SolydXK has very good support on most innovate F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) file system. Video guide is here

Well, now you know what you have to do, use SolydXK. And stop advertising here another distro.

Quote from: Matej9 on February 07, 2025, 01:26:31 PM[....] F2FS is most innovate file system with specialization for PCs and laptops with SSD.

   Yes, surely it will:


Quote from:  ArchWiki [....]  Warning:
The data contained on F2FS partitions can become unusable if the kernel version on the running machine is older than the kernel version used to create the partition. For example, this limitation can manifest if the F2FS partition was created on a mainline kernel provided by linux yet the system has a need to downgrade to an older series of kernels provided by linux-lts.
[....]
Know Issues:
F2FS has a weak fsck that can lead to data loss in case of a sudden power loss ...

Quote from:  Wikipedia Note, that by default F2FS uses "posix" fsync scheme, which carries higher risks of leaving the file system in dirty state during unclean shutdown (as it does not guarantee atomicity of write operations) at the benefit of better performance.
 [....]


Damn it lad, is so good that absolutely NO ONE uses it.

Well, it seems that there is finally good news.

There is a new version (> xsane 0.999-12.2) in sid, that fixes the long-standing issue:

I forgot to comment in the previous message that both alternatives install a lot of KDE6-dependent crap.
So, keep that in mind.

Does anybody of you know more about to find a solution or alternative. In this time I use simple-scan, but, of course, it is not so comfortable like xsane.
Please, check out these links. Let's see if they work for you:

Or, where can I find a road map of integrating all missing applications into testing?

Hello all,

for a lot of weeks GIMP is available gain, but I still miss xsane.

Does anybody of you know more about to find a solution or alternative. In this time I use simple-scan, but, of course, it is not so comfortable like xsane.

Or, where can I find a road map of integrating all missing applications into testing?

Thank you for your help again.

Sincerely.

For curiosity only, please can someone explain to me who gets to decide which versions of apps end up in the Debian Stable branch?

See:


Quote from: SYMC-Multimedia on February 01, 2025, 05:08:52 PM[....] The app we use for projection and sound in our church is OpenLP. Installing it from Debian Stable, we get version 3.0.2-2. That's pretty old. The latest and greatest is 3.1.6.

In this case, you would only have as an option to use testing/unstable packages.

Or use a slightly more conservative option. Using the Flatpak pkg provided by OpenLP (which is the version you're looking for).







Cheers !!
