[DNG] Installing sysv-init under Debian Buster
Hi List, Noting here a solution from the debian-user mailing list. I'm aware there's a team working for init system flexibility on Debian and send my kudos and beer vouchers to them :-) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/06/msg00961.html quoted message follow > On Jun 27, 2019, at 12:42 AM, Rick Thomas wrote: > > > >> On Jun 25, 2019, at 11:20 PM, Jonas Smedegaard wrote: >> >> Seems this would work as well, with less collateral damage: >> >> apt install -y sysvinit-core elogind >> apt --purge autoremove >> > > This works great and, as noted, is far more elegant. > > Thanks, Jonas! > Rick A warning about all of these solutions: They will remove the package, network-manager. Sometimes this may rewrite the “/etc/network/interfaces” file. You can loose network connectivity after a reboot as a result. Be prepared to login to the console and fix that up manually if it happens. Another work-around is to, before doing any apt stuff at all, put a suitable fragment into the “/etc/network/interfaces.d/“ directory that configures at least one of your network interfaces the way you want it. As an example, on my test system I have: > $ cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/enp0s3 > auto enp0s3 > iface enp0s3 inet dhcp Hope it helps!

However that said, I would. Thanks, -- Martin I hope it may be possible to do so. Maybe, when package have been merged in amprolla (Devuan infrastructure use amprolla, now at the version 3, who has the task to merge apt repository; the software is written in python). Inject runit/s6/otherinit script in packages should be equivalent to: - open package deb - edit postinst and prerm files and add rule at bottom of postinst and rule at top of prerm: if [ runit_is_present ]; then do stuff fi if [ other_init_is_present ]; then do stuff fi if [ another_init_is_present ]; then do stuff fi - close package deb All possible scenarios should be considered, and this could complicate the software. We could ask to Devuan developers and caretakers if it could be a good idea. -- viverna ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Is this referring to the use of a keyfile in the initrd? Or is this the
case in all encrypted debian-based systems, whether /boot is part of the
encrypted volume or not?
Bug report says:
"It installs an encryption key in the initramfs, the problem is
that in Debian, the initramfs is world readable by default, which
means that a user on an unlocked system could retrieve the unlock
key."
/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook says:
# KEYFILE_PATTERN: ...
#
# The value of this variable is interpreted as a shell pattern.
# Matching key files from the crypttab(5) are included in the initramfs
# image. The associated devices can then be unlocked without manual
# intervention. (For instance if /etc/crypttab lists two key files
# /etc/keys/{root,swap}.key, you can set KEYFILE_PATTERN="/etc/keys/*.key"
# to add them to the initrd.)
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
