Debian has two new mirrors in India. Thanks to both CUSAT and NITC University Campus for hosting mirrors, helping distribute Debian https://lists.debian.org/debian-dug-in/2024/10/msg00003.html #debian #debianindia
(Un detalle muy importante es que despues de instalar el tradicional LMDE con la version estable de #debian, me pase inmediatamente a la version #testing, pues viene con muchos de los paquetes mas al dia, y se supone que no deberia ser ya un problema para el usuario de escritorio. No por nada #Ubuntu se basa(ba) en debian testing)
Y hoy se me ocurrio apagar el laptop. Y cuando lo inicie me encuentro con que ni X, ni #Budgie se inician correctamente, y me envia deja solo en la pantalla de ingreso.
Ahora me toca ver que metapaquete puede restaurar todo lo perdido.
¿Alguien puede darme una mano?
So far in #debphoshfund our efforts were in identifying priority areas for mobile gnu/linux.
Now we are moving to the next stage, contacting maintainers of specific projects and setting up a bounty / targeted fund raising.
Our first such project is make @organicmaps adaptive / responsive on mobile screen.
Currently gnu/linux frontend is different from android and ios. It is using QT but not yet using kirigami or other options smaller screens.

We have our first contribution from #debutsav already! https://lists.debian.org/debian-js/2024/10/msg00000.html
Muhammed Asif updated node-elliptic to latest upstream version, pushed their changes to debian's gitlab instance, salsa and sent 'request for sponsor (rfs)' mail to debian-js mailing list!

Thanks to all volunteers of @FOSS_MEC for organizing! Sepecial thanks to @subins2000 for leading the efforts, @weepingclown , @vivekkj and Abhijith PA (bhe) for live troubleshooting during packaging workshop
#debutsav #kochi group photo. We had a session to introduce #FreeSoftware and #Debian Then people with a debian based system joined for packaging workshop. Others went for documentation sprint.
I showed updating node-del package from 7.0.0 to 7.1.0 and many people followed me and built node-del 7.1.0 in their own machines. Some started working on updating other nodejs / ruby packages to newer minor / patch releases. Hopefully some of them will stick around and contribute.
In #debphoshfund project, next poll is picking an #xmpp app.
https://codema.in/p/klGbQYVw/pick-one-xmpp-app-to-support
We won't be able find a single protocol or app for instant messaging, so we will have to support many apps.
Gotta give #Debian (and #Ubuntu by extension) credit.
if you install it on a server VM and walk away for a while, you can apt update && apt dist-upgrade with confidence that when you reboot your VM will still work.
That's worth something in my book. Quite a bit actually.
(This message brought to you by my realization that my IRC Convos VM was screamingly out of date and also wasn't running tailscale funnel yet, which BTW is the Way and the Light for pragmatic #selfhosting who like convenience and aren't trying to model Production)
And the #exim config is even older! That originated as exim 2 running on an #SGI #Indy, which was copied to exim2 on #Redhat (I think) running on a #Tadpole #Sparcbook, then copied to exim 2 on #Debian (which it is now on) and upgraded to exim 3 and then exim 4 with numerous tweaks along the way. Needless to say it's a goddamn mess.

Debian 12 posiblemente sea una de las distribuciones más sólidas y a prueba de fallos. Eso la hace ideal como distribución de trabajo.
Sin embargo para gaming hay que reconocer que "stable" precisamente no tiene los paquetes más modernos y eso puede impactar a la hora de jugar.
Recientemente han publicado Mesa 24.2 en backports, que junto con el kernel 6.10, permiten seguir en stable pero con unas versiones mucho más actualizadas.
We are voting for priority issues for mobile gnu/linux from 15 issues that are proposed in the last month.

Organic Maps came first, but GNOME Maps was a very close second. I'm wondering if it is better to support both apps since a large number of users care about both.
The idea is to crowd fund any missing features in the selected apps.

#linux neepery: distros [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Whenever it comes into your head to think: "I shall create a new Linux Distribution!":
consider if you could build 1-200 packages to turn #Debian into what you want, instead.
If you aren't dead set against the .deb package format, the coordination effort required to get what you really want built on top of Debian will be much less than the effort required to figure out the answers to infrastructure questions that you haven't even realized are questions yet.
I'm not suggesting that you try to emulate Ubuntu's behavior, either: you don't need to re-build all of Debian's packages. All you need to do is maintain an apt repository of your new and changed packages, and set up a website and a mailing list.
What can you change? Pretty much anything, as long as you're wiling to do the work. Debian main is all open source under licenses that let you change and redistribute your changes. Building a new GUI to compete with X and Wayland? Have strong opinions on the kernel, or on libc? Want to specify your One True Desktop System? It might not be popular, but it's a lot easier to get what you want by extending and replacing Debian than it is to build everything from scratch.
And, of course, you can advertise the ease of transitioning from Debian to YourDistro by adding a repo (one line in one file) and installing an install-me package that depends on all your other changes.
Tl;DR: most distributions shouldn't do all the work of being distributions.
I'd like to comission someone to make a #debian package for capypdf with dev package so I can program with it in #inkscape
A PPA or your own http location is fine, as long as people can be given instructions for installing it. We can work on builds for other OSes later.
C++23, mason, you can package the python but it's not needed.
DM me a price or if you're interested in volunteering for inkscape cmyk/pdf support.

How To Install #VirtualBox 7.1 In #Debian 12 #Linux
I got a strange keyboard problem at work, I wonder if somebody here can help.
I have a Macbook Pro, running quite recent OS X. I run VMWare Fusion on it, and I have a Debian 11 virtual machine.
This week I noticed that the Finnish keyboard dead keys don't work anymore. I use them to type characters like ~, ^ and `. It used to work so that I type the dead key and then space and I get the character.
Now it does not work.

@neil Interesting! Cyber Essentials is an absolute nightmare for companies that solely use #foss I can assure you. @codeenigma had a fight to get #Debian past the 'auditors' (read: call-centre staff with scripts) in the first place, gave up on Cyber Essentials Plus because IASME insist they need to install agents on all your machines to do their 'technical audit'. I have zero confidence in their 'auditors' collective competence, so ALL THE NOPE! 🙄 Will look at 'Pathways', good find!

We started a poll earlier at #debphoshfund to pick a maps/navigation app. @agx suggested we come up with a list of desired features and check with the maintainers of the app we pick that they are in alignment and open to accepting contributions for those to avoid conflicts later or having to fork. See if we missed listing any important features.

Some people were reluctant to join codema.in so you might want to join via XMPP or Matrix to get updates, though polls would still happen via codema.in (tracking this in multiple places would be too much work).

BOINC is installed on my home server running Debian. I elect to use the latest stable *.deb packages from the project's repository vs the (older) packages provided by Debian.
To monitor/manage the service I either SSH into the server and use the command line tool boinccmd or access remotely from my desktop using the graphical BOINC Manager.
This is how I do it...
Yay!
Thanks for putting so much energy and enthusiasm into making #MNTReform work so nicely with #Debian ... maybe sometime I can even lend a hand. :)

BOINC is a FLOSS "distributed supercomputer" of volunteer personal computers dedicated to science.
The truth is that our devices are now so powerful that often their CPUs are idle upwards of 99% of the time waiting for work. BOINC can be configured to use as little or as much of the computational capacity of a device as you desire.
BOINC is currently installed on my desktop running LMDE. This is how I do it:

Use GNU/Linux (not android) as a daily driver already?
Have you tried using and given up?
Are you keen to switch away from #Android to a more sustainable approach to developing an operating system, where collecting maximum personal data is not its driving philosophy?
@neil I tend to re-install #Debian on my laptop a few times a year, just because. WiFi networks and their credentials get wiped when I do that.
(I've made it easy to install Debian. It usually takes less than a minute of my attention, plus up to a couple of hours of wall clock time to install all the software and to restore three million files from backup.)
