If it's working OK you shouldn't worry about it. Firmware is only required for hardware decoding. There is a slightly complicated process if you wish to go down that rabbit hole, see the Firmware section at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html Hardware decoding as in faster videos...

Hello, I upgraded my updated Debian v11.8 to v12.2 last night. Most things worked. I noticed this every time I log into (not before and at the log in screen) my Xfce in my sudo dmesg -T: ...

Interesting. No deb-src, eh? I rarely compile from source especially if no binary packages for those programs.

Like this since this is getting confusing? I will worry about the mirror servers later. deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ book...

https://pastebin.com/raw/uYpta9eU for my sources.list comparison. I'll do a backup, use bookworm v12's sources.list, time sudo apt-get clean && time sudo apt-get update && time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, reboot, etc. Will this be OK? I read https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/am...

Hello, Over Easter 2023 weekend, my friend and I replaced my 14 yrs. old Debian PC's mobo, CPU, RAM, drives, etc. for better setups like speeds. However, my May 2022's updated 64-bit Debian v11 (stable -- bullseye) installation has a long start up due to errors on the new hardwares especially in SSD...

Recently, my 14 yrs. old Debian PC hard locked up while idling. I remember older Debian versions (e.g., jessie v8) used to show blinking PS/2 keyboard lock lights (num, caps, and scroll). Does the newer versions not do that anymore by default?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answer soon.

I can't boot up MBP far with random errors. I used Rufus, in an updated 64-bit W10 Pro. PC with https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/11.3.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-11.3.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso, to make a bootable 8 GB USB flash stick.

Thanks. Hmm, I don't get anything in my bash prompt when I get new local e-mails.

I don't see a Mac version in https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ and https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/11.3.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/. I do see a Mac net installer in https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd...

In the older Debian versions' bash, it used to do that when I was in its command prompt. Now, it just checks when I log into bash.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon.

I rebooted to SSD, but it still booted to HDD. What happened and how to fix it? Cloning duplicated UUIDs. Possible deduplication include : - Remove or unplug the HDD. I would test this first to check that the SSD can boot on its own. - Delete partitions on the HDD. - Change / and swap UUIDs on the ...

I booted gparted's ISO to resize my HDD's Debian's drive to 100 GB instead of 320 GB. And then, I booted Debian bullseye v11.3's netinstaller to do a basic installation with its single partition with the same defaults like I did in HDD. I didn't install its GUI. Just the basic stuff for quick and ea...

That's all I needed to know.

You forgot the old newsgroups.

Hello. What's the best and easy way to copy/move my old slow 320 GB SATA HDD's updated Debian bullseye v11.3 to an old fast 115 GB SSD (going to wipe it clean)? Yes, SSD is smaller but my Debian's installation only uses about 8 GB. I installed Debian use the whole 320 GB drive. I will still be using...

Hello. I finally installed a brand new Debian bullseye v11.3 into my 13 yrs. old PC since my Jessie v8 was just too old and needed to start clean. I'm having problems getting arpwatch to start: # /etc/init.d/arpwatch start Starting arpwatch (via systemctl): arpwatch.service. # /etc/init.d/arpwatch s...

I see. Frankly, I'd just start nzbget in daemon mode, so that it always runs in the background. You'll need to make a nzbget.service in systemd to start it automatically on each boot. Is there any reason you need to see the actual download? You can transfer the nzb-file to the headless computer and...
