I've updated augmented the thread you mentioned with a script I wrote way back. HTH!

Thank you for the commented script Dutch_Master.

I'm looking at compiling the latest stable though, and I'll update with my results after successful testing.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ … 06.html.en offers insight into packaging and thus easier management, although I haven't figured it out yet, or if it's applicable to Devuan (I don't think they've diverged too much at this point.)

My aim is to be able to pull the latest stable, compile, and management.

What's the proper process for installing the latest kernel from kernel.org?

I've searched around a bit on Debian docs and random places but everything is outdated or doesn't seem to be relevant.

Edit: Just saw https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=564 so I'll give that a shot.

Is entry  #7 quoted script the only required modification?

EDIT: I replaced

do_stop()

with the one supplied in entry #7 and shutdown was quick.

I notice others are talking about this possibly isn't a solution due to errors? I didn't see any but not sure where to check logs at.

Probably wise to backup the file first though:

# cp /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions{,.bak}

EDIT: ninja'd by rolfie...

Will this work for Ceres? I'm not thinking it will. I glanced over it and they seem a bit different. 

cryptdisks.functions

is also now named 

cryptdisks-functions

.

Did a fresh install today.

When it came to installing byobu, I installed all python3 related packages pulled in by byobu first, then I installed byobu and had no issues.

Note, this is for the arm64 Beowulf Raspberry Pi version.

My i386 Beowulf version had no issues installing byobu and pulling depends.

Could be user error, or some bug in how the packages are pulled in and configured... but it works now.

Not sure, it's not on right now. I'll do a fresh base install tomorrow and get back to you.

Raspberry Pi 3 install successful and fine.
Upgrade to Beowulf had no issues.

I go to install byobu and run into this issue.

#8 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How is service management done? » 2019-03-20 13:14:40

I did an ascii netinstall and selected only the bottom package options (they seemed to be all CLI related) and it looked like I saw x11 related things being installed. Also cups was installed by default. Perhaps I selected too many options. I'll try selecting only one or none next time.

The "service" command seemed to disappear for me after I upgraded to beowulf (maybe before, I don't remember?) so I was wondering if a new management system was being implemented, or perhaps my upgrade didn't go smoothly.

Since it seemed borked, I went ahead and went on to ceres and no change.

The old laptop (i386) I installed it on idoesn't like a multiple USB boot I have setup so I'm going to have to do a reinstall anyway.

A little off topic, but possibly related? I seem to only be able to execute a shutdown/reboot via "/sbin/shutdown" ? Is the expected behavior? I come primarily from an Ubuntu background and just run "shutdown" by itself.

Trying out Devuan for a systemdless system and don't know how to manage services.

Could be the options I picked when installing, but many more services than I want are enabled (cups, etc.) Just want a bare minimal setup.
