Quite so.

As a precautionary measure, I only used the appimage version but it also writes to $HOME/.config.
So, after using it I'd just exit the application and delete the config file it wrote.

I used it last night without any issue and this morning, for unknown reasons, the application would not start.
So I deleted everything etcher related from my system, downloaded the appimage version and tried again.

No dice.
It won't start.

I have not run any system updates/upgrades since the last time I used it, so I really don't think this could be due to some system glitch/incompatibility.

So I'm back to (and will stay with) the well known and trusty dd.

If there's anything I should look into, please advise.

Thanks in advance,

A.

see the last 2 posts, and test it on raspberrypi 4

I'll give the above a try sometime, & have another go myself, remembering to replace the kernel modules next time.

The above link seems to work OK, I'm in the UK.

Based on the raspi3-image (same root-password 'toor'), but for model 4:

Hello FM81, I want to test your RPi4 Devuan image, but the hosting service won't let me download it, and it is redirecting me to https://www.file-upload.net. The only thing I've blocked on this site are facebook and google-analytics. Can you upload the image somewhere else?
Thanks, uther

Think you mean 'balena-Etcher"?
But from my point of view I would not trust this piece of software anymore: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2977
The combination of "secretly spies" and pure root-access to raw-devices sounds not good in my ears, no matter under wich operating system?!
Not sure, what they will do in future versions, if nobody would care about ...

Best regards, FM_81

Indeed, but it goes deep..
Look into $HOME/.config directory..

No free launches from them..

Its a server type Image..

from the raspbian downlod-site.

Tested  with SSH and composite-video out, not with HDMI yet, but it should probably work too?
I'm sure, there is a lot of work undone, but as basic image it works and it survived an

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

but updates are not included in the image ...
MD5-checksum should be

So I am short to compare..
For what I saw they have several kernels for different boards, I don't know if they "flash" uboot into the beginning of the sd-card, because 1st partition starts at 4MB.. exactly the size I have for the boot-loader..

It would be nice to have a fluxbox or Enlightenment version of devuan optimised

I already compiled a optimised version, of fluxbox, but it would only works in armv7- armhf( it will not in rpi v1, its too much optimized for armv7... the vfp of arm1176jzf-s will not handle it.. )..

On Par with this, I also compiled the ARM Mali Open Stack( Lima + Panfrost ).. for armhf and for arm64, but no Image yet..

At least it boots, but I can only test it via ssh, because I own no micro-hdmi-cable at the moment ...

Best regards, FM_81

Thanks for your help fellas.

You welcome

FYI: I've tried to get Devuan running on the older RPi1 (the original Raspberry Pi) but so far unsuccessfully. Some-one else has shown it works, so there's probably an error on my part. I don't have any newer RPi's.
