Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: HTTPS Proxy Connection Error on Windows

When using an HTTPS proxy, browsers may encounter the following errors:

  • Firefox: NS_ERROR_NET_PARTIAL_TRANSFER
  • Chrome: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

This could be due to proxy blocking by built-in Windows protections, such as Windows Defender or the firewall.

Solution

  1. Disable HTTPS traffic inspection in Windows Defender:
    • Open the Windows Security Center.
    • Go to Manage Virus & Threat Protection Settings → Settings.
    • In the HTTPS Inspection section, turn off encrypted traffic analysis.
  2. Temporarily disable the firewall for testing:
    • Open Control Panel → Windows Firewall → Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    • Temporarily disable the firewall for private and public networks.

Issue: Network interfaces change names when PCIe devices are modified

By default, Debian uses Predictable Network Interface Names, which results in names like enp3s0.

Solution

  1. Using systemd.link to bind a name
shell
# get the MAC address
ip a

# create a file with the device's MAC address
cat > /etc/systemd/network/10-enp3s0.link <<EOF
[Match]
MACAddress=00:11:22:33:44:55

[Link]
Name=enp3s0
EOF

# restart
systemctl restart systemd-networkd
  1. Using GRUB system parameter to disable predictable naming

To revert to classic names, you can disable this system. After doing so, network interfaces will use standard names like eth0, eth1, etc.

shell
# add parameters
nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
# update GRUB and reboot
update-grub
reboot

Issue: Locale on Debian + Mac or other

  are supported and installed on your system.
warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_US.UTF-8").

Solution

Execute to node for user root

shell
echo "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" >> /root/.profile && \
echo "export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8" >> /root/.profile
