The same refusal, current Opera and FF 115.15.0esr 64bit. My DNS server
uses root hints, so not DNS. It's using a security company for

That looks to be a USB problem. The log should show first a USB

suggested. Plug in a random USB stick to see what should happen.

improved performance at the
expense of speed and simplicity. If you run Unstable, especially, and
leave upgrading too long, aptitude can be overwhelmed by several hundred
packages to organise, and will apparently just hang. Aptitude should be
fine on Stable, which should never have more than about a dozen
packages upgradable, unless you leave it for many months. I'd still use
apt.

You'll be lucky. By the time things get on the list, they're usually
unavailable. Avoid the very latest hardware, it takes a while for
drivers to appear. If at all possible, download and burn the latest
Debian Live and ask for it to be booted on the chosen machine. Knoppix
used to be the preferred distro for that, but the latest is now over
two years old and the project seems to be stopped.
Best of luck, and I might suggest getting hold of a very cheap
few-year-old ex-corporate computer for backup. It's amazing how much
easier life is with more than one computer. I wouldn't dare run sid if

Let us know more about what desktop environment you use, and we can
