Debian Stable's Hidden Power: The Backports Blessing
https://video.fosshq.org/videos/watch/deae9681-0d91-4784-bbe6-9dfec82d87ab
#Debian update day for me, following the release of 12.10 yesterday.
I updated the main desktop, plus my #raspberryPi and a #minipc, which I use for some #docker containers.
They were all entirely harmless and easily completed in a few minutes each. A clean reboot sets me up for updates until 12.11 is released.
I do regularly check for updates, but largely only do things like browsers for the most part, leaving other updates until the next point release from #debian
I do of course check for any nasty security updates and will apply them on a case-by-case basis.
For me, the beauty of #debian #stable is that it is so stable. Yes, I do leverage #backports for a few packages (mostly LibreOffice) but otherwise it is left alone.
My main desktop stays on 24/7 so it can often be the case that the uptime is the entire time between a point release and the next. 3 months or so uptime on a desktop needs a stable base, and #debian gives me that.
@rl_dane If you want to stick with a Debian-packaged version, libreoffice is one of the apps available in #backports

Debian Stable's Hidden Power: The Backports Blessing
https://tux-edu.tv/videos/watch/8b6707ef-4a7e-4d4e-b5be-59efbfbca655
Hello people,
By now most of you should be aware that YouTube is shaking all non profitable users, third party apps or services are failing frequently.
On a last attempt to provide a working version, yt-dlp on the #Trisquel #backports repo is now tracking the unstable channel.
At some point it may break too.
Anyway, have fun testing it.
After some hours of debugging, I conclude it isn't caused by a bug in Dirt (though there might still be some bugs there).
Rather, this one seems to be a #bug in #Pipewire 's implementation of #JACK protocol (#Debian #Bookworm 0.3.65-3+deb12u1). Upgrading to 1.2.7-1~bpo12+1 from Bookworm #BackPorts seems to have fixed it.
In more detail, `jack_time_to_frames(client, time)` was occasionally returning bogus values in the far future, which made Dirt's pending sound queue fill up (because the sounds would never get played).
some output from printf, middle line shows bug:
```
startT = 214465908, when = 59192907023, when2 = 59192907032, sound->when = 1737176330.247233, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
startT = 2361950208, when = 59192907023, when2 = 103932163072, sound->when = 1737176330.247233, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
startT = 214470490, when = 59193002284, when2 = 59193002280, sound->when = 1737176330.342493, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
```
code:
```
jack_time_t when = (sound->when - epochOffset) * 1000000;
jack_nframes_t startT = jack_time_to_frames(jack_client, when);
jack_time_t when2 = jack_frames_to_time(jack_client, startT);
printf("startT = %u,\twhen = %lu,\twhen2 = %lu, sound->when = %f,\tepochOffset = %f\n", startT, when, when2, sound->when, epochOffset);
sound->startT = startT;
```
Any web developers here who can make fasttrack.debian.net web page responsive ? #askfedi #debian #freesoftware
Debian Fast Track is a repository that allows making “backports” of packages available to users of the stable distribution, if those packages cannot be maintained in testing and backported in the usual way.
This service was started originally to provide #gitlab packages and now include other software like #VirtualBox. Hosting sponsored by #Infomaniak
The "freedombox" package version 24.24 is now available in Debian bookworm-backports.

Flatpak Update Fails After Upgrading Curl To 8.10 In Debian 12 | How To Fix It #Curl #Backports #Debian #Linux #Troubleshooting

#Debian Bookworm users can now get TLP 1.7.0 from the #backports
Using #pipewire for screen sharing alongside #pulseaudio for audio hasn't been a great experience and complicated stuff a lot. I had it working by disabling all audio in pipewire, but I switched back to a complete pipewire setup.
I enabled #Debian #backports and installed the newer packages from there. I hope this'll improve the situation in one of two ways:
- solve the issue with open memfd or at least let it take longer to occure
- give me a version of pipewire and #wireplumber that is not that much outdated that even the official online documentation doesn't cover it anymore
hahahaha
gerade auf #debian festgestellt dass ich ein paket in einer deutlich neueren Version brauch als aus #apt rausfällt
"oh, muss ich kurz die #backports bemühen!"
…und dann stellt man fest dass das der Spielerechner ist, auf dem NATÜRLICH sid/unstable läuft!
@normplum
#LMDE 6 kernels come from #Debian #Stable which is presently #bookworm 12.6
If you want or need a newer kernel, you can use the #Debian #Backports to get this.
Backports are enabled in #LMDE so you just need to target this within your `apt` command such as with `sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64` or similar. This will correctly pull in from backports the other elements.
The advantage of using backports is that they're correctly processed for future upgrades etc.
How To Enable Backports And Testing Repositories In Debian Linux #Debian #Backports #Testing #Linux
https://ostechnix.com/enable-backports-and-testing-repositories-in-debian-linux/
Linux-Distributionen verwenden üblicherweise nicht den aktuellen "offiziellen" Kernel, sondern suchen einmal eine Version aus und pflegen diese dann mehr oder weniger in Eigenregie weiter. Das soll eigentlich für weniger (vor allem sicherheitsrelevante) Fehler sorgen, tut aber wohl eher das Gegenteil:

The trouble with building bleeding edge stuff is eventually #backports fails you. I wonder if #trixie is stable enough to update my daily driver yet?
