Booting into Debian

Booting into Debian

Closed this issue 2 months ago · 26 comments

Hi! I have been using TerraOS but decided I wanted to try this, but I cannot figure out how to boot. I have used a pre built image for dedede (the latest one) and when I boot into it, it brings me to a shimmer screen with options. I have tried using the exec command which works but then it gives me new options and when I put anything in it gives me invald option selected. What do I do?

Thanks!

Oh that's strange and definitely not right. Can you select "s" to enter a shell, then send a photo of the output of fdisk -l?

I fixed it. So what happened was I ran the image through a shim builder bc that's what I've done for everything else but just using the regular bin fixed it sorry to bother you!

@ading2210 One last question I understand that you have this in the readme but I have no idea what my block device is to expand my storage. I'm using a dedede device with a sd card running this. What could be my replacement for sdX4?

@ading2210 Is there anyway so when I close my computer it doesn't shut it down?

Answer 21 · 2024-07-24T21:20:45.000Z

In the XFCE power settings, I believe you can set it to just turn the screen off when you close the lid.
