| Guest56 | Hi. Can you tell me please what are the commandline parameters to boot the netinstaller from usb or cd? | 10:32 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest56 | I know that I first have to set the root with ">set root=usb0" for example | 10:33 |
| Guest56 | Then set the kernel with the linux command, but there is no longer an install directory or a vmlinuz file like in the past... | 10:33 |
| gnarface | Guest56: you shouldn't have to do any of that. it should just boot, what are you trying to do? | 10:38 |
| gnarface | are you trying to use the grub menu instead of just changing your system boot order? | 10:40 |
| gnarface | please tell me you're not trying to use unetbootin like it's 1996 or something | 10:43 |
| gnarface | these are hybrid iso images, they'll boot by default on usb or cd with no editing | 10:43 |
| gnarface | just change your motherboard's boot order or bring up the manual boot device selection menu. it will definitely have one or both of those features. | 10:44 |
| Guest56 | gnarface I use libreboot and the automatic boot doesn't work. I booted via commandline in the past (chimaera) but now things seem to have changed. | 10:49 |
| Guest56 | #libreboot knows about this issue | 10:50 |
| gnarface | hmm, i can't imagine what would have changed about the netinstall disk between chimaera and daedalus that is affecting your grub syntax, but i do know grub names disks like this: (hd0) | 10:51 |
| gnarface | not this: usb0 | 10:51 |
| gnarface | and it has tab completion, though it's a bit slow | 10:52 |
| Guest56 | Yes disk names you can get with ls | 10:52 |
| Guest56 | But setting the kernel doesn't work, because there is no vmlinuz file | 10:52 |
| Guest56 | Normally it worked like that: linux /someinstallfolder/vmlinuz maybe_some_parameters_here | 10:54 |
| gnarface | i would think it's gotta be in there somewhere, but someone around here knows for sure | 10:58 |
| gnarface | just stick around | 10:58 |
| gnarface | hmm, i wonder if you run update-grub with it mounted if it'll just get added to the menu automatically | 10:59 |
| Guest56 | gnarface I already looked for the vmlinuz file before, but it is nowhere: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/75fd5618/ | 11:04 |
| Guest56 | *nowhere | 11:05 |
| Guest56 | Maybe it is now just: | 11:05 |
| Guest56 | boot/isolinux/linux | 11:06 |
| Guest56 | ? | 11:06 |
| rrq | yes, the kernel is /boot/isolinux/linux and its initrd is /boot/isolinux/initrd.gz | 11:06 |
| Guest56 | rrq cool thank you! :) I will try that now. | 11:08 |
| rrq | the installer will also need to mount the media, a few steps into the process | 11:12 |
| Guest912 | Hi guys. deb.devuan.org is not reachable. I just getting infinity connecting. It doesn't pinging. | 13:11 |
| spine-o-saurus | set your gateway or dns server then | 13:19 |
| onefang | deb.devuan.org is a DNS round robin of several servers, so you would be getting a random server. Got an IP address for the one not connecting? | 13:20 |
| onefang | And all of them are passing my monitoring script at the moment. | 13:20 |
| gnarface | Guest912: solve the connection issue? nobody else could reproduce... | 16:12 |
| Guest912 | After changing dns it worked. Thank you much! | 16:12 |
| gnarface | cool, no problem | 16:12 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | gnarface rrq I installed Devuan daedalus successfully thank you for your kind help! :) | 17:00 |
| gnarface | welcome aboard | 17:01 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | oh and never change the name of an encrypted volume group | 17:02 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | lol | 17:02 |
| al1r4d | hmm | 17:02 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | I just copied my old installation over usb and I used the same name for both volume groups, so it said that it is not possible to use two volume groups with the same name, even if both on diferent devices | 17:04 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | I changed the name of the vg on the new installation so I could mount the old one. I did my setup, install my packages etc. and installed two more kernels (one updated stock and one from linux-libre). After reboot it failed to find the volume group. I changed th vg name again via a live system and was suprised, that the two new kernels couldn't | 17:08 |
| Guest56TheRealOn | still find the volume group, but the old one could. So I booted with the old one, uninstalled the two new ones, reboot, and install them again and now they can find the vg too. Weird. ^^ | 17:08 |
| Guest9349 | Hi again. How can i download devuan testing ? | 21:30 |
| debdog | Guest9349: you can't. one has to install the latest stable then switch that to testing | 21:35 |
| golinux | Guest9349: Our testing release will be named Excalibur but I'm not seeing any isos yet | 21:35 |
| fsmithred | Guest9349, there are no isos for Excalibur yet. Do a minimal install of Daedalus and upgrade it. | 21:35 |
| Guest9349 | thanks ! | 21:35 |
| Guest9349 | i will try Daedalus . As i see is almost the previous testing. | 21:36 |
| golinux | Yes, was just recently released. | 21:36 |
| fsmithred | Don't be fooled by that. It's mostly debian, so it's been stable in practice for months. | 21:37 |
| Guest9349 | is the runit scripts mentioned in that post in Daedalus ? https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=41084#p41084 | 21:37 |
| fsmithred | if that post is talking about a package called runit-services, then I assume it is there. | 21:38 |
| fsmithred | oh | 21:38 |
| fsmithred | I assume it's in testing/excalibur. I know runit-services is in daedalus. | 21:39 |
| fsmithred | I think I have a VM with that installed. | 21:40 |
| Guest9349 | ok. i guess then i will try testing. | 21:44 |
| Guest9349 | thanks | 21:44 |
| fsmithred | good luck. I'm sure a lot of stuff isn't ready. | 21:45 |
| Guest9349 | Daedalus release notes say :'Rootless startx uses libseat1' I will try to start without a display server and package by package see how that works. I guess it mean seat management without elogind or consolekit.. | 22:01 |
| Guest9349 | and the 'Wayland GUI without elogind' seems to promise tha same for wayland. (i will try sway). But why it doesnt say also start X server without elogind.. strange | 22:03 |
| Guest9349 | in a fresh Daedalus installation without graphical enviroment i try to install sway it pulls elogind | 23:31 |
| Guest9349 | sorry.. i found a relative thread in the forum.. i have a look there.. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5909 | 23:33 |
| Guest9349 | 'sudo apt-get install -s elogind- sway seatd' indeed wont pull elogind but dummy-logind | 23:53 |
