Adding more sources to PostX Gnu/Linux

All of the below should be done as root / sudo su . Caution is advised when operating as root or sudo su. Accidental and careless usage might be dangerous to system stability. Proceed with your own responsibility.

On a latest release of PostX Gnu/Linux contrib and non-free sources entries were accidentally left out. This will be fixed on later upcoming releases. For now you can add the following entries to sources list files:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security contrib non-free

Adding entries can be done manually by adding them into /etc/apt/sources.list. Alternatively, they can be added to file of your choosing under /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory structure.

For example you can make a file called patch.sh with the sources list content, as seen above, and make it executable with chmod +x patch.sh .

Finally, you can execute the patch.sh as follows: cat patch.sh > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list .

This will create a new file called extra.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder. To apply changes to system, you still need to execute apt-get update. After this you are all done and new sources should be ready for usage.

AMD status on Debian 11: Things got a lot better with AMD graphics cards on Debian 11. However, some issues still persist with newer cards when booting into a freshly installed system. For example, the dm (Lightdm) might not show up or things might not function at all on xserver. If you are in any doubt when it comes to your graphics card´s functionality, use something like Virtualbox with extension packages to experience the system.

Size of the image is about 1012mb.
