From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ThSince last Sunday, I've been trying to install Debian 12 as a server OS on a Dell XPS 8900. I've seemingly been so close and yet so far. I've gotten 2 errors repeatly. One is one I can't avoid, the other one I can.

The one I haven't been able to avoid is "fclose: no space left on device". I have tried changing grub settings to 'pcie_aspm=off'. I tried changing the actual pcie for the hard drive, maybe I had a faulty one. The only thing I can think of is that I took the hard drive out, plugged it into a laptop via USB to check if it had anything important and put it back in to install Debian.

The other issue is an out of memory kernal panic but that's been fixed.

This has been a pretty major source of frustration all week. If anyone can suggest something that might help. I'll try it, cheers
