Something similar happens to me

But with Spanish on the AMD64 DESKTOP ISO

A lot of text with a common word: _ERR_

Hello friends,
I know maybe there is some guide for it, but is there any example script or package to build a package that is needed?
For example I would like to build a package for SeaMonkey, Scribus, without breaking my system because of source.list dependencies

Hi friends!

I have installed Devuan Daedalus on my new computer and I have observed that the Scribus package for Daedalus does not exist, exist an alternative repo without compromising or breaking the system due to dependencies?

ISO Desktop amd64
Does this mean that the installer problem is solved? 😭🎊🎁🎉🎈

#5 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] deb.devuan.org & pkgmaster.devuan.org » 2022-07-23 18:10:35

I always use: (deb http://devuan.packet-gain.de/merged)

But I want to clarify something, I currently use daedalus and it works very well.

I replaced deb.devuan.org with pkgmaster.devuan.org a few days ago in my amprolla config files, and everything is working as expected since then.

Doing that works for you but will slow down the syncing of our mirrors and cause more timeouts for everyone else.  sad There are also some changes that are in the process of being sorted.

I'm trying again with deb.devuan.org

What happened with package synaptic in daedalus?

I remember that this package did exist in the daedalus repositories.

#8 Re: Installation » [solved] upgrade the installation to ceres or daedalus » 2022-07-02 19:40:59

Do you have a repo where you store an image of devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview older than the one that is failing? sad

Daedalus /ceres

Thanks, my confusion started when I read the kernel information that comes in Daedalus in Distrowatch
sorry for my lack of information

#10 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Existential doubt » 2022-04-17 19:49:20

Thanks for your quick answer.

If I wanted to update Devuan with kernel 5.16, is there currently a repository with this package?

golinux wrote:

It does.

The canonical answer is here:
https://www.devuan.org/os/releases

And here:
https://files.devuan.org/ (or from your favorite mirror)

If DEVUAN walks parallel with Debian bullseye, why doesn't the same thing happen with DEBIAN testing/unstable y Daedalus/Ceres?

Hi my friends,

I just installed Daedalus on virtualbox, but it stuck on black screen. When I manage to put it in console it shows an error that does not start the network interface.

Do I have to take an additional step?

Thanks

#13 Re: Devuan » Test Testing version » 2021-11-30 18:45:34

Thank you very much for your guide @golinux.
I really like this distribution.

golinux wrote:

@ndavilam . . . Devuan does not provide an official way to contribute a "PPA".  However sometimes users will share their builds on the "Off-topic" section of this forum.  For example, in this thread https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3331 tdrnetworks is providing up-to-date php builds without systemd.

But also check the daedalus and ceres repositories.  The latest shiny FF might be there.

#14 Re: Devuan » Test Testing version » 2021-10-27 13:20:58

Hi again @golinux,

First, excuse me to change the subject a bit.
Since we are talking about packages, currently Firefox and Thunderbird are at version 78.
How can I contribute builds from newer versions, like 91.

golinux wrote:

Those are packages with systemd dependency that are prevented from installing.  Those systemd-dependent packages that are essential for Devuan are forked by Devuan devs.  Devuan-specific as well as forked packages are found here.

If there is a package on that list that you want, you are welcome to  contribute to Devuan by forking it.

#16 Re: Devuan » Test Testing version » 2021-10-26 18:54:13

Thanks for your help,
But these packages are rebuilt without dependency on systemd or will they never appear in Devuan?
Sorry for my ignorance.

Thanks for your support

I recently pushed the code of the live-sdk used for the builds of gnuinos to git:

https://gitea.devuan.dev/aitor_czr/live-sdk/

I added some dialogs in order to do the Simple Distro Kit more user-friendly, but i'm still working on the README.md file.

As a quick start:

1) Clone the git repository:

$ git clone https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/live-sdk.git

2) Install the build dependencies:

# apt-get install zsh cgpt xz-utils gzip schroot debootstrap curl rsync squashfs-tools sudo debmirror \
reprepro wget xorriso isolinux rpl dialog sed cpio syslinux grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-ia32-bin

3) Go to the parent directory and run (as root):

$ cd live-sdk
$ sudo su
# zsh -f
# source sdk
# load

Now, some dialogs will ask you for your needs. In order to avoid issues related with the already existent blends and possible missing packages, choose the following options for your first attempt:

  • Operating system: Gnuinos

  • Blend: gnuinos-ob/gnuinos-ob.blend  (or whatever you want)

  • Release: stable

  • Sections: main

  • Architecture: i386

  • Flavor: 686

4) At this point you can build the system by running:

# build_iso_dist

But i recommend you to use the mainmenu dialog instead:

# mainmenu

and run each step one by one in the same order they appear (have a look at the image attached in the README.md file):

https://gitea.devuan.dev/aitor_czr/live … inmenu.png

Quote: if you are under x86_64, then you can choose either i386 or amd64 architectures

Hope this helps smile

I would like to test devuan daedalus.
This version still has packages with SystemD?

#19 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Build EL Distro based on Devuan, Help! » 2020-07-15 01:47:35

Thank you all.
I am starting a small business and my idea is to have a stable and secure distribution (EL) with SysVinit.

I currently use Debian (It is my second favorite linux distro, but I don't like SystemD / I also hate Snap / Flatpak), I am a developer but I have no experience in building a linux distribution, for this reason I am looking for help with you.

But being honest the first option is Slackware.

The final idea is to have a fork of Debi (vu) an (sysvinit) as Servers and Slackware for the other users

#20 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Build EL Distro based on Devuan, Help! » 2020-07-14 01:07:44

I cannot access these tools.
Do you know of any document how they did the process of removing systemd and replacing it with sysvinit

Hello friends.
I would like you to help me with a guide on how to make a EL Distribution base on Devuan (Testing) like RHEL, but I want to add kernel 5.6.

I am starting a business and I know it reads a little crazy, but I would like to try it and have my offices use this distribution.

What do I need, what tools do I need to start this long journey.
