I have a limited internet connection. So I will need to find internet cafes and grab whole damn thing (which is what, 100gb?) I think I saw 4 BDs for past releases, but I cannot find a mirror that has BDs for Bookworm. But perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place.. it’s often quite non-intuitive to navigate. I looked here:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-amd64/current/images/

and here:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/

The docs:

https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch04s02.en.html#where-files

I just see small files. No ISOs. I’m not just after the Debian system, but all official packages as well. In principle I would want an installer and a separate disk that is all DEB files, but IIRC the only way to easily get a full set is to get the BD ISOs.. maybe via torrent, not sure. I have no optical drive, so I guess I would put the ISOs on a drive and mount them.

I know it’s theoretically possible to go through the list of apps I need and find out which CDs they are on, but I looked at just Libre Office and LaTeX and noticed the files for these packages were scattered all over the place. So it really seems impossibly complex and I get the impression I will likely need every single CD anyway.

There was recently a mini DebConf in Cambridge where the Debian GNU/Linux release team held a spring and figured out some items moving forward, including the dim future for i386 moving forward.

I recently upgraded to bookworm from bullseye.
I have /etc/exports:
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported /mnt/storage/medialibrary/tv/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/storage/medialibrary/music/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/storage/medialibrary/movies/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) /mnt/recordings/ 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

As a client running on a Vero 4K+, OSMC, mt /etc/fstab:
#nfs mounts 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/tv/ /mnt/tv nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/movies /mnt/movies nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/storage/medialibrary/music /mnt/music nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0 10.0.0.38:/mnt/recording/ /mnt/recordings nfs auto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,hard,intr,noatime 0 0

from the client:
'sudo mount -a

If I change the /etc/exports to:
'/mnt/recordings/ 10.0.0.29(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)`
Explicitly label the IP
'df -h

Has something changed in bookworm in regards to nfs mounts?
Thanks

I have a Debian Bullseye system, ASUS PN53 (built in Radeon graphics) with two monitors, one connected via HDMI and one using a USB-C adapter.

When xscreensaver locks the screen, only the HDMI monitor displays a screen saver. The USB-C monitor continues to show whatever windows were on it, although the screen lock works to the extent that you can't interact with them until you unlock.

Mate-screensaver worked correctly, but xscreensaver is superior, and also I'm now using Xfce-4.

Suggestions?

This is not surprising given how young #kbin is. However, I wonder if there are any projects underway. Are there any existing non-Debian / unofficial kbin clients that are functional in the slightest?

Hi

Does anybody know where to download the free (lite) server packages for Debian?

I don't need a 14 days demo time. Only need the free version without cloud functions.. Thanks

Woo Hoo! No need for snap anymore. We pure Debian users are no longer limited to just LXC anymore (https://wiki.debian.org/LXD). Thanks to all the dev's (especially Mathias Gibbens) for all the hard work on this.

Now... time for me to explore pure Debian servers to displace Proxmox/LXC for some use cases.

You may see an influx of invaders caused by the decision from redhat...

Debian 12 "Bookworm" will be released tomorrow.
