I'd not see this as being the problem, Both a text and a GUI install
should succeed (or fail) under the *same* conditions.
Exactly. Either it was a pertitioning problem, as pointed first by Lisi,
and he does not want to admit; or some other random problem, and in this
case no one will never know or be able to reproduce it because he can't
follow instructions.
It was not a partitioning problem or some other random problem. There's a bug in the GUI Debian Installer packaged with LXDE desktop, ver 6.0.6. I succeeded simply by running the text-based Debian Installer. No one suggested that. I just tried it on a lark. You were too busy finding fault.
During this debacle, as I stated many times, the GUI installer takes over the entire screen. I reported what the installer told me when the GRUB installer failed. I did not know how to access the syslog. You write that I "can't follow instructions." I never got any instructions. "We can't help you if you won't tell us what syslog says" is not instructions.
But we made his life happier. He will be bragging around how Linux is a
chaotic system impossible to install, how Linux people is rude and
incompetent and how he managed to find the problem by himself and teach
the Linux kids. He did this before and will do again.
Very early on, Joao Luis, you wrote that what I was trying to do was incredibly complicated and, to paraphrase, I should learn to walk before I try to run. That was not constructive advice. It's not complicated. The proof is that I succeeded. Of course, to you that just indicates what a troll I am. I must have been trolling from the git-go.
