bgstack15I think my problem might be because of the contents of the ISO file. For the one I can virt-install with, the devuan_ascii_2.0.0-beta_amd64_DVD.iso, it's got install.amd/vmlinuz and install.amd/initrd.gz01:37
bgstack15For the one I cannot, the devuan_ascii_2.1_amd64_dvd-1.iso, it looks like the linux file (which looks compressed, but not named as such) and initrd.gz sare not in the install/ dir.01:39
bgstack15Do you think that could be the cause of virt-install not being able to find the kernel and boot image?01:39
bgstack15I'm narrowing it down. Virt-install package file urlfetcher.py cannot determine that this is a Debian install disc (it doesn't have a definition for Devuan), so it cannot use some defaults for the kernel filename and initrd.02:16
bgstack15The cd assets do not match names of the tree from http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/cdrom/02:16
bgstack15Got it! The beta disc image had "Debian" in the /.disk/info so virt-install was detecting it as Debian and reading the correct kernel and initrd. The 2.1 installer disc has the name "Devuan GNU/Linux 2.1 (ascii) amd64 DVD1" which does not match the branding as I understand it (GNU+Linux)02:41
bgstack15And so does not match regex "Debian.*". By making a small patch to urlfetcher.py in virt-manager, I can get it to work with the kernel and initrd.02:41
bgstack15I'll move the rest to the forums so I don't get slapped for spamming this.02:42
fsmithredrrq: it works fine with atheros wireless card. Does not need non-free firmware. Posting from the new install.14:40
fsmithredOH! I did get non-free firmware. Got firmware-realtek for the ethernet, not the wireless. But I'm not using ethernet.14:42
fsmithredone other odd thing: I got a dialog for console-setup. It wanted to know what character encoding to use on the console. Just that one question. This was a regular install, not expert.14:43
fsmithredok, time to reboot to my real system14:44
joshbowyerso theres an issue in beowulf with ecryptfs-utils22:47
joshbowyerlooks like it was pulled from debian buster and testing due to a bug, but the bug is only in its behavior with systemd22:48
joshbowyerbug is #76585422:48
joshbowyerproblem is, if this package is removed by a Conflict statement added to another package to remove it, as apparently has happened to some debian users, whatever you previously encrypted (usually /home) is inaccessible.22:49
joshbowyermy thought is that it should be forked and kept in devuan as the only issue is that systemd doesnt unmount the encrypted partitions due to how it handles users and logins, but this doesnt affect devuan22:49
golinuxjoshbowyer: Have you files a bug report?23:06
golinuxfiled23:06
joshbowyerthanks23:06
joshbowyeri wasnt sure if i should file a bug report for a technically non-existent package23:07
golinuxAwareness is a good thing.  Might be worth a mention in the release notes.23:08
golinuxNote I won't be making that decision.  LOL!23:08
golinuxYou mentioned "debian buster and testing" . . . Are you using "Testing" in your sources?23:09
golinuxThat would pull in packages from Bullseye and could put you in a world of hurt23:09
joshbowyerno, it has been pulled from both repos23:19
joshbowyeras in until they figure out a systemd fix, debian is no longer shipping ecryptfs-utils23:19
joshbowyerwhich is a huge deal23:19
golinuxDebian has a learning disability.  LOL!23:22
rrqjoshbowyer: apparently ecryptfs-utils (111-4) is available in devuan ascii as well as in devuan unstable and debian sid.23:29
joshbowyerand now if i want to add it manually i have to modify it to use tpm2 instead of tpm1.2 so its definitely broken atm23:32
joshbowyerguess i cant encrypt my home partition without a bunch of work haha23:32
fsmithredcryptsetup is not difficult23:39
