I have downloaded the new release iso 2.8

I cannot get it to load. I have downloaded and made the bootlable usb with balenaEtcher

The problem is that it hangs after it has just configured the network connections

It stops with "Configure The Network" with Debian in a dark blue band at the top of the screen

I have downloaded it twice and tried graphical and Install. I have tried using different HD's.

I then tried the new install from Mr Beagle with the new 2.8 mint 19.3 that went fine.

Could this be that the debs have not got around the world yet?


Edit; I have now tried this on a different PC and it installed OK without issues

It installed just fine for me today on a HP elite 8300 SFF and on another HP machine. I use Disk Image Writer in Linux to create the bootable USB.

Yes I have tested in on another PC and it installs OK.

One question where are the power management and screensaver settings located.?

network manager -> right click on the network icon in the top right corner

auto login:

sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf

Gives:

Warning: Spoiler!


Add (using you username for <user_name>:

Warning: Spoiler!


Then do

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

And uncomment two lines plus enter your user name

Warning: Spoiler!


Worked for me.

That’s Debian for you.

I know on Stretch there were bits and pieces missing that made it really annoying.

Thanks I actually use your iso with mint But you indicated that you might stop your server in the near future.

I usually opt for Linux mint Debian edition (LMDE) that is a lot more polished but for a machine controller I can live with this.
There is also a LinuxMint ISO that's really nice.
