Connman dependency conflict?

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I upgraded Bookworm from buster recently and I have noticed my internet 
connection sometimes cuts off. I thought the problem was conflict of 
connman and the networkmanager so I uninstalled networkmanager but the 
problem still continues.


I was checking Synaptic package manager then I have noticed if I see 
property of Connman, there is "Conflict" under the dependencies list. It 
says "Conflicts: connman"


Could this be the problem and how come this is there? How can I get rid 
of this conflict?


Appreciate any help and suggestions.

So if you use other SIP apps, that drain battery too?

I was just testing Gajim too, but I couldn't get video camera working, 
and the audio setting too cannot be saved. Also The audio call just

I had problem with Dion-im with video as well.

Today, I have been having this discussion on Debian's Reddit about LXDE
and it's future.

Even though LXDE is DEAD when it comes to development and adding new
features, I just learned today that LXDE just got a update for
LXterminal just a month or so ago. So LXDE is still getting small bug
fixes from time to time.

I have LXDE installed on a separate user... Meaning I created a new
account and then installed LXDE from that account. So my CHRIS account
is strictly used with GNOME and the LXDE account is strictly used for
LXDE.

I guess that its good to have SOMETHING installed as a backup just in
case Gnome takes a poop.

The printer has WIFI and connected to the router.

Mystery Printer

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I have a printer, Brother DCPJ562N connected to the Debian Buster PC via 
USB. Brother printer driver is installed. This printer is shared on the 
wired network.


Now, today I was trying to print the document from another PC (Debian 
Bullseye) and it did print it normally. But then I realized that the PC 
which the printer is connected was not ON.

How come the printer is still accessible from other PC then?

Is it normal? I just cannot understand why.

Ok,

I tried to install the flatpak for the first time and it works.

I do not know what is the deal with the faltpak, but I just followed the
instruction t o install and run and seems it is running without any
problems.

I was about to update the Flacon and found there is something wrong with
their release key so was searching the solution. Flacon also provide
faltpak version and it says that is the way they recommend (Now, is that
really true?) to install packages so I gave it to try.

I have tried appimage for the first time, it launched but obviously

Hi all,

What is the best way to install the latest version of the inkscape on

Buster installs inkscape 0.9 and I still encounter lots of bugs with it.
I would like to try the latest but what is the best way to install

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I just installed Debian testing, Debian Installer Buster Alpha 5 release.

I use LXDE and now I just found out that I cannot shut down from LXDE,
"Logout - Shutdown"

It gives the error saying "GDBUS Error System Error ENXIO No such drive

I tried with XFCE but still it won't shutdown, it just logs out instead.

Thank you.

I did find that when I installed "cmake", libcurl3 was replaced with
libcurl4. So I removed "cmake", run apt-cache rdepends libcurl4 and
nothing was dependent on that so I removed it, and downloaded libcurl3
and re-installed it.

Now the problem with viber is gone.

Thank you. I will have to dig more about CdEmu.

libcurl3 and libcurl4

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

As I was asking in another topic, I was trying to set up CdEmu however
during the process of installation, I had lost libcurl3 to libcurl4
which led removal of Viber application. (I don't know what I did.)

I had installed Viber as described in

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=71634#p71634


Now I cannot install the viber because lack of the libcurl3

How can I install back libcurl3?

Thanks for reply but this had lead me to deeper shit.

Forget it. I have given up. I don't want to screw whole system up.
During the process, I lost libcurl3 and I lost the application that
depends on it. CrapNow I cannot get it back because of
libcurl4...don't know what to do anymore.


Thanks anyway.

I am running Buster and got problem with GIMP after recent update as well.
I get this message

"BABL version too old!

GIMP requires BABL version 0.1.56 or later.
Installed BABL version is 0.1.46.

Somehow you or your software packager managed

Hi all,

Debian Buster on Intel karby lake CPU/Graphic.

After recent update, the screen will not come back on after it goes off
by inactive saving mode.

I have to do hard reset by turning power off.


Up until update I did not have any problem at all.

What is going on?

Thanks, seemed like I'd added multimedia repository which I now have

I don't even know what that was for.

Ok, I now know why but I do not know what caused it and how to recover.

I have software RAID1 (mirror two disks) configured and somehow it has
created different contents in /home directory for a user. I confirmed
this by booting with one disk at the time and sure enough, they have
different contents.

cat /proc/mdstat

showed one disk had been removed, I don't know when that happened.
Anyway, I re-added the disk and now it's synchronizing.

Hope this will solve the mystery.

A user with two faces?

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I am encountering mysterious phenomenon with Buster/LXDE.
Seems like my user account has two identities.

One day I log into my account, do some work, for instance I copy files
to one directory or I install an application software then logout,
shutdown or reboot.

I will login again with same account then I would find the files I had
copied are not there, or an application software I had installed wasn't
there...at all.

I logout, reboot or shutdown.

I login again then I would find those files are in fact in a directory
where I had copied. The software is installed.

As if there are two users with same account.

What is really going on with this?

I really have no clue.

yeah, that e1000e driver. I have read about it. But I do not know if my
problem is something to do with it because with Kernel 4.13, it should
work. Actually, right now it is working without any problem, internet is
connecting just fine and fast.
I really don't know what is causing this. I am suspecting something to
do with my router and the debian's the static IP setting but not sure.

Thanks for quick reply.

Yes, I am using wired connection.

different port of the router, yes I will try that.

But it seems it is some kind of software side problem. I don't know what
it is though and I have no idea where I should be looking at.

Sluggish internet connection

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

Can someone teach me where should I be looking for internet connection
problem.

Up until recently I had no problem with internet connection but since
lat couple of days ago, I have been having this strange problem that
sometimes it stops connecting the internet. It's not persistent problem
rather it occurs randomly. Funny thing is that if I
refresh network connection just by clicking network manager the
connection revives for a couple of seconds but again it stops (meaning
the web stops loading). At the time I am writing this e-mail, no problem
with internet but a while ago, it wasn't connecting. It's not the
problem with my ISP or router as I am able to connect with other PC or
smartphones.

Does anybody give me ideas what should I be looking at?

I set static local IP address but changing to automatic DHCP doesn't
change situation.

OK, I did experiment something.

What I did was I copied /.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels from working Jessie
machine to Stretch.

AND the result was success!

The one in Wheezy has panel and left files under "panels" but on
Stretch, there is only "panel" file.


For some reason LXDE fails to create these panel files correctly and
messes up. I don't know the mechanism of this process but something is
not working right.

I have posted in LXDE forum as well but I haven't got any useful response.

I don't see .config/lxpanel/default/panels
All I got is

/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels

and I really don't know what to look for.

Thank you for your input.
No, it wasn't minimizing feature of the panel. The panel was completely
gone.
Alt + F1 brings the menu on the LXDE but I did not try that.

What I have found out is that if I add the panel in addition to default
one, the default panel disappears after reboot. Some icons on the newly
added panel also disappears. AND I can not delete the newly added panel.

What I had to do is that I had to re-create my account, this time not to
mess with desktop panel.
This never happened on Jessie, Wheezy and Squeeze.

Very frustrating because I like to use additional panel on desk top.

I don't believe this

Same thing happened again to newly created account
I don't know what caused this. I did same thing. Added new side panel,
and changed background image

Clueless now.

I gave up.

What I did was I deleted my account and added myself again.

But it's good to know how to restore the default settings if there is
the way.

Other users' IDs are 1000s. Just regular users. Gdm3 and lighgm used to
show all users prior to this as expected and working just fine without
problem.

Only right after this strange update behavior , the gdm3 (despite my
setting was to use lightgm) only showed one user name.

I still did not understand what happened.

Update under Gnome - I almost passed out!!!

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I just posted question regarding LXDE panel, but

i was just trying to see if it would make differences if I switched to
GNOME desktop and go back to LXDE hoping it might read config file or
whatever correctly but...

I just was looking around under GNOME for while then the pop-up at the
top of the desktop sayinf "important Update" so I clicked and it
says there are 4 important updates for VLC, OS, Audacious and forgot the
other one. SO without thinking I clicked to update. Then it said the
system will reboot automatically and run update. The PC rebooted as it
said, then displayed progressive update process...took while.

When the PC started with GDM3 display manager (I had configured with
lightDM though), it only showed my account name. I had three other
account set up. and it used to show all the other users.
Anyway, I logged in with my account then GNOME started. Funny thing is,
there are no Thunderbird, no other apps I had added. Seemed like it only
had standard apps such as Firefox and others.

i also checked users account to see if other users are there or not, but
no one else was there. i also checked home directory to see if there are
other's home directories. Only mine was there.

At this point I was panicked thinking other settings were deleted.

I rebooted the PC again, now from here my memory is bit hazy as I was
panicking pretty bad but it hanged at start up sequence so I did
ctl+alt+del to restart (it did respond) to reboot. This time it rebooted
normally I started recovery mode. I checked if other account home
directories are there or not, and they are there.
I rebooted again, then the lightDM appears with all other users. Started
normally. I was saved but

What was this behavior? I have never encountered something like this.

Has anyone got same experience as mine?

What was going on? That was pretty bad. I really panicked.

Thanks for reading.


Man Without No Clue

LXDE panel disappeared

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

I have been running Debian Stretch with LXDE for about 1 week.

I turned on the PC this morning and and found out that the main LXDE
panel at bottom (default panel) is gone.

I had added additional panel at the side with few icons and also had
changed the back ground image. I  didn't do anything fancy other than that.

The newly added panel was displayed but was missing some icons, only
showing default desktop PC looking icons. I rebooted to PC to see if it
would make differences. All icons on the newly added panel came back but
the bottom menu panel is still missing.

What went wrong and why?
How can I get the bottom panel?

A.M.W.C.

Well, I don't know journalctl doesn't give me anything...

It once again happened while ago. I was transferring the files from the
back up HDD to main HDDs, I was also running the Firefox though I wasn't
browsing actively. Firefox crashed and then thing went froze.I think
it's something to do with PcManFM though...
 I was able to switch to other console, tty2 and tried to kill the
process but did not help anything. I was also monitoring the system
usage, CPU and memory usage were pretty low.
Maybe I should try using another file manager instead.

Oh no, I still got problem.

I have installed Stretch with non-free enabled and was able to install
then upgraded the kernel. I got some problems first seemed like
something to do with power supply so I got new power supply installed
today but the problem is that the system freezes at some point. I
haven't been able to pin point what is the cause of the problem whether
it's hardware or software...
I will follow up but in the mean timen I wonder if there's anybody who
is encountering problem with Kaby Lake processor with Stretch.

Ok, now I got it working with Stretch finally.
I had to upgrade the Kernel and of course the firmware.
Now the display manager loads as it supposed to.
The only thing is that it seems running rather slow, I have to see what
might be causing slow access to HDDs.
 Anyway, now I have something I can work with.

Stretch and i3-7300T

[A_Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

Has anyone got 7th generation Kaby lake i3-7300T working with Debian?
I tried to install Stretch but unable to get it work.

I just tried Testing and now it is working but this is not what I
exactly want. I need stability.

The motherboard is ASRock H110M-HDV.

Would like toknow if someone is using similar settings.

Thanks.
