The netinst Debian 12 DVD I downloaded wouldn't boot in EFI mode. How
do I install Debian 12 in EFI mode. Can I change it after it's
installed
I'm working on an ASUS computer for a deceased colleague's widow.
He had Fedora 28 on a HDD. I installed Debian 12 on an NVME drive. She
also wanted Windoze 11 so I installed it on another NVME drive.

standard Debian install. Version 22.12.3 is the one I currently have.

I have three Ultrium fibre-channel scsi DLT drives, and a few
cartridges.
One had a probably-inadequate internal power supply added to it.
I was told they were in operating order when they were given to me, but
I didn't get any fiber-channel scsi cards for my computer so I didn't
try them myself.
I've worked out the cause of the problem, and the weirdness of the
apparent solution.
I broke both shoulder blades in a recent fall. In particular, I still
can't raise my right hand onto the mouse pad on the right side of my

Suddenly today, the buttons started deciding on their own what they
meant. For example, the left button in the center of a Firefox tab
closed the tab instead of "topping" it. The scroll wheel magnifies or
shrinks instead of scrolling.

That doesn't open the KDE menu for me. The real question is "how do I

I use an IBM PS-2 keyboard, the kind with 102 keys, and therefore no
"Windows" key.
How do I set up a windows key, for example "Pause" or "Ctrl-Pause"?
I tried
XKBOPTIONS=Pause:Menu
and
XKBOPTIONS=pause:menu
in /etc/default/keyboard but those didn't work.

This might be the wrong forum for this question, but most likely

I can load pages from it from any computer in my house, all behind the

The first computer I was paid to write software for, in 1966, had 1,400
6-bit characters, not bytes, not kB, not MB, not GB. That's why IBM

After Firefox has been running for a few days my Debian 12.5 gets
really slow. The mouse jerks when it works at all. It takes a minute or
two for wndows to close or top. At the moment, Firefox has 19 processes
running. Memory is half full, and swap is about 10% used. When I kill
Firefox and restart

I tried to use the netinst to install Debian 12.5 onto a Dell Inspiron
15. Eventually, after the usual things, it said there was no kernel. So
I tried the 12.1.0 netinst and it also said there was no kernel. What
happened? How can I install?

Is anybody maintaining nedit? There's a list of developers on the "Help
=> Version" menu but no addresses.
The "Help => problems and defects" and "Help => Version" menus give a
URL that lands on a site in Finland. I assume it's in Finland because
it's all in Suomi, and has nothing to do with nedit
