Hi, I've run a computer lab with debian-edu 11 without trouble for some years. The lab will be used for a national online school test next April, and last version of chromium or other browser is needed from the test platform. (120.0.6099.224 that is available in bullseye at the moment is not enough) I tried to do this on a test machine:add the line deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main to sources.list apt update apt install chromium delete the line from sources.list apt updateit succeeded in upgrading chromium to version 133. etc but it broke something else in the system: now user sessions ends at random and i found errors like "Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts" in /var/log/messages and whatever else. I understand it can't work in that way. Is there a cleaner way to solve the problem? Shall I try to upgrade to debian-edu 12 even it isn't released yet? Thanks for any help or suggestions! Lorenzo
installing Debian sid package on a Debian 11 system pulls in uncontrollable dependencies and breakage of the system is likely.
You could upgrade/dist-upgrade your workstations (not the Debian Edu server!!!) to Debian Edu 12 via:
sed -i /etc/apt/sources.list -e "s/bullseye/bookworm/g" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade This should work...
