It looks as though you have two choices. Either: . Boot with the installation flash drive, where the kbd/mouse work, and use it as your rescue system to effect the repair as outlined in the reference above. Or: . Boot with the installation flash drive and repeat the installation. Before it terminates, effect the repair as outlined above, but with one important change: Repair the file /target/lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules rather than the file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules because /target is where your new installation is being built. "Before it terminates"—when is a good time? With expert non-graphical installation, there are several opportunities: - Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk - Finish the installation (clock setting) - Finish the installation (remove installation media) There may be fewer occasions when using non-expert/other methods. At the chosen opportune time, type Alt-F2 and press Return to get a shell. Effect the repair. Type Alt-F1 (or Alt-←) to return to the installation screen. Cheers, David.

I'm hesitant to give you specific Grub commands off the cuff, but if you type e at the first item in the list, you can experiment with video modes that might work. Any changes you make in this way only apply to this boot, so it's a safe way to experiment.

Debian 10.4 blank screen After new install
Hello All, I am an old Nube trying to get set up to use a Beaglebone on some projects. I thought I had a successful install after a list of tasks was displayed down the screen's left hand edge. The list went blank and left a - in the upper left corner. This curser soon disappeared leaving a blank screen. The mouse cursed did show up but was a bit erratic. I rebooted several times and ended back at the same place. This is on a win10 Dell and I can not get back to win10 because I did not get the dual boot setup. Thanks for any advice. Mick

Those will account for most of the upgrades you are seeing now. Assuming you've been updating regularly, most or all of the updates in the section "Security Updates" will not apply. 1: https://www.debian.org/News/2020/20200509

Hello, I am not sure of it but perhaps this is linked to the absence of proposed-updates in your sources.list: https://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates
Why do I have so many packages to upgrade with Debian 10.4?
Hi, My /etc/apt/sources.list contains links to buster, buster/updates, buster-updates and buster-backports repositories. I run apt update / apt upgrade very frequently. As you may know, Debian 10.4 was out yesterday. Now, apt list --upgradable shows me 90+ packages to be upgraded. I thought there would be a lot less to upgrade because I would have upgraded the most part already thanks to my repositories (especially buster/updates and buster-updates). Maybe it's the case because I don't know the total number of upgrades provided with 10.4 but I still don't understand why I have so many ones. Could someone explain that to me please? Thank you in advance :) Best regards, l0f4r0
