MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

This is my MX_Devuan with Plasma 6.5 and Dinit. For experiments.

I did not check the work on other configurations.

Re: MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

Thanks for sharing. I've tried bot but couldn't figure out how to get any sort of network connection going. I was hoping using an Ethernet would autoconfigure itself, like it does on Devuan Excalibr and even my Freia test installs.

Any tips on how to get access to a network once these are installed?

Re: MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

Sorry. I don"t use a Network-manager. Using Dhcpcd. You can do:
ip link
ip link set eth0 up

Now I"ll do it with Network-manager....

Added Network-manager to ISO.

If the computer will stay in one location, you could add a couple lines to /etc/network/interfaces.
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … figuration
See the section on using ifupdown and standard dhcp cable. If you need to have a static address on the local network, scroll down to Standard static address cable setup.

Re: MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

Thank you for the quick responses! Do you build this using live-build and debootstrap?

Re: MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

To create the ISO I used MX-Snapshot (it is in the system). I removed debootstrap from the ISO, but you can install it in the live boot and then install the system with debootstrap.
The system has the best GUI installer - Gazelle-installer for installing the system.

Fixed Dinit working with Cgroups, Turnstile work, Pipewire now runs through Dinit user services. There are still small problems, but they run into the lack of Dinit support in Devuan.

Re: MX_Devuan_KDE_dinit

I’m not a huge fan of KDE, but I’m glad someone’s adapting a Dinit to Devuan – great work, Valera!
