Sudo is battle tested. Doas has nice benefits and I use it on OpenBSD but you need an actually good reason to switch away from sudo. Especially since switching away from sudo (on a default install ) will break compatibility and habits. Anyways, out of the priv-esc religious war there is one clear lo...

Which gives me an idea, that maybe I can install it into my home directory only, without root access, instead of manually installing the deb file with apt. This wouldn't pose the risk of breaking Debian, since the program wouldn't exist outside my home directory. I know how to edit ~/.profile, add ...

Do you have drm modesetting force enabled with modprobe? It is probably necessary to run Wayland, my guess is that newer NVIDIA driver versions enable this by default now, which would explain the difference between versions. The other issue with external displays is how they are wired to the dGPU/iG...

I don't know what to tell ya. When I install from NVIDIA's website website it works, when I do it from the repositories it doesn't. Beats me. I think my confusion is, does it work on X? I'm saying you shouldn't write off the entire Debian driver just because it appears broken on Wayland. When I tri...

I meant that the GPU works. With the drivers from the official source/repository my GPU won't start no matter what. I'm highly skeptical. It's not a car, it's a GPU. Is this a Waylandism or is the actual nvidia-driver install not working? If it's not it points to a more serious problem. Now that yo...

I am pretty sure this is a bug in debian obs-studio.

Please try these steps:

Encode a file using ffmpeg using NVENC

Code: Select all

$ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 1M output.mp4

Then try encoding using NVENC in obs.

Probably nothing to do W: means Warning, not error. Looks like the script built and installed the modules correctly.

There is a simple way to use them with the official Nvidia repo: PWNED in two steps! https://wiki.debian.org/UntrustedDebs https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty Better use the GPU installer script rather than the remote root-access hole repo that will ship strange lib versions. I'm...

So I installed the drivers from the official Nvidia website, I think the wiki makes clear why this is a bad idea. Enjoy. but my external display wouldn't be identified User-space utilities for managing external displays are wayland compositor dependent. On wlr-roots we use wlr-randr. I have no idea...

Thanks to the gracious work of the package mantainers, the LibreOffice suite is available in bookworm-backports.
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-ba ... ice-writer

It's not the 'latest' version.

CynicalDebian

It seems it's a procedure will be different for Bookworm?

That's for adding the wine repos, which can get you newer versions of wine.

If you are using Debian I don't recommend it and Wine 8 in stable is plenty capable

Somebody pinch me and give me sauces that PipeWire is FOSS. Or I'm just gonna shoot it. Anything in the "main" section of Debian packages is Debian Free Software Guidelines compliant. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFreeSoftwareGuidelines Pipewire is in main, but you solved that already. So...

Ok I logged out and logged back in and now I can access the folder. or will it have negative consequences i.e. site will stop working or something else? Is it really a great idea to have your (un)privileged user be able to manage your word-press files? Even worse you are privileged in a way, your a...

When I google this: "Failed to read DPCD register 0x92", I get hits about something wrong in the UEFI, is your laptop up to date? Yeah I'm pretty sure FWUPD keeps it up to date, I'm not gonna deal with any BIOS flashing nonsense... When I google for "Failed to enable link training&qu...

Hello, I have a Thinkpad T480. I suspended it earlier, and when I went to wake it up, the screen refused to wake up. I tried mashing Ctrl+Alt+f2, and eventually my screen started flickering...

Your sources list has Unstable, Testing and Experimental. It can only have ONE. It's just untrue. Experimental packages already ship low priority, and so can be combined with testing or unstable safely since it functions equivalent to stable-backports. Testing and Unstable CAN mix, providing you do...

By default, .local/bin is only added to PATH when .profile is executed. $ cat ~/.profile Often times with a display manager .profile is not sourced, but it should be sourced when logging in on a TTY. If not, you may need to move the script that adds .local/bin to PATH from .profile to .bashrc $ edi...

Yes.

limotux Yes, the problem is the space, which is why I said to just remove the space entirely by renaming the directory, you can just press tab until it autocompletes with the escape sequence for you. If you want to keep the space you have to escape it properly in the alias. The escape should be som...

CynicalDebian

So, I should not add anything to ".bashrc" file? In theory using "alias" how you have described should work, but using a private bin is more easily extendable and more in line with the intentions behind alias and private bin. The easiest solution to your problem with the alias a...
