#126 Re: Installation » Install from Ventoy » 2023-11-03 09:43:44
Having had a sniff at Ventoy I see that it uses an exfat filsystem, which is not included in preamble.gz. Perhaps it's sufficient to add that ...
EDIT: no it's not sufficient.
I download the Linux version - https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html

The daedalus ISO offers a menu of alternative boot methods; does "start the desired distro" start with presenting that menu?
The ISO is further a hybrid ISO with 3 separate boot equipments that cater for different use cases: whether the media is presented as a harddisk or a cdrom and whether the boot loading is by legacy or UEFI bios. Which use case does Ventoy present?
Ventoy will start up in either MBR or UEFI, depending on your computer, & it starts the distro as it would start if it was the only one on a pendrive, all boot options of the distro remain available.
#128 Re: Installation » Install from Ventoy » 2023-11-02 14:18:58
Just in case we are not clear, you create a Ventoy pendrive from the files downloaded, then you copy your distros onto the pendrive, each distro is added to the Ventoy start menu, from which you start the desired distro, when you shut down the distro, Ventoy asks you to press return/enter key to finish using the distro, so that you can remove the pendrive.
Because Ventoy loads the chosen distro, it will run as it would if it were the only distro on the pendrive - so, I expect a net install .iso will allow you to install to your chosen disk.

I regularly ran Devuan/XFCE on a 2GB ram / 1.2GHz dual core thin client, I even ran it with just 1GB ram as an experiment on a single core thin client, it was a little slow, but even the internet was usable. 
It's lightning fast on my 2GB ram converted Chromebook. 
#130 Re: Installation » Install from Ventoy » 2023-10-22 08:31:53
I don't know if a net install will work, but Devuan Live will install OK from a Ventoy pendrive, as will Crowz (JWM) - & lots of other distros.

Could just be that particular cable - I occasionally use a 30ft cable without problems, (Devuan/XFCE), & have used a 'coupler' to add an extra 10ft cable also without problems.

Ah, well, I've grabbed the updated October releases anyway....
#135 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0 Daedalus amd64 release » 2023-10-10 08:22:33
I'm guessing the new versions are for the upgraded libc, which I have already done on my installs yesterday.
#136 Re: Other Issues » What ISO for an Any-OS-Boot HDD? » 2023-10-07 08:48:53
Use a Ventoy pendrive, if you need multiple Linux distros - https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
Devuan Live has Refracta Snapshot already installed - https://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/desktop-live/

#137 Re: Off-topic » Hi all! Back again after many adventures! » 2023-10-03 08:51:30
Welcome back, & congrats on getting your own home.
Only thing about upgrading to Daedelus is to add a line to sources list, because Debian has separated out the non-free wifi stuff, I think it was, but it's in the forum somewhere.

Use the UUID, or partUUID, don't rely on /dev/sd? for consistent disks/partitions.
#139 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » The computer suddenly went out of action » 2023-10-01 08:47:42
Your system is 'freezing up'.
Sounds like faulty electrics/power, check out your wiring for something loose, (or perhaps it's trouble with your power company/supplier?).
If they aren't the problem then it looks like it could be a problem with your ram/faulty chips(?).
Processor may be overheating & shutting down the computer(?)

Yeah, I recon everyone on here has their own opinion of systemd too....

Security
HardwareTrusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0
Silicon Root of Trust (RoT) – NIST 800-193 CompliantFeatures
Cryptographically Signed Firmware
Secure Boot
Secure Firmware Updates
Automatic Firmware Recovery
System Lockdown
It may be something to do with the above security 'features' - maybe try removing 'secure boot', or possibly that TPM module(?).
#142 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » use Bluetooth » 2023-09-23 08:54:39
1st removed pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. Then installed libspa-0.2-bluetooth. Restartred system. My wireless bluetooth headphone is working fine now. Hope it helps.
Sounds simple enough....
#143 Re: Installation » Archiving it -all- » 2023-09-23 08:50:46
If it's your own personal system that you want to duplicate, use a 'snapshot', these can be installed to bare metal - otherwise it sounds like you want to 'mirror' the repos.

I seldom use bluetooth, but this describes setting it up - https://www.howtogeek.com/829360/how-to … -on-linux/
#145 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Deleting and renaming folders on an external hard drive. » 2023-09-19 14:40:17
If your user doesn't own the directory, you need to use sudo or the root account.
But, you could change ownership of that mount point to your user, then you can do what you like with files & directories on it.

These rankings are mainly newbies trying out various distros, most actual users already know which distro, & go direct to the website!

Thank you for this insight - I hope someone will manage to restore it to the repos in due course.
My 77 year old sister is already missing it, & I only upgraded her computer the other day!
Presently, I have xshisen & xpat2 installed, but she doesn't like them....

#150 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0 Daedalus amd64 release » 2023-09-16 08:30:21
Loving this version of Crowz, & so easy to install.
50% of my stack of computers are now running Crowz, the others are using Devuan Live (installed).
Excellent work!
