PSA: Chromium in Stable is currently way behind on security updates.

The Mods removed my previous message, assuming my post was AI.

I'm hoping some people see this and spread the word.

I have emailed the maintainers to find out why.

I hope this is useful to someone!

Update: It seems they have released an update to 152.0.7977.75.

Hey everyone, am I the only one who feels the need to plug in a network cable after switching to Debian, just to avoid issues with network adapters?

Debian Stable Question Nvidia drivers troubleshooting

11 Upvotes

Hi, everyone!

I'd like ask for help with Nvidia drivers on Debian 13. I have RTX 4060 laptop GPU and I tried to install Nvidia drivers using Debian documentation. During dkms building there was a message that nouveu is conflicting with driver and to resolve it I need to reboot my laptop after the building is ended. So, after building I've rebooted Debian and can't boot into it because it stucks during the boot. Who had the same problem please help!

PS: I use KDE plasma

Gnome Software and critical updates

14 Upvotes

I'm on Debian 13. Gnome Software is supposed to update every two weeks except for critical updates which should be updated immediately.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Software/Updates#Tentative_Design

When you run "apt changelog <package>" There is an urgency field. But isn't this field designed to indicate how fast a package should migrate from Unstable to Testing?

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#selecting-the-upload-urgency

Is this the same field that Gnome Software uses to determine if a package is critical? If so this doesn't seem to me to be a good field to determine that since that field is used to determine how fast a package moves from Unstable to Testing.

For example, the urgency to migrate to Testing might be low because the package might be large and disruptive but it might be a critical security vulnerability that needs to be updated immediately in Stable.

Basically I'm concerned that critical updates won't happen because Gnome Software is using the wrong field to determine whether they're critical. In particular, critical security updates.

Also I'm aware that "critical" could be either security or non-security updates.

Hope I was clear and thanks in advance.
