be ideal if, for example, Nvidia's drivers were released under an open-source license acceptable to Debian but if we...

I think it would have resulted in many fewer views and a lot less anxiety

To delay the point release because of Nvidia should not be considered an option. I think this statement needs justification with regard to why the timing of point releases should be considered critical and thus cannot be delayed. While I think everyone would accept that the timing and release of se...

I ended up here as a result of investigating the Nvidia driver issue and the title of this thread resonated with me. As someone who has been using Debian since slink, on all my workstations and servers, I've certainly experienced a few breakages and accept that, from time to time, unforeseen breakag...

This problem appears to be due to the Palemoon browser I was using not being able to render the pages correctly. Firefox ESR & Chromium render the Bullseye Zabbix Frontend OK.

After upgrading the system running my Zabbiz server from Buster to Bullseye I found that the Zabbix frontend web interface didn't seem to be working correctly. The web interface opened with the dashboard but it seemed to be essentially empty and none of the stuff relating to my network that I'd norm...

After upgrading a test system from Jessie to Stretch I've found that the permissions on '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial' and '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial' are set to 700 for the _apt user every time an update is performed, overwriting my manually set permissions, with the result that my rsync based ...

Ta - I'll have another look; the last time I checked I couldn't find an option, but that was years ago. Sounds like it might be back in there.

I'm looking for a new web browser to use; I carried on using the old Iceape package browser after it became deprecated because, at the time, it seemed to be the only one that would allow me to set a limit on the cache size. <rant>The static content of the vast majority of web-sites is relatively sma...

Thank you very much BioTube - that looks very interesting. In fact, if the project survives it would be an ideal solution.

so you do have a question....cool The way to really configure metacity is by using gconf-editor. I am not sure it will provide what you want but that is certainly the place to check. A quick glance shows (empty) bindings for max/min horiz/vert settings... You can keep the sarcasm but thanks for the...

That wasn't my intention: if it works for you then it's an intelligent choice for you, but as it doesn't work over vnc it's not an intelligent choice for me.

Thanks for your comments folks. Re the intelligent maximise/minimise feature: once upon a time, long, long ago, when the Sawfish window manager was known as Sawmill (back when I was running slink, iirc), it used to allow you to not only independently maximise/minimise horizontally and vertically but...

I switched to KDE 3 when Gnome became too dumbed down but when I recently tried KDE 4 from squeeze on one of my testing systems I found that it was unusable over vnc and appeared to have caught a severe case of windozitis, with extraneous stuff splattered over the desktop and menus that seem to be d...

For what it's worth, after my initial posting of the problem on this forum, I got a crash on boot-up while I had a monitor attached and saw some references to the tickless state kernel feature. I've now recompiled the kernel to not use the tickless feature and since then (8 days ago) I've not had an...

Sorry - I've no experience with virtualised systems.

Hmm... On one of my workstations i.e. a system that has not had a firewall set up on it, from iptables -L I get: [codeChain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source de...

The file should be I'm wouldn't be prepared to trust an on-line firewall generator. Although I have no reason to distrust the people who set them up, it nevertheless seems an ideal way to comprise peoples' firewalls and plant a hole by which unauthorised accessed may be gained.
