You didn't do anything wrong. These are entries for Mint packages which do not exist in the Debian repositories. These are entries for Mint packages which do not exist in the Debian repositories.

Re: [Networking] Can't connect to Ethernet on Debian Live version

Output should be pasted in code tags please not as an image. You can just copy the lines relevant to Ethernet. You mentioned booting in Windows: this can affect the connection in Linux either by denying access to the device or the presence of persistent settings in memory on the device which do not ...

Re: Headset microphone is not working (Raptor Lake P/U/H cAVS).

Welcome to the forum! Well, the driver can handle a digital microphone input, that's cool! If you are lucky, it could just be a bug in switching. Try alsamixer and look for toggle/mute settings for available microphones, and/or pavucontrol for profile/input options. The Bluetooth mic would probably ...

Re: [Software] where is the xfce4-weather-plugin?

There is a bug in XFCE that means the tooltip for certain panel items is hidden behind the panel, depending on panel height and settings. This may explain why you couldn't interact with the plugin from the panel. https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13633 Or search tooltip hidden under panel xfce...

Re: [Software] where is the xfce4-weather-plugin?

I have XFCE, GNOME and Cinnamon installed. Well, there's your problem. More than one DE can cause unintended consequences. Three and nobdy is going to rule out flakey behaviour being down to the DEs not playing nicely with each other. If you really want to find out if the weather plugin works in XF...

Re: [Software] where is the xfce4-weather-plugin?

Tried that 3 times. I'm wondering if this is a network issue since some people have that problem on the internet. The weather apps in GNOME and Cinnamon work OK. Did you try the web site in post #2? Can that site determine your location from your IP address? If t can't, then the weather plugin can'...

Re: [Software] where is the xfce4-weather-plugin?

If you select a location, does it work?

It works for me in Debian 12.8 - although the automatic location detected from my IP address is 66miles off.

https://mylocation.org/

Returns the same location. Is this website able to see your location based on your public IP address?

Re: Accessing Multi-function printer folder in Thunar/Dolphin

At a guess, it's a Samba share.
