Alias is better thought of as renaming an existing command. A better way is to use your private bin to store your scripts. $ mkdir --parents ~/.local/bin My preference is usually to symlink from bin to where my binary/script is located, but you can also just place the script directly in it. $ ln -s ...

Can it be done as just an update/upgrade without reinstalling the OS and reinstalling the apps I installed? Yes, Debian makes a good faith effort to insure a clean upgrade path between stable releases, which cannot be said of other Deb based distros like Mint or Ubuntu. The release notes will conta...

Well, over in openSUSE where I spend much of my time, they don't have "su -" they just have "su" to get to root. You sure? Or maybe system binaries are in /usr/bin rather than /usr/sbin, or /usr/sbin is added to regular users path. su is provided by util linux so the behavior sh...

The problem: Many upstream developers also have a strange fascination with LARPING as a distro mantainer and will ship libraries that already exist in Debian. Basically always these newer library versions aren't necessary. For an example, Signal, I have seen this many times. All is usually fine, but...

Ideally Waydroids install script should add keys for you automatically for the repo. Please let us know what you have already tried.

Also, as Sid now packages the dfsg-compatible version of VirtualBox, we may expect it to be available in other repos as well, such as Bookworm, Trixie, etc. Hope this is the case. Seems the issue with packaging Virtualbox for Stable is Oracle is uncooperative on backporting security fixes/tagging s...

On Wayland I use gammastep

Yes... and will Oracle mantain their repo to continue working with Trixie or Sid? Probably not. Will Oracle ship libraries that already exist in Debian leading to breakage? Most definitely. Can Oracle be trusted not to allow malware to be uploaded to their repo? Who knows! Best to build from source ...

@scooper32

Welp, I can't see anything your logs. :( You could try rolling Trixie once driver 530 makes its way from experimental in hopefully a couple more weeks. Sorry I couldn't help.

scooper32 Nvidia... nvidia... Easiest way to use driver 470 in Bookworm is... # apt install nvidia-tesla-470-driver Which won't lead to dependency issues down the line. Is your "monitor" a TV? Sometimes TVs have a "PC" mode that is known to clear up strange hdmi behavior. If not...

If I'm understanding this right, does this mean that the "fake" integrated GPU is not being created by the driver or not working? Hmm, things are worse than what was once thought. Sadly my guess is not correct and is not related to your problem. Now I am thinking you probably use an HDMI ...

My guess is you have an integrated graphics card aswell. $ inxi -G Will confirm this. NVIDIA propietary driver has poor integration with the modern linux graphic stack and does not create a real framebuffer device at /dev/fb# like Nouveau does. If it sees there is no integrated graphics cards it wil...

Barujin I have a feeling you read partially through my post, and then you just stopped reading. Wow.The best example of a critical setting is Anisotropic Filtering. I gave an example of this: Sometimes it's nice to be able to force anti-aliasing or vsync or whatever, but there are workarounds to do...

No, I want a version of the video card's software that's designed by AMD to be made to run on Linux with everything being made by AMD, not Linux developers. Why do I need to explain this? So the Radeon control panel or whatever its called is mainly just a glorified driver-update manager with a sett...

The guide for using Optimus/Prime says xrandr output should be this That's not *really* what it says, you are misinterpeting it. The important thing is for there to be two providers, not the specific names of the cards, what you would say if you had an AMD iGPU? As you can see the output doesn't co...

Crunchy GUI, enemy of troubleshooting and creator of false problems!! Just some thoughts Use SysRQ to shutdown with: alt + prtscr + S alt + prtscr + U alt + prtscr + B "Sync, Unmount, Reboot". GDM is frozen, but why? # journalctl -b # journalctl -b -u gdm Might have some info on why GDM d...

If you are using a network mirror you can safely comment out the cd source.

https://i.postimg.cc/yNdWZPvZ/halotwo.png Here is Halo Two running on Wine 8.0 on Bookworm with absolutely no winetricks used at all. As you can see though it is the modded version, I probably obtained it through Internet Archive. If you have an actual retail copy, perhaps there could be a differen...

I cannot imagine how a change of desktop could be the culprit but I guess anything's possible. Wayland, or X? What desktop? $ xrandr I did the fresh 32-bit install and I have the same result. I can make it into a menu but anytime I try to load into the game it will crash and spit out errors about v...
