This is not a chat channel, this is a Debian user support channel. Unless you have a Debian support question, please chat elsewhere, like #moocows on irc.oftc.net or ##chat on irc.freenode.net.
davin 2017-01-31 20:52:05

davin 2017-01-31 20:54:48
???
oo_miguel 2017-01-31 20:58:08
I answered you via a private message (since you did not join debian-offtopic as requested to)
davin 2017-01-31 20:58:46

davin 2017-01-31 20:59:00

I was fighting with cups last night. Up until 2am going "This is 2017 why am I even trying to configure this" TUrns out my troubles were twofold. First, cups wasn't even installed, and secondly, I had a dodgy usb cable.

Does anyone here have a spare flash drive and a spare laptop?
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:11:49
For some reason, I can't make a writable Debian install flash drive anymore... using this howto: http://hyper.to/blog/link/debian-installer-on-a-usb-key/
joze 2017-01-31 21:15:11
dgriffi: You can copy the installer iso with cp debiancd.ist /dev/sdX and it should boot.
joze 2017-01-31 21:15:17
*iso
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:15:46
joze: I know how to make a bootable flash drive that way. The problem is the resulting flash drive is write-only.
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:16:07
joze: by following the directions I posted, I used to be able to make a bootable installer flash drive that I could write to.
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:16:53
joze: the upshot of that is so I can use a preseed file, include non-free firmware packages, and assorted other stuff I want to have when doing a fresh install
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:18:06
it worked [ Wrote 35 lines ]

dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:18:14
sorry
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:19:06
it worked until last night. Then it complained about "No filesystem could mount root, tried: "
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:19:26
and "Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(0,0)"
dgriffi 2017-01-31 21:19:49
I'm wondering if I could get someone to follow that howto and tell me how it went
it0 2017-01-31 21:38:36
Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine :)

hi, apt-get update is constantly freezing and showing "Waiting for headers" - how can i fix this?
rmrfchik 2017-01-31 21:43:08
hi. Looking into ext4 direntry on disk, I see inode number like this "ED 03 9C 01", i know block size (4096), blocks per group (32768) and inodes per group (32768). is there way to find _disk_ offset of this inode?
malacozoan 2017-01-31 21:45:11
brutser: Try anothe rmirror, have a look at netselect-apt
