You shouldn't need to type anything beyond http://archive.debian.org/debian , since the installer will determine the rest (it wants to install wheezy, it wants to enable non-free) Samuel
Re: Nextcloud client accessibility
Hi Jean-Philippe, Thanks for your answer. Is there a way to get public links or share folders using command line or do you use the web interface and only use the command line client to synchronize? Thanks, Patrick Le 08/04/2020 à 15:05, Jean-Philippe MENGUAL a écrit : Hi, Indeed, the Nextcloud client is not accessible (at least the desktop release). However, you can use the nextcloudcmd client. It is so simple. You just need to add a crontab job to synchronize with your server at the good frequency, but it works. The other problem is the pass is not encrypted, buyt maybe the client provides a solution to avoid this, I did not search?

Fwd: Debian is testing Discourse
Hello all, I'm posting this as it could be of interest to this list. Forwarded Message Subject: Debian is testing Discourse Resent-Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 08:45:17 + (UTC) Resent-From: debian-u...@lists.debian.org Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 11:45:02 +0300 From: Reco To: debian-u...@lists.debian.org Dear list, [1] came to my attention today. To quote relevant parts: What about the mailing lists? This may or may not be a replacement for any particular list. I suspect there are some thet would benefit greatly from having Discourse be the primary interaction, and other places where this would be less suitable. Be specific! Ok... I think *debian-user*, debian-vote and possibly debian-project would be better off in Discourse. I think debian-devel-announce should stay as an email list (for now). However, I am not suddenly proposing that we shut those lists down. The aim of this exercise is to see if Discourse would work well for us. Email is still important to me! Fine, you can interact with Discorse by email rather than the web interface. It should be noted however, that there is *not 1:1 feature partiy* with email and the web interface, as Discorse does things that can't easily be done with email. For the majority of users though, email interaction should be "good enough". Why are you doing this? I have two motivations. First, is *moderation*. Discourse has built in tools to allow community moderation on a much better scale than our email lists. Secondly, I genuinely believe that ease of access to new contributors is of paramount importance to the project. So, thoughts, options?

Noob
Hello all. Noob to this list and to more-or-less, kind-a sort-a straight Debian. I recently installed LMDE 4 for my wife and myself. I was playing around with the fresh release on a Live load and my wife decided to watch over my shoulder. She said "I want that, now". Everyone knows when the wife says 'I want that' and then adds 'now', that means 'why don't I have it already'! So-o ... We've been Linux users since 2007. We started with Ubuntu and stayed there until 2012 when they went all Unity on us, blech. We moved to Linux-Mint Mate and stayed there until two weeks ago when we moved to LMDE. My wife is blind in one eye and has distorted vision in the other plus 'floaters'. I've just got age induced moderate low vision. She prefers low contrast colors and themes which we just blunder into as best we can. Does anyone on list have some off the cuff or some standardized tips, hints and tweaks for us to try for low contrast? One more item, is there a way to include personalized desktop settings and current themes into a backup? Maybe I'll break these two questions into two emails if that's better. Thanks all Blaine
Re: Noob
Hello Blaine, For folks with low version I highly recommend using the Compiz window manager. I have no idea if/how it can be installed in LMDE. I didn't find it this repository: packages.linuxmint.com But I am not a Mint user myself, so it's quite possible that I miss something obvious. Else, if that's acceptable for you and your wife I'd suggest to use instead Debian with a Mate desktop and the compiz-mate package.

Re: Noob
Hi, When you install Debian, you can use the dark theme at the install time. This has 2 consequences: - it installs the MATE desktop, the most flexible desktop I know from a visual point of view - it installs the COmpiz window manager, bringing plugins for negative colours, and you can add additional utilities such as omox to set the theme and tweak it. I dont know LMDE, but I dont think it is as accessible as MATE.

Re: Noob
hi there, I found this article about compiz window manager when searching for you, I hope it will be of some assistence? when ubuntu installs there system, files from /etc/skell are coppied to the user directory of the user being created, so, any files changed in /etc/skell will move over to the /home/username profile. I hope this makes sence?
