gnome-software is using up my internet data
Hello, Ive got 2 questions: 1. The process gnome-software is downloading up of 10 MB every time (or many times) I connect to the internet, this is killing my internet data quota. Can someone tell me how to disable this, what exactly is gnome-software doing (it does not seem to be searching for updates)? 2. Is there a way to set a metered connection in debian so every time I connect using usb tethering the system knows not to use more data than completely necessary at the time? Or every time I use a particular connection it know not to use more data than necessary? thanks very much,
max volume not max volume
Im running Stretch and Gnome with whatever sound setup corresponds to that. I turn my volume completely up from my my DE (Gnome), however the volume doesnt actually go to its max. Running alsamixer in the terminal, initially also shows the master to be at the max, pressing F6 and choosing a different sound device (not default) shows me more controls and shows me a master slider that is not at the max level. Could someone please explain what might be happening and how to correct this? thanks,

Thanks Dan, your questions answer my question. In this case they do provide the source code, which am not competent enough to understand, but I do trust them. thanks a lot,
trusting .deb packages
I am thinking about installing the Mega.nz app on my Debian Stretch installation. They provide a .deb package. Is there anything I can do to ensure this is a safe package? To know that this package will not create a security vulnerability on my system? What is the minimum security procedure to follow when installing third party provided .deb packages? thanks,

A notification appears asking the user to upgrade and restart the whole system. If it is not necessary, why has this feature been implemented as part of the DE?
Software and Updates Restart notification Stretch
hello, I am getting a notification in Gnome saying there are packages to be updated and I get the option to click on a button saying Update and Restart. However, if I do a regular apt upgrade, I dont need to restart my system. Why am I getting this notification? since when do I need to restart my system to upgrade any package in Debian? thanks,
.deb packages and security
hello, I know installing .deb packages downloaded from websites is not a good practice in terms of software management in Debian. I would like to know if I should have security concerns when installing a .deb package "manually" (using gdebi for example) ? Is it possible that by downloading the skype .deb package and installing it, I am creating a security vulnerability in a Debian system? thanks,

messed up release in apt
hello, I mistakenly added an etc/apt/sources.list line for "jessie"(backports) instead of "stretch", which is my current release. I proceded to update apt and installed Wine (along with many packages, some i386) from the jessie-backports source (i.e. apt install wine/jessie-backports). Please tell me how I can locate all wrongly installed packages and remove them, and install correct packages from stretch-backports, thank you,

Re: low sound

Thanks Tomaz, I did get the volume up to its usual level (I believe) by going to alsamixer. I had tried this before but had not manually selected the relevant sound card (device), which apparently is not "default", having done so I was able to raise the volume again. I will check out your commands though to see if I can get an even higher volume. thanks again,
low sound
hello, Since a couple of days, the overall volume of my audio has decreased. However, it doesnt appear to be affecting my audio player (Rhythmbox). Youtube videos play with very low sound. I am using Gnome and am setting the volume and amplification to max just to try and hear something. Please tell me how I can check what is going on. Volume in Kodi also appears to be lower than usual, and have been using the Kodi volume controls for amplification as well. thank you,

Ill ask another question here. Is having dual boot Windows 10 (or 7 or 8) and Linux a security risk? Will malicious Windows programs gain access to Linux files (files in the Linux partition?)?

Gaining control over the software you use will prove really useful only when you are planning to use it for a long time. As an example, I would imagine that a serious person might require a very specific functionality from the software, then they could just write the code to achive this function. Check out Varicad (.com) too, its is propriatary but you can try it for free.

pop-up windows all the time in Firefox, Stretch
hello, Ever since I moved to Stretch I have had pop-up windows popping up all the time (clicking on various items on various types of pages). I am posting here, since this is only happening in my Debian installation. Was anything changed in the default configuration of Firefox. It feels like Windows with all of these pop-ups, this is the first time I experience anything like this in a linux installation. thanks,

Is it possible that installing Mate caused trouble of some sort. I tell you the truth, my solution to many problems has been to simply reinstall the system. I believe my system is not correctly configured in some way, for example, composing this email in Evolution in the little composer window, if I want to delete several words of text and press and hold my backspace key, it goes back at a certain speed, so I have to wait to see how back I will be taken with the time I have held pressed the backspace key. Performance is just not good in general, and I believe this laptop should certainly be able to handle Gnome, and guessing I would have issues with any other DE. I appreciate any help. For now, my plan, when I have time, is to reinstall Debian Stretch, dont touch anything and configure to load intel driver, and hope that any issues have been resolved. thanks,
Re: Poor X performance with Intel 8086:22b1 (Braswell)
Hello, I was just wondering if you could confirm that I am now using the intel driver, I dont know how to check this in my Xorg log. I am still having an issue I do believe pertains to Gnome. The Applications menu in Gnome Classic is sluggish at best, as I described before, moving the mouse around it starts to dramatically increase cpu use, if I am playing a video and then go to this menu, the video starts freezing. Also, my scrolling is still not as smooth as it is in Windows (sorry for this comparison, but it is what I have). Or, for example, the Gnome animations upon closing or opening a window or in the Desktop Overview, are not smooth. I believe I still dont have the best graphics configuration and would like more help.

Hi. thanks, I have followed those instructions completely now and the situation improved notably, scrolling my Inbox and in LibreOffice is better. I also noticed that right after logging in, previously the screen would show the black terminal screen (again) while loading the desktop, now I see a prettier gray Gnome background at that time. I have also uninstalled Mate (uninstalled all packages with "mate" string in them), it seemed to make things (graphics) worst, and also choosing an item from Places in the top bar in Gnome Classic would open Caja instead of Files, it also made the Applications menu notably slower. Should I take any other steps at completely removing Mate?? I dont know if my graphics are perfect now, but at least I can work nicely in my PC now. Isnt using the Intel driver usually a better option than using another?? I really need to learn about this (modeset) things to be able to figure out what driver I am using. thanks a lot,
Re: Oh no something has gone wrong! after reinstalling Debian and Gnome.
As more examples of the symptoms, in Firefox, scrolling through my email's Inbox list, is a little sluggish, however, scrolling through a site that has images and other things (rt.com), I can scroll up and down more smoothly. In the Applications Dropdown from the top bar in Gnome Classic, it sometimes is hard to select an item, I have to move the mouse around a little bit for it to actually "stand on" (highlight) an item, the whole menu is a little bit sluggish too. thanks

Too late. Since it was being proposed I did make the upgrade, I cant say for sure but no changes appear to have happened, maybe its taking longer for the initial load of the graphical interface in general (login and desktop), but cant be sure. I appreciate your help and support, I really want Debian to work for me, I bought an Asus laptop because I thought they had better support in linux, they ship some of their PCs with linux (actually their EEEpc originally ONLY shipped with a modification of Debian) As another symptom I have now is for example, scrolling down or up on a simple Libreoffice (docx) document is not smooth, it appears to be a purely graphical issue, not something beyond that in terms of processing, but I can be sure. I have tried installing Mate, really I dont see a lot of difference at all with regard to any of my issues, actually I have a problem in Mate, it will not load the desktop background image and it is stuck in black. thanks again,

Thanks a lot for your replies. Yes I believe I dont have graphics acceleration. My interface is sluggish.

Re: Oh no something has gone wrong! after reinstalling Debian and Gnome.
Hello, I have upgrade to Stretch, and my system is loading the graphical interface (Gnome). However, I believe my graphics are sluggish, video playback at some points starts freezing and sometimes just becomes unwatchable (it starts using up a lot of CPU power). In the recommendations here (https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Intel/NUC5PPYH) it says to install non-free firmware, the Debian installer asked for firmware-realtek, I provided it and I believe that I installed. But what non-free firmware could possible correct my graphics problems? what am I missing. I am happy my system is working, but graphics work better in Windows, and that is morally inacceptable to me. thanks a lot, On Mon, May 22, 2017, at 09:11 PM, Jimmy Johnson wrote: > On 05/21/2017 05:24 PM, Anil Duggirala wrote: > > Thanks everyone for your responses.

Re: Oh no something has gone wrong! after reinstalling Debian and Gnome.
Thanks a lot Felix and Micheal. I will follow your advice, and for the first time ever, use Debian Testing. I guess when Stretch is released I will be able to install that, correct? So I will be able to go back to using a stable release right? I'm really afraid of testing, the whole reason I like Debian is for its stability, but using stable would require me to install various packages from backports maybe?? I did try installing that newer kernel, that didn't work. thanks a lot, On Sun, May 21, 2017, at 10:55 PM, Michael Milliman wrote: > > > On 05/21/2017 07:24 PM, Anil Duggirala wrote: > > Thanks everyone for your responses.

Re: Oh no something has gone wrong! after reinstalling Debian and Gnome.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I did not expect such quick and full response. I also really don't believe it has anything to do with partitioning (Debian deleted the partitions and created exactly corresponding partitions with guided partitioning). More info: When I installed initially with LXDE, I had horrible graphics and no touchpad, upon installing the Linux-image from backports (4.9), these problems were resolved. I have tried installing Linux-image 4.9 from backports (using the command line) now again, the problem persists. However, in the debian-laptop users list, I guy who said he has the exact same laptop (Asus X441SA) said he is running Gnome-Classic (Gnome), I have tried asking him if he got this problem but have received no response from him.

Oh no something has gone wrong! after reinstalling Debian and Gnome.
I had installed Windows 10 and Debian 8.8 (with LXDE) in dual boot (UEFI) and everything was working. I wanted to reinstall Debian, so I installed Debian again by deleting the debian partitions (I think correctly) using the Debian installer partitioner and choosing the Guided use largest continuous space option, this time I installed with the Gnome desktop environment. I am getting a Oh No, Something has gone wrong message, the system cannot recover' message after booting into Debian. Should I have deleted the prior Debian entry in the EFI partition? does this have anything to do with this error? Is there any other solution to this problem? thanks a lot,

why are libraries in jessi more up to date
Im a newbie and would like to know why libraries in Jessie are some much more up to date than in wheezy ? If the libraries have been tested and are stable then why arent they available in the wheezy repositories. I had a terrible time, trying to get a newer version of glibc to play some games in wheezy, and the version in jessie is much more up to date, thanks for the info, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: alternative to avidemux?
Im using avconv to do this, it is a part of libav-tools package, and its probably faster if you are doing this on a regular basis, use the -ss option along with the -t option. Im also pretty sure it can add a subtitle channel, although I havent done it, On Tue, 2015-03-03 at 23:39 +0100, Victor wrote: > On 03/03/2015 18:05, Dan Ritter wrote: > > subtitles: > > > > - gnome-subtitles (1.2-4 in Wheezy) > > - aegisub (2.1.9-1 in Wheezy) > > - subtitlecomposer (0.5.3-3 in Wheezy) > These are for editing the subtitle files.

Re: PDF forms and field issues
Is there a way for you to check if specific fonts are being assigned to the input fields? Im sure there are better suited tools for your purposes, have you tried scribus?

Re: Debian right for my use?
Ive invested quite some time looking for CAD software running natively on linux, there isnt much. There is one 3D CAD software running flawlessly on my Debian machine, its called Varicad. Correct me if Im wrong but Virtualbox will take away some of your graphics card power.. Besides that, Im also running Virtualbox on my Debian machine, without any trouble. I would not go with Wine to run CAD software because there are just too many things that might not work. Overall Debian is much more stable than Ubuntu and I think is a good starting place for you to get into the linux world. Good luck, let me know how you do, by the way, what CAD software you using?
