I do not have any other interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, besides lo. Thanks for the tip about systemctl -l status network-manager. There is a difference. I ran systemctl -l status network-manager on two boots. In both cases, the USB dongle was already plugged in and was not touched. The

Hello, I have a "Debian testing" system installed with Mate. It has network-manager 1.22.8-1. My network adapter is an Asus USB dongle based on rtl8814au, I compiled and installed a kernel module for it and the network works great, once it gets going. My problem is, when I boot the system and it

Hi, I need some ideas for getting Debian 10.3 to install and boot. I think I'm very close, just missing something. I'm on an x64 system. What I need to do is to use one live USB to install to a blank USB, and then have the second USB boot into Debian. I am blind, which means without speech I

Thanks Reco. The concept I missed is, I need to grab the initrd and kernel from the installed system, specifically from the /boot directory. I know that now for all future architectures I mess with! There are lots of ways to do the same thing, I'm just sharing. To mount a partition inside raw

Hi, I'm having trouble bootting Debian 9.4 on a QEMU-emulated MIPS malta virtual machine. I know QEMU introduces some complexity, but I think my problem is more of a misunderstanding of Linux boot concepts. I've tried different permutations, and reading, but am stuck. I installed Debian inside a

Hi, I'm playing with Debian 9.4 stretch on other architectures via the QEMU emulator (eventually for security research.) I can't figure out how to handle the numerical software selection menu in the _text_ installer. I managed to install Debian x86 inside QEMU, using the newt installer. However,
