I didn't find that in 'man cal'. It came from a bug report. The man page leads one to believe that those options work with cal. Not all of them do.

These work for me in chimaera.

ncal -b

These isos replace the July 21 alpha isos that were there. Newer kernel, some newer software since then, added rfkill and ceni. setnet.sh is still there, but is also still the old version.

Also, I added a uefi-compatible minimal-live iso. It will actually work on bios or uefi, same as the desktop-live amd64 iso.

I think fstab should say '/dev/mapper/azura-dawn' instead of '/dev/azura/dawn'. Did the installer do that? Did you do automatic or manual partitioning?

tasksel --list-tasks

does not show me a task for standard system utilities. I don't know anything about the --new-install option.

aptitude search ~pstandard

shows me a list of 36 packages with priority Standard in chimaera. (it was 62 in beowulf)

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.

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

I'm not sure I understand the question. Right now, debian and devuan are out of sync with respect to "stable" and "testing". Chimaera will move to stable and be officially released when we fix a few issues with the isos and get the documentation written. After that happens, I expect work will begin on the next release.

It should be a matter of a few weeks, not a few months.

But as usual, bottom line is "When it's ready."

Lars, yes if you can test it again that would be good, and if possible get a screenshot or two of the partitioning scheme. Thanks.

So, the copy of refractainstaller-yad that I hacked into the desktop-live iso was an older version that I modified. Oops. It'll still work.

Right one is here and will be in the next build.

Maintainer says he has no idea but will give it some thought. Also "colord-insane is a wrath upon us since the beginning."

I can't figure out what colord does. I have libcolord2 on the two systems I checked, but not colord. One of those systems is chimaera with runit, and I have made bootable isos from that system using refractasnapshot. Maybe removing colord will fix it.

Wow. I'm stumped. The chimaera snapshot iso boots in vbox in beowulf but not in chimaera?
Things to try:

Boot the iso in chimaera using qemu. You might need more that 1024mb of RAM.
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -cdrom snapshot.iso

Add 'set -x' to the top of /etc/init.d/saned to see if you get more information from the script.

There is no init script for colord, but there is a systemd service file. I don't know if the lack of an init script is the problem. Was there ever one for colord?

Not sure what to do with this. I'll ping jaromil. He's the maintainer of colord.

apt-file find colord-sane
colord: /usr/lib/colord/colord-sane       
colord: /usr/libexec/colord-sane
