I installed Daeldalus from netinstall with only ssh.

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

There is a /zfs directory of 1745 MB that I can write to etc.

I hope this can be of some help.

I have not seen these kinds of problems.
If I have time, I will make a Virtualbox VM and install Daeldalus and zfs and see how it goes.

#3 Re: Installation » zfs setup package - missing dependencies leads to failed setup » 2024-06-24 14:02:39

Kiergan

OK, I got it to work!
So, maybe that someone else has some use of what I did:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-backports main non-free-firmware non-free contrib

apt update

apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64  kmod zfsutils-linux
apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-dkms zfs-zed
zpool import stor -f
zpool list

zfs list
NAME   USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
stor  1.31M  3.51T      128K  /zfs

Success!

I hope I did not miss anything, since this was done after a previous failure.

#4 Re: Installation » zfs setup package - missing dependencies leads to failed setup » 2024-06-24 08:21:56

I don't know if this related, but I ran into a problem installing zfs (on daedalus on PC).
The building of the module hangs and and I had to stop it.
Now I can also not remove it because it says:
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --reconfigure -a'
to correct the problem.

But when I do that it hangs again.
Can someone please tell me what can be done about this?

Edit:
OK, I ran it again after a reboot and after a very long time, it finished with unconfigured packages.
I then ran remove and autoremove
and it looks ok now.

So, how can I install zfs, please?

#5 Re: Other Issues » should I use unattended-upgrades? » 2024-04-14 17:17:15

Kiergan

Thanks for your reply.
So I will leave it for the time being.

So a test on a local server beforehand is advised.

Yes, I do that always.

Hello everyone,

I run a few servers on Devuan, for fun, mostly.
It has come to my attention that there is such a thing as unattended-upgrades, mostly via the Ubuntu-people where it is pre-installed.

My question: Is this a good practice, to run this on my servers?
Normally I like to see what gets installed and not run anything that is not needed.

I do not run testing, just standard stuff, so that exploit of late, that affected some ssh-stuff would not have had any impact anyway.
O.t.o.h. some servers are off-site and a wrong update that somehow prevents me from logging in remotely would be quite inconvenient.

Love to see your thoughts on this.

-greetings

@Head_on_a_Stick
I do not know enough of Linux to be able to care or not care, it was just that it turned up at the install that I was doing and I had not come across it before.
Though veteran, perhaps, I am not an *nix-veteran.
Therefore, I thought to ask about it here.

And t.b.h. the fact that the article was linked below a systemd directory made me a little suspicious.

While Installing Mint on someone's laptop, I came across the recommendation to convert the system with USRmerge.
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwa … eUsrMerge/

After reading, I was left with the question: Is this some new BS or is there really some merit in this idea?

Edit:
After a little digging:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773342/
This seems to go back for more than 10 years.

And I am now left with the idea that my initial feeling is probably right.

Anyone who wants to share their thoughts on this?

Edit:
Hmm, this seems to be a controversial topic.
Please let me know if it is not ok to have it posted here.

Edit2:
https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge says:
Will switching to a merged /usr be mandatory?
In February 2021, the Technical Committee has resolved that Debian 'bookworm' should support only the merged-usr root filesystem layout, dropping support for the non-merged-usr layout.

What will happen in Devuan concerning this?

#9 Re: Installation » Looking for advice for upgrading from Ascii to Chimaera. » 2021-11-07 19:48:24

Kiergan

Hmm, that sounds much more serious than I had expected.
I guess that will be a long trip then, somewhere in spring, hopefully the weather will be nice then :-)

How long will Chimaera be supported? Will this become what they call a LTS-version?

Hi all,

I take care of a (very) remote server that is still running Ascii.
Is it wise/easy/doable/difficult/unwise to remotely upgrade it to Chimaera?
(I normally do a new install, when I want to run a new version and that's it.)

The server has all the current updates.

Can I remotely upgrade directly to Chimaera or need it be upgraded to Beowulf first?

The server is more than 1000 km away and there are no technical people available there so I want to play sure as much as is possible.
I might visit there in 6 months, perhaps later. Would it be more wise to wait until then?

#11 Re: Other Issues » ifup wait at boot » 2021-10-11 13:02:05

Kiergan

Thanks for your quick reply.
I will give that a try. ( I went to try Devuan 3.0.0 but it behaves the same, so might as well go again install 3.1.1 then.)
I am not such a Veteran, at least not on *nix, so I used a MX-linux installer to make changes in the root.
I have heard of this chroot you mention, I did LFS once, but I have to look up everything, there is not much that I know by heart, on Linux.

Edit:
Thanks, the
auto eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces
works.

Now to find a way to fix this in the installer .iso

#12 Re: Other Issues » ifup wait at boot » 2021-10-11 10:44:50

Kiergan

Hi,
I have this problem when booting for the 1st time after installing the net-install and also the server-install Devuan 3.1.1 Beowulf.
How can I make the needed changes when I can not boot?
Do I need to get a rescue-cd or is it possible to modify the installer?

I have not had this problem before, with older versions.

Edit:

I booted with a rescue-cd and modified the file etc/network/interfaces
Now it boots, but I get no IP, (state DOWN)

This is very inconvenient.

edit:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient

gave me an IP.

How to fix this, so it will get an IP on boot, like normal?

It shows that even though there are not many replies, many are following the progress.
The release will be 'When ready", I assume?
I am preparing a new install (CLI-only) and would like to start with ASCII if possible.

Hi,

I want to install Webmin (1.840) like I do on all my boxes but the setup hangs after
.
.
.
** Initializing cache.
Setting up webmin (1.840) .....
nothing more after that.

Most likely it expects systemd, because I did not see this line show up during the installation process, where it does show up when I install it on Debian 8.8.

I know that Webmin used to install fine on Wheezy, and probably still does, so it should be not too hard to make this work.(?)
But I do not know all that much about Linux, but sysadmin for windows for many years does mean I can read and follow instructions.

Anyone able to give some tips or help?
That would be very much appreciated.

I really would like to be able to change all my boxes to Devuan in the near future.
