Trouble installing

antsunrise · 2016-09-01 20:29:44

Okay , ISO mounted on USb as normal. But I do not use a CD-Rom and I have 2 HD's on my laptop. But it wont let me go past the CD-Rom mount detecting. Any ideas? I used #! some years back but I also had a CD-ROM back then.

thanks

Don't use unetbootin, it is a prehistoric POS.

Also, why not read the instructions?

After downloading the ISO file from one of the sources below, you may find help with burning the file to disk or writing to a USB key in the Debian FAQ section:
How to write an ISO image under Linux/Unix, Windows or Mac OS X?
How do I write a CD/DVD/BD image to a USB flash drive?

I used rufus. I know how to burn an ISO I'm just saying th einstaller was asking for cd-rom to mount and I don't use a cd-rom. i'll look more into it.

Oh I also remember use from long ago on #! forums. Glad to see all is well

Try USBWriter instead if you're using Windows.

I think some options in Rufus try to modify the image (just like unetbootin) and this causes the CD-ROM error.

EDIT: link corrected.

Okay will do. I'll let ya know

antsunrise · 2016-09-01 21:30:36

Alrighty up and running with dual boot. It didn't do the force mount to cd-rom using that .:) Brings back old memories. thanks for USB link. Never had issue with rufus but I guess something was different

It's my understanding that when installing from the iso, because B.L uses a hybrid image (giving it flexibility to boot from a cd OR a usb.) but those type of tools aren't made to make use of the isohybrid type. If I'm wrong on that, please correct guys.

This is not available in Debian stable, version 3.16 (patched) is as new as it will ever get for jessie & BL_H

The backported kernel version is *not* what Debian would consider to be "stable" and has the potential to introduce new bugs and vulnerabilities into the system.

Unless you have a specific problem with the stock jessie kernel, I *do not* recommend switching to the backported kernel.

See https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian … f_Syndrome

On newer kernel fine. 3.16 is a bit old for my liking. Also I keep getting an error when trying to install gdebi..says a new package name but doesn't say what. Any idea on new name ? Other than that all is well. I used to do netinstal but too lazy for barebones stuff lately which is why I chose this distro

Please post the error...

The package is called "gdebi" in all repos (but isn't in experimental).

As well as output of your /etc/apt/sources.list file perhaps?

All (active) sources will be listed in `apt-cache policy` so that won't be needed

How about:

apt-cache policy gdebi
