I’m about to reinstall a old Debian machine and was wondering how far we are with Bookworm … will it be released this year as stable?

how big is the drive that / sits on?

ive given 30gb for root

now i have 0b left on root

but system is installing updates

is there a documetnaion or something that might help in clearing up the space

look at the manpages for du and df

ok

Search for info how to clear apt cache.. the downloaded packages tend to accumulate over time

Hey guys, i have installed debian testing and then changed to sid, i have installed it with xfce, now i want to ask, Gnome-core vs kde which will be a better choice, i am comfortable with both, i have 4gb ram

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt clean

What graphics card what CPU?

Question: Has anyone had a USB3 to HDMI adapter with a VID:PID of 534d:6021 and a description of “MacroSilicon VGA Display Adapter”? If so… you guys know which driver this thing is using?

I know this doesn’t relate to our posts but i want to let you guys know that i invested little money with Mr Nonstop_income and i have earned alot.. This man is legit and he is really helping alot of serious people.. Please I’m sorry for posting here i just want others to also benefit like i did.. Please don’t snub this link

I have done some digging and there seems to be very little support if any for that particular converter

Thanks for looking into this… has there been anything on github or any other place that I can try and compile and try? Not really that important it was a cheap USB3 (sold like that but it is detected by Debian as USB2.0) to HDMI adapter… Just out of curiosity… it doesn’t seem to have a Fresco Logic chipset does it?

I seen one for arch but didn’t read much on it since you were obviously on Debian lol

Hello everyone,

hope you are all doing fine 😊. I was wondering if you may help me.

I’m about to reinstall a old Debian machine and was wondering how far we are with Bookworm … will it be released this year as stable? What is the planning more or less …

I plan on running it on a touchscreen machine for my Scrumboard and having here and there presentations and or videos running on it …

Looking forward to your answers.

Thanks to YOU.

I think Bookworm’s freeze is on Jan 2023 so we’re a bit far away…

Thank You @gnutechie bye the way where would I find this information on the net? In the case I’m looking for this kind of information next time? 😉 Thank YOU

There was a call for testing RC bugs from the Debian release team if I remember correctly… but a quick duckduckgo search with terms Debian Bookwork Freeze brought up the Debian Release Team’s Freeze schedule which you can find here: https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html

Hope this was helpful 🙂

Hello everyone
I’m making my distro based on Debian
Currently, I’m using the live builder to build the installer(the installer is on live mode)
But I don’t understand how can I include my binary files and add packages to the bootstrap package list in the debian installer
Can someone please explain this to me?

Intel hd graphics (since processor is Intel’s 2nd generation family)
Cpu Pentium B950 dual core processor from 2011

https://www.preining.info/blog/2022/02/kde-plasma-5-24-for-debian/

im trying to install latest version of kde using this method

but im a bit confused,

add a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs-npreining-kde.list
, containing the following lines, replacing the DISTRIBUTION
part with one of Debian_11
(for Bullseye), Debian_Testing
, or Debian_Unstable
:
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/plasma524/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2112/DISTRIBUTION/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/np

should i replace this like

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/DISTRIBUTION/ ./

to

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/Debian_Testing/ ./

or something else

What’s the KDE Version on bookworm? ANd do you absolutely need to have the very last one?

yes, its good to have latest piece of software

i cant find kde in backports

bookworm is testing, bullseye is stable and Plasma is at version 5.20… what does 5.24 have more than 5.20 that is absolutely necessary? Or are you just testing it out?

i just wanna try it out

ok fair enough.
