- In this video i go through the steps of installing Debian on real hardware, from the BIOS to the desktop. Installing only the base system and a tiling window manager... Utilizing startx to leave the TTY.

"RGB is dumb" >>>>>> Instant subscribe :)
I never knew Debian could be installed bare bone. Thanks for making this, because honestly debian is lot more stable
Good guide, really appreciate this. I think the terminal window text should be larger, a bit hard on the eyes. Thanks for posting this!.
Did this today with a bullseye install and spectrwm then git install of i3gaps. Thanks you as always.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Subscribed already. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this video. You have a new subscriber :)
Finnaly, a good tutorial installing Debian.....
Nice Video Mike i'm giving pclinuxos rolling distro and so far a wonderful experience and no Breakages Thanks again
Is this pclinuxos the openbox edition? How do you like it. I'm trying pclinuxos Trinity edition at the moment.
Thank you for this useful tutorial!
Thanks for sharing!
“Hate me but rgb is dumb” why I would hate someone with good taste?
How can I make a bootable usb with debian, which have xorg and desktop environment preinstalled?
How to go to the menu after I have installed packets with debian-dialog-install-script?
Just a sec , How did you connect to the internet over there in the tty ?
Great video. Though, since I'm sort of a newbie, I'd have to watch this more carefully before I try it.
One question though - what was the idle RAM usage on this fresh install and the total space consumed by the whole system?
It depends on the window manager you choose and what you have starting automatically. I'm my case with just spectrwm and my bar script, it is usually between 200M and 300M. But you can expect it to be more if you are starting a session manager and a polkit.
The total space taken up by the system escapes me right now, I personally like to make my ESP partition (for UEFI ) between 300M and 600M, but standard practice is to make the root partition around 30 Gigs, and the swap partition at least as large as the amount of RAM on your system so sleep and suspend can work properly. The home partition is usually whatever is left from making those partitions unless you are assigning /home to a different drive.
@Name Less. Sorry for so many responses, but if you are trying this in a VM, everything will fit in 20 Gigs, but I like to assign 32 Gigs in case I want to install a lot of software.
@@linuxdabbler Hi Mike. No worries about the multiple replies. Doesn't bother me. Thanks a lot for your replies and fantastic content.
Very Interesting Video, is there a way for this to work with a bunch of minimal stacking WMs as well? (openbox, icewm, etc) while i do understand the appeal of tiling WMs, it's not my cup of tea, honestly.
Yes it is entirely possible. Just download your window manager of choice and add
exec (your window manager) in your ~/.xinitrc file.
AntiX has a few to test out if you do a live USB. Fluxbox is the only decent one, i.m.o. - though, OpenBox isn't included in AntiX.
Is there a way to install Debian initially with an updated kernel, say a backported 5.4, 5.6 or 5.8? On my AMD with integrated graphics, the 4.19 kernel does not display graphics.
Do you have a newer ryzen chip? Debian testing is shipping with kernel 5.9 at the moment. I have been running testing for months without issue.
Hello! Im quite new to linux world and im experimenting with a similar minimal Debian installation.
I would like to ask what package or software i have to install so that the hard drives or USB drives on my pc mount automatically once i plug them, just as
it happens with a regular distro or in windows. I've tried gnome disks but i have to manually do the mounting at least the first time.
Thank you
@Christos Tsekas. Sorry I didn't see your comment. For some reason, it did not show up on mobile (where I usually reply to comments). But to answer your question... I had a similar issue once, and I found that installing gvfs and gvfs-backends helped a lot. There may be another program but the name escapes me at the moment.
@@linuxdabbler I see, ok i will try that. thank you for the help!
Giddy up!
So glad to hear someone say RGB is dumb. If you want fancy RGB effects, use your monitor!
(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. (nvidia mx230 + intel uhd graphics). Can anybody help me, please?
That is a graphics driver issue. You will probably need to drop to a TTY and enable the contrib and non-free repos in your /etc/sources.list file. Then find it which Nvidia driver you need by installing and running nvidia-detect. Then install the Nvidia driver it recommends and reboot. But there will not be a way to switch between Intel and nvidia easily... I have never used a laptop with dual graphics, so I could be wrong. But if nothing else works for you, Pop_OS has support for dual graphics for Intel/Nvidia.
Hi, Good video...
I'm looking for a video on how to MANUALLY install Linux...
(no assisted setup... just copying files and creating folders and configs...)
1. creating partitions and formating the target drive...
2. copying the files minimum files from a source to the target drive (manual copy, file-by-file)
3. creating minimal required folders (/root /bin /etc ...)
4. creating minimum configuration files (/etc/???)
5. select and install a bootloader for MBR... and other for GPT/EFI
?can you point me to some video/doc with this info
Thanks
@ZEE IBIT. Thank you for watching. It sounds like you are looking for a Gentoo or Linux from Scratch video series. Zebedeeboss did a live stream with a man named Serge where they did a complete Gentoo install... It's about 4 hours long or so, but there is some great information in there. But if that's not manual enough, there is another video series from SudoTech where he installs Linux from scratch.
I hope this helps you find what you're looking for.
@@linuxdabbler thanks for the help,,, I will check those videos... 👍👌✌
nice, any chance of openbox from the minimal install on debian, thanks.
DT.... distro tube did one a while back. Excellent presentation
You should zoom in to screen .. thanks for sharing
what Wm do you install ?
I did the same install and I don't have sudo and it's making me crazy
@Daniel Guzman. If you created a root account, your user won't have sudo privileges. Switch to your root account and
apt install sudo -yy
then edit this file
/etc/sudoers
Add this line under the #User privilege specification comment, but change the name to your username.
user ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Then switch to your user and you should have sudo.
@@linuxdabbler thank you my man
Sadly I'm doing a new install
I'll see what happens now
I'm a bit worried for the wifi, Im installing the iso with the non free drivers so in theory everything should work... I hope at least
@@linuxdabbler well I tried and it's seems I just can't get my wifi network working
For being such a stable and easy to set up distro, it's a big pain in the *cough* to set the wifi with the right drivera
Can't believe arch is easier on that my GOD
Sorry you are having such a hard time with wifi. I wouldn't know exactly what advice to give you.. the only laptop I have is an old thinkpad and I just had to enable the contrib and non-free repos and install firmware-linux network manager and iwlwifi and I was good to go.
I cant see nothing
The people who disliked this thought RGB is smart. :p
So, how do you open the terminal after you entered the command startx?
Different environments have different key bindings... I'm using SpectrWM in this video and the default keybinding is Alt, Shift, Enter.
@@linuxdabbler awesome, thank you for your quick reply! I got it!
I was getting stuck on the ls command that you did right before you did chmod +x command. Kinda new to all this, the learning curve is pretty steep as I have google every command and know how it behaves. Thank you again!
No problem. Glad I could help.
can't see what you are typing
donwloading the netinstall of nonfree should've taken care of some of that, right?
Damn, how did you get two million dislikes with less than a million views?
That's pretty fucked up.
Sorry dude. Your "minimal" install is bloated.
new to linux, what is bloat
How bloated ?
@@jordy.vogeltjes oh right thanks
@@linuxinside6188 Not anything crazy. Tbh I would rather us Slackware, a lot more minimal and is easy to install. If you want a proper minimal install then uncheck everything even the standard system utilities. If you do that you'll get systemd, gnu coreutils, devbinaries, bootloader, linux kernel, apt, dpkg, and base packages which is the exact same as Arch (yes arch has devbinaries and base packages)
