Guest3hi, im trying to install devuan 5 in an old x64 machine with an old sata HD and im stuck with the issue that "there is no efi partition". Could some faerie provide a link to study to resolve this issue? Thanks!09:47
cousin_luigiGuest3: Old machine as in no uefi firmware either?10:17
cousin_luigiI can't remember how I did my MBR install, but it's definitely possible.10:18
Guest3same here lol10:18
cousin_luigiAre you sure there is no legacy boot option in the settings?10:19
Guest3but no, this motherboard has uefi firmware10:19
cousin_luigiok10:19
cousin_luigiThen create an EFI partition10:19
cousin_luigior set the drive as legacy.10:19
Guest3im supossed to have done that already, also chrooted and tryed to install grub after that... now im a bit confused to handle the issue :P10:21
cousin_luigiWhere are you with the install?10:23
cousin_luigiOr is it the chroot that can't see the efi dir? You have to --bind mount that one too10:23
cousin_luigior was that efivars?10:23
Guest3well the installation is done and the primary partition has already a devuan installed. but doesnt boot10:25
Guest3let me check if i bind mounted that one too10:25
cousin_luiginote that /boot/efi also contains an efi subdir. Can't remember if one has to mount the parent or the child10:26
Guest3i think i found a mistake in the process, thank you for helping me to remoun my brain xD lets see if can do it right away10:31
gordonDrogonGuest3, just done this - I wiped the drive, used the netinst method via  a usb stick, had it create a new gpt partition table then used it's "guided" partition thing for the whole disk and it "just worked".10:35
freemangordonhi there, any idea how to enable coredumps? I already set limits.conf, but those seems to be ignored in elogind session23:12
schillingklausget rid of elogind if that is the culprit?23:16
gnarfacefreemangordon: core dumps aren't on by default? i thought it was a kernel build option...23:21
gnarfacecan you get anything else to core dump?23:22
gnarfacewondering if this is actually a pam issue because of starting the session over ssh or something?23:22
freemangordongnarface: no, ssh sessions have correct ulimit23:32
freemangordonbut that might be maemo issue for processes started through dsme23:32
gnarfacei just realized i've only seen stuff core dump using the stock amd64 kernel, whatever you've got built for ARM may not have the same settings if it is indeed a kernel thing too23:33
freemangordonI see coredump for Xorg23:34
freemangordonbut not for processes in session23:34
gnarfacei'm not an expert with elogind, if it's a elogind thing, stick around to talk to someone who knows more about it...23:34
freemangordonwe do some hackery to autologin23:34
freemangordonsetting ulimit from profile.d script makes no difference23:35
freemangordonok, thanks23:35
