Greetings all! I know this will be a rather difficult thing to answer I think, but are there any generic steps listed somewhere on how to troublehshoot a problem on a Debian/Linux system? I understand that each problem can be rather unique on how you approach it but I have yet to see a kind of flow-chart or at least some guidelines (did a quick search of the Debian FAQ and the LDP) and nothing was immediately obvious. I was kinda looking for a:
1/ Check logs. Insert ways to check various logs (both CLI and GUI) 2/ Type commands (for networks use command A, for video use command B, for....) Right now, and perhaps the only method, is to plunk in any error message (when I know there are any) into Google and hopefully a solution appears that works for Debian. Obviously a lot of Ubuntu results show up but given my limited knowledge on the difference, I am not yet qualified enough to know whether it will work without causing more complications. I am aware of the various channels of help (i.e. this list, IRC, the base websites) but was hoping someone may have outlined more steps so that I can learn as much as possible without having to wait for someone to reply.
