Hi. Running Debian, 64-bit Unstable, Cinnamon DE, on laptop. Not very knowledgeable about sound stuff. Sound okay last night. Today did updates, no sound at all. (When in doubt, blame updates.) Cinnamon sound settings applet shows "Dummy Output" as only output device, instead of "Speakers" as

New Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3511 sound problem on Debian 11 Stable

2023-02-09 Thread Default User
Hello to all! I just got a brand new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3511 laptop. Came with Windows (ugh!) preinstalled. My old Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3542 laptop (made in 2014) just died. So this one should work, right? No. Unfortunately the new 3511 is quite different from the old 3542. I

[OT?] home partition vs. home directory

2018-11-30 Thread Default User
I often see people recommend a separate home partition. But why would (or not) that be better than just a home directory within the root directory? Wouldn't one less partition be simpler, and therefore (all other things being equal) better? Opinions, please.
