that is what i do, just git clone that way i can update it via git if there is a version change, update, etc.

openbsd needs no extra packages to make dwm, you just need to uncomment a few lines in the config.mk file that openbsd needs to run and the config.mk file tells you what to do via comments.

I comment out the Xinerama fields in the config.mk as i dont use more than one screen so not needed in my case.

      1 # dwm version
      2 VERSION = 6.3
      3 
      4 # Customize below to fit your system
      5 
      6 # paths
      7 PREFIX = /usr/local
      8 MANPREFIX = ${PREFIX}/share/man
      9 
     10 X11INC = /usr/X11R6/include
     11 X11LIB = /usr/X11R6/lib
     12 
     13 # Xinerama, comment if you don't want it
     14 XINERAMALIBS  = -lXinerama
     15 XINERAMAFLAGS = -DXINERAMA
     16 
     17 # freetype
     18 FREETYPELIBS = -lfontconfig -lXft
     19 FREETYPEINC = /usr/include/freetype2
     20 # OpenBSD (uncomment)
     21 #FREETYPEINC = ${X11INC}/freetype2
     22 
     23 # includes and libs
     24 INCS = -I${X11INC} -I${FREETYPEINC}
     25 LIBS = -L${X11LIB} -lX11 ${XINERAMALIBS} ${FREETYPELIBS}
     26 
     27 # flags
     28 CPPFLAGS = -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -DVERSION=\"${VERSION}\" ${XINERAMAFLAGS}
     29 #CFLAGS   = -g -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -O0 ${INCS} ${CPPFLAGS}
     30 CFLAGS   = -std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Os ${INCS} ${CPPFLAGS}
     31 LDFLAGS  = ${LIBS}

clone the system then chroot into it and change the UUID, depends on use case scenario. If grub is not finding the uuid then you have not update the grub.cfg inside the chroot it would seem?

Ive done this in the past using rsync, i rsync the root file system to a usb stick or other partition, chroot into it via /mnt using arch-install-scripts the do all the work from there. Grub is key though, as i said depends on scenario, dual boot, boot from stick, other hard disk on other machine etc etc...

Yeah ive no issues with it on Chimaera.

daedalus/ceres is a different story, bugs abound which is to be expected. Yet on Artix linux (systemd free arch fork) gnome just works.

My daily driver is a dwm window manager only though, but i like to see how gnome is progressing.

i cant see your image andy?

possibly due to updating the initramfs not being able to complete successfully due to read only filesystem.

not sure on NetworkManager issue. I dont believe NM should be run as root either??

could this maybe be an initramfs issue when running a read only live iso?

Bit old link but provides some details.

you should have a read of how tails linux updates.

https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html

you cannot upgrade/dist-upgrade to a new release (ascii to beowulf) with a live iso unless you remaster it.

good to know alexkemp. Ive alway used pip to stay up to date with youtube-dl,(now yt-dlp).. just my preference.

apologies for going off topic golinux. You can close this thread if you like, i was just asking some simple questions and being curious.

What should the color scheme be when the Daedalus release arrives?

i found this also if you are interested in looking through it EDX-0, It has some service files for openrc and runit mentioned on the readme.
Not sure if it would port over to devuan as i installed this one on my artixlinux machine that uses openrc init.

yeah that is why yours is probably a little more user friendly. Anyway, thanks ill give your script a try.
