Built Plasma 6.6.6, KDE Frameworks 6.24.0, KDE Gear 25.12.3, QT 6.10.2

With the announcement of the Plasma LTS for 6.6 on Kubunutu I thought I would have a play around with getting it packaged for Debian 13. There were a couple of caveats in that I had to build against QT 6.10 for 6.6.6 which also meant rebuilding some other packages that depend on QT Base. Also needed backports for newer wayland protocols, mesa and pipewire. Been an interesting little project. This is just in a VM so far and I'm deploying the debs with a local apt repo.

May see if I can get a little CI/CD pipeline going for myself when the TechPaladin team start publishing their LTS branches.

Returning Player Check My Build

Hi all,

I am returning to GW like a lot of people and to be honest I've forgotten where I am up to. I am in the middle of the Crystal Desert missions and started some of the EON stuff but that was about it back in the day. Wondering if anyone could take a look at my build and tell me whether I am missing something or a better setup for this level (20).

LXD Can't start a container.

Having this issue on a new 26.04 box. I've followed the Canonical docs on installing and setting up LXD and my user is a member of the LXD group. But every time I try and start a container I get the below, anyone else seen this?

SOLUTION: For anyone else with a VPN and this issue, the solution was to mount the cgroup somewhere else. https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/help-help-help-cgroup2-related-issue-on-ubuntu-jammy-with-mullvad-and-privateinternetaccess-vpn/14705/18

Dell XPS 8950 Tower GPU Upgrade Question

I have the 450w PSU variant with a 3060Ti and was picked out a Radeon 9060XT and have been having some issues with it where 3 out of 5 times, it wont drive the displayport monitor. It eventually picks it up and boots and once on the desktop is fine. I noticed the fans start on the card and then stop, not sure if thats normal for a Radeon card.

Anyone else had an issue like this? Could be the PSU? 450w is the minimum requirement for the card and technically the card is more effecient than the 3060Ti but it is a newer card (the Radeon).

AMD Card not found as primary GPU on Kernel 7.0.x but is on Kernel 6.12.x

Hi all,

I am running Debian 13 with a 9060XT and found that with the stable kernel 6.12.x that the Radeon is detected as the main GPU and is set as the renderer for OpenGL and vainfo. I upgraded to the backports kernel and found that the onboard intel card was then picked up as the main GPU and set as the OpenGL renderer and vainfo (despite the monitors only plugged into the AMD card). I've got it working fine now by setting up a udev rule to set the AMD card as the 'mutter-device-preferred-primary' device. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this behaviour. Its a tower workstation I am on, so have no use for a hybrid setup.
