Updated my fileserver and my wifes PS from Beowulf to Chimaera on the weekend. Both with openrc. During both upgrades lots of "missing LSB tags" messages were presented.

Does it make sense to write a bug reprot to Devuan?

Not sure, but it rang a bell. In any case, lsb-release is installed as well as under Beowulf as under Chimaera which is running productive for a while right now. My boot nicely displays Devuan/GNU Linux. No issues there.

Though: I have polished os-release a bit:

PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (Chimaera)"
NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="4"
VERSION="4 (Chimaera)"
ID=devuan
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.devuan.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://devuan.org/os/community"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.devuan.org/"

I thought names need to be Caps for nice English, at least when displayed.

Though I don't think its an issue, did a similar thing under Beowulf already. Must be something else.

In my case, no. I have 3 encrypted partitions for the fixed data, volatile Beowulf and volatile Chimaera.

The main system is an encrypted LVM for / and swap.

As fsmithred I have opened LVM shares to fix problems with live systems like Knoppix or the rescue mode of a boot medium often enough to say that I never had any issues.

There are https mirrors available, refer to https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan.

Nevertheless, the sources.list should look like described in https://www.devuan.org/os/packages.

No matter if you use http or https, the checksums of the individual packages ensure that they are safe.

Very strange problem. What was your intention? Just install Chimaera with XFCE as desktop? Or did you want to install several DEs?

I have done various Chimaera installations by now, and have not experienced such problems. Well, I usually do a cli install and then after a reboot do install either Mate or Cinnamon manually. Nevertheless, to do that I have to untick the default selections.

On page https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … all-devuan there is a nice guide including screenshots of all the relevant installer pages. Please refer to topic 17. I think the screenshot misses the tick for XFCE as default. I usually just leave the standard system utilities ticked and do the rest manually.

My guess: you may have ticked more than one DE. This may go along with several Window Managers. There is a list somewhere which DE per default uses which WM. For Mate and Cinnamon I happily use LightDM.

Chimaera and Cinnamon/Lightdm with Deepsea: no issues.

Please also post your sources.list. The wifi chip may need non-free firmware. Please execute and post here.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

That would be valid for ASCII, not for Beowulf/Buster.

My intention is just to copy the files listed in the playlist, and not all the CDs from the server. Simple reason being space available.

Thanks for the link to Stackexchange. At first sight rsync looks promising, at least it might allow for using the specs in the m3u file. I have started to fiddle with the example given there and tried to adapt it to my needs. But its not exactly going as I would expect.

As a start I have reduced the list of files to be copied to 3 to be able to test the options. And I have prepared an empty space on a drive on my workstation. I have left out the sed stuff, since the 3 test files just contain a lot of spaces. Thought that should work. Something still isn't right.

~/Musik$ rsync -a --include-from=/home/rolf/Musik/Test.m3u --include='*/' --exclude='*' /srv/Audio/ /mnt/Daten/rolf/Audio --progress --prune-empty-dirs

Any idea what not right?

The playlist is a selection of *.wav files, grown over the years from a Winamp playlist under Windows. On the server I have stored all the ripped CDs I own, one directory per CD. And yes, the paths and file names contain whitespaces and special characters all over. I don't want to copy every single file but just the ones listed in the playlist. And about 500 files manually ......
