| systemdlete | leaving a message here for fsmithred, in case I miss him again. This is in regard to testing out the 2021-9-11 refracta install: | 05:06 |
|---|---|---|
| systemdlete | fsmithred: Just tried out your newest (2021-9-11) refracta install. It was great until I got to where it asks me which partition to use for each file system. There needs to be a reference so it can easily be determined which partitions to use. The alternative is to try to remember (yeah, right) or write it down on a piece of... uh... what did they call that. Paper or something. | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | I even labeled each file system in the partitioning step. (using gparted) | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | not meaning to nitpick, and maybe other people won't care about this, idk. Not sure who the intended audience/skill level is supposed to be. But even this IT veteran struggles a bit with software installs. | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | I'll try again, and this time I'll open a window to list the partition labels (should have done that the first time!) | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | also, maybe a way to edit previous partition assignments? It's easy to make a mistake in this step. | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | The second time, I did get a window listing the partitions, but I skipped the partitioning since I did that the 1st time. That window is handy, but it should be available even if a partitioner is chosen. (Or did I just miss that window somehow the first time?) | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | Just a couple of other observations. I allocated 6g for /usr (I like having /usr on a sep partition). I also set up separate /var and /tmp. But the assignment step doesn't ask me BEFORE the install. The problem is that there might not be enough space on / to complete the install. | 05:06 |
| systemdlete | There was a message right after that saying it seems the install has stopped. But it does actually continue. I noticed that / was at 100%, so that is likely why that error showed. | 05:06 |
| Xenguy | .oO( Dave's not here... But the channel is logged so it won't be lost... ) | 05:11 |
| rrq | LeePen: is it possible to promote rrqnet=1.1 to chimaera? | 10:31 |
| LeePen | Sure, I'll give britney a hint. | 11:21 |
| golinux | Has there ever been a "Dave" here? I can't remember one. | 16:45 |

| Xenguy | Well you have to admit, it is a classic now | 22:55 |
| golinux | And it is off-topic. | 23:08 |
| bb|hcb | fsmithred: I have tested the chimaera ISOs on an EFI only machine - all amd64 ones boot fine, except devuan_chimaera_4.0.beta_2021-09-05_amd64_minimal-live.iso (I assume that is normal, because the respective _beta_uefi one is OK) | 23:39 |
| fsmithred | bb|hcb, thanks. And yes, there is a bios-only amd64 minimal-live. | 23:41 |
| fsmithred | the uefi minimal live was an experiment. (That one also does bios, same as the amd64 desktop-live) | 23:41 |
