#426 Re: Off-topic » Beware of the Zeitgeist... and a reminder to inspect packages/source. » 2024-02-24 10:45:27

stumbled across this thread referencing "zeitgeist" and was reminded of some thought-exercises to ponder.

here are just a few links for your enjoyment:

#429 Re: Installation » upgrade Chimaera with Daedelus? » 2024-02-21 06:42:02

definitely a clean install is best. when i prepare and partition a new hdd/ssd i always reserve several partitions for future newer versions(or completely different operating systems). and they are always there if i need to use them for some temporary purpose. don't forget a bullet-proof back-up plan!

if you've just done a fresh install of Devuan 5 Daedalus then your /etc/apt/sources.list should have lines like

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main

@stultumanto, came across your post regarding the unknown Dell admin password:

this search on dell.com shows 69.7K results(naturally a better search will narrow down the results):

not an answer to your specific question perhaps but still interesting for the larger community

ttps://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/os-recommendations/

the above claims ceph can use sysvinit or systemd

the below says systemd is required for cephadm

side comment/note:

remember having one of these netbooks years ago(until the magic smoke was released from it by an errant screwdriver blade)

seem to recall in those days that the (u)efi setups were quite buggy and different vendors appeared to purposefully go "off-specification"

re: @aluma lenovo s205 _questions_
ttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=47256#p47256

the posts are somewhat confusing

there is no UEFI-legacy switch, while I booted via MBR, there were no problems.

so the above quote describes when/where the hdd/ssd was MBR partitioned?(seems likely for a circa 2011 netbook)

Now I have created an EFI partition, root directories, swap and /home.
I installed openSuse first, everything went fine, the bootloader is installed in UEFI, there are two of its folders in the partition, etc.

and then this describes same/different hdd/ssd? MBR/GPT partitioning? dual-boot? triple-boot? re: openSuse re: PSlinuxOs re: Daedalus

this seems confused/confusing to present and future thread visitors.

while i am composing this, more posts are being added but questions remain.

thanks for the response and thoughts but we've researched every source and manual we can/could find and nothing has ever helped to gain positive every-time access/entry into the advanced bios settings(bought this machine used so it is possible that some altered, buggy, and/or subverted bios firmware was installed by a previous owner/user/other)
