There is a problem when upgrading to the current kernel if you use nvidia drivers/firmware in Debian, a fix is on the way and there is nothing really for Q4OS or it's users to do until the next update, best advice would be to roll back to 6.1.0-17 kernel until it is fixed.

Just to update this, a new kernel build is available in the debian proposed-updates repository, I'm not sure if the devs have this repo available but the Debian wiki has some instructions that can safely be used HERE.

Thanks but it seems this repo is not (yet) available in Synaptic Package Manager.

You could use the instructions I linked (Debian Wiki) to enable it.

EDIT:
And as a btw, it is the nvidia driver package that will need to be updated and that will allow the kernel to install correctly, apologies for my previous mis-information about it being a kernel problem.

Re: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

You need to add non-free section to your source entry, this is mine

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-proposed-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

The warning notice relating to "Conflicting distribution" has disappeared

I am not so sure about the unchecked items in Repository...

and Discovery

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stable-proposed-updates main

You will still need to add the non-free section of the repository, and then run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Thanks, I did that but not working - running around circles - Synaptic producing errors - I gave up fixing and re-installed - it's much faster!

Thanks again... Cheers.
