My 2c, I can't tell the difference. I can easily edit what runs to stop things I don't require with Openrc. But I have no technical knowledge of the differences.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to acknowledge what the governments keep secret, using software and devices to surveil the populace for threats the private sector is using as human management tools to track efficency. Big Brother is already here, slowly, sometimes quickly removing our freedom of choice.

Absolutely! But there's been a shake up lately, no more jazz show sundy morn... but plenty of new shows coming through.

Hi, I'm using linux-image 5.9 kernel and the nvidia proprietary driver is installed as well.
Kernel 5.9 also doesn't work with NVIDIA blobs...

#636 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Obmenu-generator problem » 2020-12-06 03:11:38
Hi, What are the permissions for the location "/home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator"?
maybe the installer has left the permission to write as root or admin only.
if so, you could try as root to make the location available to write by the user groucho with
chown -hR groucho:groucho /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generatorand
chmod -R 755 /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generatorThen try again.
I hope this helps. :-)
#637 Re: Other Issues » Does apt switch to mirrors automatically when performing an upgrade? » 2020-12-02 22:13:46
The only time I have trouble connecting to the/a mirror is when the repos are being updated, just recently like for kernel 5.9 :-), But I check nearly everyday and notice sometimes for a few days at most the repo is unreachable. When this happens I switch to the main one and not the local mirror for a while.

if you use the meta (package) you'll need the version specific (package) too.

I don't know about FreeBSD but for OpenBSD you just need to create a partition of type a6 (in fdisk) or a600 (in gdisk) and the installer recognises it and offers to just use that and leave the other partitions alone.

You will still need "non-free" enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list for kde/plasma. Just append the string to the end of the uncommented lines... :-)
golinux wrote:As HoaS Asked earlier . . . do you have "non-free" enabled in your sources.list?
I think I asked somewhere else about this too - If I add "non-free" sources, am I effectively adding proprietary blobs? If so I will just remove Cinnamon DE - I'm getting into the KDE groove at present.

I extract .deb's with the right mouse button menu dialog using Dolphin file manager, It allows me to check out all the parts if I am having trouble, especially when the bin file gets put in a distant galaxy. or something is deleted when I don't know why.

How about autoselecting the non-HDMI output for "non-"laptops? ALSA doesn't do that.
I have not been able to get non-pulse working that will work in any web-browser, vlc, clementine and system sounds reliably.
But I'll test it from time to time to check.

Yes there is a usb3.0 hub.
lsusb ... (snipette)
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hubYou may require a newer "kernel" and "firmware" from backports for the devices of your motherboard.
This usb3 read out from my box is running on kernel
5.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.8.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-09-26) x86_64 GNU/LinuxAlso the microcode for AMD64 processors may help too.
I think you can put the module for wifi on a separate memory stick for use during the install process but I can't remember how I did it when I was using Devuan ascii2.1 and upgrading to Devuan Beowulf3.0.
I also used the git download and install linux-firmware method shared in the other post.
I hope this helps you.
#648 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Freeze at startup probably caused by nvidia driver » 2020-10-24 20:48:31
Like Lars H said,
Hi
With Nvidia I have for several years just used the open nouveau drivers. And have had just a few problems. Off course with your card it requires a backported kernel. In the last year development have been more active than before.
Have a nice day
Lars H
With new hardware you want to be using the "backports" package repository for kernel 5.8, firmware and nvidia (try the nouveau driver first then upgrade for cuda).

Note that the kernel module will have to be rebuilt manually every time the kernel is updated. The nvidia-driver package in the repositories will do this automatically via DKMS (v450.66 is currently available from beowulf-backports).
The nvidia installer gives you an option to build with dkms support. :-) to aid when upgrading the kernel.
