Hello Im using Virt-manger 4.1 to host my guest virtual machines. On some of them I use only a console. In order to have a larger console, I changed the settings of all my guest vm's by increasing the vgamem with the virtsh.

Also thanks form my side @Head_on_a_Stick. I wonder why nobody asked this question ever before? @sunrat : sure this is an example to add another repository. Its of course a great opportunity to mess ones system up. Lot of people did this 14 years ago by adding ubuntus repos into debians sources.list...

Hello out there, I ask myself why is nothing mentioned on the web, since apt-key is deprecated. I want to get the asc file from a gpg key, for which I only have to key-ID. For example, if I download the gpg key from Kali Linux I put in gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys ED444F...

Hello out there, for quite a while the kernels block layer has been enhanced by a multipath component which has the same purpose as the network layers multipath: finding the fastest way for data to been written or been transferred.

Thank you all. I didn't see that I messed up the config file with the n options instead of keeping everything with a

• I already changed the screen resolution in /etc/default/grub which are now effective, after this action

Hello out there, I installed a pure SID system on a VM to have a test environment. On my main system I use testing as the default with some packages from Sid and I do this of course with pinning. I want to add the other repos stable/testing and oldstable as well into my repository and reused my pref...

Hello out there, I want to change the general screen resolution of the guest I manage with virt-manager/kvm. I think there was a virt-shell command to do that. The reason is, that I often install guest systems without a X-server and I want to have a higher screen resolution without touching the grub...

Hello out there, Im having a hard time finding some information about the Debian Build Server. I would like to setup my own build server to see how it works. Does anybody know where there is a document which describe how to do that?

Hello everybody, I use tmux in version 3.1c-1 and having the issue, that almost each time I make a reboot, the tmux session is lost. Im not sure if this is normal behavior, because a terminal multiplexer should kind of hibernate one or several sessions for a later use? So what should I expect here a...

Hello out there, I have the same issue under Xfce. And only if umount the external drive with gui! If umounted it with the console everthing seems okay. If I umounted it from the filemanager (Thunar) the whole system feezes down and needs a reset! It happens instantly, but not in every case, "o...

Hello out there, I just changed the desktop on my thinkpad from awesome to i3. And now I have some very strange issues with the screen resolution. Because at home I use this x60 thinkpad on a dockingstation and a 19" display. As long as I used Awesome as my Desktop, the display manager as well ...

Hello, thank your reply @mor, apt-cache policy gives me no information about grave bugs in packages, as far as I know @GarryRicketson don't understand what you telling me? I want to see if the packages which Im setting on "hold", because they are broken, are now without grave bugs, so I ca...

Hello out there, I using Debian Sid and holding from time to time some packages on hold, because the updates are broken. policykit e.g. If I want to see if there is an usable update I have to set these packages each time on install again. Is there a way to get information from apt-listbugs for packa...

Hello vbrummond,
