What CPU and GPU is on your computer? |
It appears the resolution is down to 800x600 or something.
That's what my Debian looked like the other day after I upgraded the Motherboard firmware. Upgrading the firmware reset all settings to default including enabling Secure Boot. Perhaps you need to disable Secure Boot in computer settings or boot with the other Debian entry. In my computer's boot menu, I have two entries for Debian, one for Secure boot disabled and one for enabled. |

You're going to have to take a closer look at dmesg.
Try this: Code:
dmesg|grep -iE 'direct-loading|firmware|amd|radeon|unloaded' |

This is because your machine seems to be able to run a 'pure' version of Debian 10 - even if you do have an AMD cpu. If you do want to make changes to /etc/apt/sources.list, then open a text editor as root. For example: Code:
su I always use gedit so: Code:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list Make your necessary changes, press save and close gedit. I don't think you have a driver issue. Why does your pic show package aptitude from the debian page? This package comes pre-installed with Debian. What desktop environment are you using? Consider changing the desktop environment on the initial debian login menu - and see if that makes a difference. Also refer to ondoho's post. |
