Note that firmware and drivers are separate items, both of which are needed for the device to operate. For the intel wifi, the package: firmware-iwlwifi needs to be installed, as well as the iwlwifi driver which is in the kernel in this case. If a wifi driver isn't in the kernel, it has to be...

If Debian is the user's name, then you can, as root, amend the file: /etc/sudoers by adding: Debian ALL = (ALL: ALL) ALL That will give user Debian permission to execute any command. To alter the /etc/sudoers file one usually uses the "visudo" command, as root, whilst in the /etc directory...

To check the installed status of the linux images and linux headers and lynis, you can run commands like: dpkg -l | grep linux-image dpkg -l | grep linux-headers dpkg -l | grep lynis and if the output lines begin with ii, it means that according to the system, they have been successfully...

The problem appears to be that the kernel is trying to compile a module/driver for Anbox Android container, but the code that the kernel is trying to compile has problems, hence it throws an error, so the user is directed to: Consult /var/lib/dkms/anbox-binder/1/build/make.log for more...

That resulting output from the aplay command is rather decisive. If alsa can't see the sound card, the kernel can't do anything with audio. I should have included that investigation in post #5. What comes to mind is to upgrade the kernel to the latest possible one so that the system gets the...

Yes, it's safe to alter the BIOS/UEFI option to AHCI and indeed preferable if not running RAID. Before installing linux mint, it's also useful to disable fast boot, and secure boot in the BIOS/UEFI.

@new_vintage , here are some considerations. The system appears to not see the codec for the system sound card, but only the audio codec on the Radeon video card from the output in your post #6: mad_hatter@rabbit_hole:~> cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Codec: ATI R6xx HDMI This is...

Frustrating issue. Some suggestions for more info: Check the codecs that the system has provided: cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep Codec Check for missing firmware dmesg | grep - firmware Check sound server status: systemctl --user status pulseaudio.service Check what's controlling...

"sound all good" is good :) Thanks for the output in post #47. It looks like the best default sound card the Intel 100. That is the sound card the system provides. The AMD sound card is on the Radeon video card. I expect the Intel is the one in current use. If the sound is good, it's probably...

Good luck with your studies :) The answers to your queries are in the manual pages: man ldd man ldconfig man ld.so These man pages are quite informative, though there may be some terms and concepts that need to be looked up elsewhere, but they do express the canonical information on the...

@nolew In post #36, where you showed the output of alsamixer, there are a couple of adjustments you could try: unmute S/PDIF; raise all sound levels to maximum so they show red at the top of each slider. You can use the instructions for adjustment described by @Condobloke in post #33. It...

Thanks. Your post #1 sparked me into trying to clarify dependencies for myself as well. In my case the issue started with the output of the command: apt list '?config-files' This command lists package names that have config files from those packages that have been removed but have left the...
