Agreed. However, a net search on testing would yield results that
are too old to be useful. My goal is to watch for bookworm topics
via search engine's "news alert" features.
Something
happened to my amd firmware for a ryzen3 3200g. A few weeks
ago, this machine made an uneventful transition to bookworm.
I'd
originally installed bullseye and the non-free firmware
package to get
the firmware for this setup. Everything was fine until
yesterday, after
some bookworm updates and a reboot. No more video driver for
X.
I've tried downgrading to stable from testing. No joy.
I've wiped /lib/firmware and reinstalled
firmware-amd-graphics. No joy.
I've checked
I just booted ubuntu live and graphics are high resolution.
It feels like there's some setting in /proc or /sys that got
changed
accidentally.
Any debugging tips?
it does not take that much space to set up a separate
partition for stable on a system to keep a working version
available and for comparison. this is what i do.
Damn, that is such a good idea! I will add that to future
re-partitioning. Right now, to get this box on the air, I did the
two partition (/ and swap) setup and added lvm2 for backups and
such. I think the resolution to this issue is to reinstall. I'll
wait a few weeks for testing to ripen to 12, move /home to its own
partition (and probably /var), create a /stable partition and
reinstall.
As I understand it, this /stable is not bootable?
