I have the same keyboard back light setting in my Dell Precision 7520 laptop Bios. I just set it to 30 seconds and forget about it.

LOL That's to funny, but I see some truth to it.

I did Cinnamon on one of my test installs and had loads of fun with it. But it had to go... Because it was a test install and I needed the laptop for the next one.

Especially if you have a ton of Steam and Lutris games installed. Rebuilding all that from scratch is a real pain and a couple days work.

How much ram did you give your VM for Peppermint OS?

Did you check the iso's checksum/hash to make sure it is not corrupted? Is you USB stick/drive in good working condition? Maybe try a different one.

To be clear, you want to completely remove Peppermint 10 and install the new Debian version in it's place. If this is true backup all your data you want to save. There is no recovering Peppermint 10 after doing this. Startup a live session from the USB iso. Go in the menu and find the app "Disk". Select the hard drive in the laptop on the left side. Use the red X to delete all the partitions on the laptops disk. WARNING, this remove all data and distros form the laptop. Now the installer will see...

I can see it possible if you are using VGA graphics and the computer has no sound card, or internal sound is switched off. It should have detected an HDMI controller. Perhaps using VGA disabled the HDMI Controller so it didn't get detected. So great, you got it working. Good work!

I normally don't recommend down grading a kernel. The PeppermintOS kernel with latest updates is 5.10.0-13. I has many security patches including the Dirty Pipe vulnerability. Downgrading may also introduce firmware compatibility issues.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Some time we run into BIOS or hardware issue and we're not sure what the correct coarse of action is without making thing worse.

Try this, left click on the speaker down on the panel next to the clock. From there left click on "Audio Mixer". A dialog box should pop up "Volume Control". Go over to the "Configuration" tab all the way to the right side. Check and see that there is a "High Definition Controller" drop down menu with "Profile" next to it. If you have this, select the HDMI setting that is Plugged in.

Debian(64) is the correct choice. If you have boot issues. try Display > Screen > Graphics Controller (Drop Box) select "VBoxSVGA" and no 3D Acceleration. USB select USB 3.0. If you use a USB drive, you can pass it through the VBox Devices tab > USB

It looks awesome. Fits Peppermints theme well. I can't wait to tinker with it! I do like gadgets that do stuff, especially software ones!

In the terminal enter: sudo cp /opt/pepconf/os-release /etc/os-release. This should restore the Peppermint ID in the system.

The new PeppermintOS is still Peppermint. You received some updates that change a config file. Do not use this on Peppermint 10 or earlier release. In the terminal enter: sudo cp /opt/pepconf/os-release /etc/os-release. This should restore the Peppermint ID in the system.
-
We are aware of this issue. The teem is looking into a fix so these kind of things report back as Peppermint. Thanks for letting us know you see it too.

I concur, it look really good. Ran it on a old iso in my VM stash and it picked up some updates.

Some DRM education: https://ottverse.com/ensure-video-drm-compatibility-browsers-platforms/ Browsers with Widevine DRM support: https://www.smartlabs.tv/en/faq/question/which-web-browsers-support-widevine-drm Yes, Chrome works with Netfix on PeppermintOS. Click on Download Chrome, Select "64 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)" in the dialog box and click on Accept. You should get a .deb package. Install it with GDebi Package Installer by clicking on it. I installed Chrome on one of my testing laptops and...

Chromium would not work for most streaming services like Netflix because it's most open source. It does not have DRM support, but Chrome should. Firefox only has it because of special deals made with, I think its Google. The fork of Firefox, Librewolf does not come with DRM either. Beware many browsers may not come with DRM support.
-
I can tell you that Netflix is working fine where I'm at in the US. The only other thing I can tell you with web browsers is check that Play DRM-controlled content is enabled.

I looked into some possible hardware issues here. Current PeppermintOS does come with firmware-realtek_20210315-3_all installed. This package does include the all the firmware for Card-2: Realtek RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN This should be enabled and working if you are using it. Card-1: NVIDIA MCP79 Ethernet is part of your AMD-NVIDIA chip set. I would connect the Ethernet port to the internet and run a speed test.

Hello cheron89, have you checked that the headphones work on another device. If so, use arrow keys to move under the other Headphones. The text with turn red, select each Headphone one at a time and increase the volume with the up key. Check and hear if sound comes out of your headphones with each one. You can leave the Headphone at 100 alone for now.

I found my PeppermintOS friends new home. Awesome!
