Well at least we know what isn't the problem, back to the drawing board.

Please
I ask for help.

Is this important:
I created the bug during updating to new Debian.

Go to the grub submenu to this menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.9.0-18-686-pae, press e for edit and change the linux line from this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-18-686-pae root=UUID=f0295e7e-ea3f-42c4-bef6-e7df6ef9d9bc ro quiet
to this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-18-686-pae root=/dev/sda1 ro nomodeset acpi=off 2

Do you get a console login screen?

Quote:

If boot is successful, you should have shell login prompts on each of tty1-tty6, and be facing the one on tty1 with boot messages remaining on it. You can opt to leave tty1 to goto any of the other ttys using the Alt key, such as Alt-F3, to reach an otherwise empty screen except for a welcome message and login prompt.

Sorry.
I dont understand.
There was then a booting.
Then I see black screen like a terminal.
What do I have to do then?

I don't understand what you did or saw. Was the black screen entirely black with no text? What does "there was a booting" mean? Did you reach a screen with a white text login prompt on a black screen, either before or after striking Alt-F3?

To be clear, this striking of E key to append 2 needs to be repeated on every boot that occurs until a solution to the original problem is found and applied.

Sorry.
Same result.
Panic.
Thank You.

Thank You to mrmazda.

Sorry for misunderstanding.
"I don't understand what you did or saw"

My question was:
What do I have to do when there is no panic.

So my first idea was download Debian 11 burn it
boot with DVD and make a new Debian.
This didnt work.

Give more details of what didn't work. What was name of iso you used? What did you do, attempt to reinstall, use rescue mode of iso, other? At what point did it not work?

Login. Is there a login prompt on each of the screens reached by doing Alt-F6, Alt-F4, Alt-F5, Alt-F3 or Alt-F2? If you can login, then do so as root, not your regular username, and try just the following to start with:

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit

Show us exactly what appears on the screen when you do that. It should show a URL. If it does, it's all we need to have in order to see the content of that log file. If you get an error message instead of the URL, we need to see the message.

Next try this:

Code:

journalctl -b -1 | grep aile | pastebinit

This too should provide a URL that you can show us.

Same problem.

colorpurple21859 · 01-02-2024, 05:59 PM

What is name of iso you used for live DVD?
Give specs of computer: make model, amount of memory, type of processor any other specs that might be helpful.

beginstart · 01-03-2024, 09:28 AM

"Give specs of computer"

Please tell me the instruction
for redaing out the hardware facts.

I did try many LICE DVDs
Debian
Ubuntu
Suse
Fedora
Knoppix

....

Same reaction
"panic".
Its a horrible situation.
Thank You.

Can this help:

Computer make and model should be on a label on the case.

For cpu model, open a terminal and type

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep model

For memory, type

Code:

 lsmem|grep Total

colorpurple21859 · 01-03-2024, 06:00 PM

If you can only boot in rescue mode, how did you obtain the thumbnail in post 72 of the grub folder from a file manager?

beginstart · 01-04-2024, 09:18 AM

Code:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep model
model        : 23
model name    : Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5200  @ 2.50GHz
model        : 23
model name    : Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5200  @ 2.50GHz
:~$ 




~$ lsmem|grep Total
lsmem: cannot open /sys/devices/system/memory: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
h:~$

Thank You for help.

Filemanager and Chromium is working.

I can edit and burn and open terminals.
