It addresses a problem where a swap partition becomes too full to hold the compressed hibernation image. ### Source excerpt I recently reinstalled my main desktop from scratch: Debian testing via Kali underneath (read first before judging) and XFCE on top. One of the reasons I keep coming back to XFCE is its built-in power management.

It describes how to switch to the staging repository and distinguish packages from Mobian and Debian. ### Source excerpt Most of us just want their phone to be working. But some like to be more on the edge of things, trying out the newest bugsfeatures. The recently announced staging distribution allows users to do just that. Read further to learn its purpose and how to enable it. Mobian is an overlay over the regular Debian bullseye repository. Its package source is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list with a single line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main. 1 Currently the (relatively) stable Mobian overlay is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list containing the following: deb http://repo.mobian.org/ bullseye main non-free If you had flashed your device with an image older than April 26th, 2021, you may have a file named /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources instead, containing the following: Types: deb Architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf Uris: http://repo.mobian.org/ Suites: mobian Components: main non-free Signed-By: /var/lib/extrepo/keys/mobian.asc Recently we introduced Mobian staging, in which we include packages that are pretty new and/or might need a bit more testing. Mobian staging is a full Mobian repository, so it includes everything that the "normal" repository includes and a bit more (and some packages a bit newer). By switching to it, you agree to name your firstborn Debian and to never eat cookies again after 3pm! So think twice before you do it! The easiest way you can switch to using this repository is by simply changing the word bullseye to staging in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list, or the line Suites: mobian to Suites: staging in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources. This way, you will be getting all your Mobian packages from https://repo.mobian.org/dists/staging instead of https://repo.mobian.org/dists/mobian. Some of the packages you install will be from the staging Mobian repo and most will be coming directly and unmodified from one of the Debian mirrors. How do I find out if a package comes from Debian or Mobian?

It covers applying updates with zypper, locating and installing migration tools, registering the system, refreshing repositories, and disabling old repositories before enabling the Service Pack repositories. ### Source excerpt Administrowałem do tej pory głównie darmowymi distro, ale gdzieś tam ukradkiem wkradło się kilka "siusiaków" (aka SUSE Linux Enterprise Server). Żyłem w utopijnym przekonaniu że skoro się za nie płaci to powinno się z nimi łatwiej współpracować... w przypadku instalacji aktualizacji (a w szczególności SP) nie było to aż takie proste. Przywykłem w darmowych dystrybucjach że gdy pojawiała się nowszą "większa wersja" to po prostu można było jednym poleceniem zaktualizować wszystkie pakiety. Źródła aktualizowały się automatycznie (lub prawie automatycznie) - później trzeba było połatać ewentualne zmiany w plikach konfiguracyjnych. W SUSE jest ciut inaczej... 😉 ## approx - cachujące proxy dla repozytoriów Debiana DevFeed: [approx - cachujące proxy dla repozytoriów Debiana]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Tom Published: 2011-09-16T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: pl Sources: [Tomasz Gągor]() Topics: [proxy](), [Caching](), [apt](), [Ubuntu]() Tags: [apt](), [cache](), [debian](), [distro](), [linux](), [mirror](), [offline](), [proxy](), [ubuntu]() ### AI overview This Polish tutorial explains how to use approx as a caching proxy for Debian and Ubuntu repositories. It describes how cached package copies reduce repeated downloads and storage requirements, then outlines installation, configuration, and client setup through APT sources. ### Source excerpt Wielu administratorów gdy zaczyna swoją przygodę zarządza jedną/dwoma maszynami... Po pewnym czasie jest ich już kilka... W którymś momencie dostrzega się zalety wirtualizacji i na kilku maszynach fizycznych działa kilkanaście czy kilkadziesiąt maszyn wirtualnych. W takiej sytuacji pobieranie aktualizacji dla wszystkich maszyn potrafi mocno zabić łącze. I w tym momencie zaczynamy się zastanawiać czy może nie warto byłoby zrobić własnego mirror'a paczek dla naszego ulubionego distro... do prywatnego użytku... synchronizowanego w nocy by nikomu nie przeszkadzać... i dostępnego nawet gdy będziemy offline... Zaczynamy liczyć miejsce i okazuje się że repozytorium Debiana dla architektury i386 to prawie 60GB (sic!), no ale mamy kilka maszynek z arch amd64 i tutaj też prawie 60GB - auć. W tym miejscu wielu dochodzi do wniosku że to jeszcze nie pora na własnego mirror'a 😃
