bsmithJust did a fresh re-install, going from jessie to beowulf.  maintainers have done a fantastic job.  thanks!03:05
Xenguybsmith, Did you distupgrade from jessie -> ascii -> beowulf, or ...?03:06
XenguyOh sorry, you said fresh install, gotcha03:08
XenguyGlad it worked out for you03:08
bsmithhad to do a fresh install because like a fool, i made / too small to do a proper distupgrade03:09
kreyrenwhat is the easiest way for kid to install devuan/debian on their windows system with dualbooting?03:18
kreyrenthe currently don't even have a flash disk03:18
kreyren01:36x.x03:18
Xenguybsmith, yeah, usually I leave a few extra Gigs for dist-upgrades03:20
Xenguykreyren, gparted might help with partitioning03:20
kreyrenXenguy: he doesn't have flash disk03:21
kreyrenand is no windows atm03:21
kreyren*on03:21
XenguySounds like you have a research project on your hands03:22
bsmithif i knew Windows a little better, i'd offer to help, but...  last time i tried dual-booting...  not sure even Debian existed back then.03:25
XenguyFWIW, I've dual booted W!ndows and Linux, np; stay away from UEFI if you can, might make things easier03:26
kreyren<Xenguy "Sounds like you have a research "> x.x03:29
kreyreni also didn't have issues with dualbooting as long as i use GRUB03:30
kreyrenbcs MBR sees linux and decide wow thing for me to poke with bits to break with~03:30
XenguyYou just need to find a good HOWTO03:30
XenguyAnd #devuan is here too03:31
fsmithredwhen I've done it, I used windows to resize (shrink) the windows partition, then boot the linux installation media and let the installer create a partition in the free space that you made.03:32
XenguyI once even used the NT boot-loader instead of GRUB; never again : -)03:33
XenguySometimes Linux is just so much better03:34
fsmithredoh, and windows should really be defragged before you shrink it03:34
Kittywhy does the Devuan xen-tools package, not support installing of devuan?12:20

ham5urgIs my laptop with Thunderbolt3 also a laptop with USB4.12:46
ham5urg?12:46
ShorTie4, 1st i've heard of that12:46
ham5urgFirst usb4 devices are available.12:48
ham5urgLooks to me that tb3 was rebranded to usb412:51
ham5urgThe only "thing" which made tb3 incompatible was that tb3 devices don't work with usb-only-ports.12:52
ham5urgAFAIK at least.12:52
ham5urgMaybe this is now changed and usb4 devices can act like tb3 devices with usb-compatibility.12:53
onefangUSB branding is a mess.  Best to look it up in the laptop specs.  Also, #devuan-offtopic.12:54
