How to use tasksel?

Post by je55eah »

Tasksel is a program that is widely recommended for installing large package collections.

Here's what I've done so far.

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt install tasksel
apt install debhelper dpkg-dev gettext po-debconf
apt-get install -f
dpkg --configure -a
tasksel install desktop

Code: Select all

tasksel --new-install 

has a similar outcome

This is what happens.

Code: Select all

tasksel: apt-get failed (100)

df -h reports the following available memory

tmpfs 3.8G /mnt/live
devtmpfs 10M /dev
/dev/sda3 74G /mnt/live/mnt/sda3
/dev/loop0 4.0G /mnt/live/memory/changes
aufs 4.0G /
/dev/loop1 0 ...
/dev/loop2 0 ...
tmpfs 722M /run
tmpfs 5.0M /run/lock
tmpfs 1.6G /dev/shm
cgroup 12K /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 773M /run/user/0

How should I proceed?

The best resources I found so far are these:

tasksel doesn't work for me either, did a web search (as you probably did too) but the solutions provided didn't work for me, so... no idea how to fix.

Thanks for trying. Is there a place to look for logs that might help me understand the problem?
