[Solved] Difficulty finding testing version.

#1 Post by keos »

Hello there,

I always have problems with the installation page of Debian versions, it seems that this time I made another mistake again.
I wanted to install the testing version and it seems that I got something else because it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

root @ kaos: ~ # LANG = C apt-get update

keos@kaos:~$ lsb_release -d

If someone can please tell me where is the ISO of the testing version in Debian, thanks.

I see that you already have the Official Snapshot amd64 DVD. The error is this:
apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
And the solution given:
Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
See the manpage for apt-cdrom
May I ask why you want to abandon the rock of stability and security of stable for the uncharted, choppy waters of testing?
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

Just to add to the above:
apt is trying to update from the amd64 DVD which you have used in preference to the netinstall image.
It looks like you have removed the DVD because apt cannot find it.
So in your sources.list, you would need to comment, i.e., place a # before the second entry so that it looks like this:
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bookworm_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary
Then apt will update only from online repository, not from the installation media.

$ vrms

No, my PC does not have a CD-ROM, so that is why I think I chosed the wrong ISO ...

I have never tried net-install, I have always installed the systems in this way, the only problem is that in Debian it is difficult for me to find the appropriate ISO.

I left the stable version due to too many problem to find packages ... then later I made a mistake and broke the system, and since I can't find any * backup * understandable to me ...

I continue like this, breaking and installing systems until someone, some day, decides to do something like MXLinux-Snapshot or to adapt this GUI for all debian systems.

*Now I realize, right, it is not commented ... I will return later to mark the issue as solved.

Thanks!
