It doesn't note that a driver is installed. So, if you have the nvidia
driver installed directly from nvidia, remove it. From a terminal run
"locate nvidia", you might have to remove those files by hand IF you
directly installed the driver from the nvidia website. Next, run
software updater (it's in your XFCE system menu tab) and let it install
your driver for you. Before you reboot, run /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig to
create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for you. Then a reboot should have
you up and running. I HOPE this helps. Ric



Hi Ric,

I always use nvidia driver from Debian but strangely OpenGL renderer
in use was Mesa (I didn't noticed when pasted the output). Don't know
which upgrade changed that. That should be the problem. I have purged
nvidia completly and installed again with:

$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings libgl1-nvidia-glx
libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 libnvidia-glcore:i386

Those latest packages installs non-GLVND OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES 32-bit
libraries which I think work better with old games. Now I get:

If you do a command line install with no graphics, you end up with no
network configuration once installation completes.I left some writing on
wiki.debian.org for how to configure wifi to work for command line
installs on post-install boot and that uses ifup and ifdown.  I don't
know what happened to the text on that site since I put it up in pure
ascii without any markup editing.  If need be, I think I can find it
among my files here.

Not in my experience.

At one time, if you did a non-expert install with no network DHCP
server, then you got no networking, even after a netinstall. It bit me
around the time of etch or lenny. I've no idea if it's still true today.

I think there's only one Brian over there in the UK somewhere, and here's what
he said a year back that pertains (if the bug still kicks) to whatever it
is we're talking about here (in the interests of precision and clarity):

 netcfg sets up the network during installation and writes a temporary
 /e/n/i stanza. If a user installs a DE and n-m is installed the stanza
 is not copied to /target, the assumption being, I suppose, that the user
 would want n-m to handle the network. This happens when either a wired
 or wireless connection is used to install.

 If the user uses a cabled connection but does not select a DE the stanza
 is copied to /target.

 If a user has a wireless connection but does not select a DE the stanza
 is not copied to /target but rewritten to contain loopback only and then
 copied over. On first boot there is no external connectivity. Your guess
 is as good as mine why a wireless installation is treated differently
 from a cabled one. I have never seen any adequate justification for
 denying external connectivity in this circumstance.

So it is the experience of wireless people, I guess.

The Debian internationalization info seems to be centralized in this
page:

  https://www.debian.org/international/

Specifically, if you want to translate the wiki, this seems relevant:

  https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki/EditorGuide#Translations

Perhaps there's someone more into it and can provide more details.

Thanks for considering doing this work!

I believe it should happen by default, this is almost always what you
want. I'm fairly sure I've never had to ask for this.

When the VPN connects, Network Manager should adjust routing so that
the VPN becomes the default gateway. To disable this behaviour, there
is a tick box somewhere in IP properties of the VPN connection, I think.

That is usually something that is managed by the VPN server pushing a
default route to the client.  However, please note that network-manager
handling of DNS is still likely to leak DNS queries to DNS servers
outside of the VPN.  This was recently discussed in this thread:

My cage has been beneficently rattled ;}
The JSON file exported by SeaMonkey has too much of no interest.
I had given up on working with JSON data directly.
I did a web search for the combination of "sql" and "json".
That led to jq [https://stedolan.github.io/jq/] which led to a slightly 
different search with Synaptic. That led to "SQLite ODBC Driver" 
[http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/].


I've not laid out the intermediate steps in detail.
However something like this seems possible:
 1. Export SeaMonkey bookmarks in JSON format.
 2. Clean it with jq.
 3. Use some tool/script to emit CSV.
 4. Edit with spreadsheet of choice, emitting CSV.
 5. Create JSON file acceptable to SeaMonkey.
[That may require creating dummy data for items disposed of in #2.]

Your thought triggered the thought that Debian-Publicity can always
use help translating... well... publicity, e.g. related blog posts. :)

If one follows that list long enough, you'll see shoutouts with

immediately.

problem with modern desktops on Buster

2018-08-06 Thread Gary Dale
When I rebooted my computer (AMD64/Buster) yesterday, I couldn't get 
Plasma to operate. After logging with sddm, the computer locked up hard 
(wouldn't respond to SysRq or Ctl-Alt-Del) before the desktop appeared.


I switched to Gnome which seems to work a little better but I was still 
getting lockups. I tried Gnome over Xorg in case it was a Wayland 
problem but that also seemed to have problems. It crashed overnight and 
left me with some panic text on the screen and the computer was locked 
up. I couldn't get much beyond the initial desktop display when I restarted.


I've been using Gnome Flashback (Metacity) for about 5 hours now, 
including a couple periods when the screen saver / lock kicked in, and 
it seems OK.


I'm not even sure where to report this problem since I can't identify a 
specific package that is causing it. However since Gnome Flashback seems 
to be working, I'd guess that it is in the flashier desktop elements.

hello,
sorry is this is not on-topic
I'm not very good at sound.
Sometimes if I watch an mp4 film the volume in parts is low but then 
there will become some sound event that is very loud.
It is true that my hearing is not as it was but I don't think that is 
it.
I'm not exactly sure what controls "volume" but is there software that 
will cut off the noisier bits at a level without affecting the rest.

It sounds like a limiter is what you need?

Subject: question about sound

hello,
sorry is this is not on-topic
I'm not very good at sound.
Sometimes if I watch an mp4 film the volume in parts is low but then
there will become some sound event that is very loud.
It is true that my hearing is not as it was but I don't think that is
it.
I'm not exactly sure what controls "volume" but is there software that
will cut off the noisier bits at a level without affecting the rest.

Ah, OK seems like VLC might do it in the menu items tools

System suspends when logging out of the system

2018-08-06 Thread litvintsev . vova
I've installed Debain Buster with KDE Plasma 5 and I found that as soon as I 
try to power off my system screen just freezes and I need to force this 
process just switching it manually. Is there any advice? Any help is 
appreciated!

I think the whole problem comes from the surround channels - why not check
the options around mixing multiple channels into L/R
