One solution would be to force eudev to use the new naming scheme. Add 'net.ifnames=1' to the boot command, and you'll get interface names that will not change.

Maybe the .desktop file is missing. Here's what mine looks like in jessie (for an older version)

/usr/share/applications/gtk-youtube-viewer.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GTK Youtube Viewer
Version=1.0
Comment=Search and play YouTube videos with MPlayer.
Exec=gtk-youtube-viewer

Found it - in the changelog for refractainstaller-gui 9.4.0:

@kekePower: The log ended after the first rsync command, so I can't tell what happened after that. I've seen that happen before, but I don't know the cause. I'll have to try an encrypted install to see if that's what does it.

-H preserves hard links. I don't know if I have any of those. Symlinks are already handled properly (e.g. /vmlinuz and /initrd.img work right.) I've also considered adding -X and -A for xattr and acl. I might make the rsync command more configurable than it already is.

@miyo: Yes, newer versions of the installer are better. Look for 9.4.3 soon, and then 9.5.0 for beowulf and beyond.

fsmithred (not a wizard. I just kick it around until it does what I want.)

kekePower: I'd like to see the installer log. (It should be in your home or else in /var/log). Paste it somewhere or email it to me. Encrypting the root, home and changing username should all work. If no, I need to know why, so I can fix it. Thanks.

It's a limitation of the installer. We would love to have it ask about non-free in all situations, but we couldn't get it to do that. We do have other ideas about how to solve this problem, so don't count on it being this way permanently.

For now, you have to choose expert install and a mirror to get it your way. The alternative would be to leave the non-free firmware packages off the isos, and then those who need it would not be able to get it their way.

Here's a brief description -

Make a directory to work in. (or make a spare partition and mount it).
Do a debootstrap install in that directory.
Chroot into that directory and run commands like you were running that system.

All those libraries will not be used by the host system, because they are in the wrong place. They will be used in the chroot system, because they are in the right place for that system. (chroot means 'change root' so it treats your work directory like the root of the filesystem.)

I'm pretty sure you can find debootstrap instructions somewhere on this forum.

OK, sorry for the trouble. Here's what happened - I extended the expiration date back on Sept. 9, but I wasn't able to send the key to a keyserver due to network problems. I even used that key a couple weeks ago and didn't notice a problem, because the key is not expired on my system.

Key was uploaded to pgp.mit.edu a few minutes ago, and it show up on their website. It may take a little time to propagate to other keyservers. Meanwhile, here's the sha256sums directly from the file I uploaded to files.devuan.org back when the isos got uploaded. (May?) It matches what's on the download site.

I get this occasionally. Usually, it happens to me in thunar, but it has happened in firefox. Usually, the first item in the drop-down menu is the one that gets selected, but a few days ago, I right-clicked on a firefox tab to look at the context menu there, and it "automatically" selected "Move to new window" which is the fourth item in the list.

I think the problem is caused by movement of the mouse when right-clicking. Normally, if you right-click and release, the context menu stays open. If you right click and drag the mouse to highlight an item in the menu and then release, that item gets chosen/executed. I'm pretty sure I was not careful with the mouse when I clicked on that ff tab, and I moved the mouse enough during the click to get that fourth item.

Did the error message tell you to run apt --fix-broken install? What happened when you did that? Were any other packages named? There must be more information in output.

Welcome back, dzz! Good to see you in action again. I hope all is well.

New exegnu boots and installs fine. Boot screen says 'Debian'. Installing base-files might change that to Devuan. Putting something in /etc/lsb-release will also work.

Removable media show up on the desktop, but won't mount in konqueror. Error message:

No supported mounting methods were detected on your system.

No boot splash on uefi boot in the installed system. (That one is my fault - an extra "/" in refractasnapshot.)

Refractainstaller did not disable autologin. Log shows an error for

sed -e expression #2 char #3: unterminated s command

.
I looked at it, and it appears to be terminated correctly. Maybe the ^ on ^AutoLogin needs to be escaped. I'll try that.

All in all, the new exegnu looks good. I'm a little envious that you got it under 700mb. I couldn't do that with refracta this time.

Edit: Found it. There's an extra "sed -i -e" on line 1406 of refractainstaller-yad.
