The part of my df -h output that relates to my Solid State Drive looks as below

CODE OUTPUT 1 - df -h output taken from Wizard's SSD running Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon (UEFI)


Below is another view of this, taken from Linux Lite 4.2 (which cannot be installed under UEFI) also on the Dell Inspiron, which has a 2TB HDD that I have temporarily set up as MBR.

CODE OUTPUT 2 - df -h output taken from Wizard's HDD running Linux Lite 4.2 (CSM/Legacy)

Apart from the fact that one Distro reads my SSD as being /dev/sdc and the other reads it as /dev/sdb


Question - What is missing from Code Output 2?

The answer likely is related to your problem.

I have to go for a bit, but will be back when I can with further input :D

the Debian live usb with I used to install debian doesn’t boot on the newer computer too.
 
I am not sure about that last Post but I will cover it later. :)

Any subsequent Helpers should take note here, please.

The bottom line here, is that you have your Debian "on a stick" not on a stick, but rather, on an SD card - a card that can go into a card reader, into perhaps cell phones or cameras. Is that so, my young friend?

The Ubuntu is actually on a legitimate USB stick, and it interacts fine with your new computer, and can also show Debian on its Grub Menu, and so boot into Debian that way.

Sadly, my knowledge on SD cards, currently, is limited to use with phones and cameras, not with Linux. I may change that, in time :p

You created the two "media" ( USB stick and SD Card) two different ways.

The Ubuntu stick was set up to recognise UEFI, which is on your computer - has to be because of Windows 10.

Windows 10 already has its own ESP - EFI System Partition - in place for Windows, yours is on /dev/sda1 and is 260MB in size. Mine is something around 500MB, set by Dell or Windows.

This can also be used to allow for both Ubuntu and Debian being installed, they can share with Windows.

The Debian SD card was set up as MBR (MS-DOS, Legacy, call it what you will).

Debian WILL work from it, but only under the conditions you have already experienced, through Ubuntu.

Further, even if you could get it up and working, with its own Grub Menu, that Menu would only show Ubuntu and Debian, it will not show Windows to boot into, because it will not recognise the Windows UEFI-based ESP.

The best way for it to work would be if you had 2 identical USB sticks, one with Ubuntu, one with Debian, installed under UEFI conditions, and sharing Windows' ESP.

BETTER though is -

Thanks - that last line is the one I was hoping to see.

Peer said:
/ dev / sda3 221G 69G 153G 32% / media / debian / Windows

... you could easily spare 50 to 100, even as much as 125 GB of what is currently occupied by Windows and is empty, to put both Debian and Ubuntu on.

I know you had some issues with Debian to fix, was it sound or wifi?

How did that go.

Think about all of the above, because I do not have a better option.

Cheers

Debian is on a real USB stick. Its a USB 3.3 stick by sandisk. I also have a sd card in my computer but its just musik on it.
 
OK so shall we try one more time?

Remove the SD music card.

Have both USB sticks in place on the new laptop.

Boot from the Ubuntu, and then issue

Code:
sudo fdisk -l

and report the output to us. Thanks.

[QUOTE = "Peer, post: 61508, member: 53431"] Je veux démarrer Debian sans utiliser le grub sur mon instllation Ubuntu.
Si je ne tire que mon installation Debian sur mon ordinateur, elle n’apparaît pas dans le menu de démarrage.
Mais c’est tout simplement ce qui se passe sur des ordinateurs plus récents, je peux démarrer Debian sans problème avec mon ancien labtop. [/ QUOTE]
Votre système bios (Basic Input Output System) est fondamentalement un niveau primitif. Il peut détecter des disques et effectuer certaines tâches très facilement sur le matériel.
 
@Peer the output is only showing the one USB stick, are both plugged in?

My mistake, Peer, I humbly apologise :(. I did not scroll down with the output. :oops:

However, the result is as I expected. You have formatted and installed the two sticks in two different ways.

/dev/sdc has

Festplattenbezeichnungstyp: dos

/dev/sdb has

Festplattenbezeichnungstyp: gpt

Remind me which of Ubuntu and Debian is on which of /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc

Cheers

Chris
 
You installed Debian in October, was that on the new computer or the old?

You installed Ubuntu earlier than that, that must have been on the old, is that right?
