| raidensnake | hey does anyone know why the mirrors are throwing errors trying to download packages? | 04:28 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | raidensnake: it might be normal to get spurious errors while mirrors get updated | 04:39 |
| onefang | Can you be more specific? Any particular mirror? Any particular packages? | 04:40 |
| raidensnake | it's saying error connecting to the UK mirror. | 04:42 |
| raidensnake | and when I look for any known package like lxde or nano it says unable to locate package even after doing apt-get update | 04:43 |
| onefang | Devuan doesn't have a UK mirror. | 04:45 |
| raidensnake | the server us using them auto mirror in the etc/apt/sources.list | 04:45 |
| raidensnake | http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged is what's listed | 04:46 |
| gnarface | raidensnake: try changing auto.mirrot to just deb | 04:47 |
| gnarface | auto.mirror* | 04:48 |
| gnarface | it should be deb.devuan.org | 04:48 |
| gnarface | and remember to run "apt-get update" after making changes to that file | 04:48 |
| raidensnake | same problem | 04:53 |
| raidensnake | I even tried my 4G data connection and get the same problem | 04:53 |
| raidensnake | even when updating it it still fails to find packages | 05:02 |
| onefang | Just as a test try sledjhamr.org instead of deb.devuan.org. That's my mirror in Netherlands. | 05:03 |
| onefang | deb http://sledjhamr.org/devuan/merged ascii main contrib non-free | 05:04 |
| raidensnake | that server worked. | 05:06 |
| raidensnake | and it's close to me | 05:06 |
| onefang | deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main contrib non-free | 05:06 |
| onefang | Is that what you had before? | 05:07 |
| raidensnake | yes | 05:07 |
| raidensnake | and it failed to locate any packages | 05:07 |
| onefang | OK, stick with sledjhamr then, and I'll have a poke at the mirror system in a little bit. | 05:07 |
| raidensnake | when I did for example "apt-get install lxde" it said "unable to locate package lxde" | 05:08 |
| onefang | It might just be what ever mirror you where being redirected to is down. | 05:08 |
| raidensnake | that's after I did apt-get update | 05:08 |
| raidensnake | also what I want to do as well is do a debootstrap install or arm64 for my pi 4 | 05:10 |
| gnarface | raidensnake: always try twice, in case you just got unlucky | 05:10 |
| raidensnake | I did | 05:10 |
| raidensnake | I tried several times | 05:10 |
| gnarface | ok just making sure | 05:10 |
| raidensnake | can this distro be chroot installed? | 05:11 |
| gnarface | sure | 05:11 |
| raidensnake | I ask this as I need to run the older jessie for arm64 to recompile some packages fro0m the raspberry pi repo for arm64 but will only work in jessie. | 05:12 |
| raidensnake | I have to debootstrap the install to the SD card | 05:13 |
| rrq | note that on Sundays at 02:27 UTC, a full update of merged Contents files starts, making the whole mirroring infrastructure a bit brittle for a while .. should be fine by now I suppose. | 05:14 |
| gnarface | someone managed to make trivial changes to the rpi3 image just fyi and boot it | 05:14 |
| raidensnake | yeah well I prefer doing a clean install. | 05:14 |
| gnarface | that's fine | 05:15 |
| gnarface | you'll have to do some extra steps i'm not sure about | 05:15 |
| gnarface | to do with the firmware and boot config and such | 05:15 |
| raidensnake | I have all that prepared | 05:16 |
| raidensnake | also I have the latest kernel that fixes the 4GB error. | 05:16 |
| furrywolf | hopefully we can make the beowulf installer actually find firmware like the installation instructions say it should, unlike ascii's where I always have to mount the removable media and copy the firmware manually. | 05:16 |
| raidensnake | I compiled the arm64 kernel. | 05:17 |
| raidensnake | I even patched the v3d support patch into it | 05:18 |
| raidensnake | meaning it can use mesa kms | 05:18 |
| gnarface | neat | 05:19 |
| raidensnake | if I used this mirror to bootsatrap the install | 05:20 |
| raidensnake | bootstrap* | 05:20 |
| raidensnake | what's the mirrir path do I use? | 05:21 |
| raidensnake | sorry mirror path* | 05:22 |
| onefang | Same path I mentioned above. SledjHamr.org is an official Devuan mirror. | 05:22 |
| raidensnake | this is the command I have | 05:23 |
| raidensnake | qemu-debootstrap --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --arch arm64 jessie /mnt/sdb2 http://sledjhamr.org/devuan/merged | 05:24 |
| onefang | I dunno about qemu-debootstrap. | 05:24 |
| gnarface | shouldn't it be just /merged instead of /devuan/merged? | 05:25 |
| gnarface | does it matter? | 05:25 |
| raidensnake | that's cause the host is 64-bit | 05:25 |
| gnarface | is the host arm? | 05:25 |
| onefang | It's /devuan/merged on my mirror, coz I have other things there to. | 05:25 |
| onefang | For example https://sledjhamr.org/mantisbt/ is the Mantis BT based issue tracker on my server. https://sledjhamr.org/devuan/devuan-cd/ is my Devuan ISO mirror, and there's many other things on my server. So https://sledjhamr.org/devuan/merged/ is my Devuan package mirror. | 05:35 |
| onefang | Or http variants. B-) | 05:35 |
| raidensnake | I can't bootstrap the arm64. | 05:40 |
| raidensnake | it says files are missing | 05:40 |
| rrq | raidensnake: yes, some arm64 packages aren't there .. not sure why. is it possible to mix with say armhf packages? | 06:09 |
| raidensnake | bo | 06:30 |
| raidensnake | no they won't work | 06:30 |
| raidensnake | they have to be compiled manually. | 06:30 |
| rrq | mmm just 120 of'em ... | 06:36 |
| raidensnake | it's missing bash | 07:20 |
| raidensnake | that's why bootstrap doesn't work | 07:20 |
| raidensnake | I found out why I can't download packages | 08:39 |
| raidensnake | the merged repo has a bad path | 08:40 |
| raidensnake | it doesn't have a pool/Debian folder. | 08:40 |
| raidensnake | that's where it's trying to look | 08:40 |
| raidensnake | the pool folder in devuan has the files but the merged repo path doesn't | 08:41 |
| raidensnake | it's like the merged has the package list and the devuan has the files | 08:42 |
| raidensnake | but neither are being linked. | 08:42 |
| rrq | the debian packages are normally in debian's pool, but for some reason many arm64 are missing. | 08:47 |
| rrq | some are found manually at http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool | 08:47 |
| rrq | you might make progress by copying from there into /var/cache/apt/archive on the /target | 08:47 |
| raidensnake | tried that... | 08:48 |
| raidensnake | there's nothing in there. | 08:48 |
| rrq | nothing? | 08:48 |
| raidensnake | what I'm ultimately trying to do is recompile the raspberry desktop packages to arm64 but there are packages that only existed on jessie they rely on. | 08:49 |
| raidensnake | I tried newer branches but they wouldn't work | 08:51 |
| rrq | right. When I debootstrap (devuan) jessie, it complains about 120 missing deb's. THe first few I've looked for, I have found at http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool | 08:52 |
| rrq | eg bash_4.3-11+deb8u1_arm64.deb | 08:53 |
| rrq | I grab that, and copy to /var/cache/apt/archive/ on the target, and then the next debootstrap finds it and is happy with it | 08:54 |
| rrq | thus, the idea would be to do 120 repeats with variations of that to eventually make debotstrap happy enough to actually install | 08:56 |
| raidensnake | the only option is to pull the stretch arm64 files | 09:12 |
| raidensnake | to fix it | 09:12 |
| raidensnake | also as well even if I use the pi 3 image I can't do a package upgrade as it can't find the files it's looking for. | 09:23 |
| rrq | is it in option to debootstrap ascii, and then manually add those deb that you need to compile with | 09:25 |
| drizzt | hi ! | 13:54 |
| drizzt | maybe wait a day or two to get the repo fixed ? | 13:55 |
| drizzt | or report the repo issue to the repo maintainers ? | 13:55 |
| drizzt | and for the debootstrap, if your host arch is not the same as the target arch, instead of using qemu version you can use the --foreign option of debootstrap | 13:56 |
| drizzt | it does the first stage (download and unpack) but runs nothing | 13:57 |
| drizzt | then boot on the target (using /bin/bash as init) and manualy mount /dev (if not done by kernel), /proc, /sys and /dev/pts and reun debootstrap with --second-stage option on target | 13:59 |
| TwistedFate | drizzt: if there's an issue with the repo, it might be best to report it as soon as possible :) | 14:03 |
| TwistedFate | hi btw | 14:03 |
| dasdf | Is FDE broken? I have installed my devuan system with fde but whenever i shut it down i get "sda5_crypt busy..." and then some errors before it shuts down. | 14:34 |
| buZz | works the same as on debian | 14:34 |
| dasdf | So the error is safe to ignore? | 14:38 |
| buZz | what errors did you get? | 14:39 |
| dasdf | i don't know, it shuts down too quickly and i can't find it in logs. | 14:39 |
| buZz | you could videotape your screen ;) | 14:39 |
| dasdf | lol | 14:40 |
| MinceR | for me, it says that a couple of times, but eventually shuts down | 14:41 |
| buZz | maybe run 'sync' before you do poweroff? :) | 14:42 |
| fsmithred | dasdf, there's a fix for that. I'll find the link. | 14:52 |
| dasdf | ty | 14:52 |
| dasdf | i've tried my best at finding one | 14:52 |
| dasdf | but i dunno, the clostest think i found was someone on stackexchange and noone there mentioned a fix | 14:52 |
| fsmithred | https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=16284#p16284 | 14:53 |
| fsmithred | there are two fixes mentioned | 14:53 |
| fsmithred | one for just encrypted, one for lvm | 14:54 |
| fsmithred | it seems to be safe to do both | 14:54 |
| fsmithred | dasdf, that was a discussion about beowulf. This might be better: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=11522#p11522 | 14:56 |
| dasdf | ty man i'll give this a try | 14:57 |
| fr33domlover | o/ | 15:19 |
| fr33domlover | How do I create an encrypted volume in the devuan installer? | 15:20 |
| fr33domlover | The debian textual "expert install" lets me create an encrypted volume, then LVM inside it | 15:20 |
| fr33domlover | But devuan doesn't seem to give that option, the partition layout part does have a "space reserved for encryption" option, only a RAID one | 15:21 |
| * fr33domlover chooses to manually load the dm-crypt modules, looks like this is going to solve the problem | 15:25 | |
| fsmithred | fr33domlover, the devuan install is the debian installer | 15:26 |
| fsmithred | here's a video showing how: http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/misc/partition_encrypt-4.ogv | 15:27 |
| fr33domlover | fsmithred, yeah I just mean the debian installer has the encrypted LVM options there by default (at least in expert install mode), while in the devuan installer I need to manually choose to load the dm-crypt module and then it seems to behave the same | 15:27 |
| fsmithred | something is wrong | 15:27 |
| fsmithred | it should be there | 15:28 |
| fr33domlover | fsmithred, it's always been like this for me in all the times I installed devuan | 15:28 |
| fsmithred | not for me. I've never had to manually load dm-crypt | 15:28 |
| fsmithred | what iso are you using? | 15:28 |
| fr33domlover | fsmithred, official devuan ascii dvd1 | 15:29 |
| fr33domlover | textual "expert install" | 15:30 |
| fsmithred | yeah, that's what I usually do | 15:30 |
| fsmithred | btw, the video is for encrypted partition without lvm | 15:30 |
| dasdf | nice | 17:09 |
| dasdf | it worked | 17:09 |
