First attempt at installation hung waiting for a network, shouldn't we be able to install an OS offline? The installer couldn't see my intel iwlwifi, so I downloaded the debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-kde+nonfree.iso. This time it was happy, and I pottered around exploring the system, then at shutdown time, the cursor vanishes, the screen goes to a blank blue-grey Debian background, and sits there forever. OK for more than 5 minutes, when I force shutdown holding the power key.
There are unanswered question on this
here and
here. I've looked at
some instructions, but the shutdown/debug script produces no output, and I'm not sure how to boot in debug mode.
Sometimes a few lines of debug log appear on screen, sometimes not.
I've checked the d/l iso with sha256sum, its OK. I made the bootable USB stick with
Code: Select all
dd status=progress bs=1M if=/path/to/debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-kde+nonfree.iso of=/dev/sda
then checked its integrity is OK with
Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/sda bs=4096 count=$(($(stat -c '%s' debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-kde+nonfree.iso) / 4096)) | sha256sum
My system is a Huawei Matebook13, and I've more detail on hardware and messages seen on screen, but this is long enough for a first post...
