DisplayPort not working on 11th gen i7 / UHD Graphics 750
I've installed Debian testing on a new computer, with an Intel Core i7-11700 processor. After I added "i915.force_probe=4c8a" to the kernel command-line, graphics work, but only on the HDMI port. A second monitor in the DisplayPort is not recognized: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 HDMI-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00 59.94 1920x1080i 60.00 50.00 59.94 1680x1050 59.88 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 74.98 59.90 1280x960 60.00 1280x720 60.00 50.00 59.94 1024x768 75.03 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 720x576 50.00 720x576i 50.00 720x480 60.00 59.94 720x480i 60.00 59.94 640x480 75.00 72.81 66.67 60.00 59.94 720x400 70.08 DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) The cable and monitor are working fine.

As I said, everything seems to be working fine, even hardware acceleration, but only one monitor is recognized. It might be that this hardware is too new.

I have been running with (e.g.) deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib for over a decade, and while there have been some problems, I think they've been basically the same ones I'd have seen from running testing alone; none of them have seemed terribly difficult to resolve, either. (At least not by my standards, although I'll admit that I may not be the best or most representative example.) I don't particularly consider this mixing releases; it's more tracking testing, while still keeping available any packages which were in stable but have been removed from testing. IMO, if you're going to track testing at all on a production computer (as opposed to, well, for the purpose of actually *testing the upcoming release*), it only makes sense to also include stable; there's too much chance of an important package being (temporarily or permanently) unavailable, otherwise. But there's a chance that the version in stable is not installable anymore because it depends on packages that have been upgraded on testing and are incompatible with stable. That said, I agree with you that there's a bit of exaggeration about mixing releases. Sure, it's not something to be recommended to a beginner or someone who's used to just clicking "Next >" to install/upgrade software, but provided one knows what they are doing and are careful when running apt-get (or equivalents), it's certainly possible and won't lead to guaranteed breakage. -- Goes (Went) over like a lead balloon.

I can confirm the problem, by the way.
Their webserver is misconfigured. AFAIR, if they don't support https,
their server should redirect to http page. Instead, they throw 404 error.
Do you have a reference for this as required by the standards?
I don't think this is required by any standard.
But it's certainly bad practice: if they don't want to support https,
they should disable it, and not return a 404 error. It may not be a
requirement that the http and https content have to be the same, but it
certainly makes a lot of sense that they are.
So I'd agree that the website is misconfigured. You might try contacting
them.
Unlike the HTTPS Everywhere extension, that has a list of sites that
should be accessed only with https, the built-in Firefox function seems
to just try to make an https connection, and if it succeeds, assumes
(reasonably, IMHO) that the site supports https. Since 404 is a valid
response that in no way indicates lack of https support (on the
contrary), it then redirects everything to https.
The docs say you can disable https for a specific site:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/11/17/firefox-83-introduces-https-only-mode/
. But if this happens a lot, it might be simpler to simply disable that
Firefox feature. Not because it's buggy, but because it make reasonable
assumptions about websites' behaviours, which unfortunately are not
followed by everyone.

There are some wireless hdmi kits, you plug one in the computer, one in

The fact that the details have not been released yet suggests that those were found by someone well-intentioned, and not because they were being exploited in the wild, but on the other hand also suggests the risk is high enough that it's better to withhold that information until people have had a chance to upgrade to a fixed version.

For example, yahoo has this DMARC setting: v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100; rua=mailto:d...@rua.agari.com; ruf=mailto:d...@ruf.agari.com; And Mail.ru: v=DMARC1;p=reject;rua=mailto:dmarc_...@corp.mail.ru And zoho.com: v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=reject; fo=0; rua=mailto:dmarcaggregat...@zoho.com; ruf=mailto:dmarcaggregat...@zoho.com The all have "p=reject" rules which mean when DKIM (most modern email providers have this enabled) break at the recipient end, this mail will be rejected by the recipient MTA. As we know DKIM will fail due to: 1. SPF fail (for the From: address in header) - this will 100% happen regardless list server implements SRS or not. 2. DKIM fail (for header address as well) - this will most probably happen since some list servers change the message content by adding a signature etc. So we should choose a email address which at least has no "p=reject" in their DKIM policy. I am sorry for the typos. What I meant is DMARC, not DKIM. :) This list does not modify the contents, except for adding List-* headers. So as long as these are not part of the signature, DKIM should pass. Your emails, for example, had a valid DKIM signature. So should this one.

Re: Install OpenSMTPD from source or use the Debian packages?

Note that Debian 10 is only at version 6.0.3p1! See the source at: https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD I would like to install from source but I wonder if that is such a smart move, especially when we now use systemd and the source is set up with the traditional GNU automake system and I don't see any provision for systemd. I don't grok systemd very well and usually rely on others for the proper setup. I have asked for help on the OpenSMTPD mailing list, but I suggested my first effort would be to use the systemd setup used by the Debian installation (with appropriate renaming). I haven't received an answer yet. buster-backports has 6.6.2p1: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=opensmtpd But note that while Debian stable rarely gets new versions, security fixes are backported onto the stable versions, so 6.0.3p1 might be "old", but probably has the security bugs fixed.

Re: Suggestions for improving ffmpeg performance?
Kevin Monceaux wrote: Debian Enthusiasts, Does anyone have any suggestions for improving ffmpeg performance. To make a long story, well, not quite so long, I recently converted my home desktop box from ArchLinux to Debian. Back when I was running ArchLinux, and maybe one or two distros before, I started using pyTivo, a python script that can convert almost any video format into something a TiVo box can play and stream it to said TiVo box. It uses ffmpeg for the conversion. Under ArchLinux I could start a transfer and watch the video on my TiVo as it was being streamed. In most cases it would stream the video faster than normal playback speed, and would finish transferring it before one could finish watching it. Judging from the indicator lights on my network switch while a video was being transferred there was constant communication between my desktop PC and my TiVo. But, since I've switched to Debian that performance has gone down the drain. I have ffmpeg installed from Debian-Multimedia.org. Now, running Debian(Lenny), if I start a video transfer from my PC to my TiVo I have to wait for quite a while before I try to start watching it. Sometimes the transfer dies in mid-transfer. Watching my network switch I see intermittent activity between my desktop PC and my TiVo with two to three second pauses in between. ldd shows ffmpeg is using the i686 libc6 libraries. I tried rebuilding the ffmpeg package from source optimizing it for i686, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions I might try to improve performance? The ffmpeg version in the debian-multimedia repository is build without MMX, I don't know exactly why. And this makes the program quite slow (something like 3 times slower). I've just rebuilt the package reenabling MMX, and apparently it works OK, and much faster.

Strictly speaking, debian-multimedia is something that can't be addressed by reportbug it seems. Oh well. I don't really now.
