| gnarface | xrogaan: that thing about the rng thing is starting to ring a bell but i can't remember anything specific | 02:42 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | there might be a fix | 02:43 |
| gnarface | but it still might not be important | 02:43 |
| systemdlete | How would one contact the Star devs? (I may have asked this before) There is no indication of a support space, not even a user forum where Star users could try to work out issues. | 04:29 |
| systemdlete | The problem I am running into is not being able to mount a disk from inside the installer environment. It used to work in Spock (beowulf?) but not in Uhuru (I think chimaera). | 04:30 |
| systemdlete | I checked that the usb drivers for it are loaded and they are. | 04:30 |
| systemdlete | See, I am trying hard to keep my home systems diversified a bit, maybe for security, but also so I can compare various problems against similar but not the same distros. Kind of like... well, THIS problem, e.g. | 04:32 |
| systemdlete | I find it helpful. | 04:32 |
| gry | systemdlete: is there a package name | 04:34 |
| systemdlete | The only "outlet" for possibly soliciting answers would be their Reviews section on sourceforge. | 04:35 |
| systemdlete | what package? | 04:35 |
| systemdlete | I'm just trying to mount a drive, that's all. | 04:35 |
| systemdlete | mount is there, but mkfs is not | 04:35 |
| systemdlete | mount just tells me either an argument is bad, or the device is non-existent. (Even though, clearly, ls -l /dev/sdb does show a device) | 04:36 |
| systemdlete | mount -v does nothing that I can see | 04:36 |
| gry | oh, i see, it is from inside installer | 04:36 |
| systemdlete | right | 04:36 |
| systemdlete | I escape out to a console (F2) and try to mount the file system. | 04:37 |
| systemdlete | This works under Spock(Beowulf) but not Uhuru(Chimaera) | 04:37 |
| systemdlete | (I mean the installers for) | 04:38 |
| xrogaan | IDK what a star dev is. | 05:21 |
| gry | systemdlete: what about live cd? if you try to access that partition from within a live cd rather than from within the installer? | 05:40 |
| aitor | systemdelete: although fdisk-udev exists, it's not installed by default in d-i. In order to list partitions/devices you need to run (respectively) the following commands: `list-devices usb-partition` and `list-devices disk` | 11:14 |
| aitor | the dev of Star is Ozi Traveller | 11:15 |
| aitor | ensure that the target already exists, for instance, if you're going to mount it in /cdrom, first create the directory with `mkdir -p /cdrom` | 11:28 |
| FatPhil | typically suitable mountpoints in /media will already exist for those kinds of things | 11:29 |
| aitor | then try specifying the format of the partition with something like this: | 11:29 |
| aitor | mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /cdrom | 11:30 |
| aitor | FatPhil: yes, unless the preseed.cfg file prevents it | 11:31 |
| aitor | systemdlete: uncompress the iso image and have a look at the install/preseed.cfg file... | 11:33 |
| aitor | if you find something like this: | 11:34 |
| aitor | d-i partman/early_command string umount /media; | 11:34 |
| aitor | then the origin of the issue is there | 11:35 |
| aitor | or may be there, better said | 11:37 |
| aitor | I mean: you are mounting the partition, but the preseed.cfg file might be forcing d-i to unmount it afterwards | 11:39 |
| aitor | bbl :) | 11:40 |
| onefang | IPv6 is back up for sledjhmar.org now. Still waiting for the DNS RR to update in half an hour. | 14:30 |
| xrogaan | gnarface: the random thing didn't happen this time. Might have been a hickup. | 15:09 |
| dishsoap | Hi | 15:24 |
| aitor | above i meant fdisk-udeb, not fdisk-udev | 17:46 |
| systemdlete | So how does one get in touch with Ozi Traveller then? I am guessing that posting to the reviews section on their sourceforge page might get their attention, but idk. | 23:07 |
| systemdlete | actually, nvm everyone. I took aitor's suggestion and tried doing this from live, and that works. I can do an install from there. | 23:18 |
| systemdlete | thanks for all the ideas and suggestions! devuan is great, mostly because of the superb help I can get here. That makes a lot of difference for me. | 23:18 |
| fsmithred | systemdlete, you can get Ozi's attention by posting in the Devuan Derivatives section of the forum. | 23:25 |
| fsmithred | or probably send him an email from inside the forum. | 23:26 |
