Howdy all, I hope you're doing well.

I did my daily apt update today, and ended up getting a GPG error on Spotify's repositories. The log is as follows:

https://pastebin.com/N5bfMXe3

For those of you who use Spotify, are you encountering similar errors as well? If not, then how would I go about fixing this?

I apologize if this post is not necessarily related to this specific subreddit.

I've used Debian on my PC for a while now, and I decided to install it on my laptop. The batteries aren't very good and probably need replacing, but they last like 2-3 hours longer now. I can finally do things without feeling like it needs to be plugged in all the time!

To learn more about my new Linux Debian system I am going through various tutorials to bring me up to speed. The one I'm currently on is...

https://linuxconfig.org/linux-command-line-basics-for-beginners

...I'm at the point of learning to use iwlist to perform a wireless scan. Thinking it's in the PATH I type:

$ iwlist
bash: iwlist: command not found

Using PCManFM I find it in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions ... Continuing...

$ /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist
bash: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist: Permission denied
$ sudo /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist
[sudo] password for USERID: 
sudo: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist: command not found

Checking the file and permissions in PCManFM I see it's a script and set the file/script to be executable. Trying again...

$ /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist wlp5s0 scan
$ /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist --help
$ /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist --version
$ sudo /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist --version
[sudo] password for USERID: 
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwlist: 10: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")

...even trying as root...

$ /usr/share/bash-completion/completions$ su
Password:
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions# whoami
root
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions# pwd
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions# ls -al iwlist
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 607 Apr  3  2022 iwlist
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions# iwlist --version
bash: iwlist: command not found
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions# ./iwlist --version
# /usr/share/bash-completion/completions#

Looking at the script...

# iwlist completion                                        -*- shell-script -*-

_iwlist()
{
    local cur prev words cword
    _init_completion || return

    if ((cword == 1)); then
        if [[ $cur == -* ]]; then
            COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W '--help --version' -- "$cur"))
        else
            _available_interfaces -w
        fi
    else
        COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W 'scan scanning freq frequency channel rate
            bit bitrate key enc encryption power txpower retry ap accesspoint
            peers event' -- "$cur"))
    fi
} &&
    complete -F _iwlist iwlist

# ex: filetype=sh

So at this point I have to ask What am I not seeing? Why is the script not executing/erroring out?

Also is this director of scripts something I should add to the PATH? Being scripts I notice they don't have man pages to quickly find out more about them. Thanks in advance for help on this.

I love you I truly do. It has been weeks now and I still can't access themes all categories are missing. Every time I open discover I get an error it still works but is annoying. I tell everyone to just go Debian and skip the others stuff. But I am going to Zorin at least until the bugs are fixed. I am dual booting until the bugs are fixed.

i really like how testing updates come: first sid, then it goes to testing, then freezing period for like 6 months, and it starts all again.

i am fine to deal with troubleshooting, and after trixie releases, i would go to the next testing version (which would take a few months ig.)

I have been loving me some Debian on my ProxMox cluster. I am ready to take the next step in my relationship and go to dual boot.

However, when I go to install, I can’t find the W11 NVME. So, I dropped in a SSD. The install works, but I can’t find the main drive to install the boot loader.

I thought it was just a secure boot issue, so I turned it off and tried again…nothing. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

I have disabled fast boot in Windows 11 and all i can find is soultion for arch i have gone to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf but this file is empty.

Hey guys,

I'm using a .json config file (with an equalizer in it) for presetting the output audio of EasyEffects 7.2.1.

I'd like to use a copy of it for presetting the input audio. But an error message stubbornly speaks about a wrong format without further information.

Could you help?

Thanks for reading!

Hi again, the journey to finish my new PC setup is proceeding.

I'd like to "migrate" my old Windows 10 SSD + storage HDD to make it accessible from the new build, which uses Debian as a primary OS.

I have tried following the first part of this wiki but when accessing the GRUB page at startup the only boot option is Debian.

I have never dual booted, but is this option feasible? How can I detect the other SSD and add its Windows 10 to the GRUB startup boot menu?

Thank you!

Has this happened to anyone else on Debian 12 (X11). xandr only shows 1 display (although I'm not sure if nvidia drivers intercepted it before and that is normal behavior). The NVIDIA settings menu is now very bare and missing the multi-monitor configuration settings.

LLM suggested using nvidia-xconfig (which isn't installed having just checked). The description says deprecated. Could that be the issue or is there something I'm missing?

Heya! I have to admit, i am quite a noob, when it comes to linux stuff. So please be patient.

I have some home-server running with OpenMediaVault installed on top of debian. But Latley i got an issue with my kernel. When I boot, i need to go in advanced options and select the oldest kernel, to run my server, else i will get:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)

See attached photo for more details.

Any one got an idea how to fix?

In Advanced options i have the following options. I select

Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.1.0-0.deb11.7-amd64

for booting

Hello dear debian users!

I've been using mint for a little over two months now but due to unforseen circumstances, I've to reset my hard drive and I saw this as a very good opportunity to switch my distro!

Can you tell me about your experiences and another thing, how hard is it to install drivers on this? I've been having some trouble installing a driver on mint for a device called adafruit blinka mcp2221.

Back to the point, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this distro and if it's worth switching to. I program a lot tho so pls keep that in mind and I am comfortable in the terminal as well!
