2017-07-11 Thread Bob Brewer
I'm running Debian Testing on a Kino-945GSE motherboard which has 2 Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controllers. Only one of these is in use. Kernels newer than Linux tuscan3 4.3.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.3.5-1 (2016-02-06) i686 GNU/Linux suffer from Bug#812746 which

2017-02-18 Thread Bob Brewer
I am running up to date KDE Sid with SDDM but I need to start the gnome keyring at x startup to satisfy Midori dependencies. The Midori FAQ suggests adding “export `gnome-keyring-daemon –start`” to the historical .xinitrc but this seems to be ignored as does .xsession as suggested by the
