From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] what did I do to debian 13.0? I can only access the backup install (lemmy.ml)

I hope you understand what I mean.

On my grub screen there are 4 options, 2 regular booting and 2 recovery mode afair.

I cannot access the first regular one, only the second one. Cannot give you a screenshot or a picture because I'm scared of rebooting the computer again.

If I execute cat /etc/debian_version it returns 13.0, so it's already upgraded.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y doesn't return any errors.

what is going on?

What was the thing you did before this started happening?

[–] arsus5478@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (11 children)

upgraded from 12.11 to 13.0. I just deleted some old kernels and freed some space in the boot partition. Could this be the reason? not enough free boot space?

That doesn't sound like a fresh install as is the question above. Sounds like an upgrade install. 🤔

Edit: Are you running Trixie now?

Edit 2: Did you update your sources list?

[–] arsus5478@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

if by fresh install you mean nuking the old partitions and installing brand new 13.0 from an usb stick no, this is not a fresh install, fresh as in just now installed

I am running trixie

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d there is only one txt file named debian.sources, as explained in debian's instructions page. Is that wyat you mean?

I also updated grub after freeing some boot space: sudo update-grub2
