debdogoops, off topic02:08
chubby-cactusHello All :^) I'm having trouble with putting /boot on a USB. Can anyone confirm these instructions are still working? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/134837/separate-boot-partition-on-usb?rq=102:12
* _ds_ isn't certain that putting /boot on a bus is a good idea02:24
XenguyGrown-ups express their feelings with passion02:24
debdogheehee02:26
chubby-cactusBut... But my Security o(╥﹏╥)o02:29
golinuxGrown-ups should express themselves wisdom which definitely leaves passion out of the equation02:44
golinuxAnd let's take further discussion to #devuan-offtopic02:45
golinuxWITH wisdom (need to proofread better)02:45
rwpchubby-cactus, I don't think there is really anything special about having /boot on USB.  If you want it then Just Do It.02:46
rwpHowever personally I don't see that as being interesting.  Since there isn't anything of interest stored in /boot.02:46
chubby-cactusHaving /boot on a separate disk can deter some potential risks. It is trivial to write a trojan into a plaintext boot part. Theft would require more sophistication.03:04
chubby-cactusI have already tried following the guide, I'm troubleshooting my install now. Wanted to confirm the instructions aren't dated03:05
chubby-cactusMy USB is correctly formatted, my LVM looks correct. I don't know where the problem is. I just boot to a blinking cursor.03:07
fsmithredchubby-cactus, you edited /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab to point to the new location, using uuid or labels instead of device names?03:17
fsmithredand run update-grub to generate a new boot menu03:18
fsmithredI didn't read the instructions you linked. I'm going to sleep now.03:20
fsmithredoh, grub-install and update-grub and maybe update-initramfs03:20
chubby-cactus@fsmithred All my UUIDs in /etc/crypttab /fstab are matching07:03
gnarfacewhen is the last time you checked? remember resizing or reformatting the partition will change the UUID07:11
chubby-cactusI have the encrypted LVM mounted now07:12
chubby-cactusI07:13
chubby-cactusI am using a Live CD07:13
gnarfaceoh, encrypted LVM, that's the complication07:18
gnarfacethere's something you have to do special but i forget what07:18
gnarfacei vaguely recall that it might have just involved setting some special environment variable... CRYPTSETUP or something like that?07:18
chubby-cactusI tried to make sure GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y, and adding UUID to boot parameter, but I forgot what file that's in :P07:18
gnarfacegrub variables go in /etc/default/grub07:19
gnarfacedisk UUIDs go in /etc/fstab but kernel command-line variables also go in /etc/default/grub07:19
gnarfaceso it's possible you might have to put the UUID in two files in this case, not sure07:20
chubby-cactusThere is something you have to do in addtion to GRUB_ENABLE where you point directly to the encrypted UUID07:20
chubby-cactusI already confirmed all UUIDs match in /etc/crypttab and /fstab07:20
chubby-cactus (•◡•) /07:22
chubby-cactusI added GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to /etc/default/grub, and "rd.lvm.vg=vg rd.luks.uuid=<>" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Anything else I should add before another reboot?07:36
chubby-cactusBlinking. Cursor.08:02
chubby-cactus(•̀o•́)ง08:08
gnarfacei don't know for sure honestly, seems like everyone has trouble with this, but i don't use it08:09
gnarfacesome people do though, stick around until one of them shows up08:09
gnarfacethere might be info on the forum08:09
gnarfacei think LVM is the source of complication08:10
gnarfacemaybe you have to feed it a volume id instead of a partition id or soemthing08:10
chubby-cactusAgreed. I'm going to sleep. Thank you kind stranger (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥08:25
fsmithredchubby-cactus might need to install cryptsetup-initramfs13:45
rwpAll of that (cryptsetup*) would be done automatically by the installer.15:14
fsmithredrwp, it was an upgrade, and there have been some changes in the packages.16:06
rwpChanges?!  I must go read the Release Notes carefully then!16:07
fsmithredI've run into it a few times where I had to add a cryptsetup package16:08
fsmithredalso, CRYPTSETUP=y in /etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook is deprecated/missing.16:12

AEonFyrI find myself in the (un)fortunate position of having to recompile a package: strongswan19:46
AEonFyrWhen I "apt-get build-dep strongswan" I get unmet dependencies on libsystemd-dev & systemd19:46
AEonFyrIs there any online documentation or guide on how to work around this for devuan?19:46
AEonFyrAm reading Packaging Guide for Devuan, the answers are probably in there....19:58
gnarfacemaybe it has a --without-systemd option?20:28
AEonFyrapt-get? I don't see such an option.20:40
AEonFyrI've abandoned build-dep for now, proceeded to download the source (apt-get source) and see if I can build it directly20:43
brocashelmalso giving me the same problem. building from source is all that you can try now20:46
brocashelm--without-systemd isn't an understood option20:46
furrymcgeeyou can try to download with apt source then remove --enable-systemd in debian/rules and start the build with with dpkg-buildpackage --no-check-builddeps20:57
AEonFyrThanks, the build from source has worked and provided what I need for now (a deprecated plugin).21:04
furrymcgeeyou could ask debian maintainers to add a vendor specic patch file21:11
fsmithredfrom /usr/share/doc/libelogind0/README.debian:21:27
fsmithredNote that this runtime binary compatibility conflicts with satisfying the build21:27
fsmithreddependency of packages requiring libsystemd-dev. If you need to compile packages21:27
fsmithredagainst libsystemd-dev on a system with libelogind0 installed you will need to21:27
fsmithreduse a build chroot. Suitable tools to achieve this include pbuilder(8),21:27
fsmithredcowbuilder(8) and sbuild(1).21:27
avbox111I want to install e.foundation easy installer for fairphone 3. It says I need snap. How can I install snap on devuan beowulf?22:15
fsmithredavbox111, you can't22:21
fsmithredit requires systemd22:21
golinuxhttps://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt22:21
avbox111fsmithred: Ok, thank you for the clear answer.22:22
fsmithredappimage works in devuan22:23
avbox111fsmithred: I know, but there I don't find Easy installer for e.foundation22:34
fsmithredthis is a phone OS and it needs systemd???22:35
