I've already downgraded my kernel back to the Linux-Libre LTS but it was a
slightly annoying way to start off my day.
The text message on the screen said some weird errors about mdadm and not
being able to create groups.
Anyway, has anyone else had this glitch? I really don't need to
I need it to run pbuilder as nonroot.
I noticed that many of the recommended packages depend on Universe packages.
Presumably, the distinction between Universe and Main is an artifact of
Ubuntu or not as clear as should be simply because the work to do that hasn't
been put in yet (which is fine, there's only so much a limited
Simply, run the command chmod -R g-rwx,o-rwx /root as root. Of course, I few
minutes later I booted back up in with a recovery USB stick and set the
permissions back to normal but now I'm curious why would this brick my
system?

The reason why I am asking is because the old style debug packages are hacky
and bad. For example, the package libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg does not provide
debugging symbols for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so
The system should really install the bootloader before installing software
after minimal so that a basic level of functionality is there in case of an
accident.
So I didn't restart the installer but I did everything manually.
Simply, mount the hard drive you have Linux on.
mount /dev/sdfoo /mnt
Mount special directories
mount /dev /mnt/dev
mount /proc /mnt/proc
mount /sys /mnt/sys
Chroot into the mount
chroot /mnt
Install grub
apt-get install
So I tried the unreleased 7.01 version and it works.
Yeah, my machine has 4GB of space. I suspect the actual reason the kernel
crashed was that I booted the machine in legacy mode and the legacy BIOS code
wasn't tested with Linux so the kernel mapped special hardware memory as
usable memory which caused bad things.
So for other reasons (EFI support is flaky) I need to redo the above stuff
with grub-efi but I also need to install grub-efi first. I need to get some
network stuff running so I can do DNS inside the chroot and apt-get can
resolve the archives.
How do I get the net stuff working as well
Nope, gNewSense does not appear to work either.
For some reason the workaround at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/55
does not work for me. At the prompt I cannot find a device for my USB stick.
The only device found is my harddrive at /dev/sda.
So I finally setup a CD drive and a CD and it doesn't work like it does in
the guy's video. First of all it is not recognized in the Boot Manager menu
in UEFI mode and second of all it fails with the same Unable to find a
medium containing a live file system error in legacy mode.
I can navigate the initial menus of the installer but when I try to go
further the system errors out into single user mode. No real filesystems are
mounted, the only thing there is the initramfs. I have an error saying that
no mountable filesystem could be found. There is no /dev/sdb file
Nevermind.
It seems that legacy boot mode was buggy but that UEFI boot mode with secure
boot disabled was not buggy and works.
So the problem only appears to affect Ubuntu based distros

Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian?
In any case, I guess I can use GNewsense for now.
Isn't Trisquel based on Ubuntu and so shouldn't it have dbgsym packages
somewhere (Ubuntu did this thing where they automated debug symbol package
generation)?
Hello I want to debug a program that I was developing better so I ran
it and checked /proc/${PID}/maps for the libraries it was using.
So far I couldn't find any symbols or debug packages for the following
libraries (apt-cache search udev | grep dbg returns nothing):
