Is there no way to fix kernel headers for RT kernel 5.18.0-3-rt-amd64?

Great job on this website JT! Makes things so easy. Thanks

So I went through all the steps and have got Debian 12 installed (I think). I noticed two things when I went to reboot after upgrading.

First I noticed that the grub does not show my other OS any more. I have Linux Mint on another partition. It showed after installing 11.4 but when I upgraded to 12 it is no longer showing. Is there an easy fix for this. I have troubles in the past with fixing grub issues.

Second I noticed that it does not log me in automatically even though I went through the steps on your page. Any thoughts on how I can fix that?

Next step is to install LinuxCNC and see how that goes.

Thanks JT!

 
For anyone that is trying to setup auto-login in Debian 12 by just editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, there is one more step that needs to be done. see below.
Here are the steps that worked for me.

Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (found in JT's instructions)
Uncomment these two lines in the [Seat:*] section and change the username to your specifications:

autologin-user=username

autologin-session=0

Click SAVE

Now you need to add your username to the autologin group (extra step)
Open a terminal and type:
*Be sure to change the username to match the one you added in the previous step.

Reboot and it should log you in automatically.

Note that lightdm used in xfce and  is no longer used in the default debian GUI.
Autologin for it is in: /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

Yep. Sorry I guess I should have mentioned Debian 12 Mate.

Good catch!

Debian 12 non-free includes linuxcnc natively and will have better support for new hardware in the newer Linux kernel
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
But if its all working, stay where you are.
 

If you have a Mesa 7i96S you can not use the LinuxCNC version that is in Debian 12! You must build a deb or RIP from master.

I assume you have multiple users or something else like used a different user name because if you use the same name you used when you installed all you need to do is edit the lightdm.conf file.

Actually I use the same login name on all my computers. In fact I added the exactly same name to the autologin group that I was using to log into Debian every time I rebooted.

Not sure why it I had to go through the extra step.

I guess my post should state that "IF it does not login automatically after performing the steps in the instructions, then try to add the username to the autologin group".

For some reason every time I try to edit a post in this forum it screws up all the HTML tags. I then have to delete all the tags and re-do the entire post. Is this a known bug?

Yes, it is an issue with the CMS (content management system).
