| sensys | hello. again. idk why, but "dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync" now working. But I receiving, whet installing "Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb ERROR" I just clicked "Ignore" and continued installation. But now I have problem with wlan0. It's just not working. | 21:45 |
|---|---|---|
| rwp | sensys, The dd command you used should have worked both times okay. Assuming that the flash storage was okay. Cheap flash storage sometimes fails. That's the most typical problem. Good flash storage should have worked okay both times. | 22:18 |
| sensys | really? | 22:19 |
| rwp | What was the /dev/sdb device during install? If that was the target of the installation then that's bad that it said there was an error during the install. Bad. I would be worried about it. | 22:19 |
| rwp | And there should not have been any writing to the flash storage installer image so I assume it must have been an error writing to the main storage that you are expecting to work. So that's definitely not good at that point. | 22:20 |
| rwp | I would be inclined to download a refracta liveboot image, boot it, and use it to test the main storage for errors. | 22:20 |
| rwp | There are multiple different ways to test the storage. I don't know what would be best. I would probably start by trying to read from all of it using dd. dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1M | 22:21 |
| rwp | Then if that worked I would read and write every byte of it using dd. To verify that every block of it can be written to okay. | 22:22 |
| sensys | what is I just try to write another usb stick? | 22:22 |
| rwp | That might actually "fix" things, for various reasons. Then try the install again. | 22:22 |
| rwp | You could try another USB stick. That's valid. | 22:22 |
| rwp | The wlan0 not working though is probably a separate issue that this won't change. That's probably a driver issue. | 22:23 |
| rwp | What is your wlan0 wifi device? You can use "lspci" to list it. For example my laptop says "03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34)" just to give an example. | 22:24 |
| rwp | That's an Intel wifi and uses the Intel firmware-iwlwifi driver from non-free to drive it. | 22:25 |
| rwp | If you know what your wifi hardware is one of us can look it up and determine what driver is needed for it. Assuming a free driver exists. Broadcom is infamous for their proprietary driver and in that case there is no free driver available. | 22:26 |
| rwp | Mostly due to these problems I always install using a wired ethernet cable to get through the installation and then deal with wifi drivers in a second phase pass after I otherwise have everything else installed and working so I can use that to do "lspci" and such. | 22:27 |
| Xenguy | ^^ This | 22:32 |
| Xenguy | Use wired | 22:32 |
| sensys | my device is Intel Corporation Wiresell 7260. And now will try to write other stick | 22:44 |
| sensys | oops, wireless* | 22:45 |
| rwp | sensys, Good! That device is supported by the same firmware-iwlwifi driver. Install it from non-free and WiFi should be fully functional. | 22:52 |
| rwp | Update! It's in the non-free-firmware now instead of non-free. Debian organized all of the firmware into a separate non-free suite. So it is non-free-firmware now. | 22:53 |
| rwp | That means in /etc/apt/sources.list one would have "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main non-free contrib non-free-firmware" to install it. | 22:54 |
| rwp | That's just an example. It's okay to have other mirrors selected instead of "db.devuan.org" there. That's just the generic DNS round robin one. | 22:54 |
| fsmithred | usually the wireless firmware gets installed automatically | 22:55 |
| rwp | I think having those automatically isntalled is a good thing. If using the hardware then should install the firmware for it. | 22:56 |
| fsmithred | sometimes the user gets confused because a window pops up at the beginning of the install asking for firmware on a separate usb stick. Most of the time, this should be ignored. | 22:56 |
| rwp | Yes. Agreed. | 22:56 |
| sensys | you know what, guys? I have some errors before all installation questions(with blue background) can I send a photo(to many to write)? | 22:57 |
| fsmithred | send it to transfer.sh | 22:58 |
| sensys | it's about this iwlwifi driver | 22:58 |
| fsmithred | sensys, be sure you know which is sda and which is sdb. Some motherboards like to switch those when you boot from usb. | 22:59 |
| fsmithred | is it asking you to supply firmware? | 22:59 |
| fsmithred | if so, ignore it. | 22:59 |
| sensys | no, It's just saying that iwlwifi is required. But it's "failed to load" | 23:00 |
| fsmithred | where are you in the install? | 23:00 |
| fsmithred | did you already set the language and keyboard? | 23:00 |
| sensys | no, before, when logo "devuan" | 23:01 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the screen I'm thinking of. | 23:01 |
| sensys | https://transfer.sh/ not working for me( | 23:02 |
| fsmithred | same here | 23:02 |
| fsmithred | just ignore it and proceed. If it's really a problem, it won't install. | 23:03 |
| fsmithred | but I suspect it will work ok. | 23:03 |
| sensys | ok, then, can you explain me how to download this driver, please? | 23:05 |
| fsmithred | you don't have to download it. It's already in the iso. | 23:05 |
| sensys | but don't working | 23:05 |
| fsmithred | and will be installed unless you do a couple of things to prevent it. | 23:05 |
| fsmithred | you can't proceed past that window? | 23:05 |
| fsmithred | or you don't want to because it's complaining? | 23:06 |
| sensys | ok, I already installed devuan with this error, but my wifi just don't work | 23:06 |
| fsmithred | and now you're reinstalling? | 23:07 |
| fsmithred | if you installed and wifi doesn't work, the thing to do would be troubleshoot the wifi. | 23:08 |
| sensys | just to check what errors were present, when I install it before | 23:08 |
| sensys | are you sure?(about wifi?) | 23:10 |
| sensys | I think, that I even can't start wifi service on my linux | 23:10 |
| fsmithred | is devuan installed on this system? | 23:10 |
| fsmithred | and do you have a wired connection? | 23:10 |
| rrq | sensy: that initial note is from the preamble as it's looking for the installer media so not related. | 23:10 |
| rrq | did you install with network? | 23:11 |
| sensys | yes, my wireless network is worked when I installing system | 23:12 |
| sensys | but after no | 23:12 |
| fsmithred | and do you have a wired connection? | 23:13 |
| fsmithred | apt install firmware-iwlwifi | 23:13 |
| rrq | (that would be installed) ... have you inspected /var/log/kern.log for notes about wireless | 23:13 |
| rwp | fsmithred, rrq, Additional info: Initially sensys reported "Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb ERROR" when installing to the target storage. I noted that as a problem. And so now there is another install attempt hoping not to trigger that again this time. | 23:14 |
| fsmithred | so is an install about to happen, or are we just retrieving error messages from the installer? | 23:15 |
| rrq | thanks. I thought there was a clean installation; sensys, if your wallet admits, then throw away that memstick | 23:16 |
| leitz | Anyone know what the "FROM" line should be for a devuan container? "FROM devuan:stable" gets: ERROR: failed to solve: devuan:stable: pull access denied, repository does not exist or may require authorization: server message: insufficient_scope: authorization failed | 23:17 |
| rwp | leitz, What command gave that output? | 23:17 |
| leitz | rwp, a "docker build" command with that heading out the docker file. I can paste more if you need it. | 23:18 |
| sensys | fsmithred, retrieving error, but continueing installation | 23:19 |
| fsmithred | are you unable to boot the installed system? | 23:19 |
| rwp | leitz, I know nothing about docker. That's a Docker error rather than a Devuan error. Maybe someone else will know something about Docker. | 23:20 |
| sensys | no, I can | 23:20 |
| fsmithred | so why do you want to install again? | 23:20 |
| sensys | hmm, I thought to install driver :D, but you're right | 23:22 |
| leitz | rwp, I'm trying to pull from hub.docker.com, so the permissions should be the same as all of the other images. I was able to change "devuan" to "debian" as a test, and it worked. | 23:22 |
| leitz | I guess I need to talk to whomever organizes the Devuan Docker images. | 23:23 |
| rwp | It's not me. :-) Good luck! | 23:23 |
| fsmithred | maybe devuan:daedalus instead of devuan:stable? That's just a wild guess. | 23:24 |
| fsmithred | you might find jaromil in #devuan-bridge | 23:25 |
| fsmithred | leitz ^^^ | 23:25 |
| sensys | I tried second stick(probably same quality) and same error( I'm sorry, but how can I be sure, that problem is usb stick?(I don't understand how history in irc work) | 23:42 |
| rrq | at what point in installation did you get "Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb ERROR" ? | 23:43 |
| sensys | 1 sec, I check it | 23:44 |
| sensys | after question "Write the changes to disks?" after partition disks. I mean in the start of installing base. Error: "Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sdb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes." (sorry for my english :D)) | 23:53 |
| rrq | ok. if the installation continues without further issues after that point ,then it's fine to ignore the error | 23:56 |
| rrq | it's an indication that the USB disk is a bit slow though, so using that as root filesystem might be less ideal | 23:58 |
| rrq | so now you can boot up the installed system and inspect its /var/log/kern.log for the bootup story | 23:59 |
| sensys | what do you mean? | 23:59 |
