System: PC (amd64)
Distro: Devuan 5 (Daedalus)
Installation media: netinstall iso for amd64
Installation choices: Configure the package manager / Software
selection (Tasksel) / Console Productivity ssh and web server
Installation Tag: Desktopless,console productivity
installation. Postinstallation main packages: xorg,awesome I
desribe the issues:
-----boot messages thrown at my tty1 login terminal
dbus(pid X)
ok run dbus (pid X)
ok run elogind (pid X)
starting Avahi
After purging avahi and elogind i still see in my tty1 :
dbus (pid X) where X points to dbus-deamon --system --nofork
--nopidfile.
---- xorg conflict with luit in Daedalus.
$ sudo apt-get install xorg
luit breaks x11-utils (<7.7.16) but 7.7..15 is to be installed // i
may have the number sligthly incorrect here I had to purge luit.
--- isc-dhcp-clientpolluting syslog with the same message
continuously
Repeatedly the same message is added: dhclient[2336]: Failed to get
interface index: No such device (with another 10 lines of
suggestions) I corrected that by installing udcpcd
--- also due to using an amd gpu with rdna2 architecture
the installer screen was torn and had to pass a vga different option
and due to a debian related change of pushing firmware to another
reposection 'non-free-firmware' i had to change manually sources.list
For most issues i got valuable support from the community.
Generally i feel that tasksel -> console productivity was a choice that
is taken less often and could lead to various issues.
Also although rdna2 is more than 2 years old gpu architecture and
amdgpu is libre software it seems that there is friction in using it.
I am thinking of reinstallation with out consoleproductivity and
generally avoiding tasksel alltogether and cherrypick with
more scrutiny my packages.
