Series of boot up errors

by 3hre »Any omissions of info isn't intentional, do people actually do things intentionally and then come here not giving the info to cause problems? Honest question - no sarcasm intended. Even support forums have trolls?

Ok, and thanks for providing the additional information. Yes, we do get some
that are just plain trolls, others maybe they are not really trying to cause problems, but they seem to think that by not telling us some things, nobody will say "you shouldn't have done that" so to speak. We get a lot that run the helpers in circles, none of the solutions seem to work, and then finally they tell us they are not using Debian, but it is Kali Linux, which is not Debian, and that is why the solutions offered didn't work. Any way, this thread is getting to confusing to me, I think you/we should concentrate on doing what Steve says, and get the firmware you need installed. If you have any problems with that, let us know, and hopefully Steve will help you if he can on that.
I think on the other issue, with Ubuntu showing in your menu at boot time should be addressed (discussed) in another topic. At this point it still is not clear to me, which partition should be formatted or deleted, but any way that would be better if it is in a separate topic. No need to reply, nor full quote this,
let's just concentrate on the firmware for now.

3hre, you need to learn to quote other people's posts properly.
your last posts are very confusing.

this is a proper quote:

[quate]i am debiman and i will never stop.[/quate]

it's case INsensitive. and i had to write "quate" instead of "quote", otherwise it wouldn't show up.

 [quote]that is why we have code boxes [/quote]

that is why we have code boxes

Edit: You indeed have a typo in this file name; can you spot it?

Code: Select all

rtlwifi/rt18821aefw_wowlan.bin

Yes lol rt1

... Kind of like a keyboard version of gremlins. Don't let me type after midnight Double the proof of this issue seeing how I had just previous to that said how it was out of the Debian install so not subject to the terminal font so I don't even have that font to blame lol

Given the time I will wait until the morning to go about to install that firmware

I don't think this was solved.

Easiest way was to append non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek

You can restart your computer. If that doesn't work you can try manually restarting the configuration boot file for networking with (need to be root):

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/networking restart

or just use a Network manager with GUI. Should be a lot easier once you actually have the drivers installed to configure and start it up.
