BULLSEYE INSTALL, 2022-09-23:

Decided to do a virgin install of bullseye to my /dev/sdb while keeping
/dev/sda devoted to Stretch. Got the installer onto a USB stick, and
proceeding normally. The 'normal' install (sorry, I forget the exact name)
... I get as far as partitioning and although the disk (sdb) is already
partitioned and formatted and working fine, it seemed to be impossible to
just leave things as they were and install to the existing partitions, it
kept complaining that a necessary step was not completed. Erasing the
partitions (overwrite with zeros) didn't help. I couldn't figure out how to
make it work so backed up and selected 'use whole disk'.

You are lacking vital information to pass on to us here: what
necessary step was not completed?
When I tried to bypass partitioning.  As I said,  the disk was already 
partitioned and formatted and had a working copy of Debian 9 on it, so 
my thought was to just zero out the existing partitions, which was 
offered, and then proceed to install, but the the installer refused to 
let me proceed.  It seemed to feel the need to create partitions not 
reuse them.  The final partitioning screen showed the partitions marked 
'K' (keep) and I couldn't explain to the installer that they were free 
to use.

Proceeding, the installer couldn't establish a connection to the web.

What network hardware do you have? Wired or wireless?
Wired.  Pretty basic.  As I said, the 'advanced' installer had no 
trouble whatsoever.  The only thing I interacted with was setting the 
delay time to ten seconds from the IIRC default of three seconds.  Seems 
to me the 'basic' installer could/should be able to handle that.



Trying again, I disconnected sda to keep it from getting mauled a second
time and proceeded with the 'advanced' installer, again selecting 'use
entire disk', this time the installer took the extra steps to get the
network up and running and the install completed quite smoothly.

Shouldn't the 'normal' install do whatever is needed to get the network
running? the advanced install had no problem there, I didn't have to
intervene it just got it done.

The normal installer is the advanced installer but it
pre-answers a lot of questions with the most common answers.


Sure, and it was good enough for me, except that it wouldn't connect to 
the internet as I just mentioned.






Why would the installer trash the MBR on a disk that was not involved?

Why couldn't I use existing, functioning ext4 partitions?

You can. Somewhere in the missing error messages are the clues.


It could be that I just wasn't interacting with it properly.  If there 
was a log or something I'd be happy to attach another disk to the 
machine and try again and send you the results.  As long as you guys are 
interested I'll do anything to help.



Thanks Dan

If one does have to abort, wouldn't it be better if no changes at all

abort? In other words, why not check that the network is available 
*before* trashing the MBR of both disks and the partition table of sdb 
and the swap partition of the other disk?


... just in case anyone is interested.



Re: Problems installing from flash drive.

2021-02-05 Thread Jeremy Andrews
Hi Richard,

Here's what I would probably do:

- create directories on your USB or partition for each of the DVDs
- extract each ISO, and place the contents in the directories
- if using a separate partition, mount it in your fstab at a location such
as /mnt/deb, or if using a USB, just make sure to always mount it at the
same location when you want to install something

Then you can add a line such as this to your APT sources:
deb [trusted=yes] file:///mnt/deb/DVD1/ buster main
deb [trusted=yes] file:///mnt/deb/DVD2/ buster main
deb [trusted=yes] file:///mnt/deb/DVD3/ buster main

Now whenever you want to install something, you shouldn't have to worry
about which DVD it was on, APT should just automatically find it.

Re: "Run fsck manually"..?

You might have to boot from a recovery CD image, such as a Debian live

while said drive is mounted.

Re: debian stable kernel not updating on one machine

2021-02-02 Thread Jeremy Andrews
Possibly a dependency conflict of some kind. Maybe try updating from the
terminal to see if it works or at least gives a useful error message
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade

You could also check the contents of the /boot directory to see if the
kernel is actually there. If the kernel is there on the drive but not being
used to boot, then you could try running "sudo update-grub" and then
rebooting.

How do I boot a Debian 9.1.0 amd64 iso from GRUB?

2017-09-14 Thread Ethan Andrews
Hello,

I have recently had issues with burning DVDs and am wondering if I can 
boot a Debian 9.1 AMD64 DVD iso directly from an installed GRUB on 
another Debian partition.
Preferably, is there a way of booting from the DVD boot sector in the 
iso so I can boot any operating system iso as well?

Thank you!

 Change that symlink to point to poweroff.target:

Re: installer fails to configure DHCP

 Otherwise, the Realtek card works perfectly on this machine (I just
 wanted to reinstall in order to reshape  partitions). Then, I noticed
 that this is a standing bug:


I've found the tiny DHCP client on the install images don't work under a 
variety of circumstances. For some reason, it becomes particularly unusable in 
VMware Fusion bridge mode virtual machines, but works fine if using host NAT.

I'd love to say I'm using some rubbishy proprietary DHCP server on a Cisco 
device or something, but I'm using plain isc-dhcp-server on an emDebian device. 
This sees the request, and responds. tcpdump confirms the response hits the 
network, so it must be a slightly broken DHCP client.

If you install using a statically assigned address then switch to DHCP after 
installation, you may find that once isc-dhcp-client is installed leases work 
just fine.

Setting module parameters?

2007-04-29 Thread Colin Andrews
I just did a clean install of etch (congrats and thanks to all those who
made etch happen)

but I seem to have this problem:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1999/06/msg02838.html

I have a 3Com 3c905B that is using the 3c59x driver module, but it will
only come up at 10 Mb/s instead of 100. I tried the solution listed in
that link, but it doesn't see, to help. I notice that that post is rather
old though. Is there a different way to set those module parameters now?
Is there a better way to solve this problem now? (other than buying a new
nic).

Thanks

I have my sources.list setup like in the apt pinning howto. I set it up to

non-free internet radio?

2005-09-04 Thread Colin Andrews
NooB Disclaimer:
Though I've used unix/linux for many years, it's mostly been on servers or just
bash/csh command line environments. I've just installed Sarge on a brand new
system and I'm really liking it. I'm still a bit of a NooB when it comes to
desktop related features (configuring X, watching DVDs...)

Anyways... My question relates to internet radio feeds. Some of the stations I
like to listen to over the internet actually offer feeds in formats that aren't
a problem for linux (mp3, ogg) but most stations give you a choice between
Windows Media Player and Real Player. I know that Real has a linux version of
their player, but I'd rather not install it. Real player for windows always
seems like total spyware, and it's totaly anoying with all ads  popups it puts
up even if it isn't spyware.

Is there a reasonable free/open source solution out there that will let me
listen either of these stream types?

DSL connection has stopped working in Debian.

2001-09-23 Thread Jack Andrews
The setup.

-Debian Woody with DSL connection (eth0) acting as router for
NAT'd LAN (eth1)
-Using dhc-client for DHCP on the DSL line

Everything was working fine until a reboot yesterday.  Now the DSL
connection is busted.

During bootup, when eth0 is brought up, this is the first thing that
appears:

Eth0: Media is unconnected, link down, or incompatible connection.

Now, I've been getting this message during bootup for a while now, but
after a long period of time, the system would continue to boot up and
the network connection would work normally.  Not now, though.
After a long timeout period, dhc-client prints out a lot of DHCP
information that makes it look like it contacted the DHCP server correctly,
but with a Reason=TIMEOUT line at the end that I haven't seen before.

Once the box finished booting, Eth0 is listed as not being up.  If I bring it
up, I'm told that it's already up.  If I ifdown it, then ifup it again, there's
another Media is unconnected error and a return to a prompt, but the
interface is listed as up after that.  In the system log after I do that, I can
see that dhc-client has gone through the DISCOVER, OFFER, REQUEST,
ACK process, complete with a Bound to 216.63.xyz.xyz message.

At this point, I can ping the IP of the DHCP server, and it works.  I can
ping random IPs on the same subnet (probably other DSL customers),
and it works.  But I can't ping the gateway address (216.63.148.0) or
anything outside the subnet.   I can't ping the nameservers, because they're
on a different subnet.  Pinging anything outside the subnet yields
Network Unreachable.  Pinging the ISP's router yields no replies.

The route command shows this:

216.63.148.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

I'm wondering if maybe the ISP's router (216.63.148.0) is just down, but
this problem has persisted after nearly 14 hours, so I'd think they'd have
noticed by now.   Or it's possible that the router just ignores pings, and the
problem is on my end.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions here.  This Debian box is a web
server and mail server and is considered mission critical (yeah, I know
it's dumb to trust a DSL line for anything important, but times are
tough), and I'll have some unhappy users to deal with if I can't get this
worked out.  Thanks a lot!

 simply resets back to the login screen. I've tried everything I can
 think of, to no avail. Any suggestions?

I have played around more and got a few more files, i have come to the 
conclusion that it is a PPP problem from this:

Re: XFree 4 and TNT2

2001-02-13 Thread Craig Andrews



After my upgrade to testing, I noticed that I'm still using 
xserver-svga (3.3.6-31), so xinit start up saying: XFree86 Version 
3.3.6 / X Window System Release Date: January 8 2000 The X symlink 
is /usr/X11R6/bin is wrong. If you do `ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X`, you should 
find it is linked to XF86_SVGA. The executable for XF864.0 is 'XFree86', locate 
this, and symlink it to /usr/X11R6/bin/X, and you should be away.

I am the proud.. sorry, sad owner of a Riva TNT2 M64. These do 
NOT work with the Nvidia XF86 4.0 GL drivers. The system will hang (not just X, 
the whole shebang), so I ended up reverting to XFree 3.3.6 until such times as I 
get round to getting a better card.

BTW, this is my first post since subscribing, so HELLO
