rrqah it's in the "load components" dialog00:09
fsmithredbrocashelm, I don't know if that is intentional. I noticed the same thing a few days ago.00:33
darwinis there devbootstrap?08:18
gnarfacedarwin: the version of debootstrap in devuan's repos will work with devuan08:20
gnarface(and as far as i know it should still run on debian)08:27
darwinit said: W: Couldn't download package initscripts (ver 2.96-7+devuan2 arch all) at http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEVUAN/main/s/sysvinit/initscripts_2.96-7+devuan2_all.deb08:39
brocashelmit downloads for me08:43
brocashelmdo you have a spare pc with a working internet connection that you could download that file on, transfer to a device like usb, and then transfer it over to the target pc to run with dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb?08:43
gnarfaceyea, downloads for me too08:45
gnarfacedarwin: cannot reproduce your issue, but that deb.devuan.org domain is actually a DNS round-robin, so maybe you just got bad luck and hit a downed or updating repo, try it again and it should work08:45
onefanghttps://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html isn't reporting any down or recently updating deb.devuan.org mirrors.08:47
gnarfacewell it could be a routing issue between darwin and whichever server it hit first too08:49
darwinso I have to do the whole thing over again after it's done in some hours?08:55
darwinyou also have to make changes to it for it to work with Devuan08:56
gnarfaceyou mean you have to make some changes for it to work with debian?08:57
gnarfacedo what over again after it's done in some hours?08:57
gnarfacewhat's your status currently? do you have the devuan debootstrap now running on a debian system?08:58
darwini didn't say that08:58
gnarfacei'm trying to understand what you are saying08:58
darwini haven't used Debian since about 200008:58
gnarfacewhat are you actually trying to do? maybe i assumed the wrong thing from the start.08:59
darwinyou have to make changes to debootstrap for it to work with Devuan--otherwise it downloads Devuan08:59
darwini mean otherwise it downloads Debian08:59
darwinto get Devuan you have to make some changes08:59
gnarfacei don't think that's actually true08:59
gnarfaceit will default to using your system sources.list but you should be able to pass a repo url on the command-line09:00
gnarfacelast i heard, the debian version would download any debian derivative except devaun, but the devuan version will download any of them09:00
darwinthat's why I asked for it in the first place09:01
darwini was told to: cd /usr/share/deboostrap/scripts09:02
darwinrm ceres; wget https://git.devuan.org/devuan/debootstrap/raw/branch/suites/beowulf-proposed-updates/scripts/ceres; ln -s ceres chimaera; debootstrap --arch amd64 chimaera /mnt/devuan http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera09:02
darwini don't have a sources.list09:02
darwinit worked now09:02
darwindoes adding devuan to the installer script in amdgpu-install_5.5.50500-1_all.deb make the drivers work on Devuan (like they do on other Debian/Ubuntu variants) or do these depend on systemd?09:15
darwinthe source is AMD (though they changed a lot of the drivers to Free/Libre Software in ROCm): http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/latest/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_5.5.50500-1_all.deb09:16
gnarfacedarwin: no, but please stop trying to shoehorn non-devuan packages into devuan unnecessarily. that package is in the devaun repos already.09:18
gnarfacedarwin: note that starting with current testing (daedalus) it's in "non-free-firmware" instead of "non-free" but this change mirrors debian09:19
darwini see09:19
darwini'm not trying to shoehorn packages, but if it's already there seems that doesn't apply09:20
