Hi

Even if you make a sudo install you can afterwards enable root by "sudo passwd root" in a terminal to give root login. But I prefer myself not to enable sudo to the standard user. More secure.

Hi

Ahh, a fellow musician. Welcome

They are  indeed malformed

Should look like this:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-f>

Change the distribution to yours if not chimaera

Hi

No, it is normal behavior. It is a leftover from the Debian Installer. The firmware is installed nonetheless

#6 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] USB image - Access Denied error » 2021-09-12 11:20:29

Hi

The interesting part is that you can boot debian. But Devaun and Debian are using the same secureboot key as far I know of.

So what is the difference ??
Another option is to install Debian and then migrate to Devuan.
Or install Debian (or even Windows) and run Devuan in a virtual machine.
Or get another motherboard for the machine.
Maybe try to reset by removing the battery. You will most likely loose nothing if you have backup of your data. The problem might be loosing encrypted partitions by a reset. But backups solve that problem..

That is what I can think of right now

Hi

There are full security updates available for Chiamera. They come from the Debian repositories. So no need for downgrade to Beowulf. Unless you need a very secure setup

Hi

I do not know if the following video is relevant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw_ZNgEn874 . Apologize if not. Is CSM disabled ??

#9 Re: Installation » Could not install under UEFI with chimera netinstall » 2021-09-10 16:48:07

Hi

It might as well be the authentication keys used by secure boot. They need to be set to something like custom. Mine was set as an HP key. And that will not work except for Windows.

Hi

Are we sure that secure boot works with the live iso's ???. Maybe try to disable secure boot ?? Or use the network installer for Chiamera. It works on my system with secure boot enabled :-) But as fsmithred wrote it is not confirmed for the live isos

Have a nice day

#12 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] USB image - Access Denied error » 2021-09-07 12:29:03

Hi

fsmithred: I can tell you that Secure boot works with the chiamera network installer. I have not tried any of the desktop live installers

Hi

I suggest you look here for native drivers. Do ofcourse Debian with Devuan :-=

Have an ice day and may DuckDuckGo enlighten you

#15 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera (beta) running with dwm & i3wm: discoveries » 2021-09-06 05:45:07

Hi

Then you should consider unstable for newer packages or another distro that has the packages you want. Or tinker a lot to go agianst what is the nature of Devuan.

#17 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera (beta) running with dwm & i3wm: discoveries » 2021-09-04 19:29:24

Hi

What Devuan has in its repos are mostly what Debian ships with in its stable version. So those program are not a part of Devuan. But if you need, most of it can be installed via for example flatpaks. They are not a pert of devuan but flatpak is in the repositories.

Hope this and may DuckDuckGo or Google help you

Hi agian

No I mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/something.conf

/etc is where system configfiles lives :-)

#19 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » pulseaudio » 2021-09-03 20:35:21

Hi again

Yes pulseaudio is dependent on alsa. What is the output of amixer (on cmdline). Also try alsamixer and see if you are using the right device, or if is muted.

#22 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » pulseaudio » 2021-09-03 18:30:43

Hi

There migth actually be a file  /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-enable-autospawn.conf. Try to edit that from yes to no

#23 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] KDE "Displays" settings max resolution not higher than 800x600 » 2021-09-03 18:15:55

Hi

Try to install firmware-linux and firmware-linux-nonfree to get the firmware. It might not solve the problem, but improve performance when you get it to work.

And maybe try with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-xorg.conf and adapt it to your card.

#24 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-09-02 19:09:08

Hi

Tried with the new net-install images (30-08).

Same problems. Tried a normal install on three disks. One NVME setup for root without encryption, and two encrypted hdd's for home + data. All problems occurred at the partition stage

1) attempt. Trying to select existing drives for encyption and choosing mount point for root. Did not allow me to set up my encrypted drives, but went straight on wit installi ng on root. After install I could go back and reselect partitioning, set it up and succeed with encryption. But off course that was not what I wanted to test the installer

2) attempt. Did not select filesystem for root, but reuse existing partitions for setup of encryption. Could not get to setting up encrypted volumes. So over again

3) attempt succeed. When I did not select filesystem for root, but deleted the drives for encryption, repartitioned, the selected to setup encrypted drives, I got to the encryption screen. After that setting all mountpoints and remaining partioning of the root drive. All then went well:-)

Have a nice day

#25 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-08-31 06:22:42

Hi fsmithred

I can see new network install isos are on the server. Are they relevant for testing my multiple disk encrypted install. Or should I wait a bit. :-)

And what are the changes ?? Always nice to know

Have a nice day
