| fsmithred | I've done it manually from a live usb. Not sure if I've done it from grub. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | if it works, it'll give you the grub menu from the ssd | 00:02 |
| onefang | set root=(md/10,gpt1) | 00:05 |
| fsmithred | oh, ok | 00:05 |
| onefang | Got that to work eventually. Now to make it permanent. | 00:31 |
| fsmithred | update-grub from within the installled system | 00:31 |
| fsmithred | oh, that won't work if the usb is running grub | 00:32 |
| fsmithred | in that case, you need to add an entry manually to the first grub menu. | 00:32 |
| ElPresidente | Is ceres usable on Devuan like it is on Debian? | 02:06 |
| ElPresidente | I prefer to run said on my desktops. | 02:06 |
| ElPresidente | sid* | 02:07 |
| fsmithred | ElPresidente, yeah, there are some people running ceres, and they say it's ok. If you're used to sid, it's mostly the same. | 02:10 |
| golinux | ElPresidente: Some here do. | 02:10 |
| ElPresidente | i'll probably run devuan ceres then | 02:13 |
| gnarface | just like with debian, the easiest way to get it is usually to just do a minimal install of stable then upgrade through testing to it | 02:25 |
| brocashelm | no issues with ceres. it's very stable for me. just don't expect much support if something breaks because it's not an lts release | 02:34 |
| brocashelm | don't forget to install apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges | 02:35 |
| onefang | sledjhamr.org is back up for all your package mirror needs. B-) | 02:52 |
| onefang | And I should get some sleep. lol | 02:52 |
| golinux | onefang: Well done! | 03:14 |
| Xenguy | Good one onefang | 03:42 |
| Xenguy | Sounds like a busy job | 03:43 |
| Xenguy | You were talking about RAID and other stuff, and I was just <shiver> | 03:44 |
| Xenguy | Last thing you want at upgrade time is for things to go south | 03:44 |
| Xenguy | Just really glad things worked out. Upgrades make me nervous sometimes actually | 03:46 |
| brocashelm | is it possible to run an xfce-based devuan system with less than 1,000 packages installed? lowest i can go right now is about 1,600 packages, and i removed a lot of kde stuff in the process | 23:36 |
| gnarface | not sure about package count, but what is the install size? | 23:41 |
| gnarface | ditch the gui login and you probably save a lot of packages | 23:42 |
| brocashelm | i've been using startx this whole time | 23:45 |
| brocashelm | using 60 gb on a 250 gb drive (just for the os) | 23:46 |
| gnarface | oh, something is off the rails there for sure | 23:47 |
| gnarface | you should be able to do this in less than 2GB | 23:47 |
| gnarface | i never paid much attention to the package count, but the base install size for a window manager is around 2GB. a minimal install is around 500MB if you don't install anything else. | 23:47 |
| gnarface | KDE is a lot bigger, probably pulled in tons of cruft if you let it | 23:48 |
| brocashelm | i don't even have any wine, libreoffice, kde, etc. installed on this machine | 23:48 |
| gnarface | lots of that stuff is ostensibly compatible with other WMs so it may not have been auto-removed with KDE | 23:48 |
| brocashelm | might also be due to the logs | 23:48 |
| gnarface | well, could be... those would be some pretty big logs though | 23:49 |
| gnarface | you should have logrotate to take care of that | 23:49 |
| gnarface | you might have better results if you start with a minimal install, then disable recommends, then only install what you need ala-carte | 23:49 |
| gnarface | if you pick one of the desktop tasks in the tasksel phase of the install it will load you up with everything they could find an excuse to bundle | 23:50 |
| brocashelm | tasksel never seemed to work for me | 23:50 |
| gnarface | odd | 23:51 |
| gnarface | do you use the stable install image or are you trying to jump straight to testing or unstable? | 23:51 |
| brocashelm | i was running the chimaera minimal iso and it told me there was a bug (don't remember which) and i had to report it to debian's bug team | 23:51 |
| gnarface | you can install and run tasksel after you install | 23:51 |
| gnarface | just fyi | 23:51 |
| gnarface | but that won't necessarily lower the package count in your situation... 60GB is a lot | 23:52 |
| brocashelm | my daily drivers all use unstable, but i always start with stable | 23:52 |
| gnarface | 60GB is like a full suite worth of software... how you could have reached 60GB without installing libreoffice practically boggles the mind | 23:52 |
| brocashelm | checking baobab, /var takes about 19 gb | 23:53 |
| brocashelm | hmm, pacct seems to be the culprit (17.7 gb) | 23:53 |
