A private repo for common problems.

Debian GNU/Linux

AMD Radeon drivers

This package contains the binary firmware for AMD/ATI graphics chips supported by the radeon, amdgpu and r128 drivers, not included in the official ISO.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics

dirmngr

dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading OpenPGP and X.509 certificates, as well as updates and status signals related to those certificates. For OpenPGP, this means pulling from the public HKP/HKPS keyservers, or from LDAP servers. For X.509 this includes Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol updates (OCSP). It is capable of using tor for network access.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dirmngr

Intel WiFi drivers

Intel WiFi drivers are not included in the Debian official repos. They are only available from non-free repo.

echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

MongoDB

MongoDB doesn't have official packages for Debian Stretch at this moment, so we'd have to install from the Jessie repository which will throw an error saying the dependency libssl1.0.0 will not be satisfied.

Installing MongoDB on Debian Stretch

# Get signing keys
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5

# Add the Debian 8 repo
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian jessie/mongodb-org/3.6 main" | sudo tee

# Download libssl1.0.0 deb file and install
TEMP_DEB="$(mktemp)" &&
wget -O "$TEMP_DEB" 'security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb7u3_amd64.deb' &&
sudo dpkg -i "$TEMP_DEB"
rm -f "$TEMP_DEB"

# Install mongodb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

PulseAudio

Had an issue on Debian Stretch on my Dell PC where pulseaudio daemon won't autostart. This solved the problem each time:

pulseaudio --start
sudo killall -9 pulseaudio
sudo systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.socket
pulseaudio --start
