| bradd | dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: | 09:16 |
|---|---|---|
| bradd | files list file for package 'iperf3' is missing final newline | 09:16 |
| bradd | any ideas? | 09:16 |
| DPA | Maybe something got corrupted? I'd try "apt-get remove iperf3; apt-get update; apt-get clean; apt-get install iperf3" | 09:18 |
| bradd | same thing. this is beowulf btw | 09:20 |
| DPA | I don't know what could cause this, then. I can install it on my machines. | 09:23 |
| bradd | ok. Is it fairly trivial to upgrade from beowulf? | 09:25 |
| DPA | Yes, but I didn't have the problem on beowulf either, so I'm not sure if that would help. | 09:28 |
| bradd | http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main non-free contrib look ok? (as the apt source url) | 09:31 |
| DPA | Yes, this looks normal. | 09:32 |
| bradd | apt upgrade does the same thing. | 09:35 |
| bradd | If I install chimaera from dvd, will all my /etc/* stuff and /home/* stuff remain intact? | 09:37 |
| DPA | It depends. If it's on a different partition, at least /home/ should. Otherwise, I'm not sure, probably not. | 09:39 |
| bradd | ok. If I dont find a fix, I'll backup everything then do a clean install | 09:40 |
| critr | if /x is on a separate partition, and if you don't format /x during the install, and if you assign /x a mount point when you install, then /x will remain intact. | 09:41 |
| bradd | yeah, its all on a raid-10 disk array, just 1 partition | 09:42 |
| critr | if /x is not already on a separate partition, you can rsync it to one before you start. | 09:43 |
| bradd | yeah, I think I'm going to go that route | 09:43 |
| critr | note that there might or might not be compatibility issues in the config files between distro versions. probably not much if anything. | 09:44 |
| bradd | I'll just use the backup as reference for the things I may need to change | 09:45 |
| DPA | Another thing you could try, "rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*", and then "apt-get update" | 09:45 |
| bradd | tried. didn't work | 09:46 |
| bradd | just fyi, I got it working by removing /var/lib/dpkg/info/iperf3.* | 10:15 |
| bradd | running chimaera now :) | 10:16 |
| Kitty | is there a way to pass to the installer the settings for tasksel so I don't have to untick desktop environment every time? | 11:39 |
| fier | you are likely looking for this: https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/apbs04.en.html#preseed-pkgsel | 11:41 |
| Kitty | thanks | 11:50 |
| fier | you're welcome! | 11:50 |
| Kitty | why is there some basic alsa stuff installed when doing a net install? | 12:38 |
| djph | because people want sound, even on a netinst? | 12:38 |
| ukine | hi mro_ | 12:39 |
| Kitty | erm, why are there a load of games installed by default? | 12:44 |
| miojo | Good Morning! | 12:54 |
| ukine | good morning miojo | 12:55 |
| fier | kitty, i've seen nothing like that | 12:56 |
| Kitty | I did a netinstall of chimera, installing just ssh, console productivity, and the base install. | 12:56 |
| fier | what games are installed? | 12:56 |
| Kitty | I get things like gnuchess, empire, ninvaders, etc... | 12:56 |
| fier | gonna have a look | 12:58 |
| Kitty | ditto ghostscript, and a load of other crap I don't need :( | 12:58 |
| Kitty | tin, toilet, ispell... | 12:58 |
| Kitty | in tasksel I opted for "ssh server" and "console productivity" | 12:59 |
| fier | perhaps part of the console productivity? still looking | 12:59 |
| fier | yep, i have no gnuchess or anything. i think that's all in "console productivity", which i don't think i have installed | 13:02 |
| Kitty | removing console productivity nuked dns | 13:02 |
| djph | oops | 13:05 |
| fier | dns? | 13:06 |
| fier | was there a dns server installed or something? | 13:06 |
| Kitty | dhcp lost it's lease for some reason | 13:08 |
| fier | if you can't reach your dns server anymore, you my need to run "sudo dhclient", if you use dhcp | 13:08 |
| Kitty | phew. | 13:08 |
| Kitty | right | 13:08 |
| Kitty | now to work out what got removed | 13:08 |
| fier | for network management, i personally like to install network-manager. it has a neat GUI you can use in your console, if you use nmtui | 13:10 |
| Kitty | I *really* dislike network mangler | 13:10 |
| fier | ah for me it just does the job | 13:10 |
| Kitty | so does vi /etc/network/interfaces | 13:11 |
| fier | you obviously don't use windows | 13:11 |
| Kitty | yeah, i've been a linux admin for a couple of decades | 13:12 |
| fier | aye | 13:13 |
| Kitty | I have a machine where I installed console productivity as beowulf and another with chimera | 13:44 |
| Kitty | the beowulf one does not have all the games | 13:44 |
| Kitty | so this appears to be new | 13:44 |
| fier | it could be a debian 10/11 thing, perhaps? i'm pretty new to devuan, not sure what beowulf was based on | 13:44 |
| djph | beowulf is based on oldstable ... uh ... I can never keep the Debian codenames straight though ... buster maybe? | 14:14 |
| fier | ah, you are correct | 14:15 |
| * blockhead keeps losing track of the names also :o | 14:23 | |
