| Beer | Hello LeePen, I just downloaded chimaera live desktop image, and I notice /live/memtest86+.bin is missing, hence the "Memory test" entry of grub.cfg is ineffective. Is this intended? | 01:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Beer | It was there in ascii's and beowulf's, hence I suspect an oversight | 01:38 |
| golinux | Beer: fsmithred does the desktop-live images | 02:13 |
| golinux | Nice to see you! It's been a while. :) | 02:14 |
| fsmithred | linux16 /live/memtest86+.bin | 02:14 |
| fsmithred | ^^^ grub menu for uefi | 02:15 |
| fsmithred | kernel /live/memtest | 02:15 |
| fsmithred | ^^^ isolinux menu for bios boot | 02:15 |
| Beer | golinux: Yup :) Nice seeing you too | 02:16 |
| fsmithred | memtest kernel should be there under both names | 02:16 |
| Beer | There are no memtest thingies under /live/ in devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop-live.iso | 02:17 |
| fsmithred | sjot | 02:17 |
| Beer | -jo +hi? | 02:18 |
| fsmithred | yeah | 02:18 |
| Beer | Hehehe | 02:18 |
| fsmithred | bad hand position | 02:18 |
| Beer | I came here, because I checked ascii & beowulf images and there were such files, as I initially mentioned | 02:18 |
| Beer | Looks like an oversight | 02:18 |
| Beer | I fell back to burning a beowulf image for my needs. Got a scare about symbols because you need to boot the DVD in non-UEFI mode to make it work. Is this a limitation from memtest86+? | 02:19 |
| fsmithred | probably an oversight. I was under pressure to make the isos in a hurry. Also possible I blew it off because memtest doesn't work in most cases. | 02:22 |
| fsmithred | I looked into getting the new version, but you have to download the whole iso. | 02:22 |
| fsmithred | bios and uefi recognize different names for memtest. I don't know why, so I just copied it to both names. | 02:25 |
| Beer | OK great. I would be glad not having to switch between beowulf & chimaera depending on whether I'm checking RAM or doing recovery work, but... no pressure! :D | 02:29 |
| fsmithred | https://get.refracta.org/files/stable/?2022 <- this one has memtest for bios boot and is an all-around better choice for a rescue/repair CD | 02:33 |
| Beer | Never heard of it. Will give it a try someday | 02:36 |
| rrq | there is "usr/lib/refractasnapshot/iso/live/memtest" in the squashfs of the desktop-live | 02:37 |
| rrq | it appears to be a bios mode memtest | 02:37 |
| fsmithred | oh, thanks. Yeah, it got installed | 02:38 |
| fsmithred | I guess I should add a line to the blend script to make sure it gets copied. | 02:38 |
| fsmithred | the minimal-live isos have /live/memtest | 02:44 |
| onefang_ | fsmithred: Alas I suspect if I go to the trouble of building a nedbus install, something will drag it in anyway, or will fail. | 05:45 |
| onefang | If I wasn't bogged down with other projects, I'd write dcar, does the same job as dbus but not so bloated. | 05:48 |
| Xenguy | hah | 05:50 |
| Xenguy | dwalk ? | 05:50 |
| onefang | Well I do walk everywhere, but that's kinda slow. | 05:50 |
| onefang | dbike, more manouverable. | 05:50 |
| Xenguy | And still lightweight | 05:51 |
| fsmithred | onefang, pin dbus to -1 and it won't get pulled in. My build has a couple of dbus libraries that got pulled in. I think one of them would go if I removed one particular app. I don't recall which. | 16:11 |
| onefang | What would break due to the lack of dbus though? | 16:59 |
| onefang | Though I sometimes see dbus errors in my logs, so things break even if it's there. lol | 17:05 |
| onefang | Off to sleep now. | 17:05 |
