YunoHost login issue (feddit.online)
submitted 3 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So, I decided (via a virtual machine) to download debian. Everything seems to be working fine, except when I open debian, it takes me to "yunohost login". I tried everything I could think of, from "root" to the username it told me to put for the user, even "admin". Nothing worked.

Need more info. Is this in a desktop, via SSH...etc?

Where'd you get the Debian image from?

With the virtual machine, I'm using Linux

Where'd you get the image? It sure seems like you installed a yunohost image of Debian. See here for the default credentials to try logging in: https://doc.yunohost.org/admin/command_line/

Thank you so much!!

username: root and pass: yunohost don't work either, got the image here https://doc.yunohost.org/admin/get_started/install_on/on_top_of_debian

Yeah, that's not a straight Debian image, it's a yunohost image.

Stock Debian images are here: https://www.debian.org/distrib/

will i be able to download lemmy via debian?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

For running a Lemmy server, or you mean the desktop app? I'm confused on what your goal is here.

Running a Lemmy server. I was trying to do it with YunoHost on top of Debian with a virtual machine but it's not working

As long as it has Internet access you can do whatever you want like any other normal machine.

I'm trying again with VirtualBox and YunoHost (not debian) and it shows this:

If you're literally unfamiliar with the technical process of this, I suggest you go back and read a guide, so every step very literally, and then come back if you have a problem.

It's very obvious that's you're skipping steps or ignoring something.

Thanks so much!!

That looks like the bootloader is broken, or the VM BIOS settings got changed after install.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks so much!!! I tried emulating amd64 on my arm64 computer, could that be the issue?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If you changed it after installing the OS in the VM, that would be the cause.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I didn't change it, thank you!
