I have the debug output from the pi2B, but not an active terminal - some confusion as to how/what to call it
.
cat /proc/cpuinfo  - (partial as I have to read a fuzzy tv display and type on another computer)
model;  Armv6-compatible..rev 7 (v6l)
hardware: BCM2035
.
some debug info during boot plus some other info:

notice they rename eth0 to a 'predictable network interface names'

nmcli is not in the Synataptic on another DEvuan Beowulf

did the CAT info to the udev rules  -- NO CHANGE in ifconfig -a infromation

HTH

ps. will do some more seach to turn on the debug port as a serial device
maybe I can get some dmesg  data that way

Thanks -forgot about that command - too much Winders in me - [most tools are file copy]
. a little green, still, as Linuxer - dd is a sector copy tool !!

Oh - it still didn't load on my rPi - though it seems from the list that @fsr posted above that the armhf mini.iso is for different chipset

root@Beowulff:/home/olzeke51/Documents/rPi# dd bs=4M if=armhf_mini.iso of=/dev/sdb
7+1 records in
7+1 records out
31764480 bytes (32 MB, 30 MiB) copied, 6.10179 s, 5.2 MB/s
root@Beowulff:/home/olzeke51/Documents/rPi# 

I also checked 'properties' of the CD i made and the SDcard and they both have the same byte count

**************  NOw that I thnk about it  

the rPi2 is expecting a FAT partition to boot from , then kicks in the other (ext-type??) partition !!!???

.
will give it a shot - I am on a 4 port KVM
.
.
Sound issue - someone   ..turned down the external audio, whilst napping !!! --oops

GZ

devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_beta_i386_desktop-live.iso
iirc it came from mirror  belltower.us
'
I did a new download, sha256sum ' d it, xfburn'd it (using beo 3.0.0 from yesterday's install)
got the full desktop displayed using  the default live option [from dvd]-- but mouse/keybd/time all locked up

keep me honest - golinux - thanks

I changed to pkgmaster.devuan.org 

and got these three updates:   my last update was 10-13

but I didn't do the devuan-keyring install per
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1671

so I tried to install it and got this -- [last keyring updated on 10-13!!-my last update]

olzeke51@devuan:~$ sudo apt-get install devuan-keyring
Reading package lists... Done

devuan-keyring is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

is that a bug??  I can report it if you think it is.
I would have assumed a new server would need a new keyring??

Just trying to shed a little light - on my assumption

I edited my original post with this bit of info

@r.r - you know , I was suspicious of that possibility - but too lazy to try it -
wasn't sure what the timeout was/is

@r.r  - udev/eudev warts  - I like that !!

a little looking on his website came up with this link   https://jxself.org/git/linux-libre.git

thanks @macondo
I didn't have the NOPASSWD in the sudoers file,
(fwiw - I had to 'sudo visude' to modify the file !)

AFAIK - the package maintainer/programmer deems then necessary for optimal use.

@fungus - that was

I tried this on my Jessie 1.0

olzeke51@devuan:~$ vlc v4l2://
VLC media player 2.2.6 Umbrella (revision 2.2.6-0-g1aae78981c)

and when VLC opened up it's gui - I got an error gui popup also :: with the following

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2://'. Check the log for details.

Don't know what I am doing - but hope this helps (muddy the waters??)

When you folks talk about 'testing' a distro - what do you do??
I load them and run some Internet stuff, check my audio, and a terminal, a 'notepad-type' editor.
ya' know - basic workhorse stuff  - I'm not artistic, musical

Should I be doing - graphics?, playing with different 'themes' and desktop environments?
IMO 'themes' are pretty much a ....  - I know  - Linux is about 'freedom of choice"!!
( 5 or 6 basic color combination is all that is needed )  - - it seems that about 25% of trouble tickets
are related to font size in so-and-so DE, or a panel/menu doesn't fade/overlay/align!!

Well wait a minute - Gary  :: Linux has a work side and a fun size   -- OKAY - back on track
It is a question - I want to try and help Devuan debug ascii and ceres .
TIA
