Hey all. As the title suggests I’m unable to update the repos due to broken keys. My clock is in sync, and I’m running the latest (to my knowledge) 202510 image. I’m aware of how to actually fix they keys, I just don’t know what link to get them from. Also, I understand it’s not good practice to run apt upgrade, is there some other way to update the system?
It is possible to upgrade the 202510 image to the current debian 13 release but it’s a lot of work. Start by changing /etc/apt/sources.list to trixie
# deb https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20230612T050707Z unstable main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
And continue with the painful process of upgrades.
Operating according to the method of starfive can ensure that both GPU and VPU are functioning properly. Firefox (starfive) can also utilize GPU and VPU.
You can also upgrade to the official Debian 13 version, which ensures the normal operation of the GPU and VPU. However, you will have to give up GNOME and can only use labwc, sway, and weston
Giving up Gnome is an upgrade for me if anything I was only using it since when I tried JWM performance was even poorer than usual and there were a bunch of graphical bugs. Are there any decent X11 implimentations? Most of my preferred DEs aren’t on Wayland.
The GPU driver for debian202510 is Wayland, so it does not support X11. Even if used, it will be yellow in color and slow in speed.
JMW seems to be a lightweight tiled window management, perhaps sway (wayland) will also make you like it.
If you must use X11 on VF2, you can only choose Deepin and OpenKylin, both of which support X11 GPU drivers and do not support VPU. They are all developed by Chinese software vendors.
