Trixy Install problems was created by aaron
I have downloaded and flashed Debian Trixy Linuxcnc from the download page twice now. And every time I try to install, it gets stuck at configuring the sources. I do not think it is a network problem because when I run the live instance, I can browse the internet. Please can someone offer a solution, or tell me where I can download the Bookworm version, which I know works.
Thanks
Aaron

You should still be able to install it without internet or broken installer but apt will point to the CD only. I think it will get confused in some locales because the installer defaults the mirror and in some countries, this fails.
There is an issue with Debian Live which we use for the installer. Debian moved to using debian deb822 format for sources. This places the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources instead of /etc/apt/sources.list
Debian live has not caught up with this change.
so assuming you do get a bootable system, what does
cat /etc/apt/sources.list display? is it just the CD or DVD?
You could create Debian.sources in the folder above that contains
Then delete /etc/apt/sources.list
and then type sudo apt update

Thanks for the explanation, but I still don't know how to install the thing. I have tried all the options at that stage of the process, but it just goes round in an endless loop of errors. If I tell the installer I am in USA might that work?

2.9.10 has been released. Maybe try it.
If the installer fails its on the Debian side (or hardware). I was chatting to an experienced user in NZ just this morning with problems but he did manage to get it working. The ISO he had was working on other PC's.

I am currently trying to install this and it doesn't validate. When making a bootmedium RUFUS even said, that 1.5GB of the image are missing. Could you please check?
It looks like the 2.9.10 image is half the size of the previous.

Thanks for all your replies. However, I found the only way I could do the install was by downloading Debian, doing apt update, apt upgrade, and then installing LinuxCNC via Synaptic. Worked a treat.
