remove the # from these 2 lines,
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main
Control+x to save, then update using this
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Iām sorry. I need that dumbed way down for me. I know it seems like I should know (and my SO just said āoh, he wants you to edit the config fileā but he said he doesnāt know how) but - yeah. I get what you said, that a list of sources that Debian uses to install software isnāt up to date, but I have no idea where to go to type/enter anything. Iām sitting at my root prompt.
you posted a photo of what is in the file from nano so that is where you edit it. Nano is an editor.
Oh! Heh, ok, Iāll give it a shot.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Arrow down and remove the # from these 2 line of that file (from the Pic you posted)
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main
Control+x to save, y to confirm, then update using this.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Did what exactly?
Did you update after removing the # from that file?
Do you have anything before the deb? Looks like there is something else thereā¦
Also make sure.you have all six lines from kanga_whoās post
I did, yes.
I pulled up that file, I deleted the # from the two lines and the space that came after. I did Cntl-X, I pressed Y, I pressed Enter, I typed the line that you typed after you said āā¦, then update using thisā
Nothing before the four deb. What do I delete, and where do I type in the new lines?
no itās a mirror image if you zoom in.
I suspect he has network problems if itās still not working.
@withay Can you ping deb.debian.org ?
(stepping away for a half hour or so - will be back!)
Sorry about that - back!
LOL So I guess, after I ping deb.debian.org, that a scrolling list of "64 bytes from (IP): icmp seq= 1,2,3,4,5,6ā¦ currently 122, 123, 124ā¦
Means I have network issues.
As everything else in the house is fine, Iām guessing that the driver I selected was NOT the correct one.
When I put in my USB stick with what I THOUGHT was the correct driver - I was just taken back to ānetwork card not foundā.
I DO know there is a good network on the Mobo as I was using it just earlier before I started this process.
Mobo is an ASUS P8P67 Pro (Rev 3.1). Network is LAN Chipset Intel 82579
Found what I believe is the correct driver pack on Intelās site. Downloading now. Then to figure out how toā¦ Uhā¦ DO it.
what did you do to sort it out?
can you show a picture of the output from ping as your response doesnāt make sense.
also output from command
ip a
you shouldnāt need to screw with this unless youāre using WLANā¦
Ok, not sorted out.
Hereās the scroll that appeared after the ping until I cntl-c to stop it. Then is the ip a
I donāt know at this point whatās going on.
I just went in and deleted my four lines that started with ādebā and typed in what kanga_who had typed, the 6 lines, and we may have a victory - Lets find out!
Edit: Aaaaaand that did the trick.
I really appreciate the help and responses. And the patience!!
Iāll have more questions, Iām sureā¦
