AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering

So…I have an…interesting behavior I’ve never had before with an Nvidia or integrated intel chipsets…I have now my AMD card plugged both to a normal HDMI monitor, and then to another HDMI TV. Both work well. However, when I turn the TV off… The monitor will start flickering. About three flickers every minute or so....

How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to prepare a live iso with a USB stick including the additional rescuezilla package (or, alternatively, additional packages for a live rescuezilla .iso). Sadly rescuezilla does not support encryption, and so I’d like to be able to create/encrypt an image on one single live iso, not having to do a...

apt-get download $(dpkg -I rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb)

Thanks a lot! While it wasn’t as simple as that, it did indeed point me onto the right direction. This command did the trick for me:

apt download $(dpkg -I rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb | grep -oP ‘(?<=Depends: ).*’ | tr -d ‘,’)

The grep goes there to list only what comes after “Depends:”. The -oP enables the python command to remove the string matching itself, so it leaves the whole list after the match… otherwise it also tries to download a package named “Depends:”. And the tr -d ‘,’ is to remove the commas separating each package, otherwise it fails to find them.

That’s…a lot of dependencies to manually get. This wouldn’t have worked. And I need a reproducible method so I can do this fully offline without having to match apt to anything online.

Thanks! How does this work with OS permissions? As it’s rescuezilla and veracrypt I’m trying to use, both need access to the system partitions in order to be able to mount/read/copy to them. Flatpak can be a bit limited regarding permissions…Moreso on a live iso I guess.

Something something reading the post…

Still not correct. The path is perfectly correct. Even using full path. This method EXPECTS a repo package, not a file. I already figured the answer, it’s in this thread.

The whole mechanism of working of Clonezilla is about the least intuitive I have ever found. So many chances for errors/mistakes, especially if you’re trying to do a network backup. Rescuezilla invokes clonezilla as a backup mechanism, but it saves you all the trouble with a way more intuitive UI. It’s been a revelation to me since I found about it, and refuse to use clonezilla alone.

Again, incorrect. The answer is above. And still, you haven’t read the thread. This is NOT about getting rescuezilla to install in the current PC. This is to get it to install in a DIFFERENT PC, which happens to be OFFLINE. So apt by itself will FAIL when it tries to resolve dependencies.

Where to get raised relief maps?

Ok this one might be silly but…where can I buy a real raised relief map these days? It’s for a gift…Is there a trustworthy seller making them? I mean, with real physical elevations of mountains etc, not just shading to give it a “look-like”. I’m interested maybe in European regions or the whole world, not US-centric....

Thanks! This seems to fit the bill perfectly! I just wish there were more options for sizes, but otherwise, very likely will order from there. Did you use their site before?

Sigh…seems Spain is not on the shipping list…for…reasons? They seem to ship to about any surrounding country, but Spain…

USB cables with LCD displays. Now i can easily understand if a device is properly using QC or PD when charging, or whether there is an issue.
