Hi all, just to report that I managed to install Devuan ascii on a new laptop, and everything works just fine. Well, to be honest, I was *not* able to install ascii from the any of the Jessie beta medium, since the d-i wants to install libpam-systemd which depends on systemd, so the install fails (the issue has been filed in our git already), but a simple dist-upgrade from a console-only Devuan Jessie worked without problems.
I actually wasted 20 minutes to figure out that avahi was mangling with name resolving and routing. I simply had forgotten that such a stupid thing might have been around. I would warmly suggest to *remove* avahi from any standard devuan install, and, as suggested by somebody else as well, to remove avahi altogether from any "Recommends:". If it was on me, I would have also included a message like "You are trying to install avahi, which will trash your system, waste a lot of your time, and make you swear in forgotten languages. If you are sure you want to proceed, please type 'Yes, I am sure I want to proceed installing avahi and I am aware that it will trash my system, and waste a lot of my time, and make my swear in forgotten languages, but I am really sure I need the damn thing'" when you try to apt-get install it... I will keep reporting issues/problems on gitlab (there are already a few minor cosmetic things to consider), but for the rest it is just a boring everything-works-out-of-the-box experience :) HND KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - GLUGCT -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
