I stand corrected. Thanks, Aki

There is no debian-security or unstable-updates repository for Unstable. This is all you need in sources.list for Unstable: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware # deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware I co...

What I see in the screenshot are all recommended packages and can be ignored or installed, whichever you prefer.

Usernames must conform to IEEE 1003.1-2001; legal characters are letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs (@) and dashes but the username may not *start* with a dash.

There used to be an issue with systemd and periods in usernames but that has been resolved.

Hope this helps -

You know, I think we just discovered an aptitude thing that everybody should know - that sudo aptitude search ~o above tells you which packages aptitude is calling obsolete because they're not available in mapped repoitories. Check out mine - quite a few of these are manually installed debs wizard@w...

Moved to Off-Topic because this is not a Debian question.

You could useNote that's ~o, not -o. That'll give you a list of packages you have installed that are not currently available in repositories. I'd check those

Yeah, I've seen that on my machines also.

Do you have any non-Debian packages installed on the machine? Maybe something like that is causing issues.

I'm not sure what's going on there then - none of the four Sid installations I have here are doing this. It's clear you've got a package installed that apt doesn't like; one thing you can do is install aptitude and let it do its thing - aptitude will offer solutions that apt doesn't. It should ident...

Try apt full-upgrade and if the upgrade still doesn't look safe we'll need to look at non-Debian repositories you have enabled - they may be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

But - if full-upgrade doesn't look safe don't upgrade!

Moved to Testing and Unstable.

...if I care about the outcome of the prior command I run the follow-on command separately. I'm sure you already know this stuff so this is more for our studio audience but the reason I use the double ampersand thing is that if program 1 crashes (or exits with a nonzero exit code) bash won't attemp...

I'm locking this thread. If you have an issue with the way this forum is moderated take it up privately with a forum admin.

I find that hard to believe considering the purpose of the double ampersand. The double ampersand will not execute a second command unless the first command exited successfully.

made a gpt partition table on the usb /dev/sda -> formatted to fat32 sudo dd if=debian-live-11.9.0-amd64-xfce.iso of=/dev/sda bs=2M oflag=direct status=progress; sync You do realize that your dd command overwrote the GPT partition you created, right? Also, that semicolon in the dd command needs to ...

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet but the one I use is SystemRescue.

Here's a list of tools that come installed on the .iso - https://www.system-rescue.org/System-tools/

I migrated my Debian media server from an i7-10700 to a Beelink Mini S12 Pro, N100 processor, Intel QuickSync video, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. It's an SBC in a small case with room for one 2.5" drive in addition to the SSD. $169 - might be worth checking out. I think you could take the board out of ...

Moved to Off-Topic.

IPv6 is disabled on all four machines. I think "any" still should have fallen back to IPv4. I did just add that info to the bug report.

Nah. If I was gonna use an LTS release I'd stick with Debian.
