Only 6 options limit🥲

I always open the terminal and do the good ol' apt update upgrade, because it feels like a daily ritual for me. I remember when I first started using linux in 2013 or so and that's how I've always done it

I'm traying to install it on my C: Drive, i have a partition on my ssd and im not sure is this the right option to continue installing.

I’m just starting out in the world of Linux and decided to begin with Debian; I’ve never used anything other than Windows in my life, and I’d like to start learning and really get into computing. What do you recommend?

Gnome Disks says that drive has 367 bad sectors, not sure if it is the USB adapter I use or it was like that, might try it internally with the SATA cables to see if it makes a difference.

Anyway, not sure if I'm just wasting time here, should I just trash the drive? It was my ancient OS, seems it has run time of over 4 years, currently used as a backup drive (same backup as other files, so even if this fails, I still have others) idk, never trashed a storage before, feels... Wrong? Never lost data as well, so kinda lost on the procedure.

Maybe it should be used as an "USB Stick"? Or the unreliability is just that bad?

I am currently testing kmscon on forky. It seems to run and switch fine, both between instances of itself and to/from fbcon, when forky runs on its generic/default linux-image-amd64 kernel(s).

On the other hand, for my lightweight VMs, I prefer running linux-image-cloud-amd64. Here, roughly 3 out of 5 times, switching to kmscon causes it to freeze up. Sometimes switching back to a default fbcon/agetty console from a frozen kmscon will freeze all ttys (whether they run fbcon or kmscon). The same applies after reboot if I try disabling [getty@.service](mailto:getty@.service) and enabling [kmsconvt@.service](mailto:kmsconvt@.service). If I install and boot into a build of linux-image-amd64 (instead of -cloud-amd64) on that very same guest VM, the problem seems to disappear completely. Boot back into -cloud-amd64, and it returns.

When I provoke the issue, kmscon itself outputs the following line in kmsconvt@$tty.service and syslog:

Error: video_fbdev: cannot get finfo (9): Bad file descriptor

...followed by repeated lines of:

Warning: terminal: cannot swap display [fbdev] -22

dmesg does not indicate any complaints from the kernel side. I know kmscon is a userland program, but thought I'd check anyway since switching from/to default fbcon is part of it.

I have unsuccessfully tried playing around with options like --no-drm and --no-mouse.

I suspect there is at least one required kernel module which - depending on how Debian's cloud kernels are built - either can be loaded with kmod/modprobe or is missing entirely. The project's own documentation does not seem to specify which kernel modules it needs, and although I can diff linux-header files for cloud vs. generic kernels as much as I want, that by itself will not get me any further without knowing what to look for.

Does anybody know where I can look to figure out which kernel module(s) that I am missing?

This will probably turn out to be out-of-scope for the cloud kernels, but since I like kmscon and would enjoy also using it in my lightweight cloud VMs, I thought it might be worth asking anyway, and possibly submit a wishlist bug if it seems more or less reasonable.

Thanks.

Hi !

I'm almost a year in using Mint Cinn and want to start using Debian as a daily driver for my laptop. I'm trying to add something like Bazaar or the Software Manager as I want a visual gui for this. I've looked into it and am getting confused on the commands to install it.

gitlab.gnome.org/world/bazaar is where i'm looking... am I dense or going the wrong way.

When i just wanna to watch some youtube the audio doesn't work, I've search some tutorial online like restart PulseAudio, try in another profiles, and autoplay permission.

and i've test the audio by download and play a music using other app like VLC & it works normally.

Just ordered a Nikon R6 III body for 6K video recording of martial art.. training, sparring, competition fights, open hand and weapon forms. Karate, BJJ, Muay Thai competition. Grabbed a Tamron 28-75 F2.8 lens as I’ll be 4-30 feet away usually and can move around as well.

I’m fully Debian.. for decades. Can i process the 6K video and grab frame captures are will I need to create a Windows 10 VM for initial processing?

I’d like to offload the cards directly to my NAS and process from there. 10GbE networking.

Been out of photography and was never really into videography and first time moving above 4K. Any help, tips and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: I’m considering 6K N-RAW Normal quality 60 fps video for competition. This is where I’m unsure if ffmpeg works or not. I was reading this still requires DaVinci Resolve to initially process. I’d use 4K H.265 10-bit 60 fps for training and sparring video which I know ffmpeg works fully.

I looked this up and found nothing, the details button gets automatically blocked by my Adblock
