An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
(01-25-2020, 05:23 PM)gillham Wrote: Be careful upgrading to unstable packages as I installed firefox from unstable (which works) but later did a 'dist-upgrade' that installed a number of new packages from unstable.  Then gdm3 wouldn't come up due to a segv somewhere.  I tested a few times and figured out a number of packages that needed to be held back.  I don't have the list handy right now, but I can post it later.  Basically it seems to me there is a compiler problem affecting us.

EDIT:  FWIW, here are the packages from unstable I had to hold to keep GDM3 from core dumping.  There might be more, this is just what I ran into as mentioned above.

echo "libgjs0g hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "libgirepository-1.0-1 hold" | dpkg --set-selections

echo "libglib2.0-0 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "libglib2.0-bin hold" | dpkg --set-selections

echo "libwayland-client0 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "libwayland-server0 hold" | dpkg --set-selections

you need to pin apt preferences and set unstable and experimental packages to lower than 100 priority.

I use 2 for experimental and 3 for unstable just to confirm the configs work.
