edit /etc/default/grub, set grub_timeout to 0. Run update-grub so the change sticks....

I’ve been running systems up to Buster and have always had the ‘quiet’ option in the grub settings to show the regular service startup messages (the colored ones showing [ok] and such but not all the dmesg stuff). I just upgraded a server to bullseye and there are zero messages being displayed now except an immediate...

If you are on the stable kernel and use ext4, do not upgrade to linux kernel package 6.1.64-1...

Hi everyone, so I’m having this weird issue. No matter the DNS and IP settings I use in NetworkManager, it will always generate the same resolv.conf....

I have an annoying problem on my server and google has been of no help. I have two drives mirrored for the OS through mdadm, and I recently replaced them with larger versions through the normal process of replacing one at a time and letting the new drive re-sync, then growing the raids in place. Everything is working as...

What is the best way to back up as much as possible of Debian 12 on my laptop to a server that has SSH available? I am currently backing up my users /home/ folder, but I would like to be able to nuke and restore the system from a 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?

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?...

[Solved by going to X11]...

I’ve seen different opinions on this. Some people will certainly be looking for community-maintained distributions since they are unlikely to undergo a change like this. In particular some sysadmin Youtubers (like Veronica Explains) have been saying that they are switching their clients over. But others have been saying that...

Everyone is getting jerked around by IBM and now Oracle adding to the drama...

Edit: Solved for now, going to use Flatpak Steam and Flatpak Lutris to automatically use recent Mesa versions from freedesktop-sdk....

No official announcement yet, but today’s point release has gone live. I just updated 112 packages.

I’m currently unable to install Debian using the latest netinst from www.debian.org/distrib/, when selecting any “Install” option, the screen glitches....

I want to have two DEs: Xfce & KDE. The Xfce I want to use as a dark theme, because it has the darkest theme I’ve found, which I couldn’t find anything equal on KDE. However in KDE I have Latte, and when I initialize Xfce, Latte does as well, breaking the workflow of the interface....

So i did my update today. Due to plasmashell being broken for me right now. I had to roll back, thank you Timeshift. So it got me wondering what day of the week works best for you all to update?

Hi, if you're trying to build lemmy from scratch, on debian (not ubuntu), and you're following this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/from_scratch.html...

Does anyone know when the new KDE plasma 6 is expected to be on unstable?

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...

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...
