then open a terminal in your downloads directory and (assuming sudo is set up) run
Code: Select all
unzip bootinfoscript-master.zip
cd bootinfoscript-master/
sudo ./bootinfoscript
Code: Select all
Finished. The results are in the file "RESULTS.txt"
located in "/home/<username>/Downloads/bootinfoscript-master/".
The RESULTS.txt file can then be uploaded to forum as attachment.

There is a Debian package called boot-info-script which you can install but curiously I found it less easy to use as it puts the script in /usr/sbin/ which , when run, results in a RESULTS.txt file owned by root in /root/ directory unless output destination is specified.
This is possibly the simplest way to use it:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install boot-info-script
sudo bootinfoscript /home/<username>/RESULTS.txt
Code: Select all
cd /home/<username>/
sudo chown <username> ./RESULTS.txt
Of course in all cases substitute <username> with your actual username.
Note I used sudo in this example but you can use su - instead.

Files can alternatively be uploaded to Debian Pastezone with pastebinit but they expire in one week by default so less useful in the forum.
You could instead upload manually to https://paste.debian.net/ or http://pastebin.com/ where you can set custom expiry times.
