Graphical Environments & Desktops • Re: IMAC 2011 / brightness control

news.woodpeckersnest.space / forums-debian-net:0 • 6 April

Hello,

Same machine here too.
I had brighness control (in KDE Plasma) - but at 100 % the screen was still quite dark.

This solved it:
Add following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pcie_aspm=force acpi_backlight=native"
in /etc/default/grub and:
Code:
sudo update-grub

Thanks for reporting.

The which lsb_release command returns the /usr/bin/lsb_release value

Check if your user path has /usr/local/bin as the first entry, usually is.
Place a modified copy there and it will be the first 'which'
If the package is upgraded and the original overwritten, it won't blow out your edit...

Or filter as suggested, so your scripts are not left with a dependency on the mod...

Installation • Re: dpkg --get/--set -selections for new install

news.woodpeckersnest.space / forums-debian-net:0 • 6 April

Hello,

The problem that I'm having is when I direct the text file into dpkg, none of the packages are installed and errors similar to the ones below are reported for all packages:
dpkg: warning: package not in status nor available database at line 9: adb

And the last line of output:
dpkg: warning: found unknown packages; this might mean the available database
is outdated, and needs to be updated through a frontend method;
please see the FAQ <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#set-selections>

I've scanned through the wiki, nothing really jumps out as a cause for the errors, it's the same hardware, arch, same release (Bookworm), etc. I'd expect errors if this was a major change of hardware or possibly on a new release.

Maybe do you need to run:

Code:

sudo apt update

before running:

Code:

sudo dpkg --set-selections < InstalledPkgs.txt

What is the output of the following command ?

Code:

apt-cache policy adb

Installation • Re: Install with two encrypted disks

news.woodpeckersnest.space / forums-debian-net:0 • 6 April • 1 minute

I'm still struggling to get the installation I want, I've tried following the answer (external) here: https://superuser.com/questions/1805494 ... ple-drives , because this lvm solution seems to offer a way of unlocking both drives at once when I start using a yubikey.
However, I get stuck at this point:

Manual partitioning: Step "Logical Volume Manager - LVM"

confirm that you enter this phase

create one volume group named "vg" (stick to this name, anything else could lead to surprises later, because this default name was long time "assumed" by other linux subthings and this even might be (probably is) unneccessary nowadays, I still avoid surprises due to incomplete implementations)

add your two /dev/mapper/XXX_crypt devices as so called "physical volumes". Here the magic happens and you merge the two drives into one single thing, a logical volume group, one new drive "vg". (In case you want to initially install with only a single system drive, just add this one crypt device instead of two. And in the coming step create only a small lv_home logical volume, that will still fit into the vg)

where it refuses to create a volume group with both physical luks drives, or extend by adding one to the other.
My filesystems look like this:

Code:

sda                                                                                                            └─sda1 crypto_LUKS 2                                       229c5ae9-e304-45e6-976d-06ed71c1f084                sdb                                                                                                            ├─sdb1 vfat        FAT32                                   7C60-7364                                           ├─sdb2 ext2        1.0                                     6389c326-8214-40be-b78f-df3dc2b71b76                ├─sdb3 ext2        1.0                                     61eec6de-19a2-4fff-9b04-037f8da69796                └─sdb4 crypto_LUKS 2                                       37655652-11b2-4839-b8f9-64ac98d1f3cb

I've also tried the Calamares installer, but that doesn't seem to offer a way of completing the luks containers before lvming them (I've read things about breaking out, configuring, then returning).

This is just SO difficult and should be easy.

Cheers for any replies.

Yes correct, directly I saw the code and the formatting code did not help to see the "#" character

Thank You Again!

Thanks for the reply

The which lsb_release command returns the /usr/bin/lsb_release value

I found the same pair of lines shared by you but located in the lines 80/81 instead:
Code:
# Generate minimal standard-conform output (if stdout is a TTY).[ -t 1 ] && echo "No LSB modules are available." >& 2

Yes, that's correct. In fact, I suggested commenting out line 81:

Code:

[ -t 1 ] && echo "No LSB modules are available." >& 2

to

Code:

# [ -t 1 ] && echo "No LSB modules are available." >& 2

Line 80 remains unchanged.

What does this have to do with wayland? For me the wayland era is not even on the horizon.

I just browsed some posts from 2006 and it was interesting to see what kind of questions/info people had. And what kind of answers came up. The forum has changed a lot since then. And that's nothing that should be hidden by deletion.
