thx Fred!

i made this devuan as:
- xfce
- 32-bit option checked
- removed conky.
- xz compression

yep, i created Devuan and put live folder (output by your script) inside it. It doesn't contain vmlinuz. Here's my dir:

12/15/2018 10:29 AM 3,796,992 01-filesystem.squashfs
12/16/2018 12:42 AM <DIR> base
12/14/2018 06:32 PM 136 initrd.img
12/14/2018 06:32 PM 1,021,796 initrd1.xz
12/16/2018 12:42 AM <DIR> modules
12/16/2018 12:42 AM <DIR> optional
12/16/2018 12:42 AM <DIR> rootcopy
05/26/2015 02:45 AM 437 stretch-i486.sgn
05/26/2015 02:45 AM 437 stretch-x86_64.sgn
11/16/2018 12:51 PM 32,768 zz_xfce_config.squashfs
7 File(s) 4,853,438 bytes
6 Dir(s) 17,435,467,776 bytes free

i just tried again, and still no vmlinuz.

in the past, have used Devuan successfully on my NTFS drive. Is ext a new requirement?

didn't you update in october? my last tries were a few months prior.

cheers!

Update: Just tried again, without 32bit checked. Got these errors:

i remounted the partition without "nodev", and tried again. No longer getting the errors!

will tell you shortly if i got vmlinuz, but looking good so far.

Hi johnywhy,
still no vmlinuz in live folder.
Yes, your output is full of errors, I suspect you did something unsupported, please give more details, e.g:
- from what type filesystem you ran the script (should be linux filesystem, e.g. ext3 or ext4)

Code: Select all

cannot create /media/johny/Docs/Downloads/Linux/Devuan/stretch
- You have full write permissions to that directory ? (seems not, looking at your output)
- From which OS you ran the script
in the past, have used Devuan successfully on my NTFS drive. Is ext a new requirement?
Not new, changes folder is (and was) only supported on ext
didn't you update in october? my last tries were a few months prior.

Ah, yes, update was changing package sources.

EDIT:
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1456: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /media/johny/Docs/Downloads/Linux/Devuan/stretch/chroot/test-dev-null: Permission denied
No idea where this "test-dev-null" comes from, you have any clue ?

EDIT2:
i remounted the partition without "nodev", and tried again. No longer getting the errors!

will tell you shortly if i got vmlinuz, but looking good so far.
Didn't read your last comment, sorry, I don't know about that 'nodev'.

Fred

Yes , just changes folder and also running the script.
The entire install can be also on NTFS or FAT but then for changes you need to create save file, e.g. changes.dat

Good to know dat file works on NTFS.
I'm running the script on NTFS at the moment. Seems to be working. It's up to

Code: Select all

Unpacking xfce4-weather-plugin (0.8.9-1) ...
You mean the output will be corrupted somehow?

To be honest, I never tried that, but... I really think that's asking for trouble, don't do it, run the script from a Linux filesystem !
EDIT: Probably you get lots of permission issues (when running the built system) if you run the script from NTFS

Ugh.. out of curiosity I just tried on NTFS... terrible !!
Lots of warnings during the build and all files have 777 permissions !!
C'mon.. Don't be a fool, that's not a proper way of building a linux OS (UGH.. AGAIN.. UGH... :wink: )

don't get upset :roll: :lol:
trying to make use of an old machine with small drive, and don't have all the paritions i wish i had.

i noticed when i run 'create save file', if i pick no dir, it says will create in my Devuan dir, but nothing is created.

but if i browse to Devuan/live dir, then the path given doesn't make sense to me ("/mnt" appears twice), but the file does get created in correct location (Devuan/live)

goodness, no need to insult :cry:

will let you know

i'm guessing the error reported in my last reply might be due to this ntfs thing...

have a sunny day, Fred!

Well.. not intented to insult you, just saying it would be very wrong (and that you are on your own) IMO if you would use the Devuan build as your OS the way you did running the script from NTFS.
I'd say run it from computer with ext filesystem and then copy the files to your NTFS partition.

That mountpoint (with the double /mnt) happens in some cases, see it as a small bug.

i installed grub from xtahr. I guess it's grub4dos. None of these work. I get as far as "sgn" file, then i get "device not ready?"

script run from ext2, Devuan running from ext2 partition.

any ideas?

Hi johnywhy, the from=/ needs to be from=/Devuan in your case.

EDIT: Oh, I see now your last entry has that, only the changes=... needs to be e,g,. changes=/Devuan/live
Doesn't work, your last entry ?

*** Updated mklive-stretch script ***

Make executable:

Code: Select all

chmod +x mklive-stretch
And run on a linux filesystem e.g. ext2, ext3 or ext4

Changed: install newest Debian stable kernel ( currently version 4.9.0-8 )

The archive containing boot scripts, aufs and squashfs modules for v4.9.0-8 is:
dog-boot-stretch-20190115.tar.gz
https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/do ... 115.tar.gz

EDIT: Made the same change to "mklive-devuan" (kernel version install changed to: 4.9.0-8 ), see info and attachment here:

@rcrsn51

Please post your USB Realtek drivers for rtl8192cu and -eu for 32 and 64 bit.

Are these drivers dependent on certain kernel versions, and if so which?
