If you are comfortable with mutt, I'd first try exactly this. Install mutt on your brother's computer and run it over ssh without X (perhaps things are stable then). Unfortunately it's difficult to know what's going wrong when the connection "crumbles". It may be related to X, but then it may not. More debugging would be necessary.

I don't know anything about your organisation. The environment I worked in was not principally concerned with computing, and I don't think my boss had any knowledge beyond the word "Linux", (possibly). My users were immersed in my software, but didn't concern themselves particularly with what OS was running it. As a user myself (of the university computing service), we were surveyed about application software that could/would/ought to be made available, but not the timing of OS upgrades, which required coordination across departments. When I served for a while on the appropriate committee, I remember our views being sought on which manufacturers would be asked to submit bids for the replacement system. We didn't discuss OS versions from five years ago, using either codenames or Sunday best names. > > I don't think it's sensible to use bare year numbers for releases, > > let alone for codenames for as yet unreleased versions, even where > > the dates were thought to be predictable.

One way of looking at this, for Anglophones: Every year has a name: it looks like the number of the year when written, but it's pronounced differently: for example, 1968, pronounced "nineteen sixtyeight". Convention dictates that the year is never written grouped, like 1,968, but is pronounced almost universally grouped into (unspoken) hundreds. One wouldn't say "one thousand and sixtyeight" (or "one thousand sixtyeight" in American). Exceptionally, the names of the years in the opening decade of this century haven't yet settled. Perhaps they never will until people alive at the time are all dead. > Numbers can be easier to remember in some cases, and names in others. Perhaps more people remember the A5 is the Holyhead Road, rather than the name Watling Street, unless you live in Milton Keynes, where it's also the V4. And MK is one place where you might think you remember the road numbers better than their names, but really you're just counting. There's a V9, which I must have driven on, if only to park in Downs Barn and dodge the fees in Central MK, but I don't have a clue what it's called, as most of it doesn't exist. That which does lies between Marlborough St (V8) and Brickhill St (V10), both of which I knew well, over two decades ago. And now I'm rambling 'cause I'm stuck: I'm not sure why I'm the one having to think up examples. Cheers, David.

How do I remotely access the computer in the next room?
Hi, All - I need the best way currently available to operate my brother's computer in the next room through my computer. I think we're both running Debian 11, the stable version for me, the testing version for him. I've tried ssh -X. It does work but only for a short time, then the connection crumbles - his computer has often locked up on him and we have no idea why, so the 'short time' aspect of the -X approach may relate to that. The point is, he's been away from home for awhile now and we're not sure when he'll return. Chiefly I'm looking for the most convenient way to keep an eye on his incoming e-mail for him. Mostly I use Mutt; he uses claws-mail exclusively, so I'll need to remotely launch claws-mail and have it retrieve latest e-mails. Thanks in advance for any help on this. --hobie

It's hard to tell what exactly will happen, because it depends on BIOS/Firmware of the motherboard, even though there is a special metadata record on each disk, which contains role of the disk and configuration of the RAID array. I predict two outcomes: 1. Two disks connected to a new motherboard will be recognized by BIOS/Firmware right away after you switch controller mode from AHCI to RAID, and appear as existing RAID1 array. 2. Two disks connected to a new motherboard will appear as two normal disks and won't be recognized as a RAID1 array, asking you to create\init array. In case #2 data on disks will be lost, so before you do any manipulations make and verify backups. Usually BIOS RAID software is very basic and won't allow to preserve current data on disks, or select a role (primary/secondary) for the disks, or create incomplete RAID1 array using only one disk to allow to copy data over from the second disk. If you happen to have any other two old disks on hand, I suggest you to experiment with those on current motherboard, i.e. create an additional new RAID1 array and see if that array stays intact after simulated disks "transfer". You can simulate disks transfer by powering of the computer, disconnecting the test disks and check if test RAID1 array still listed. If test array will be listed and report two test disks missing then array information is also recorded in BIOS and this array information won't be on a new motherboard. However, if there won't be any information about test array, then it should appear when you reconnect test disks and data on test disks should be intact. There could be also a manual available from motherboard's manufacturer which could give some clues about what is possible and what would happen. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄

Appending nomodeset is primarily intended for troubleshooting graphics issues by enabling fallback graphics functional for editing configurations and running package management. As long as you must use nomodeset, you are forced into 1024x768 at best, sometimes worse. It's only coincidental that this mode is used by both your original problem and using nomodeset, because it's a failsafe fallback. > So the question is what do I do next?

Your old one was the second of its generation. The generational change was very significant, quite a change in technology. Thus, your initrds might not be supporting it, which would cause fallback to the crude ancient techology VESA fallback display driver if the support for the older had never been installed. If this is the problem, rebuilding the initrds should solve it. Before doing that I would try sudo modprobe radeon to see if it has an apparent impact. If it solves the problem, running update-initramfs might be all that is required. It might also be that libdrm-radeon1 is not installed, which your HD5450 requires for optimal operation, and so also would need to be installed.

I don't quite understand what you are proposing. Do you mean the external HDDs would form a new RAID 1 array for the new motherboard ? What would happen to the original RAID 1 disks ?

There are pieces of military equipment that have a code designation as well as a flashy name, and people still use the code designation. There is no telling what will stick from one case to the other, or what will be most popular by some majority of guys using it.

I believe that will depend on how you built the RAID array. Assuming the new motherboard supports your current hard drives and peripheral cards. (As it should if it is the same make and model, and the manufacturer did nothing stupid.) If you used mdadm (Linux software RAID), you should have no problem. Some hardware RAID systems on a card should be OK. RAID in the firmware on the motherboard should be OK, unless the manufacturer made an incompatible upgrade. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

UEFI firmware is in a motherboard chip, not part of any gfxcard.

Nvidia GT 710 and Secure Boot
I understand that some people have experienced problems with booting a motherboard with Secure Boot enabled in the BIOS such that they get a blank screen, can't enter the BIOS and possibly can't boot at all. This problem seems to be due to having an old graphics card which doesn't have UEFI firmware, in particular no GOP driver. I have an Nvidia Geforce GT 710 graphics card, which is an old card and probably doesn't have the UEFI firmware or GOP driver needed with the Secure Boot feature. Is there a way in which the GT 710 can be updated to incorporate the necessary UEFI firmware and GOP driver ?

They went into effect when each stable version was released. Decisions are obviously made before they are implemented, and as I said, I'm not calling for a replacement, I'm calling for a substitutable predictable and postdictable alias implemented when the year of the stable release becomes extremely likely. The marginal case where unpredictable delays push a stable release out to December, and then possibly into the next calendar year, is not very concerning to me as long as there is no more than one stable .0 release per calendar year. -dsr-
Deactivating and Reactivating the display of a NUC 13
Hello everybody, This is a revised translation of a posting to the German Debian mailing list. Unfortunately nobody there was able to help me with my problem but I hope that on this list with a much wider list of readers somebody might have encountered my problem and found a solution for it. I have two NUC 13, one for work and one for private use. Both are running Debian 12 Bookworm with Gnome 43 and Wayland/Weston. My monitor is a Acer Predator XB273KGP, which has four connectors, two Displayport 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0. The Display port can do 120hz when connected via DP. One of the NUCs is connected with an USB-C-to-DP-Cable and the other one via HDMI 2.0 with only 60 hz. The other ports are used by other computers. My problem is that once the monitor is deactivated – either by manually switching it off or by DPMS - the only way to get a picture again is either to reboot the NUC or detach and re-attach the USB cable. The monitor simply complains that there is "No Signal" This runs counter to my intended usage. I want to enable power saving during the day and reactivate the NUC with a keypress when I want to check my emails or search Google. Also, the NUC is connected to my video projector via HDMI and I want to turn the computer display off when watching movies on the big screen. An active computer is both an unwelcome distraction and a waste of energy. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I suspect that this is not the fault of my monitor – I have a windows pc for gaming and it awakes from suspend with a keypress without any problems. It is connected to another DP Port via a high quality DP cable. I do not even have a workaround until a long-term solution is found. At the moment I completely shutdown the NUC after use and start it when I want to use it. Luckily this takes only a few seconds – my NUCs are fast, especially with a Samsung 990 Pro – but I am still looking for a better way to handle this. Yours sincerely Stefan

Now that bookworm has been released, it's straightforward to assign to it a Release Number of 2023. But the OP was querying the invention of the codename trixie.

What's not well-chosen about any one of those codenames? (I know some people have difficulty distinguishing between words with the same initial letter, even though their common meanings are completely different.) BTW nobody is forcing people to carry on using codenames after they've been given release numbers. It just says something about their usefulness. > > You don't have to memorize all of Debian's codenames in order, do you? > > There are about three or four in current use at any one time.

I don't think it's sensible to use bare year numbers for releases, let alone for codenames for as yet unreleased versions, even where the dates were thought to be predictable. Take a couple of recent posts, transcribing them from codenames into year numbers: I'm not sure what you're reading into that. The 2021 manpage has a copyright date of 2006 (Red Hat). But if we look at service itself, which is a script, we can see that the ?earliest Debian version was written in 2004 by our very own John Hasler, for 2005 through 2009, by which time the version we have now, I think, joins it, and replaces it in 2011. It's not immediately clear that 2006 and 2004 are literal dates, whereas the other numbers were originally codenames. You say your system is pre-2017, ie 2015. That means that you will have had both iproute2 and net-tools installed, as in 2015 they are both ranked important. AFAICT iproute2 has never been ranked lower than that, and its predecessor, iproute, was important as far back as 2009. (Earlier than that, it could only be optional, because you needed various options to have been compiled into the kernel.) These numbers are all standing for codenames. However, the dates that they now superficially resemble are misleading, because the ranking decisions are likely to have been made up to two years or more earlier than it would seem from the numbers.

Leaving aside that Titanic is the real name of the ship and not a codename, the evidence is all around you. Look no further than your login name, or the name of your computer. A huge slice of the Internet's infrastructure, DNS, is concerned with allowing people to converse with memorable names rather than anonymous numbers. Going back to your OP, the idea of using a purported Release Number before release is a recipe for confusion, because people may mistake it for an actual release before that actually happens. (The way in which the Debian project is organised is unlikely to result in one event that sometimes occurs elsewhere: where a distribution is partly built but abandoned, and a new one started under a fresh codename. Think MS's Cairo.) Moving on to ambiguity, any conversation about Debian is going to involve numbers: dates, version numbers, literal values, addresses, ports, enumerations, etc. Numbers have to be in a context, which tells you what sort of number it is. OTOH, with a codename like bookworm, the context of the list, forum, or whatever, is enough for you to know what it stands for. And it's "well-chosen" when it's a word unlikely to occur with a different meaning, and doesn't carry any misleading implications about the nature of the project, including release dates. Cheers, David.

[NAS] Install Debian + paquet OMV ou directement avec l'iso OMV ?
Bonjour, J'ai un NAS avec OpenMediaVault , installée à partir de l'iso d'OMV. J'ai récemment découvert que l'on peut d'abord installer une Debian puis ajouter un paquet OMV. Un membre de la liste aurait-il un retour d'expérience sur une Debian modifiée OMV ? -- Frédéric ZULIAN
