Really good news [1].
E.g.:
A paravirt RAP violation got fixed as well:

And that's Devuan's own Parazyd contributing there smile

Yet more to say, but no more time. Learn (if you need to), and of course: enjoy!

[1] Well, the level of the geniuses spender and PaX Team was too high for even Linus the Mr. Linux guy... But Minipli, parazyd and friends seem to be doing well...
I have been using minipli's unofficial-grsec since around the time of creation of the repo, and I for one, can tell you it is good, it protected me well!!

Pls., find all in the script at:
https://github.com/miroR/grsec-dev1-compile
There is the config, with all modules just as the usual Devuan/Debian kernels at:
https://croatiafidelis.hr/gnu/deb/ (all there old, just the:
https://croatiafidelis.hr/gnu/deb/confi … l+grsec.gz
and
https://croatiafidelis.hr/gnu/deb/confi … +grsec.sig
are new)
but all is now much closer for even newbies.
Will try and post more about it, in the next post(s)...

I installed openrc in ascii today after I got the deb packages from Svante. I see you already uploaded them. I did, too - http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/openrc/

Great that users now have more than one place to go for these packages!

Here's what I did, in a nutshell:

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed  main

Download debs:

[ they're in both locations ]

Run these commands in the following order.

apt-get update
apt-get -t ascii-proposed install sysvinit-core
dpkg -i libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
apt-get -t ascii-proposed download sysvinit-utils

But this one:

dpkg -i sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2_amd64.deb \

That one is in the repos, no need to download it from either of our places, and anyway it is not in either CroatiaFidelis.hr nor ibiblio.org, that one above...

CORRECTION...Aaah... I see. You wrote above:

...
apt-get -t ascii-proposed download sysvinit-utils

and of course, your instructions are correct. Had to post quickly. Still busy, sorry again!

    util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
apt-get -t ascii-proposed install initscripts
apt-get install openrc

The FiraSans font was dropped last year.  I never liked it because it was 'unreliable' and the spacing was strange.

I looked at it, and reported it (whichever fonts that those were --days now since--) as undecryptable (I would --if I had time any time soon-- be willing to place it openly for analysis in public; remembering back: those fonts were nominally gzip, but weren't gunzip'able... )

"I would --if I had time..." I wrote, because I'm a little downcast from the recent thread on The Devuan DNG Mailing List, were I may have  digressed on two pages too many, but there are points, related to Devuan that remain to be asked/said, related, related. Yes, related to Devuan, and do have some points in there...

A little downcast, and worked less, and am late with things. So... I don't have time soon for that...

But I do believe that the logo was created by reorienting FiraSans characters.  The fonts currently used on the site are OpenSans and SourceCodePro. You can see the source here.

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-editors/d … /css/fonts

*edit* As to fonts on this forum . . . they could probably use some revision.

I did look up the sources... But I was talking about fonts, from Google (apparently FiraSans was from Google, and isn't linked anymore from Dev1Galaxy, IIU you C), nominally gzip'ed but which can not be gunzip'ed from the network trace, or dump whichever word you like better.

The fact is that browsing Dev1Galaxy my Palemoon linked to Google, and downloaded fonts these few days ago... Not last year.

While I surely don't like anything Google, I don't impose my dislike to anybody. But it must be decryptable, anything that I get from Google, because Google is a known intruder into people's machine. It's proven to be such. (If citation is missing, allow time.)

There is the caveat to the above report of mine, that I'm not an expert, and lots of things are missing in my understanding.

The dump could have errors itself (but not in three-four or more places, where I found gzip'd but not gunzip'able fonts... )...

It could be some finesse in the way those are gzip'ed... And I would need to ask, say people on Wireshark, about it...

But for now, due to lack of time, I suggest to leave this matter for now.

If, the next time I analyze traffic from Dev1Galaxy, I find things undecryptable that should be decryptable, I'll upload them, likely to:
https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr/foss/cap/
under a new dir with the timestamp of the day, and link to it from here.

In this topic. That may happen weeks, or months from now!

What I like is the openness when we face potential problems, and I congratulate you for that!

True openness in the face of problems means that  Devuan is living up to the declared standards.

And I'm not going to repeat that information. And neither is that info nominally meant for Air-Gap/cloning. But it's the same/similar thing that I do and achieve as what that method does and achieves!

But it's even less that is really needed. Aarggghhh, tired a little... But let me complete this topic with the last bit of stamina lest after a long work on my installs...

All that you need to copy from the clone which you got the deb packages from is

  • /var/cache/apt/archives/

yes, only the archives/ folder

  • /var/lib/apt/lists/

yes, only the lists/ folder

  • reproduce the exact same commands that you did on the clone

Only those. Because Devuan is not like Windows where you can't clone it to another HDD in another same MBO machine, because Billy the moral robber of the world couldn't resist to stifle more in the moneys... Devuan is free! No artificial obstacles made. It is instead done in such way to make it easy for you to use it any way you like it. It is free and freeing you and me!

That's all, those three things above... But, you do need to understand the rsync'ing, the hashing, and other stuff. And it must be copied in exact same places, done exactly like in the clone, all of it. And done with understanding. If you find it hard, study harder. I knew none of this, many of us didn't know any of what we can do now... It takes effort and perseverance.

#108 Re: Installation » Installing to existing partitions/mount? Full disk encrypt? Feedback. » 2017-07-15 22:56:45

One minor glitch consisted in /boot not being mounted after kernel took over completely from initramfs, with /usr completely available and all.

Grub unlocks it, that was fine. I think I needed to give the password twice. And it took time, maybe because the system is old, but it was much slower than normal; this system does not boot so slow normally.

But when other partitions were mounted, and from the settings in my /etec/crypttab, which holds /, swap and another partition, the system couldn't mount the /boot!

Grub unlocked it and ran the kernel and the initramfs, but then all of a sudden, it couldn't anymore mount what it unlocked!

But all that was needed was to put also the settings for /dev/sda1 luks partition in /etec/crypttab and now my system boots, completely encrypted.

I mean, it was a little cryptic (sic!)... Because it said nothing about the luksUUID, no! It complained it couldn't find the ext2 partition's UUID! But it couldn't find it because it does need to be unlocked for a third time (see above for the first two times, IIUC) to become visible! See?

Regards!

#109 Re: Installation » Installing to existing partitions/mount? Full disk encrypt? Feedback. » 2017-07-15 21:33:27

True! Simplicio, be happy, you've been proven wrong. wink

I just booted into full-encrypted /boot, / and all (all the rest of the) HDD. And my /boot and entire HDD are on an only MBR-BIOS (some 15yrs old Award6.0 BIO, IIRC, Abit AT832 is the MBO), so HDD (which is just some Seagate 250GB, is MBR-formatted.

It's just the MBR that is but a little exposed to maids (the maids from the attack), and the base Grub in it. And of course the firmware, anywhere in this system, MBO, HDD, is not-completely protectable, because it's the usual NDA stuff, not FOSS like Coreboot...

But encryption is protection in many ways, even on a running system with all unlocked...

Aaarghh... Minor glitches to solve only.

miroR, I'm sorry to say that, as far as I can tell, you can't do the same with MBR disks as I believe there is not enough room in the MBR for GRUB code installed to the MBR to have the capability of opening encrypted partitions. So on MBR-based systems, you will need to have a non-encrypted boot partition.

I'm very happy to be proved wrong.

I think you'll be very happy!

I studied this matter over in a few places, starting from links available in this topic. The most important:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … _partition

Configure encrypted /boot

Grub 2.02~beta2-29 supports reading an encrypted /boot partition.

Assuming you already have an encrypted system as setup by debian installer:

  • add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to /etc/default/grub

  • backup the contents of your /boot partition somewhere

  • create an LUKS container where your /boot partition was and unlock it

  • create an ext2 filesystem your LUKS container and mount it to /boot

  • restore the backup of your /boot partition to your new encrypted /boot

  • grub-install and update-grub

Grub2 (last modified 2016-01-24 17:47:35)

I think it should work both in this old MBR based system of mine, as well as in my GPT based newer (but not so new) system of mine.

Will report how I fared.

You gotta have logs, c'mon!

The new non-bug with systemd is that in some occassions it created a log to start a service and to stop it, creating a ton per minute of useless logging.
Thank you @golinux for the recommended alternatives.

@miroR you asked me for a link and I have no idea what link this may be.

You just go into your profile, and open up your topics or your posts, and paste the link. But freely forget it, I was more like thoughtful for other readers and being principled (if I use the word correctly).

What I am talking about in reference to cloning is to make an installation in partition sdz1  and making a copy in partition sdy3 and debelop

debelop? a typo? develop you must have meant...

from the same snaposhot of the system 2 different ways.
All you need to do is to "properly" edit fstab with new uuids and the grub.cfg

I suspect, without knowing, that the initrd.img in /boot contains the original uuid which is passed to grub and it creates this confusion.
Once linux kernel gets updated all this goes away.

IOW, it's a mess because of the same UUIDs, and once you change them and run:

# update-initramfs -u -a

or somesuch, and if all UUIDs are set correctly, i.e. update-initramfs runs without errors, it then can, upon reboot, boot fine.

In other words unattended updates of grub creates an entry with two different uuids for the same menu item, which results to a prompt at the initrdmfs prompt where there is not much you can do (or maybe there is if you know how to deal with it).

initrdmfs? initramfs, yes...
Aaahh.. Great. Enjoy Devuan. I do!... Let's make this kind beast more and more capable and powerfull... Each giving the little or the much that any of us can...

Interestingly if the original installation was plugged in (let's say /dev/sdb1), although the grub menu would have two other lines defining sda11 as a specific/correct id it would eventually boot from sdb1.

Correcting grub to match the properly edited fstab for root booted, but it seemed slow and confused.

I clone in cycles, from Air-Gapped which sees no internet, other than minuscule fragments that I only need to update it, and mail, and other stuff from online, but nothing wholesale.

And I run into the need to change UUIDs on my encrypted partitions all the time... But it works, not just slowly, here.

Hmmmh, not related to UUIDs, don't know what this could be...

This may be due to the inconsistency of running ceres kernel in ascii, I will now reboot and revert the kernel to 4.9 and remove 4.11
I will report back on how it went!

I don't think... But I don't know.

#115 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-11 14:54:28

UPDATE 2017-07-12 04:17 UT:
After some more discussion on from:
( same bad subject )
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 02.en.html
I posted below only those packages that are as per
this email, cited the line below from it
not available:

Svante wrote:

These packages still FTBFS in ascii-proposed due to a bug in pbuilder.
I can send them privately to you: i386 or amd64?

and for amd64 and i386 arches.
---

Here are the deb packages:

https://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/Devuan-OpenRC/

I will update this with some (minimal) info, such as how to verify those packages...

UPDATE: And that is, they need to have the SHA256 hashes as in my email:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 95.en.html

The sums I can stow in this very post as well:

de3a62685fc93c50b975f7435377e0775984dfb2964a0aeea44e0d5d7b6a7a1b libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb

But on the download dir, there is the SUMS with the same content as above, but also PGP-signed SUMS.sig.
I only claim that I have received to-the-bit those packages that I make available, amd64 packages earlier from zap, and i386 packages from Svante last night.

Old text below here, unchanged.
BTW, it went smoothly in my Air-Gapped master machine... And to see something like this:

OpenRC wrote:

OpenRC 0.23 is starting up Linux 4.9.33-unofficial+grsec170708-18 (x86_64)

and to see it boot so smoothly is a fuzzy warm purple, kind and mighty experience just like Devuan is such a fuzzy warm purple, kind and mighty beast!

Regards!

I haven't been following this discussion

You really should have smile You're wrong this time... Pls. read at least the links to Svante's emails.

, so maybe I have no business posting on this thread, but there are a couple of things bugging me about it.

1. Way up in the early part of this thread I see:

GET /merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.29.2-1.dsc HTTP/1.1

That surely can't be right. Use devuan repos, not debian.

2. When I run '$ apt-get source util-linux' I see:

Get:1 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan/ jessie-proposed/main util-linux 2.26.2-6+devuan1

But that is not the version in ascii or even in ceres.

$ apt-cache policy util-linux
util-linux:
  Installed: 2.26.2-6+devuan1
  Candidate: 2.26.2-6+devuan1
  Version table:
     2.28-1+devuan3 0
        100 http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ ascii/main amd64 Packages
     2.27.1-1+devuan0.1 0
        100 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ ceres/main amd64 Packages
 *** 2.26.2-6+devuan1 0
        500 http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It appears that there is a newer version in ascii than in ceres (and also I have the wrong version. This is on ascii that was upgraded from jessie, and I still have the jessie version of util-linux.)

If I run '$ apt-get -t ascii source util-linux' I get the version that belongs in ascii:

Get:1 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main util-linux 2.28-1+devuan3 

Then I run into the build-dep problem:

builddeps:util-linux : Depends: libudev-dev but it is not going to be installed

because it requires systemd.  So I checked to see if we've devuanized libudev-dev, and it looks like we did it for the version of udev that's in jessie (220) but not for ascii (232).

# apt-cache policy libudev-dev
libudev-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 232-25
  Version table:
     220:3.2.2-devuan2.3 100
        100 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan experimental/main amd64 Packages
     232-25 500
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages

Why does ascii have a newer version of util-linux than ceres?

Shouldn't the source for the ascii version be used for ascii? Just running 'apt-get source util-linux' pulls in sources for a version newer than any in devuan.

If you wish I can try and explain what has already been explained (but it's better that you read at least the Svante's emails)...
My Palemoon segfaults unpredictably, I have to post this now... Because I have to keep my promise...

#117 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-11 12:26:54

Isn't this such a beauty? :
# apt-cache policy openrc

openrc:
  Installed: 0.23-1+b1
  Candidate: 0.23-1+b1
  Version table:
 *** 0.23-1+b1 500
        500 [url]http://packages.devuan.org/merged[/url] ascii/main amd64 Packages
        500 [url]http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged[/url] ascii/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

#
And I did actually see in green, I think OpenRC 0.23 during the boot sequence. It looked so charming!

Yes, I have successfully rebooted. No issues whatsoever, or no issues worth mentioning. Actually no issues related to OpenRC that I saw.

Now, let me first update my Air-Gapped. That's never really so very trivial, and then I'll try and post the packages to https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr and post a link to the packages for download here in this topic.

#118 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-11 12:09:28

Wow! Maybe it went well...

I now need to try and figure out what that ugly message means:

apt logs wrote:

Hmmh... But I surely do have to just, I guess, just do it...

Will, hopefully... Hopefully, I will be back soon!

#120 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-11 12:03:57

I have indeed installed OpenRC, and...

And, now I can see what ugly message Rick Moen spoke about (in yesterday's message of his on Devuan DNG ML in our thread linked to above, the one with the bad subject/title)...

But my Palemoon started crashing again... And I don't know if I'll post this successfully with it, or will have to use Lynx, or even post it with (significant) delay...

I need to make smaller posts, Lynx has issues posting my huge posts... Already posted what was originally less than a third maybe of the entire post that I prepared... Now splitting more...

OpenRC full install log, first part.

#121 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-11 11:58:36

I have just installed OpenRC. No, haven't rebooted yet, so I don't yet know if the installation has been successful.

But here's the report.

Actually, first, I know it's a lot, but it might tell lots of necessary details in case the install was a failure... I have this in place:
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1115
)

And let me see if I can install those packages now...

Yes, that did it:

# dpkg -i libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb |& tee LOG_/dpkg-i_libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb_util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb_sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb_$(date +%y%m%d_%H%M)_gdOv

Let me post this.

And a promise. If I install OpenRC (but I haven't installed anything if I haven't installed it in my Air-Gapped master as well, see:
Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=746
... so patience is needed... It's getting less hot in my appartment (it looks at East, and is hot in mornings more than afternoons in the summer), so I'll be able to work...

And if I install OpenRC successfully (also in my Air-Gapped, which is likely now that I will...), I'll post those three necessary packages for anyone who wishes to install OpenRC somewher on https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr ... Just, more patience...

But, before I continue, and for other readers who might be using that KatolaZ recipe, one that acii-pin is used, it must be removed once it is not needed. So...

# rm -v /etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin 
removed '/etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin'

First I apologies for being late.
The temperature reaches even 37 degrees C here even in the shadow today, and also it's July 11th, the 22nd anniversary of Srebrenica genocide, and I watch Bosnian TV channels on this day (on another Devuan machine, with --old-- TV-cards in it)...

I will make it simple, you need three certain packages from a later version...

libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb
...
to install the first three packages, use dpkg instead of gdebi or it will utterly fail each time.

(for other readers) I have, in the meantime, received the three packages from zap.

I don't even know what is gdebi. dkpg and apt are my best friends these days...

The first try with installing of those went like this:
# dpkg -i libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb

ps, if you give me your email, I can send them to you.  It can be an alias if you prefer... I will pm you if you want.
also, I would install initscripts with aptitude and finally, let us know if you fail.
...

It's only the hot day, and the Srebrenica anniversary the reasons that I'm late...

I think I have to play a little with preferences to allow for these packages to be accepted by apt...
