rossignolAre there instructions or scripts available for generating an installable iso?02:59
DelTomix rossignol: What media are you planning to boot from? (i.e. USB?) and what OS are you running on which you would copy the ISO?03:17
rossignolI'd probably be dd'ing an iso to a USB or booting a VM from it.03:18
rossignolI'd be running buildscripts from debian or ubuntu.03:18
rossignolMaybe void.03:18
DelTomixok - you can download installer or live ISO images, you should have no problem booting them in a VM. Both the live and installer ISO's have installer options03:19
DelTomixhttps://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/03:20
DelTomixYou can download via that link (there also a "mirrors" link at the bottom to choose a mirror. For installation with the standard installer you can check here: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/daedalus/install-devuan03:22
rossignolDeltomix, I'm looking to do Ceres or Excalibur.03:24
rossignolHaven't seen any isos.03:24
brocashelmthere are no official devuan ceres isos; it is an unfinished branch that will never be "released"03:25
DelTomixYou will not see ISO's for Ceres, that is unstable. Excalibur ISO's are not available just yet, you are better off to install stable (daedalus) and then if you want Excalibur you can dist upgrade from there03:25
brocashelmchange your apt's sources.list from daedalus to excalibur (only one repo)03:26
brocashelmcomment out the rest03:26
DelTomixalso if you want more recent released packages you might consider rather sticking with Stable and adding repositories for backports, and proposed-updates03:26
brocashelmyeah, daedalus-backports currently provides linux 6.4 kernel03:27
DelTomixalso if you start with daedalus, you can always try it with backports to see how that works for you, and if you decide you still want Excalibur you can still do the dist upgrade (same as you would from Chimaera to Daedalus, except substitute with Daedalus to Excalibur, respectively)  Instructions for dist-upgrade can be found here;03:35
DelTomixhttps://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/daedalus/upgrade-to-daedalus03:35
DelTomixsince Daedalus only released a couple months ago - there is not yet much difference with Excalibur/testing.03:40
AEonFyrIs anyone here running vms under daedalus xen (4.17.2-pre) and if so, are you able to pygrub boot a debian bookworm netinst.iso?11:16
avboxI tried to update from Chimaera to Daedalus. During apt dist-upgrade I get the error: libpam0g:amd64, first error is: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/overload.pm line 5 Any ideas?13:41
fsmithredin daedalus, line 5 of that file is:  no warnings 'experimental::builtin';13:45
avbox@fsmithred: What file ?13:49
fsmithredand "BEGIN" does not appear in that file or in the pre/post install scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl-base.*13:49
fsmithred  /usr/lib/x86_64blah... overload.pm13:49
avboxfsmithred: Yes at that line 5 it is written experimental::builtin13:51
fsmithredI don't know what that means13:51
avboxfsmithred: In overload.pm at line 5 I find: no warnings 'experimental::builtin';13:53
fsmithredgot any other error messages?13:53
avboxfsmithred: After first error, there is: Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm line 346.13:55
avboxfsmithred: There is also a warning: debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Unknown warnings category 'experimental::builtin'13:56
fsmithredmaybe dpkg-reconfigure perl-base?13:57
avboxfsmithred: Does not help, same error messages. I think debconf does not work correct or it was not installed correct.13:59
fsmithredI have no other ideas right now. I haven't run into this problem on any upgrades I've done.14:02
fsmithredmaybe remove libpam0g for the upgrade and then add it back afterward. Looks like it's needed for openssh-server.14:03

fsmithred)17:52
avboxI still don't can update to Daedalus, I always get defconf error with dist-upgrade. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/overload.pm line 5.21:00
avboxLine 5 in that file is: no warnings 'experimental::builtin';21:02
rrqdisk space?21:04
avbox@rrq: Two partitions, once 20 tb and on second 50 tb, can't be the problem21:08
avbox@rrq: free disk space21:08
rrqsounds like it should be enough :) I was just wondering about the space wherein the "compilation" occurs... if that's a smallish tmp space or something. Just a first thing to check.21:11
rrqnext: are you using that apt sandboxing? with an _apt user; maybe that user doesn;t have write access to where that "compilation" occurs?21:13
rwpHmm... /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/overload.pm is in perl-base.  I'll note that it installed no problems for me.  But I feel it must be some perl module mismatch to cause that.21:14
rrqtry editing /etc/passwd and add "OFF" before "_apt" (so as to disable that sandboxing) and see if that works21:14
rwpIf it were me I would install apt-show-versions then run "apt-show-versions | grep -v -e uptodate" and review the result.  I would be suspicious of any perl package listed.  I would purge those.21:16
avboxIt looks like debconf is broken. dpkg -i debconf_1.5.82_all.deb21:18

rwpavbox, Careful about pasting more than a line into the channel!  There is a Libera global bot that will kick and possibly k-line you!21:19
rwpSince debconf itself is a perl script this is a symptom that debconf itself is suffering from the perl breakage.21:20
rwpThe problem summary as I see it seems to be "How to fix perl when perl itself is broken?"  Hmm...  Contemplating...21:22
rrqI suppose commenting out that line 5 would make it not break there...21:24
avboxCommenting out line 5 results in: Built-in function 'builtin::blessed' is experimental at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/overload.pm line 105.21:26
avboxLine 105 is: $package = builtin::blessed($package);21:26
fsmithreddid you try removing openssh-server?21:26
fsmithredand then dist-upgrade and then install it again21:26
rwpOn my desktop I have 354 perl packages installed.  Which makes me suggesting to review those manually hard to do.  But I suspect that originally there was a mix of perl from 3rd parties that don't work together which has caused this breakage originally.21:26
rrqavbox: was it a warning or an error?21:27
avboxLine 105 is an error, I try to remove openssh-server21:28
fsmithredand libpam0g21:30
fsmithredI don't remember how I came up with that21:30
rwpHmm...  Group:  What about adding a preferences file to pin strongly to OldStable (which seemingly worked) and then pull all of perl back to something that functioned.  Then move forward from there?21:31
rwpSince perl is priority required it is hard to suggest purging it and re-installing it in order to get things working...21:32
rrqyes, and perhaps forced reinstall of perl-base is good21:39
avboxThere was another no warnings 'experimental::builtin in Hash/Util.mp. I removed it and now it goes further on21:43
avboxWanted to say Hash/Util.pm. There are many packages, it is now at 10%, so I need to wait. Thank you at all for the hints.21:45
