There are full security updates available for Chiamera. They come from the Debian repositories. So no need for downgrade to Beowulf. Unless you need a very secure setup

Have a nice day

ok so i tried burning the iso with xfburn but ran into issues and i think it was the dvd blank so im not going to try it out anymore. burning the iso to a USB drive worked and installed fine and i have been using it for a few days but im switching to beowulf because i really want the security updates. if you need me to test out the rc releases and final, ill be here.

Xfburn is already installed. You'll want to select 'Burn image'.

another question for the devuan community, If i want to burn the beta2 iso to a dvd-r what package do I need to download and what command do i use to burn the iso to the dvd. I will like to test the iso to boot from a dvd to rule out any issue for future devuaners.

ok so I downloaded beta2 iso 64bit and it works, trying it out on bare metal. Will use it as a daily driver and i'll report back if i find any issues. I do warn you I don't dual boot with any other Oses, I also only have a uefi partition and a swap partition. Thanks fsmithred for another live iso.

Many thanks for the new (beta2) .iso - will try it probably tomorrow.

EDIT: Change of plans - made time to try it - worked perfectly - (after I remembered how to with the UEFI installer ) - many thanks, chromebook now running 'beta2'.

beta2 amd64. This one booted in uefi for me. (hardware and qemu). I only booted bios in qemu, but I expect it works on hardware, too.

You're right. The amd64 desktop-live beta iso doesn't boot in uefi. I'm not sure what happened, but I just made a beta2 and it works. I will upload that and make the other three isos some time in the next day or two.

I used the 64bit iso in this directory:

Actually, I had the same problem when I tried to boot from my dd'ed pendrive on my UEFI chromebook - the same pendrive has installed to 2 other MBR 64bit computers perfectly.

Edit: Just to say that Beowulf (live desktop) installed to my chromebook before without any problems.

There are four live isos. Which one did you use?

Re: desktop-live chimaera beta isos

dummy@example.com (erick128) — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 02:50:37 +0000

no i used dd to put the iso on usb ie "sudo dd=devuan.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M && sync" and then i rebooted and then stumbled upon the issue.

The desktop-live iso should boot on uefi. The minimal-live is bios only. Image a usb thumb drive using dd or cat to the whole device (not a partition). Did you use a different method or burn an optical disk?
