fsmithred | We need someone to test firmware-iwlwifi on the 2.1 amd64 installer isos. (netinstall and dvd failed on two different laptops) | 04:50 |
---|---|---|
golinux | Failed to install during installation or failed to work? | 04:55 |
fsmithred | failed to get a network connection for the install | 05:04 |
fsmithred | both wireless and ethernet failed | 05:05 |
fsmithred | got error message about iwlwifi-3160-17.ucode | 05:05 |
fsmithred | I checked the md5sum on that file from netinstall iso and it's the same as the installed copy on my laptop. | 05:06 |
fsmithred | which works | 05:06 |
rrq | fsmithred: "failed to get a network connection for the install" is a tad vague | 06:30 |
rrq | do you know more? | 06:30 |
rrq | (you are asleep of course) | 06:32 |
golinux | rrq Scrollback on #devuan | 06:53 |
golinux | Conversation with <stovepipe> | 06:54 |
golinux | He's still on that channel if you're up for it | 06:56 |
rrq | yeah I scanned through that. would need actual details as well. e.g. did the installer try to configure interfaces, and that failed | 06:58 |
rrq | testing is good, but when it comes to network issues thare are more than 2 possibilities | 06:59 |
golinux | Ping him and ask | 07:03 |
golinux | I just plug in my wire and it works. Never had to mess with any of that | 07:03 |
rrq | I did experience a couple of times with some iso that when the hardware was just a little sluggish, the installer just skipped networking | 07:07 |
golinux | Is that the entropy thing? Just a wild guess. | 07:08 |
golinux | I remember that lack thereof screws something up. | 07:09 |
rrq | never tracked it donw; the entropy thing usually comes during boot though | 07:09 |
golinux | I have a lot of disconnected fragments floating in my head. | 07:10 |
rrq | and this concerned the ascii2.1 iso(s), which would be unaffected of repository changes at least to the point of actually downloading over the net | 07:11 |
enyc | fsmithred: hrrm i have thinkpad with iwlwifi but not sespecially recent, is that any good? | 11:21 |
enyc | fsmithred: uerr x201-tablet and original un-upgraded wifi | 11:22 |
fsmithred | enyc, thanks. I remembered that my thinkpad uses iwlwifi, and I'm testing now. I can't reproduce the problem, so I think the iso is ok. | 15:37 |
enyc | fsmithred: =) goodgood | 15:46 |
enyc | be good to see devuan-2.0 inalized eventually! | 15:46 |
enyc | uer 3.0 or whtever it is | 15:47 |
enyc | +1 beowulf-backports please! | 15:47 |
fsmithred | soon | 15:56 |
fsmithred | my UNOFFICIAL prediction is for beowulf in january | 15:56 |
fsmithred | rrq, I'm installing from amd64 netinstall without wired network. It detected the wireless and is using it. The installed system has firmware-iwlwifi installed. I can't reproduce the problem. | 16:13 |
enyc | fsmithred: can you ask the problem-reporter to test again with current image? | 17:01 |
LeePen | fsmithred: I am afraid I have just added devuan-baseconf back to unstable and beowulf. | 19:16 |
LeePen | Removing it broke the builders as ones running ascii have an older version of debootstrap that has devuan-baseconf hardcoded in it. | 19:16 |
LeePen | :( | 19:17 |
fsmithred | LeePen, maybe I'll update devuan-baseconf so it doesn't do anything. | 19:33 |
golinux | LeePen: Hope you're feeling a bit better | 19:33 |
fsmithred | it's not actually harmful, but it creates a confusing extra file under sources.list.d | 19:34 |
fsmithred | brb need coffee | 19:34 |
LeePen | fsmithred: Yes, make it an empty dummy should be ok. | 19:36 |
LeePen | golinux: Thanks. Not as much as I would like! But ignoring it for now. | 19:37 |
