Next point release for 12.6 has been postponed (micronews.debian.org)
Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click
I’m using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don’t have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty...

ETA of KDE plasma 6 on Debian unstable?
Does anyone know when the new KDE plasma 6 is expected to be on unstable?
How is testing?
I usually switch to testing about 1 year after the release of stable. We’re about the 9 month mark and I’m getting anxious. Any major issues running testing? This is for my main desktop.
no Wayland setting in the login screen (Debian 12, GNOME)
I’ve heard that Wayland works a lot better now on Nvidia GPUs, so I wanted to give it a try. I’ve heard that GNOME wants to focus on Wayland, and that it is selected by default. BUT… I can’t find it. When checking the server in the terminal, it says X11. And when on the login screen, I can choose between GNOME and GNOME...
Debian 12 on an Inspiron 14 Plus (reddthat.com)
Just installed Debian 12 on a Dell Inspiron 14 Plus. I know there are those out there who are curious about different machines, and especially the Dell machines that come prepackaged with Windows 11 and all the bloat you can shake a stick at....
dd for image backup
I am supposing this will not work - simply using dd to copy the booted disk /dev/sda for example to a file on an external hard drive. This would not be a good back as too many system file would be missed. right?
Updating kernel 6.1.0-18 and Nvidia
Updating to kernel 6.1.0-18 with Nvidia driver installed, seams broken?...
Unattended upgrades - daily sudo apt update?
New debian user here. I’m using sway and have a script in my waybar config to look for upgrades and indicate if any are available. However, it typically doesn’t find anything because I first need to run a sudo apt update first....
Huh .... (lemmy.ml)
Anyone else having this oddity? Debian SID here!
LVM volume group offline after reboot
I have a small server in my closet which is running 4 Debian 12 virtual machines under kvm/libvirt. The virtual machines have been running fine for months. They have unattended-upgrades enabled, and I generally leave them alone. I only reboot them periodically, so that the latest kernel upgrades get applied....
Shutdown issues with 6.1.66 (bugs.debian.org)
Looks like there is another issue in the recently updated kernel 6.1.66 which prevents shutdown with certain WiFi modules. At least my laptop now doesn’t shutdown anymore and needs a hard power off 😐
PSA: Do not upgrade to linux 6.1.64-1
If you are on the stable kernel and use ext4, do not upgrade to linux kernel package 6.1.64-1...
Sudden strangeness in PATH
I have suddenly found that /usr/games has disappeared off my path. Not only that but my normal otherwise but sudo enabled user seems to have a superuser’s path?...
Compilation using make -j freezes the system
Hi, I am building the Linux kernel, with the following make command to enable multi core compilation: make -j. This ends up freezing the system and eventually some applications get killed (I am using KDE). If I pass an argument to -j, then system compiles normally. However, full multi-core compilation is enabled when no argument...
Docker, Frigate and Bookworm
I installed Bookworm, Docker and Frigate (in docker) on an older i5 Dell with a Coral TPU (USB) and an old GeForce 6600 GPU, the TPU and GPU are for use with Frigate frame processing and video conversion. It was working well for months and then I upset the apple cart by adding whisper and Piper in the docker for my Home...

WiFi question - momentary drop connections?
Debian 12 (Bookworm) My Wi-Fi has just started randomly dropping the connection and re-connecting. It seems to connect and pass data normally until it decides to drop again....
