I just install a standard system, back it up then create the subvolume layout as desired and rsync the backup to the new layout.

The fstab and bootloader need correcting afterwards but it works:

empty@E485:~ $ grep '/ ' /proc/self/mounts                                               
/dev/nvme0n1p3 / btrfs rw,relatime,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=257,subvol=/debian 0 0
empty@E485:~ $

Yes, I did. Oops. Sorry OP.

Ha! Serves you right for giving money to those NVIDIA bastards.

Perhaps if you post the converted script here somebody will be able to debug it.

But I have zero experience with sysvinit scripts so I probably won't be much help (sorry).

Write your own wrapper script for the command, perhaps?

Something like this at /usr/local/bin/systemctl:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
   start) service "$2" start ;;
   stop) service "$2" stop ;;
esac

Doesn't look like it, the X.Org log shows that nouveau is being attempted.

And if you could edit your post containing that and enclose it in code tags (rather than the quote tags you have used) that would make this thread *much* more readable, thanks.

To install the headers and the rest of the build tools use

# apt install module-assistant
# m-a prepare

Then try installing the nvidia-driver package again, you should see the custom kernel module being built afterwards.

Did you install the kernel headers as well as the nvidia-driver package? Did the module build successfully during the installation?

Is nouveau blacklisted?

grep -R nouveau /etc/modprobe.d

I think the proprietary drivers still need an X.Org configuration file for ASCII but you don't need nvidia-xconfig, the file is pretty simple:

The Debian version only supplies /lib/systemd/system/tomcat9.service, which won't work with sysvinit (obviously).

You could try the sysd2v-0.3.sh conversion script, that might work: http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v/

EDIT: they're up to v-0.3 now.

No it doesn't, fw_update(1) is run automatically on first boot of a new system and that downloads any firmware blobs required by the hardware and loads it.

I can't speak for the developers but fsmithred has just released the first beowulf beta for Refracta so the release is approaching.

^ Thanks, it works in my buster GNOME desktop :-)

Works well in QEMU/KVM, great work!

How do you make the images so small? I use live-build for my images and they're twice the size, even for just an openbox desktop.

And can I steal your firemenu? That's a brilliant idea

Might be better to use a case statement for the find_editor function though, it will be parsed quicker than the elifs.
