| Nrml | Coming back to report on my installation of Devuan Daedalus Preview 20221128, as promised. | 07:46 |
| gnarface | did it work? | 07:46 |
| Nrml | I just installed it in a KVM VPS I purchased from Contabo during Black Friday promo | 07:47 |
| Nrml | gnarface: yep, with just one issue I would like to report | 07:48 |
| Nrml | The issue happened at the "Configure the package manager" step | 07:48 |
| Nrml | Here's the error screen, after accepting the default options: https://i.imgur.com/1Oucqzx.png | 07:50 |
| Nrml | And here's how /etc/apt/sources.list ended up after the install: https://i.imgur.com/1qK6TOb.png | 07:52 |
| Nrml | Apart from that, the install was completely smooth | 07:52 |
| Nrml | Machine rebooted with the openssh-server I opted to install, logged in using the account I created, all perfect | 07:53 |
| Nrml | And curiously enough, `apt-get install` is working, just installed a package (despite the mess in /etc/apt/sources.list as depicted above) | 07:53 |
| Nrml | So I will be moving ahead with this install. Just would like to hear about the issue I reported. | 07:54 |
| Nrml | Should I worry? Is there anything I should do to my /etc/apt/sources.list? | 07:55 |
| Nrml | ^gnarface | 07:55 |
| rrq | daedalus doesn't get a security side-repsitory until the release, so it's all fine like that | 07:59 |
| Nrml | rrq: I tried uncommenting the commented-out lines and then ran `apt-get update`, got the following error: | 08:00 |
| Nrml | E: The repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security Release' does not have a Release file. | 08:00 |
| Nrml | N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. | 08:00 |
| Nrml | rrq: so this is expected and should self-cure after Daedalus is released? | 08:00 |
| rrq | correct. well, you'll have to then edit your sources.list yourself of course. | 08:01 |
| Nrml | rrq: I can keep the lines uncommented (as `apt-get update` seems to be updating the main repo) and just wait for Daedalus to be released and the security repo to be created, right? | 08:04 |
| Nrml | I mean, the security repo will be created with the same URL etc that's already there | 08:04 |
| rrq | I think they need to be commented for updating your local meta data.. | 08:05 |
| Nrml | hummrmrm | 08:05 |
| Nrml | because things seem to be working perfectly, both `apt-get update` (except for the security repo) and `apt-get install` is working with no issues | 08:06 |
| gnarface | Nrml: yea you're fine, looks good | 08:07 |
| gnarface | all that'll happen bad is you're gonna get errors whenever you try to update the package cache, but i think it should still work | 08:08 |
| Nrml | perfect | 08:08 |
| gnarface | personally i'd leave them commented until the official release just because i don't like errors but they probably won't hurt anything | 08:08 |
| gnarface | if you're scripting something it might be a complication because the process won't exit 0 but if you're not updating it much you probably won't notice | 08:09 |
| Nrml | Thanks gnarface and rrq for the help, and all the Devuan community for another job exceedingly well done. May Devuan live long and true! | 08:09 |
| onefang | Commenting out so you don't see the errors is good, then you're more likely to spot any real errors. | 08:10 |
| Nrml | onefang: thanks for the tip, will keep it in mind -- but I would rather see the errors as a reminder that I'm still missing security updates, than to silence it and eventually forget it all ;-) | 08:13 |
| * Nrml waves | 08:13 | |
| onefang | Fair enough. | 08:13 |
| onefang | That MIDI keyboard / drum pads / controllers is all cleaned up, put back together, and working fine. Now I gotta sort out the software. Seems most needs jack, and I only had alsa. I'm gonna need to get jack behaving. Hydrogen is working fine for the drums, Piano Booster for the keyboard. | 15:58 |
| onefang | Later though, I should sleep. | 16:27 |
| gnarface | i've heard from other sources that most the serious audio studio stuff does rely on jack | 16:28 |
