Strange problem after upgrading from Buster to testing.

2020-10-25 Thread matthew dyer
Hi all,

I am wondering if this should be sent to the Debian accessibility list, but any 
way, I am in the prosses of installing Debian buster, but wanted to upgrade to 
testing.  I have a very strange problem happens where the system will not boot, 
so tried to install the bulzie testing with the latest alfa image which has 
worked fine in the past, but now it will not boot from usb.  I do not have 
sited help  so not sure what has changed.  I am installing on an hp notebook 
with the nonfree firmware image.  I am wondering if there is a change 
somewhere.  Buster works fine.  Thanks all.

Update on my update problem with gnome system.

2018-05-19 Thread Matthew Dyer

Mornning all,


A few days ago I reported a  problem whare the gnome testing system 
which I am now using to write this message.  Here is the resault.



I did a clean install of the system using the alfa testing image.  I 
then edited the sources list and changed the lines from buster to 
testing.  I then did a sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade which 
installed the securety updates it found yesterday.  his morning I did 
the same command and here is the output from that update.

Any ideas on why this is happens?  If any one has any ideas on how to 
fix this without having to reinstall.
