Weird conflict/dependency/maybe-bug hell with Debian Bookworm and RTL8188FTV (0bda:f179)

Posted 06-27-2023 at 10:14 AM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 06-30-2023 at 10:30 AM by the dsc (news)

There's some weird situation, for me at least, where apparently I can't install the headers of linux 6, due to failure in dkms building the module for this USB wireless adapter. Which in turn depends on the headers themselves being installed, if I'm not misunderstanding, which may well be the case.

Additionally, there were some reported bugs in some stuff, G++ and/or GCC, while updating from frankendebian-pre-Bookworm to what may be a more proper bookworm release. Although I think...

Nala is a front-end for libapt-pkg. Specifically we interface using the python-apt api.
Especially for newer users it can be hard to understand what apt is trying to do when installing or upgrading.
We aim to solve this by not showing some redundant messages, formatting the packages better, and using color to
show specifically what will happen

Newer Firefox on Debian/RPIOS/Ubuntu

OK take a deep breath, now let it out.
Note: Raspberry Pi OS now has the current release version in the Bookworm repos.


There are several ways to get a newer version of Firefox.

First, there is Ubuntuzilla, which works for i386/amd64 but not arm32/arm64. Since I am on RPIOS I am just posting the link to it.

Restoring the ability to mount local drives as a normal user, without password, in Debian 11

Posted 09-09-2021 at 01:20 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

I don't recall having tweaked any setting to have "udiskctl mount" working without password in the same exact situation, but whatever happened, after the upgrade from Debian 10 to 11, it no longer worked.

While there are quite a few examples of how to set up the correct "polkit" rule for it around, most of them refer to a newer version of polkit that uses a different syntax. Debian's pkaction version is still 1.105. And apparently the file needs to be in the correct...
