I'm seeing this problem on isohybrid-imaged usb. Anyone else experimenting with beowulf-based isos? C'mon guys, I need feedback. And help.
For example put concurrency=none on the boot command line.
Thanks. That's easier, and it has the advantage of showing up in /proc/cmdline, so I can check if I used it or not. Unfortunately, it doesn't help. Lots of modules are missing, including snd.
The problem also exists on isohybrid-imaged usb. It's not limited to optical media.
Multi-boot usb does not have the problem.
No change on booting with CONCURRENCY=none
Now we're cross-posting. See my update above.
I turned of anything I thought I would not need:
bluetooth, hddtemp, lm-sensors, lvm2, mdadm, nfs-common, pppd-dns, rsync, saned, smartmontools
Didn't help.
Update: How to do it -
touch /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering to set CONCURRENCY=none
see:
/etc/init.d/README
/usr/share/doc/insserv/README.deb
/etc/init.d/rc <- This is where it happens
Testing this now. Still building the iso.
Would it be hard to create a refracta version which uses a single-threaded boot, and manually fix the boot order?
I have no idea how to do that. How can you even tell if it's running single or multi-threaded?
What I can do is turn off some services in the default runlevel and see if that changes anything.
And it's still screwed up. No audio when boot from dvd, except when booted to ram. Fixed by modprobe the sound module. In my case, 'modprobe snd_hda_intel'
Here's a list of modules that get loaded when booting to ram but not when booting normally. If anyone has any ideas about wtf is going on, I'd love to hear it.

batteryThese modules get loaded when booting to ram but not when booting normally from dvd. The rtl8273ae is the right one for my wireless card. Your list might be slightly different.

batteryYeah, that worked: modprobe snd_hda_intel was all I needed to do.
Oh, and it all works just fine if I boot to ram. Modules are already loaded and sound works. I'm thinking maybe there's a timeout somewhere on reading the dvd, and it just stops reading early.
No sound on DVD. That's true for beowulf RC and refracta beta5. The latter does not have pulseaudio.
Can't run alsamixer. "No such file" (even though it's right where it belongs at /usr/bin/alsamixer and is executable.)
aplay -l says "device_list:272: no soundcards found" but lspci sees it just fine.
Again, true on both pure devuan and refracta.
I tried restarting pulseaudio, alsa, eudev; tried removing pulseaudio and running with just alsa. Nothing.
Sound works fine in qemu.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but RC installer isos are there, too.
I believe the problem has been fixed by installing acpi-fakekey. Can anyone confirm or refute?
@HoaS: both. This is on an upgraded Refracta. (Not sure if I started with ascii or beowulf.)

Try this one: https://get.refracta.org/files/testing/ … 8_0033.iso
I added acpi-fakekey. Did it first over ssh in a live session, and the trackpad worked instantly. Then I made the above iso and burned it to dvd. Only tested on laptop so far, but it works.
tl;dr (I read the black parts and the last paragraph.)
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
Uncomment the deb-src lines and update the package cache. ('apt update' or Refresh in synaptic)
gui text editors I have known and loved:
mousepad, leafpad, gedit, kedit, medit, pluma, geany
The first two are very simple. The others have more features.
Did you see this one? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1120843 … ket-ctb-2d
Check permissions on /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/*
Is it possible maybe to insert the reinsert hack into some other place... Maybe /etc/xdg/autostart or some such, which is GUARANTEED to be executed after the desktop is already loaded.
Yes, but I think it needs to be in effect if/when the login screen comes up. I forget how I got there. Maybe somewhere at the end of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ would be appropriate.
This hack of reloading the modules didn't work for me when I was testing on the laptop yesterday. I'm hoping to get more information before I burn another disk. And as I mentioned in another thread, I'm about ready to just rename the isos to *.img and tell people they are usb images. (No, that won't really happen. That is unacceptable.)
Yeah, our primary goal is to provide systemd-free debian. For those who want minimalist or libre or some other combination of packages, configs or whatever, there are derivative distros that fulfill some of these needs, and there are several ways of making your own, and there's a community of people already making their own who will offer ideas and advice and will help you solve problems you run into.
That brings us to a secondary goal - to accomplish the first goal with the least amount of work. We have a team of around a dozen people to keep up with the hundreds of debian developers. All are volunteers. We like to keep it simple and easy wherever possible.
It's the stock debian kernel:
$ grep INOTIFY /boot/config-4.19.0-9-amd64
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=yI'm using mostly the refracta isos for testing so I can ssh in.
More later...
Live iso burned to optical disk. (I've only tried DVD, because the isos are too big for CD.)
Auto-login is enabled in the official beowulf desktop-live isos.
It boots.
It goes to desktop.
You can't use keyboard or mouse.
I didn't notice this problem becuase I don't use optical disks anymore.
There's a much better description of the problem in the linked discussion. I was nice enough to link you to the last two of the 23 pages. Please take a look at that discussion for clues. I'd like to fix this problem, not just rename the isos to .img and tell everyone they are usb images. I'm hoping someone who knows something that I don't know will look at that and see where the actual problem is.
Thanks,
fsmithred (not a happy camper.)
remove/insert usbhid just worked for me here. I did it over ssh while the desktop was up. Did not have to restart anything. This is with usb-only mouse and keyboard. No trackpad here, using the last refracta iso I posted.
It works if I do it after stopping the display manager, too.
I made another beowulf image with the same changes as the last refracta iso, minus the ssh-server and console-only runlevel 3. As you noted, these changes don't work if there's only usb mouse and keyboard. If there's a trackpad, they work. Someone else is supposed to let me know about ps2 inputs.

If so, I'd like to know how you got that to happen.
Thanks,
fsmithred
See roughly the last page or two of this discussion for more details:

Couldn't get it to work with usb mouse/kb.
Changing 'psmouse' to 'usbhid' didn't help.
Weird. I'm testing on a laptop that has a trackpad but no keyboard, and there's a usb keyboard plugged in. Both work.
On the builds that have no keyboard/mouse, I can remove/insert psmouse with or without the desktop running, and inputs all work when the desktop is restarted. That doesn't work for you?
