Upgrade bookworm > trixie underway

#debian

My tech project for this weekend is to fix the stuff that upgrading to #Debian #Trixie broke. Current status: #procrastinating.

#Linux

On the 13th of October, 21 years ago, #debiangis was born. Let me remember that time and write some thoughts about it..

So I am seriously considering moving to #FreeBSD16 and away from #Debian

Not because I don't like #Debian, because I do. #Debian13 is a great release, and so have the last 10+ years of releases been (mostly) great.

I'm conscious I have limited requirements, use #XFCE as my desktop, plus a few common apps that are all in FreeBSD or available via ports.

The only niggle is around #Docker and #KVM, which I do use both of today, although for the latter I can just go with #qemu and #virtmanager

#Docker is a bit more of a challenge as I understand it.

Before I start any bare-metal testing, I was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on what I could or should do around #Docker when using a #BSD

My notes about installing a plain #debian stable distribution on a #terramaster basic NAS for personal use.

https://lovergine.com/installing-debian-on-a-usb-stick-for-a-terramaster-nas.html

When building software, I believe it is important to work in public. Software can give small groups of developers immense power over lots of people. Like how governments work in public and corporations have to be more public than private company, developers should be transparent not only with their source code, but also the discussions and processes while building it. This can be hard to get used to, but not bad once used to it. Great examples of this are #Debian #GitLab and IMHO #FDroid

Celeron N3350 #chromebook running #debian on battery, with one core disabled and the other throttled to 800mhz. Running the one internal #wifi interface and a second on USB. 51h of battery? I'll take it.

Anyone else on #Debian #13 #Trixie having issues with reverse hostname (IP to hostname) resolution on the lan? avahi-tools can give me the hostname, but host doesn't.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 7 has hit the download mirrors! Here is one at a German university: https://ftp.fau.de/mint/iso/debian/

When I downloaded the ISO image yesterday, it still had beta status. That did not prevent me from installing it on my son's laptop. What follows are first impressions from a mixed father & son perspective.

I switched from MS-DOS straight to GNU/Linux and never used Windows much. My preferred distro is #Debian because it is the universal operating system created by a large, global community. I spend most of my time on the command line.

My son is now ready to give up Windows because support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, and he does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 due to all of the malware it comes with.

He installed and occasionally used Linux Mint (which is based on Ubuntu) on an old computer in the past. As Debian 13 (“trixie”) is quite fresh and also rock-solid, I wanted to give #LMDE another try. Many years ago, my parents used it happily.

LMDE comes with the #Cinnamon desktop which looks a lot like Windows. You can download an official Debian live ISO with Cinnamon pre-installed. I tried it, but it clearly has not been configured quite as lovingly as Linux Mint's. No wonder – Linux Mint developed Cinnamon in the first place.

To my mind, this makes LMDE7 the ideal choice for beginners and pros alike. Installing it (even with full disk encryption) is a breeze – if you give it the entire disk to play with. Try to avoid multi-boot installations if at all possible. If you need Windows later, you can run it in a virtual machine. Be sure to make a complete backup of your Windows system first! We used the free Rescuezilla for this.

So far, we have not run into any issue with LMDE7. OK, there was one gotcha: When configuring automatic backups in Timeshift, do not choose the boot partition as the target. It would fill up very quickly.

I think I need to find a replacement for Scrivener. It runs *okay* in Linux, but there are some real issues.

No need to give me links to other Scrivener-like programs. I'm aware of them.

But if you write long-form in Linux, what do you use and *why*? I'm really curious about that.

It's been a while since I've used my Debian installer last. I need to install three laptops today, so hopefully bringing v-i up to date won't be too big of a job.

#Linux users, immediately after you do a new install what do you still have to do? I've been perplexed by what is and isn't included or available in the installer(s) and curious if this experience is ubiquitous. My experience is with #debian , #devuan , and #fedora.

Just received a new #terramaster F2-425 NAS for consolidating my set of old external SATA disks.
Over the last 20 years, I've accumulated a lot of old units and DVDs for photos, videos, converted magnetic tapes, and various digital stuff. Time to use a decent RAID array for that and reduce noise.
Still not sure if I will install #debian or use TOS.
Hey, any suggestions from other #geeks?

Well I just installed Debian GNU/Hurd on my Thinkpad T60. It has some papercuts. The Hurd could only detect the harddrive if if set up the harddrive to "compatibility". I think that means the BIOS tries to make the harddrive appear as an PATA device...? After the install, apt tried to install software from the installer CD, not from debian.org. Ethernet worked, but boot up showed some errors with hd2...not sure why it does that. #hurd #debian

My kids are running #Debian #Trixie and are experiencing a thing where at random intervals they seem to lose all network processing for a few seconds (resulting in them getting kicked from Minecraft but also a continuous ping will show like a 10 second gap between sending packets). I'm thinking of upgrading the kernel to try to avoid this but has anyone else seen this? Its not the whole #linux #kernel since buffered video still plays in Firefox for example.

9to5Linux Weekly Roundup - October 5th, 2025

@civodul @dthompson @daviwil #Debian arrived at this after years, this is unfortunate, but in the meantime we as community-based distributions lost a lot of users due to the barrier of accessing common hardware. That's even if for years the non-free installer and iso images were available for such cases.
My honest opinion is that current battles are about other IT hot topics: cloud, fair sustainability, monopolies, digital rights and open protocols, not firmware blobs.

@inlovewithpda I had the same evolution years ago moving from #debian sid with Awesome WM for daily use to stable with Gnome with Tactile extension for my one workspace-one application workflow. Babysitting too many different boxes is not scalable, now I prefer using intensively containers and VMs on a rock solid distribution for development and general computing.

Over next 1-2 weeks,I'd appreciate an extended thread re: #FrameworkLaptop, #mntreform, & #FOSS.

TL;DR on my idiosyncratic needs:
* minimize binary firmware blobs¹
* Having 2 disks in RAID-1²
* Runs stock Official #Debian stable³
* Understanding best current replacement keyboard options⁴

Is @frameworkcomputer or @mntmn better for me?

As I **hate** “please boost” requests, I don't so-ask, *but* I'd be glad if ∃ active engagement on this.

Anyone using #pdfpc (PDF presenter console) on #GNOME 48 (from #Debian Trixie)? It no longer works for me since the Trixie upgrade: it now shows both presenter and presentation windows on the same display. -1/-2 fiddling doesn't change anything, and even manually moving the presentation window to the right display doesn't help, because it has the wrong size.

@SO_UnivRennes
In #debian, there are multiple tools to analyze code. I'm generally addicted to licensecheck, which is a helpful #perl helper for such things. Of course, it is not usable with dependencies, so a manual check is due for that. Currently, a possible base to start would probably be your preferred LLM

#Debian #armel has reached end of life with the release of #trixie and will not be included in #forky (already being removed from sid).

Unfortunately, that means e-waste for the affected devices, such as several older #RPi editions (unless switching to Raspian, which may or may not even work or support them for longer and is effort anyway).

armel has not been part of #LTS and #ELTS for a while, but this was not a problem as it’s a minority architecture and users could always upgrade (btw, if your armel box is still running bookworm, you’ll want to be on trixie by 2026-06-10).

I asked for it to be included in trixie LTS and ELTS, so that the old hardware can be used mostly securely until about 2035 instead of 2028, and the limiting factor for this is not will or infrastructure but funding. (While most security fixes aren’t specific to one of the architectures in question, there’s still some overhead, and armel is often slower to build and may need some more hand-holding than the newer armhf and arm64, so I believe that funding is actually needed.)

I’m just a private individual running one box with it I got as a gift, so I cannot offer much, but if you care about Debian and can offer funding, please approach @freexian (who organise LTS and offer ELTS as a separate-from-Debian offer) about this (and specifically mention armel).

If someone has connections to organisations involved in devices that cannot run armv7 hardfloat Debian or better, such as the #Raspberry Pi foundation, please ask them to contribute to #Freexian in the same way, so we can have proper Debian on these devices for seven years longer than planned.

Thanks in advance.

You can get half the fix by running an Xorg session, where it doesn't crash but artifacts appear.

#ayuda fediverso #dns
estoy rehaciendo mi homelab por numero 37 (aprox) y claramente se me ha olvidado algo elemental de configuracion dns

setup:
#proxmox, contendor #lxc #debian corriendo #technitium en 192.168.236.102

mi pese en 192.168.236.231
tengo una zona primara ".lab", hice una entrada "revxy" que apunta a 192.168.236.201

si lo resuelvo desde el panel de technitium mismo, me da la direccion adecuada. pero desde mi ordenador, aun especificando el servidor dns (aunque sea ya el primario), se salta completamente la entrada y va al root-servers

Buenos días / TZAG! 👋

"Grabemos un ej de config de un #firewall con #NFtables en #Linux, algo simple" me dije ayer.

Abrí el #gns3, añadí el firewall, una LAN, lo conecté a Internet via #nat

"Ya está" me dije... "no pará, y su sumamos una #DMZ?"

Puse dos servidores #Debian con un switch y un segmento IP diferente.

Enchufé los "cables", le di play, y grabé una hora de video configurando reglas de firewall!💪

Van 6h de video 😱

Last weekend, we reached another milestone in our efforts to have all Debian packages versioned in Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance). Out of around 39000 packages, less than 2000 are not in Salsa! Check https://trends.debian.net/#vcs-hosting for some cool graphs #debian #salsa #09

Finally a new video out... it has been some time. 🙂

Interesting page about software names and what they mean 🙂

From the wiki page:
"An IT-etymology/linuxguistics page for people wondering "how come the package yasysmand-cling has such a strange name?"

The #Debian wiki sure has some interesting pages 😎

9to5Linux Weekly Roundup for August 31st, 2025

Published a blog post on documenting my steps in installing #Debian with #Btrfs and encryption https://ravidwivedi.in/posts/installing-debian-with-btrfs-and-encryption/ .

📢 @prav server upgrade test

Hi all, I'm currently running upgrades on a test version of the #Prav server, to prepare for a full upgrade. I'll be upgrading the #Debian version from #Bookworm to #Trixie, which will also upgrade #ejabberd in the process and unblock a new version of our Android #app from being released.

Since it's only on a test server for now normal operations should remain unaffected. I'll report back here when it's done and schedule a time to run the upgrade on the main server.

Published a short blog post about why I use Debian.

I linked to that section too, but in a way that is less likely to break in the future.

While they (may) have a valid argument, my (main) problem is that they decide all by themselves, thus without any outside input.

They could've brought this up to the kernel community/maintainers and find a way to address the issue. But they don't.
They just break things for everyone and demand they 'fix' things as they dictate.

Even waiting for #Debian Policy to change was too much.

@FreePietje Aurélien Jarno said:

Please also note that this is also the way recommended by the Linux
kernel documentation:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst#n221

And later Luca Boccassi explained in more detail why they adopted the change. It seems reasonable not to keep security bugs for compatibility reasons.

I spent this weekend at a BBQ in England, with many Debian developers, among other people. It's an annual event and this wasn't my first time. I really enjoyed it, even if I'm not a Debian developer any more, nor wanting to re-join the project. Listening to the quiet murmur of Debian development discussions happening is becalming, nostalgic, and reassuring to me.

I use, like, and trust Debian. I'll stick to it until I have very good reasons to switch.

It was a lot of work (fun?) while it lasted!

Maybe not a permanent #Debian saying goodbye to #Guix but at least for now...
