I assume the subject "restart lasts maybe a minute till next freeze" refers to your Asus PRIME Z370-A II desktop/ workstation/ storage server computer (?). I suggest: 1. Disconnect all internal and external drives. 2. Connect the 1 TB WD Black M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 SSD into motherboard slot M.2_1. 3. Boot into Setup, reset all settings to factory defaults, save, and exit. 4. Boot the Debian Stable installer into a rescue shell or boot Clonezilla. Connect a large USB HDD with free space. Back up the M.2 SSD to the USB HDD. Connect another large USB HDD with free space and backup again. Power down. Disconnect USB HDD's. 5. Boot the Debian Stable installer into a rescue shell.

I willingly play lab rat for several applications, or canary in the coal mine, both scenarios fit. But I didn't expect to be used as a lab rat for an email program. Basic stuff like that , because the whole planet is using it, should just work. The current debian supplied t-bird doesn't. This mozilla's beta, and if I can recreate the filters it will work just fine. But I've not yet found the automatic filter generator. I do have other irons in the fire. Thank you.

To be fair, the comparison must include new user profile for the ESR release packaged in Debian. By the way, the ESR branch is approximately half a year old. Beta is for testers. Use at least *release* build.

As you already know, the software in Debian Stable lags behind upstream releases by design. If you want a newer releases, then please seek other options such as Debian Backports, Debian Testing, Debian Unstable, etc.. If and when you choose Debian Stable or Old Stable, then please KISS and run it OOTB. You must bend your will to Debian, not the other way around. I use and recommend Debian Old Stable for a desktop daily driver and as a VirtualBox host (via official Oracle packages integrated into the Debian package system). If and when you encounter an issue on a KISS and OOTB Debian Stable or Old Stable system, then using the appropriate Debian support resources makes sense (including this ML). Build your custom *nix systems on dedicated hardware (e.g. your CNC controllers) or in virtual machines. If and when you encounter an issue, isolate it. If it is reproducible on a KISS and OOTB Debian Stable or Old Stable system, then see the above paragraph. If not, then please seek out the appropriate support resources (such as the CAD/CAM software vendor) and/or please use your knowledge and skills to find and fix the issue. > Merry Christmas all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :-) David

On the other hand, I expect that you will continue to use the computer in the same way; and that you will not identify and fix root cause issues. >> I assume the subject "restart lasts maybe a minute till next freeze" >> refers to your Asus PRIME Z370-A II desktop/ workstation/ storage >> server computer (?). > Yes, its stable as long as the debian version of t-bird wasn't running, > start it and it locked the system up while fetching the initial imap > scan for new msgs.

Given the complexity of your haystack, I expect finding and fixing the needle(s) would be time prohibitive. When I destabilize a system, my preferred solution is a backup, re-image, and restore cycle. To make this solution possible, I have invested myself in disaster preparedness. And, I must continue investing effort on a regular basis to keep it viable. When all I had was data backups, my best option was backup, wipe, fresh install, and restore. Things were truly scary before I had decent data backups. If you rebuild the computer as a hypervisor host (using the NVMe PCIe SSD) and a storage server (using the various SATA SSD's), you can do all the experimentation you want inside virtual machines. If a VM blows up, the base system keeps running and so do the other VM's. This removes your current problem of "all of your eggs in one basket". Also, a good hypervisor makes it easy to snapshot and revert VM's. This facilitates disaster preparedness and disaster recovery for the VM's. You would still need data backups; use the HDD's. David

Given the complexity of your haystack, > I expect finding and fixing the needle(s) would be time prohibitive. It is indeed, David. The package managers apt and synaptic cannot find anything wrong, and I should be on record as reporting that opening any local file takes a minimum of 30 seconds to pop up the requester, during which time the system is also locked. I've installed some stuff folks have suggested to no avail so I gave up wasting everybody's time and just put up with it. memtest86 has toured the 32gigs several times but doesn't find anything. Frustrating but apparently it hasn't bothered anyone else. It would very helpful if something stuck up a hand or did the gotta pee dance but in 2 years nothing has. Maybe its something leftover from ripping out orca and brltty that I tried to stop by a fresh install around 30 times. The installer put them in even when I said no. > > > When I destabilize a system, my preferred solution is a backup, > re-image, and restore cycle.

It would very helpful if something stuck up a hand or > did Hello Gene and David, Due to the subject, I had not read earlier emails in this thread, until today. And I'm here to say I've also had problems I've imputed to Tbird, based on the fact that when Tbird is NOT running, the systme is as solid as a rock. Of note is the fact that my issues were not nearly instantly provoked, in some cases it took several hours before the system hung. In one case, I was using Zoom when it hung and the audio (and network) continued to work, for about 18 minutes before locking up. Finally, I've switched to using Evolution and this has generally been a good change. It did hang, once, at the beginning but has not been a problem since. I also replaced my video card just before switching to Evolution, from a 1GB Nvidia board to a 4GB AMD Radeon HD 7670 card. How helpful or usefull this is, is open to debate, but at least there is a second case, for what it's worth. Bob

Bring your system to the minimum you can - disconnect the other drives for the meantime. Install Debian to that drive - standard, stable Debian. Gradually reinstate the other drives and potentially copy data across once you have a simple stable Debian 12. The 30 installs you did resulted in a whole stream of annoyed emails: that was almost entirely because you had a USB serial device. Simplify, simplify, simplify. If all else fails, get hold of a secondhand machine that you can use to troubleshoot problems like this rather than your main machine.

I don't often think inside that famous box. I read virtually every msg posted here, hoping to glean a clue to something I can check from someone else with a similar problem. First, I don't own a wired mouse except the serial interfaced one on my now dead from nearly 40 yo caps trs-80 color computer 3. So hooking that up would probably trigger the install of orca and brltty despite specifically skipping by that question from the installer.. IDK, haven't tried it. Won't do this below either, because putting it back together would be the equ of pulling a new mobo out of the box and building it all up from scratch again. Those 2 slots, rumor has it only 1 will work, but which one? No one can tell me. They are buried UNDER several other cards, including 2 more multiport sata-II cards holding now out of service raid10's. This mobo is filled up. A radio would be nice, 3d printers come with them now, but where would I put it? Video is mobo. I'll probably do that when trixie is out, a year or so down the log if I'm still here then. By building a new machine. Maybe by then wifi will be secure, it is sure not now when a neighbor with a hell fone can use 60GB of my bandwidth a month w/o leaving a log. That was not found until i had a new printer do a band scan and it showed up in my ipv4 address block. I run a dhcpd with its hands well tied. It only reply's to known MAC addresses. I run a level 3 time server just to service the rest of my machines but ntpsec does that regardless. Can't be stopped w/o megabytes of iptables entry's. > You've got an NVME drive that's unused, I think, that you could put onto your > motherboard.

Doing so without a pointing device sounds like a lot of work. If a lack of a pointing device causes d-i to install accessibility tools that you do not want, I suggest connecting a pointing device during installation. > 3.

I have an older PS/2 VGA KVM switch with too many adapters. The mouse and/or keyboard die periodically, and I must power cycle the right equipment to get them working again. I run the Xfce desktop, and the KVM episodes do not trigger installation of accessibility software. > Won't do this below either, because > putting it back together would be the equ of pulling a new mobo out of > the box and building it all up from scratch again. Yes. Reduce complexity, document your work so that it is repeatable, and you will be in a much better position to troubleshoot any issues. > Those 2 slots, rumor > has it only 1 will work, but which one?

Please configure your gateway and/or access points: - Enable WPA2/WPA3 security and set a secure password. - Enable MAC filtering, enter the MAC addresses of your devices, and block all other MAC addresses.
