I’m trying to connect my Linux laptop to the network at my workplace so I can share files with colleagues, but it’s not clear how to do it. I can plug in the Ethernet cable and get a connection to public internet but cannot see any storage drives on the local network. What should I do? Debian 13, GNOME 43.

I’m suddenly unable to get audio for video files, but only for one user and seemingly only with pipewire… It’s the same in all video players I’ve tried, flatpak and deb. If I log in as a different user everything is fine. And if I change the audio to alsa in mpv I get audio again there. Music files are unaffected. I don’t know if a permissions issue has arisen somewhere, another application is ‘hogging’ pipewire, or something else. Any help much appreciated! Debian 13, GNOME 48, Wayland

What’s the correct process to install and run a .py application and its dependencies? Where should I save the .py file, where should I run it from, and can it interfere with the rest of my system? Often there is an application/script I’d like to use and it is provided as a .py file download, along with a list of other applications/scripts that need to be installed separately for it to work. Often not all of these dependencies are available in my distro’s repository. There seems to be an assumption of prior knowledge as to how to get set up to run .py files, and it is therefore not documented on developers pages. Can anyone fill me in? I’d like to install this application. Perhaps it could be used as an example to help explain the process. My distro is Debian 13, in case that’s relevant. Thanks!
