rc2 feedback (ostrolek)

If you tell us how you put the ISO image on the USB stick that was used to launch the installer program then we can narrow down the source of this bug.

There is no bunsenlabs bug.

The BLRC2 was installed to the usb stick from another usb stick with the live iso burned to it and through the Debian installer in the BLRC2. I shouldn't have given the feed back at all. I don't see any terrible bug in this, the internet is full of this problem. I found the answer to it, used that fix, and now have sudo together with su.

I installed this just a few days ago for the first time on a usb stick, while HoaS had done that some 2 years ago. (He mentioned that here, https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 03#p20203) I had a problem, and I found the fix. Only, I shouldn't have given the feed back. I am retiring that usb stick.

Seems user ostrolek is beratungsresistent (german sorry, don't know the english word). Please can a mod rename this thread to "trolling the community" and move it to TGN.

How *exactly* did you "burn" the ISO image to it?

Which command(s) or programs did you use?

nobody0 · 2016-02-27 20:00:31

dd if=bl-Hydrogen-rc2-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-02-27 20:05:27

Yeah, you didn't flush the buffers so perhaps the entire ISO image was not written and a failure occurred somewhere.

For future reference, use:

dd if=bl.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4096 conv=sync

See https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb (this is linked from the "Installation" section of the BunsenLabs homepage by the way).

At any rate, this bug cannot be reproduced so I'm going to have to consider it [closed] unless any of the rest of the team have anything to add.

^ Although the Debian wiki says to use

dd if=<file> of=<device> bs=4M; sync

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-02-27 20:10:21

^ The two are equivalent but personally I would advise adding the `sync` within the `dd` command because of our reliance on `sudo` rather than `su` -- the `sync` command after the ";" would be run without root permissions if the initial `dd` command was run under `sudo` and I'm not sure if those permissions would allow the buffers to be written to the stick.

nobody0 · 2016-02-27 20:22:44

^ I've been using this dd if=<file> of=<device> command since 2009. Some times I add bs=4M and sync, but most times I don't. Whatever happened to the usb stick is not a big deal, so consider this as closed. Only, remember I never started this thread. Just gave a feed back.

Thank you, it is very much appreciated!

`sync` is essential when writing to anything slow like Flash media. Not using it when writing to Flash with `dd` is akin to installing Debian packages in a Debian system by unpacking them and manually copying the files (also a bad idea).

OK bye. Thanks for the feedback.

Marking this [CLOSED].
