[EN] Repository to use in Siduction
« on: 2025/10/14, 11:49:11 »
Hi Guys,
i use siduction latest version and i'd like to know what is the repository to use, because i see a repository for nvidia but i didn't find by default, so i have to use only these?:

DEBIAN:
# debian loadbalancer
deb      https://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb      https://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb     https://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
#deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb      https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
#deb-src https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

#deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org sid main non-free

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stable main
#deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org stable main

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main

#deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstable main

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org experimental main
#deb-src http://www.deb-multimedia.org experimental main


EXTRA:
# This is the default mirror, choosen at first boot.
# One might consider to choose the geographical nearest or the fastest mirror.
deb      https://packages.siduction.org/extra unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware


FIXES:
# This is the default mirror, choosen at first boot.
# One might consider to choose the geographical nearest or the fastest mirror.
deb      https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb      https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable-nvidia main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

But where you tell users to use that repo for nvidia?

Thanks best regards

You did add this line by yourself, right?

deb      https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable-nvidia main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Unless towo was cooking something new and special, I doubt this "repo" exists.  unstable-nvidia  seems to be a directory within the siduction unstable repo hierarchie  which's packages are delivered through the "fixes" repo ... if I understand it correcly.

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstable main

DO NOT use deb-multimedia. DO NOT add the repo. It is an unofficial 3rd party repo and has been responsible for numerous breakages due to the way it replaces system packages with badly versioned ones from its own repo.
If you need any package from there (you don't) download it manually and install it with apt locally.

It's a very disputable hint, put mildly.
You are right; that repository is unofficial and provided by a third party.
Do not install a single package from this repository without first activating it — it could be very dangerous!

I speak from experience of broken packages when I used dmo many years ago, and from numerous reports of others having similar issues. dmo is not supported by Debian.

Thanks best regards
On siduction you generally don’t need to add a separate NVIDIA repo manually beyond what’s already provided. The important part is actually this line you already have:
Code: [Select]
deb https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable-nvidia main contrib non-free non-free-firmwareThat unstable-nvidia fixes repo is the one siduction recommends for NVIDIA drivers. It exists specifically to provide tested NVIDIA packages that match sid/unstable without users having to pull directly from Debian experimental or mix things too much.

And besides that, we do not encourage the use of deb-multimedia.org. Merry Christmas.

main reason i left debian

THEY LIE

I've also never had problems with deb-multimedia beside error in a package that was fixed with the next release.

Do you mean the user “Santa” who ran the kdenext repo?

The deb-multimedia repository is run by Christian Marillat, who has status 'developer' in the Debian Project.
