| mike_y | Hello! I installed Devuan 64bit in order to install VirtualBox for Whonix but I can't find it | 12:22 |
| mike_y | I have all the standard repositories deb and deb-src uncommented including backports, which is shown in package search | 12:23 |
| mike_y | https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=virtualbox&release=ascii | 12:24 |
| mike_y | I don't see anything Virtualbox related in the Synaptic Package Manager | 12:24 |
| mike_y | Also: after install scripts report completion I had to login as root and use passwd on user account btw | 12:25 |
| zatumil | 11 results for "virtualbox" in ascii | 12:41 |
| Digit | hi chaps. do you know /etc/os-release is saying ID=debian ? chimaera/ceres. meant to be like that? or meant to be like other devuan releases and say devuan there? | 13:37 |
| gnarface | it is probably just an oversight, but you might want to file a bug report about it if you want it to be remembered | 13:44 |
| onefang | I think there was issues with grub2 needing that, or something. | 13:55 |
| fsmithred | ID=debian is so that some third-party packages will recognize us. I'm not sure if that affects the grub-efi issue. (i.e. naming the bootloader directory) | 14:56 |
| TwistedFate | wish i know how to configure grub properly | 15:10 |
| TwistedFate | whenever it messes up, i'm dead in the water :/ | 15:10 |
| clemens3 | lilo was so simple.. the good old days:) | 15:13 |
| onefang | I'm experimenting with switching to syslinux and friends. | 15:14 |
| fsmithred | switching from grub to extlinux and back is easy | 15:16 |

| fsmithred | if you're talking about doing it with uefi, then I don't know anything. | 15:18 |
| onefang | I'm testing it on a VM first. | 15:24 |
| fsmithred | onefang, if you figure out uefi, please tell me about it. | 15:39 |
| onefang | I try to turn off UEFI on any computer I control. | 15:39 |
| fsmithred | or tell me about it even if you don't. | 15:39 |
| fsmithred | I understand. | 15:39 |
| onefang | I vaguely recall some mention of EUFI in the syslinux docs. | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | I have one set to uefi so I can test. | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | yeah, there are syslinux modules for uefi | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | I haven't seen a clear explanation of how to use them. | 15:40 |
| fsmithred | Also haven't looked for said explanation recently. | 15:41 |
| onefang | I guess I should get EUFI working on Magic Pixie Dust some day, that's part of it's goals. Gotta convert it to full syslinux to. | 15:41 |
| fsmithred | onefang, here's an explanation of syslinux-uefi: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Install | 16:23 |
| fsmithred | I'm doing a uefi install on usb stick right now. When I'm done I'll try to switch the bootloader to syslinux. | 16:23 |
| onefang | That'll be my "vaguely recall some mention of EUFI in the syslinux docs". B-) | 16:23 |
| onefang | When I need it, not now I'm too busy with other stuff, I'll go hunting. Thanks. | 16:24 |
| fsmithred | if it works, I'll add it to my forum post | 16:43 |
| lucie_ow | Hi! Is there a way to grab a testing iso? | 19:03 |
| gnarface | lucie_ow: there aren't any official ones. you'd have to build it yourself, or get one from somebody who has | 23:48 |
| gnarface | (most people just upgrade from stable) | 23:48 |
| fsmithred | we | 23:51 |
| fsmithred | we're getting close | 23:51 |
