systemdlete | It's an lvm partition. | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
systemdlete | And the lvm tools are loaded. | 00:00 |
systemdlete | I can run lvs, e.g. | 00:00 |
IanJ | https://superuser.com/questions/917988/gparted-cannot-resize-extended-or-lvm-partition#918346 | 00:01 |
IanJ | Might be helpful. | 00:01 |
gnarface | oh, i thought the whole point of LVM was so you didn't have to use gparted for stuff like this | 00:03 |
systemdlete | Well, there the user wanted to extend the partition. That works fine. | 00:03 |
systemdlete | gnarface: It is, actually! The troulbe is that I put the encryption on a partition, not a vg. | 00:03 |
systemdlete | I suppose I could correct that | 00:03 |
systemdlete | IanJ: I was trying to sort of "slide" the partition to the end of the disk. That's what doesn't work. | 00:04 |
systemdlete | I think partition magic could do tricks like that. | 00:05 |
systemdlete | But part magic is no longer a thing it seems. Symantec discontinued support for it long ago | 00:05 |
systemdlete | I think I found a web page explaining how to create a luks on a vg. | 00:06 |
systemdlete | Thanks gnarface, IanJ. | 00:06 |
sadsnork | systemdlete are you still there? I think arch wiki has a good article on encryption with various combinations of luks, vm, etc. | 00:09 |
sadsnork | Found it... does this look useful? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system | 00:10 |
systemdlete | Encrypting the entire system is actually the easiest thing. But I see no reason to encrypt /usr or /boot, not to mention the pain that would be at boot time. | 00:11 |
systemdlete | Thanks for the link, though. I will look at it. | 00:11 |
sadsnork | Hmmm, scrolling back up I see that maybe doesn't answer your original question... Some of the info may hopefully help, even if it applies to only part of a system instead of all of it. :-) | 00:12 |
systemdlete | well, there is asection about luks on lvm... I'll look at that. But istr that it is only available to lv's not vg's. | 00:12 |
systemdlete | hmmm. Good catch, sadsnork! They do have support for encrypted vg after all. I just did not know it could be done. | 00:14 |
sadsnork | The part I like is that the descriptions they have are generally intended to be a more "manual" way of dealing with the filesystems. | 00:15 |
sadsnork | I'm hoping you'll find a tidbit there that'll get you going in the right direction. | 00:15 |
systemdlete | If this works, I will truly have the best of all worlds. | 00:16 |
brocashelm | using deb-multimedia on ceres until this freeze is over with; no problems with mpv or ffmpeg | 01:45 |
ElPresidente | has xsane been removed from the default install of buster yet? | 07:04 |
ElPresidente | i ran dist-upgrade from buster -> bullsye but it's still there | 07:04 |
ElPresidente | er...bullsye not buster. plus i forget i was in the devuan irc not debian lol | 07:05 |
omen | if i want to change from stable to unstable, is there more steps than just changing the package repos? | 12:00 |
omen | and updating | 12:00 |
omen | and upgrading | 12:00 |
pandakekok9 | that's all there is it to it really. just change where your apt points to, do apt update, and then upgrade and full-upgrade | 12:02 |
pandakekok9 | depending on how large your stable system is, it can take some time to upgrade all your packages | 12:03 |
pandakekok9 | I suggest backing up your system first just in case. | 12:03 |
omen | yea, thanks | 12:04 |
pandakekok9 | Always look at what apt tells you too, before doing the upgrade. It could remove some packages you don't meant to remove | 12:04 |
pandakekok9 | and read the changelogs it will give to you carefully | 12:04 |
omen | yeah I actually installed bunch of python packages acidentally earlier :D | 12:04 |
pandakekok9 | you can do it, I upgraded my stables to unstable two times, and it went well :) | 12:05 |
onefang | Also, don't use the names "stable" and "unstable" in your apt config. Coz when Debian switches what their stable is, it'll create a mess. Since Devuan packages come from a mixture both distros. | 12:15 |
GyrosGeier | hm | 12:16 |
GyrosGeier | but that mixture is happening server side on Devuan servers | 12:16 |
GyrosGeier | also, cdebootstrap doesn't work for Devuan because of that | 12:16 |
GyrosGeier | it's mostly a bug in cdebootstrap, but still annoying | 12:17 |
onefang | You can feel free to try it, but I've warned you. You can keep both pieces if it breaks. The other Devuan devs will say the same thing, use the actual Devuan code names. | 12:18 |
GyrosGeier | I agree that it's a bad idea | 12:18 |
omen | good point. I dont even remember devuan codenames since I'm new | 12:29 |
omen | they are planets, right? or maybe I'm mixing | 12:29 |
onefang | Yep, planets. | 12:47 |
onefang | Jessie, ASCII, Beowelf, Chimeara (maybe spelled it wrong), Ceres. | 12:48 |
onefang | Or rather planets, moons, asteroids, etc. | 12:48 |
onefang | And I spelled Beowulf wrong to. lol | 12:48 |
ShorTie | That's Ok, We don't take off for spelling | 14:17 |
drn | hi all. I just flashed the bios chip on a x230. the process went great, but I cannot boot into Devuan Beowulf nor a live usb running Beowulf. After asking ppl at coreboot, the problem might be that the system is on efi and now it's bios. How can I solve this? | 17:19 |
drn | there's not a problem to fresh install, nothing is on the system. I need some guidance though to know how should I proceed | 17:31 |
golinux | onefang: fyi . . . https://www.devuan.org/os/releases | 17:50 |
dice_ | hello | 18:18 |
dice_ | question everything | 18:51 |
lts | Why? | 18:52 |
dice_ | why not? | 18:52 |
search_social | drn Can you get to a grub shell? | 21:36 |
drn | search_social: hello. I don't think so, reading about grub shell now. I've ruled out the chip flashing, I can run another live distro. Would like to run and install devuan though. Now that I know it can boot from usb, I will try again making a devuan usb | 21:40 |
search_social | drn: Does the other live distro give you a grub boot menu choice? | 21:42 |
stiltr | Perhaps you need to disable secure boot and enable "legacy" booting, or whatever it's called? | 21:43 |
search_social | I have been able to get to grub (and therefore to devuan) on both a bios and efi system from a usb | 21:43 |
search_social | the dd method works but i didn't want to lose the ability to use the jump drive for other stuff too and through some pain and suffering got it to work without dd | 21:44 |
drn | I currently have seabios, since today, I'm not that familiar with its settings, although it doesn't look like it has many... no coreboot. There was nothing on the system, so a fresh install is welcome. I'll tell you in a few minutes if it works, writing the usb now | 21:47 |
golinux | (Diving into the BIOS gives me palpitations) | 21:50 |
drn | good news, live usb booted, works magnificent, even the wifi :) | 21:58 |
golinux | *\o/* | 22:00 |
drn | thank you for your help, it helped massively having someone to bounce ideas with | 22:11 |
