#1126 Re: Installation » error when installing task-xfce-desktop in beowulf » 2019-04-24 17:43:36
Just did an update of 2 VMs, one with ASCII, one with Beowulf. Both updates worked fine.
A word from one of the admins would have been desirable.

Open a terminal as root, go to /lib/cryptsetup. Use an editor you are familiar with and open cryptdisks.functions (I have used geany). Before you change something make a backup copy of the original file.
Scroll down to line 763. There you should find this code:
# Removes all mappings in crypttab
do_stop () {
local dst src key opts opencount major minorAdd vgs vg to this line.
Between
dmsetup mknodes
log_action_begin_msg "Stopping $INITSTATE crypto disks"add
dmsetup mknodes
if [ -x /sbin/lvm ]; then
vgs="$(/sbin/lvm vgscan | sed -n '/"/s/^.*"\([^'\'']*\)".*$/\1/p')"
if [ -n "${vgs}" ]; then
for vg in ${vgs}; do
/sbin/lvm vgchange -a n ${vg} >/dev/null 2>&1
done
fi
fi
log_action_begin_msg "Stopping $INITSTATE crypto disks"You can copy the text from #15, but remove the +- signs in front of the script text.

The sources.list looks fine to me. The double // before merged are a bit strange, but I wouldn't care as long as the sources is correct.
That the webkit is redirected to Debian is possible.
Looks like there currently is an issue with fetching packages from the server, see also https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2800.

Look at the patch in #15, works fine.

#1130 Re: Other Issues » Is the debian/devuan merge working right? » 2019-04-21 06:37:24
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main
You are mixing repositories. In this example remove ascii. Then it will work nicely.

#1131 Re: Other Issues » Is the debian/devuan merge working right? » 2019-04-20 18:33:53
Got 3 updates on ASCII and 48 on Beowulf on the same resource using main contrib non-free and backports.
#1132 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to install Devuan Ceres without starting from ASCII? » 2019-04-12 19:57:09
@golinux: Thank you for the link. Just wondering why it is not advertised on the website.
Beowulf is apha, not beta or RC or even more.
- What do you mean with "It is advised to never use the Debian repos directly. Could cause much grief at some point."?
Should I not use their ISOs?
Well, either you use Debian or Devuan. The different init systems wil cause a conflict. If you want systemd you are welcome to use Debian Buster. If you don't use Beowulf. Should work on your laptop.
- Should I install mini.iso on a USB stick and boot from there?
Depends. You may write the iso to a CD/DVD and boot from there if you have the facilites to do so. Or you create a bootable stick in some suitable way and install from there. For instruction use the web. Whatever you can do and like. Use wired LAN for the installation.
BTW: the distrowatch article talks about ASCII, the stable version.
Beowulf is testing. Don't worry, looks like its working fine, got it working on my secondary PC, looks like it rock stable.
Rolf
#1133 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to install Devuan Ceres without starting from ASCII? » 2019-04-12 19:10:41
There are a few threads in installation which deal with Beowulf install and where to find the isos. I have done a native Beowulf installation from one of the late isos and it works fine.

#1134 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » EXT4 BUG? Data loss when I have launched sigil :s » 2019-04-09 20:14:33
@OP: Don't jump to conclusions very easily. To 99.9999% ext4 isn't your problem.
Obviously you run ASCII with kernel and Mate desktop from backports. Similar to my setup except Mate, I have a X470pro chipset and a Ryzen7 working on an nvme and only ext4 as file system.
Since the PC is new, make sure all power supply and SATA connections are safely seated. Is the nvme screwed down ok?
Have you run extended self test with smartmontools? smartmontools should also indicate if there are issue with dodgy sata cables.
I also would look at Sigil. Its a HTML editor for ebooks as far as I found from Wikipedia. Are you sure that the version you are using is free of bugs and that the HTML code you handle is free of strange/faulty code?
I think there is a lot of things that need to be checked, including your RAM. Faulty RAM can also cause data loss.
Good luck, Rolf
#1135 Re: Installation » Which installer should I use? » 2019-04-09 19:56:40
It may be worth replacing the CMOS battery, if the PC has been sitting off for a while. That can contribute to such a behaviour.

#1137 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » EXT4 BUG? Data loss when I have launched sigil :s » 2019-04-08 17:15:13
I am pretty sure that ext4 does not have any significant bug. Like many others I am using it since many years and can't complain. You should look at your HW and this program you are talking about.
Run a full check of your drives with smartmontools. Maybe gsmartcontrol makes things easier to display.

Well, if I answer n, apitude wants to remove my wine4, inacceptable.
Looks like libsystemd0 is at 241 already.
#1140 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Beowulf update holds back packages » 2019-03-29 19:40:30
My Beowulf is a clean install from netinstall, no upgrade from ASCII.
Yes, I used full-upgrade. Dependency missing from the repository?
Rolf
#1141 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Beowulf update holds back packages » 2019-03-29 19:27:28
Installed and tried it, it just confirms the conflict with libsystemd0. The solution is to keep the currently installed version 239.3.
Thanks, Rolf
#1142 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Beowulf update holds back packages » 2019-03-29 19:17:17

Other recommendations?

#1144 Re: Installation » mini.iso 16-2-2019 BUG does not install on M2 disks » 2019-03-25 19:15:38
Would be interesting which kind of M2 device the OP has in his PC.
I have installed ASCII on a M2 nvme device without issues. I used a gparted live CD to pre-partition the disk. But also the installer should be able to do the job in manual mode.
Good luck, Rolf
#1146 Re: Installation » UEFI and NVME help » 2019-03-22 19:36:58
The nvme SSD does not matter. ASCII also installs easily on nvme.
The issue is grub and efi with Beowulf, refer to https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2676.
Needs to be fixed in the installer.

On my ASCII I see the following in /etc/init.d/rcS:

set -e
exec /sbin/openrc sysinitI thought my ASCII was running openrc too, but it is not installed when I look in synaptic. I must be mistaken, maybe fooled by the many Virtual Box trials I did.
