Hi, tonight I tried to install Devuan Jessie Alpha 4 on my system after installing a new, clean hard-disk. At first I launched the Installer from CD (EFI boot) selecting "Expert mode" in the Installer CD's Grub Menu.
This did not work: after manually partitioning the system, I selected "Install the system" in the installer menu, which asked me for Mode of installation "normal" vs. "live" . But whatever I selected, I immediately got a generic error screen "Installation step failed". The installer log (Alt+F4) read something like "base-installer: error: Could not find any live images" I only succeeded after rebooting the installer in normal (non-expert) mode: after partitioning the hard-disk, the base system download&installation now automatically started and (almost) successfully ran through: this time I got a "HTTP connection closed" error somewhere at the end of downloads and had to re-start that installation step. Installation then completed without further problems. I'm now running Devuan via UEFI boot on an encrypted root partition (dm-crypt+LVM) without any problems. Very nice. BTW, 'dpkg --status systemd' lists systemd as installed. Is this a stub? I'm also not happy with NetworkManager running by default. Will have to do some more cleanup... cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk2.gpg Fingerprint: B63B 6AF2 4EEB F033 46F7 7F1D 935E 6F08 E457 205F _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
