| txnintn | Hello, I'm using daedalus Minimal Live and I can't get the --variant=minbase switch to work, any suggestions? | 15:36 |
|---|---|---|
| txnintn | bump | 15:55 |
| fsmithred | txnintn, what command are you using? | 15:55 |
| fsmithred | whole command | 15:56 |
| fsmithred | and are you trying to debootstrap a new daedalus or excalibur? | 15:58 |
| txnintn | none, | 15:58 |
| txnintn | yes | 15:58 |
| fsmithred | none what? | 15:58 |
| fsmithred | debootstrap with no command??? | 15:58 |
| fsmithred | and what error messages do you get? | 16:00 |
| txnintn | oh debootstrap --arch=amd64 daedalus --variant=minbase /mnt | 16:00 |
| fsmithred | it should work | 16:00 |
| fsmithred | gimme a few minutes and I'll try it | 16:00 |
| txnintn | yes worked the day before yesterday until about 12 noon cst, note since then. | 16:02 |
| fsmithred | is it a failure to connect to the repository? | 16:04 |
| txnintn | I ran it this was debootstrap --variant=minbase arch-amd64 daedalus /mnmt ...it look like minbase didn't happen /mnt about 207M | 16:05 |
| txnintn | I can ping with no problem... | 16:05 |
| txnintn | I wonder if the arch-inbstall-scripts changed? | 16:06 |
| txnintn | just a sec let me format this partitions and rerun for exact errors | 16:07 |
| fsmithred | you ran some arch-install script before debootstrap? | 16:20 |
| fsmithred | debootstrap --variant=minbase --arch=amd64 daedalus /mnt http://deb.devuan.org/merged | 16:22 |
| fsmithred | is running | 16:22 |
| fsmithred | I'll be back in a few minutes | 16:24 |
| txnintn | when I try the --variant=minbase after daedalus fails w/ I: Retrieving InRelease E: unknown location /mnt/dists/daedalus/InRelease | 16:27 |
| fsmithred | maybe you need to use a specific mirror or dns. | 16:44 |
| fsmithred | I got "Base system installed successfully." with around 740 packages installed | 16:45 |
| txnintn | Yes I ran arch-install-scripts prior to mounting drive and running debootstrap commnand | 16:46 |
| fsmithred | what does that do? | 16:47 |
| txnintn | I don't know for sure, just started with this about 3 days ago. | 16:48 |
| fsmithred | try without doing that on a new filesystem | 16:49 |
| fsmithred | or empty one, anyway | 16:49 |
| txnintn | my goal is a cli only install for a NAS | 16:49 |
| txnintn | I did install with --variant=minbase following debootstap then I piped it to a file 458 lines. 207m in /mnt. Does that sound right? | 16:53 |
| fsmithred | piped what to a file? | 16:54 |
| fsmithred | does not sound right not me | 16:54 |
| fsmithred | I ran the debootstrap command I posted above. Then I bind-mount proc sys and dev, then chrooted into the new system to create root password and install kernel and grub | 16:55 |
| txnintn | the debootstrap --variant=minbase --arch=and64 daedalus /mnt > /mnt/debootstra_files | 16:56 |
| fsmithred | sorry, I don't understand what you're doing there | 16:57 |
| fsmithred | so you are piping the output of the command to the partition that the command is installing to? | 16:57 |
| fsmithred | redirecting, not piping | 16:57 |
| fsmithred | if you want to save the terminal output, try tee instead, then you can see it. | 16:58 |
| txnintn | Sorry real old school guy here. started w8th dos 3.x | 16:59 |
| fsmithred | mount a clean partition, run the command I posted | 17:00 |
| fsmithred | then 'mount -bind /dev /mnt/dev' | 17:00 |
| fsmithred | and the same for proc and sys | 17:00 |
| fsmithred | then 'chroot /mnt' | 17:00 |
| fsmithred | apt install linux-image-amd64 grub-pc (assuming you aren't using uefi) | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | grub-install /dev/sdX (wherever X is) | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | update-grub | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | exit | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | reboot | 17:01 |
| txnintn | ok I will dd the drive 32g wont take long | 17:01 |
| fsmithred | were you testing this in a VM? | 17:02 |
| txnintn | nope 32 | 17:02 |
| txnintn | 32G ssd | 17:02 |
| plasma41 | ?? | 17:02 |
| fsmithred | ok, I'm confused about what you are about to dd | 17:03 |
| plasma41 | or why you're using dd at all for that matter | 17:03 |
| txnintn | dd if=/dev/zeros of=/dev/ssd | 17:04 |
| fsmithred | no need | 17:04 |
| fsmithred | mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdXn | 17:04 |
| fsmithred | sda1 maybe? | 17:05 |
| fsmithred | then mount that partition | 17:05 |
| plasma41 | Also just dropping this here https://eklitzke.org/the-cult-of-dd | 17:05 |
| fsmithred | Hey, I like dd! Then name always reminds me of what it can do if I'm not careful. | 17:06 |
| fsmithred | Whereas cat can be sneaky like a cat. | 17:06 |
| plasma41 | Destroy Disks | 17:07 |
| fsmithred | YES! | 17:07 |
| fsmithred | txnintn, does the NAS have a monitor attached, or do you have to do this over ssh? | 17:08 |
| fsmithred | oh, I forgot to create a user. You should do that before the reboot so you don't have to log in as root. | 17:10 |
| txnintn | on a monitor, I only have 5 on my 1/2 donut desk | 17:10 |
| txnintn | and freaking keyboards everyware.hahah | 17:13 |
| txnintn | formated drives, not mount | 17:17 |
| txnintn | drives -> partitution | 17:18 |
| txnintn | mounting esp sda1 to /mnt/boot | 17:19 |
| fsmithred | esp != /boot | 18:18 |
| fsmithred | mount esp partition to /boot/efi/ | 18:18 |
| fsmithred | txnintn, ^^^ | 18:19 |
| fsmithred | install grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc | 18:19 |
| fsmithred | and 'grub-install' without naming a partition. It knows where to put it. | 18:20 |
| txnintn | still with you, a little slow documenting install finding little things that need updating, like sources.list additions | 18:45 |
| txnintn | plan on using stub boot instead of grub. | 18:45 |
| rustyaxe | I may have the first 3 Devuan using dogs in the world. | 18:47 |
| rustyaxe | Their Dog TV box now runs devuan ftw | 18:47 |
| txnintn | yup, also added /boot/syslinux | 18:50 |
| txnintn | shoot not finding firmware-linux and intel-microcode | 18:52 |
| rustyaxe | firmware-linux-free and -nonfree | 18:55 |
| rustyaxe | depending on your needs | 18:55 |
| txnintn | using ecobay devuan bootstrap installation guide of github | 18:55 |
| txnintn | not bad needs a little twiking | 18:56 |
| fsmithred | https://www.devuan.org/os/packages | 18:59 |
| fsmithred | for sources.list examples | 19:00 |
| fsmithred | rustyaxe, what is Dog TV? Someone has a TV just for their dogs? | 19:00 |
| fsmithred | omg, it's not a tv for dogs, it's a tv network for dogs. | 19:02 |
| rustyaxe | Oh? They have their own TV with a computer for youtube | 19:02 |
| onefang | They have to catch up with the cats. | 19:02 |
| fsmithred | I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I used to play bird songs for my cat. | 19:03 |
| rustyaxe | when i had just one dog a few months ago, it helped her separation anxiety | 19:03 |
| rustyaxe | Now i have 3, it keeps them from playing all day and destroy house tumbling about as a 160lb ball of dog | 19:04 |
| txnintn | shoot, I have main contrib non-free with daedalus, daedalus-updates, and daedalus-backports not finding firmware-linux and intel-microcode grrr | 19:04 |
| onefang | One of the music visualisation packages includes a photo of a cat watching TV. | 19:04 |
| fsmithred | they changed the name of the firmware section | 19:04 |
| txnintn | what to firmware....hahah | 19:05 |
| fsmithred | if needed, non-free software is also available. Just add the non-free-firmware, non-free and contrib components to the appropriate line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list as required: | 19:05 |
| rustyaxe | linux-firmware-{free,nonfree} | 19:06 |
| txnintn | ok cool | 19:06 |
| fsmithred | you should have daedalus-security too | 19:06 |
| fsmithred | https://www.devuan.org/os/packages | 19:06 |
| txnintn | i'm trying to keep it small, long term is a pxe boot option, | 19:08 |
| fsmithred | install with --no-install-recommends might help | 19:09 |
| fsmithred | afk | 19:10 |
| rustyaxe | yea always good to put that in apt config so dont forget it | 19:10 |
| txnintn | I'm building my retirement house, got cameras a little home automation any may not be there 3-4 months out of the year. | 19:11 |
| rustyaxe | frigate+home assistant is lovely | 19:12 |
| txnintn | been doing apt-get install -y | 19:13 |
| txnintn | or did i mess up? | 19:13 |
| txnintn | I've been using alpine on a few device but there is some thing it cant do. | 19:14 |
| txnintn | I think I will add grub, and dd copy the drive to the second 32gb ssd. | 19:20 |
| txnintn | the next big step get to a discless install. | 19:22 |
| txnintn | installing ifupdown, it will automatically install isc-dhcp | 19:28 |
| txnintn | grub looks like it installed cleanly with no error, how to i exit chroot and restart this thing? | 19:42 |
| n4dir | exit; reboot; | 19:55 |
