| Guest3 | hi, 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_luigi | Guest3: Old machine as in no uefi firmware either? | 10:17 |
| cousin_luigi | I can't remember how I did my MBR install, but it's definitely possible. | 10:18 |
| Guest3 | same here lol | 10:18 |
| cousin_luigi | Are you sure there is no legacy boot option in the settings? | 10:19 |
| Guest3 | but no, this motherboard has uefi firmware | 10:19 |
| cousin_luigi | ok | 10:19 |
| cousin_luigi | Then create an EFI partition | 10:19 |
| cousin_luigi | or set the drive as legacy. | 10:19 |
| Guest3 | im supossed to have done that already, also chrooted and tryed to install grub after that... now im a bit confused to handle the issue :P | 10:21 |
| cousin_luigi | Where are you with the install? | 10:23 |
| cousin_luigi | Or is it the chroot that can't see the efi dir? You have to --bind mount that one too | 10:23 |
| cousin_luigi | or was that efivars? | 10:23 |
| Guest3 | well the installation is done and the primary partition has already a devuan installed. but doesnt boot | 10:25 |
| Guest3 | let me check if i bind mounted that one too | 10:25 |
| cousin_luigi | note that /boot/efi also contains an efi subdir. Can't remember if one has to mount the parent or the child | 10:26 |
| Guest3 | i 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 away | 10:31 |
| gordonDrogon | Guest3, 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 |
| freemangordon | hi there, any idea how to enable coredumps? I already set limits.conf, but those seems to be ignored in elogind session | 23:12 |
| schillingklaus | get rid of elogind if that is the culprit? | 23:16 |
| gnarface | freemangordon: core dumps aren't on by default? i thought it was a kernel build option... | 23:21 |
| gnarface | can you get anything else to core dump? | 23:22 |
| gnarface | wondering if this is actually a pam issue because of starting the session over ssh or something? | 23:22 |
| freemangordon | gnarface: no, ssh sessions have correct ulimit | 23:32 |
| freemangordon | but that might be maemo issue for processes started through dsme | 23:32 |
| gnarface | i 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 too | 23:33 |
| freemangordon | I see coredump for Xorg | 23:34 |
| freemangordon | but not for processes in session | 23:34 |
| gnarface | i'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 |
| freemangordon | we do some hackery to autologin | 23:34 |
| freemangordon | setting ulimit from profile.d script makes no difference | 23:35 |
| freemangordon | ok, thanks | 23:35 |
