Re: VirtualBox (VB) and Windows on Debian
Le 16/07/2024 à 16:31, jeremy ardley a écrit : VirtualBox is not supported on Debian 12. why ? I use it daily and it works well on my debian 12... There are alternatives that include: - KVM/QEMU - VMWare Workstation Pro (which is now free for private use) cool ! will try it too :) In my experience KVM/QEMU is fairly stable. The VMWare product not so much. Given everything is virtual you can easily try all options in an hour or two. Regards, Jeff
Re: CD/DVD is obsolete or deprecate at 2025?
Hello ^^) Le 18/06/2024 à 03:00, Stefan Monnier a écrit : Is there a chance to change in next versions i.e. Debain 13 or other versions an assembly specifically for a USB flash drive as primary download? Do you think the time has come? When do you think this moment will happen? AFAIK, all the so-called CD/DVD images work just fine when "burned" on a USB flash drive. So I think the question is whether it's time to change the doc to stop suggesting that those images should be burned onto optical media. Just a question : why should we ditch the cd or dvd just because some guys said that's it was obsolete or inferior to the usb keys et al ? Memory keys (and ssd and downlodable audio and ...) all have still a major flaw in regard to hard stuff like CD dvd or real hard disks, and it's their 'volatility'. these memory devices just dies on us with their contents (our valuable or paid for datas, way more often than a hard disk or cd dvd stuff. and I don't think this will change soon, not where we are now in technology. btw, the industry pushes forward a total abandon of hard copy of the stuff we buy with good money, only to ensure that we would buy it again if it was to disapear 'magically' and the buying contract says so in one form or another... Remember the 'robbery' that has occured when buyers of electronic books found a day that some of their bought books had vanished from their readers devices 'cause the reseller contract had been broke by the publisher of the books with some merchants ? That will be impossible with a real book, or cd, dvd, physical bought software. (well if your house doesn't catch a fire at least ;)) industry does not want you to own what you pay for in hard form. as well as banks are pushing to the abandon of physical money (notes or coins) to have even more control of your hard won money and have you dancing in their hands... sorry if it's OT, but just think to all this by yourselves. ^^)

I am wondering if you have some, most, all, or none of these packages installed, Pyzor, Razor, DCC? If so how did you get them going and how did you get them to start? No, I haven't. apt can't find ddc, what is the correct packet name? I only have installed Cyrus, sendmail and opendkim. If you have problems setting up other services, specify which server packages you use and how they should interact. -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 171254mu...@cartoonies.org
Re: Bookworm Fasttrack and Virtualbox
Hello :) Le 15/03/2024 à 00:26, Miguel A. Vallejo a écrit : Hello! This evening I tried to install virtualbox into a fresh Bookworm install. I followed the steps in Virtualbox's Debian Wiki entry. After set up fasttrack repository successfully and issue a apt install virtualbox command I get: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualbox: Depends: python3 (< 3.10) but 3.11.2-1+b1 is to be installed Depends: python3.9 but it is not installable Depends: libgsoap-2.8.104 but it is not installable Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable Depends: libvpx6 (>= 1.6.0) but it is not installable Recommends: virtualbox-qt (= 7.0 .6-dfsg-1~fto11+1) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: libqt5opengl5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I was surprised by the python 3.9 dependency, it leads me to think fasttrack repos are abandoned? What is the right way to install virtualbox in Debian Bookworm? why not just go to virtualbox.org and download the deb install file ? no need for a repo there. Jeff
