#2576 Re: Other Issues » How upgrade to a new release-version » 2016-12-05 22:37:30
You're already there. If you're doing regular updates, the beta2 won't give you anything you don't already have. I don't know if there will be point releases after jessie is stable. I think the focus will be shifting to ascii when that happens. Stretch is already in freeze and will probably be stable before the flowers bloom in the northern hemisphere.
One thing the beta2 isos will give you that the beta1 didn't do was install from the media without a network connection. The beta1 isos only did netinstall. That's been fixed.

Good call. Must have been an oversight. I know exegnu has been mentioned on the dng mailing list.
The latest build I see is from April. Do you know where there are newer isos?

Someone posted in #devuan a couple hours ago that they ran into trouble with jessie-backports. This is the same problem I had a while ago. If you have jessie-backports enabled in your sources, and you run an update and upgrade, your system will get spammed with backports versions of everything possible. I reported this issue, and someone recently posted a possible fix - https://git.devuan.org/devuan/devuan-pr … #note_8046
Until then, you can prevent this from happening by pinning backports to a lower priority. Put the following into /etc/apt/preferences.d/00backports
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 100This is a lot easier to prevent than it is to fix it. I don't recall exactly what I did to downgrade all the packages I got grom backports, but it may have involved uninstalling a bunch of stuff (including xorg) and then reinstalling. You can see what you have installed from backports with
dpkg -l | grep bpo#2579 Re: Installation » firmware? » 2016-12-05 01:59:03
wicd does not require systemd or libsystemd0.

If you installed without a mirror, then no mirror will be in sources.list. You would need to plug in your install media to add programs, or else you need to add some sources. Uncomment the lines for jessie-security and jessie-updates in /etc/apt/sources.list and add
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie mainand then
apt-get updateThen you should be able to install from the repo.

*** UPDATE: 2016-12-05
*** The amd64 iso has been replaced with one that boots. See reply post for details.
Unofficial Devuan-Live isos for i386 and amd64 are available. They've been available since May, but with the release of beta2, I've updated them and made some additions and corrections to the devuan themes. The full README is copied below.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refrac … vuan_live/
Please note that while these images were made with refractasnapshot, they are snapshots of pure Devuan. They are not the Refracta distribution. This is a live version of what you get (or what you're supposed to get) with an install from one of the official Devuan beta isos. Once the desktop, login and boot themes get packaged, an install from the official isos will look like this live version.
Important note: These live isos do not contain the familiar debian-installer. You can install with refractainstaller (details below) which is sufficient for most desktop/laptop situations. If you need lvm, raid, uefi or automatic partitioning, you'll need to install from one of the official isos.
note 2: There is no automatic wireless detection in these live isos. Wireless driver packages are included in the user's home directory, and you can install them manually. (more details below.)

UNOFFICIAL LIVE DEVUAN JESSIE BETA
------------------------
UPDATE: December 2, 2016
System was updated at the time of release of beta2. Software is up to date with the repository as of this writing.
For wireless drivers, see /home/devuan/wireless_drivers/00_README.wireless_packages.
------------------------
This live image was created in the following manner:
Installed Devuan-Jessie-1.0.0-beta with XFCE4 in VirtualBox.
Added missing Clearlooks-Phenix-purpy theme, gtk2-engines and gtk3-engines-xfce.
Added refractasnapshot-base, refractainstaller-base and their dependencies. (see below)
Created live isohybrid image with refractasnapshot.
Start-Date: 2016-05-04 18:34:47
Commandline: apt-get --no-install-recommends -f install
Install: live-boot:amd64 (4.0.2-1, automatic), squashfs-tools:amd64 (4.2+20130409-2, automatic), live-config:amd64 (4.0.4-1, automatic), mtools:amd64 (4.0.18-2, automatic), isolinux:amd64 (6.03+dfsg-5+deb8u1, automatic), live-boot-initramfs-tools:amd64 (4.0.2-1, automatic), syslinux:amd64 (6.03+dfsg-5+deb8u1, automatic), xorriso:amd64 (1.3.2-1.1, automatic), syslinux-common:amd64 (6.03+dfsg-5+deb8u1, automatic), live-config-sysvinit:amd64 (4.0.4-1, automatic), rsync:amd64 (3.1.1-3, automatic), libisoburn1:amd64 (1.3.2-1.1, automatic)
End-Date: 2016-05-04 18:36:42
No other changes were made.* All software with the exception of refractasnapshot and refractainstaller came from the Devuan repository. No other software repositories are configured.
* Devuan themes for desktop, login screen and boot screen were added manually.
You can burn this iso to DVD or copy it to a usb thumb drive with the 'dd' command or 'cat' in exactly the same manner you would with other isohybrid images.
To install to hard drive, run 'refractainstaller' from a root terminal.
You do not need a network connection during the installation.
You will be asked a few questions, and then the running live system will be copied to the selected partition(s). Any configuration changes you made during the live session will be copied to the installation. There may be some excpetions to this, as certain system files are excluded from the copy.
See /usr/lib/refractainstaller/installer_exclude.list and /etc/refractainstaller.conf for details and additional options.
Once installed, you can create your own live-CD copy of your system, with your software and configuration changes by running 'refractasnapshot' from a root terminal.
See /usr/lib/refractasnapshot/snapshot_exclude.list and /etc/refractasnapshot.conf for configuration options.

I ran into this today installing from the DVD image and tried to work around it with
cp /cdrom/firmware/* /target/lib/firmware/
chroot /target
dpkg -i /lib/firmware/firmware-realtek*.debthen tried to get the installer to see the wireless interface. It wouldn't do it, so I just finished the install.
On reboot, I found that I needed to install wicd, so I plugged in a wire, added wicd, and the wireless interface is working.

To get expert install in gnuinos, select Install, hit TAB and add priority=low to the boot command. Then ENTER. (Looks like it works ok, I aborted early.)
