GSOC 2016 : Week 1 23/05/2016 - 29/05/2016
23rd: Day 1
-
Got a new hard disk and made a secondary backup before changing from
Ubuntu to Jessie.
-
Tried to fix the error at the end of task 1 by finding a Jessie
back-port source and checking Ubuntu sources but no avail, can't find a
similar package.
24th: Day 2
-
Downloaded Jessie iso and made a live USB.
-
Installed Jessie, software install failed had to re-do it.
25th: Day 3
-
Fixed dual boot grub and a few basic package installations
-
Worked on task 1 again. Rebooted system after failed software update
(unexpected power outage for a few minutes during update) to find the
dreaded blue screen. :(.
- Tried debugging the problem on command line from suggestions in Debian
forum. Likely cause : failed update of gnome3 or nvdia drives. Can't seem
to find a problem with either. Going to reinstall, again
26th: Day 4
-
Serious problem with Debian installation. Think the iso file is
corrupted.
-
After installation, trying to install firefox and a few multimedia
plugins is going very badly, twice
-
Dealing with the ‘Light blue screen of doom’, nothing helps
-
Kernel IP routing table has been wiped! (How? No idea.. )
-
Fedora still working, no problem, so tried to free the space by Debian
for reinstallation, but nope, tmp will get corrupted.
27th: Day 5
-
Tried installation again with another mirror. Nope, still no Gnome login
screen.
-
Booted a backup fedora and downloaded the Debian image all over again
and made the usb live again.

Installation with new image. YES! SUCCESS!
