Debian 13 RC2 fixes APT CD-ROM issues for USB installs
The second release candidate for the Debian 13 “Trixie” installer is now live, and it contains a lot of interesting changes surrounding different areas of the installer. This makes sure that your Debian install becomes smoother than before.
One of the most notable changes in this release candidate of the installer is that it addresses a bug where the Debian installer would not remove the APT CD-ROM source from the final installation if Debian was installed to your computer using a USB flash drive, which is becoming common these days. Modern laptops don’t usually come with the built-in CD-ROM reader.
Because of this, Debian users who have successfully installed this distro will be met with APT telling them to insert the Debian installation disk upon trying to install any package. They’ll be met with this message:
Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 12.10.0 "Bookworm" - Official amd64 DVD with firmware 20250315-10:09'in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press [Enter]
This adds an extra step where you’ll have to comment the CD-ROM source manually by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list
file. You’ll have to look for entries like this:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.10.0 "Bookworm" - Official amd64 DVD with firmware 20250315-10:09] bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware
The change has been done in this commit in Debian’s GitLab instance, where bugs #1102140 and #1103650 have been fixed.
You can see other changes made to this release candidate of the Debian installer.

I'm going to counter-program the war news this morning & share a deep dive into what I'm playing with right now. Travel with me to a time 30 years ago when newsrooms still existed, and the TV networks began dabbling with releasing press kids on CD-ROM. My wife, who worked on a features desk at the time, saved these two gems from the dumpster 30 years ago. Let's take a look!

@Lilith Das Versenden einer CD-ROM ist auch symbolisch treffend: der Justizvollzug ist in vielen Bereichen technisch im 20. Jahrhundert stehen geblieben. Für Gefangene ist das besonders verheerend, denn sich alleine im Bereich der Consumersoftware up to date zu halten scheitert. Ja, es gibt Leuchtturmprojekte: zB können in der JVA Freiburg Abiturienten an der FernUni Hagen studieren und bekommen dafür Zugang zu einem Studi-Computerraum (mit getunneltem Zugang zur FernUni). Aber einen Flur weiter, da hacken die Gefangenen auf einer alten mechanischen Schreibmaschine ihre Briefe aufs Papier.
🚀 Oh joy, another "soft launch" of digital archaeology where we can all bask in the glory of 1997's #CDROM "innovation"—just what the world needed! 🤦♂️ Let's all pretend we're excited to sift through 5.5GB of ancient MacFormat cover discs, because who doesn't want to relive the glory days of dial-up and floppy disks? 📀✨
