tuxd3v_omen, its part of apt,00:01
omenYeah. I was unsure if I created the folder :P00:02
tuxd3v_:)00:02
tuxd3v_I also have it, its normal00:02
tuxd3v_if you want to separate your soruces file, in several files that is the right place for those :)00:03
tuxd3v_sources*00:03
onefangThat folder is where you put sources.list type files for non Devuan package repos.00:03
omenthanks :)00:06
Beerdpkg -S /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -> apt: /etc/apt/sources.list.d00:22
BeerHence, apt (:00:23

Katjehi15:56
KatjeI have a fun bug in the devuan installer15:56
XenguyKatje, Do tell16:30
Katjeso,16:31
KatjeI did an install16:31
Katjewith software raid16:31
Katjeand encryption16:31
Katjeso, actually I have a few bugs16:31
Katjebug one: if partition is already done, and encryption setup on a disk, the installer is unable to open an encrypted file system16:31
Katjeit can delete them, it can create them16:32
Katjebut not use one already setup16:32
Katjesay if the install had aborted on a previous go16:32
Katjeand16:32
Katjehaving done all this, it didn't install grub properly16:32
Katjeso I get a grub shell16:32
Katjerather than a boot menu16:32
XenguyKatje, hrm, I have a feeling fsmithred might have some insight into this16:41
Katjecool16:43
fsmithredKatje, if you're getting a grub shell instead of a menu, my first guess is that it's a uefi system and you just need to remove grub-efi-amd64-signed, then grub-install and update-grub16:49
Katjethe problem there, is with an encrypted system, I can't boot into it for recovery...16:49
fsmithredI'm also assuming that you have a separate, unencrypted /boot partition16:49
Katjeyes16:49
fsmithredboot the installation media, go to Advanced, Rescue, and open a shell in the installed system16:50
Katje512M UEFI, 1G /boot, xxG encrypted root, xxG encrypted /var16:50
KatjeI tried that but it didn't understand the encrypted stuff16:51
fsmithredthere's a way to do it manually by creating a /debian directory in the efi partition16:51
fsmithredwhat didn't understand the encrypted stuff? The installer should be able to mount the lvm16:51
gnarfacemake sure it's not that thing where there's two disks and grub is trying to boot the wrong one16:52
fsmithredBefore you run the grub commands, make sure /boot is mounted and the efi partition is mounted at /boot/efi16:52
fsmithredyeah, that too16:53
Katjewell, 2nd time round, grub menu16:58
Katjetime to put hte usb stick back in and see what it offers me16:59
Katjeso I select advanced17:01
Katjethen I select rescue mode17:01
Katjehow do I open the shell on the installed system?17:02
Katjein rescue mode, I hit the assemble raid array17:04
Katjethen auto detect17:04
Katjethen try to mount /dev/md1, which is my / partition17:04
Katjebut of course, it can't17:04
gnarfacethere isn't a menu option for opening a shell?17:04
Katjecos encrypted17:04
gnarfaceif it won't let you open a shell in the installed system, just open a shell in the installer and mount &chroot into /boot manually17:07
KatjeI've decrypted them manually17:08
Katjewhere does the installer usually put stuff, is it all under /target ?17:09
fsmithredKatje, yes during install it's in /target17:09
Katjeright, I have a shell!17:10
fsmithredapt remove grub-efi-amd64-signed17:10
Katjechroot in /target, with my encrypted fs's and /boot all mounted17:10
Katjedone17:11
fsmithreddid you chroot manually or from the menu?17:11
Katjemanually17:11
Katjethe menu doesn't know of the existance of my encrypted filesystems17:11
fsmithredyou might need to back out and bind-mount dev proc and sys17:11
fsmithredthen chroot17:11
fsmithredneeded for grub-install which I think is needed to fix the problem (but not sure)17:12
Katjegrub-install says:17:16
Katjeerror: cannot find efi directory17:16
Katjethere is a /boot/efi17:16
KatjeI have an efi partition, should that be mounted somehow?17:17
fsmithredyes, mount efi partition to /boot/efi17:17
Katjeis it vfat ?17:18
fsmithredyeah, but you shouldn't need to specify that17:18
Katjewell that seems to hav edonw something17:19
KatjeI suppose reboot and see what happens is the next step ?17:19
KatjeSo, I think the biggest bugs here are: the installer doesn't understand an encrypted file system if it has already been created17:24
Katjeit's ok if it already existed17:24
Katjebut if not17:24
Katjeit doesn't know what to do17:24
fsmithredKatje, are you using beowulf or chimaera?  (3.1 or 4.0?)17:38
fsmithredI have a single encrypted root partition with separate /boot and /efi partitions, and rescue mode asks for a hostname, then it asks for the password for the encrypted volume, then it asks what to mount as root fs, then it asks if I want to mount the separate /boot and then the separate efi partition. Then it will chroot the installed system.17:45
fsmithredno lvm, no raid here17:45
Katjebeowulf17:49
GyrosGeierwhy do you have /boot and /efi?17:57
GyrosGeierthey both have the same purpose17:58
GyrosGeieror is that a grub shortcoming?17:58
gnarfaceefi is hardware specific17:59
gnarfacenot everything has it17:59
GyrosGeiertrue, but there is usually no point in having both a /boot partition and a /efi partition on the same box18:00
GyrosGeiergrub should be able to load a kernel off the EFI partition18:01
gnarfacehmmm18:01
KatjeGyrosGeier: the installer will not let you have an encrypted root if you do not also have a /boot18:06
GyrosGeierah18:07
GyrosGeierprobably no sensible path to configure grub this way from the installer18:07
KatjeI've learnt that the hardway..18:07
ham5urgHow do I use s-nail when login is an email address\ Idk how to escape @ in -S 'smtp=smtps://a@example.com:password@mailer.example.com'. I tried \ but no.19:24
ham5urg...is an email address?19:25
nemoham5urg: wouldn't that be standard URI encoding?19:42
nemosure looks like a URI19:42
nemoham5urg: that is... %4019:43
nemoconsole.log(encodeURIComponent('foo@bar.com'));19:43
ham5urgnemo, thanks. With your JS example I got some more special chars encoded19:54
nemoham5urg: watch out that you don't encode the second @ ☺19:55
ham5urgHehe19:56
