How to Teach Online Courses
Hi, The Debian Academy initiative aims to organize courses and other forms of online teaching/training about things related to Debian, especially for people that want to get involved directly in the Debian Community, either with package building or with translation, infrastructure maintenance, publicity, community development, etc. Ideally, every Debian Team or Debian Project should organize at least one course (or training) that can help newcomers to get involved in their activities in the most easy and friendly way. This initiative (Debian Academy) started a couple of years ago. I came to know about it during the last DebConf (in Prizren). As a participant in the conference (it was the first time for me) I really enjoyed the training organized by the Video Team, and then participating as a volunteer for recording the talks. I wish that Debian Academy has the same kind of spirit for teaching and knowledge sharing, that makes a community vital and vibrant. To get things started, I am organizing a training program about how to teach online courses (since I do have some experience with such courses). I'd like to share my experience with other members of the Debian Community, hoping that they will become teachers in turn, for sharing their knowledge and skills with the others. If this seems interesting to you, please register at this event (which also contains a more detailed description of the training): https://events.fs.al/event/1/ I promise that it will be easy and fun, and even if you don't start your own course by the end of this training, there is nothing you can lose by participating. I certainly enjoy preparing and teaching it, and I'd be happy to interact with the participants. By the way, for the time being I am using my own teaching infrastructure for the course (Moodle, BigBlueButton, etc.). But if the idea of Debian Academy gets some support and momentum in the community, we can request some resources from the Debian project and build the necessary infrastructure on it. The course starts on Sep 17 (Saturday), and the registration is closed on Sep 15, so hurry up with the registration. If you have any questions or discussions about the Debian Academy, you can join this mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-academy/ Kind regards, Dashamir

Is it one computer which changes depending on whether it is booted into buster or bullseye? iperf3 is a pretty good measure of actual data transfer. If it works at 1000Mb/s for most things, but drops to 100Mb/s for a particular one, suspect the particular device, not the general one. -dsr-
Re: Currently on x11vnc, looking for reliable VNC solution?
I thought of one more thing: This could be remote client causing this. I almost exclusively use KRDC client to log into this VNC server, so maybe something is there which cause this. But I am willing to change a VNC server rather than debug a client - simply because a server should never crash. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄

Currently on x11vnc, looking for reliable VNC solution?
Hi all, For years, out of inertia, I have been using x11vnc in a screen session to provide remote desktop access to my local home server. So simply speaking I see my logged in X session, with my desktop and running programs, and I can manage it remotely from another machine. my x11vnc in screen is as follows: x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -shared -forever -loop -noipv6 -repeat -timeout 60 -ncache_cr -noxfixes -find This works all year round, but for last couple of months (or more?) its randomly dropping the connection and I have to start over. This is some bug in x11vnc, because otherwise server's reliability is excellent, and all other services are working very well. When it drops, screen session says: caught XIO error: 06/09/2022 21:31:50 deleted 60 tile_row polling images. And it just starts over because is has -repeat option. It happens every few minutes, very frequently when I am typing, and almost not at all when I am doing nothing apart from having remote session fired up. I'd like to finally fix it (anyone knows what's wrong?), or replace x11vnc with something else. Preferably some systemd service. And I want full desktop access to my machine, I know that some other remote clients are logging me in as a new user or something, with empty desktop, that's not what I want. Specs: Clean Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64 with x11vnc package installed. Xorg and LXQt as desktop environment, on NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 on nouveau driver. Everything is stable apart from this issue. Any suggestions welcome! -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄

PXE booting EFI client
Debians, I'm trying to pxe boot a client with UEFI BIOS to no avail. Everything works with legacy BIOS but if I use those two lines in my dnsmasq.conf: "dhcp-boot=bootnetx64.efi pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Boot UEFI PXE-64", bootnetx64.efi" the client gets an IP but no file are sent. I'm at a lost on what to do to PXE boot a EFI client. Does PXE booting of EFI clients require other ports than 69 UDP and 4011 UDP? Any pointers is appreciated. -- John Doe
