Hi mastopeople,
I need help to have working screen sharing on my #debian laptop inside a #videoconference tab in #firefox or #chrome.
I'm sure it broke since I switched to #Sway on #Wayland.
I'm not sure if the browsers run natively or with Xwayland (they are not listed in `xlsclients`)
Any help appreciated, the simpler and more standard the better, I don't want to start downloading untrusted tools or compile things…

Mais grub et os-prober, il aime pas.
C'est un comble quand même, ça fais des années que le format existe, et Grub ne sait même pas aller chercher dans des sous-volumes les kernel, initramfs et tout le toutim...
Faut faire à la mano, configurer une nouvelle entrée dans /etc/grub.d, pour qu'il veuille bien rajouter ton nouvel OS dans son menu...
J'ai mis une plombe à dépatouiller le truc.

TUXEDO erklärt die Zukunft von TUXEDO OS Legacy und weiterer unterstützter Betriebssysteme

I don't know who needs to hear this, but #Linux is political. You personally might not be into it for the politics, which is fine I guess, but anything that pushes back against America's global tech monopoly is a political project. It can't not be.
Just saying.
I just had an epiphany about #Linux distros:
#LinuxMint for anyone
#Debian for Linux veterans
#CachyOS for gamers
#Arch for tinkerers
I'm still blown away how flexible Debian is. I love the zen of GNOME, but I can just as easily put any other desktop environment on it and it's just as rock solid stable.
I'm itching to start using a new #distro. As a recent #Linux user '#Mint' since a few months ago, I started to feel the urge to try a new distro with a new #DE. I have in mind to try #Debian with #Gnome.
My search said Debian is community-driven, their #governance is #decentralised, #democratic, and more aligned with #FOSS values than other distros out there.
If I want the same values, I should choose #KDEPLASMA. But, I really don't want to currently. I'm finding myself curious about Gnome ATM. I'm in despair if my combination is fit. 😅
TUXEDO stellt Sicherheitskonzept für TUXEDO OS vor
https://linuxnews.de/tuxedo-stellt-sicherheitskonzept-fuer-tuxedo-os-vor/ #tuxedo #tuxedoos #debian #linux #linuxnews
Today I learned that there are some proprietary components in #Linux #distros. I learned the deep stuff like firmware is no escape. But there are some distros who will include #proprietary stuff for workflow.
I checked my #Mint and there was nothing, or at least the check told me, I'm as #FOSS as if I'd be on #Debian. This made me relax a bit.
But also learned that Debian gives a priority to Foss stuff more than any distro out there. That's a nice thing to know.

👀 The consolidation and migration of the navidrome and jellyfin servers is now complete. I was able to collapse two virtual machines and save precious compute and ram.
✍️ The new instances are live and ready for use. Users can both listen/watch existing content as well as upload/edit new content. To listen:
➡️ https://gnulinux.studio
➡️ https://gnulinux.media
‼️ And to edit/upload new music, you can use the filebrowser instance, which allows users to populate both the navidrome and jellyfin as they see fit. To edit:
⬅️ https://upload.gnulinux.studio
⬅️ https://upload.gnulinux.media
💼 The credentials for public access are the same for all instances:
User - pubglug
Pass - musicisawesome
🔥 Hope everyone enjoys listening and seeing the filebrowser+media concept in production. For now, the full libraries are accessible but/and those will be closed down soon and restricted to only public contributions/libraries.
💡 If you are a music buff and/or know who Kogar the Singing Ape is ... or heard of the Lux & Ivy's favorites collection, you might also enjoy reading this post https://notorious.haacksnetworking.org/2025/06/01/lux-ivys-favorites/ - and the new instance proudly hosts the content.

It boots but the last message on the screen is:
SGX disabled by BIOS
And then it hangs and doesn't go any further. From the research I have done, the SGX is a warning and not the cause of the freeze. Something else is, but that doesn't get a message on the screen.
Anybody else run into this issue with Debian or Devuan based Linux distros ?

✍️ Starting today at 5pm UTC-06/7, the following instances will go down for maintenance:
1) gnulinux.studio
2) gnulinux.media👀 This maintenance will reduce total core consumption on the host by 8 vCPUs and reduce RAM usage by 16GB. Furthermore, these instances will switch from testing to production usage and public availability.
‼️It is expected that this transition should only take 6-12 hours, however, it could take as long as 72 hours if DNS caching gets delayed. Prepare for down time accordingly.

I had to do some inventory tasks for #work today at a remote #datacenter. I was listening to #NPR on the drive home and the discussion was on #AI, specifically on how the #tech titans like #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Google, and #Meta have quietly stepped away from #safety mechanisms as their models improve, the #ethical implications, and #government #regulation. While the quiet distancing from safety is of obvious concern, the discussion on regulation caught my attention.
As one host put it (paraphrasing here) you'd think these companies don't want regulation but that's not necessarily the case. They are looking for regulation that favors them, whether it's getting in bed with the government or squashing out the competition. The bottom line is still about maximizing profits.
The last part was some interesting food for thought and it makes sense. If correct, it's some good indication of where they (and we) are headed.
On the flip side, #ChatGPT and these #LLMs still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.
Case in point: A few months ago, prior to one of my lab servers dying, I wanted to host both #Debian and #FreeBSD repos on the box (which was running the former). ChatGPT provided erroneous step by step instructions, including instructions to build FreeBSD Ports on Debian...using apt. 🤦

PSA: In #debian unstable, "copy_exec /bin/lsblk" stopped working when used in an initramfs-tools hook. Why? The #busybox 1.38.0 upload enabled the lsblk applet and (to my surprise) the "copy_exec" function will not overwrite the destination file if it already exists. Since busybox lsblk does not support any command line flags, my initramfs scripts which expected lsblk from util-linux failed in funny and non-obvious ways. Time to make these scripts more robust. :)

I should have just bought a Tuxedo with Linux pre-installed. I would have saved time (and time is sometimes money) and gotten better hardware.
But it works!
Some lessons learned:
+ Google really doesn't want to allow booting a custom OS. There's lots of boot level "security". I am too annoyed to comment fairly, but considering that step one was to wipe all data, the words "security theater" come to mind for all of the crap that followed.
+ Linux Mint either doesn't work here, or got very unlucky.
+ Arch Linux stills scares me.
+ Ol' reliable: Debian brings home the win!
Of course - building great operating systems is a collaboration, not a competition. (But Debian wins, anyway, tonight.)

I don't know of the specifics, but if it's anything like previous #Debian controversies, I'm sure it's been talked to death and then the folks with deepest corporate pockets eventually win anyway.

Following on from a recent conversation with @rl_dane about running Joy+Horton #vi in one of its three (sic!) 'open' modes on a paper terminal:
I decided to see whether any modern #termcap or #terminfo database actually had any settings anywhere for switching dot matrix printers between near-letter, draft, and letter quality modes.
#Illumos, #OpenBSD, #Debian, and #NetBSD all use the Dickey terminfo.src. #FreeBSD is the only one maintaining a different database. It is still maintaining the old BSD termcap file, in 2026.
Neither of the databases have sdrfq/snlq/snrmq or ZG/ZL/ZK capabilities in any record.
This stuff exists solely as words on a manual page (and reprints of the same in various books) and a single Usenet post by Oliver Okrongli in 1994. It's not even in the O'Reilly termcap+terminfo book.
We should prune such stuff that apparently has never really existed.

Salut le Fediverse,

Chapter 3 of my thesis, “Software Obsolescence: Analysis and Remediation Strategies” is devoted to analyzing maintenance in @debian. In it, I discover that maintenance is a collective socio-technical process that extends far beyond #Debian, into the broader ecosystem of free software and the global digital infrastructure. It teaches us a different way of thinking about changes and updates to computer systems—one that is centered on the people affected by them.

At this point, my main reason for recommending #Fedora over #Debian is that both grub and the LUKS prompt are graphical, rather in teensy text mode. Also, Fedora lets you re-attempt the LUKS password more times before pooping you into an inscrutable (for newbies) grub recovery mode.
That may sound incredibly trivial to an old neckbeard like myself, but it's a huge difference for newbies.
I'm also now investigating #NixBook OS for newbie recommendations. I'm not in love with Nix as a distro, but massive props to @codemonkeymike for all of his efforts, in both creating that OS spin, and in serving his community by providing free laptops rescued from e-waste.

Question for Linux / Apple fans:
I'm considering buying an Apple Neo, to dual boot Linux Mint #Debian Edition on it.
Are there any specific concerns with using #Apple Silicon? Am I restricted in the #Linux distros and available packages?
I like the price point of the Apple Neo, and the fact that it comes loaded with creative tools, which I use heavily. For example, I have yet to find a #videoEditing tool for Linux, comparable to #iMovie. Also, Apple devices are elegant in #design and rugged in construction.
Am I better off buying a generic laptop instead? Recommendations are welcome!
Linux folks, question:
I setup a common directory under `/home` (`/home/common`) with `root:common` ownership and 775 permissions. I'd like the group to be set automatically to `common` whether I write the file or someone else does, so I think using `chmod -R 2775` would achieve that. Is there a way I can similarly automatically set the ownership to `root`? Or do I manually have to do that each time I add new files/directories?

Anybody have experience repairing the Macbook chiclet keyboards? I have a Macbook A1534 that is a nifty little accessory. It's amazing how peppy and useful it is, like 11 years old (now that it's running #debian).
Anyways, the space bar on the keyboard is borked. It works about half the time. My best description is that it's not springing back up to the right high point when I press it. It kinda goes down and stays down. If I press fairly hard, it registers a space. With an external keyboard and mouse, this thing is great. Works perfectly. But with the space bar being wonky, it's hard to use on its own. Here's some photos. Anyone have tips on what I might do to repair/fix it?
I took it to a UBreakIFix place and (a) they say fixing it requires replacing the whole top plate, not just the keyboard, and (b) they can't get those any more. I would much rather fix the space bar than try to do open-heart surgery on a glued-together macbook.
Any suggestions, recommendations? Feel free to boost. Check replies before you reply, just to see if someone else already made the same suggestion.
@ploum I aligned with you on #Ubuntu having all kind annoying things like Snap. I prefer #LinuxMint ship with Cinnamon, easy to migrate Windows users on it. I would say the difference of LinuxMint over #Debian is
* Ubuntu deb versions so much more up to date than Debian stable
* That's helping on the software/hardware compatibility ( compatible deb, and more recent kernel supported )
For a stable system and long support #Debian is amazing

People who are new to @prav may be wondering why they need to give a govt id and 1000 rupees to become a member?
Even long term #FreeSoftware community members might be wonder why do we need to bother with all these?
Don't we just need #vi vs #emacs or #kde vs #gnome vs #sway fights?
Don't we just need to have #Arch vs #Debian vs #Fedora choice?
There are two additional challenges in addition to maintaining software,
1. Run the service reliably - pay bills
2. Break network effects
We've release #Livi 0.5.0, our light video player for mobile 📼 . It now shows a proper status page when processing a URL (by @tpikonen ) and can (optionally) avoid display notches in landscape mode when the #Wayland compositor sends the necessary information (e.g. #phoc does). It's already updated in #Debian and on #flathub.

Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.
