| grillon | hi gnarface, yes the replacement card is working like a charm. I have another card of the same vendor on another pi that had some problems but it was after a forced shutdown. I've lost files but I was able to repair so I still don't know for this one. | 07:55 |

| abc32 | Hey guys, I just broke my network on a fresh Debian Stretch installation by apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade-ing. Since my irc login data is stored on that machine I cant get into #debian on freenode or oftc. I was wondering if you would take a look. Error msg reads: | 16:25 |
| abc32 | W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rlt_nic/rtl<different-numbers-on-multiple-lines>.fw for module r8169 | 16:26 |
| debdog | try installing package firmware-realtek abc32 | 16:28 |
| debdog | if it's not installed already, of course | 16:30 |
| abc32 | debdog: I specifically recall that Jessie demanded network drivers during installation. Stretch went through any request and worked perfectly up until now. According to dpkg firmware-realtek isn't installed. I'll try that now. | 16:34 |
| abc32 | *without | 16:34 |
| Leander | by the way, since this is Devuan here, not Debian, have you been migrating from one to the other? | 16:36 |
| abc32 | Leander: I use both accross different machines, sticking to Devuan whenever I can. But this is a clean install. | 16:54 |
| abc32 | so I run # dpkg -i on the .orig / .debian / .dsc file? Is there any difference? | 16:55 |
| Leander | you should have retrieved the .deb file | 16:55 |
| Leander | then: dpkg -i that_file.deb | 16:56 |
| abc32 | Leander: since the machine in question is offlie, I have to download this via browser, the aforementioned file extensions are all the options available | 16:57 |
| KatolaZ | abc32: ypou can run dpkg -i on a .deb file... | 16:59 |
| Leander | if you can't find a .deb file, you're not looking at the right place on the archive mirror, I guess | 17:00 |
| abc32 | Is this wrong? https://packages.debian.org/de/stretch/firmware-realtek | 17:04 |
| Leander | abc32: http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-realtek_20161130-3_all.deb | 17:04 |
| Leander | that's the package, I don't know why the page does not link to the .deb files themselves | 17:05 |
| golinux | Leander: Why are you advising to get packages directly from Debian. That is a nono and could break a system. | 17:18 |
| golinux | Those packages should also be available via the Devuan repos in non-free | 17:18 |
| Leander | from what I understand, abc32 is using Debian | 17:20 |
| abc32 | # dpkg -i on the debfile runs through without error but network remains down after reboot. ip a reports "state DOWN". are there further suggestions or shall I find a backup? | 17:32 |
| banshi | hello all | 17:33 |
| banshi | guys, is it possible to restore ext4 partition if gpt or mbr is totally wiped? | 17:33 |
| golinux | Leander: So much for my early morning reading comprehension . . . | 17:46 |
| golinux | but I don't expect to find Debian questions/answers on this list. | 17:47 |
| abc32 | golinux: #devuan was kind enough to give my problem a shot, because I couldnt get into #debin, because of missing irc login data (which resides on the machine I just broke) | 17:51 |
| abc32 | I will now go for option "backup", thank you very much everyone. | 17:51 |
| golinux | abc32: Hope you can get up and running soon. Sorry for the noise. | 17:53 |
| abc32 | golinux: if anything, I should be apologising for the occupation. thank you very much. | 17:57 |
| gnarface | banshi: yes, as long as the partition itself is not wiped | 18:00 |
| banshi | gnarface, any tools to automate it? | 18:00 |
| gnarface | a few, i think | 18:01 |
| gnarface | gparted should have a rescue mode | 18:01 |
| gnarface | yes, try device->attempt data rescue | 18:03 |
| gnarface | i assume that should try to fit a partition table to the existing filesystems on the disk | 18:04 |
| gnarface | i think the installer still has a recovery mode, too | 18:05 |
| gnarface | if you know the partition number, you can probably even get at it from a grub console | 18:05 |
| gnarface | really if all that happened was mbr was wiped, and you remember what the partition layout was, you can just manually recreate it exactly, and the filesystems should fit in place | 18:08 |
| gnarface | gparted is probably easier | 18:09 |
