Gnome extensions
Hi! I upgraded from debian 10 to debian 11 today and I noticed that a gnome extension I really liked dont work on the latest gnome. More specifically I used "workspace to dock" in order to have access to workspaces. I just put the mouse on the right side and the workspace list that is viewed on overview was popping up on the right side. Really useful! So I would like to ask if everyone knows an extension that can achieve a similar result or if its possible to achieve the same result through command line. I search for similar extensions but I couldnt find any. Thanks in advance! George
apparmors extra profiles.
Hi! Im trying to install debian 11 on virtual machine manager in order to prepare my self for moving my laptop to debian 11. Default install leaves unconfined a lot of apps so I tried to install extra profiles. According to documentation it supposed to install extra profiles at /usr/share/apparmor/extra-profiles/ but there is no apparmor folder. only apparmor-features. I would like to ask if anyone knows where apparmor-profiles-extra install its profiles? Thanks in advance George
Backports and upgrade to buster
Hi there! I'm thinking installing debian on a new laptop. The problem is that the current version is stretch that comes with an old kernel that doesn't support my wifi card. I was thinking about using backports to install the latest kernel. I have the following questions. When I install stable and use a kernel from backport when you install it you upgrade a couple of packages like libglib, firmware-linux-free etc When the buster is released what happens when i try to upgrade the system from stretch to buster? Do I have to remove backports from sources.list? What happens to the packages that were upgraded from backports? Are they replaced by the new stable packages? Thanks in advance for your help. ps.I know we are close to the release of buster.I could simply choose to install debian buster. But i would still have the same questions if I use backports in buster.

Re: Off topic: Carbon. Was: Off topic: remaja (teens)
Personally Right or wrong are highly subjective. Besides that right or wrong always has to do with your goal. What accomplish your goal is right. for example. Want to be good a math? Well the right thing to do is study after school. Socially You could say that every society based on its values finds something that is considered right by the majority. for example. Slavery i bet 99% of us would agree that is wrong and would criticize it. Slavery was accepted as right a couple hundred years ago. By the way the last example probably answer to Heinlein.(based on today values) ps.Just felt that I had to answer that quote. Dont really like what it implies. Of course it could be out of context.

Flatpak or repository apps
Hi there! Based on security and stability i was wondering what is more preferable? Installing apps through flatpak or through debian repositories? Some thoughts in my mind. Repositories: -I was thinking that in repositories you have old software that gets bugs fixes. But what about old software that it isnt supported? Are fixes backported etc? How fast? -Doesnt offer easy sandboxing like flatpak -Apparmor can restrict applications Flatpak: -sandboxing -Propably bug fixes are faster if the developer support flatpak distribution -No Apparmor. -are the latest applications stable enough? Any thoughts on the issue?

Mailvelope in firefox: "GnuPG is not available"
Hi!
I'm running debian testing and I'm trying to use mailvelope with Firefox
in order to encrypt/sign my emails. I plan to use it with my yubikey.
I'm getting "GnuPG is not available". Any ideas how to solve it?
One solution i could try is downloading the packages from
https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html and installing them.
The problem is that this option means i must manual update them.
I already tried putting a file called gpgmejson.json inside
/home/gpdsbe/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/
gpgmejson.json
{
"name": "gpgmejson",
"description": "Integration with GnuPG",
"path": "/usr/bin/gpgme-json",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": ["jid1-AQqSMBYb0a8ADg@jetpack"]
}
I'm thinking that the problem is that there is no gpgme-json.
Any ideas what package i should install?
Or any other solution?
Thanks in advance.
Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
Hi there! I'm running debian testing buster and I'm using xfce power manager. In xfce power manager settings on "System" tab I activate "hibernate" on 30 minutes and on the "Display" tab "Put to sleep" after 9 minutes and "Switch off after" 10 minutes. When i watch videos on netflix (full screen) the display doesn't Switch off in 10 minutes but the computer hibernate at 30 minutes. I do not want my laptop to transits on hibernate if I'm watching videos full screen. I'm running debian buster with firefox-esr browser and xfce4. Thanks in advance for your help.
Re: Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
Hi! First of all thanks for the fast reply. Yes I have presentation mode. I didn't even try it to see if its working with hibernate. The problem with that is that its inconvenient to check it and uncheck it all the time. I will inevitably forget it sooner or later.

Re: Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
Thanks for your reply. I already took a look at Caffeine before I send my first email. The problem with it is that it looks for an app running so I do not think its a good idea. I often leave my laptop with a lot of firefox tabs open and expect it to go to sleep mode or hibernation instead of closing it. I will probably have to settle with manually checking presentation mode although i was hopping for a more automated solution.

Re: Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
I'm watching movies through netflix so I do not have any ideas how to write a script that will do that thing. I guess the script should detect if an application is in full screen mode. A "solution" I'm thinking is to put a cron job with the following command xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -s false to repeat it self every morning. Theoretically that should solve the problem of forgetting to change it back. Doesn't feel like a clean solution. Anyway It isn't a big problem. Usually I do not watch movies at all. Just had a leg surgery and I'm going to be bored to death the next couple of weeks until i start walking again.

Re: Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
Thanks for your help! I will try that!
I think grubing cdm decryption module makes the program too specific. I
can think a couple use cases that full screen should prevent hibernation.

Re: Xfce Power Manger and watching movies full screen
I understand what you are saying but I dont think its the simpler option to make 2 different launcher for the same application with different parameters. I will try the script Curt send me. I think that solution is applicable to other use cases. Reading pdf files, presentations etc. Thanks for your reply!

Flatpak and apparmor.
Hi! I would like to know how i can set up an apparmor profile of a application i run through flatpak. For example. Lets say i have installed libreoffice through flatpak. In order to start it I must run "flatpak run org.libreoffice.LibreOffice --writer" How do i set up a profile with aa-genprof for that application? Thanks in advance for your help!
Re: Flatpak and apparmor.
Thanks for your reply. I'm using apparmor the last 2 years and I made my own profiles for my applications. The problem I'm having is that since flatpak is a bit different i do not have any idea how to combine it with apparmor or if its even possible.

Re: Flatpak and apparmor.
Thanks for your help! So flatpak and apparmor are not compatible. Well what about selinux? I was thinking moving from apparmor to selinux sooner or later but I already had a working system that I didn't want to mess. If selinux is supported I guess I should consider making the transition.

I would trust debian team but i would certainly feel the need to take a look. As far as I can see https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Sandbox They are planing to sandbox each application in its own selinux context. That means that probably there are no plans for apparmor or apparmor profiles. Not a big surprise i guess.

Re: Attempting a VERY minimal install (using --no-install-recommends ;)
My minimal install include just installing standard system utilities.
I build my system after that without the use of --no-install-recommends.
Its better to install recommended packages for full functionality of the
installed packages.(Just my opinion)
ps. Im using xfce and i usually pick the packages i need.
ps2.Find your network hardware and see if it needs firmware installed.
Check you

FPU
I recently tried to install debian on my laptop, 386sx. I have 5M of free RAM and acording to the installation guide it is enough. The problem is that when i try to boot from the disk the error message "cant find coprossesor or math emulation" appears and the boot stops. The manual says that an FPU is not needet to run Debian. Since I am a begginer at this I havent any idea what to do next... -- Georgios Dimitriadishttp://www.physto.se/~georgios Snapphanevagen 44 177 54 Jarflla SWEDEN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

Thanks for your reply. I know that it has multiple slots. For the time being that's the only reason i can open my laptop :-p It must be challenge response and not static password since i already use the yubikey slot 1 and i need to use yubikey slot 2 with challenge response on other services. Thanks again for your help

Identify Slow Networking Problem
Dear all, first time poster here. Can someone help me identify a networking problem in a Debian Linux server. The server is behind a corporate NAT and although can be reached without a problem it serves webpages very slowly. Downloading files from the server can be as slow as 7kbps when there is a dedicated upload line to it of 10Mbps. The odd thing is that if I try downloading files from the internal corporate network the speed reaches the maximum available capacity. On the other hand from the external network is very slow as said before. How can I identify where the problem lies? I have a feeling that this is a networking problem (either on the NAT or on the corporate's firewall) but cannot verify it. Any help much appreciate it. Best regards, G.
