Guest1554hi, I just came from Voidlinux and I want ask you if devuan can accept nonfree debian repo. because my laptop have intel wireless AC 9620 and I need packages firmware-iwlwifi, intel-microcode (non-free) and firmware-misc-nonfree. All of them found in buster nonfree.10:45

Guest2731How to fix an error installing nnn?21:23
Guest2731https://i.ibb.co/6HH1F9Z/28-2.jpg21:23
gnarfacepaste it at imgur and i'll look at it21:23
Guest2731Registration requires a phone number.21:26
Guest2731What's wrong with looking at the picture in the link?21:26
* golinux thinks imgur is yucky 21:34
fsmithredGuest2731, I think you need to install devuan-keyring21:37
fsmithredGuest2731, are you trying to upgrade from ascii (or jessie) to chimaera? Where did you get 1.24 of init-system-helpers? beowulf has 1.56.21:40
fsmithredyour sysv-rc is very old, too21:41
fsmithred1.24 is from jessie.21:43
fsmithredif you're really trying to go from jessie to chimaera, it's probably faster to back up your data and do a fresh install.21:44
Guest2731fsmithred,21:45
Guest2731I am using jessie.21:45
Guest2731problem installing devuan-keyring21:45

Guest2731"Where did you get 1.24 of init-system-helpers?"21:47
Guest2731How can I find out which version is being used?21:47
gnarfacedpkg -l |grep init21:48
gnarfacebtw you don't have to register to imgur to post21:48
gnarfacethey don't make it hard at all, you can just post right there from the front page21:48
fsmithredfrom the output of your command21:49
fsmithredPreparing to unpack... over...21:49
fsmithredsecond image is same as the first21:50
Guest2731I just made a mistake, I have chimaera!21:51
fsmithredhow long do you think you've been running chimaera?21:52
fsmithredwhat's the output of the command that gnarface suggested?21:53
fsmithreddpkg -l |grep init21:53
fsmithreddon't paste that output here21:54
mohammedhello21:54
fsmithredhi21:55
mohammedSysV commands not runs with me. do anybody know what happens?21:55
fsmithredCommand not found?21:55
Guest2731fsmithred, If the installation had ended, the terminal would not have said:21:56
Guest2731nnn: command not found21:56
mohammedyes21:56
fsmithredmohammed, use 'su -' to become root, instead of just 'su'21:56
mohammedfsmithred, it is worked21:58
fsmithred:)21:58
fsmithredthe behavior of su changed, so a lot of people run into this.21:59
fsmithredoops.21:59
fsmithredGuest2731, what version of sysvinit-core is installed?21:59
fsmithredthat'll be in the output of that dpkg command22:00
Guest2731fsmithred, https://imgur.com/a/EDnwKTo22:01
fsmithredcan't you just paste the version here?22:01
Guest27312.88dsf-59.2+devuan222:03
fsmithredyeah, that's jessie22:04
fsmithredhow do you think you arrived at chimaera?22:04
fsmithredwhat did you do to get there?22:04
fsmithredthere are really only three possible answers to that question: upgraded from an older system, did a fresh install, or migrated a debian system to devuan.22:06
Guest2731i see: nano /etc/apt/sources.list and understood - original repos system - jessie, but now I'm even more confused22:08
gnarfacedid you use the word stable or the word jessie?22:11
fsmithredwhen did you change it to chimaera?22:11
Guest2731fsmithred,22:15
Guest2731I looked in the sources.list and realized that the old links to the repositories are turned off through the hash symbol (devuan-jessie), and the new ones are devuan-chimaera. Also I recently added debian-stretch.22:15
Guest2731gnarface, jessie22:15
fsmithredadding debian repos is dangerous (like having unprotected sex)22:16
fsmithredand upgrading directly from jessie to chimaera is an unknown.22:17
fsmithredone of your problems is that the same file is in two different packages.22:17
fsmithredthere was probably a version between your old one and the newest one that addressed this issue.22:17
fsmithredbut you skipped over it.22:18
Guest2731I assume that some of the problems arose from the fact that I configured the repositories incorrectly. How can I test this guess?22:19
fsmithredmaybe looking though /var/log/apt/history*22:19
fsmithredthe correct way to upgrade would have been from jessie to ascii, then to beowulf, then to chimaera.22:20
fsmithredand probably wouldn't be fun even if you did it right22:21
fsmithredand check the date on sources.list to see when it was last edited22:25
Guest2731history.log dropmefiles.com/NAoWZ22:26
fsmithredlook at versions of packages and compare to what pkginfo.devuan.org shows you.22:27
fsmithredyou should be able to figure out when you started getting chimaera packages. I'm guessing it was recent. If it's not in that file, check the archived versions with zless.22:28
Guest2731I shortened sources.list to jessie repositories.22:35
Guest2731Can I now roll back the system to a point where I have no problem installing nnn and devuan-keyring?22:35
fsmithredmaybe, but it's probably a mess and would require some creative pinning. If this is the first upgrade you attempted with chimaera sources, there's a better chance it'll work.22:42
Guest2731What does it look like chimaera sources?22:45
fsmithreddeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main22:45
fsmithredsame for chimaera-security and chimaera-updates22:46
fsmithredadd contrib and non-free if you use those22:46

Guest2731I have other things to do and I'm leaving the chat.23:42
