network mirror error.

connelblaze · 2016-01-07 14:21:13

Good day y'all. I was using crunchbang with windows then i found out that it has changed to bunsenlabs and comes with Debian 8. Tried installing it but it just wouldn't work. Had issues with network configuration, skipped that and then had problems with network mirror. Selected different zones etc. So now, I have a minimal OS and need to make sure everything is working before Monday. Can anybody help me out?

Hello and welcome

Do you have an internet connection now?

What do you mean by "minimal OS"?

Do you have a graphical desktop?

What is your hardware?

Please post the output of:

lspci -knn|grep -iA2 net
ip l

When i couldn't get the network mirror to work, I skipped it and a message displayed on the screen that i will end up with a minimal system etc.

MOD EDIT: Please use [ code ] tags for terminal output

Please provide a link to the exact URL from which you downloaded the BunsenLabs ISO image.

The BL installer does not require an internet connection to install the system as all the packages are already present on the ISO image.

Have you used a Debian jessie netinstall ISO image?

I don't really understand why the connection didn't function, your wireless card is well supported under Debian.

Please provide more detail about these "problems with the network mirror"

Good day. Sorry, I use wifi and i'm not home yet so no network for now. minimal system(OS) was the message displayed on the screen when the network mirror didn't work and i skipped it. I have a graphical desktop. My vlc worked for some days then started playing without sound. I downloaded it(bl-Hydrogen-rc1-amd64.iso file) from bunsenlabs website(https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation.html#live-cddvdusb-key-method). It has really slowed me down badly. Wish it didn't give me all this stress like crunchbang was so easy. Be glad if you could help.

Did you test the iso checksum (instructions at the bottom of the Installation page)?

Does your wireless connection work in a Live session?

An account of the issues would be helpful

As this is the only thing you have explicitly stated as a problem, I will answer this point.

You probably pressed the mute key on your keyboard and there is a problem with the volume notifier that keeps the volume muted even if the mute key is toggled.

To get your sound back, open a terminal and run `alsamixer` then press "m" and the <Escape> key.

If you want help with any other problems, you will have to tell us exactly what those problems are.

good day. Ok i'm in trouble now. I did dual boot of windows 7 and bunsenlabs. Ma brother, don't know what he was doing, deleted my bunsenlabs partition from windows, now it enter error file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. Grub rescue. Tried repairing windows using a disc but still doesn't work. Tried installing bunsenlabs again. It stops at installing system.

You need to open another thread for this help request, with a descriptive title. This is nothing to do with network mirrors....

connelblaze · 2016-01-23 07:07:58

DO i need an internet to install bunsenlabs?

No, the ISO image contains all the software you need.

However, if you don't have an internet connection during the installation then there will be no mirrors listed in your sources and you will not be able to install new packages from the internet unless you add some mirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list

connelblaze · 2016-01-25 17:13:13

Great that's it. I need internet. Any video on how to install it?

You need to help us and yourself here, with some information....

So what stage have you got to? Have you installed BL without a connection? Have you edited your `/etc/apt/sources.list`?

Did you look at Information to provide in case of wireless problems, if it is relevant?
