A modern OS that has bugs in the installer.
This is UNACCEPTABLE in the Year 2016.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD TO PERFECT THIS SHIT WINDOWS 95 DID FLAWLESSLY 20 YEARS AGO?
Something happened.
Did you partition your boot properly and or tell the installer which is your boot partition?
>ITT OP makes manual adjustments to his partitions, fucks up and blames the OS for his up-fuckery
Yeah OP. Current year. How could? Ever been? Can even?
>>53357525
>WINDOWS 95 DID FLAWLESSLY 20 YEARS AGO?
You obviously weren't alive 20 years ago for that shitfest.
I question whether you're even alive now.

If the Debian Installer doesn't work for you maybe you should try the Live CD version instead
>>53357666
I didn't experience that problem on 4 different machines so I guess it could be pebcak, regardless it got fixed the day after.
>>53357757
I didn't experience any problems with the Debian installer on the 40-something machines I set up a while ago.

>>53357811
Seriously, even win xp had a cli installer, you millinear
>>53357525
Show me your partitioning table first, then we'll talk.
>>53357855
It was automatic, not manual
Also, no mirrors worked even though ethernet and network setup were fine
Google forum results seem to show that "oh, that's just a common problem for months, just gotta accept it"
Yeah, no wonder this shit's market share is so low it's listed as "Other OS"
>>53357525
No. Stop. Debian is not for you. Maybe try a nice Ubuntu or Linux Mint instead. Maybe even an OpenSUSE or Fedora. Just not Debian.

both retards.
read the wiki and if you still can't figure it out, chances are the benefits of Linux wouldn't apply to you and there's no need for you to use it.
fuck off back to your winbabby and macfaggot shit.
>>53357941
>Linux isn't for stupid people.
Even retards can click "next" in the installer. OP clearly shouldn't use Debian and should install Ubuntu, Mint or any other beginner friendly distro.
>>53357525

Might want to do the same thing that the debian founder did
How did you manage to fuck up grub OP? Back up a couple of pages and lets see your faggotry.

Also why do you think Arch/Gentoo don't have installers? It is too complex for hobbyist programmers to implement something like that.
>>53357998

Mom forgot to buy your tendies?
>>53358004
didn't arch use to have an installer but they dropped it because it didn't fit into their idea of a neckbeard-only os?
>>53358027
Yeah.
>>53357967
I fail to see how normal people are supposed to even find Windows Server, or Windows Embedded, let alone install them on consumer hardware. They are separate products for a reason.
>>53358027
They did, but it just broke as often as ToystoryOS and their devs did the right thing to scrap it.
>>53358036

Windows Server and Embedded have functional installers.

This is why Linux will never win. Some of us have better things to do with our time anon. Shit, even now that's a tough call as well because windows 10.

This. LOONIX is for autists and poorfags. Ask for genuine Microsoft software.

I've had children "deploy" Debian on 40 machines at my local highschool when they decided to switch from XP to Linux, and none of them had any issues with it.
>>53358062
>implying it isn't
It's certainly not for the faint of heart, just look at OP. The target audience of Debian is the type that could manually install grub as needed, or could reasonably be expected to find out how from the copious documentation available.
Maybe a Chromebook is more OPs speed.
>>53358219
>It's certainly not for the faint of heart
The installer works exactly the same in Ubuntu. Also you are wrong since Ubuntu has its own server edition.
>The target audience of Debian is
People who are interested in a fully free OS but don't care about non-free being an option. Debian isn't designed for servers, its just that lazy sysadmins decided to migrate to it because of its stability (years between releases rather than months).
>>53357525
OP is right, this is a bug in the Debian live images. They don't come with grub, so you need internet connectivity to get the grub package to install from live. I've run into this myself, it's a valid bug on the Debian bug tracker.
Just goes to show Debian is a shit tier distro which has been btfo for ages. Anyone who uses Debian is a clueless crybabby who blindly accepts "the Debian way" (full of flaws mistakes bugs and workarounds) and thinks that "just install the package from testing" is a valid solution for a stable long-life distro.
Debtards need to get on the level of literally any other properly working distro, whether it's Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, CentOS, or Gentoo.
>>53357525
It's a known problem in the GUI installer. On the other hand, the non-GUI installer does its job just fine.
>>53358329
>>53358322
>known problem
>still doesn't get fixed
Loontards everybody.
>>53358338
No, Debtards. I've found and logged bugs against Fedora's installer, they got fixed before the next release.
Dude, stop shitposting. You're too efficient at your crap propaganda, I can't follow all of your stupid threads.
Did you pay for a Gold account to be able to post that much in so little time?
Never used GUI-installer in Debian. Seems OP to be newfag in Deb.
>>53357525
It happens because Linux is undersupported. I had to try a few times to get this current install working (but I have weird settings for my partition) dont lose faith, continue trouble shooting. Try doing it in a VM with lab-notes and you'll learn a lot. If youre intent isnt to learn about Linux what actually are you aiming for? Mindlessly following /g/?
>>53358353
Why exactly are you using Redhat's beta testing OS? Do you like doing work for free or what?

The most used OS right now is Android, which is Linux.
Think about that you fag.

>Debian Stable for home use
dude nobody uses Stable, that's meant for netinstalls on servers. Testing is the "muh shitposting memepad" version.
>>53358406
that's bullshit. 99% of people do not install the os on their own. they use the os that comes with the pc when they purchased it.
>>53358382
Android has basically nothing in common with Desktop Linux (the later which is complete shit)
>>53357525
even linus torvalds hasn't been able to ever install debian, just try ubuntu or opensuse, mint is a meme.
Sorry, long time Linux user here but I have to agree with OP, retarded shit like this shouldn't be happening. There's no actual fucking reason that shit has to fuck up like that.
>>53358415
I will not take this bait.
>>53358438
Other distros at least get their installers working. Not Debian tho. Just build the installer from testing and use commandline netinst, it's "the Debian way".
>>53358415
>Android has basically nothing in common with Desktop Linux
except the kernel, you memelord. Yes it is modified but it still counts.
>>53358438
If you really were a long-time Linux user, you'd understand that OP only posted junk bait.
>>53358382
Android is only made usable by the proprietary drivers and apps that come with it, so you can't really call it Loonix. If people had the money they would have all switched to iPhones and Windows phones anyway.
>>53358450
That's like saying that a Honda Civic and a Lamborghini are the same thing because they both have wheels.
Android is locked down, with drivers built-in for specific hardware, and a very limited interface (for good reason). It's the only way to make Linux usable.
Desktop Linux on the otherhand is horrible.
>>53358462
Windows phones are mostly cheaper, so no. I really enjoy android, everything just werks and i can make it want i want it to be with root access.
>>53358478
>Windows phones are mostly cheaper
Even Samsung has products designed (and priced) for the lowest pooinloo.
>root
What the fuck do you use root for? Are you one of those autists that run a Debian chroot and mess with their hosts file?
>Don't use CLI
>Post on /g/
Probably you created the thread in the wrong board.
>>53358519
> not using adblock
> not syncing with ntp
> not able to backup apps
> not able to run multiple app profiles
Yeah root is pretty useless. Please continue your shitposting.
>>53358519
OS can't be considered as normal at least among /g/-tards if one on his own device has no root access to it.
>>53358519
>What the fuck do you use root for?
not that guy, but you have to be ignorant af to claim that rooting has no advantages, being able to install xposed modules like obbonsd is great.
(obbonsd allows you to store .obb that are usually pretty big in size on sdcard, thus saving you some internal storage)
>>53358542
>backup apps
For what reason? You can run an adblocker and sync time without root even on a POS like android.
>>53358551
If you actually bought a good phone you wouldn't have to pull inane hacks like this just to install more apps.
>>53358569
> why make backups?
I think you're on the wrong forum, friend.
>>53357525
Is that Debian 6?
Jesus Christ.
You might as well try to install an unslipstreamed XP on the same machine.

Obviously. Try reading the OP. The installer CAN'T EVEN FUCKING INSTALL.

Will this take over a decade to fix like the gtk2 filepicker bug? Of course, its Debian.
>>53358711
It's not.
The installer has a different theme at the top.
You might think it' s Jessie, but it isn't.

WOW.
/g/ confirmed for falling for obvious low-tier bait.
gg OP, gg.
>>53358795
>>53358833
I'll let OP weigh in on this, but the bug
>>53358760 is that systems without an internet connection cannot install from live media.
I am willing to bet OP encountered this, but of course he can't get a screenshot from his disconnected PC, so he used Google Images to search for "debian grub-pc" and used that image to start the thread.
Just a guess tho.
>>53357525

>>53358760
>>53358862
There has been a new version of the live images since the bug, and the normal (non-live) installer never had it.
Bugs exist, bugs get fixed.
It's only gonna be a problem now if you are retarded.

CHAMP??
>>53358428
Source?
I think your stupider then OP - a guy who gets stuck using a GUI installer for a stable OS....
>>53358406
>>53358414
I was referring to debian's graphical installer. Debian does not come preinstalled as far as i know, and i doubt that 99% of debian users used the graphical installer, because (as most of them are server owners or sysadmins) they know that it loads slower and is more likely to break. I always use the 20-40 MB netboot image which doesnt even have the graphical option
