| rrq | Jjp137: thanks. | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Jjp137 | np | 01:22 |
| rrq | yes, the "choose a mirror for the installation" is off place when your don't have network. | 01:23 |
| rrq | of course you should answer "no", but I'm not sure how much it helps | 01:26 |
| Jjp137 | oh for the first one that appears before you set up users, I don't get a yes/no choice | 01:27 |
| rrq | pk. yes CD1 needs more work. | 01:28 |
| rrq | pk=ok | 01:28 |
| rrq | I haven't worked out how to trigger the "add CD" dialog(s) | 01:28 |
| rrq | if I remember right, it dod come up when I installed without network devices | 01:31 |
| rrq | did | 01:31 |
| rrq | which doesn't help many | 01:32 |
| Jjp137 | huh weird; didn't come up for me | 01:32 |
| rrq | but.. it's possible (with fiddling) to install from the CD (set), sothiese issues goes into the immediate backlog of required improvements, after the 2.1 drop | 01:34 |
| rrq | (early morning here :)) | 01:34 |
| Jjp137 | hm this is where it's determined if additional CDs are asked for: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/apt-setup/blob/suites/ascii/generators/41cdset | 01:45 |
| Jjp137 | the 2.1 cd-1 iso is missing .disk/cd_type for some reason, which is on the 2.0 cd-1 iso | 01:46 |
| Jjp137 | so that might be why it doesn't even know to ask for more discs | 01:47 |
| rrq | great. I hold back the drop a few days and get that fixed... | 01:53 |
| rrq | Jjp137: I have difficulties getting rid of the choose-mirror step: if the udeb is excluded, the bootstrap initrd ends up without any /bin/sh (??) | 03:46 |
| Jjp137 | ...um how in the heck | 03:47 |
| rrq | I've tried following up on dependency packages but haven't been able to find which (if any) makes /bin/sh appear | 03:49 |
| rrq | of course without choose-mirror one won't get to chose a mirror for installation | 03:50 |
| rrq | (if it had worked:)) | 03:50 |
| rrq | adding .disk/cd_type was good though | 03:51 |
| Jjp137 | that's good at least | 03:52 |
| Jjp137 | but yea right now I'm basically thinking "what did the 2.0 iso do" | 03:53 |
| rrq | the cd scanner only checks presence of .disk/cd_type ... so the "scan more CD" dialog comes up also for netinstall | 03:59 |
| Jjp137 | I think that's fine; according to that commit it's intended I guess | 04:00 |
| rrq | root | 04:00 |
| rrq | oops wrong window :) | 04:00 |
| Jjp137 | lol | 04:00 |
| Jjp137 | okay I experimented with a 2.0 iso expert install, and choose-mirror shows up in the list of components to load from CD | 04:13 |
| Jjp137 | so it's there but not loaded by default because...I don't know | 04:13 |
| Jjp137 | and if I load it and continue, then I get the same issue with the 2.1 iso | 04:13 |
| Jjp137 | a workaround might be to just not load it by default since some other component asks anyway after the "add more CDs" question | 04:18 |
| Jjp137 | which is weird but... | 04:18 |
| Jjp137 | okay I don't know what the point of choose-mirror actually is now because I get asked the same questions without it loaded | 04:28 |
| Jjp137 | right after being asked for more CDs | 04:28 |
| rrq | yes, I'm checking the variant of having busybox-udeb (directly) and no choose-mirror ... relying on the later mirror choice. | 04:54 |
| rrq | since netinstall as well has the base system on the iso | 04:54 |
| rrq | mmm that seems better ... changes the installaion process -- golix will be happy : | 05:01 |
| golinux | ? | 05:23 |
| * golinux is busy reformatting the docs | 05:23 | |
| rrq | anyone knows why the network gets configured with "allow-hotplug"? ("auto" would be much better) | 06:03 |
| Jjp137 | this might be a good place to start: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/netcfg/blob/suites/ascii/write_interface.c | 06:12 |
| Jjp137 | btw, the win32 boot thing does work for the 2.1 cd-1 iso, at least in a VM | 06:22 |
| rrq | bonus :) | 06:23 |
| rrq | .. and busybox-udeb worked to get rid of initia choose-mirror ... all good (except that the doc needs change and I have to rebuild them all) | 06:25 |
| Jjp137 | that's great! (well maybe not the docs part :p) | 06:26 |
