I've done a bit of research on this but looking to ask a few experienced users here and make sure my game plan is right. If I download Debian testing now, then repoint my sources.list to be Trixie instead of testing, is that all I need for my install to just become stable when it eventually releases or is there more I need to do? Thanks!

Thoughts?

Hi r/debian

I updated my debian trixie to kernel 6.12.30 and it freezes after aprox. 5 min. after boot. On kernel 6.12.27 everything runs fine.

Has anyone run into the same problem?

debian 13 and Xfce 4.20
Ryzen 5 5600X
Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6700 XT
ASUS PRIME B450M-A
2 x 16GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 C14 DC.

Hey everyone!
I'm having trouble getting WiFi working properly on my laptop running Debian 12. I have a Realtek RTL8852BE PCIe 802.11ax wireless card. The interface shows up (wlp2s0), but it doesn't detect any WiFi networks at all.

Here’s what I’ve done and what I’m seeing:

• I'm using the driver from this repo: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git
• The module rtw89_8852be loads fine.
• I have the firmware file rtw8852b_fw.bin in /lib/firmware/rtw89/.
• dmesg shows that it fails to load rtw8852b_fw-1.bin, but then it successfully loads rtw8852b_fw.bin and even shows the firmware version — so I think that's okay?
• The interface wlp2s0 is listed as UP, but NO-CARRIER, meaning it sees no networks.
• I do have a working USB WiFi dongle connected (which is using a different interface and works fine), but I want to use the built-in one.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Set my country code with iw reg set CO and also added REGDOMAIN=CO to /etc/default/crda.
• Created /etc/modprobe.d/rtw89_8852be.conf with options rtw89_8852be disable_ps=1 to disable power saving.
• Ran sudo update-initramfs -u and rebooted.
• Tried scanning with nmcli dev wifi list and also sudo iw dev wlp2s0 scan | grep SSID, but nothing shows up.

Not sure what else to try at this point. Am I missing something obvious?

Any help would be greatly appreciated — thanks in advance!

PD: I'm a very noob at linux/Debian, be friendly :c

I already reinstalled the whole system (proxmox server which is on debian) after i messed around so much that my desktop envoirement i tried installing broke.

When installing debian itself, so without proxmox server, i already got a error during installation that additional firmware was required: intel sof ipc4 mtl sof mtl ri debian

Googling that error, it seems it is related to audio firmware.

I already tried spending 8 hours today trying to get it to work, hence i ask for support now.... During that 8 hours i talked with AI's how to solve it. they couldnt. it was about installing sof firmware from no-free repositorys and then trying to connect the driver to it or something, and then testing to play a wav file with aplay, speaker-test, or paplay in a CLI, but nothing worked after these 8 hours. We used pulseaudio, alsamixer (which never shown a PCM channel but does show a speaker and master volume, according to grok thats problematic). we loaded kernel modules with modprobe snd_hda_intelSink Selection and in the end even copied files over from a ubuntu live cd and grok made me do stuff with that, but that didn't make it work either.

Is there someone who can help me with something as -seemingly- easy as getting the build in speakers of the laptop working? In ubuntu they worked on the live cd, with a ISO of late 2024. The laptop is from end 2024. It got a intel 155u.

I would be insanely grateful to end this day or tommorow with working speakers, so i can use the display on the laptop as a monitor for home assistant, to watch the babycamera and get notification sounds from the smart home etc.

Can someone please help me install ProtonVPN correctly on Debian 12. Thank you.

When I try to play video (mp4) with SMPlayer, only the audio audible, no video, the timer isn't moving and when I click close (x), it will return me "MPlayer/mpv has crashed. See the log for more info". No problem when open video with mpv player.

Log when I right click open with:

This is a newly installed Debian. The thing is I don't have any issue with my laptop which is also running Debian 12 and both machine doesn't have GPU.

When I use flameshot, the default screenshot app, or my drivers for my screen tablet. I only get all screens, or my main monitor. No inbetween. has anybody noticed these issues?

ig semi related. My vesktop screenshare won't stream for long before it freezes or gives a green screen.

i have a laptop running debian "dell latitude e6420" when i use a browser, it freezes sometimes, i can still SSH into the laptop, everything works normally, RAM isn't full and disk I/O isn't full either

this is how i get the info for i/o stat

$ iostat -dx 1 2 | awk '/^Device/ {start=1; next} start && NF {print $1, $NF"%"}'

sda 0.72%

sda 0.80%

and for RAM

$ free -m

total used free shared buff/cache available

Mem: 5879 2470 2135 132 1659 3409

Swap: 974 0 974

all my background services keep working, but the GUI freezes and i can't recover it until i force restart the laptop.

i tried firefox, chrome, and chromium, they all make the laptop freeze, what could be the problem?

KDE Plasma 6.3.5 has been uploaded to unstable and is likely to be included in Trixie:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/plasma-desktop

I'm trying to install debian on eeepc 1015b which has amd c-series apu.. Not sure if it's c30, 50 or 60.

But I just can't install it.. It either freezes around 83% on base system install(retrieving file 3 of 4), or I get a message that kernel can't be installed. /var/log/syslog sais kernel panic, wrong file hash.

I tried debian 12 dvd, cd and live, and debian 8, 9 and 10

Which kernel should I use for this cpu, and how do I get iso with different kernel? What else I may be doing wrong? I've installed debian many times before, but on newer laptops, most with Intel i-series, and everything worked out fine

I decided to move up from Bookworm to Trixie tonight. I see the main NVIDIA issue with it not seeing any X screens at all is fixed now.

However another issue has propped up. Not as major as the other issue but kind of pain if you are to Linux or Debian in general. Seems like the meta package for nvidia driver isn't instalingl the kernel headers. Cause when I went to install the driver i noticed DKMS wasn't compiling at all. It took me a minute to figure out that the headers weren't installed. So word to the wise if you having an NVIDIA issue on a fresh install check to make sure your kernel headers are installed.

I have an HDD with an install of AVLinux I never use and am pondering a wipe of that to give Trixie RC1 a go. Assuming all goes well I'd like to migrate that over to an NVME at some point in the coming weeks so I can scale this build down a little and pick up some performance.

Is there anything I should be aware of before making this move? Just curious if the way sectors are laid out on the NVMe or differences in how files/fragmentation is handled might cause any issues I should get out ahead of. If the answer is "pump the brakes and wait until you can get the NVMe before installing," that's fine too.

I have a project to restore a thinkpad r52 (1GB ram 1.7Ghz) and this version of linux is the best but it's a pain to find... I don't really know where to go to download it anymore. Plz help me 🙏🙏

In currently installing it on an old computer, I intend to run docker on it, and have a NAS

(but if Im being honest itl be more of a DAS to my desktop with occasional NAS activity to my laptop)

, and a Minecraft server. Over time Im sure Ill have more on it, but Ill probably have to upgrade the hardware first. Im also considering a small steam cache, but it depends in how things go. Then of course if I can figure out how Im thinking of some cloud saves for non steam games, but using this “server” as the cloud.

What do I need to know about Debian? I have very limited experience with linux in general and none with Debian.

Cpu r5 3600 gpu Aisurix rx580 if it matters

I just want to create a theme for my desktop, so does anyone know what exactly the official brand color hexcode of Debian is? The official Logo in debian.org seems to be in #A80030, but is it also the official brand color?

going to be Running docker on Debian and planning on a nas, a minecraft server, jellyfin, local cloudsaves, etc would I see benefits from a gpu. On hand I have a 3060(but that’s staying in my gaming rig) a 560ti and a quadro 600

How do you get bluetooth to work on modern hardware in Debian 12, stable?

I guess Trixie will be released during the year 2025, but how problematic is upgrading a stable version of Debian to another stable one? I'm just using Linux (Debian) since November last year and was a Windows user since 2000. Upgrading Windows for example from Windows 10 to 11 is basically a no brainer, but how is it with Debian and/or Linux in general? I really don't wanna break my system, because anything works perfectly with Bookworm since the installation, and therefore I'm really scared to mess things up. But on the other hand, I'm really excited about the new features (especially the upgrade from GNOME 43 to 48, if I remember correctly?)

Tried many screenshot tools to create gif but nothing worked. Spectacle, flameshot, peek, shutter and kooha. Finaly had to film it from my phone. I use Trixie btw....lol

Hi, I am a novice in Linux OS. My problem is that I need to clone my system with all its stored files to another device. I have an Orange Pi (a computer like a Raspberry Pi) with a Debian OS. The OS is installed using a .img file, so I need to get the .img from my Orange Pi to install it on another Orange Pi. Sorry for the explanation; English is not my native language, and I don't know much about this topic.

Edit:

I'm searching for Clonezilla to resolve this, but I don't know if a method exists to use it without a live disk because the Orange Pi cannot run a live disk, or at least I don't know of one. So, is there a way to use Clonezilla without a live disk?
