The Debian Installer itself is using debootstrap internally.

When running the the install-debian script after cloning Daniel's repository I get the following: Code: rock@Debian-Desktop:~/pinebook-pro-debian-installer$ ./install-debian BLKDEV=/dev/mmcblk0 And when trying to clone https://github.com/mrfixit2001/updates_repo.git directly I get the following: Code: rock@Debian-Desktop:~/pinebook-pro-debian-installer$ git clone https://github.com/mrfixit2001/updates_repo.git I have tried this on both different versions of Manjaro and a fresh copy of the official Debian image both with a variety of different versions of git from the repos and self compiled, all fail in the same way. With regards to my question about the official Debian packages, could you explain how these can be used in a debootstrap script? For example could these be incorporated into Daniel's script? Apologies if I am misunderstanding their purpose.

Is the Debian image fully up to date? (apt update && apt upgrade) From your previous post it seemed like you were confusing packages and images (though I might be wrong). Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: package: a piece of software (Firefox, Kodi, etc.) image: something that you can write directly to a storage device (SD card, USB stick, HDD, etc.). Can contain just about everything, though in this context it's typically a pre-installed OS. The Debian images you linked above are for the official Debian Installer, which can be used to install Debian from scratch. Depending on the image it may or may not contain some software packages, e.g. to be able install the system without a network connection. debootstrap: a tool (and itself a package) that can be used to install Debian on some local storage, by downloading packages and installing them. This is the low-level tool used by the official Debian Installer, but it can be used to install Debian directly. (a similar tool is mmdebstrap) For automating installs you can use either the official Debian Installer (preseeding), FAI, or some script based on debootstrap. Do note that after using debootstrap there is still much work to do, which the Debian Installer will do for you instead. As far as I understand danielt's unofficial installer is "just" a script using debootstrap that is optimized for the PinebookPro (it installs some additional firmware, custom kernel, etc.). It can probably be adapted to your needs. Have fun RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - xmixahlx - 05-07-2020 you dont even need the whole repo. just grab the image files directly via git https. RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - ThatGeoGuy - 05-15-2020 I've been on Debian sid for a while now with this. Has anyone else experienced the sound going through both the headphone jack (to headphones or speakers or whatever) and also going through the built in speakers at the same time? I did the usual check for separate devices in alsamixer, but there's literally only the one device which outputs to both. I am sure I had this working at some point, so I don't know what would have changed, any thoughts? *EDIT* If you haven't seen this, mind posting your /var/lib/alsa/asound.state ?

Yup, switching back and forth between headphones and speakers has been a bit of a hassle here. RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - moonwalkers - 05-16-2020 Has anyone else tried running 5.6.0 kernel from main Debian repos? I was under impression that 5.6 should already have at least the minimum set of patches for the machine to boot and show the image on the screen, but that doesn't appear to be the case, unless I'm doing something wrong... RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - ric - 05-16-2020 Hello everyone, I'm trying to use the script to install debian on a SD card but I'm getting this error: W: Failure trying to run: chroot "/home/rick/repos/pinebook-pro-debian-installer/sysimage" /bin/true W: See /home/rick/repos/pinebook-pro-debian-installer/sysimage/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (this log gets deleted so im not able to see it) Is this because I'm using a x86 thinkpad to run it? 20.04 Pop OS. Should I run this script from a arm debian image? Thanks!

It should work from most Debian or Ubuntu images (including the default vendor image). So, yes, you should run it directly on your pinebook pro First boot - JaredT66 - 05-19-2020 I'm having an issue getting the graphical boot to start. I can log into the console (ALT-F1) just fine, but the graphical boot just cycles over and over. Anyone else run into this? |
