mini HowTo install ascii on a RaspBerry pi 3 B+

Installation Devuan Ascii on a Rasperry pi 3 B+

download the image of ascii from embedded for the Rasperry

# wget https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devu … pi3.img.xz

uncompress  the xz file

# xz -d devuan_ascii_2.0.0_arm64_raspi3.img.xz

copy the image to the microSD card

# dd if=devuan_ascii_2.0.0_arm64_raspi3.img of=/dev/sde bs=2M

Put microSD card into the RaspBerry

Turn On

You can work locally by connecting a keyboard and screen to the Raspberrry

But the most comfortable thing to do is to do it for ssh.

ssh root@192.168.1.x

user: root
pass: toor

Change root password

# passwd

Change the language to your own. (default us_US)

edit /etc/locale.gen

# nano /etc/locale.gen

Select the decomposed locale you want, comment on the locale us

And then......

# locale-gen

Install keyboard-configuration

# apt-get install keyboard-configuration

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

install console-data

# apt-get install console-data

dpkg-reconfigure console-data (choose keyboard language)

Install parted

# apt-get install parted

Resize the ext4 partition to the maximum of the card.

# parted /dev/sde

(parted) print
Model: Generic STORAGE DEVICE (scsi)
Disk /dev/sde: 16,4GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 135MB 134MB primary fat16 lba
2 135MB 1983MB 1848MB primary ext4

(parted) resizepart 2 -1s

(parted) print                                                           
Model: Generic STORAGE DEVICE (scsi)
Disk /dev/sde: 16,4GB

1 1049kB 135MB 134MB primary fat16 lba
2 135MB 16.4GB 16.2GB primary ext4

There is now room to install programs, for example based on ncurses.

I hope it will be useful

Re: mini HowTo install ascii on a RaspBerry pi 3 B+

I think this is missing a part.

While parted does show the new size:

(parted) print                                                            
Model: SD SC16G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15.9GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 1      1049kB  135MB   134MB   primary  fat16        lba
 2      135MB   15.9GB  15.8GB  primary  ext4

# lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0     179:0    0 14.9G  0 disk 
|-mmcblk0p1 179:1    0  128M  0 part /boot
`-mmcblk0p2 179:2    0 14.7G  0 part /

however ... the filesystem doesn't seem quite right:

# df
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        1743136 777240    859300  48% /
devtmpfs          438328      0    438328   0% /dev
tmpfs              88764   1200     87564   2% /run
tmpfs               5120      4      5116   1% /run/lock
tmpfs             177520      0    177520   0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1    130798  35754     95044  28% /boot

/dev/root size should be much larger, it is only reporting 1,743,136 KB (~1.7 GB).

Thanks. It was very helpful.
I don't understand why we can't see these steps in a README file or on a wiki...
