A couple things that I would try. I have no idea if this would work.
Try booting a debian-live usb with a devuan usb also plugged in. Get to the grub menu and boot the devuan usb from grub command-line.
If that works, you might be able to install devuan and install a minimal debian to be in charge of grub and boot devuan from that.

You regulars know what you're doing. I wouldn't want to discourage you from going out on thin ice. Someone has to do it.
A good compromise between testing and unstable is to have both in your sources and pin ceres to a lower priority. Then you will just get packages from the testing suite unless you specify that you want something from ceres. This can be helpful when something breaks and the fix gets put into ceres. You don't have to wait for it to move to the testing suite.
Beowulf to Chimara: yes, change sources, update, upgrade/dist-upgrade. There has been some problem with upgrading eudev in some cases. I'm not sure what the exact circumstances are to create that problem, but there's a fix coming to chimaera very soon.

If my ceres install was not working so well, I would be in daedalus right now, (-;
Ceres and daedelus should be almost identical right now. I don't think we have added any packages to daedelus, and debian has probably only added a few to whatever B is after bullseye. (Buckthorn? Bumble? Busted? I can't keep them straight anymore.)

I didn't find that in 'man cal'. It came from a bug report. The man page leads one to believe that those options work with cal. Not all of them do.

Thanks, Lars!
Elisabeth,
Chimaera is quite stable. 99% of devuan is unchanged from debian, and chimaera=bullseye, which is now the stable debian release. We're just tying up some loose ends (like documentation to go with the isos) before chimaera is released as stable. Some of us have been running it for months.

The beowulf desktop-live iso does not have grub-efi-amd64-signed installed. It only has the unsigned package. The chimaera desktop-live iso does have the signed package. Please try that instead. If it works, you can be the first person to tell me that it boots with secure boot. Thanks in advance.

If you're not familiar with the installer in the live isos, you might want to look at this guide.

#1084 Re: Devuan » minimal-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-09-06 11:48:24
These isos replace the July 21 alpha isos that were there. Newer kernel, some newer software since then, added rfkill and ceni. setnet.sh is still there, but is also still the old version.
Also, I added a uefi-compatible minimal-live iso. It will actually work on bios or uefi, same as the desktop-live amd64 iso.
#1085 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera (beta) running with dwm & i3wm: discoveries » 2021-09-06 11:43:07
dpkg -i <packages> to install .deb packages you downloaded.
then
apt -f install to install the missing dependencies. (no package names in this command.)
#1086 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] an apparent inconsistency on file system type » 2021-09-05 22:49:51
I think fstab should say '/dev/mapper/azura-dawn' instead of '/dev/azura/dawn'. Did the installer do that? Did you do automatic or manual partitioning?

minimal-live isos are here for testing:

i386 and amd64 (bios only)

beta2 amd64. This one booted in uefi for me. (hardware and qemu). I only booted bios in qemu, but I expect it works on hardware, too.

You're right. The amd64 desktop-live beta iso doesn't boot in uefi. I'm not sure what happened, but I just made a beta2 and it works. I will upload that and make the other three isos some time in the next day or two.
#1092 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-09-03 11:30:51
There are four live isos. Which one did you use?
#1093 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-09-03 02:46:55
The desktop-live iso should boot on uefi. The minimal-live is bios only. Image a usb thumb drive using dd or cat to the whole device (not a partition). Did you use a different method or burn an optical disk?
#1094 Re: Devuan » Hasn't Devuan started to roll yet? » 2021-08-30 13:22:37
I'm not sure I understand the question. Right now, debian and devuan are out of sync with respect to "stable" and "testing". Chimaera will move to stable and be officially released when we fix a few issues with the isos and get the documentation written. After that happens, I expect work will begin on the next release.
It should be a matter of a few weeks, not a few months.
But as usual, bottom line is "When it's ready."
#1095 Re: Installation » Someone Removed My Bug Report » 2021-08-30 13:07:16
Your bug report was not removed. There seems to be a problem with BTS today. I'm getting '502 bad gateway' when I try to access any bug reports. Word has been passed along to the web wizards, and I'm sure it will be corrected soon.
#1096 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-08-29 00:06:55
Lars, yes if you can test it again that would be good, and if possible get a screenshot or two of the partitioning scheme. Thanks.
#1097 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Mounting and shutdown not allowed as normal user » 2021-08-28 14:07:07
Look in /var/log/apt/history.log to see what was recently installed or removed. Something related to policykit or elogind might be missing. You shouldn't need to enable sudo for these things in kde.
#1098 Re: Devuan » desktop-live chimaera beta isos » 2021-08-28 13:57:44
So, the copy of refractainstaller-yad that I hacked into the desktop-live iso was an older version that I modified. Oops. It'll still work.
Right one is here and will be in the next build.

Chimaera desktop-live beta isos are available at your favorite iso mirror.
https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan
I hacked in the fixes for desktop-base (menu icons and desktop background) and also hacked in a fix for refractainstaller to remove the scary warning in the first screen. These changes will be in the next build of the packages and in the repo soon.
#1100 Re: Other Issues » refractasnapshot-base build segfaults in chimaera » 2021-08-27 12:57:17
Maintainer says he has no idea but will give it some thought. Also "colord-insane is a wrath upon us since the beginning."
I can't figure out what colord does. I have libcolord2 on the two systems I checked, but not colord. One of those systems is chimaera with runit, and I have made bootable isos from that system using refractasnapshot. Maybe removing colord will fix it.
