that reformat "feature" is hateful. I fail to see any advantage. It does break the other systems, but they can be recovered by editing you fstab file with the New UUID as you know. I use the Manual mode... _auto installers never seem to get it right_ (my way). *Using Manual, select existing

Debian Graphical Installer: why does it format swap?

Hello all, Longer version of the question : – Why does the Debian Graphical installer compromise any other Linux install on the same HDD/SSD by reformatting swap. I doubt that it affects Windows since it does not use swap (I do not have any Windows installed so cannot test). I used debian-10.2.0

IIRC, I've had to select the card (F6) in alsamixer and unmute its Master channel (m command). It's maddening at first when the default channel in alsamixer and pavucontrol are not muted. Once this is done everything has worked well and I've been using pulseaudio for a number of years. - Nate -
