Hi All, Well last night was an exercise in futility. I successfully copied my 32 GB SD card to another, and it booted just like the original. So then I did the research and used systemctl to disable the GUI boot. Then I had to remove the desktops, it showed two mates and one Gnome, the flashback metacity version. Using apt remove --purge, I got rid of the Gnome, but not the mate completely. After exhaustive researching, I did the apt remove --purge with mate-* and that finally got rid of it.
I thought tasksel was there for this purpose. :)
All this is so I can install OMV on it.
I would start from scratch! ;^)
But after all that, rebooting, doing apt clean and searching for any remainder of a desktop, OMV says there is still a desktop installed. My apt remove actions even removed the /usr/share/xsessions folder.
How is OMV ensuring that a DE is installed?
So now I'm going to mark that up as a learning session and I'm now working on installing Debian server on this i386 computer. I downloaded Debian 11.7 net install ISO, and now I'm trying to get speech so I can install it on the same SD card. I thought I'd let folks know since I did get some info on using DD when I started this.
I do not understand how this could benefit the list. -- John Doe
