Re: Issue installing Firefox from Mozilla repo

The firefox-esr package of Debian includes a script /usr/bin/firefox that calls firefox.real if available and firefox-esr if not. Also it has a preinstall script that tells dpkg to rename /usr/bin/firefox from other packages to /usr/bin/firefox.real. If firefox-esr is installed vom Debian sources a...

Re: [Python] selenium webdriver help

Yup, thanks for responding. One thing that I tried last night was to include the path to the binary. While it didn't resolve the issue, it did produce a different error "DeprecationWarning: firefox_profile has been deprecated, please pass in an Options object". I'm looking into what that i...

[Python] selenium webdriver help

Hi, I'm needing help from you Python pros....I've got a pretty basic/simple Python script that scrapes a website and modifies some stuff in my account. The script works with Python2, but I'm wanting to get it to work in the python3 environment. I switch to python2 by: $ sudo -s update-alternatives -...

Re: Installing Spyder

Peer,
Couple of questions...1) Are you running Bookworm, 2) what version of Python does Spyder point to, 2 or 3?

Installing Spyder

If you've installed Spyder, how did you install it?
pip, apt-get install python3-spyder, via anaconda ?

Re: [Software] Monitor power off fixed, but usb wake after sleep not working

Using acpitool I toggled the status of the Devices that are related to the usb controller, hub, and keyboard, one by one. No effect. So I went through all the devices that were disabled and enabled them. Still not waking from sleep when the keyboard or mouse has input. $ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup Device...

[Software] Monitor power off fixed, but usb wake after sleep not working

Even before I dist-upgraded to Bookworm Stable my monitor would blank after inactivity, but not completely "off". It wouldn't completely power off so that when my room was dark, there would still be a glow from my LCD monitor. After finding the thread below on xfce.org's forum https://foru...

Hm...not sure what the issue was but it appears to be working now. I've marked it as solved.

I'm now able to print PDFs to {HOME}/cups-pdf/.

Re: printer-driver-cups-pdf in Bookworm

Running

Code: Select all

#> mv -i /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd.dpkg-dist /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd
and then editing
/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
to have the output go to
{HOME}/cups-pdf/
has no effect.

Yes, I did. And thinking that this would have caused the issue, I apt-get purge printer-driver-cups-pdf apt-get install printer-driver-cups-pdf When asked which conf to use, this time I had the maintainer's conf applied. No effect, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd doesn't exist. I'll run the command y...

[SOLVED] printer-driver-cups-pdf in Bookworm

I upgraded (yes it is an upgrade, not and update!) from Bullseye to Bookworm last night. It went very smoothly, no issues at all. After most major dist-upgrades, typically I'll have to mess with cups-pdf to work "my way". Two of those things being, 1) pre-fixing the job ID, 2) Change the o...

Re: [bookworm] It has begun. ITS ALIVE! Debian 12 "bookworm" released.

Last night's dist-upgrade from 11 to 12 had to have been the easiest and problem free upgrade I've ever done. Flawless thus far.

Thank you to all involved!

Re: Backing up to NAS with rsync

reinob wrote: 2023-01-09 12:58 Check if your NAS supports the rsync daemon (vs cifs, ssh, etc.)

Then you can use something like

Code: Select all

rsync -av /home/username/ user@server::module
(where in the server you define the "module" module as pointing to the appropriate directory).
Only root/admin can.

Re: Backing up to NAS with rsync

The point is that if it has ssh and rsync you could omit cifs completely. If you run rsync against a locally mounted cifs filesystem it is going to need to download all metadata locally to do the comparison. If you use rsync with ssh it will do this on the NAS itself. Looks like I can only ssh into...

Thank you for the help....it was a good try!
Don't quit! One good way of learning is by 'fixin' stuff that isn't working.
