#2176 Re: Installation » Cannot switch to text console on a freshly installed Devuan system » 2018-01-22 12:39:07
Not a problem here. I can get to tty1-6 from the login screen or from the desktop. Say a little more about how and what you installed. Full desktop? Minimal install and then added stuff?
Is there some other key you need to press to get the function keys to work on this laptop?
#2177 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-22 11:05:39
I installed grub from CentOS, Debian 8, Devuan, Fedora
I tried run openSUSE after every grub installation in each distribution.
This is a confused mess to begin with. It won't help if you keep installing grub from different distros. Have you been closely examining and comparing the grub.cfg files from each distro every time you run grub-install? How can you keep track of what you're doing?
Pick one disto to be in charge of grub. Then see which ones you can boot from that menu. If any don't work, try starting them from grub command line. It might be that one or more installations is not where you think it is or not where grub thinks it is. https://www.linux.com/learn/how-rescue- … ub-2-Linux

@miyolinux
The Miyo-XTRA-ascii isos from October have an older version of eudev which has a higher epoch number than the current version. This causes problems on upgrade. You should make new isos when you get a chance.

So, whichever one ran grub-install last should be the one in charge of booting. And update-grub (or whatever command generates a new boot menu on that installation) should include an entry for each installation on that machine. Right now, which system is listed first, and will it boot?
If you can boot into devuan enough to run root commands, or if you can chroot into it, you might try the following. I can't tell if this is what you need for sure, but there's at least a small chance it will fix the problem with devuan.
apt-get remove live-tools
CRYPTSETUP=y update-initramfs -u (and maybe -k <kernel> if you want to be specific)#2181 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [Solved] [MiYoLinux] Error updating Ascii version: libeudev1 conflict » 2018-01-21 11:04:44
apt-get install eudev=3.2.2-9 libeudev1=3.2.2-9You may get a warning that you are downgrading. Proceed. You are "downgrading" to a newer version that has a smaller version number.
#2182 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-20 13:19:13
Did this installation ever work normally? Was it ok up until it complained about fsck, or did it complain on the first reboot into the new system?
Is this a uefi system, or legacy bios?
Are you using gpt or msdos partition table?
Please post the output of 'fdisk -l' and 'blkid'
Which installations will boot and which will not? Which one is in charge of grub?
#2183 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-19 20:46:30
Aha! Did you notice that what was in the video looks completely different from what you saw during the installation? I recognize the warnings about using uuid or labels with encryption. That was the live installer. You can use uuids or labels with encrypted partition, but you have to do it manually after the install. The installer won't do it for you.
Are there any files in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ in the devuan installation? If so, what's there?
Is there more than one hard drive on the computer? If so, please say a little more about your setup.
#2184 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-17 11:53:43
Here's a video showing the creation of an encrypted filesystem in the installer. In this case, I made a separate /boot partition so I could encrypt the root filesystem. But the procedure for creating the encrypted volume would be the same for /home. Take a look and see if you did something significantly different from this. It is confusing. The -4 in the filename is there because I had to do it four times before I got it right for the video.

You said above that you were able to fix it in one installation. What did you do on that one that you didn't do on the one that's still failing?
Did you try it like this?
fstab
/dev/sda14 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/mapper/home_fs /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda10 swap swap defaults 0 0
crypttab

If you lost your home directory after editing files, you should restore those files to their previous working state. Exactly what edits did you do?
#2186 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-16 15:39:50
That doesn't make sense. If it was working before you commented those lines, it should work again when you uncomment them. Where is that volume already mounted or mapped?
Look at the output of
df -h
mount
ls -l /dev/mapper/#2187 Re: Other Issues » booting Jessie: File system check failed. » 2018-01-16 12:32:58
It makes sense that your /home is not visible after you comment out the lines for /home in fstab and cryupttab. That's not the right solution.
1. Boot a live CD/DVD/USB
2. As root, run:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda15 homefs
fsck /dev/mapper/homefs3. When that's done, you can fix those two files:
mount /dev/mapper/homefs /mntThen edit fstab and crypttab to uncomment the lines you commented.
4. Finish
umount /mnt
cryptsetup luksClose homefs5. Reboot into the installed system.
#2188 Re: Installation » Possible to installing Mixxx2.0 from backports? » 2018-01-13 11:18:05
I decommented the jessie-backports lines (and had to comment-out jessie lines) to get 2.0.0 displayed in synaptic:
But it shows an exclamation mark and is not able to resolve the dependencies.
The dependencies are probably in the jessie repos that you commented out. When you enable jessie-backports, you should leave the jessie repos enabled. Then
apt-get update
apt-get -t jessie-backports install <package>Or, you could upgrade to ascii, as Catprints suggested. Even though it hasn't been released yet, it's pretty stable - it's based on Debian Stretch, which is the current stable release.

There is no package named suspend in the repos, but there are these. I didn't know about these three - I always install pm-utils for suspend and hibernate. If you want to see a longer list, run 'apt-cache search suspend'.

nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/hopeforthebestAdd the following:
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie
Pin-Priority: 1001Then update/upgrade, and just like I named the file, hope for the best. If it works, you can then delete that file. (you can name the file whatever you want.)
What was that first step, anyway?
Maybe the better question is "Why?"
#2191 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Installing Musescore 2.1 AppImage on Miyo i3 Jessie 64bit. » 2018-01-10 20:16:01
I just tried Subsurface, and it works in Refracta jessie (Devuan) and also works when I boot miyolinux-64bit-20161217.iso in virtualbox. I did not run any commands except chmod to make it executable, and then ./Subsurface-<version>.Appimage. A couple of popup windows asked me some questions. I declined to install it, and then the app opened.
So I guess the answer is yes, appimages can work on devuan. I don't know if that means they'll all work. What did you try?

Dolphins and whales are very intelligent, they just don't have arms and hands to make tools with. Maybe we can teach them linux and give them access to industrial robotics, then they can exterminate us humans and save the planet.

#2195 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-08 16:30:16
The aptitude message about dbus-user-session breaking policykit-1 just means that the packages are incomatible with each other. Not that anything is broken. A broken package would be marked with a B in the first column of the 'dpkg -l' output.
The only idea I can come up with at this point is that the dist-upgrade wasn't complete. On some of the upgrades I did, I had to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' a second time to get everything. A few other people have reported the same.

If it's a bug, it must be reproducible. Please say more about how and what you installed and how you upgraded so someone can repeat it and get the same result.
How is policykit-1 broken? Not because it says that dbus-user-session breaks policykit-1. There is no dbus-user-session in devuan. Installing dbus-x11 should have corrected the situation.
#2198 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-06 13:36:12
I can't reproduce your error. I can install xfce4-terminal and thunar in my ascii with openbox. I tried it on a live-iso I made two weeks ago and also on an upgraded install of the same iso. In both cases, I used your sources.list.
Do you have any packages or repos pinned? Did you change anything in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d or preferences.d?
Try it with aptitude and see what alternate solutions it offers. That might provide an explanation of why those things won't install.
#2199 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-05 21:23:54
Makh,
It should have worked. I've installed openbox in ascii several times recently, from upgraded minimal jessie installs and from debootstrap installs of ascii. And I've run it with and without a display manager. What repository did you use for ascii - was it auto.mirror.devuan.org or pkgmaster.devuan.org?
#2200 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] startx fails since upgrade to 4.9 kernel » 2018-01-04 13:48:15
Oh, good catch, rrq. No, I did not mean to get the package from ascii. I gave the solution to the wrong problem. The legacy issue is related to the newer version of xorg, not the newer kernel. Sorry about that, Steve.
jessie... xorg...
First thing I would try is adding 'nomodeset' to the boot command. At the grub boot menu, press 'e' to edit the boot entry, scroll down to the linux line and add nomodeset to the end of that line. Then ctrl-x to boot.
If that doesn't work, it might be a firmware issue.
What is the output of lspci? (so we can see what hardware you have)
For future reference, you're better off using debian documentation than ubuntu. Here' s a wiki page for your wireless. The package you need is firmware-iwlwifi, and you should get it from jessie-backports.
