Re: debian installation is no longer working

[Semih Ozlem <semihozlemlinuxuser@gmail.com>]

In addition to my earlier message, the usb drive has three partitions FAT partition including EFI, swap  partition, btrfs partition where home folder is located.

sudo btrfs rescue super-recover /dev/sdc3

gives the response

All supers are valid, no need to recover

When starting from the usb, the boot process starts with some messages such as not starting network manager. Indeed if I drop to root shell, apt-get update won't do what it usually does since internet connection can't be established. (similarly neither apt --fix-broken install) there was also a message about a bug in kernel at boot time.

Any ideas on what can be done so that booting of the system can be restored?

Hi everyone,

I installed debian 10 on a 64 GB usb. It had been working fine. Last I installed apache server, virtualbox, docker. After all this it worked fine for a while, though at times slowly. Currently it is not working. It does not finish booting, and it gets stuck at a certain point. The scrolling lines indicate DEPEND problem and failing to start network manager and some other issues, that I have not been able to write down.

When I choose to boot in recovery mode, I am able to get to a shell as root. However I do not know and am not sure about what steps to take to rescue the system. Can anyone offer help or indicate a good source to read through?

I have not written down machine details, (would this be related to the machine, since it used to work fine).

Linux kernel that the debian 10 system is using is 4.19.0.6 or 4.19.0.8

Thank you
