Ahh. The drive was running out of space. I deleted Ubuntu and updated Grub. Now Debian runs fine and Ubuntu can wait.

The disk was running out of space so I pruned some folders done and it works fine now.

I tried all three recommendations without success. I also tried the boot-repair program without success.

I wonder if it has anything to do with my Nvidia gpu.

Hi All, I had a working install of Debian that I have been using for months. Today, I installed Ubuntu alongside it in a dual boot setup. Now, when I boot the computer, it gives me the option to boot to Ubuntu or Debian. If I choose Ubuntu, it boots to Ubuntu just fine. If I choose Debian, it boots ...

Hi All, I have recently upgraded to Buster. I lost all GUIs. I only have the command line. My kids are not happy. I tried both Debian and NVIDIA solutions to no avail. I think I need someone to help me figure this thing out "step-by-step". Please help. What logs/config files do you need? c...

Ok. I think I am on to something. I removed every Nvidia driver in aptitude. I was then able to install nvidia-detect.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-detect I do not have a GUI. That is the overarching problem that I am trying to solve. I upgraded to Buster and now all I have is the command line. I think it has something to do with my Nvidia graphics card since I had the same problem when I upgraded to Stretch a few ye...

Hi All, While trying to install nvidia-detect, I keep getting the following message: Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-390xx I am not sure what to do. I have tried to install them and I have tried to uninstall them. I am not sure wha...

That sounds like something that might be done with a Raspberry Pi since you can connect i/o pins. You might be able to have a pin directed to the Pi, read on the Pi, and then output from the Pi on a different pin connected to the final destination. I am not sure if that will mess up timings though. ...

Hi All, I upgraded to Buster and now my NVIDIA card is not working. I tried to install the Debian way and also tried using the download from the NVIDIA website but neither worked for me. I am not sure what I did but I am sure I probably messed something up. I think I need to start from scratch. Wher...

Should the motherboard be able to read an unformatted SSD right out of the box? If so, then I think I have a motherboard issue. That turned out to be the case. I was thinking about this: There is some other things you can try as well:""Can my computer support an SSD? updated 01/11/2011&qu...

That could be helpful to know in the event that someone is in the market for a new SSD.

Hello All, I have a fresh install of Stretch on the HDD. I have the SSD installed on the motherboard. Neither Linux nor BIOS is showing the SSD. Should the motherboard be able to read an unformatted SSD right out of the box? If so, then I think I have a motherboard issue. Am I supposed to do somethi...

I am going that route. My system was becoming too frankenized anyway.

kopper wrote:Someone might ask what did you install and why would you let aptitude remove those packages without checking what was going to be removed?

Because I am a noob.

Hello All, I recently upgraded to Debian Stretch and all went good for about a week. Then, I installed a package using Aptitude from the Stretch repository. Aptitude deleted what looked like dozens, if not hundreds of packages. Now I have no Gnome, Cinnamon, XFCE etc. I tried to open Aptitude to rei...
