#77 Re: Installation » kali to devuan » 2020-07-24 15:42:23
I'm reading on your site about migrating from debian to devuan.
https://devuan.org/os/installI am running kali currently : uname -a output
Linux kali 5.3.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.3.9-3kali1 (2019-11-20) x86_64 GNU/Linuxwhat would be (if any) a recommendation to migrate from kali to devuan?
Why not try it the other way around, install devuan ceres (unstable) and edit in kali repos and see what breaks first?
#78 Re: Devuan » Stupid question about Devuan Testing and Debian Testing » 2020-07-24 12:48:54
I switched to Chimaera yesterday, and had to do a couple of APT workarounds, followed by a reboot or two (just to make sure nothing breaks). I noticed that my system is recognized as BOTH Testing and Unstable, even though my sources list is pulling packages from Chimaera only.
Distro: Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera/ceres)Here are my sources:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main non-free contrib deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-proposed-updates main non-free contribIs there anything else that I'm missing?
Not sure on the specifics but i think it is because chimeara is the testing repo for ceres, so all packages flow through to testing from ceres or something like this, ceres is like sid and will never stop being unstable whereas chimeara is testing and will eventually become stable. Someone more educated than me will have a better answer in regards to devuan though.
#79 Re: Devuan » Thanks Devuan Developers » 2020-07-23 14:15:10
Hi
To me it was no joke but true. Sysvinit is slower at boot than systemd. But it is smarter and simpler and more reliable in so many other ways ;-))
Have a nice day

Im running ceres on an encrypted 256G ssd partition and the boot time last i check was around 5 seconds. Not sure what upstream are doing but its quick in regards to sysv. Little bit slower on stable but not that bad imo.
#81 Re: Installation » [IDEAS] Rollback system in Devuan » 2020-07-22 15:45:07
Epic fail...
I must dig into it... But I found the Refract Installer quite convoluted I hope this will be more user friendly.
Depends on the user, im happy with using it for recovery snapshots. What i do is take a snapshot once every few days on my main machine and transfer the iso to an encrypted portable drive. It is a very manual process but gives me something to do.

Thanks, but this link don't help me.
I need to configure wired fiber network interface. I configured copper interface with /etc/network/interfaces but fiber network interface is configured in the same way?
I'm also thinking about hardware problems at this point.
You probably know more than i do. Best of luck with it.
#84 Re: Installation » Configuring fiber network interface » 2020-07-22 14:09:03
Have a look here, might give you some insight.
https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux … nterfaces/
Just out of curiosity what devices does ifconfig list? My ifconfig list the usual,lo,eth0,wlan0,usb0. Might help pinpoint more info on how to get the device you want to use configured with interfaces?

What is the trouble you are having ?

Not sure how to make encryption faster on veracrypt for your specific use sorry rolfie. My experience is with lower physical drive space of a 64 GB usb that i use to backup docs that is encrypted with aes/serpent using a password and key file, unmounting usually takes around 3 - 5 seconds. Maybe you need some kind of enhanced entropy solution for the amount of space you are encrypting, maybe haveged or rng-tools?
#87 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Shutdown delay due to Veracrypt » 2020-07-19 15:51:08
Seems you have a lot going on there, the wait time is probably good only being 15 seconds, how big is the space veracrypt is dealing with ?
#88 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-07-17 14:14:26
1 x Arch Linux ("media player" laptop connected to television--has not been updated since 2015)
Thats awesome, can you find out what the update would be like, size etc?
Ive got a usb somewhere with pacbang on it, think that was around 2015 maybe, should try and find it and see if it will update lol.

Only appears with encryption, because when grub starts there is no access to /usr/share/..... yet.
rolfie
i see, i wonder how they could be accessed before encryption? Not that it matters really, i would rather not see grub unless i need it and you can edit in parameters in case grub should be seen.

okay so if i understand this correctly it has something to do with desktop-base and grub, not sure if it is present with or without encryption though?
if i comment the line and update grub
GRUB_THEME=/usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme/theme.txt
in etc/default/grub the error does not appear on boot.
edit: as per fsmithred post here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21360#p21360
solved, thanks rolfie and fsmithred

this is not really an issue for devuan i think it has more to do with gnome.
Thought i would install gnome desktop to see if it works with beowulf and it does although upon booting im getting a strange screen that says the following.
error: no such device: (root encrypted uuid) # edited for the forum
error: unknown filesystem
error: unknown filesystem
Press any key to continue.the drive has 3 partitions, boot, root and a spare data partition all in ext4.
as i say not really an issue because if i delete gnome desktop and all its components the error message disappears and with gnome desktop it just continues on to the correct grub boot menu and boots fine.
anyone else experience this using gnome?

Nice, will have to give this a try one day, have messed about with jwm a few times and unless you know what you are doing it could take awhile to setup and find out the hidden gems within. I think the folks over at puppy linux would be interested in this, although they probably have something similar worked out for their platform.
#97 Re: Other Issues » Solved - xfce4 session issues » 2020-06-29 13:37:38
okay i figured it out, in my quest to not have so many useless packages being installed when i installed xfce4 and xorg it left out 'x11-xserver-utils' using apt install --no-install-recommends
After directly installing this logging out and logging back in again the session works as it should.
This old ubuntu bug solved it.
