Re: New RAM, does Debian has a tool to benchmark?
Thank you to both of you for your answers. I am grateful for your time. My PC is a desktop PC, see hardware details at the end of this email. Here is more info, answering your questions: * I purchased a single 8 GB module and currently the PC has a 4 GB module. My original plan was to buy two identical 8 GB modules but I decided to buy an 8 GB module now and the second later. I am aware that since the two modules (8+4) are not identical there is a possibility that they would not perform at their maximum speed. However I believe that 8+4 is better than 4 or 8 GB, am I right on this? * The 8 GB module that I purchased is this: <https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr3/ct102464bd160b/ct8815800> * The computer is used for basic office tasks and the usual internet browsing (sometimes with many firefox tabs open). I am not using any particularly heavy programs like scientific computing, video rendering etc. However I am experimenting sometimes with virtual machines (usually with qemu-kvm). Not something professional, just as a hobby (I am trying to teach my self things by performing tasks that I wouldn't normally try on my main system). * With the 4 GB RAM that I now have available, I have noticed my PC becoming slow and the memory usage going quite high. After booting, with just Gnome running, I see conky reporting that memory usage goes to something like 800 MB. Firefox adds ~800MB more and Thunderbird adds up to a total of more than 2 or maybe 2,5 GB! After launching Transmission (bit torrent client) I see that I have to restart Firefox quite often in order for the PC to be usable (especially after browsing a little and having many tabs open or even after some tabs have been closed). I have noticed that things got worst after upgrading to Stable (I was on oldstable until recently). * I haven't been checking on swap usage a lot so I don't know how is that used. * I have two HDD hard drives installed in the system. * Up to now I have only been using Memtest86+ to check the memory's integrity but I didn't know that it can be used to see other performance metrics. I will check that now. * I will also the dbench (which I haven't heard of before) as well as use the apt-cache command you suggested. If the information I give in this message helps you to suggest something specific please do, as hardware in general and especially benchmarks is not something I am particularly familiar with.

That sounds encouraging and that is exactly what I am after but I thought I could ask here for benchmark software suggestion to see if I can get something measurable.

New RAM, does Debian has a tool to benchmark?
Hi list! I just purchased new RAM for my Debian Stable running PC to upgrade its performance. I currently have 4GB and the new one is 8GB so I will have 12GB total. My question is this: is there a tool in the repositories which I can use to measure the system's performance with 4GB and then with 12GB of RAM in order to see if it was a worthy choice? Thanks in advance, Dalios
Re: Small Open Source Digital Classroom
Hi all, The links below contain many suggestions (of which a percentage has already been mentioned in this thread). However I am putting the links here because there are a few more options inside. I guess there are many recent similar threads in many FLOSS lists/forums/other discussion platforms and similar posts/articles by many news sites/organizations/individuals. Maybe this is an opportunity for FLOSS and privacy concerned solutions to be pushed to the wider public (though I doubt). https://anarc.at/blog/2020-03-15-remote-tools/ https://www.systemli.org/en/2020/03/15/solidarity-as-infrastructure.html https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/mar/17/remotetools/ https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/better-than-zoom-try-these-free-software-tools-for-staying-in-touch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

Hi all, I have a desktop with Debian 9.9 (Stretch) installed.

[1]. So Debian has "installation images" available from which one can install (see for example [2]) and it also has live media which can be used to "Try Debian live before installing" and also to install. I suppose that the difference is only some more extra space on the CD/DVD/whatever for more packages ready to be installed (but I don't really know).

Hi polymax and thanks for your email. Since your reply was off-list I added the list on the recipients of my reply. I didn't receive any doc with my PC and I didn't search the Internet for any such documentation as I believe it would be a long shot: HP's documentation having anything regarding my problem would be a big surprise to me. Let me remind to you my problem is that suspend works fine when I ask for it but it fails when run automatically as part of Gnome's power saving settings. However if you have any helpful links I would be grateful. My keyboard (which is an old one bought separately from the PC) does not have an Fn key. How would that help me? I didn't try to set a shortcut key as that would not help me with making automatic suspend work. I didn't "publish" any incorrect data, at least not that I know of. Maybe there is more info needed but I wouldn't know what exactly. If you (or anyone else) need more info on my setup please ask for it. TIA Dalios
Debian with Gnome: Automatic Suspend fails
Hello list, Having used quite old and slow machines for so many-many moons, I finally got my hands on a relatively new PC and thought that it was time to check on that "new" Gnome that I have been reading complaints on lists and forums for years! The PC: HP motherboard, Intel Core i3-4170 CPU @ 3.70GH, 4 GB RAM. The installed system: Debian 8 Jessie (Stable) with Gnome Anyway, my problem is that I can not make Automatic Suspend to work. >From Gnome Settings --> Power --> Suspend & Power Off: I am setting "Automatic Suspend" to "On". I set the time to the minimum available (15 minutes, just for testing purposes). When I come back the PC seems to be on and working as normal but the screen is black and nothing seems to happen until I hard reboot (ie hold the PC's power button for a few seconds). Suspend-and-resume is working as expected when I "press ALT before clicking the shutdown button in the user menu" (see: https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend) as well as when I issue the command "systemctl suspend" from a terminal. I have tried to find some info from Gnome's documentation and have found that I can open gnome-tweek-tool from the Alt+F2 command line where there is a setting for Power --> Power Button Action where I can choose from the available (Blank, Hibernate, Interactive, Logout, Nothing, Shutdown and Suspend) but nothing seems to change on Gnome's Settings Power menu. Thanks in advance, Dalios

Firefox starts without errors with the "firefox" as well as the "exo-open --launch WebBrowser" command even for the first firefox window. It is weird though as all eight add-ons were installed in iceweasel for some months or at least some weeks before firefox was installed in place of iceweasel. I will now install add-ons on the new profile one-by-one to see if I can find the guilty one. Thanks for your help, Dalios

error trying to launch the first firefox window on Debian Jessie
Hi list,
my system is Debian 8 Jessie (stable) with XFCE Desktop Environment and
just a few days back my Iceweasel browser transformed to Firefox. After
that my keyboard shortcut for launching Firefox isn't working if Firefox
isn't running! In other words: if a Firefox Window is open then I can
launch other (new) Firefox windows with my shortcut but if no Firefox
windows are open the none starts.
From: XFCE Menu >> Keyboard >> Application Shortcuts I found the exact
command which was "exo-open --launch WebBrowser" so I tried that on a
console and got this error:

A similar problem is that when I click on a link on a document or an

Thunderbird) then nothing happens unless firefox is already running.
I searched the web with the above errors (and parts of them) but didn't
come up with anything useful.
Any ideas?

First of all you would have to move your /home to a new partition (to the same disk or another) and you would need to start from a Live CD/USB in order to do this step. Of course if you don't have another HD available then you would have to partition the disk which is risky for your data which you would have to backup elsewhere etc Next is the new installation procedure where you will eventually connect the new system with the old /home. However let me note that some of the problems of your current installation may live inside /home which means that you will still have to deal with them. The /home folder contains not only your data but also various settings files for your applications. So, as I said, you can certainly do it but I am not sure you want! Another approach would be to start a new thread (or more!) on this helpful list in order to try to solve your system's problems. Of course you can always re-install and start from scratch but how can you be sure you will not end on the same position after a while. Dalios

After doing whatever it is that you want to do with the command line you can use the command "systemctl isolate graphical.target" (as root) to start the GUI. Method 2: While on the GUI one can go to the CLI with the command "systemctl isolate multi-user.target" (as root) either from a VT (using Ctrl+Alt+F1) with or without prior logout from the desktop or from a terminal emulator inside the running desktop. To go back to the GUI the command would be as before "systemctl isolate graphical.target" (as root).

When on Debian 6 I used the following two ways:
Method 1: While on grub menu: press "e" from the keyboard and then use
the arrow keys to go to the kernel line and add the word "text" at the
end of the line. After doing whatever it is that you want to do with the
command line you can use the "startx" command (as a user).
Method 2: While on your desktop: logout, Ctrl+Alt+F1, login from there
(I suppose that you will have to login as root to do what you want).
Then use the command "init 3" do whatever it is that you want to do and
then use the command "init 5 && exit" to go back to your desktop.
Strangely, the first method is not working for me right now (Debian 8
XFCE) despite I am 100% sure it was working with lightdm and XFCE in
previous versions, I will have to look into this. The second method is
not expected to work on Debian 8 because of systemd which reminds me
that I will finally have to do some reading...

In your case you are not even running Debian but only Debian based Mint (as far as I know though LMDE is Debian compatible in the repository level). That said you can try to install the .deb package with other ways (for example using gdebi) but the main drawback (apart from any inconsistencies already mentioned) is that the package won't be updated with the rest of the system because apt/synaptic will not be able to do this.

But I am not sure I can explain this. Let's try. 1. Currently you can use "testing" and "jessie" interchangeably. It is suggested that you only use one of them and usually the right choice would be the "jessie" instead of "testing". 2. When the new Debian stable will be released it will be "Debian 8, codename: Jessie". 3. After the release if you have "jessie" on your /etc/apt/sources.list file then you will be running stable. So after the release of the new Debian stable the words "jessie" and "stable" can be used interchangeably. 4. But if you have "testing" then you will continue to run testing which will then have another codename, Stretch. In other words after the release of Debian 8, codename: Jessie as the new Debian stable the words "testing" and "stretch" will be able to be used interchangeably. 5. I guess one could claim that "testing" is a rolling release (which it is almost true in it's Debian way and when not on freeze). But using the codename (jessie or stretch or whatever) will not get you rolling in any sense. Dalios -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

When (not "if") something goes wrong you can still downgrade packages using dpkg, even if you network is down, system is unbootable, etc. Especially for testing and unstable (but even on stable it can't hurt) I would recommend the following [use the tool you feel more comfortable with, I'll use the new 'apt' command because it's shorter ;) ]: apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade (be careful about the last one, because it is allowed to remove packages) checkrestart service restart (restart also all other programs that don't have an init script) checkrestart is in package debian-goodies. Also make sure you reboot if the kernel was upgraded (you did have a look at the package lists, did you?). If everything seems to work fine: apt-get autoremove # apt doesn't do this yet apt-get autoclean For extra safety set APT::Clean-Installed to "no", because otherwise apt will remove all packages that are not downloadable any more. While this happens all the time in testing/sid as package versions are superseded it will also happen if your last 'update' failed for some reason (e.g. network was down).

aptitude search says "package will be installed"
Hi all, A few weeks back while I was still following Stable (wheezy) I used gdebi to install a package (minitube if that matters). Later I upgraded to Testing (jessie) and now I used the command "apt-get purge minitube" to uninstall the package but when I use the command "aptitude search minitube" the return i get is: pi minitube - Native YouTube client According to the aptitude's man page as well as aptitude user's manual (http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/index.html) the first 2 letters of that line mean: p: no trace of the package exists on the system i: the package will be installed What does that "the package will be installed" mean? When will it be installed? Note that I have already tried the commands: apt-get install -f apt-get clean apt-get autoclean apt-get autoremove apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade and nothing changed. Is this a problem because of using gdebi? Is this because I used apt-get to uninstall and aptitude didn't get the memo?
