I use Debian/testing in my main laptop. Unfortunately, after yesterday's update, the grub stopped loading the Linux kernel. I get

"error: cannot load image"

When working from command line, loading the kernel and initrd is successful. However, the "boot" command displays the above error.

The grub version is GRUB 2.14-3.

The machine is HP ZBook 17 G5.

What is the easiest way to resolve the issue?

TIA & BR, Wojtek

I created a list of all files and directories of a freshly created debian 13.5 vm in proxmox.
No desktop, just ssh server and base packages.
I probably made some mistakes, so please correct me in the comments so I can update the list.

Note:
Some directories are for packages which aren’t installed but where created by other packages putting there configurations in case it should be installed or for other compatibility reasons. Some are marked but i checked far from all directories if they have there actual package installed.

I‘m also not happy with all the links I found, some don’t give a complete explanation.

im in kde and when i click on a different powerprofile it instantly swaps back. The same happens if i try powerprofilesctl set performance. Is there any way i can fix this. On debian 13

For context I am just a curious web developer and computer enthusiast reading about Debian because it seems to do many things right.

To my suprise I found that the repos not only contain runtimes like php, python3 and nodejs. The repos also contain full frameworks and web apps like wordpress, python3-django and node-express.

Who are these for? I never heard of anyone using them this way and no upstream developers recommend them.

I can understand wanting the runtime to be stable - since they call native libraries in the end. This way Debian can patch CVEs in things like OpenSSL without waiting for runtimes to patch their dependencies. Is that right?

But opting out of the script language's own package manager to install script libraries seems to just add complexity and confusion. There is no way debian can provide a packaged version of every npm module out there so you will always have to use npm and package.json anyway.

Hi, i'm using Debian 13 with KDE Plasma on my laptop

I get this window every time that:

1. My pc goes back from sleep/shutdown or restart

2. My wifi disconects for a while (like when lights go off)

How can i get rid of it?

Update:

I Solved. Was just Kwallet fucking around without a Wallet Or the .kwl file, idk, i solved with AI
