Starting with a clean drive I installed Antergos on sda5 - encrypted.
The strange thing is that I had to type the password twice, before and after loading the grub menu.

After that I installed Mint on sda6, which seems to have screwed up the Antergos boot cause it didn't even recognized it.

Ideally I would like to have Devuan encrypted on sda7 and be able to boot any other separate encrypted OS.

That's the one located on /etc/apt right?

# 

# deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1]/ ascii main non-free

deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1]/ ascii main non-free

# A network mirror was not selected during install.  The following entries
# are provided as examples, but you should amend them as appropriate
# for your mirror of choice.

# deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-security main

Here's a video showing how to do what you want to do, except not on a logical partition. It's very easy to get it wrong. (the '4' in the file name means it was my fourth attempt, and I've done it many times before.)

That worked great for the encryption, thanks!

Still having some trouble figuring out how to install the second system.

Getting this error with the firewall:

Package ufw is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'ufw' has no installation candidate

Firefox is still on v52.6, is there a way to update every software simultaneously? Something like the update manager on ubuntu.

apt-get update

Doesn't seem to work.

My mistake about the live iso, it's the devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso I'm using.

Marked sda5 with a boot flag before encrypting, turned out like this
Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) - 16.5GB Linux device-mapper (crypt)
    >  #1    16.5GB    f    ext4
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 32.2GB ATA VBOX HARDDISK
    >  #5    logical    16.5GB   B  K    crypto    (sda5_crypt)
    >  #6    logical    15.7GB               ext4

But the same error persists.
Still haven't installed by the way, just trying to make it work on a vm.

How do I encrypt Devuan inside an extended partition alongside a few other (unencrypted)distros?

Using the live dvd on manual partition I set up sda5 as ext4 with root mount point.
Then - configure encrypted volumes - select sda5.
When everything is done I get the 'no root file system error'.

The config looks like this
Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) - 16.5GB Linux device-mapper (crypt)
    >  #1    16.5GB    f    ext4
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 32.2GB ATA VBOX HARDDISK
    >  #5    logical    16.5GB    K    crypto    (sda5_crypt)
    >  #6    logical    15.7GB          ext4

It seems the encryption option only works for a separate volume but not for the root mount point on sda5.

Ps. is there a way to upload desktop images directly to the forum?

Appreciate the welcome, thanks everyone!

I just wanted to make that suggestion because I respect the (init)freedom philosophy Devuan undertakes.
So why not use some tools that might help increase user adoption?

Dedoimedo is always eloquently hammering on that.

Regardless of what is available now I'll certainly make an effort on this migration.

Hello chaps,

Recently I found about systemd and started to consider migrating to a better OS. I've been using Mint since 2015, I'm not an advanced user but I get by just fine if there are good instructions around.
The great thing about Mint is the easy of use and install, but it was very disappointing to find that they barely want to discuss systemd alternatives.

So I started to try Devuan on a secondary system, I intend to ask about a few difficulties on other topics, but first I just wanted to know if there plans to make Devuan a bit more user friendly?

Antergos was a joy to install (despite requiring to be connected) that feature selection is great, having the choice to select a few programs and the firewall before installing is really helpful. Could a similar installer be used on Devuan?

Cheers
