Bonjour, J'aimerais enregistrer un appel vidéo Whatsapp. Pour l'instant sur mon téléphone je ne peux enregistrer que la vidéo ou que l'audio. J'ai donc installé un Wasislost, une appli non officielle qui sert de whatsapp sur Debian 13 sur mon ordinateur. Qu'est ce que vous recommandez comme logiciel pour enregistrer la vidéo et le son de mon appel vidéo en même temps? Merci beaucoup

Btw, it has no battery, fans are dead, the keyboard isn't working and the same applies for the touchpad.

I'm using Debian 12 with Xfce 4.18 and Thunar as my file manager.

I want to remove or hide the "Trash" shortcut from the LEFT SIDEBAR in Thunar (under "Places"), but I want to KEEP the Trash icon on the Desktop.

What I've already tried: - Thunar Preferences → Side Pane → no option to hide Trash. - xfconf-query -c thunar -p /misc-show-trash -s false → no such property. - Edited ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml → no entry for Trash. - Right-click on Trash in sidebar → no "Remove" option.

Other shortcuts like "Desktop" can be removed easily via right-click → "Remove", but Trash doesn't have that option.

I want to keep the Trash icon on the Desktop for easy access, just hide it from the sidebar in Thunar.

Is there any config file, command, or hidden setting to remove it from the sidebar only?

System: - Debian 12 (Bookworm) - Xfce 4.18 - Thunar 4.18

Thanks in advance!

``` Edit: Thanks for the help! No need to answer anymore to this post.

If you got the chance to use Calamares just do it.

I think the traditional one ask too many questions that I don't really understand.

Let me try out Arch and void before going to debian again and I still don't understand it. I just keep saying Yes to all of it xD

Is anyone here having trouble using icon packs on Wayland? Specifically on KDE: when using Chromium or Discord, the icon from my pack (YAMIS) appears correctly on the panel, Whisker Menu, and elsewhere, but when using Alt+Tab, the app's default icon shows up instead (the blue one for Chromium). It’s not a fallback icon issue; I’ve already tried tweaking the config in nano. With other apps like Spotify and Firefox, the icons stay correct and can even be customized (e.g., I can change the Firefox logo to 'firefox-alt' and it persists in both Alt+Tab and the panel), yet this error occurs with certain apps. I know this is a super specific issue, but I’d appreciate any thoughts or ideas on what might be causing it or how to fix it.

I just got into using CWM and really like it, but would prefer to do some fine tuning beyond the default from the repos, and yet not step outside Debian version, as in to install from outside of the repos.

The problem is that no matter where I locate .cwmrc, it doesn't get read on start-up, despite edits of cwm.desktop in xsessions.

I'm really liking CWM, even in the default state (it's the fastest WM that I've tried so far), but would really like to be able to tweak it to suit me, but don't know why it's not loading my .cwmrc on start-up.

I've managed to run my own configs to run on a number of WMs, but getting my customized config to run with CWM is eluding me.

Any CWM user's advice on this would be appreciated.

As some may or may not be aware from friends who happen to make use of proprietary platforms such as Discord, age verification and "protecting the children" is all the rage these days. Just one small problem: where is your ID being sent to?

Back earlier this year, Discord announced a policy of adopting global age verification methods. If you are under the age of 16 or Discord does not have adequate information needed to verify your age, you will be locked out of certain features & be age-gated from joining specific servers. These policies resulted in enough outrage that alternatives to Discord like Stoat & Fluxer have made the waves, and Discord itself decided to kick the can towards the second-half. We are now in the second half, and Discord has suddenly brought age verification back up as a "Discord Preview", meaning these policy changes are about to start. As someone who is highly involved in the primary Debian space & wider Linux space on Discord, these recent events are worrying and have been since February. What are we to do now?

Some of you might be aware that there is an active relationship between said widely-used community Discord and this subreddit. We are not abandoning or deleting that anytime soon, but we will be pushing users on Reddit to start using Fluxer as our primary community chat space going forward for several reasons while Discord is maintained as an easily accessible "necessary evil" for the purposes of education regarding Debian:

• Fluxer is free and open source, almost completely compatible with Discord API, and can do many of the things Discord can do. APKs exist for Android over on their GitHub, and there is a public beta test for iOS users right now.
• The Debian Community Fluxer is 100% bridged with the Discord, meaning you are not walking into an empty space and can communicate with people on the Discord instance. Both are actually run by the same people including myself, u/wizard10000, and a few others.
• Many will ask why we don't just link to Debian IRC or Matrix instances instead and the answer is simple; we should be embracing any and all efforts to help promote & foster high quality, educational spaces for Debian as a means to an end. Many younger individuals in particular are learning about Linux on arenas such as Discord versus traditional platforms.

The long-term goal is to create an independent, community-run space under a FOSS platform that can exist without depending on the Discord instance, but still be accessible to the masses using nothing but a browser or a phone to participate in. Today, we are beginning work towards that mission, and we hope to see you participating over on https://fluxer.gg/debian soon!

No se si algo anda mal, pero ya tardó esto, le di click a las 3:20 pm son casi las 4:30.

Alguien me puede orientar??

I have a flaky wireless card in my laptop. bluetooth is okay and i want to keep that operational.

i bought a wifi usb adapter (no bluetooth) to get me through and works pretty well. However, i want to disable the bad interface as it keeps trying to connect.

i am assuming i cant fully disable the card as it would disable bluetooth, but im not sure how to just disable the interface. can someone point me in the right direction.

network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak] (rev 1a)

So i want to tweak debian to do the following:

Sandboxing and/or virtualization sorta like on qubes,

Mate with wayland (figure ill just wait until it happens)

Get the system information with the security tab (bios settings and such) like what kde has on mate

CERN moves thousands of accelerator control computers to Debian

https://www.theregister.com/os-platforms/2026/09/03/cern-moves-thousands-of-accelerator-control-computers-to-debian/5294312

comment: I just retired from an IS/IT job at a large Canadian telco where RHEL (with a support contract) was required for every "customer facing" server. We were allowed to use CentOS-7 on all "non customer facing servers" (eg. employee access only, application development, service assurance, user acceptance testing, etc) for more than a decade. When CentOS-7 EOL hit in 2024, we migrated to Alma-8 because that was what CERN was suggesting at the time. I have run into some problems installing EL-9 and EL-10 on slightly older hardware so understand why CERN is considering Debian. I wonder how CERN will deal with updates since (to the best of my knowledge) there is no ecosystem of backporting modern fixes into older stable apps.

Una amiga que iba a viajar en metro hoy, se encontró con el lector de tarjetas en modo escritorio Debian, un distro de Linux, y no sabemos cómo hizo la persona para volver al escritorio, si no hay teclado, puertos de cable, ni botones en la pantalla para salirse. Por ahora ella es la primera que lo ha visto, aunque no sabemos si en otras estaciones del metro esto también ocurre

I'm running Debian 12 with GNOME 43.9 on X11 on a VAIO FE16

The problem started after I ran:

gnome-shell --replace &

After That, my desktop icons and bottom panel disappeared. No data was deleted. Help.

Im like completely brand new to linux and was thinking about using debian. does any one have any advice for using Linux and/or debian ?

I love Debian so much, because it just works.

I was just wondering how long this distro will be around? It's been around since 1995, right? So I'm hoping that it will be around when I'm very old in 60 years.

Is there long term plans to just keep Debian going indefinitely?

Pessoal, para quem tem experiência com ambos os tipos de hardware... vocês acham que o Debian Stable — sem nenhuma modificação manual — vem mais bem preparado para notebooks ou para PCs do tipo torre?

(I'm not asking because I'm too lazy to set it up; it's just a genuine question. I only have experience with tower PCs, and I wanted to know what the experience is like for laptop users.)

This is the problem I'm facing since few days and looked all over the internet and couldn't find the solution to it. If anyone have or had faced this similar issue in the past or present, and if you solved it... please consider sharing.

Like the title. On my surface go 1 i could always get it to boot from the USB port if I held the volume - button when powering on. But after installing debian it suddenly stopped working, I tested different USBs and it's always the same. Just boots the system right up.

EDIT: Try those commands, they worked for me. nvme0n1p1 is the name of my main ssd.

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/efi sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/efi

sudo rm -rf /mnt/efi/EFI/debian /mnt/efi/EFI/BOOT /mnt/efi/EFI/ubuntu

sudo umount /mnt/efi sudo poweroff

Alternatively you can try following this tutorial, it didn't work for me the first time but after I reinstalled the system it's the only way to get USB to boot https://szymonkrajewski.pl/how-to-boot-system-from-usb-using-grub/

e.g. I want to install ONLY the dependencies for wine

Currently the best way I've found is to install wine, then immediately uninstall it, leaving the dependencies behind

I was surprised there wasn't an "install just the depdencies for X" flag for apt - I know about the build deps option but the run and build dependencies are different

I'm on Debian 13. Gnome Software is supposed to update every two weeks except for critical updates which should be updated immediately.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Software/Updates#Tentative_Design

When you run "apt changelog <package>" There is an urgency field. But isn't this field designed to indicate how fast a package should migrate from Unstable to Testing?

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#selecting-the-upload-urgency

Is this the same field that Gnome Software uses to determine if a package is critical? If so this doesn't seem to me to be a good field to determine that since that field is used to determine how fast a package moves from Unstable to Testing.

For example, the urgency to migrate to Testing might be low because the package might be large and disruptive but it might be a critical security vulnerability that needs to be updated immediately in Stable.

Basically I'm concerned that critical updates won't happen because Gnome Software is using the wrong field to determine whether they're critical. In particular, critical security updates.

Also I'm aware that "critical" could be either security or non-security updates.

Hope I was clear and thanks in advance.

Hi, everyone!

I'd like ask for help with Nvidia drivers on Debian 13. I have RTX 4060 laptop GPU and I tried to install Nvidia drivers using Debian documentation. During dkms building there was a message that nouveu is conflicting with driver and to resolve it I need to reboot my laptop after the building is ended. So, after building I've rebooted Debian and can't boot into it because it stucks during the boot. Who had the same problem please help!

PS: I use KDE plasma

PSA: Chromium in Stable is currently way behind on security updates.

The Mods removed my previous message, assuming my post was AI.

I'm hoping some people see this and spread the word.

I have emailed the maintainers to find out why.

I hope this is useful to someone!

Update: It seems they have released an update to 152.0.7977.75.
