I just looked at the Devuan website, and it's still showing jessie as using auto.mirror.devuan.org.

auto.mirror.devuan.org is still the default repository because there has never been a point release for jessie and that is the repository used on the isos.

This note is also on the website (in several places):

IMPORTANT NOTE: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be decommissioned. Please make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring package with apt-get install devuan-keyring and then point your /etc/apt/sources.list to deb.devuan.org.

Oh.

I'm not sure how this correlates with and affects Devuan, but Debian made some changes to their Jessie repositories...

Hi Ron. To be honest, I don't know. I would imagine that it could, but I don't know how. I'm sorry.

In fact, I'm no longer using that notifier...I'm using a version of it that I modified. See this thread starting at this link...

#435 Re: Devuan Derivatives » MiyoLinux Portable » 2019-04-21 20:20:32

No apology needed HoaS. I appreciate your help greatly.

While the delay during the live session certainly isn't ideal, the installed system doesn't have the delay. I think that those who asked for the builds understand the issue and are okay with it. smile

Thanks again!

Which method are you using to build the images?

I'm sorry, my last response showed up before I saw your last response...if that makes sense. smile  To answer your question...

1. I start with a netinstall and only install the base system.
2. After installation of the base system, I reboot and install only the packages that I want for the system that I'm creating.
3. After creating the system, I use refractasnapshot to create the .iso.

#437 Re: Devuan Derivatives » MiyoLinux Portable » 2019-04-20 19:58:49

Let me add...

I'm very thankful for the help, and I hope my kidding around wasn't taken the wrong way.

The "Debian Testing" versions are made by request and aren't part of my normal releases. I only made them to try and help users. While the delay during the boot process isn't ideal, it isn't a deal-breaker on my end. I let that situation be known to those who have requested it. Luckily, the delay isn't a problem after installation.

Thank you HoaS...for trying to help figure this out. I most certainly appreciate your time and knowledge.

Was the error message the same for both images?

Check the output of my journalctl command for both.

I'm a bit busy at the moment but try a rebuild again later.

Hi HoaS.

Unfortunately, I can't check both. I did run your listed command in the live session, but nothing stood out to me.

I haven't uploaded the 32 bit version yet, so it's not available for observation...it may be a day or two before I upload it.

I don't consider these Debian Testing builds as official MiyoLinux releases...they were built at the request of single users, and in my attempt to help folks, I've ventured beyond my comfort zone. smile  tongue

It's probably something that I'm doing wrong. LOL!!! tongue

That appears to be caused by /lib/live/config/0040-sudo, specifically this line:

       sudo -u "${LIVE_USERNAME}" sh -c "echo 'SU_TO_ROOT_SU=sudo' >> /home/${LIVE_USERNAME}/.su-to-rootrc"

I just tried unpacking your ISO, commenting the line then repacking the image and it then boots without error (in QEMU).

No idea why it causes the problem but the systemd journal helped me find it smile

For the record:

journalctl -u live-config

LOLOLOL!

WHEW! Okay...where to begin?

Since the release of the Miyo-Modern Debian Testing version (which I made for one individual), I was asked to make a 32 bit version of Miyo-Modern Debian Testing. Oy!

Taking HoaS's advice into account, I built the .iso twice...once without commenting out that line, and once with the line commented out.

By commenting out that line, the start job still ran in the live session; however, its time was cut in half...about 2-3 minutes before booting into the desktop...as opposed to 5-7 minutes.

To fsmithred (if this is helpful to you),
In order to get the GUI for the locale, keyboard layout, etc., I also had to add libgtk3-perl...libgtk2-perl wasn't enough for some reason.

LOL! smile

Hey...it stinkin' worked! big_smile  I'm writing this from it now. wink

Background info...

Host Computer:
2006 Sony Vaio 32 bit

Basic inxi info about the host computer:
CPU~Dual core Intel T2060 (-MCP-)
speed/max~1067/1600 MHz
Mem~995.3MB

The USB used:
8GB Sandisk Cruiser USB-2.0

Installed system:
MiyoLinux (codenamed Addy) i686

Refracta Tools:
refractainstaller-base: 9.4.2
refractainstaller-gui: 9.4.2
refractasnapshot-base: 10.1.1

What I did...

1. Booted from the USB and chose the load to RAM option.
2. Left the USB inserted.
3. When it reached the desktop, I opened gparted and...

a) deleted the .iso from the USB and applied it.
b) created a Partition Table (msdos) on the USB and applied it.
c) created an ext4 file system on the entire USB and applied it.

4. During installation, I allowed the installer to create a swap file.

Worked like a charm! Thanks fsr!

ALL HAIL FSR!!! smile

Miyo, if you really want to live on the edge, boot to ram and install to the same usb you booted from. Then there's no confusion about which one is the target. smile

I knew part of the "blah, blah, blah" in the start job line had to do with live-config, but just to be honest, I don't know enough about systemd to even know to look at journald. wink  tongue

Hi Tobyb1906! Thank you so much for the kind words here and on Sourceforge; I truly appreciate it!

Regarding the Debian Testing version. That was made at the request of a user and probably a one-time build. When you say that it gets stuck at loading the wireless, are you speaking about this message during the boot process?

IPv6 ...blah...blah...blah... enp3so: link is not ready

Which is immediately followed by...

A start job is running ...blah...blah...blah... no time limit

If that is what you're referring to, just be patient, and it will eventually boot into the desktop. You may not have seen it, but I left a note on the download page to warn people to expect a +/- 5 minute delay while that start job is running. During one of my test installs on one computer, it took almost 7 minutes. yikes  But, it eventually got there. LOLOL!!!

That's just during the live session...it boots normally after installation.

Those start jobs are one of the "benefits" of systemd. LOLOLOL!!!  tongue

Thanks again!

Aw man...wish I'd thought of the green hat! You better know I'd have worn it! LOL!

As for my obvious above-average expertise in the production of high-quality music recordings in my videos, it's pretty in-depth stuff...

1. A kid's plastic toy guitar.
2. A homemade guitar pick made from the lid of a Chlorox Disinfecting Wipes container.
3. A cheap Logitech Webcam/Microphone combo (used for recording sound) connected via USB port.
