I made some preliminary desktop-live isos with the updates. Please test.

I'm one. I make the live isos and maintain a few packages. Why do you ask?

I like seeing the individual core temps. Here's the line I'm using:

${execi 8 sensors | awk '/Core/ { printf substr($3,2,2)" " }'}

and the output looks like this:

Install linux-image-686-pae if you want the metapackage (so you get updated kernels with your regular package upgrades). Or else you could install linux-image-<version>-686-pae for a specific kernel.

I can only get a partial file if I try to download it with wget, even with '-c' on repeated attempts. It downloads a few hundred MB and then stalls saying "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..."  That's the first time I've run into this problem on sourceforge.

I finally tried it from the browser and got the whole thing.

It boots in qemu. Nice work. I like that first menu with WM choices and settings. Good idea.

This will build the mini.iso(s). Look at the suites/beowulf branch. I'm pretty sure that one is most current.

This will build the installer isos. (netinstall, CDs, DVD)
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/installer-iso

I haven't used either of the above, so I have no idea what you need to change for ceres.

Refractainstaller and live-sdk make isos for live-CD, DVD, USB.

There are a few ways to fix this, and you should not have to make /boot/grub/ manually. I would be interested to see the whole installer log. You could send it to me at gmail or email through the forum.

Method 1. Boot the live media, chroot the installed system and install grub-pc. Make sure it runs update-grub and creates grub.cfg.

I left a bunch of steps out. Let me know if you want them. This is what I tend to do when grub screws up.

Method 2. Boot the live media and as root run apt update and apt install grub-pc. You need at least 2G of RAM to do this.

When it asks you where to put the bootloader, do not install the bootloader at this time.

Then install the system again the way you want. Instead of seeing the Copy Files button, there will be a button that says Install Bootloader. Choose that one and tell it where to put grub. (MBR of /dev/sda)

P.S. There's a label on the printer with a date that says 1995.

Sometimes mirrors fail because they are in the process of updating. The solution, as you discovered, is to try again later.

You can check the status of the mirrors here: https://borta.devuan.dev/apt-panopticon … t-web.html

The far right column will tell if it's not finished updating. The column that tells how often the mirror updates might not be accurate.

Try archive.devuan.org for jessie packages.

Use this in sources.list

deb http://archive.devuan.org/merged jessie main

Or go here if you want to download our forked packages. Note that pool is in /devuan but not /merged.
http://archive.devuan.org/devuan/pool/

I'm not sure if debian has archived jessie yet. Back at the end of June when it was supposed to be done, they delayed it.

I think this is a howto for setting up amprolla locally. It's in Spanish. I know for a fact that aitor is running amprolla to merge his own packages in gnuinos.

Yes, you are on beowulf. And I can see the screenshot.

Oh, I just discovered that the width of the netload plugin bars chages depending on which theme is set in Appearance.

FWIW: They're wide with the cinnabar and darkpurpy themes and narrow with the plain Clearlooks theme. Presence or absence of gtk2/3-engines-xfce makes no difference.

Wide with clearlooks-phenix-theme, too, so it's something we inherited.

I don't know what the deal is with google. Maybe they expected me to log in to see the image. I did allow javascript for all the sites that noscript listed.

Some of us use transfersh.com for sharing images. I'm happy with anything that doesn't require javascript.

That's really weird that you get it on the cpugraph-plugin. Are you sure you're on beowulf and not chimaera/ceres?
