You must have hit a mirror that wasn't fully updated. If you pick one from the mirror list, you can go to the same directory and find the .deb package.

I don't know the details of how it works, but grub has modules for crypto and for luks. Look under /boot/grub/.

Yeah, I almost warned you about the double password entry. It's very slow, too. I should have said that I recommend it if that's what you really want. Another way to make /boot secure is to remove it from the hard disk and put it on a usb stick. Then you can't boot without the stick. (also inconvenient.)

I tried the server and netinstall ISOs. Both do not have dpkg available (or I did not found them in /usr/sbin, /sbin or /usr/bin).

For the installer isos (server, desktop, netinstall) the following might work in a shell:

anna install devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

or maybe...

anna install /pool/DEBIAN/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.20.9_amd64.deb
dpkg -i  devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

For the live isos (minimal-live, desktop-live) dpkg is installed and will work. Only the desktop-live has gdebi.

#754 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again. » 2022-09-05 12:38:27

Yes, new live isos are coming soon. The fixed version of the installer is currently in chimaera-proposed-updates.

To use the current isos, wget the new keyring in the live session, and install it with dpkg or gdebi before running the installer.

Temporary solution pending that of the developers.

I believe those extra steps are only needed if you installed the first package made today, dated 2022.09.03, but the second package with date 2022.09.04 copies the new file for you.

#758 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] apt-get update: gpg error (expired key) » 2022-09-03 12:53:15

New keyring just got built and needs to get into the repos and propagate to the mirrors.

#759 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (T420, chimaera)(nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver) nvidia-persistenced error » 2022-08-30 12:22:13

Use option '--no-install-recommends' when you install the nvidia driver. This will prevent nvidia-persistenced from being installed and will eliminate the conflict. You won't miss the package when it's absent.

#760 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] How to Navigate Back to a Previous XFCE Session? » 2022-08-26 10:57:36

0:0 is the display you're running on. If you run more than one xserver at a time, they will get unique display numbers.
I don't know what programs supply any of this, but I learned this early in my linux adventures.

Create a second user.
Drop to console with ctrl-alt-F1 (or I guess crtl-shift-F1 on your keyboard)
Log in as the second user.
Run startx -- :1
You will now be in an xsession as the second user on vt08 and display :1.
ctrl-alt-F7 to go to the first xsession
ctrl-alt-F8 to get back to the second xsession
When you're done playing, close that second xsession, log out second user and go back to vt07.

#761 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] LUKS Full Disk Encryption » 2022-08-25 01:49:49

FDE usually refers to a setup that has /boot part of the encrypted volume. I recommend using one of the live isos. Refractainstaller knows how to do it. I can never remember all the steps and the right words, which is why I put it into a script.

Tell the installer you want to encrypt the root partition and don't select a separate boot. Added bonus - don't select a swap partition and let the installer put a small swap file on the encrypted root partition.

If you would rather diagnose and fix your current situation, you probably should show us what's in crypttab, fstab, a menuentry from grub.cfg and whatever you put into /etc/default/grub. And maybe fdisk -l, too.

#762 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Lightdm package changed Grub. » 2022-08-21 23:39:02

To make --no-install-recommends the default for your system,

echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00norecommends

#763 Re: Installation » mariadb on ceres » 2022-08-20 22:29:09

I can't reproduce the error. I'm running daedalus, installed mariadb-server, then installed the version from ceres. So I upgraded from 1:10.6.8-1 to 1:10.6.9-1 without error. The service got stopped and started successfully.

I don't know what else to do. Maybe someone running ceres would get a different result.

Well, maybe dpkg --configure -a or dpkg-reconfigure mariadb-server-10.6

#764 Re: Installation » mariadb on ceres » 2022-08-20 21:15:17

Not ours. (There's no "devuan" in the version.) So you won't find it in our bug system. Check debian bug reports.

The package still contains an init script, so it can use systemd or sysvinit.

What exactly happened? Did you lose the package upgrading to ceres from daedalus, or on a regular upgrade in ceres, or the package just refuses to install. Did you get any error messages?

#765 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » which tool for changing WLAN access » 2022-08-19 22:03:26

There's an old version of setnet in ascii and an older version in experimental. I'm pretty sure it's still in the minimal-live isos.

#766 Re: Installation » (jessie to beowulf) no network icon / panel / no network setitngs » 2022-08-19 21:59:58

The default network manager in jessie, ascii and beowulf was wicd. I don't know why that's missing for you. In Beowulf, you could use network-manager or connman instead if you want.

Install either wicd or network-manager-gnome. I think that either one of those will get put into your desktop startup apps automatically.

#767 Re: Installation » (jessie to beowulf) restart / shtudown greyed out » 2022-08-19 21:55:28

Make sure that policykit-1-gnome is installed.
See the section on Session Management and policykit backends in the beowulf release notes:
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf … _notes.txt

You might want to switch from consolekit to elogind.

#768 Re: Installation » Avoiding systemd » 2022-08-17 11:42:17

My mistake. The version of devuan-baseconf with the fix is only in ceres and daedalus. If the package just gets removed on upgrade, then I guess nothing else depends on it anymore. That's good.

If someone wants to try the newer version, it's here: http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEVUA … .2_all.deb

Removing the file, removing the package or doing nothing are all equally valid courses.

#769 Re: Installation » Avoiding systemd » 2022-08-16 19:52:55

If you have not already deleted that file, please wait. Below is the last changelog entry for the package that provided that file in the past. Latest version of the package should remove all the old files, including avoid-systemd. Please see if devuan-baseconf is installed. Let me know if it is.

If it's not, please install it and see if it removes avoid-systemd. Let me know that, too. Thanks.

If you already deleted it, then don't worry about it. It's no longer needed.

devuan-baseconf (0.6.4+devuan3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Disable debian/install and debian/postinst.
  * Keep postrm to remove old files.
  * Keep package until nothing depends on it.

#770 Re: Installation » Revised migration page on www » 2022-08-08 17:12:32

tomasz, what network issue did you run into on migrating from bullseye to chimaera? If you already explained it in a previous post, then yes, it was forgotten. I've been away for a few days. Help me out here and provide a link to the previous post or explain it here. Thanks.

#771 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] moving /-partition to LVM after installation (Devuan 4) » 2022-07-27 19:40:39

I've used refractainstaller to install to lvm. You have to use the cli version of the installer, not the gui. And you have to do a lot of the work manually, which you seem to be doing anyway. Maybe something in my Howto will help you.
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2323

One important change. The howto says that your logical volume names should end in a digit. I fixed the installer so that is no longer true. You can use all alpha characters in your /dev/mapper/names.

#772 Re: Other Issues » gkrellm skin 'BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)' » 2022-07-24 01:29:25

I can get the same error with a crash in chimaera or daedalus if I press shift-pgup/down a few times. It doesn't matter if I have the Glass theme there or not. It also crashes if I do have the glass theme and select it in the gui.

Maybe some library is missing?

#773 Re: Devuan » Meet the Daedalus sapphire theme » 2022-07-22 21:23:01

Here's the themerc for openbox with the sapphire hexes. The one in the current package is unchanged from the original clearlooks-phenix theme. Replace the one in the sapphire theme package with this one. If you can figure out why it doesn't work,  please let us know.

#774 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » hpe proliant mcp repository. which one to use? » 2022-07-20 12:42:03

Ditto the warnings above. Make sure you have a good backup before you try it.

The latest release of Devuan is Chimaera (=Bullseye).

Be the first to write a review. (Let us know if it works.)

#775 Re: Installation » Can you unravel where this went wrong? » 2022-07-16 15:32:28

First mistake was excusable - OP believed the screen that asked him to load firmware from external media. Almost everyone who sees this screen should ignore it and continue. The firmware usually gets installed automatically.

We should probably put a screenshot of that in the install guide. I'm not sure how to get that. The screen doesn't seem to come up when booting a VM. Maybe a camera shot of a hardware boot?
