  220. <user> hi
  221. * user is now known as Guest1703
  222. <Guest1703> hello
  223. <futurama140> i had heard people mentioning (not outright, only alluding to) debian not working via netbootin, but nobody had actually SAID that before
  224. * Guest1703 has quit ()
  225. <futurama140> somiaj: i dont care about uefi, i just want to install debian on this POS lenovo and have it actually boot
  226. <Heston> why hasn't debian pulled EFI support from ubuntu?
  227. * lpalgarvio has quit ()
  228. <somiaj> Heston: debian has efi support and it works good. Debian just doesn't have live images that support it.
  229. <somiaj> !unetbootin
  230. <dpkg> UNetbootin (Universal Netboot Installer) allows creation of bootable USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions. http://unetbootin.sf.net/ Not recommended for use with Debian CD/DVD images, as it mangles the installer in cruel and unusual ways, resulting in hard to debug problems. Ask me about <hybrid images>, <usb install>, <win32diskimager>.
  231. <futurama140> HOLY SHIT. the stuff is actually **working** this time! Why is it that it has taken me 3 days of googling and posting on unix stackexchangge for someone to finally tell me just to use "CP" and not unetbootin???
  232. <somiaj> futurama140: if you read the installation guide it says this. Also the debian installers are a little bit better than the one on the live image, but if that live image works for you go for it (the only issue I see people have with the live images in some cases grub wont' install properly)
  233. <Heston> somiaj, any idea why?
  234. <Heston> or just not a priority

  236. * gas (~gas@host55-138-dynamic.52-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) has joined #debian
  237. <somiaj> Heston: partly the debian-live team had a split a year (or so) ago and hasn't had enough resources/time to include new efatures in the live build
  238. <somiaj> Heston: Debian just really doesn't have a strong live enviroment. Debian has a lot of thigns going for it, a strong/robust live system isnt' one. Its live system is there, but it is kinda limited compared to other live distros out there.
  239. <Heston> there must be a lot of duplicated efforts between debian and ubuntu for livecds
  240. <somiaj> well when debian started providing live-cd's its goals where different. Debian wanted to provide a system to build live-enviroments (live-build) and then allow users to build custom live enviroments from their collection of packages on debian.
  241. <somiaj> so the focus was to create the build enviroment over just live cds, the the split of the debian-live team, and the project is mostly in matiance mode where new live enviroments are built but I haven't seen many new features added to the live-build
  242. <futurama140> somiaj: i'm using "graphical installer" and just came to an issue: it cant detect and mount cdrom: But i am using USB. I went back to the list of install steps, clicked on detect and mount cdrom, and this time it is working, it finished partitioning and is now installing. do you know what happened?
  243. <somiaj> while ubuntu and other places focused more on using live enviorments to showcase things.
  244. <futurama140> i dont care if i use a live image or not, i just dont know how to install without a GUI interface...
  245. <somiaj> futurama140: that 'cannot detect cdrom' is a common artifact to unetbootin. Mostly this happens because debian live images are already bootable and complete, but unetbootin tries to make them bootable doing its own thing. This thing messes with out the install system is expecting to work.
  246. <futurama140> so in the future i should do a full format of the USB before cp-ing the iso to the USB if i had had a previous unetbootin on the USB?
  247. <Heston> somiaj, ah that sounds really cool
  248. <somiaj> there is very little difference between the text and graphical install in debian-installer, one just uses a mouse to select things, the other's arrow keys.
  249. <somiaj> Heston: in theory, in practice the live system just isnt' as good as other places (unless you want to read though the docs and build your own custom one)
  250. * ol has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
  251. <futurama140> Ok, so i really should just get the regular debian ISO... i need to check to find one that includes non-free with it.
  252. <somiaj> !firmware installer
  253. <dpkg> Debian-Installer is able to load additional <firmware>, by including it within installation media or supplying on removable media (e.g. USB stick, floppy). See http://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch06s04 . To include firmware within Debian <netboot> images, see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware . See also <firmware images>.
  254. <somiaj> !firmware images
  255. <dpkg> Unofficial <netinst> images - containing non-free Debian <firmware> packages - for installing Debian 8 "Jessie" are available from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/ . See also <install guide>.
  256. <futurama140> right, that's where i got the ISO i'm using from
  257. <futurama140> GRUB is finally installing
  258. <somiaj> also when using the live-image to install, it is better to boot it into the installer and install from that (sounds like what you are doing) over boot into the live image and then install from the live iamge
  259. <futurama140> yea, no longer going to use the live image for anything....
  260. <futurama140> i have no purpose for the live image, other than i'm a n00b and thought that would be the easiest way to do it
  261. * chomwitt has quit (Quit: WeeChat 1.0.1)
  262. <futurama140> I'm totally unprepared for debian distros, but having used ubuntu for the last couple years, and then having a friend of mine put debian on this system, i hqave found that debian is vastly more stable than ubuntu
  263. <somiaj> plus the offical installers have uefi support (though debian doens't have secure boot support out of the box...yet)
  264. <somiaj> debian goes through a much longer testing/bugfixing/release cycle and then doesn't change things once its done....side affect, packages don't have all the fancy new features, but this is a common attitude of people who use debian
  265. <somiaj> !sns
  266. <dpkg> Shiny New Shit Syndrome is a serious disorder, which usually breaks out into an epidemic every time something new is released. If you have SNS, ask me about <backports> and <ssb>; these are better options than upgrading to <testing> because it is a <moving target>.
  267. <futurama140> i have a friend who had his windows 10 crash, and is so incredibly paranoid of the data mining that he dropped off his laptop with me and said "put debian on this, i'll be back on friday"
  268. * AlexLikeRock has quit (Quit: Leaving)
  269. <futurama140> this guy hasn't touched a PC since 1999
  270. <futurama140> i cant talk him out of it, but man is it sure stressing me the hell out trying to put the debian on it that i am not qualified to troubleshoot yet
  271. <somiaj> I like to think of it as a learning exerience
  272. <futurama140> ok: the next (and final) problem: I don't know how to set up the wifi on the new system now
  273. <futurama140> it is not being automatically detected
  274. <somiaj> is this with the firmware installer?
  275. <somiaj> is this on jessie? Can you let me know what wifi chipset is being used, 'lspci'
  276. * debhelper sets channel limit to 729
  277. <futurama140> 01:00.0 Qualcomm Atheros Device 0041 (rev 20)

  280. <futurama140> 02:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
  281. <somiaj> actually lspci -nnn, and this is what I need, for exmple here is my output (I dont have wifi on this machine) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 09), I want the pciid, whcih is the [10ec:8168] part
  282. <somiaj> seems you ahve the same lan as I do
  283. <futurama140> 168c:0041
  284. <somiaj> ,pciid 168c:0041
  285. <judd> [168c:0041] is 'QCA6164 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter' from 'Qualcomm Atheros' with no known kernel module in jessie or in sid. See also http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.rhtmlx?check=1&lspci=168c:0041
  286. <futurama140> the RJ-45 port in the back is physically destroyed
  287. <futurama140> does that mean there is no way to use the wifi on that system then?
  288. <somiaj> no
  289. <somiaj> this is newer hardawre right?
  290. <futurama140> i believe it was purchased 2 years ago
  291. <futurama140> lenovo g50-45
  292. <futurama140> cheapest thing walmart sold, he tells me
  293. <somiaj> I can't find confirmation that this will work, but it most likely requires a newer kernel
  294. <somiaj> !bpo kernel
  295. <dpkg> Newer kernels for Debian stable releases are available from the "jessie-backports" repository. Ask me about <jessie backports> to modify your sources.list, then run «aptitude update». To install the current backported kernel: «aptitude -t jessie-backports install linux-image-`uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,'`». To list available backported kernel image packages: «aptitude search '?narrow(~nlinux-image,?origin(Debian Backports))'».
  296. <somiaj> and you may also need firmware-ahteros from jessie-backports as well
  297. <somiaj> I don't see your exact card listed, but I see similar cards, Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174, listed
  298. <somiaj> !jessie-backports
  299. <dpkg> Selected packages intended for the Debian 9 "Stretch" release but recompiled for use with "Jessie" (8.x) can be found in the "jessie-backports" repository. Note that jessie-backports are on the regular mirror network, not on backports.debian.org. A suitable line for your sources.list is «deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main». Also ask me about <bdo>.
  300. <somiaj> I found a ubuntu bug that says the QCA6174 should work for your QCA6164 card, so most likely the backported kernel and firmware will work for you
  301. <futurama140> wow ok.
  302. <futurama140> i need to do this with no internet connection

  306. <somiaj> you can use packages.debian.org and download the .deb you need, copy them over and dpkg -i them
  307. <somiaj> https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/linux-image-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

  313. <futurama140> i assume i can pull the tarballs of each of the three?
  314. <somiaj> no pull the .deb

  327. <futurama140> It would have taken me several more years of intimate familiarity with linux to figure that out! I appreciate it!
  328. <somiaj> you will want to ensure you enable jessie-backports
  329. <somiaj> and install the kernel metapackage linux-image-amd64 from jessiebackprots as per the bots instructions above to ensure you get kernel updates
  330. <futurama140> ok
