debian 11 Bullseye RC 1
All, I just successfully installed bullseye RC 1 on my Asus notebook model X200CA. Everything is working. If you are looking for a notebook to run Debian I highly recommend this model. I installed Bullseye RC 1 on my new HP Pavillion 15-eh0097nr laptop. The AMD Ryzen 4700 is a work horse but the integrated graphics don't work. The WiFi does not work needs kernel 5.12. The bluetooth does not work needs kernel 5.12. For now it will have to stay on Windows... Boo If you are looking for a laptop to run debian I do not recommend this model. I have Debian 11 RC 1 running in a virtual machine with VirtualBox and almost everything works. I am not able to mount my USB drive formatted to EXT4 and SDDM locks up and is unresponsive after locking the screen for an extended period of time requiring a reboot. Can anyone suggest a WiFi USB adapter that works with debian? I have purchased four from Amazon 2 AC 2 N and none of them work with Bullseye. I want one that does not require building my own drivers and has the drivers built into the Linux kernel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to testing RC 2 when it is released. Tim

I suggest getting a wireless adapter that is Respects Your Freedom certified by the Free Software Foundation to work with only free software. You can see a list of those here: https://ryf.fsf.org/products?category=7 These are guaranteed to work with fully free software and free firmware. Most (all?) of the USB ones use the ath9k_htc chipset, and although they're not yet working with the installer (#934822) or working out of the box (#900171), they work if you install the firmware-ath9k-htc package. Alternatively, you may reply to me privately if you're looking for advice on how to hunt eBay for bargain ones, although then you're taking a gamble of whether a device really has the chip inside it's supposed to. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Are you installing firmware-amdgpu from the non-free repository if not? You may just be hitting the generic "I have a brand new laptop - why won't it install" problem common to every Linux for a short while as the newest hardware lacks immediate support. What does lspci report for the Wifi chipset in the laptop itself? All the very best, as ever, Andy C.

Please note that there is no such package with name "firmware-amdgpu" ! (You have already been told so in the past.) It's named "firmware-amd-graphics". Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3

I just found this: https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/ I am going to download and install from this image. Hopefully my WiFi will work if not Linux Mint has drivers so I may download and install it. > Holger > > > -- > Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3 > >

It's not *that* surprising but can you provide more info (e.g. the links saying these require 5.12)? > Can anyone suggest a WiFi USB adapter that works with debian?

If the only problem with the internal one is a too old kernel then certainly installing a newer kernel (even building it manually) is better than literally buying several devices... > Looking forward to testing RC 2 when it is released. If the hardware requires a kernel newer than 5.10 this likely won't change things. -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Correct, to the best of my knowledge there don't exist any libre Wi-Fi adapters supporting 802.11ac, USB or otherwise. Even the OpenWifi project seems to have their sights set on 802.11n. In theory this might not be a hardware limitation, but a driver+firmware one. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Even the OpenWifi > project seems to have their sights set on 802.11n. Seems OpenWifi has (at least a subset of) the newer 802.11ax in sight: https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi/issues/56 https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi/issues/19 That said, I agree that 802.11n is the limit with Free drivers today. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
