This is how i do it, legacy bios only. I bypass the uuid and use a label.

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

menuentry "Artix (loader)" {
    insmod msdos
    insmod ext4
    search --no-floppy --label --set=root ARTIX
    configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}

Not any file system on any USB stick will found on /dev/sd(X), it always will be on /dev/sd(X)1 or higher.

Use any stick with FAT32, you have to mount it with /dev/sd(X)1.

I dont have much knowledge on this but i can format a usb like so and it is usable and i am able to mount it read write.

# mkfs.exfat /dev/sdb

same with fat32.

I think it is just using the whole block device as filesystem only.

#155 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Cannot mount exfat » 2021-12-15 12:18:17

maybe try this command ?

# mount -t exfat /dev/sdc /mnt/

if that doesnt work trying installing exfatprogs and use command like so.

# mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdc /mnt

Why do people need so many live images? I find that a bit strange tbh.

Curiosity i suppose. I dont see any need for it myself. I will generally dd an iso to a stick and try it out then get rid of it. Except for knoppix releases cause they are invaluable and i generally collect each release on its own usb stick for historical reasons.

The Apache Software Foundation has released fixes to contain an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability affecting the widely-used Apache Log4j Java-based logging library that could be weaponized to execute malicious code and allow a complete takeover of vulnerable systems.

Log4j is used as a logging package in a variety of different popular software by a number of manufacturers, including Amazon, Apple iCloud, Cisco, Cloudflare, ElasticSearch, Red Hat, Steam, Tesla, Twitter, and video games such as Minecraft.

"The Apache Log4j zero-day vulnerability is probably the most critical vulnerability we have seen this year," said Bharat Jogi, senior manager of vulnerabilities and signatures at Qualys.

"Log4j is a ubiquitous library used by millions of Java applications for logging error messages. This vulnerability is trivial to exploit."

Web infrastructure company Cloudflare noted that it blocked roughly 20,000 exploit requests per minute around 6:00 p.m. UTC on Friday, with most of the exploitation attempts originating from Canada, the U.S., Netherlands, France, and the U.K. Given the ease of exploitation and prevalence of Log4j in enterprise IT and DevOps, in-the-wild attacks aimed at susceptible servers are expected to ramp up in the coming days, making it imperative to address the flaw immediately.

"This Log4j vulnerability is extremely bad. Millions of applications use Log4j for logging, and all the attacker needs to do is get the app to log a special string," Security expert Marcus Hutchins said in a tweet.

#160 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Need to reset root password » 2021-11-30 12:32:43

you dont need to use init=/bin/bash just put a number 1 where that is supposed to go at the end of the kernel parameter and press F10 to boot. This brings you into maintenance mode or single user mode. But it still doesn't solve your issue of the b key not working. Definitely seems like you need a live session as has been mentioned previously.

#161 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Attention Dual/Multi-booters: Latest GRUB (2.06-2) disables os-prober » 2021-11-29 12:55:48

Ive always had issues when using os-prober and much prefer to use the chainload method Miyo. Both grub2 and os-prober in my experience over the last few years was that they would clash with various OS's like for instance, archlinux with debian. I believe grub devs are probably correct in their analysis of os-prober.

#164 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-19 15:16:04

Possibly you have ownership problems if you are using ext4.

from the command line do.

sudo chown -R ron:ron /mnt/seagate

#165 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-19 10:28:39

So its likely this drive had its own proprietary NTFS file system only usable on windows and mac os?

First thing i do when i buy external drives in wipe the filesystem and put something more unix friendly like ext4 or fat32

andy, you cant really compare the progress of Devuan to hyperbola. I do understand where you are coming from and respect that hyperbola have talented people coding there, but im just pessimistic in regards to forking openbsd to hyperbola.

Hyperbola BSD is a different beast altogether which is only in the planning stages, and which you will not see for several years.

That is not what i read when it was announced. I dont have any sources but im fairly certain they indicated late 2021 they would have something alpha.

#170 Re: Off-topic » Show your desktop (rebooted) » 2021-11-17 13:57:38

I predict hyperbola possibly going sunset like trident has blackhole.

#171 Re: Installation » Problem with updating the repositories » 2021-11-14 11:08:05

actually not sure of my previous post after reading this link?

https://www.devuan.org/os/packages

when i was on chimaera testing, im sure i only had one line for a time because updates and security were not available?

maybe im confusing testing with unstable?

#172 Re: Installation » Problem with updating the repositories » 2021-11-14 09:06:25

You should only need one line in testing. There is no daedalus updates or security repo yet.

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main

or below if you want contrib and non-free

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free

#173 Re: Off-topic » Anyone know how to compile firefox from source from Devuan? » 2021-11-13 10:44:16

I dont know anything on compiling FF but i use arkenfox user.js with a custom user-overrides.js

arkenfox github page has all the instructions you need.

https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js

and this for the user-overrides.js that i have edited for my own personal use.

I thought picom was the updated version of compton?

Looks like both binaries are in stable.
