Alverstonefsmithred, next time when making live ISOs would it be a problem to add btrfs-progs? Will take little space but the benefit is palpable. Not everyone uses graphical install. If you got debootstrap on board, btrfs-progs will be a good addition15:40
gnarfaceAlverstone: fyi you could make your own with refracta tools15:53
gnarfacethe mini live iso is non-graphical though, maybe it has btrfs? dunno...15:54
Alverstonegnarface, I am lazy and actually never worked with refracta. How easy it is, exactly?15:59
AlverstoneBesides, the benefit will go beyond just me16:00
AlverstoneSome people complained to me not a long ago that they couldn't install Devuan with btrfs using default ISOs16:00
n4dirThen create such an iso.16:05
fsmithredAlverstone, I can't tell you why it's not there. I thought I added it to the list a few releases ago, but maybe I'm confusing the devuan isos with the refracta isos.16:06
fsmithredand you just reminded me that I started a build this morning. Need to check it.16:06
Alverstonefsmithred, https://merlin.fit.vut.cz/mirrors/devuan-cd/devuan_daedalus/desktop-live/16:08
fsmithredHow easy:  Install the system the way you want in a VM. Run refractasnapshot. Use the resulting iso. For extra credit, read the comments in the config file.16:08
AlverstoneI used desktop live and it doesn't have btrfs, maybe I confuse something?16:08
fsmithredI'll check.16:09
AlverstoneThank you16:10
fsmithredit's not there in amd64 iso16:13
fsmithredI'll make sure it's there in excalibur and any daedalus point-release16:14
fsmithredalso, if you have a network connection in the live session, you can install whatever you need, limited by the amount of RAM you have.16:14
fsmithredand then install to the system16:14
fsmithredTrickier part is that refractainstaller isn't setup to recognize or use btrfs. Some manual hacking is required.16:15
fsmithredThere are a few discussions on the forum about that.16:15
fsmithreddoes debian-installer handle btrfs now?16:16
n4direvery other day someone asks, i am not really interested, so don't listen carefully, but i don't think so16:16
n4dirat least not "comfortable"16:16
AlverstoneIt's been a while since I bothered with graphical install on anything except ubuntu, so I don't really know. I have a bookworm ISO so I might check it out16:18
AlverstoneBy the way Debian installation media tends to be close to 4GB, but Devuan's is only about 1.5GB, why so?16:20
fsmithredext2/3/4, btrfs, jfs, xfs, fat16/3216:22
Alverstonefsmithred, 12.6.0 bookworm CD has btrfs-progs16:22
fsmithredwhich isos are you comparing? devual live to debian live?16:23
Alverstonewish I knew16:23
fsmithredif so, I would guess that gnome takes up 3GB16:23
AlverstoneAnyway their graphical installator allows btrfs formatting as well16:24
fsmithredit's in the devuan installer isos, too16:24
fsmithredjust not in the live16:24
Alverstonefsmithred, https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/16:24
Alverstonehw16:24
Alverstonesorry16:24
Alverstonewrong link16:24
AlverstoneI have a file named "debian-live-12.6.0-amd64-lxqt.iso" but I don't remember where exactly I got it16:26
Alverstonehttps://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/16:26
AlverstoneThis probably16:26
fsmithredI don't know why their xfce iso is 3G (twice as big as ours). Maybe systemd takes up a lot of space and also we don't include a graphical installer because it takes up a lot of space.16:29
fsmithredBut I think "a lot" in that case is 100-200MB16:30
fsmithredbrb16:31
AlverstoneBut your live ISO contains some graphical installer? It's way simpler that Debian's, but still16:31
AlverstoneThat icon on the desktop "Install Devuan"16:31
fsmithredyeah, refractainstaller has a graphical version that uses yad (zenity on steroids)16:42
schillingklauswould a cli version of refractinstaller be possible?16:43
fsmithredyes, run 'refractainstaller' in a root terminal16:43
fsmithredor sudo refractainstaller16:43
fsmithredand you can use that to do some things that the installer doesn16:44
fsmithredt support16:44
fsmithredlike raid or lvm - requires manual intervention.16:44
fsmithredhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=232316:45
schillingklausunderstandably, manipulating the hard drive requires root rights16:46
fsmithredI need to go stack some firewood. I'll be back in a little bit.16:46
Alverstonedoes programming in a forest boost you skill?16:54
schillingklausis that a question about machine learning?16:56
fsmithredlol17:34
fsmithredAlverstone, I'm in the middle of horse fields. Next door there are cows and goats.17:35
alvgood question !!17:38
djphfsmithred: your animals?17:52
fsmithreddjph, my niece has horses20:02
fsmithredand I think there's one boarder20:02

AlverstoneWas I kicked out for inactivity or what?20:18
Alverstonefrom entire libera20:18
fsmithredno, you don't get kicked out for inactivity. I stay connected for weeks at a time.20:21
golinuxI am always on too even when I'm sleeping and suspended.20:31
freem<Alverstone> >Remote host closed socket23:25
freemThat may be related to inactivity... the one of your internet connection. I mean: connection time-outing.23:25
