| mason | Hrm. FWIW, I just got a chance to test a Beowulf migrateion again, as a system freed up. Fresh Debian install, updated to latest Buster, sidegraded using the normal instructions. Nothing surprising happened. | 04:49 |
|---|---|---|
| mason | migration* | 04:49 |
| onefang | https://sledjhamr.org/devuan-cd/devuan_beowulf/desktop-live/README.desktop-live.txt The readme for the Beowulf desktop live ISO. I just noticed it says "This is Devuan 3.0 Beowulf desktop-live edition", though 3.1.1 is the only version there. I hope the rest of that readme isn't out of date. | 08:10 |
| onefang | Well it seems the part that talks about the non-free stuff is out of date. Friend of mine is looking for something he can install that needs non-free for his WiFi, and he says it's not there in 3.1.1, despite that README saying it is. | 08:28 |
| fsmithred | onefang, did your friend say what's missing? Everything in that list is still there. | 10:53 |
| onefang | It's that Korgi guy you where chatting with in #devuan. He's got it installed by "Using the right .iso file apparently. Feel kind of silly now...the correct one to use was linked too right on the main page, it's the live installer here: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/". | 10:54 |
| onefang | I blame him. lol | 10:54 |
| fsmithred | any guesses why the installer iso could not mount his root partition in rescue mode? | 10:55 |
| fsmithred | I thought he needed iwlwifi. That is included in all the isos. | 10:56 |
| onefang | If it's that part of his install attempts I think you are talking about, ho had wiped out his partitions with gparted before the "where do you want to install" step, and he was expecting an "just install all over the existing blank disk" option. | 10:57 |
| fsmithred | I thought he finished the install. He commented about xfce-4.16 | 10:58 |
| onefang | He tried several times. | 10:58 |
| onefang | He even tried one of the refracta. | 10:59 |
| fsmithred | I had him boot in rescue mode to add network-manager | 10:59 |
| onefang | THEN we figured out he could do what he needed with Beowulf and adding the winehq Buster repo. Someone else on Discord had done that. | 11:00 |
| fsmithred | what problem was he having with the installs? | 11:00 |
| onefang | WiFi not working mostly. | 11:01 |
| fsmithred | ok, the problem with the chimaera installer isos is that wicd no longer exists and we need to fix dependencies so that some network gui gets installed. | 11:02 |
| fsmithred | so you can do a wireless install, but then you're stuck connecting manually when you reboot. | 11:02 |
| fsmithred | the beowulf desktop-live should have worked for him. | 11:04 |
| onefang | That's what I thought, but it didn't. shrugs | 11:05 |
| tuxd3v | hello there are some problems I don't know if they can be replicated in i686 or amd64, I tested on armhf, but the package is for all archs.. | 20:49 |
| tuxd3v | https://paste.debian.net/hidden/67c189ea/ | 20:49 |
| tuxd3v | the update alternatives section produces errors | 20:49 |
| tuxd3v | wireless-regdb_2020.04.29-2~bpo10+1_all.deb | 20:49 |
