Dear Debian Team, *1) first (always) say something positive*
being a big fan of Debian since aprox 10 years thanks for all your efforts making Debian a easy to install (universal) reliable system, that lowers the bar for users trying to go Open Source and GNU Linux and FreeSoftware (a migration via OSX might be a good transition from Windows) today was the day trying out the new Debian 11 with LTS (LTS is a reason for users consider switching to Ubuntu, so good choice there) *2) the problems:* *E1: (error1) problem: Debian 11 won't install* *tested on:* o hp server g6 proliant (amd64) o x60s laptop (i386) * *observed problem:* o network aka "the internet" (like ping 1.1.1.1) works at the beginning o then it loses network connection (on all nics even wifi) o *and setup will fail ***before "software selection" screen* with screenshots that can be seen here* + *pwd: DebuggingDebian11* + *https://dwaves.de/2021/08/17/gnu-linux-debian-11-testing/ <https://dwaves.de/2021/08/17/gnu-linux-debian-11-testing/> * + got isos from herehttps://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/debian-cd/11.0.0/ <https://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/debian-cd/11.0.0/> # did the sha512sum -c on all downloaded isos (so it ain't a download corruption problem) *S1: (suggestion1) there needs to be an easy way to report errors* S.1.) include a "report problem" button, that automatic generates a report to store away any error logs (and dmesg) that is generated during the setup on a usb drive, for easy upload to https://debian.org/report-a-problem <https://debian.org/report-problem> or: S2.) (even better if network works) include a "report problem" button, that automatic generates a report and uploads it to debian.org for further investigation (easily accessible as a link like https://debian.org/errors/report/2021-08-17_11-57_lenovo_x60s_128903786351782539 <https://debian.org/errors/x60s-128903786351782539>) *Q1: (question1): why is there nor vi nor less included in the setup?* makes debugging things very very hard please checkout this wonderful script that should run on some console during setup per default https://dwaves.de/2017/06/15/linux-monitor-all-logs-in-real-time-d-follow-all-show-changes-to-log-files-under-varlog/ <https://dwaves.de/2017/06/15/linux-monitor-all-logs-in-real-time-d-follow-all-show-changes-to-log-files-under-varlog/> which would display all errors (currently via ccze) nicely in *RED* *for easy visual detection of problems* PS: thanks for rss feed btw this app https://dwaves.de/2021/06/16/how-to-read-news-in-the-21st-century-apps-rss-feeds-turns-the-users-android-based-device-into-an-independent-open-source-based-news-aggregator-that-respects-the-users-privacy/ <https://dwaves.de/2021/06/16/how-to-read-news-in-the-21st-century-apps-rss-feeds-turns-the-users-android-based-device-into-an-independent-open-source-based-news-aggregator-that-respects-the-users-privacy/> allows nice following of news such as https://www.debian.org/News/2021/20210814 <https://www.debian.org/News/2021/20210814> via rss feed https://www.debian.org/News/news <https://www.debian.org/News/news> On 8/17/21 10:32 AM, debian-devel-digest-requ...@lists.debian.org wrote: -- mit freundlichem Gruß / best regards https://www.dwaves.de - enact the web connect the people
