Re: How to permanently change default sound input source?

1) pacmd modifies only a running instance of pulseaudio: all is lost when pulseaudio stops 2) to alter permanently the default source input in pulseaudio, you may edit your client config' file (cf man pulse-client.conf) 3) mate-media depends either on mate-media-gstreamer or mate-media-pulse: if t

Re: Icedove calendar not syncing to google calendar

Hello, I do not know for Stretch and Sid, but the Jessie version of the calendar-google-provider package is not the last stable from upstream. In my case, deinstalling the debian package and installing the upstream thunderbird extension solves the problem. YMMV...

Re: Black screen after "UEFI Installer menu"

a possible cause of your problem could be a need for a firmware, probably for the graphic card, that is not included (proprietary) in the installer. so you could either: - install with the text-mode installer a text-only environment. reboot, then install needed firmwares, then install a graphic en

I cannot help you with wvdial, I have used this rarely looong ago for simple dial-up (no 3G/4G). NetworkManager itself (not its applet) does not depend upon any GUI part and nmcli (command line) and nmtui (ncurses text interface, roughly equivalent to nm-applet) are included in the package. Networ

Re: Debian Gnome Or XFCE ?

Sorry, I did n't catch you were using Ubuntu. Apparently, Ubuntu has dropped support for 586 procs (their "386" linux images being in fact 686 ones). That's not the case in Debian, x86 non-PAE procs still being supported (linux-image-*-586)
