[DNG] Help testing Devuan 2 ASCII installer and upgrades!
Dear Devuaners, the Devuan team is currently working towards a Release Candidate for Devuan 2 "ASCII". Most of the parts should be already in place, but particularly in the policykit/consolekit/elogind area we are in need of some more thorough testing in order to guarantee correct installation of any of the supported desktop environments as well as smooth upgrades of existing installations. Here is where you can make a valuable contribution: If you happen to have a spare Devuan (Jessie|ASCII) or a Debian (Jessie|Stretch) desktop machine (virtual or hardware) that you feel brave enough to sacrifice for testing the upgrade paths - please do so! Ideally, you should report any irregularities you encounter in this thread. The main observation focus should be set on session related functionality, especially the ability to user mount removable drives and to restart or shutdown the machine using the controls offered by the respective desktop environment. Furthermore, testing fresh installs in various configurations using the latest ASCII mini.iso [1] will be much appreciated, although we should already have a pretty good coverage in that area, but more testing is always a Good Thing[TM]. Thank you very much, any help you can offer is much appreciated!

The manual re-install, followed by a dist-upgrade worked fine, just that now I am missing reboot / shutdown functionality from within LXDE again, which is why I originally had moved from consolekit to elogind. No serious problem for now, as the hw-button works - just as a feedback. I have a similarly configured Jessie machine here (LXDE and Slim, but w/o configurable hw-button), that I could to upgrade to Ascii in the next few days. If there are modifications planned related to this issue, I'll be happy to wait for further instructions - otherwise I'll probably stay with Jessie for some more time. Would it help to file a bug report? If so, for consolekit or for policykit? libre Grüße, Florian -- \ \\ \ \ | | / \ | ILS SONT FOUX| |CES ROMAINS!| \__/ pgpsbwfIoC5Gg.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[...] For the record: The following irregularities have already surfaced for fresh installations using the current state of the repositories: Installing SSH server in combination with a desktop environment that originally depends on consolekit session management results in elogind being installed (peculiar, but not harmful per se) and a mismatch of the policykit backend libraries - this definitely *is* a problem! Note that in each of the cases listed below both consolekit and elogind are present (weird, but not a problem in itself) and the elogind PAM module libpam-elogind is installed, while the consolekit PAM module libpam-ck-connector is missing - which makes more or less sense, as these two are mutually exclusive. *However*, and this is the crux, given that exact constellation it would be correct to also have the matching libpolkit-(backend|gobject)-elogind-1-0 packages, but instead the corresponding *-consolekit-* packages are installed. Thus, unfortunately something is still slightly off with the polkit dependencies. 1.

The main observation focus should be set on session related functionality, especially the ability to user mount removable drives and to restart or shutdown the machine using the controls offered by the respective desktop environment. Furthermore, testing fresh installs in various configurations using the latest ASCII mini.iso [1] will be much appreciated, although we should already have a pretty good coverage in that area, but more testing is always a Good Thing[TM]. I'm on it, so far checked md5 and it's okay and I dd to usb and it boots to the installer. :) Currently I'm making some new partitions to test on and that's going to take awhile. I will be installing TDE-Trinity for Stretch and get back to you ASAP. This install is from the current ASCII release with the 4.9.0-4 kernel now fully upgraded and clean with TDE and it's working on 4 different computers intel and amd from 2 cores to 8 cores. Partitions are ready for new install. Everything seems to be okay on this Dell Latitude E6430 laptop, TDE-Trinity is installed and updated, I have another install going on another computer, it's a T20 Dell server.
