Have filed a bug report because ASCII clearly on the same machine Thinkpad automatically partitions to 8.5 GB for 8GB RAM (which sounds about right provided I have enough space), however Beowulf + allocates via Guided partitioning the Swap to only 1GB which clearly seems a bit undersized, at least for hibernation, but maybe swap is not so important after all, iam not so knowledgeable on those technical sides
Thank you Rolfie, this thread might come in handy another time.
On my Ryzen PC I have no problem because there the small SSD is for Ubuntu and Beowulf,now Chimaeira and the NVME for Windows 7 Pro, and to install Windows 7 on Ryzen I need CSM activated ( from my shallow understanding)
another question:
why does automatic partitioning with 8 GB RAM lead to 1 GB Swap partition?
shouldnt it be 1,5x? for hibernation etc.?
here is the guide for installing manually protonvpn in linux
ok, today tried again,
changed back to UEFI *to save existing Windows 7 installation,
and installed Debian 10.11 (aka Buster), and with automatic partitioning, it would regularly install
(GNU GRUB version 2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u4)
apparently it is same or similar version as with Beowulf ("GNU Grub Version 2.02-dfsg1-20+deb10u4"(+)+)
but please somehow explain me why Beowulf would not boot properly? (everything else functions, Devuan Jessie, Ascii, Chimaera, Debian Stretch, Buster)?
EDIT: the upgrade from Buster to Beowulf finally succeeded, and booted succesfully.
thanks rolfie, yes the secureboot was disabled, but somehow things still got messed up.
however, got tired, and disabled the UEFI entirely, and ta-raa, now the Beowulf installer boots correctly.
Only thing, seem to have to -reinstall windows 7 again, but will check that later.
Thanks everybody for the help.
i have also checked with EasyBCD on Windows 7 (which apparently is installed in EFI/UEFI mode, but iam not so sure about it)
and among the 23 entries, the one for devuan states
Entry #22
Name: devuan
BCD ID: {197a451f-4891-11ec-9acc-806e6f6e6963}
Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Bootloader Path: \EFI\devuan\shimx64.efi
wonder if i should manually change it?
Hello, IAM using a Thinkpad T440p, so I wonder were i made the error:
After updating to Beowulf, promptly the same error: grub bash instead of boot.
Tried several fixes, rescatux, refund , super grub disk, manual removal of grub entries and re- install, so far, no luck.
The grün-Installer would somehow always try to boot
\EFI\devuan\grubx64.efi from EFI system partition
Which fails
Instead
\boot\vmlinuz-4.19.0-18-amd64 from 212GB ext4 Volume would boot
Would boot
But grub-install always reinstates the Boot EFI from system partition option.
Sorry if this is confusing but I am sure the error is not entirely my fault, it seems a pattern with Beowulf grub package or how it handles the Dualboot.
hello, i found a solution here, on how to install python3.8 for usage with program:
@andyprough yes, it is always good to have options, and freedom is a most important. if i would have to guess, would weigh in Australia, but again, that maybe just a trend these days, but love see DownUnder rising!
to be honest, i dont think that VPN is helping so much with avoiding spying, but it helped me to access content that would be otherwise concealed to me due to companies geo-blocking some of their content.
hello @head_on_a_stick, thank you very much for reply, very helpful, thoughful.
the question remains, why only the Beowulf would make this error?
devuan jessie, ascii, debian stretch, would insert the correct grub entry (or otherwise said, boot correctly after installation, with the same installation routine (automatic partitioning on largest freespace available, around 228GB). however, when installing devuan beowulf Straight, it would fail, as would updating from ascii (booted correctly with grub in place) to beowulf ?
hint: had previously installed chimaera, but that should not mess up things that way.
in BIOS Boot Manager next to pyhsical drives and Windows Boot Manager is shown entry for "Devuan" and "Debian" and both produced the same error.
EDIT: sorry but i cannot troubleshoot your method above as i am currently on ascii; but should i upgrade once again, i might have the opportunity to, thanks.
@ralph.ronnquist, if you mean jessie archive, yesterday night it did not. was however able to install it using dvd-full installer and choosing not to add additional software sources.
the installer would pickup "archive.devuan.org" but after loading some files it would state that it cannot use the repository. after installation i would manually install the devuan keyring and add sources.list for jessie, and that would fix it. however, netinstall seems broken.
noticed that when doing the netinstall with devuan jessie, it would fail, even after manually changing to the archive "archive.devuan.org"
please fix, if possible.
@andyprough i have a account with protonvpn,
there i login, and go to "downloads" where it lets me choose to download or the apps or the .openvpn config files ; after downloaded the proper one, can add it to network manager;
is not so elegant, as it would not let me choose another country or another channel if the server is full, but for my needs it is enough.
Hello,
i had fair share of Devuan installs over last couple of hours (on no-ssd system)
and am wondering if Beowulf installer is broken, as it constantly fails on the system.
500 GB HDD
Windows 7 installed (first side of HDD)
second side HDD for Linux
....
first i delete the partition in Devuan installer, then let the partitioner choose "biggest freespace" for automatic partitioning;
installation succeeds,
but after finishing everything,
and reboot,
there comes just
Grub window
"GNU Grub Version 2.02-dfsg1-20+deb10u4"
grub>
or similar...
very frustrating.
This happens with Netinstall.iso and also with full DVD installer.
Then i tried to circumvent by installing Debian Stretch, from there to Ascii (so far , so good),
and then from Ascii to Beowulf.
everything seems fine, but after re-boot (into BEOWulf),
the same grub error as above.
Please indicate were wrong.
Thanks, richard
just ran into the same problem,
but i resorted a different path,
and downloaded the .openvpn config files for the free servers in US and JP
and just added those to create "VPN Connections" in the Network Manager; is quite elegant, i think, works beautifully and easy in XFCE4
Hello,
just installed Chimaera on an older Lenovo Thinkpad T440p
and it functions great!!!
thank you guys, really liked it.
one small notice that when i close the lid , and set to "suspend" it would ask
that it could not activate the screen lock and if i still would like to suspend, but would not do so automatically.
(which would need to make me open the lid again, click YES, and close lid again)
To circumvent, when i go into Powermanager, in Security setting under System Tab, when untick "lock screen when system is going to sleep" then the suspend functions normally, but the screenlock is gone.
would be nice to have both suspend and screenlock;
please suggest a solution, thanks.
it is still installable on ubuntu, though, as in ubuntu 20.04 LTS (it is the current LTS version of Ubuntu, July 2020)
lsb is already the newest version (11.1.0ubuntu2).today i installed the printer on newly installed Devuan Beowulf, via the installed "printer-driver-espcr" (Model: Epson ET-4750)
and the printer would only print however a series of unrelated signs / letters / in a row;
i found a solution here on how to install the printer "manually" and now it functions, but this not simple as Linux should be.
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic. … 3&start=20
sudo lpadmin -p et4750 -v ipp://127.0.0.1:60000/ipp/print -E -m everywherehello , it would be nice to have LSB package available , for being able to install the proper Epson printer driver on Beowulf and later, similar to Ubuntu, where this is still possible.
(request).

There is a button for you to do that!
should i click do "report" as solved?
haven't seen the button yet.
thanks,
it was only needed to install
libglib-object-introspection-perlthen it would build correctly, it seems that gtk3 is already present.
(please mark solved)
you may need to install the Glib::Object::Introspection moduleResult: FAIL

i would like to install on a fresh install of Beowulf with Cinnamon the latest
Gtk-youtube-viewer;
however, it is now only possible to build the newest version with gtk3 and no longer has a fallback option for gtk2.
can someone please help me to install gtk3 on Devuan Beowulf?
Did look some packages like "libgtk3-dev" but this would not suffice.
<it says that i am not having gtk3 installed>
please help me to get a working devuan jessie sources.list.
the netinstaller would no longer function on the proposed net-repository.sources, thanks!
EDIT:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie-security main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie-updates main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main contrib
seems somehow to function;
the security branch is no longer active,
and i think the netinstaller iso wanted to use auto.mirror.devuan.org or similar instead of "deb.devuan.org", maybe therefore it did not function.
