Can you post a screenshot like I've just taken of my Daedalus install, I have not used in several weeks, this could of possibly replicated your issue. I've noticed every now and then there are local geographic server issues causing signal strength fluctuations to cause this temporary failure. When users in parts of the globe their system is updates as expected. Try this link to detect https://downdetector.com/ if Devuan in your country. The UK is functioning correctly.

Hi alnyr, I have seen this occur with an Intel NUC 4th gen unit, when using wireless mouse and keyboard, and the dongle would give an intermittent signal, it occurred with different distros including Ubuntu, Linuxmint and Fedora. Not distro specific. Most recently, this precise issue surprised me when recommissioning a pre-loved Dell 3050 MT unit, it turned out to be the Xfce compositor. I disabled it and set up Compton and the freezing of mouse and keyboard, has disappeared giving me two weeks of...

Hi guys, as stated, every once in a while, both the mouse and keyboard freeze with apparent power loss to both. Unplugging and replugging of either has no affect.

There were two distinct themed versions of Peppermint Bullseye, the first being the PCNetSpec Edition, a tribute to the late Mark Greaves, leadership and who maintained Peppermint since version 5 through to version 10. This was launched in February 2022. With a red wallpaper with Mark's business name PCNetSpec being used. His family approved this as our tribute to honour a true gentleman. The second version a few months later saw our new and evolving style blossom, this being the woodland path wallpaper...

Due to the age of your MOBO, you are limited by two factors your USB ports are USB2 and the PCI-e device is standard 2. Most modern equipment utilises standard 3 and 4 for the PCI-e device and USB ports cater for USB3 and USB-C flash drives. My research found this standard 2 wireless device made by tp-link PCI-e wifi adapter, offering good value with a 2.4G signal and speed up to 300Mb/s. Being an improvement on your current set up.

Hi Old Ton, Historically you have suffered internet issues, our Mini iso (the Debian and Devuan Netinstaller) requires an Ethernet cable connection to obtain the optimum benefits. Plus do not mix desktop environments in the same install, it pollutes and corrupts the system.

Today, I had time to thoroughly check our Daedalus and Bookworm iso, then write each iso to a separate USB3 stick (DataTraveller G4).

To find your computer specific values such as, how many cores or threads your AMD CPU has run this command in a terminal inxi -F . The enclosed screenshot is the terminal printout of my Dell USFF desktop specs, the CPU it is dual core with 4 threads. I suspect your CPU will be dual core with 4 threads.
-
YES! 16GB of RAM memory is more than ample, with the SSD will compensate for the shortcomings of the AMD A8 CPU. Along with the suggestion of putting in an extra hard drive and setting up DATA partitions for more storage, you will have a serviceable computer the next few years. If you are flush, an AMD graphic card would enhance your graphic pixels to be able to watch videos with clarity. Gaming I would suspect be pushing the boundaries and a bridge too far.
-
Having owned an AMD A8 powered unit circa 2015 with 8GB of RAM. The short answer will be "YES". It ran Debian Gnome, a resource hog. Giving a slow but reliable journey. The 16GB of RAM and the SSD being your salvation. An huge improvement upon my set up. If you have space fit an old Hard Drive for storage and set up DATA Partitions: https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepwiki/Data%20Partitions/ you will have a serviceable computer for a few more years. Enjoy!

We can not find any logical reason for the YT-DLP error, nor replicate what you have described, I have personally made several installs, using a new iso for each occasion. The maintainer of the Mini, has carried out extensive checks, and gone through their install files with a tooth-comb, before multiple tests to 32 and 64bit machinery. Returning clean installs, with no error messages . I've included the Tasksel file that determines what goes into the DI. (debian installer). Or our Mini iso.
-
The optimum and final solution. If you still desire to have a dual booting pepified Devuan and Debian desktops. Download the Xfce iso for both and burn to your usual DVD method. Now install both OFFLINE. That means NO internet connection. Our Calamares installer we have designed to achieve this with minimal fuss. Once you have rebooted into your first install, click on the Internet icon of your panel, bottom right and choose your wifi supplier address and enter your password when prompted. Now open...

Would I be correct, that you after a light-weight desktop which will suit the modest resources of your ASUS rig: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-cuv4x-d Burn an iso to USB from the Live media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3irLQyCLKQk The optimum and best install method would be achieved by having the machine connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable. Not wireless. Choose the guided partition method without any desktop, by leaving all the tick-boxes unchecked at the software selection...

The tool yt-dlp is definitely not part of the install, nor is it included in the Tasksel list that determines each desktop's build, even for the non-graphical install. Though we are checking the installer's settings to eliminate if it is being included via a dependency for unknown reasons. Your set up: 32bit install and it's both devuan and debian . Was this obtained by installing both via our Pep-Mini-iso? This narrows our search to 32bit. So far unable to replicate your error message with either...

Hi Dave, The app yt-dlp is not a default tool nor is it included in the final install of our Pep Mini. Can you please inform us which iso you used, 32bit or 64bit? Devuan or Debian?

The optimum partition scheme being sda1 boot/efi sda2 swap sda3 / of your chosen OS. For security purposes, this should be the only OS for FDE (full disk encryption).

Hi Niladri, Unfortunately the "Encryption" module of the Calamares installer has failed. It is under review, as or when we are in a position to declare it functional is unknown.

Hi Simone, You are correct with your assumption that something breaks during the upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm. It breaks the link to the Pep-Hub and Welcome and they no longer launch.

Hi KaramelWay, The short answer is no. Depending on how good (the strength of) your computers Ethernet connection, you could use the Mini, (our Netinstal iso) and perform a bare-bones non desktop install and construct a striped down environment to suit its and your actual needs. Or experiment with the various Window Managers. But beware, my 2007 Lenovo N200 Notebook, Ethernet connections was 100Mb/s and 2GB of RAM, took over 24hrs to install using the Debian Netinstaller circa 2012. Only to fail...

I understand, if you want to close the lid on a laptop with it still operating, it goes into hibernation mode. Do you have a swap partition that matches your RAM 1 to 1?

Not too sure what you are referring to. Do you mean while installing you have opened a terminal and typed free -m to review memory usage? Since the Bookworm release, free has has been changed the way it measures the system memory. It is an upstream amendment.

Please review the screenshot of the htop terminal monitor and the Gnome system monitor, both give a dynamic reading with fluctuations of the system...

The short answer is no. But Synaptic Package Manager comes as standard in Debian and Devuan systems, offering a comprehensive selection of software. Should you wish to pollute your system by installing Snaps or Flat packages, the Gnome Software Centre will be installed, being a GUI software option. Mint's software Centre is aimed at Ubuntu centric systems, not Debian or Devuan.

Hi danimal1968, I have never seen this error message that has caused your failed installation. My oldest machine is a Dell Latitude 5430 with i5 CPU and 16GB of RAM, circa 2013 vintage. I perform a manual install with two partitions being /boot/efi and / (root) for a full GPT, UEFI and Secure boot install. I use to test all iso we produce prior their release. Due to the lack of much needed details of how you prepped your machine and its capability, that I noted from a net search it could be a first...

Hi Ralph, Strawberry I find to be better than Clementine for colour matching the dark theme along with the tab-bar and the individual song being highlighted whilst playing. See screenshots. I'm fond of the Marwaita Manjaro Green theme. I have matched our Marwaita Peppermint Dark Red previously, you need to install Kvantum and its themes, then choose the Kvantum Dark theme plugin from the drop-down menu found in the Tools - Appearance section. A large dose of patience when utilising the colour tool...

Not familiar with Xerox printers, daft question, you do have the USB cable attached to printer and your target computer? Can you see the printer icon in the System tray of the panel, bottom right if you have not moved the panel from its default position. If you can, what message does the queue manager indicate, i.e job in progress, such as the Test page printout? If not go to Menu -> Settings -> Print Settings and check your Document Status (queue manager), if it is, click try again. See screens...

Hope this answers your question: https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepos/announcements/thread/f0b720113c/#2f10/4019 you will be good till 2028 with the Bookworm base. Plus beware any future release depends on the development of the LXDE desktop and other repo factors such as X display and its dependencies needed by up stream maintainer to produce a fully functional desktop. Being uncertain and outside of our control.

Hi John, I will have to give your issue some thought, I don't game nor use Nvidia, due to past battles when Linux and Nvidia did not play nicely with each other. Your CPU and GPU has the stonk to cope with the demands of gaming. Due to storm damage to my property, I've been rather busy for the last few days, also have very limited experience with Value (Steam), if that what they call themselves these days, as the games on offer did not float my boat. I'll do research when I can and get back to y...

Hi All, Currently running Peppermint Devaun Daedalus. I'm having an unusual issue. I recently purchased the game Victoria 3 for steam. The game is native to Linux and should run normally but it crashes after starting from the Paradox Launcher. After discussing this with Paradox support, they pointed out something in the error logs. It is odd that the system.log sees the video as llvmpipe/MESA, whereas you have an nVidia 2070 card in fact (which doesn't use or need MESA), and that's what I normally...

The reason a laptop or a desktop will boot to a black screen after fitting a new memory module, is either its a dud, the stick is incompatible with your system, or the unused memory slot no longer functions. Test 1, swap your known and current working RAM module by placing it into the 2nd slot. If it works and you can boot up into a functional system, proves the 2nd slot works. Test 2, to see if the new RAM module is a dud or compatible, try and boot your laptop from both slots separately, proves...

I've viewed your video footage, yep! Your iso must have been corrupted during the download and a fresh install will be required using a fresh iso download from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/peppermintos/files/isos/Mini/ see screenshot for specific version.

Hi Namarie, This warning that occurred. Which iso were you using, the Mini or the default Xfce iso. If you are using the Mini, it best practise to only choice one desktop environment, to avoid cross polluting both desktops. I noted from from your other post, that you installed Cinnamon and Xfce. Also ignore the firmware missing warning, it is now a legacy hangover. The Mini iso is Debian's Network install (we customised to our requirements) will state that most wifi firmware are missing, as per their...

Like the windies installer, it take a few installs to get used to their foibles, as with our installer. I have produced numerous videos to aid peps.

Hi Asif, I do note from your inxi printout you were not connected to the internet for wifi nor hardwared. With old equipment, and our auto installer option doesn't seem to want to play.

Hi Steve, I do not have fond memories of either of Lenovo Thinkpad T420, I owned, both laptops, bought 2nd hand from ebay functioned with their M$ install in Legacy. Both were 2nd gen Intel spec with i5 CPU, RAM maxed out. Both were a mare to install any Debian based OS. Fedora and M$ being the only systems that would install. Nor install any OS in UEFI. Go figure. As you have found with your machine's UEFI quirk, this was Lenovo's first production batch of UEFI equipped machinery and they were flaky,...

More research! To obtain your proposed panel flag, you will need to install xfce4-xkb-plugin it is in the Bookworm repos and this guy shows how to go about it, it is a 2017 article: https://winaero.com/custom-flags-xfce4-keyboard-layout/ you will need to obtain or generate a Greek flag icon in a .svg format, ditto with your English preference.
