Re: [Software] getting an AttributeError when ading the non free repo

Don't use apt-add-repository, use

Code: Select all

apt edit-sources
It should open Nano with sources. Edit the line to read as I posted above. Then Ctrl-O to write, press Enter, then Ctrl-X to exit.
Then do

Code: Select all

apt update
and you now should be able to install nvidia-driver.

Re: [Software] getting an AttributeError when ading the non free repo

nvidia-driver is in the non-free section which you don't have. Just add it to sources. You also need contrib for the nvidia-settings package.

Code: Select all

Re: [Solved] Trouble running second monitor off of integrated graphics

It's actually called "Fast Startup". I tested it once and it speeded up startup by 2 seconds but took 10 extra seconds to shut down. It should be called "Fast Startup/Slow Shutdown". :lol: Here's a good article describing it and includes how to disable it: The Pros and Cons of Wi...

Re: testing an USB-flash-stick 32 GB with the command "badblocks"

They always say that flash memory is faster than the old mechanical technology of HDDs. (?) Who is "they"? I have had several flash keys which are positively glacial for write performance. Some are absolute rubbish. Very few are as fast as even a modest modern HDD. I have a couple of USB3...

Re: [Software] Unable to update packages

Have you tried updating using plain apt? Nala is a new kid on the block and not default in Debian. It's mainly just a pretty apt.

Your anydesk error is likely at the repo end.
bookworm-security has no such issue on my system. It could be the local repo that the deb.debian CDN is directing to.

Re: Is there an DE that will show root in the file manager?

If you don't like the theme in KDE Plasma, just go to System Settings > Appearance. There may be a few offered but if you don't like those there are dozens of others to choose just by clicking "Get New Global Themes".

Re: Is there an DE that will show root in the file manager?

I still need to figure out the backup scheme for Debian If you are using KDE, it has a built-in backup utility called Kup. It's a front-end for rsync. Have a look in System Settings for "Backup". I use it for backing up HOME to a separate internal drive. I also use straight rsync to back ...

Re: Is there an DE that will show root in the file manager?

In KDE I use the MX Linux kde-rootactions-servicemenu package which adds a number of root actions to the context menu. Use the MX-23 version for Bookworm - https://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/r/rootactions-servicemenu/ rootactionscs.png Resizing made it a bit blurry but you get the idea. Full size ...

I hadn't used Virt-manager or kvm-qemu for a while so fired it up tonight to try out the new Plasma 6 in OpenSuse Tumbleweed. After initial total failure, I realised I had somehow downloaded the netinstall image for S390x architecture rather than x86_64 :roll: 8) After downloading the correct instal...

Re: [Software] Cannot log into root account

You need to explain better. What does "a bunch of software" mean? sudo group should be in sudoers by default. You don't need your username in there as well.
Does sudo show when you run groups as user?
You do need to restart for the change to take effect.
