Bug#857554: Backup of Debian installation cannot be installed on another partition
Followup-For: Bug #857554
Package: lightdm 1.26.0-4
Hello,
this bug seems to be existant since Debian 9.
An installation of Debian only works new from ground up.
Before up to Debian 8 you could make simply an backup with tar of the partition booting another Linux.
Then you could untar it on another PC and it worked just changing the needed hardware details.
But now this makes problems even you untar on an other partition of the same PC.
In this case my SSD dies and so i untared my Backup of the working Debian 10 on the HDD.
It is working so far now, but sometimes i have a blank screen after booting without an login.
Maybe there is a problem with using 2 monitors, but i can say that it worked before on the SSD.
The login window is showed randomly on one of the monitors even it is switched off.
Today i simply waited and entered the password and then KDE started, but with a messed up initialization of the graphics.
So something has happened after Debian 8 so that this process is not stable any more.
How can this be debugged?
Cheers
karsten
