Synaptic has a button to (essentially) run "apt update" It's in the upper left
corner of the window and labeled "Reload" and if you hover over it, it says
"reload the package information to become informed about new, removed or
upgraded software packages".
HTH!

Hold down the key when you turn the machine on. Hold it until the
finishes. You should see a menu of possible boot disks. Pick one that has a

I'm trying to install Debian Buster [1] on my Cubox-i4P with an eSATA drive.
Everything seems to be fine, but when it comes time to reboot, it boots into
the installer again, rather than the installed system.
Here's what I did, and what I observed:

If 12GB is reasonable (I have no idea, I don’t use “hibernate” myself) here are
figures to input to the calculation:
SSD sustained write transfer rate is between 30 MB/sec and 120 MB/sec.
Closer to 30 MB/sec (or even slower) if it’s a USB-3 thumb drive (even less
than that if USB-2); closer to 1
You need to add the clause “oflag=sync” on your dd commands. Without it the
MB/s numbers are really just measuring how fast you can fill up the RAM cache
(for write) or scoop up data from the RAM cache (in the case of read).
Here’s an example from one of my machines with a SATA-III SSD and lots

Pure Debian, as noted, does not have the kernel tweaks to take full advantage

So... Here's another question:
Why is the default size of /boot, as created by the installer, so small? Disk
(even SSD) is cheap enough these days that the default size could be as much as
a GB without great pain.

This means that reads and writes should be on 4KiB boundaries, and writes
should be multiples of 4KiB, for optimal performance. As long as those criteria
are met, there's no harm and some real benefits of reading and writing larger
blocks than the minimum.
One example benefit, among several pos

I used to have my own webserver, but the machine I was running it on died.
What is “pastebin”? Is it available to everyone?
Enjoy!

Hi John, and welcome to the Debian community!
I assume you have a broadband Internet connection where you will be doing this

Good to know about the expert option. So what does the Non-Free,
firmware installer get you over the standard all open source installer?

Hi Tamar,
I think your problem is that the box is not connected to the internet. The
sources.list file left by the install process assumes you will be connected.
So take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the lines that refer to
internet sites such as deb.debian.org, Then un-commen

I'd like to use it for a NAS for the home network, so my family can share files
without resorting to sneaker-net.
We have a full range of clients -- Mac, W
