Maybe this will help you:

You will need to use other external media rather than putting the files in the installer.

I'd like to set up an VPN before going online/ installing.

The net-installer only includes a minimal number of packages as it is expected for the device to connect to the internet or to a network repository.

I would download the debian DVD as it includes graphical packages. I am surprised that the live ISO did not work as that should include them too. What happens when you run:

First, can you start off by listing your hardware?
Most importantly the PC you are installing it on and the graphics card/chipset that is being used?

Second try with debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso (3.3GB)No gui there!

Was there a gui in the live environment or none at all?

Can you move the mouse around or does nothing happen at all?

What does dmesg say?

What BIOS version are you running?
Have you tried factory resetting your BIOS/EFI?

Does the PC come with any peripherals? I would strip the pc to its core and see if the same error occurs. Even taking out DIMMs if you can.

As Aki asked, what packages are you trying to install? From where? Give us what you have done to get this error rather than only posting the error.

I will assure you there will be future problems. I would recommend either reinstalling stable or committing to the full upgrade to sid (if you are up to it) instead of using a frankendebian system.

libc6 is a core package which can make downgrading very troublesome, it would save a headache to just re-install and use the backports repo to install the nvidia driver using bookworm-backports.

If you want to give it a go you would need to see what packages were installed from the install/upgrade and downgrade them manually. The tool apititude might be your best bet here as it can try to find the best was around your dependency problems.

It does look like there an announcement on the top of this board:

Sorry for reposting. I tried looking at active threads and didn't see it, as it does not seem to appear there.

Those aren't from bookworms repo, It looks like you installed/upgraded from the sid repo which is why apt cannot resolve dependencies.

Can you post:

After the 12.3 upgrade it seem there is a kernel bug with 6.1.64-1 which will be fixed in 6.1.66-1. It may be fixed by the time you have read this. If you are running 6.1.64-1 you hopefully should be able to use the previous kernel for now: 6.1.55-1

Have you tried this?

Unless you really know what you are doing, installing the drivers from Nvidia's website can cause more problems.

Unfortunately Mint packages are not compatible with Debian, you will either need to download the packages you need or buy the DVDs.

If your /home folder is separate you should be able to reinstall Debian and remount the /home partition without formatting it. If it is all one partition you may will have to backup the data on to a different drive before re-installation.

Wanted to come on to say Firefox-ESR has been now updated to 91.4 after updating, but it seems there is already a post here about it. Nice job Debian team.

The wiki provides information on installing the current release of Firefox. You download the files and shove it in /home or /opt.

As long as your sources.list file point to bullseye, then yes.

+1 for nftables.

I switched to it after I installed Buster and I was surprised with how simple it was. You can manage it by using commands or directly editing the text file (just be careful with the correct formatting). The main disadvantage as of today is that there is less documentation on it. But that may change due to time.

The wiki if you need to refer to it. Otherwise there are guides online which people have made.

The link ...

Just to add, the current version of 9 (as of today) is 9.13, which is the final release back in July.

You can check this by running:

Definitely this looks like hardware/firmware problem.

First things first: You're using an old PSU from previous setup -> in such situation You should measure the voltages (no, HW monitor in the BIOS is not showing real voltages). Unstable voltage can cause astonishing HW failures.

Assuming that the PSU voltages are stable:

I will make a note of that, I don't own a multimeter or anything to test voltages with though. I might get a new power supply at some point soon anyway as I don't want ...
