Hello, I was wondering what actions and when are needed in order to not "fall" into debian stable with coming bookworm stable, and keep the system on debian testing migrating to debian trixie?

The recorder app on KDE has lost its ability to either record or playback the Opus audio codec. So a switch to use the Vorbis codec is called for.

And I found it necessary to install the Alsa audio mixer to get good levels.

Since Telegram (aka telegram-desktop) installs fine on several distros, I wouldn't put it under any of them, but rather here in the general PP software.

After surpassing the initial hurdle - some sort of musical chairs shell game with my daughter's Telegram on android, where she cloned herself on my phone, then I reinvented myself as someone else, then she disowned the clone... few more steps that I couldn't even memorize, but okay, I have a working Telegram. Can chat, can talk (audio works), even saw a video of my wife from her (Mint) PC, and perhaps I'll be able to use my phone cameras once - tried that a couple of times, once it didn't work, second time had to reboot the phone.

That first run was in november. Since then I got a couple of updates and my desktop icon went missing. Just disappeared altogether. I have to launch a console and type telegram-desktop, and keep the console open, and eventually, when I quit Telegram, dismiss a dialog telling me that it knows that I had quit Telegram.

I've found the org.telegram.desktop.desktop file somewhere (where it should be), and no matter what I tried, it doesn't show on the desktop. I learned more about .desktop files than I ever wanted to, and still no dice. Is there some simple trick to make it show up?

Hello everyone,
I got second hand pinephone (not pro) from ebay. And I installed some distros and I decided use https://github.com/Shubhamvis98/kali-pinephone

I can run OS from sd card but my main OS is still broken (non updatable ubuntu)
Can I install kali or other distro permanently? So I want to replace main OS (ubuntu)

Hi all,

I'm in bookworm mobian and do all latest available updates/upgrades on repo.

I have megapixels with 1.6.0-1+b1 version.

As suggest, i have installed necessary packages "dcraw" and "imagemagick".

In log, flash strobe is not openned.

Hello all,



I've been admiring Pine stuff for a while, and after reading an article saying that the PineTime is one of the best smart watches for privacy, and then seeing the price, consider me interested.



But the extent of my trying these type of alternative devices/software is having F-Droid on my phone and a VM of Linux Mint on my PC, (which I mainly use for RhythmBox's CD ripping ability.)




So my questions are:

• Is the $30 PineTime workable out of the box?  I.E. can I go though some initial setup and get it going like a new android phone, or does it need far more tinkering?
  
• If so, what?  Is there documentation?
  
• What are the default apps for it?
  
• How difficult is it to add more apps?  Is there an "app store" or does it have to be downloaded from GitHub or something?

Hello *,

Do you have any idea to resolve those errors?

I have a Beta Edition PinePhone that I've been using since November of last year. I installed Mobian on the SD card (and also installed Tow-Boot as now required) and outside some minor hiccups have been fairly pleased with the experience. This past Sunday I did a routine software update from within GNOME Software and after resetting following the installation of updates the PinePhone would no longer boot. The LED still turns cyan after I hold the volume-down button to boot from the SD card (as is the case after Tow-Boot is installed) but shortly afterwards turns off and just reboots itself. I'm still able to browse the files on the SD card from a desktop and I'm still able to boot operating systems on other SD cards and from the eMMC meaning the issue is with this particular installation itself.

Frankly I have no idea where to begin in solving this issue. Is there a key I can press on an attached physical keyboard when booting to try and recover the system? Maybe some sort of recovery media I can load somehow? Any insight or recommendations on how to restore this installation would be appreciated.
