I use my Yubikeys all the time in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Linux Mint - a Yubikey 5 NFC and a Yubikey 5C NFC (mostly with Firefox). I have never had any problems with them. Mint is Ubuntu-based so they ought to work in Ubuntu. Sorry I can’t advise you on why yours isn’t working, but it should definitely be possible to get it working.
Tumbleweed user here. Thinking of buying a yubikey; is it easy to setup for logins etc or does it involve terminal commands etc. I mean is there a repository app?
There’s an appimage for their manager app there. You might also try using Distrobox to give yourself access to a distro that uses apt, and then add Yubico’s PPA and install the software from there. I don’t know whether it would work but in principle it should.
So many content? You mean so many levels? While searching for the current download link for Debian 12, I really just couldn’t find the right one I think, so I just went for one which had amd64 and gnome in the title. It was for a CDROM, but I flashed that onto some USB.
Just pick one and roll with it. Eventually as you use it you might want to switch so do that if you wanna. Distro just comes down to preference so find one you like. At the end of the day they’re all Linux
First of all: Did you do apt dist-upgrade as well? If I remember correctly that is a new required step when upgrading to a new Debian release.
If that doesn’t help, you could check if your nvidia-detect package version is the expected version, that comes with Debian 12.
If neither of these steps help you could disregard nvidia-detect and try the steps listed in the following link. It seems the firmware was moved to a separate repository compared to Debian 11. You might need to add that by hand. wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#bookworm-52…
Thank you very much for your answer. I was not aware of the dist-upgrade being required now, so I did that, but unfortunately it did not change anything after a reboot. I reinstalled nvidia-detect to see if that caused any issues, but that did not seem to be the case. Your last step I actually already did some time ago, and I tried to do the same no. Unfortunately that also did not seem to have fixed the problem. The nvidia graphics settings software is still installed, but it only shows some very limited control options compared to how it used to be. This is what that program looks like now:
I had a 1650 until recently. I thought Wayland was just buggy as hell but as soon as I put in an AMD card it was smooth as butter. I know it’s not always an option but in my area cards sell locally for $80 specifically the Rx 5500 and RX 580
Yeah. Actually wanted to put an -nvidia hate- comment at the bottom, buzt thought it’d be too much. I do actually have some money lying around, so if I switch, it’ll be an amd. I currently have the classic: GTX 1060 in my machine, how did you feel your performance change, if at all?
I think yes. In general if you have good setup instructions (preferably automated) then it will be easier to start from scratch. This is because when starting from scratch you need to worry about the new setup. But when upgrading you need to worry about the new setup as well as any cruft that has been carried over from the previous setup. Basically starting clean has some advantages.
However it is important to make sure that you can go back to the old working state if required. Either via backups or leaving the old machine around working until the new one has been proven to be operational.
I also really like NixOS for this reason. It means that you can upgrade your system with very little cruft carrying over. Basically it behaves like a clean install every update. But it is easier to roll back if you need to.
It says at the bottom you’re using a version built in Nov 2021, you might just need to update to the latest release (latest Arch release is 4.23-1, built 10-29-2023).
If the version in your repos is that out of date though (you didn’t state your distro so there’s no telling offhand), your best bet may to be to build it from source and install it.
If you’ve designed everything correctly, then yes, it should be much easier to deploy a new instance on a new machine than to upgrade an existing machine.
It depends on what you need to upgrade/do. I usually upgrade stuff, but at the same time I also have templates in case I quickly need to spin up something new.
If that’s the case, I seed the new instance whatever conf files are needed and I am up and running quickly. Consider that in my work environment we rarely use containers (more of a philosophy at this point than a real reason, since we also have a relatively big K8s cluster for big data).
Not only that, but they aren’t standardised, and Gnome really likes adhering to standards and staying away from anything they consider unstandardised or janky.
System trays really are a complete clusterfuck.
Sometimes the icons have colour, sometimes they don’t, sometimes they’re minimalist icons, sometimes they’re not. Sometimes you left click on them to do something, sometimes you need to right click, sometimes it’s both, sometimes they have their own menu UI, sometimes they integrate with the system’s, sometimes you can exit an app via them, sometimes you can’t, sometimes they give you notifications, sometimes they just do it through your standard OS notification system, etc.
They are an inconsistent mess. And we all know how anal Gnome can be about UX consistency.
Gnome in the past has expressed a desire for a standardised, cross-desktop system tray that fixes these issues, but tbh I’m sceptical it’d catch on. Not because other desktops wouldn’t get on board, but rather because app developers will just go “meh, we’ll just stick to what we have” and it won’t gain traction.
I have only tried it with wired but it uses ipxe and that is supposed to work with Android USB tethering too to bridge to other kinds of network access.
I have the Debian netinst disk, but it doesn’t include the dm-cache modules, so I downloaded the live DVD last night. I only get about an hour a day to work on stuff.
There are distros that make it easy for non-techies to install and manage Linux, and if you have any computer aptitude at all, it should be pretty easy. The devil is in the details; if all your hardware is well supported, there’s no reason why you should ever have to open a shell. Trouble usually happens with peripherals like printers and some extremely protective vendor chips like Broadcom. In those cases, it’s usually still possible to make things work, but it can require researching, finding, reading how-tos, downloading, compiling and installing software.
I think 99% of trouble I’ve ever had in the past 20 years has been with printers+scanners or Broadcom chips - they’re very common. I read about people having issues with graphics cards, but that seems to be mainly Nvidia; I’ve only ever had Intel or Radeon, and haven’t had trouble with graphics cards in the past decade or so, myself.
Anyway, my advice is to do some distro hopping before you settle on one. Boot from a USB stick for a while; it’ll be a bit slower, but it’ll make playing with different desktop environments and distributions easier, before you commit.
I don’t use gnome; can someone who does plz tell me what style that is? The color scheme is Everforest, but what’s the rest of the style called? It’d look good on rofi & polybar.
Edit: I guess the theme is also Everforest Dark? I think it’s this one.
Edit 2: Someone has already done most of the work for polybar, rofi, and some other tiling WM tools; dotfiles here. I haven’t tested it myself yet, but it looks pretty good.
