#240490 — Problem installing

Hi, guys,

I have a problem installing Debian Sid on the VittualBox machine, running on
Gentoo Host.

(I need Debian, because the project I'm working with use Debian Sid,
and my test is failing).

Unfortunately, trying to install it with mini.iso produces an error
when trying to
configure the Package Manager.

Is it a known problem? How to find out what the problem is? How do I fix it?

I don't have too much experience with the automatic installer - at
home I use Gentoo,
and at work RHEL{7}.

Thank you in advance.

The error message's text would be useful here.

The Configuration Manager has failed. You can try and re-run it or you
can skip it and continue

Something to that extent.

If I continue - will I be able to do it after the install?

If yes - how?

Maybe this way I will get an actual error and not the installer
message box.. ;-)

Thank you.

Sorry. I have no idea. I can't guess in which state your
installation process is: is this message actually coming
from the Debian installer? Is this message coming from
VirtualBox?

> Maybe this way I will get an actual error and not the installer
> message box.. ;-)

Since you have not much to lose (except some time), perhaps it
is a good idea.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you could describe in a more
detailed way what your steps are, at which point the problem
arises and the exact error message.

I can't guarantee to be able to help, but perhaps someone
will have an idea here.

Good luck

It is coming fro the installer and not from the VB.
And it is still doing the install at that point.

.
Very simple and straightforward process:
1. Downloaded mini.iso.
2. Created a VM with 4G of RAM and 500G HDD.
3. Started the install
4. In the first menu selected "Advanced Options", then "Expert Install"
5. Follow thru the {install} menu. On the "Choosing a mirror..." ,
selected "sid - unstable"
6. Got an error about "The installation media do not seem to contain a
valid Release file, or that file
could not be read correctly". I presume that this is OK, since
mini.iso contains only a boot image
and not really a full blown install.
7. Next got following error:
"Installation step failed."

I used the last bullet at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#Installation.

Is it wrong?

I wouldn't use the word "wrong" for following wiki advice, but I repeat
my suggestion. You have nothing to lose.

I've just tried to repeat what you did and got a screen that I didn't 
understand.  I'm planning a fresh install shortly and figured this could 
be as easy a way as any.  Debian worked nicely in vbox - at least in 
testing which is what I want in the end.

Suggest you try a 'standard' install - just accept the first option 
'install'

I generally leave root passwd blank during the install, and set it with
sudo passwd
when you first log in. You may want it soone than you think, if 
something goes wrong. This will set up sudo during the install, rather 
htan having to install and set-up the app.


When you get the tasksel screen  unselect the desktop items and proceed 
with only the last item, 'standard system utilities'.  This will save 
downloading the desktop and other apps 2 or three times.

After you reboot, and log in, edit the repositories
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Change in the first 2 lines bullseye to testing, then # out the 
remaining active lines.

run sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

This will install about 150 new programs

Reboot.
change testing to sid in /etc/apt/sources.list

run sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
again

reboot and run
sudo tasksel

select Debian desktop environment and the desktop/s you prefer. Web 
server and/or ssh server as you wish

Reboot and you should get the desktop login screen you chose


It'll  be 12 hours before I see your results. It's 21:15 here

Install Stable and then change to Sid. Overall process will probably
take less than 5 minutes longer.

It probably will be simpler, but the method described in the link I
posted in reply
to Brian should work nevertheless.

Thank you.

It should work, and probably it will soon, but at the moment
Sid/Unstable has received a tonne of updates due to recent Bullseye
release. Things will remain broken or unstable until enough people
report it to Debian devs and/or new, fixed releases of software will
land in Sid.
Hence my suggestion to use Stable -> Unstable, that way you avoid broken
Unstable Installer.

UNderstood.
Will try to do just that.

Is the instructions in the link I posted to convert (bullet 1)
a good one?

(Sorry for the top posting).

Thank you.

I am sorry I don't know which link do you mean.

If you have the exact text, you can then search on it.

If the installation completes, installation logs are
at /var/log/installer. What you want is probably toward the end of
syslog.

If the installation does not complete, open a console (CTL-ALT-F2), and
use the command line to copy them to someplace you can get at them.
They are at /var/log. CTL-ALT-F1 to get back to the menu.

Does anybody read signatures any more?

OK, looking at syslog I see:

[code]
chroot: can't execute tempfile: No such file or directory
WARNING: Configuring 'apt-setup-udeb' failed with error code 127.
WARNING: Menu item 'apt-setup-udeb' failed.
INFO: Failing back to the package description for britty-udeb
[/code]

Any ideas?

This is installing Debian/Sid on a VM.

Thank you.

You're using something post-stable.

Yeah, that would do it.

Whoever wrote whichever script is producing that error, needs to change
that script to use a different program than tempfile(1).  Which is no
longer available after bullseye.

So what do I do?
Should I continue the install and configure the repository afterwards?

If yes - how?

As said - I'm new to Debian...

Thank you.
