No issues, neither apt update, synaptics nor access to the websites via firefox-esr using http.

#1177 Re: Installation » How do I make a triple-boot system, starting with Devuan? » 2020-03-31 18:30:22
There are several threads in this forum about encryption. And several approaches. Search and give it a read.
The 120G SSD isn't very big. We are talking about a non UEFI computer, don't we? Instead of MBR partitioning, read about GPT and the advantages. Maybe not required on that SSD, but I would call it an option, nowadays I prefer GPT whenever possible.
My approach for an encrypted setup: separate /boot unencrypted, separate /home drive encrypted, with the installer generate a volume for encryption, inside that a physical volume for LVM, split that into swap and root. Works great since I think Etch/Lenny, when I started to learn about Linux.

#1178 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-03-29 18:43:15
Is Devuan 3 ready to update prod servers from 2.1? I have no heavy load servers, but I need a native php7.3 and a stable system without X, DE and other... actually, only LAMP (in ESXi).
Depends on what you expect. My private little fileserver (samba and nfs) runs on Beowulf since last summer, can't complain, rockstable.

A new installation with network mirror works fine.
That means grub-efi-amd64 is missing on the DVD.

#1181 Re: Installation » Experiences with Beowulf Beta Desktop Iso » 2020-03-22 19:12:36
Did you install with or without a network mirror?
Without. I am used to set the sources.list to the mirrors after the first boot.

Installation into a Virtual Box VM with UEFI, encrypted with LVM, separate /boot-Partition. Expert install with openrc, let the installer partition the available space (32M). Goal was a minimal system with CLI for setting up my preffered desktop MATE without the garbage you get with the normal selection.
Host is a ASCII installation with VBox 6.0.14 directly installed with dpkg -i. Its not the latest version but it works for me.
The installation ended with no error message on installing grub, but the VM did not boot. Same scenario as https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2676. Used the DVD as rescue system and tried all options as posted in the mentioned thread. Finally suceeded with grub-install --bootloader-id=debian followed by an update-grub.
Found the log in /var/log/installer on the VM, here is the important part attached.
Scanning through there 2 topics struck my eyes:
1.) Mar 19 19:16:10 05efi: debug: /target/boot/efi does not have /EFI directory: exiting. I saw this when first running the rescue system, and fixed it manually. A normal grub-install did not help, still ended in the grub shell.
2.) Mar 19 19:15:29 in-target: Paket grub-efi-amd64 ist nicht verfügbar: the installer did not find grub-efi-amd64.
What went wrong there? My mistake or deficits in the installer?
Observation: the installer did not have a clear indication if started in EFI or MBR mode.

I am always willing to learn, you got a point there. update-alternatives allows to switch to the mate-terminal-wrapper, I will change my default mode to that proposal. This also fixes the problems with the text in the bash_history.
Thanks, rolfie
#1184 Re: Documentation » Append date and time to .bash_history at start of session » 2020-03-22 15:29:05
Putting it in ~/.bash_profile didn't work for me. I suppose I have to log out of my desktop session and restart it. Putting it in ~/.bashrc works every time I open a new terminal on the desktop. If I put it in /root/.bashrc, it works every time I do 'su' or 'su -' in a terminal.
Entering:
. ~/.profile
echo "##
##Session begin $(date)
##" >> ~/.bash_historyinto /root/.bashrc causes a memory access error (Speicherzugriffsfehler in German), no matter if I use Mate with pkexec, su - or xterm. Whats wrong here? Guess I have to use the rescue mode again.
It does not matter if the separator is inserted every time I use the root terminal, I like the idea to have a better feeling for when I did something administering my installations.
BTW: the machine in question is Beowulf Beta from DVD in a VBox with UEFI encrypted with LVM. Rebooting the VM didn't make a difference.
rolfie
Edit: could fix it via opening the root folder under the Mate file manager with administrative privileges and using geany to remove the modifications from the .bashrc file.
#1185 Re: Documentation » Append date and time to .bash_history at start of session » 2020-03-22 15:21:34
Don't use pkexec to start a root terminal, that's a silly idea. Why do the MATE devs do that?
Please can you explain why this is a silly idea?
And its not a MATE devs idea. I put something together about a year ago, related to dropping gksu: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2717
Use this to start a root terminal:
x-terminal-emulator -e su -
That line works fine as additional entry in the menu.
But: I don't like xterm. The font is ugly and much too small for my eyes, and the window is too small. Mate terminal gives me exactly what I want and need, and offers to increase the window to a width of 132 characters.
There should be a way to achieve this.
rolfie
#1186 Re: Documentation » Append date and time to .bash_history at start of session » 2020-03-22 12:46:45
Tried that and created the .bash_profile in the /root folder of a Beowulf installation in a VM based on the Beta DVD, does not work. I use Mate, the root terminal is started by pkexec mate-terminal.
What can be wrong? Rights?
rolfie
PS: seems to work when I start the Mate terminal as user and switch to root with su -. How can I make this work via pkexec?

#1189 Re: Other Issues » Problems upgrading elogind libelogind0 libpam-elogind » 2020-03-18 18:15:47
As the title say, i'm having problems with this update, im installing devuan from the usb version of ascii, it is only the graphical installer, then i perform the upgrade to beowulf by changing the sources.list, everything goes fine except that i have to manually install the firmware-amd-graphics, but that's it.
That is normal, that firmware is non-free.
i'm a regular everyday user, not a power one, i only use this machine to play in steam, watch videos and movies and some graphics edition, so i've done the usual sudo apt update/upgrade and the only packages showed to need are those mentioned in the title, but after the upgrade when i boot my machine i have no GUI i boot directly into the tty i can startx but have no full performance, tried reinstall elogind and company the xorg server the amd firmware but nothing works i have to avoid completely the upgrade of those programs in order to use my pc which have the amd ryzen 3 2200g apu.
I can't stay with ascii 'cause of my apu need the more recent possible software drivers, and beowulf works pretty nice except for this weird problem.
Please can you tell as a bit more about your boundary conditions like UEFI yes/no, mbr/gpt, DE etc. including the exact error message? Maybe you need some additional settings.... I myself got an ASCII running fine on a Ryzen 7 2700X, while my fileserver is on Beowulf already. Had no issue with elogind. Maybe its worth when you search the forum for threads about elogind, there is something available to read.
I also tried to install minimal to avoid all bloatware in cinnamon but i get stuck at making alsa work
Regarding alsa, refer to https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20555#p20555
Good luck, rolfie

There is no alsa package, I think there never was. In older Debian versions a package alsa-base did exist, but this is depracated now.

Thanks for the confirmation concerning nano.
Just repeated the install into the same VM overwriting it.
* Strange behaviour when using arrow keys to bring back previous commands: line not deleted, text is added on the end up to 80 characters? The last command is executed again.
* Looks like the hostname is not evaluated correctly. The login tells me Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (none), when I login the prompt is root@(none), cat hostname shows the intended name.

PS: Using the desktop.iso seems to work fine. At first sight no issues like with the netinstall image.
Observation: no graphical installer present. Is that intended?

Extract Palemoon to /tmp.

As user create starter on the desktop that calls up /opt/palemoon/palemoon
That should work fine.

From where did you obtain the firmware?
I would try https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … ree/amdgpu
Have you tested this hardware with Arch Linux yet? They have kernel 5.8.8 and the firmware from 2020-02-24.
Thats exactly where I got the individual files and the tarball from.
Loaded the latest available arch onto a stick and bootet the PC from that. I did not see the same errors, may be due to the fact that arch uses systemd, but the boot ends on the command line with wrong locale and no network, both to be configured in a different way. I am not familiar with arch/systemd.
I checked the journal for indications if the navi14 firmware is loaded, could not find anything.
What can I learn from this experiment? Does it pay to invest time for learning something I do not want/need as a stable working environment?
Thanks, rolfie
#1198 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: Brisk menu (mate-applet-brisk-menu) is not available » 2020-03-07 19:16:12

#1199 Re: Installation » [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware » 2020-03-06 18:01:51
Good question. Reloaded 18 individual files again from a different PC, and the latest complete firmware package as tarball I found on github. I could not find any checksums.
Replacing the 18 individual files did not seem to make a difference. Then I extracted the files from the tarball and copied them into the library.
Then I realised a new phenomenon: with every reboot the clock is reset to 1.1.2019 00:00 (looks like this is the bios minimum). And not due to the bios battery being bad, replacing that did not help. Other parameters do not seem to be affected, i.e. Power fail: ON.
The PC now is stuck at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated", there is no more login window poppping up now.
What is this? Any suggestions?
