Hi everyone!

I'm trying to install Beowulf on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, I've tried the arm64 mini.iso (copied it to my SD via dd) but it doesn't boot, the raspberry LED stays red. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your assistance!

It seems like there's an issue with reportbug at the moment https://bugs.devuan.org/db/21/217.html
I'll send a mail manually

Package locales seems to be the owner of /etc/locale.gen (or at least the man page).

Indeed, but it looks like this is an installation issue, not a problem with locales per se... Well I'll file the bug against locales anyway, thanks

Thanks! I've used reportbug in the past, but I'm not sure which package I should file a bug against, this time...?

joril · Installation

Hi everyone,

I've just installed a new Ascii server using the net-install ISO. During installation I selected an additional locale (it_IT.utf8) and even though locale used it correctly, /etc/locale.gen had it STILL commented out, so locale-gen wouldn't generate it and locale -a wouldn't list it.
Fixing this is easy once you know how, but what's the recommended way to report this problem?

I used the expert non-graphical install. I'm wondering if there wasn't something in that that I selected incorrectly, though I don't recall that.

Strange... I used the expert+graphical install, here's my "uncommented" sources.list

deb http://it.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main non-free contrib 
deb http://it.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main contrib non-free 
deb http://it.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free 

deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/ jessie-proposed main 
deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main contrib non-free

I'm not 100% sure but I think I never modified this by hand

Is there some reason that the default sources.list from the install wouldn't include that by default? I can also see we were missing a number of updates because of that.

I have to say that I did find your sources.list quite strange-looking... ^__^; Are you sure no one "tinkered" with it?

It looks like you are missing jessie-security... Try adding this:

deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free contrib

Am I missing something here or am I maybe just hitting a mirror that hasn't synced yet or something?

I assume you did run "apt-get update", so I guess you are indeed using a mirror not updated yet...?

Does this mean we might have an update for jessie in the not to distant future? Thanks!

It looks like it is already available!

As you seem concerned, I suggest building a new upstream longterm 4.4 or 4.9 kernel which have the KPTI patches.

Looks like a good suggestion Or maybe I'll upgrade to Ascii... Thanks!

Ok so according to this page, Jessie is still vulnerable... Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Is the fix for Meltdown/Spectre already out for Devuan Jessie?

Thanks!

joril · Installation

Found it

apt-get install pacemaker -t jessie-backports

joril · Installation

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to install Pacemaker on a Devuan Jessie installation, so I added

deb http://it.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main

to my sources.list and did a "apt-get update", but when I try to install Pacemaker I get

Am I doing something wrong?

joril · Documentation

I see... I think the original package is this one. The page mentions "linux_3.16.39-1+deb8u2.debian.tar.xz" which seems to contain patches collected by Debian against the vanilla kernel. I think this answer my question, thanks

joril · Documentation

Thanks for your guide! I have a question though: does Devuan/Debian ship with vanilla kernel? No custom patches?

joril · News & Announcements

Great! Is there an official torrent?

joril · Other Issues

Hi! Is this valid for the upcoming RC release too? If I have beta2 installed will I get to RC via normal apt-get updates?
