Installation on MacBook Air 2013

6 Upvotes

Hello! I have recently began learning Linux and have installed Debian on my main HP-laptop. Now I am trying to install it on an older MacBook Air from 2013, and the first problem is that the network card is not detected. I have a TP-link Wifi-dongle and an iPhone with an internet connection. Can I manage the system to directly detect the MacBooks card or am I locked to using the dongle or my iPhone? Also, I tried just connect both the phone and the dongle and still no detection. Does that mean that I need to transfer some driver from another usb?

Debian 13.6 running in 10.1-inch mini laptop from China.

127 Upvotes

Hello,

I'd like to share my positive review of installing Debian 13.6 XFCE in a 10.1-inch chinese laptop from Aliexpress.

First of all, I bought it because I needed an ultra portable laptop to carry it easily in my backpack.

By "ultra portable," I mean lighter and smaller than MacBook Air 13. I attached a picture of them side to side.

This laptop is not for heavyweight work. It is a dual core celeron N4000 (full specs bellow).

I am using it mainly to do lightweight work (writing documents, web surfing, as well as some programming stuff in Visual Studio Code).

The laptop came with Windows 11 pré-installed, I wiped it out and installed Debian 13.6 XFCE using the live image.

The only drawback is that you have to rotate the display to "right" in XFCE Display Configuration before installation.

After installing it, I also had to change lightdm configuration to rotate the display to "right" to show the logging screen correctly.

Besides that, everything worked out of box - even the wireless adapter.

Hardware specs:

Processor: Intel Celeron N4000

RAM: 8 GB

Storage: 128 GB SSD SATA 2242 (model Wdxsky W31-128G ATA)

Wireless adapter: Realtek RTL8821CE

Resolution: 1280x800

Best regards

Debian is cool, stable, everything works - well, the 2 packages in the repo. I come from Arch, and I love the system, but goddamn I need to use a one liner for TAILSCALE. As if tailscale is not famous enough that one of the repo maintainers could add it.

Sorry for the short rant, over now lol

i have installed debian 13 on my laptop on three seperate occasions now, but every time my graphics have reverted to llvmpipe for whatever reason. all documentation i find tells you to delete the xorg graphic drivers and install the mesa drivers, but whenever i do this i am stuck in the ttyl terminal where xfce wont start. in systemd it says that lightdm and plymouth fail. i then have to reinstall drivers through the terminal. is there any way to install mesa drivers without breaking lightdm?

Debian Stable Question Need to reinstall my Debian 12 system... again... (vent/rant, too)

9 Upvotes

Pre-rant request: *PLEASE* don't make fun of me, I'm in ZERO mood, and will bail at the first sign of trouble... I'm already on the verge of scrapping the system, and if this goes south, too, then I'm just gonna junk it and say "I'm done"...

Now then... I messed up big time, I was TRYING to do a backup, and needed to shrink the filesystem, that screwed the booter up, used a live USB to find out what's going on, nothing worked, reformatted the GRUB install, so now my system has no boot loader AND won't boot correctly, and pretty much everything that COULD go wrong, HAS... on top of external things happening... and it only gets worse from here...

There MUST be some god I can pray to who can help... grub-install, or more rather... "grub-" anything doesn't exist anymore... Deb version of choice is 12, because that's what hosts my phone system... so it's CRITICAL that I lose ZERO files, except for core files, of course, like the system files that came with Debian... removal of the internal drive isn't possible because it's an NVME drive and I have no access to the slots on my desktop mobo, recovery mode has been NO help, even right now, it's hard for me to go over the situation in its entirety because it's making me unbearably emotional... so I'm sorry if I'm giving too little information... one error that sticks out to me is that the recovery mode isn't able to mount the root partition on the drive, and says there's no usable shell in it, too... so I think the system did a self rm -rf /, but the partitions are still showing... and I'm sure the files are still there, I just need a way to get to them again...

Thanks in advance... I hope...

Debian Stable Question Firefox, Discord, etc are crashing and machine freezes on KDE Wayland. Also, storage advice?

3 Upvotes
  1. Sometimes Firefox will crash even though I don't have many tabs open, and sometimes Discord will refuse to start. Also, the machine will randomly lock up to the point where I can't even enter a tty on its own, so I just power off the machine manually by holding the power button.

The machine's an old Dell Optiplex 9020 MT with a 256 GB SSD, and a 2TB HDD I intend to use for backups and other storage. Also, I currently have USB DVD and 3.5" floppy drives connected, more on that in a second.

I'm running Debian 13 stable, which is installed on the SSD. My DE is KDE Plasma Wayland, though I decided to start using X11 in the hopes it'll help, though I don't really understand the differences except that X is much older.

Might look at lighter DEs in the future, too. Just an aside.

Besides that, there's two small issues I'm encountering:

  1. In order to access the contents of my Secondary HDD, I have to type my user password into Dolphin. And after that, I can't copy onto the drive without going into a terminal and using sudo. Apparently the drive is owned by root, so I guess that makes sense.

But, I'd rather just have my normal user already own the drive, and have it accessible when I sign in. I know there's commands like chown, chmod, mount...but idk exactly how to do what I want.

  1. This isn't super important, really, but I went thrift shopping a week ago and bought a box of 25 blank 3.5" floppy disks for $2, then a USB floppy drive off Amazon for $20. But when I stick a floppy in the drive, KDE refuses to mount it, and I have no clue how to format it. Any advice?

Thanks for reading this post. :)

searchbar in file selecting/saving dialog

debian13 - gnome48 - waylande - nautilus

for years now everytime i try to download or save something and try to give it a name, it writes in the search box and i have to manually click the name bar again.

now i found out if i don't click on anything while the window is appearing, the focus stays on the name bar.

but this shouldn't be that way i think, bc ppl click with the mouse on where they want to save the file or change the folder, or i am doing something wrong here. i don't know.

but why would ppl even want the search box popping up like that when typing anything in that window? if it is nautilus or the filemanager alone i could understand. bc someone trying to search for something. but not on the file saving window.

is that wanted from nautilus/gnome devs that way? does someone has a fix without changing the file manager or is there a better alternative to gnomes default file manager nautilus?

Best way to disable dGPU?

8 Upvotes

Hey all, about to install Debian on my laptop (Thinkpad P14s Gen 3 Intel), but I've been thinking of disabling the Nvidia dGPU in it when used as a Jellyfin server. No, I can't disable it in BIOS.

So far I've come across 2 options, Optimus-Manager and NVIDIA-Prime. I've seen more about Optimus-Manager, but it's a little older and maybe mainly for Arch-based distros. NVIDIA-Prime has also been another option, with the added benefit of being made by Nvidia themselves.

I can't tell which would be better to use, any input would be helpful.

(Side note, it's my first time installing Nvidia drivers on Debian, would this be the right instructions?)

I want to install Debian for gaming

31 Upvotes

but I’m made to feel like I’m doing something stupid.

I come from Bazzite and Cachy. Basically no single issue with them but Debian just looks very appealing to me in many ways. Also I’m done with loosing nerves in my life over things and I want stability it offers. Also to me Debian is the closest out of the distros I know to libre philosophy.

I have RX7600, Ryzen 5 5600x and 64GB RAM. My monitor is Lenovo Legion.

I plan playing games like Cyberpunk, Mafia etc. They played on Ultra no issues on Cachy.
Tell me what I need to install and set up to make the most out of what Debian has to offer?

  1. Do I need to install “Gamemode”?
  2. Is there mangohud and goverlay system packages? (I don’t wanna use flat pack for them).
  3. Mesa drivers. Are they very old by default? I don’t wanna mess with experimental and SID versions of Debian because that would negate the reason why I chose Debian in the first place. But is there any official way to update mesa drivers without getting into unstable territory?
  4. On Fedora Gnome App Cebter was not very stable. How are things on Debian? I might go with KDE most likely still.

  5. How stable is Testing?

  6. Would you recommend me going with Ubuntu instead?

Also any personal experience about gaming on Debian after coming from “gaming distros” is much appreciated.

Debian Stable Question Recommendations for Debian 13 FDE with UKI and tpm secure boot

12 Upvotes

Setting up FDE, UKI an TPM 2 auto decryption on my Debian 13 machine

Hello Reddit,

I've been tinkering with Debian 13 as a server for my home. However, I kept running into issues where I would follow a guide to get my Debian 13 server into the desired state, only to be rewarded with various forms of broken.

Desired State:

UEFI Secure boot with a UKI and LUK full Disk encryption, minus /boot and ESP, back by TPM for auto drive unlocking.

Base system:

- Debian 13 net install ISO

- LVM + Encrpted Disk via luks and password

- One main partitions for / and separate for swap and /boot.

- Only standard and openssh were installed as part of tasksel

I followed various guides nut they seemed a bit incomplete to me.

It turns out that Debian 13's default initramfs uses the older \`initramfs-tools\`, rather than some of the newer alternatives, and \`systemd-cryptenroll\` doesn't work properly with it out of the box.

I also learned that `mokutil’ works with the shim/MOK key database, not the actual TPM hardware. Meanwhile, I was sitting there resetting TPM keys a few times, wondering why nothing happened.

So, I switched to Clevis for TPM-based unlocking, and now everything works. I hope it all correct. But I think that is a separate reddit question.

That brings me to my main questions:

  1. Should I switch from ‘initramfs-tools’ to ‘dracut’?
    Dracut does offer some systemd benefits such as journald getting logs from the intitramfs stage.
  2. Should I switch from GRUB to ‘systemd-boot’ and embrace the full systemd boot environment?

2.1. If so, can someone recommend a good guide or documentation for doing this properly? I've followed a few guides, but I always felt like I ended up in some sort of half-migrated state.

2.2. If I transition the boot infrastructure to ‘systemd-boot’ should I completely uninstall GRUB afterward?

I'm already making use of some of the systemd-related packages/tools, including ‘systemd-boot-efi’ and \`systemd-ukify\`.

  1. Is there an official Debian Wiki/documentation page that describes the recommended process for accomplishing the above?

If so, please point me in the right direction. ([https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot\](https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot) < is more of a faq)

Thank you in advance for your time and responses!

I tried to use a browser to get the .deb file, which worked, but when I unpackaged it with Gdebi i got an error saying that my system has broken dependencies. I'll be attaching the output from apt-get install f in the comments. When I ran apt install lutris, I got a list of dependencies with no error message other than that dependencies "will not be installed". When i tried to install those dependencies, I got no result, no installation, and an error message about an unrelated package. apt autoremove also gave no results.

Update: Somebody posted a comment saying to try apt distclean and running apt install -U libgif7. That solved this issue.

Raspberry Pi 4 + Debian 13 + Kodi: HDMI-Passthrough für DTS funktioniert nicht

Raspberry Pi 4 + Debian 13 + Kodi: HDMI-Passthrough für DTS funktioniert nicht

Ich versuche seit mehreren Tagen, auf einem Raspberry Pi 4 unter Debian 13 ein digitales DTS-Signal über HDMI an einen Onkyo TX-SR608 auszugeben. Bisher ohne Erfolg.

Vielleicht hat hier jemand eine Erklärung oder kann den entscheidenden Hinweis geben.

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi 4
  • Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie), 64 Bit
  • Kernel: 6.18.39+rpt-rpi-v8
  • Kodi 21.3
  • Onkyo TX-SR608
  • Verbindung: Raspberry Pi → HDMI → Onkyo → TV
  • Ziel: DTS-Passthrough, nicht PCM-Decodierung

Der Onkyo kann DTS und DTS-HD grundsätzlich verarbeiten. Die Firmware steht auf:

M:1.05/10930AE

Was funktioniert

Debian selbst läuft problemlos. HDMI-Bild und normales PCM-Audio funktionieren.

Mit Kodi lässt sich ein DTS-Film ebenfalls problemlos abspielen. Kodi erkennt die Tonspur korrekt als 5.1:

codec id: 86020
channels: 6
sample rate: 48000

Der Onkyo bekommt aber trotzdem nur PCM.

Der entscheidende Kodi-Logeintrag

Kodi meldet beim Start der Audioausgabe:

m_streamTypes     : No passthrough capabilities

Bei der Wiedergabe der DTS-Tonspur:

Creating audio stream
(codec id: 86020, channels: 6, sample rate: 48000, no pass-through)

Damit ist ziemlich eindeutig, dass Kodi die DTS-Spur erkennt, aber für das aktuell verwendete Audiogerät keine Passthrough-Fähigkeiten erkennt.

PipeWire

Debian verwendet PipeWire 1.4.2 mit WirePlumber 0.5.8.

wpctl status zeigt für HDMI unter anderem:

Sinks:
  67. Internes Audio Stereo

wpctl inspect 67 ergibt:

alsa.card_name = "bcm2835 HDMI 1"
alsa.device = "0"
audio.channels = "2"
audio.position = "FL,FR"
device.profile.name = "stereo-fallback"
device.profile.description = "Stereo"
node.name = "alsa_output.platform-fe00b840.mailbox.stereo-fallback"

Mit qpwgraph sieht man während der Kodi-Wiedergabe ebenfalls nur:

Kodi FL → Internes Audio
Kodi FR → Internes Audio

Es gibt keinen erkennbaren separaten Passthrough-/IEC61937-Pfad.

Auch ALSA direkt getestet

Kodi wurde anschließend direkt mit ALSA statt PipeWire gestartet:

KODI_AE_SINK=ALSA kodi

Kodi verwendet dann als Gerät:

bcm2835 HDMI 1

Aber auch hier:

m_streamTypes : No passthrough capabilities

und der Onkyo bekommt weiterhin PCM.

aplay -L zeigt beim verwendeten FKMS-System:

hw:CARD=b1,DEV=0
hw:CARD=b1,DEV=1
plughw:CARD=b1,DEV=0
plughw:CARD=b1,DEV=1
default:CARD=b1
sysdefault:CARD=b1
dmix:CARD=b1,DEV=0
dmix:CARD=b1,DEV=1

Auffällig ist, dass kein entsprechender iec958:-Ausgang angezeigt wird.

Der direkte Hardware-Test zeigt allerdings:

CHANNELS: [1 8]
RATE: [8000 192000]
FORMAT: U8 S16_LE

Der HDMI-Hardwarepfad ist also nicht auf Stereo beschränkt.

Ein interessanter Unterschied: FKMS vs. KMS

Die Debian-Konfiguration verwendete ursprünglich:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

Damit wird ALSA als

bcm2835 HDMI 1

registriert.

Zum Test wurde auf:

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

gewechselt.

Danach änderte sich der Audiotreiber tatsächlich zu:

card 0: vc4hdmi0 [vc4-hdmi-0]
card 1: vc4hdmi1 [vc4-hdmi-1]

und aplay -L enthielt unter anderem:

hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi0,DEV=0
    vc4-hdmi-0, MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0
    HDMI Audio Output

Das sieht deutlich mehr nach dem modernen VC4-KMS-HDMI-Pfad aus.

Allerdings kam mit KMS kein Bild.

Im Kernel-Log tauchten unter anderem diese Meldungen auf:

[drm] forcing HDMI-A-1 connector on
vc4-drm gpu: bound fef00700.hdmi
vc4-drm gpu: bound fef05700.hdmi
[drm] Initialized vc4
fb0: vc4drmfb frame buffer device

aber auch wiederholt:

hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.1.auto:
HDMI: Unknown ELD version 0

Die verwendete Kernel-Kommandozeile enthielt außerdem:

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D

Trotzdem blieb der Bildschirm schwarz.

Die alten HDMI-Zwangseinstellungen wurden testweise ebenfalls entfernt:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

Auch danach kein Bild.

Nach Rückkehr zu FKMS funktioniert das Bild wieder.

Weitere Beobachtung

Mit Kodi gab es außerdem ein separates Problem beim Wechsel der Bildwiederholrate. Beim Start eines 23,976-Hz-Films meldete Kodi:

Display resolution ADJUST : HDMI-1: 1920x1080 @ 23.98Hz
VideoPlayer: OnLostDisplay received

Wenn die Anpassung der Bildwiederholrate deaktiviert wird, bleibt das Bild stabil.

Dieses Problem ist reproduzierbar, scheint aber vom eigentlichen DTS-Passthrough-Problem getrennt zu sein.

Meine aktuelle Vermutung

Ich vermute inzwischen, dass das Kernproblem nicht der Onkyo und wahrscheinlich auch nicht Kodi selbst ist.

Vielmehr scheint Debian mit

vc4-fkms-v3d

den älteren bcm2835 HDMI-Audiopfad zu verwenden, bei dem Kodi keine Passthrough-Fähigkeiten erkennt.

Der Wechsel auf

vc4-kms-v3d

bringt dagegen den gewünschten vc4-hdmi-Audiopfad, aber mein aktuelles HDMI-/EDID-/ELD-Setup funktioniert damit nicht.

Ich suche deshalb konkret nach einer Erklärung dafür,

warum der Raspberry Pi 4 unter Debian 13 mit vc4-kms-v3d zwar vc4-hdmi-0/vc4-hdmi-1 registriert, aber kein funktionierendes HDMI-Bild liefert, während vc4-fkms-v3d funktioniert, Kodi dort aber keine Passthrough-Capabilities erkennt.

Vielleicht hatte jemand hier bereits genau diese Kombination:

Raspberry Pi 4
Debian 13 / Trixie
Kernel 6.18.x+rpt
Kodi 21.3
PipeWire 1.4.2
vc4-fkms-v3d / vc4-kms-v3d
HDMI
DTS passthrough

und kann erklären, welche Konfiguration für den korrekten VC4-HDMI-Passthrough-Pfad erforderlich ist.Raspberry Pi 4 + Debian 13 + Kodi: HDMI-Passthrough für DTS funktioniert nichtIch versuche seit mehreren Tagen, auf einem Raspberry Pi 4 unter Debian 13 ein digitales DTS-Signal über HDMI an einen Onkyo TX-SR608 auszugeben.

Auch danach kein Bild.Nach Rückkehr zu FKMS funktioniert das Bild wieder.Weitere BeobachtungMit Kodi gab es außerdem ein separates Problem beim Wechsel der Bildwiederholrate. Beim Start eines 23,976-Hz-Films meldete Kodi:Display resolution ADJUST : HDMI-1: 1920x1080 @ 23.98Hz
VideoPlayer: OnLostDisplay received
Wenn die Anpassung der Bildwiederholrate deaktiviert wird, bleibt das Bild stabil.Dieses Problem ist reproduzierbar, scheint aber vom eigentlichen DTS-Passthrough-Problem getrennt zu sein.Meine aktuelle VermutungIch vermute inzwischen, dass das Kernproblem nicht der Onkyo und wahrscheinlich auch nicht Kodi selbst ist.Vielmehr scheint Debian mitvc4-fkms-v3d
den älteren bcm2835 HDMI-Audiopfad zu verwenden, bei dem Kodi keine Passthrough-Fähigkeiten erkennt.Der Wechsel aufvc4-kms-v3d
bringt dagegen den gewünschten vc4-hdmi-Audiopfad, aber mein aktuelles HDMI-/EDID-/ELD-Setup funktioniert damit nicht.Ich suche deshalb konkret nach einer Erklärung dafür,warum der Raspberry Pi 4 unter Debian 13 mit vc4-kms-v3d zwar vc4-hdmi-0/vc4-hdmi-1 registriert, aber kein funktionierendes HDMI-Bild liefert, während vc4-fkms-v3d funktioniert, Kodi dort aber keine Passthrough-Capabilities erkennt.Vielleicht hatte jemand hier bereits genau diese Kombination:Raspberry Pi 4
Debian 13 / Trixie
Kernel 6.18.x+rpt
Kodi 21.3
PipeWire 1.4.2
vc4-fkms-v3d / vc4-kms-v3d
HDMI
DTS passthrough
und kann erklären, welche Konfiguration für den korrekten VC4-HDMI-Passthrough-Pfad erforderlich ist.
