I see, you have a point, your use case is different and you need the most stable system that just runs. By the way I just made a fresh install with BTRFS. Again I am never after the “latest”, else I would have remained on a rolling release. I care about a stable system generally. I just “missed” the...

Try it out if you want to, I like to try everything out personally I found btrfs counterproductive for me (a waste of time) like constantly being bothered with prompts and updates, but it's interesting if you do take advantage of it, to for example, manage 20 operating systems at the same time on o...

I tried to install TimeShift just to backup my system, but though I installed from Discover, clciking it does nothing. Absolutely nothing! I find it interesting that Timeshift does not work on your system. personally I don't want or use such tools, but I did install it on my Debian Mate (stable) sy...

Jus another question.
While I used it on EndeavourOS I managed Snapper with BTRFS Assistant. Is it available under Debian or any others similar front end?
UPDATE: I found BTRFS Assistant at https://software.opensuse.org/download/ ... DesmI:more

See if you can achieve your goal without the internet involved as a third-party... in other words, find a book on using linux, and learn how to make a system backup from a book, instead of allowing the internet to lead you to solutions. Well, I have tried it before when I was on EndeavourOS and it ...

.... But you have to ask yourself: What is it you are actually trying to achieve? What's the best way for you to get to that goal? ..... and the basic rule of thumb, is to stick with the tried and true methods, that have received lots of testing, and successful usage, and avoid the flashy advertisi...

Hi guys I just installed from "debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" I tried to install TimeShift just to backup my system, but though I installed from Discover, clciking it does nothing. Absolutely nothing! It has been a few days anyway I was thinking of converting my system to BTRFS so I can sn...

Never been happier. Thank you @Aki

Parallel thread on MX Forum , now marked Solved. @pbear: thanks for reporting. @limotux: posting the same topic to multiple forums at the same time is a waste of human resources. Please avoid doing this in the future. Please accept my apology. Maybe I was mistaken, I just thought that MX is based o...

Hello, Virtual machines boot till the login screen but nothing happens after that. Just a blank screen and does not log in to KDE What do you mean for "login screen" ? Yesterday Debian released a security update of the kernel for Debian Bookworm. I successfully installed it in my Debian B...

Does the Debian server (used as a VM host) boot/work correctly?

Are only the guest VMs affected (you can't boot them)?

I guess so. Virtual machines boot till the login screen but nothing happens after that. Just a blank screen and does not log in to KDE

Anything wrong with Debian/MX Linux updates recently? I had VirtualBox running OK with MX Linux virtual machine installed and running perfectly. a few hours ago, it gone bananas. I deleted the virtual machines, installed new virtual machines. Still bananas. Not booting if I change to systemd! Even D...

Virtualization was disabled in BIOS My apologies for not mentioning that earlier. In hindsight, any how-to should probably start with this detail. I wouldn't know if laptops default to disabled and why that would be. Workstation/server (Xeon) motherboards are default enabled as far as I know. No ne...

Well I guess I knew why nothing worked. I did some search and reading your posts here, Virtualization was disabled in BIOS I enabled it in BIOS, But I have already installed MX Linux (switched to systemd init) to be as Debian as possible. Installed virtualbox and it went smooth. Thanks guys I have l...

Well! Here is my final findings and results I found and happened with me. - Installing a virtual Debian Machine always failed to boot unfortunately. - I downloaded MX Linux iso booted, installed, and booted the virtual machine which worked seamlessly. Not a single issue. - Everything was really slow...

Thanks CwF Creating another machine. - selected generic - I found default RAM 4096GB, so I went with it - Install screen OK Still same black screen. Will update you as before. Update: This is the only boot from option. /var/lib/libvirt/images/linux2022.qcow2 In virtual machine details I checked the ...

Thanks CwF The black screen comes after installation finishes, the last line I could read was saying something like "Booting from Hard Disk" but it never boots. Even if I force shutdown and start again.. it doesn't boot. Maybe not finding where to boot from or perhaps trying to boot from t...

Thanks CwF I just thought that me not knowing what is the domain name was so stupid of me! It is simply just the name of the machine. I deleted the machine, created a new one and put the domain name as "HP" which is my laptop. Still the same black screen! I wonder why it can't boot after i...

Thanks CwF Tried to install, selecting the first option to install from iso file I got a message that I did not select the OS, though the field to slect tho OS was not available (clicking it does nothing. Now will try the last option "Manual install" - out of my 8GB RAM I selected 4GB - Ac...

Thanks CwF I just did sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get full-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove --purge -y just to be sure, then apt install virt-manager qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils libvirt-daemon...
