The app was already installed. The only thing to set-up (that I saw) was which files, how often/when and location to save files. Seems simple but it just didn't work. I was doing a re-install and now that I have a fresh system, I'll try it again. I use the KDE backup and it works well. It's basicall...

I went with DejaDup yesterday. That apps been around a long time. In my opinion, using rsync or one of its derivates is probably the best for backing up. Be sure to keep your hands off tools like Borg or DejaDup. With these, you always need the complete chain of unbroken backups from the initial bac...

On Deb 12 KDE there is a back-up app. I set it up but I'll be darn if I can get it to run. I could install Timesync that I used forever on Mint but it would be nice to use the one I see now.

Well I make a call from my phone every few days. I'm 71 years old, almost 72, retired and never was a big phone user. I grew up in the days that if you were out and wanted to make a call, you found a phone booth and I survived quite well. ;) So why the heck would I spend $1,000 on a phone. My IT emp...

Backs up everything from Texts to Contacts and everything else. It is a two way sync so whenever I buy new phones, all I have to do is sync the new phone. Copying by tethered USB is not a sync. I can do backups of text and phone calls (SMS stuff) to Google. As for over priced, I pay under $200 for m...

I have the program on Windows to backup my phone to the PC. How do I do the same thing using Debian 12 ? I went to the Samsung site and they only support Windows and Mac.

Ok, thanks for moving the post. I was looking for a home to place my post.

There are a couple of reasonably good readmes pinned to the top of this forum. I'd suggest starting there.

Good luck -

I'm thinking of putting my Deb 12 into motion to move to Testing upgrade. It isn't un-stable, it isn't stable but I think it is usable. This isn't a server computer, it doesn't have to carry the day for anything except to browse with a bit of other things like Libra Writer. I'm getting that distro-h...

Hm? Thought I posted this. Thanks for all your help but I finally got it to install. Installed the DEB file but then no GUI. It wanted Handy installed, so I installed Handy. Then it started and I had the GUI. I rebooted and saw an error that said it can't start the program during boot. Maybe GRUB ne...

I got it off of https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui/releases/ It was downloaded to the download folder. Just saw this and I'll try to remember. "never use -y with aptitude, apt-get or apt. It's dangerous, you're allowing them to do whatever they want without asking you." Thanks sudo a...

Ok, I have Discover back. I back tracked and saw my problem was with libglib2.0-dev so I installed it. aptitude install libglib2.0-dev During the process I was taken to many choices and I chose downgrade. After everything settled I did sudo apt-get -y install plasma-discover and now I have Discover ...

The different things I had been trying was attempting to install from the Git. gir1.2-handy-1_1.2.3-1_amd64.deb and  libhandy-1-0_1.2.3-1_amd64.modified.deb Here is a list of my bash of the things I was trying to use from online sources that said these were needed for the install sudo apt install py...

I hit select all and placed into terminal. None of the commands ran properly. There is a link to a deb file cpupower-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb Download it to e.g. /tmp/, the sum is as follow $> sha224sum /tmp/cpupower-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb 069920a2a087652e8c6aa884759b5f07309d3c220970c24ce00ce01f /tmp/cpupow...

Well the git link has a DEB file and I am using Discovery to install it. I'm not good at using terminal commands for Git installs. So unless there is a DEB file for Discover, I'm dead in the water. Using Discovery the error message is Dependency resolution failed. Can you please post the command you...

This works on LMDE6 but I can't get it to work on Debian 12. I'd like to install cpupower-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb but when I do it shows a dependency issue. It doesn't say which dependency is missing? I'm kind of surprised that KDE doesn't have a GUI to set a CPU governor. https://github.com/vagnum08/cp...

Well I can report that over the past few days I've tried a bunch of thing and I should have kept a log. So far I am not having frantic fans and the temps are in a reasonable zone. What fixed it? I do not know and maybe it will change during the next reboot? Silence is golden.

I still have a Pavillion, back light issues years ago, it will start but it is probably 20> years old. It was terrible to take a part and yes there was a fan issue. I had a replacement but never installed it because of the crazy hard removal. Boat anchor but it did withstand some heavy falls. I used...
