hi, my ascii installation has an unusually long boot time.
it always stuck at two places by looking at onscreen boot log:
1. configuration network interfaces..ifup: wait for lock on /run/network/ifstate.wlan0
2. starting MTA
I started the wifi connection by issuing the following command once loggin into icewm WM,
root@t60:/home/erdos# wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

install i386 .deb didn't work for me on the 64-bit ascii.
I ended up downloading the 'Driver Install Tool' available on the Brother website for this printer (hl-2270DW) and followed the instruction to run the script, it automatically pulls in the needed package and installs the printer.
Driver install Tool is available here:
#79 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Brother laser printer installation on devuan » 2019-07-12 03:44:02
I'm assuming you've already tried using CUPs with the available drivers provided there?
In my case I use the driver for a slightly different Brother model: I have a DCP 9015CDW and use the DCP 9010CDW dirver which works fine, including duplex.
A cursory search finds there's a discussion of drivers to use for your model here: http://openprinting.org/printer/Brother … -HL-2270DW.

Yes, run fsck from the USB drive system, the version in Slackware is not compatible.
You should also be able to mount & chroot from the USB system.
Great! I reinstalled grub bootloader from bootable ascii USB drive onto hdd, now it boots into devuan again!

Strange enough, its seems a LILO problem to me.
From https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-lin … tup.10146/
L – First stage of the boot loader has finished and has been unable to load the second stage. This usually indicates bad BIOS parameters or bad sectors on the media or even a corruption of the boot loader. The letter is usually followed by an error code as follows:
07 – Invalid initialization – BIOS did not initialize the boot disk
thank you, this is very strange, did ascii corrupt my bootloader somehow? i had 'pm-suspend' feature working most of time on my thinkpad with devuan ascii, when it didn't work properly, i had to recycle power. however this time it results a boot failure.
i ran built-in hdd diagnostic tool in Bios as well as 'badlocks' command from slackware, both reporting no error.

Which filesystem is Devuan installed on?
Do you have the appropriate filesystem tools package installed in the system from which you are trying to mount the Devuan partition?
Have you tried fsck?
It may be best to boot the Devuan ASCII minimal-live.iso image to ensure compatibility:
devuan ascii was installed on ext4, on partition /dev/sda5, slackware was installed as ext4 on external HDD.

hi, my thinkpad t60 has devuan ascii installed along with windowsXP/freebsd. recently when i opened the lid to wake it from previous sleep state in devuan, it displayed shell instead of returning to X /WM. when i power cycle and reboot it, the machine won't boot, after thinkpad logo appears on the screen, it display a bunch of '07 07 07....' on the screen, no grub menu.

i can get into bios and change settings, i can also boot into slackware linux installed onto an external hdd, and mounted the windows partition and my /home partition on devuan.
however, i can't mount devuan root / partion, receiving error.

Ok, I see. First, I'd try setting sources.list back to Jessie and then run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. If that goes well, I'd reboot and see how that goes.
Btw, it's a good idea to use code tags when posting config files. That makes it more readable.
The issue remains unresolved because the wifi is not working and system is in read-only mode after attempted ascii upgrade.
#88 Re: Installation » Ascii upgrade messed up the devuan jessie » 2018-06-04 18:42:10
With that kind of error messages occuring, apt-get should refuse to perform any dist-upgrade, which it seemingly did in your case. So, unless you did not "try using -f" or anything else in that direction and also changed back your sources.list to Jessie and ran apt-get update after that, your system should actually be fine. So, did you try any other commands to make the upgrade happen or forget to revert your apt sources to Jessie?
What does /etc/apt/sources.list look like on that system?
I can only boot into command line, and wifi isn't working. the system is in read only mode and home directory isn't mounted.
i have run '-f' but it returns error since system is locked in read-only mode.

hi, newbie here.
i've run into this error when i tried to upgrade from devuan jessice to ascii a couple months ago (March 24th):
root@debian:/home/erdos# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
initscripts : Depends: sysv-rc or file-rc but it is not installable libncurses5
: Depends: libtinfo5 (= 5.9+20140913-1+b1) but 6.0+20161126-1+deb9u1 is installed sysvinit-core
: Depends: sysv-rc or file-rc but it is not installable sysvinit-utils
: Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.25~) but 1.24+devuan1.0 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.after reboot the system, i can only log into command line, but my home directory is not mounted, wifi is not working.
my laptop is thinkpad t60 with wifi built in.
this seems to be some init messed up when ascii is still in testing, now that ASCII has been released. is there a way to recover the system without reinstallation?
