Secure boot - Uefi installation
Dear All, How can i install debian with UEFI support? Is there any simple tutorial? Also do i have to disable the secure boot and then proceed with uefi installation? I have tried but then a message "could not authenticate boot media" emerges and the boot stop right there. I am new to debian and i don't want to abandon for this silly reason. Thank you
Network Manager - network interfaces issue KDE
Dear All, I have encountered an issue with Network Interfaces on Debian Testing with KDE-Plasma 5.8.2. If a pc change fast the type of connection between a lan and a wlan, NewtorkManager cannot address the change and although there is an ip for both interfaces you will not have access to internet. What i have done is to set the parameter *managed=true* on */etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf* and then *systemctl restart NetworkManager* to take into account the change. I just wanted to report it in case someone else faced it. Kind Regards, Diamantis
Re: Is anybody Running Debian on Acer Aspire E5-571G
Hello, I can't understand the problem. Netinstall interrupts due to missing rt2800 package? Also in case you are not aware of it there are also builds that have already non free firmware drivers. But they are unofficial: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ I didn't follow up the whole conversation so i might miss something.

(blobs?) as far as I know, this is Debian specific (not only Debian, but other Debian alike may no have the same), and often seen as a drawback, when it's a great advantage; if one take all into account Yes, of course, you are right. I didn't read carefully enough, and we were talking about a Debian DVD. I don't actually know of a Debian derivative that has the same policy - except probably Devuan. But then I don't know every Debian derivative. Lisi
Re: Bypass Disk Usage Analyser
From your brief description it seems to me that this is a matter of permissions. What permissions do you attach to these files? Also, when you say "search" could you please be more specific? For me "search" for example means "find " and open them by terminal. Some details will help.

Re: Gnome metapackage dependencies
No problem at all. I just want to verify my thoughts or share them. I also checkout the project and i am now after it. We will see.

Re: Gnome metapackage dependencies
Hello, You mean that i have to do a minimal install of debian without adding the metapackage on installation and then add gnome manually? Is there any info / guide on this?

Re: questions about debian installer prompts re: iwlwifi firmware
I would like to add that there is also iso with non free drivers on debian.org. Just check if your hardware is included. Basically most hardware is included but one more check never matters.

When the installer tried to configure the network software, it asked for an iwlwifi firmware file. Tom, I regret no one has answered your question yet, for it is one that has bothered me in the past. In lieu of an answer, I've had to string an ethernet cable to the machine, install the OS and then the wifi firmware and configure the network interface, and then reboot without the cable.
