Apologies as it’s not whonix related but I received assistance previously regarding this issue.
A few years ago I installed Debian using the cyberguerilla guide installing a safer operating system.
Back then, there was a troubleshooting section in the event that once installation was complete, and it you were greeted with the dreaded flashing cursor, you could rescue mode and there was a line or perhaps 2 of code that fixed the problem.
I cannot find it anywhere and was wondering if anyone could direct me to where to find it.
I’ve manages to fix it, but not the way I enquires about above. I entered rescue mode, and installed boot loader on to vg-root, then rebooted and it’s worked.
I’m apprehensive about his though in case it’s jeapordised the security within the process
in the latest version of the guide i am working on, the troubleshooting section is gone. instead, this common problem is addressed by assuming it may happen and, therefore, is incorporated into the general installation instructions. the latest version is currently in a testing phase. i expect that a public final version will be released in the next few days.
the directions from the appendix afterwords wont work the same. if you came here for the blank screen reason, go through the grub install steps after you used the appendix.
@9b_Nx5Cjep i will. unfortunately, apple computers have become more problematic. so, waiting on beta testing there to find either a solution or drop it from guide. so, that’s the hold up right now. aside from that, software solutions are in harmony at the moment. instant messenger solution still is not ideal. but it’s workable.
the above linked 1.7.1.g version will likely be the final full release. waiting for some additional feedback from those testing it. however, keep in mind that it is a beta version and, therefore, may still contain some issues we’ve all missed in our review.
All versions of the guide are outdated. When Whonix Host is released, it will be updated and I’ll be looking to submit the info to the Whonix wiki to make it easier to find and keep it current.
that’s the idea at the moment. it makes more sense in the long run. it won’t be called the “guide” anymore most likely. it will simply be chapters on the wiki that can be clicked through and hopefully integrate with other wiki entries as needed.
