Troubleshooting

The installer says no network

Packages are downloaded during install, so connect Ethernet or Wi-Fi first. The installer checks that deb.debian.org is reachable and warns you if it isn't.

The install stopped halfway

Run the installer again without rebooting the USB and choose to resume. See Install.

The installer refuses my disk

It won't use the disk you booted from or one with mounted partitions. Unmount them or choose another disk. It also needs 40 GB, or 80 GB for two profiles.

I forgot my passphrase

It can't be recovered. The disk is encrypted on purpose.

It won't boot, or GRUB is missing

See Recovery.

Wi-Fi doesn't work

Firmware for common Intel, Realtek, Broadcom and AMD chips is included. If yours isn't, you may need to install its firmware package with apt over Ethernet.

Report a bug

Tell us on the MAS Discord server. Include your MAS version, whether you used UEFI or BIOS, one or two profiles, your graphics card, and the last lines the installer printed. Running MAS Installer (terminal) shows that output.
