Re: Seeking for help with Debian 11 (2022-03-28 image) - can't install GRUB



Hey, Adrian, thanks for your reply!

Well, sorry for being ignorant, I am quite new to Linux... Could you direct me to some tutorial or something which would help me to understand how to "switch to another virtual console" to access syslog?

I have tried following: I disconnected my SSD off my G5 and then connected it to a Linux laptop as USB drive, but /var/log folder doesn't contain syslog file.. it says it is in journal dir, but I don't see it there either.. So honestly I don't know how to access that syslog file..

Sorry again..

cheers,

jG

An update about my problem with GRUB..

After wiping up disk and PRAM reset I was able to install GRUB, but it
doesn't boot... If I start G5 when pressing "option" button it then shows
GNU icon as boot option, but it's not booting from there - when I click
it screen refreshes and nothing happens...

Could you provide the installation log which can be found in /var/log/syslog
during installation?

Just switch to another virtual console and use scp to copy /var/log/syslog to another computer. Then compress it using gzip and send it to the mailing
list.

Thanks,
Adrian
